The Marine Bank Failure.

NEW YORK. May 6th.-Charles F. Elwellat,
president of the Marine Bank said: The
bank is solvent, and there is no reason why it
should not go on. The trouble was all brought
about by the dealing of the bank with the firm
of Grant d Ward. Monday the Cashier was
authorized to certify checks 10 Grant & Ward to
the amount of S750,000, it being understood that
the firm would deposit sufficient security this
morning to cover the Indebtedness. They
waited to make a report this morning and when
the checks were presented atthe clearing house.
there was nothing to meet them with in the
bank. The account showed that the bank owed
a balance of S555,00e TO the clearinghouse, but
it was reduced to S339 900 by the discovery that
there We're among the checks presented over
100000 in uncertitied checks of Grant & Ward
The bank then made payment TO the clearing
house of S2l0,000 in cash, and the remainder in
valuable securities, thus discharging its entire
Indebtedness. The surplus of the bank over
and above its real estate. is S250,0G0 and there
are no other outstanding liabilities. President

Candy Eating.

We all know the story of the melan-
choly tramp, who stated that but for
n trial life would be %endurable, and
that was working between meals"
AS this is-doubtless for our good
what most of us have to do, it is only
n part of the human economy which
and that is the human stomach. That
is a worker which must have rest.
This raid upon bad candy is well. 1t
is evil to be poisoned. 1t were better
to include the whole commodity in the
interdict. The poison is bad; so much
sweet is bad and deranges the diges-
ton and ruins the stomach; the irrita-
,tation of the stomach which crys out is
a craving which seems to call for more,
and the more increases the mischief.
A wise physician OF full experience
I read it somewhere--gave it as his
opinion that ''the candy shops did as
much harm as the rum shops,' and
that means q great deal. The evil is
everywhere; the poorest man can
give his child a penny to buy sweets; q
profitable place for the vendor is as
near the public school as he dares to

Even if pure, so much concentrated
sweet is unwholesome. and still more
that, like the tramp's work. it comes
between meals. The stomach has no
time to rest, the heavy sweetness fer

and more candy. Why don't the doc
tors tell us So? Many Of them do not
know it, or do not think, and more than
that they have tried preaching to the

down their practice. But more than
that is the hopelessness of reasoning

THE PROHIBITIONISTS.

Governor st. John-and Mr.. Daniel Form
ally Notified of Their Nomination.
= CUBA, N. Y, Aug. 26.-The Prohibition
lists are holding a camp meeting, to last five
days. two miles from here. An audience
of 5000 is in attendance. Prof. Dickey,
after the usual exercises, addressed the
candidates, John p. ST. John and
William Daniel, on behalf Of the
committee of the National Conven-
ton of the Prohibition party, which recent
ly met at Pittsburgh. He referred to the
honor done them by old and young men,
and by such women as Frances Willard,
Mary Woodbridge, Mary Lathrop, Esther
Hugh and Mrs. Burt, characterizing the
convention as one composed of earnest men
and pure women, and assuring them of the
Daity's most ardent support. Governor St
Johm replied in the following terms:
Mr.. Chairman and Members of the Commit
tee: In receiving this formal notice OF my
nomination for the highest Office within the
gift of the people by the National Convention
of the Prohibition party, permit me. notwith-
standing the distinction was neither sought
nor desired by me: to assure you, in view or
high appreciation OF the great honor it con.
fers. There are more politicians in the field
to-day than there are political issues. Upon
be done with the traffic Of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage: both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties are united. in
favor of making the traffic permanent, while
the Prohibitionists demand that 1T be forever
placed under the condemnation OF the laws OK
the land. Thus an issue is cleverly made,
and l think it the only one to-day That really
reaches the heart and conscience of the peo-
pie. Upon this issue we go to the people,, the
source Of all political power. Lot US appeal
to reason rather than to prejudice. Let those
resort to personal abuse and scandal who
have nothing better to uphold their cause.
The Prohibition party is not organizing as q
mere threat or menace. 1t is the OuturOWth
OF a rapidly increasing. crystaliZed sentiment
against the great evil of an age; an evil that
the old parties dare not attack, but against
which the young party, of the people, IN de,
upon a warfare that shall never cease so long
as the flag of our country waves its prOtect-
ing folds over legaliZed dram-shops. In this
struggle let us ever remember we are &C
cOuntable to God; that cur duty to Him 1s
paramount to our allegiance to any political
party; that political ties will never IN His
Sight excuse 4 ballot for any party that does
not stand up fearlessly for the right. The
home will nave nothing to fear if the people
vote as they pray.
Mr.. Daniel, who followed, thanked the
party for his nomination, which he accepted
as an indication and desire OF the residents
OF the great North and West to obliterate
all sectional party lines, and build up q
grand union party composed OF the best ele-
ments on both sides of the line in array
against the worst the representatives OF
protection of homes warning against s2
looms.

Sheep Herding and the Coyote.

coyotes are certainly Icing killed off,
either by being SHIT OF poisoned with
strychnine. The latter mode is more
effective. but is attended with serious
dangerto the shepherd dogs, which, in
spite OF precaution, often hunt up the
POISON and eat it,. l never knew q
shepherd dog to die a natural death.
They always end their days by eating
stryehnine meant for the rascally coy
otes. which often get too smart to be
caught by poison. L once knew of a
female coyote haunting the anne range
for thirteen years. She reared Il litter
OF whelps every spring during that time.
Her progeny were got rid Of n way
or another before they became very old,
but she was proof against strychnine,
and too willy to be shot or trapped. l
had often tried my be>t to get ridof the
old robber, but failed.
The principal objection to herding
sheep is the utter solitude connected
with it. l used to hear an old seaman
bewail how he had spent the best part
Of his life in the center of a blue circle;
nothing but the sky above and the
water beneath, while all around him
spread the smooth, level, unrelieved
line of the distant horizon. He com
plained that he had buried himself or
the ocean instead Of enjoying existence
among his fellows, amid the variet,
and excitement of life upon the soliC
land. If he had spent his days upor
the prairies herdlng sheep, he would
always have been in the center of
wide lonely circle, the mute sky abov'
the earth beneath, and the blue, far
away mountains beyond. If he con
