THE FEELING AT NEWARK.
Runs Standing of Presi-
dent DOdd's Concern.

ueni DOuu OOuC6Ins
NEWARK, May 1.-THE run on the
Howard Savings and Dime Savings Bank,
which began yesterday, in consequence
of the Newark Savings Banks failure,
continued to-day. The bank manag gers
are cool, and convinced that the run is
only temporary. They say that they are
ready to pay dollar for dollar as fast as i t
is wanted.
Receiver Wilkinson, of the Newark
Savings Bank, went to New York to-
day to collect loans which are
payable, when the statement of the banks
affairs to the Chancellor will be made.
President Dodd was there all day yester-
day and takes things coOlly. He acknowl-
edges this morning that SS00,000 of the
banks money was in cash in the hands of
Fisk & Hatch, who paid interest on the
sum, pending, he says, its permanent iu-
vestment. The receiver has made no sales
of any securities and will await the orders
of the Chancellor after submitting his
statement.

ARE USELESS LIVES sACRED2

The Startling Propositions Stated Be-
fore a Company of Lawyers and Doc
tors.
A roomful of interested, but in some
cases rather startled lawyers and doctors,
the members of the Medical Jurisprudence
Society, says the Philadelphia Times of
the 14th inst, listened last night in the
Mutter Museum of the College of Physi-
clans to a paper read by DR.. Henry Left
man on the subject of Euthanasia, OF the
propriety of putting certain useless in
dividuals comfortably out of the way.
DIR. Lehman is the young chemical expert
whose testimony forged the chief link in
the chain of DIR. GOersen's conviction.
The first striking thought which the
lecturer put forward was: 1--WE hold no.
tiOns as to the sacredness of human life
for the correctness of which, as far as l
can make out, we can have no absolute
demonstration" The lecturer then pro-
ceeded to show what varying standard
different climes and ages brought to the
measurement of that sacredness, and
called attention to the fact that to Brah-
min other forms of animal life were as
sacred as that of man. Laying down the
evolutionary principle that the better de-
YelOpment of animals was accomplished
by the selection OF the best for propaga-
tiOn, DR.. Lehman said:
F'The evolution of humanity to a higher
form cannot be accomplished without
some method of preserving and prOpagat-
ing the best of the species. Had we, as
human beings with all our presentpowers,
been placed on this world in association
with race as much above us in capacity
and power as we are above the lower ami
mails, a system of selection would have
been applied which in a few hundred gen.
erations would have produced a much
better humanity
Having laid these foundations, the lee
turer began to ask some pertinent ques-
tions for the society to answer afterwards
in debate. These were as to what extent
the law might control life sin cases where
to the certainty of fatal disease is added
intense physical misery" also in the cases
of the birth of mOhstrOsities and idiots.
When the debate came on DR.. Morton
confessed the inability Of the profession to
fix the certainty of fatal disease, and
Judge Ashman somewhat favored, on
scientific and merciful grounds, the de-
struction of idiot children. DR.. Lehman
was inclined to commend the tabled action
of Napoleon |. in killing the wounded on
the retreat from Moscow, and called to
mind the uncensured conduct of the Eng
lish correspondent who wrote to his paper
of his having emptied his revolver into
mutilated Russian on a Bulgarian battle
field.
In summing up. DIR. Lehman said that
one of the chief points to be discussed
was that, ''if the law allowed human life
to be taken for moral, then why not for
bodily or mental defects!' A debate fol-
lowed the paper, which was taken part in
by DR.. Morton, DIR. John II. Packard, DIR.
Reese, George W. Biddle, and others.

OIL Stin Low-Excitement Subsiding-
No Failures

OIL Still LOw-EXcttement Subsiding-
No Failures.
PITTSBURGH, May 1.-THE Petroleum
Exchange assumed something of its
wOnted appearance this morning. The
excitement has subsided to a great de-
gree. A better feeling prevailed and
there was a marked falling off in the lobby
attendance. The market opened strong
at SOI, and advanced to 81, when the
weakness of the New York stock market
caused a reaction and prices slowly de-
clined to 7719, but rallied to rs. At noon
sales were made at 775s. NO failures are
reported, all the sheets passing the clear
ing-house.

600 in legal tender notes to the Assistant
Treasury at New York for use in case of
necessity. The Comptroller of the Cur
rency has received additional assurances
from the bank examiner at New York of
a better condition of the money market,
and the prediction is made that the mar
ket is about to resume its normal cOndi-
ton. The Comptroller of the Currency
was this afternoon notified by his officers
in New York that the banks there con-
tinue all right and that everything is
quiet. The redemption of called bonds in
New York to-day amounted to only $685.

FOLGER CRITICISED.
The announcement that the Secretary
Of the Treasury had 0irtually decided
to authorize the purchase of a per
cent. bonds in open market with
the intention of relieving the New
York money market, was, received with
marked dIsapproval by certain prominent
Democratic Congressman. Representa-
tive Bland expressed the opinion that
the proposed action would be ille-
gal in advance of the passage Of Mr.
Dingley's bill, which was intended to
clOthe the Secretary with the necessary
authority To make such purchases
such law to be necessary, and has been
trying for some time to secure its ad0p-
tiOn. He thought that the Secretary
should take up the 3 per cent. bonds now
due, and that he had been derelict in his
duties in not doing so before this late days !.
Representative Culborson a mamhar of
the Judiciary Committee, concurred in
Mr.. Bland's opinion as to the illegalitY of
Secretary FOlger's proposition. Senator
Beck, however, failed to recall any pro-
vision of the law to restrain the Secretary
from such action.
English Rushing for American Stocks.
LONDON, May 17.-There is a great rush
to-day to buy American stocks. Bank
ers are calling to New York offering to
ship gold on security of government
bonds.
The Daily NeloS says: ''The American
Treasury, which is the ultimate holder of
the American reserve, is well supplied
with cash. This circumstance ought to
check panic and limit the crisis. All
accounts show that millions of English
money are being thrown into American
stock. During the last three days incon-
ceivably large purchases have been made
through brokers. Capitalists have bought
great blocks of American stocks. while
innumerable investors have made limited
purchases. Other securities are depressed
because so many people have been anx-
iOus to realize ON them IN order to eX-
change their investments for American
stocks.
The Times says that it will be idle for
American railway boards to expect to get
capital from Europe in the future as
easily as in the past, unless it be shown
that they mean to turn over a new leaf
and manage their properties on sound
principles.

Changes in Australia.
From the New York Mail and Eypress


The decision in favor of the confed-
Grafton of the Australian provinces
will result in important changes in
the islands of the South Sea, ard the
fact that Engl1shmen find it conven-
lent to pass through the United States
in going to Australia is sufficient to
remind Americans that whatever af-
fects the welfare of the Australian
colonies ought to possess especial in
terest for the people of the United
States. Australia's population is now
between 3,000,0 900 and 1900, 1000, and
increasing at the rate of 1000, 900
every five years, while the increase of
imports during 1882 S54, ,095.0 and
the increase of exports $11, ,O19, ,675,
the aggregate foreign trade of the year
being 1857, 1O5, ,699. Our commercial
relations with Australia ought to
rapidly increase in Importance, and
yet Sir Henry Parkes has occasion,
whenever he visits New York, to re-
gret the ignorance of Americans as to
Australian affairs, many not even
knowing that the great island is divid-
ed into six provinces. Our enterpris-
vantage of every circumstance which
can be made to aid in the enlargement
of our commerce with Australia, a
country whose land surface is alnost
exactly equal to that of the United
States, and whose next century of
progress may be almost as wonderful
as the past century of our own repub-
lie.
The confederation of the Australian
provinces will place them under a
system of government almost precise
ly like that of the provinces of Can
ada, and Sir Anthony Musgrave, gov,
leader of the movement for confed-
Grafton, believes that the change will
greatly promote the welfare of all tbe
colonies. So confident was he from
the first that England would sanction
the change that he urged the express
sion of desire to have the island of
New Guinea included ln the coRfed-
Grafton, hoping that the benefits of
the new system may soon be extended
to the entire South Sea population.
Half a century ago the commerce Of
England was no greater than that Of
Australia at the present time, and the
possibility that hall century hence
the commerce Of Australia may be as
great as that of England at the pres
ent time ought to excite the keenest
interest as to Australian affairs
among the people of the United
States, a country whose position
ought to give her the first place ia
the foreign trade of the South Sea.

JanauSchek'S DiamO
Syracuse Herald


Nine. Janauschek, the tragedienne,
may have loved her husband, T. L.
Pilot, but she also has strong affec-
ton for her diamonds, as an expert
ence she had in Australia illustrates.
Mr.. Pilot was acting as her manager,
and, being arrested for breach of con-
tract, was threatened with imprison-
ment in default of a satisfactory bail
bond. Janauschek appealed to the
American consul at Sidney to become
her husbands surety. This he cheer
fully agreed to do if she would secure
him against loss. After much areu-
ment and diuydallying, she deposited
her diamonds with the consul, he
signed PILOTS bond and the husband
manager was free man. Having fin
lshed her Australian tour, Janauscheck j
prepared to return to England. She
went to her friend, the American con-
sui, and asked for her diamonds.
''You seem to forget, madam" expos
tulated that dignitary, "that I hold
those diamonds as security for my ap-
pearance upon your husbands bond.
If give up the diamonds shall with
draw my name from the bond" 81
cannot help that" replied Janau-
schek, resolutely, ''I must be in
England on such date. I have
engaged passage by to-morrow's
steamer, and [ must take the dia-
monds with me, husband or no hus-
band" Finding her inexorable, the
consul gave up the diamonds, and
then, true to his threat, went before
the proper authorities and formally
withdrew from PILOTS bond. The
result was that Mime. sJanauschek
sailed for England next day. accom-
panied by her beloved jewels, while
her husband, the helpless Pilot, was
detained in Australia and there re-
manned a prisoner for a period of
three months. This arrangement,
whatever it's disagreeable features,
had one positive advantage. Jauau-
schek knew where both her damon is
and husband were.

Charcoal as Food for Live Stock.

Charcoal has recently been recon-
mended as an addition to the food of
animals, as it increases their power of
accumulating fat, and promises the
rapid and healthy production of flesh.
This was recently proved by taking the
live weights of two lots Of sheep, and
simply separating them by an ordin-
airy net; the artificial food, corn and
cake, being carefully weighed out to
each lot alike daily, one pint of char
coal being added to one lot only. When
re-weighed, prior to selling to the butch
er, the increase in weight was ia favor
of charcoal by 1926 per cent. Santa
ton causes easy and complete diges-
ton; and assimilation only can ac-
count for these results, which char
coal alone can accomplish. The char
coal should be given mixed with the
food, except in urgent cases, when
it may be mixed in water or thin
cruel, and given as a drench. The
dose is one pint for every twenty
five head of sheap or lambs, one
quarter pint for fui1-grown cattle 8
horses, or pigs, half the quantity for
young cattle, and two teaspoonfuls
for young calves, daily, when
suffering from disease, or
in i'll condition. To keep in good
health, and fortify against diseases,
the dose should be given two or three
times per week, according to the class
of food they are having, and the state
of the atmosphere. The best plan is
to wet quantity of bran, pollard
malt-combings); mix the charcoal
among it, and thea among the food
you give them. For rapid and healthy
fattening of cattle, it should be used
daily among their food. Charcoal for
internal and medicinal purposes must
be pure vegetable charcoal, free from
all irritating and injurious foreign
matter. The charcoal when coming
into the users possession must be
kept perfectly dry, and free from any
ill-smelling surroundings, such as the
vapors of a stable, or artificial ma
nures, etc., or it will absorb them,
and thus become septic, and of no
medical value. 1t is better kept in a
closed bin, Or tin canister with a tight
cover.-Popatld1' Science NeaUs.

Good Horses Always in Demand.

4 contemporary we'll remarks that
good horses are always salable at re-
munerative prices. The demand for
such during the past few years has
been constantly increasing, and bids
fair to be active for some time to come.
All the really good horses are salabie
at high prices, and tits safe to say that
twice as many as are available would
find a ready market. There are plenty
of scrub horses for sale, with little or
no demand for such. The demand for
that stock seems to become less and
less every year, and doubtless. were
the supply of good horses ample the
demand for scrubs would cease to ex-
ist. The country is full of horses.
The danger is that the country will be
so completely drained of good horses
that there will be a scarcity of
good stock to breed from. Breeders
should guard against this danger. A
good mare for breeding is worth just
as much for that purpose as for any
other use. If mare will sell for
$500 she is none too valuable to breed
from. Such an animal may raise colts
that will sell for $500 each, and it
costs no more to raise $500 colt than
a 5000 one. while the profits are far
greater. The greater the demand for
good horses, and the higher the prices
the more earnest should breeders be to
secure the best stock to breed from.
The present demand for horses instead
of draining the country of good
breeding stock should fill it up with
the best brood naares.-Tribu11e and
