has come early this year, partly because
there is enough old cheese, partly be-
cause of the general earliness of the

The Block System.

The block system is soon to come in
to general use over all the lines of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway.
1t is device for lessening the liability
to accidents by trains following one an
other up too closely. The road is di-
vided off into sections or blocks, and
at each end of the block is placed sig
nal light which may be made to show
the Changer" or "all right" Suppose
one end of the block to be in GAINESVILLE
and the other end in Milton. When a.
train leaves GAINESVILLE for Milton the.
signal at GAINESVILLE is made to read
danger" and SO remains until the
train reaches Milton, when it is tele-,
graphed back to GAINESVILLE and the sig
nal changed to call right" again. This
prevents two trains ever being on the
same block at the same time. This
system has been in use by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway between
Milwaukee and Brookfield Junction.
and has proved very satisfactory. The,
same system is also in use on the Penn

The regular meeting Of the High School

Its great product is wool. and you have a
tariff on that"
HIGH AID vALoREM DUTIES.
Delegate Jacinto CastelIanos, of Saliva
dor, said: "Yes, we have tariff duty.
We admit all kinds of machinery free of
duty, but everything else that we import we
charge a duty on, averaging about 30 per
cent ad valorem. Our imports consist
mainly of agricultural machinery, coffee
making machinery, printing presses,
petroleum-which we get in boxes OF 20
gallon cans and -four. The latter we get
from California, and is our largest import.
The machinery we obtain from New York,
and which reaches us from that port by way
of Colon, thence by railroad to Panama and
the Pacific Mail Steamship Line. The
annual value of imports is between 81 7,000,-
900 and s., 600. 900. This is about the extent
of our import trade with the United States,
and we pay you cash for everything we buy
from YOU From England, France and
Germany we import cloth, silk, cotton goods
and woolens, on six months credit or longer.
In exchange for these we export fruit,
sugar, cofee, indigo, cocoa and other pro-
duce, taking payment in imports or In SIX
month bills. The annual value of our e1-
ports is about So,UUU,UUU.
"We experience difficulty at present in
our foreign trade respecting the difference
in the rate of exchange. 1 can assure you
that we are very anxious and deslrous OF SO
accommodating the tariff as to lead to an In
creased trade with your country, IN the ex-
pectation of course that you will SO arrange
your import duties where we are concerned
as to accommodate our trade. Yours is a
wonderful city. The most business-hke and
full of large enterprises that that we have
had the pleasure OF seeing.
LINGUIsT RoEDER ON PTTTsBURG.
Philip G. Roeder related some experiences
of the commercial standing of the people of
Colombia. He said:
"Mr. E. n. P. Smith, the Consul at
Carthagena, told me on one occasion that
during a 16 years residence in the country,
there had been to his knowledge but one
business failure. The traders get q very
long credit from the foreign houses,
which place the greatest reliance
on the integrity and business-like
qualities of the merchants. OF all the
places your visitors have seen they are the
most taken with Pittsburg. They greatly
appreciated the magnitude of Chicago, but
were altogether unprepared for the huge
enterprises, extensive mills, and the general
capacity of this city and its facilities for
trade.
''They don't seem to know quite what to
make of the natural gas, but fully under
stand what an important factor it is in the
industrial world. They seem to be better
pleased with their reception here and what
they have seen than anywhere else along
their route"

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY.

An Old Game Tried in the West End
Cashier Wilson Knew His Businsss-
Superintendent 0'Marn Says He Knows
Them.
What was apparently an attempt to rob
the West End Savings Bank was made yes
terday about noon. Thursday afternoon .
man entered the bank, No. 74S West Carson
street, and glanced around in q rather sus-
picious MANNER. A number of people were
in the bank at the time, and after taking q
good look about, the man approached
Cashier W. II. Wilson. He asked to have
a $40 bill changed. His request was granted
and he left the place.
Yesterday at noon the same man entered
the bank. Cashier Wilson was alone. The
stranger said that there was a man in
buggy outside who had asked him to tell
the cashier that he wanted to see him. Mr..
Wilson replied that he was alone in the
bank and did not wish to go out. The man
answered that the person outside seemed
anxious to see him, and it would not take
minute. Mr.. Wilson came from behind the
desk and the stranger rendered the use of
his umbrella, saying that it was raining,
and be would wait for him. Mr. Wilson
suspected a game and declined to 60 out,
stating that he could not leave the bank.
The man then went out and entered the
buggy, which was standing in front of the
bank, and drove off with Its other occupant.
As soon as they had gone Mr.. Wilson
notified the police authorities, giving de-
scription of the men. Assistant Superin-
tendent O'Mara said tnat from the deserip-
tion of the men he thought he knew them.
They are old crooks and their game Is an old
one. As soon as the cashier started out the
man inside would sneak all the available
cash, and the two would drive off before an
alarm could be given. As the men are in
town Mr.. O'Mara considered it would be
good thing for business men and bankers to
be on the lookout for them.

NTcMaster's Case Settled for COnsidera.

"McMaster's case is settled" said ex-
President Sorg Of the defunct Farmers and
Mechanics Bank of the Southside, last
night, when asked about the truth Of the
rumor to that effect.
Some time ago report gained circulation
that the assignees had effected settlement
with Assistant Cashier McMasterS, who was
under $4,000 bail for completely in the
banks defalcation, for a consideration of
$10,0 900. The bank officials denied that there
was any truth in the statement. The ma
jority Of them said they did not know that
q settlement was contemplated.
The charges made against Mr.. McMasters
before Alderman Schaefer, have been with
drawn, howeverSand according to Mr.. Sorg.
the depositors will be better of. He said:
"The case is settled in manner that am
sure will give entire satisfaction to the de-
positors. We came to the conclusion that
the more money we could produce for the
depositors the better they would be salts
fed, and it was with this idea in view that
we made the settlement"
Mr.. Sorg would not state how much Mr..
McMasters had paid to have the charges
Withdrawn, but it is understood that the
amount is $4,000, about $500 of which
will 60 to the depositors.
Auditor McClung has given notice that
his report on the examination of the banks
accounts has been completed and will be
presented to the court on next Tuesday. 1t
is expected that ten days will then be given
to the persons interested to file objections,
and if none are filed the report will then be
approved. Auditor McClung has figured
that 26 2-5 per cent of the entire deposit will
be distributed on the first distribution,
which will take place November %. Then
the assignees have on hand about 500, 900 or
$25, 900 to pay to the auditor, from which to
make the second distribution. Whether
this includes the money derived from the
settlement of Mr.. McMasters' case, Mr..
Sorg refused to state.
