A Banker Who was Arrested Charged with
Completely In the COLON Forgery.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, December 49,
julius Schultz, the well known money
lender and real estate man, was arrested
today on bench warrant from the district
court. He was indicted by the last grand
jury for forgery for completely in the al
legged crime Of ]. Frank COLON, who was
tried short time ago for forging the name
of John T. Blaisdell to notes aggregating
over $62, 000 and whose trial resulted in the
disagreement of the jury. During the trial
of ]. Frank Colon it vas repeatedly hint
ed that no one besides the defendant was
concerned in the said forgeries. There
seems to be dark suspicion somewhere
that julius Schultz knew more than
he would tell. The charge against Schuelte
is that he stamped above the name of ]. S.
Blaisdell on the backs of the promissory
notes the words, 81 hereby waive demand,
protest and notice of nonpayment and
for value received l guarantee payment
of the within note" The effect of the
words is to cause Mr.. Blaisdell to waive
all rights and guarantee at all hazards
the payment of the notes Colon is still
uuder bail on another forgery count but
will not be tried for several months.

| BosToN, December l12.-Over 400 of the
solid business men of Boston and New Eng
land Crowded the spacious apartments of
the Hotel Vendome this evening on occa-
sion of the annual banquet of the Boston
Merchants association. So great was the
desire to see and hear the honored guest of
the association that tickets were all dispos-
ed ofat premium days ago and scores
were disappointed.
At a round table in the center sat Hon.
Jonathan o. Lane, president of
the association. At his right

association. The gentlemen who are guests
| of Henry w. Grady in New England were
also guests of the association at the ban
quet.
1t was 1O:15 o'clock before President
Lane called the attention of the gathering.
After reading a letter of regret from James
Russell Lowell, he proceeded in brief
speech to introduce Gov Ames. who well
mentioned. The welcome was extended to
the distinguished guests from New York.
The assembly greeted the mention with
loud applause.
Gov. Ames then turned to Mr.. Cleveland
and said: t'If the wicked Democrats speak
as well of me when l retire from office as
the Republicans now do of you, L shall be
abundantly satisfied"
This sentiment was also loudly cheered.
President Lane then introduced eX-
President Cleveland as one strong in his
personality, who would speak strong words
tonight which would be heard all over the
land and across the sea, in behalf of pure
politics and those reforms which are now
sweeping all parties before them.
Mr.. Cleveland was received with long
continued applause, shouts and cheers,
the entire assembly rising and waving
handkerchiefs and cheering enthusiastic
cally.
Mr.. Cleveland spoke in strong, well
mSodulated voice, and was easily heard by
all. Mr.. Cleveland aroused enthusiasm,
and his points were frequently greeted with
cries of Good" and applause.

DETROIT, December 12.-Doctor O'Reilv,
treasurer of the Irish National League, to-
day cabled 900 dollars to Mr.. Kearney,
treasurer Of the Irish League, for use of the
tenants defense fund, Doctor O'Rielly, in
an interview, said the need of funds for the
League was never more urgent. The Irish
people are entering upon the last stages
of their agitation. A desperate struggle is
on between the tenants and landlords ofIre-
land. The landlords recognize their tenure
is doomed. l shall be sorely disappointed
if the Irish in America and their SYM
pathizers desert the tenants in this last and
most heroic of their efforts to extricate
themselves from the curssd system that has
been for ages sucking the blood out of their
victims and weighing upon their spirits.
Remittances will be made as fast as the
money is received, and there are already
some signs that the league in America is
looking to this work.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
General Statement of the Condition Of the
Business of the Country.

Uenerai statement or the Condition OF the
Business of the Country.
New YORK, December 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s review of trade says:
But for one thing the business reports re.
ceived this week would be exceptionally
satisfactory. Unreasonable weather &C
counts for the depression in one or more
branches of business.
The trade in wooden goods and in heavy
boots and shoes is also retarded, and the
anthracite coal trade is even more seriously
affected.
On the other hand, there is some COM
pensation in the fact that the open weather
has enabled building operations to be car
ried on longer than usual. The holiday
trade has also commenced early and is of
unusual magnitude
The speculative markets have been
stronger, but show no unwholesome &C
tivity.
The business failures number 800 as COM
pared with total of 316las week. For the
corresponding week of last year the figures
were 303.

Singing fOrtHealth.

The time will soon come when sing.
ing will be regarded as one of the great
helps to physicians in lung diseases in
their incipient state. Almost every
branch of gymnastics is employed in
one way or another by the doctors,
but the simple and natural function
of singing has not yet received its full
need of attention. In Italy some
years ago statistics were taken which
proved that the vocal artists were es-
pecially long lived and healthy, under
normal circumstances, while of the
brass instrumentalists it was discov
cred that consumption never
claimed a victim among them.
Those who have a ten
dency toward consumption should
take easy vocal exercises, no matter
how thin and weak their voices may
seem to be. They will find a result at
times far SURPRISING any relief afforded
by medicine. Vocal practice, in
moderation, is the best system of gen.
eral gymnastics that can be imagined,
many muscles being brought into
play that would scarcely be suspected
of action in connection with so simple
a matter as tone production. There
fore, apart from all art considerations,
merely as matter of health one can
earnestly say to the healthy, "Sing,
that you may remain So" and to the
weakly, "sing, that you may become
strong"

Old Fables.

An Egyptian fable states that on one
occasion a mar had prepared a very
savory pot of herbs, which a wall will
fully broke. The unfortunate animal
was severely threshed for its interfer-
ence, but when the man went TO pick up
the fragments of his prepared delicacy he
found q venomous serpent concealed
among them.
4 very similar story, in all probability
arising out of the same fable, tells how a
favorite falcon saved n king from swal-
lowing a live serpent. His majesty had
raised a drinking vessel, presumably one
of the old style earthenware pots, to his
lips, when the faithful bird few sudden
ly down, and throwing its full weight
against the vessel, upset it. The king,
in his wrath, killed the bird, whereupon
he discovered that there had been asmall
serpent in the water, and that the mar
tyred bird had saved his life. In the
Greek there is another story of this kind.
\ peasant liberated an eagle from the
clutches of q dragon. The latter out OF
revenge poisoned some water which the
peasant was about to drink, but the
eagle showed its gratitude by upsetting
the vessel and spilling its contents.-St
