Filling out Deed Blanks.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
1t seems to be in order to contradict
someone through your columns, and,
when you give so much of your valuable
space to the article on Making out
Deeds,' think [ am in order with my
statement of opinion that the signature,
thereto should be Wrong, instead of
Wright; else thorough course of En-
glish classics, under the best Old Country
Professors with a literary turn for pars-
ing, analyzing, and constituting, exer-
cised, and enjoyed for many years, has
been time thrown away.
If any legal significance can be attached
tosuch a slight error, as your correspon-
dent would lead many into, [ think it be-
hooves you to ventilate the subject, and
give your own opinion of what relation
the little word "who," in the sentence
'who being at the time separate, etc.,
has to the words "did then and there
make, etc." Let Mr.. Wright parse the
word "who," alluded to, and not in fu-
ture rush into print with such a mis-
leading idea, claiming both good gram
mar and good sense, as bearing him out.
The notary is witness to the fact that
Mary or John Smith did then execute the
acknowledgements, with her own hand
subscribed, and her seal affixed in his
presence, Mary, being then separate and
apart from John. Even Mr.. Wright, or
the most quibbling lawyer, could hardly
raise the question as to whether John had
subscribed for Mary, in the face of such
testimony to the contrary.
The only legal and grammatical sense
of the certificate, under analysis, is brief
ly: "On this day, personally ap-
peared before me, notary public, Mary
F. Smith -- who, being apart from
her husband, did then and there make,
etc.
Strangely enough had two deeds in
my pocket, ready for delivery, when |
read this article on deeds; and | had in
serted carelessly my wifes name in place
of my own as Mr.. Wright advises, but such
an error can have no more legal signif-
canoe than the mention of theWOrd 'has"
where "have" would be dramatically
correct. M. M. DOBsON.

NEW YORK, Aug. 81. and w.
Seligman s. Co. announce that out of a
total of 21S, 500 shares of preferred and
common stocks of st. LOUIS and San
Francisco railroad company 204 1850
parts have been exchanged for Atchison
stock on the basis named IN the cIrcular
of May 49, The time for the surrender
and exchange of the outstanding San
Francisco shares 5000 preferred and
1924 common will expire on August %.
The strlngency of money is the principal
topic of con versation on the street. Such
high money rates at this season OF the
year are almost without precedent. The
Mckinley bill is to some extent RESPONSE
BILE for this. The sub-treasury has
absorbed nearly S., 900, 900 during the
past week, chiefly from duties on i'm
ports rushed through in anticipation of
the bill. The West is also drawing on
our funds. Exchange on New York at
Chicago, st. Louis and other points Is at
a heavy discount, indicating a movement
of funds from this center. This money
is needed at this time, principally to
move the crops. Movement of money
westward for investment in real estate
and Industrial enterprises is considera-
BILE, although not noticeably great at this
time.
The definite announcement of the
resignation of Celman from the presi-
dency of the Argentine Republic and the
appointment of a new cabinet was one of
the most important pieces of news which
Wall street has heard for long time.
Gold is reported by cable to be at 81 rs.
London already reflects the changed con-
ditions, and is buying st. Paul, Atchison
and others. The street is full of favora-
BILE talk about St. Paul. From what is
known of last years. surplus and this

for the last six months OF the year good
dividend on common stock is expected.
Our morning market was slightly better
than yesterday mornings figures. New
England was strong feature. new
pool has been formed. Colorado coal was
strong and somewhat active. A per-
sistent effort was made TO bid up all
Chesapeake and Ohio securities. Silver
bullion was noticeably stronger. Sugar
trust certificates were weaker. None of
this movement had special significance.
The gloomy report about the corn crop
came from the Kansas state board OF ag-

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The president
is in quandary about the reciprocity
matter, and does not know whether to
send a message TO congress on the sub
ject or not. Those who endeayored to
make him side against Mr.. Blaine now
desire him to keep silent. They state
that any reciprocity message will
discredit the Mckinley bill and
will commit the president to Blaine
plan. If the reciprocity feature proved
unsuccessful, then the president must
necessarily shoulder the responsibility
1t is also urged that if he sends a message
the Blaine letters and the former will be
read by the Democrats on the stump
for the embarrassment of Repub-
lican campaigners who defend the
Mckinley bill. MIR. Blaine's adver-
saries will do everything in their power
TO undo the arrangements made at Cape
May. The president ia again betw cen
the devil and the deep sea.
THE PAN-AMERICAN BUREAU
of information has been established with
MIR. william f. Curtis, correspondent of
the Chicago Herald, as chief. The OBJ
ject of this new bureau is to disseminate
information concerning our sister re-
publics. Congress has appropriated
$50, GOO for the organization of the
bureau, aud the different countries in
terested will be assessed for their share
on the basis of population.
TEXAS INDEMNITY CLAIM.
1t will be remem cred that last session
through the efforts of Col. Sayers 1927,
600 was secured for Texas to indemnify
her for the Indian depreciation claims
committed within or on her borders.
This year Col. Sayers has succeeded in
securing the remaining amount due the
state, and Sl4S,6l5 will be paid
Texas on the passage of the
clause by the senate. The
bill passed the house this morning. Mr..
Sayres has had the matt r in charge, an :
has facilitated the passage OF the claim
through the war and treasury depart
mepts, as well as through the house.
This completes the entire allowance to
Texas as an indemnity for her expenses
III the defense of the frontier against In
dams and MeXicans since the war. There
is another claim due Texas upon the
same account, but for depreciation be-
fore the war. Mr.. Sayres proposes to
undertake the passage of a bill to pay
| these ants-bellum claims.
TEXAS NOTES.
Mr.. Sayers is on the conference COM
mlttee on the suudry civil bill. This bill
| includes the appropriation of $50 900 for
| the Fort Worth and $50 900 for the Paris
| public buildings.

Relief for Oklahoma.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The president
to-day sent to congress letter from
Governor Steele of Oklahoma represent
ing that great distress prevails among
residents of the territory, and requesting
that the attention of congress be
called to the fact. The president
in transmitting the letter says:
'Information re eived by me from
other sources leads me to believe Gov
ernor Steele is altogether right In his i'm
preston. There will be. unless relief is
afforded, either by public appropriation
or organized individual effort, wide

Consideration of the Lottery Bill.


Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Goaded into
activity by the persistent agitation of the
subject by the newspapers, friends of the
anti-lottery bill in the house have united
in petition TO the committee on rules
that day be appointed for copsideration
of the bill reported from the postoffice
committee the other day. Signatures to
the petition already number about one
quarter of the members of the house.
Agitators assert if they can once get the
bill before the house they can pass it. In
the senate 1t is said that there are enough
senators IN favor of the bill to pass it if
il comes from the house. The senate
would probably never have moved in the
matter spontaneously, however. The
lottery lobby say they have their little
list ready, and propose to spot every man
who votes for the bill. If it passes they
say they will not only wage war on those
men, but embrace every opportunity
offered by the first application of the law
TO test the constitutional question in
