Collateral and Cheap Money.

Collateral, as defined by "the Century
Dictionary" is anything of value, or
representing value, as bonds, deeds, ETC.,
pledged as security in addition to direct
obligation" An advocate of cheap
money was once going about Wall Street
complaining fthe scarcity of money, and
saying that all industrial, commercial and
financial woes came from a too small
supply Of currency: When he was told
that there was plenty of money to be
borrowed at low rates of interest, he re-
torted, "Ah, but that is only on first. class
security" Money is always obtainable
on that kind of security, and few people
are ever to be found who wish to loan it
on any other. The man who calls for
more collaterals means to call for more
frst-class securities, for upon no others
does any prudent man care to lend mon
ey. In other words, every man who has
something of value to sell, or to lend, can
get money of value in return. He can
compel no man who has money to lend
it on any other than good security. AS
the value of the collateral goes down the
rate of interest goes up, until it reaches
the prohibitive point. If loan which
has been granted on condition of interest
and principal being paid in sound or
"deer" money be repaid, under legal
authority, in ''cheap" money, the inevita-
BILE effect is always to make it more
difficult for any one to borrow on any
except the most stringent terms thereaf-
ter; that is, on the best security, and with
principal and interest payable in gold

"A Boys Mysterious Illness.

BATTLE CREEK, MICH, June 15.-
Twelve. year.old Freddie Murphy, after
suffering from a peculiar and, perhaps,
an unparalleled disease for nearly three
days, died on last Monday. Ignorant
and superstitious people ascribed his
death to leprosy, but this was not the
case. The local physicians, after being
mysti6ed by the boys fatal illness, finally
decided that it VAS the result of an ag-
gravated form of purpura hemmorhagica.
As the medical books instance but few
cases of this disease that of young Muir
ply has attracted wide attention.
Freddie, spirited full.blooded boy,
famous among his companions for his
acrobatic feats, was playing with his
chums all day long last Saturday near
his fathers store. The thermometer reg.
istered 1O2 degrees, and the boy ran into
the store every few minutes and literally
gulped down cup after cup of ice water.
He was frequently warned away from the
ice.water, but kept on drinking until late
in the afternoon.
Suddenly blood trickied from the tip
of his nose, from his gums, and from the
inside of his cheeks.
Within FIVE hours several dark spots
appeared under the skin in different parts
of his body. Physicians were called, but
were unable to understand the exact
nature of Freddie's sickness. In twenty
four hours the entire body was covered
with dark spots under the skin, some Of
them as large as ones hand. Between
the big spots were smaller ones, which
ranged in size from three cent piece to
silver dollar and all containing clottsd
blood, which soon began to ooze through
the pores of the skin.
On Sunday night the boy was mass
of blood, the flow not stopping for mo-
ment. The spots on the body at Grst had
q peculiar bluish.red appearance, turning
later on to greenish tinge. Just before
death the color Of the spots had changed
to a deep orange. a council of physi.
clans was held and every sort of theorectic
treatment exhausted. Every blood Ves-
sci in the child's body seemed to have
burst, with the skin pores spouting like
miniature springs. The Aux remained
unchecked until the boy died on Monday
morning of pure weakness. Throughout
his strange illness the boy had suffered
no pain.
The local physicians finally pronounc.
ed the case to be one of purpura hem
morrhagics. Their report of the case
will be soon forthcoming, and will cause
something of sensation in medical cir
cles. The water the boy had drunk in
such quantities apparently had caused
convulsion ofthe body's capillary tissues

ON FIRE AT SEA.
A Cunard Steamers Cargo in Flames
Excitement of Passengers.

QUEENSTOWN, June 1.-THE Cunard
line steamer Servia, Capt. Dutton,
which left New York June q, arrived
here to-day. The captain reports that
az midnight of Thursday last he sighted
the Inman line steamer City of Rich
mond. from New York June B, bound
for this port, and Liverpool. The lat
ter vessel was flying signals OF distress
and the Servia bore down to her to
offer assistance.
The captain of the City OF Richmond
reported that his cargo was on fire, ana
the Servia stood by and steamed slowly
by the side of the City of Richmond
until Brewhead was sighted.
On Tuesday night lady cabin pas
senger upon getting outof her berth had
noticed that the noticed that the floor
of the state room was very hot. She
Immediately gave the alarm TO the en-
gineers, who communicated with the
Captain, and an examination was quick
ly made This resulted in the discov-
cry that smoke was issuing from the
forehold and the smell indicated the cot
ton in the hold was on fire.
At 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning
three bales of cotton were found TO be
on fire and were taken from the hold
and thrown overheard.
The vessel proceeded for Liverpool
and appeared to be all right.
QUEENSTOWN, June 1.-THE follow
ing additional particulars of the fire on
board the City OF Richmond have been
received. The vessel carried 1000 bales
of cotton. In less than three minutes
after the lady gave the alarm all the
passengers including those in the
steerage were on deck. Most of them
hurriedly left their berths and rushed
on deck attired in little but their sleep
ing garments.
Large volumes of water were poured
down upon the burning mass, but with
small effect. Until the steam fire ami
lators were used, no diminution Of the
fire was visible. Her provisions of all
sorts were carried to the ships boats, in
view of the possible necessity Of aban-
doning the vessel.
A heavy gale was blowing and the
ship rolled heavily. During the dark
hours Of suspense the passengers were
perfectly calm, most OF them making
preparations to leave the ship.
Soon after daylight Wednesday the
captain was able to assure the people
that there was no immediate danger

The Controllers Responsibility.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE recent
failure of the keystone bank in Phila-
delphia has directed special attention to
the great responsibility that is vested
in the Comptroller of the Currency.
From his office in the Treasury Depart
ment the Comptroller has to keep eyes
on 3, 355 banks, with capital stock rang
ing from $4,000 to $5,000,0O0, and ag-
gregating more than billion dollars.
To assist him in this he has a force OF
about 30 examiners and 90 other en-
ployes. The insolvent division has had
its hands full lately between examin-
ations, liquidations and explana tons.
The bank examiners reports go there,
and the fate of tottering bank is there
decided as far as the governments de-
ciSiOn goes.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT IMPROVEMENT

The personally interested opponents
OF the electric light loan ordinance are
exerting every endeavor to retain
the hold of the present monop-
oily on the people OF Wheeling.
Their principal plea is that the
citv's financial condition is not good
enough to warrant the issue of $50, 900
Of bonds for the purpose Of building an
electric light plant to be owned and
onerated by the city, for the benefit or
the citizens. as the gas plant is operated.
They make this statement in the face Of
the fact, of which every one who knows
ANYTHING OF the subject is cOgnizant that
the financial condition of the city is bet
ter to-day than ever before. n detailed
answer to this same SpeciOuS plea in re-
gard to the city'S finances, made in re-
cent circular issued by these interested
narties was published in the REGISTER
the other day, and il is not necessary TO
reDeat it now. Another "blind" they
are attempting to put upon the people
is contained in the absurd statement
that il the city issue $4,000 Of bonds to
build an electric light plant she can do
nothing else in the way Of improve
ment. The truth is, it will hinder no
Improvement now in cOntem plation.
The city could issue three times that
amount of bonds without exceeding her
limit of Indebtedness, and the proposed
Improvement is designed to decrease the
tax upon the gas consumer, as well as to
furnish the city much better light.
We are at present paying $4,000 year
for a street light that does not light the
streets, and the same service can be
done several hundred per cent. better
for one third less cost.
No pedestrian who traverSed our
streets last night will say that they are
lighted any better than those Of the
average country village, and not 50 well
as dozens of our small towns, On
week days the store windows chiefly
furnish The light during the hours
when the streets are crowded. But on
