John d. Rockefeller is All Right.

John D. Rockefeller, the Standard OIL
magnate, whose fortune is so large that he
IS popularity supposed to have more mill
ions that he himself can estimate accu-
rately, Will soon return to New York fo-
the winter. His health is entirely restored
and he weighs about $50 pounds When he
went to his home, outside of Cleveland,
Ohio, IN the spring, he was very i'll. He
was reduced o 40 pounds, and his family
and physicians were greatly troubled about
him. His physicians ordered him to give
up all business cares and take perfect rest.
Then they ordered exercise and driving,
he began to work on his farm, and it agreed
with him. Insomnia ana dyspepsia soon
disappeared, and in a short time he began
to saw wood by the hour, follow the pillow
and spade the garden the same as his hired
men de arose early and went to bed early
and to-day he Is as well as ever He spent
the summer dressed as 4 farmer, and visit
ors to the place could not tell master from

COMPTROLLER LACEY,
Rather Checkered Report on the National
Banks.


Banks.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The report of
Hon. E. S. Lacey, comptroller of the
currency, gives full information in re-
lation to the organization, supervision
and liquidation of national banks dur
ing the year ended October 81. It
shows that 1913 new associations were
organized, possessing an aggregate cap
ital of $40, 700, 600, thus exhibiting a
growth largely in excess of the annual
average for past years. Forty-one as
sociations went into voluntary liquida-
ton and twenty-five became insolvent,
leaving as a net gain 197 banks, with
capital of S12, 553, 900. The number of
banks in operation October 81 was s.
694, having a capital stock of 1854, 1884,
S65; bonds deposited to secure circula-
ton, S15i, 113. $50; bank notes outstand-
ing, Sill, 36S, GAS, including S35, 1901
represented by lawful money deposited
for their redemption. The gross circu-
lation, including notes of gold banks
and those of failed and liquidating as
sociations, has decreased S7,571. Os5,
while that secured by pledge of bonds
has increased Sll, 100, lOl.
The last report of condition, exhibits
the condition of the banks, September
%. At that date 3,677 associations re-
ported an aggregate capital of S677,-
APO, $50; surplus 1927, $40, iS6 and I'M
divided profits SOB. 9s4,674 Gross de-
posts including amounts due TO banks
are stated at 81, O39, $780, 1Ss and loans
and discounts at 81, $50, 354, 239 an in
crease in both items over any previous
date. These banks held Sl74, 9O7, $50 in
United States bonds of which $3.50, $780,
600 were TO secure circulating notes:
also s1S3, SIS, 076 in specie, S97. sos in
legal tender notes md SIS, 100, 600 in
United States certificates of deposit
OF the new associations ninety-nine are
located west of the Mississippi river
and fifty-nine in the southern states
The increase is well distributed, how
ever, new banks having been organized
in forty-one states.
In number of failures the present ex-
ceeds any previous year. More than
one-half of the number of the banks
which became insolvent during the
period covered by the report were To-
Gated in the western states Six banks
which were closed during the year
were restored by the voluntary contri-
button of shareholders These banks
possessed 81 225, 900 in capital and had
liabilities amounting to So, $50, 800. The
affairs of 1O2 insolvent banks have been
finally closed at an average expense of
9.2S per centum, with an average divi.
dend to creditors of IA Il per centum.
Attention is called TO the necessity for
legislation more clearly defining the
duties of directors; also the need of
some further restriction upon the ac-
commodations which may be lawfully
afforded to officers and directors by
way of loans and discounts
The domestic exchange drawn by na-
tional banks for the year ended June
90. 1891, is stated at Sl2, 7s2, PIP, 435, an
increase over the preceding year of
over IL per centum-

STARVING RUSSIA.
Awful News From the Cars DomIniOns-
Thirty Millions In a Star wing Condition
Fifteen Thousand Deaths In One Night

Awful News From the Cars DomlnIOns-
Thirty Millions I'm a Starving Condition
Fifteen Thousand Deaths In One Night
PARIS, Dec "A diplomatic commu-
nication from Russia which have seen
human beings are literally dying of
hunger. In some of the Russian prov
inces bordering on the Volga the people
are keeping themselves alive by eating
the bark of trees This awful state of
things is aggravated by the laundering
method of the Russian administration.
For instance, a few weeks before the
issue of the ukase absolutely forbidding
the expectation of cereals the railway
companies were ordered to allow none
of their cars to be used for the trans
port of this grain The companies i'm
proving on this order stopped the trans
port on corn. Two million sacks of
corn were actually rotting in the prov
ince of Odessa, while few miles away
men and women were starving-and all
this through the criminal stupidity of
the officials The distribution of the
so. OOO, 600 rubles ordered by the emper-
or was effected In the same way. In
the province of Jaroslaw money was
given to the peasants for drink. Next
morning Is, 600 men and women were
found dead on the highways.
As a natural result of all these
horrors the general misery has driven
the people to overt acts of brigandage.
1t is dangerous to walk through some
districts after dark, and the trades
people are obliged to barricade their
doors as if they were in besieged
city. Thefts and burglaries are of
everyday occurrences in Odessa and
other towns In certain cases when
people have refused aims to beggars
they have been massacred in the
streets The car is much en-
cerned by the state of affairs which he
saw during his journey to Livadia, and
greatly incelsed with his ministers,
whom he accuses of having concealed
the truth from him On the other hand,
the ministers feel bitter toward France,
whom they accuse of having failed to
take up the recent loan with the ex-
pected amount of enthusiasm
