NEW YORK. April 3O-The exact amount
of money that John L. Hill, president OF
the Ninth National bank. stole from the
bank from 1877 up to March /. last. the
date of his death, is s40S 900. The Wall
street pessimsts who claim to have a
knowledge of the magnitude of HILLS spec
ulations say that his defalcation will
reach up to 5000. 900, as soon as thorough
examination of the books of the distressed
bank is made. Did Hill have an accom-
plice? That question was asked a thou.
sand times yesterday. Practical business
men pronounce Nazro and Joseph Hill, the
cashier and loan clerk, respectively, either
fools or knaves. 1t is the general opinion
that such crookedness could not exist

Beaver, the college physician and in
structor in athletics at Yale, has made q
comparative study of the users and non

The non-users of tobacco have an average
lung capacity Go per cent greater than the
users, while in beighth they ran ~ per

heavier and in breadth of chest 10 per cent
broader
With regard to the possible effect on
scholarships these statistics were given:
OF those who received Junior appoint

have not used tobacco; of those above
colloquieS. y per cent have not used
tobacco; OF all who received appointments

the entire class 10 per cent have not used
tobacco.
DIR. Sesver says that these figures &C
cord with statistics that he has kept for
the past eight years, the greater per cent
age OF gain always being on the side Of
those who do not use tobacco. The
greatest variation in the two years widest

CHICAGO. April SO The wholesale price
OF beef in this city has advanced about 3sS X
per cent within the past month. Talks
with several local meat dealers indicate
that there will be no decrease n price prior
to July l, and before that time the ten
dency may possibly be towards a still
larger increase. The cause of the advance
is said 70 be the scarcity no, only OF good
fat cattle, but general scarcity of cattle
of all grades and the advance N the price
of corn.
