His wife is i'll enough to be confined to

That old Bourbon, the London Sat
urday Review, thus protests against a
new spelling OF the name of a classical
author: For men of letters who are
scholars and scholars who are men of
letters there is no such vocable as
'Vergir in the world, nor ever will be-
'Vergilius' in Latin, if you like (you
needn't. but if you like. But Virgil
in English, absolutely, pcremptorily,
without stay of judgment, without
leave to appeal"
There is just faint possibility that
babies may supersede as fashionable
pets the pampered lap-dog. The duchess
Of Portland has taken an odd and, per.
haps. unaccountable fancy to be very
proud OF her baby daughter and to avail
herself OF every opportunity of having
the little woman with her. When the
duchess opened the great Kensington
bazar recently baby Lady Victoria was
proudly displayed to the public in her
mothers arms. Whatever is English
goes" and why not this?

when. as Mrs. Nining. she met and
married the actor Davenport. Her
daughter Fannie has had some claim
to good looks, but it appears to have
been an instance of mother prettier
than pretty daughter" All of her
five daughters acquired regulations on
the stage. and her two sons have made
names for themselves in their profess

The yield OF wheat is the best for
many years, some farms averaging
as high as twenty five bushels to the
acre. The new wheat is coming in
to the market freely, which would
indicate that the farmers Of this sec

generally regard the secret circular
report sent out from Chicago to the

had asked the members of the order
to hold their wheat for III rs Il bu

CONDITION OF THE BANKS.
COMPTROLLER LACEY REPORTS UPON
THEIR BUSINESS,

Over Two Billion of Dollars on Deposit
in These Institutions - Legislation
Necessary to Clearly Define the Duties
of the Directors.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2.-The forthcoming
report of Hon. E. S. Lacey, Comptroller Of
the Currency, gives full information in re-
iation to the organization, supervision and
liquidation of national banks during the
year ended October 81, 1891. 1t shows that
during this period 1913 new associations were
organized possessing an aggregate capital
of 500, zoo, 900. During the same period Al
associations went into voluntary iquida-
tion and 25 became insolvent
The number of banks in operation Octo-
ber 81, 1891, was 1864, having capital
stock of 1854. 755, ,S65; bonds deposited to &C.
cure circulation, S152, 113, $50; bank notes
outstanding, S171 1868, ,94S, including $685.
4S0, 721, represented by lawful money de-
posted for the redemption. Gross deposits.
including amounts due to banks are stated
at s.. 039, $50, 1888, and loans and discounts at
81 ,9S9, 354 2S9, an increase in both items
over any previous date. These banks held
STA. .907, $50 in United States bonds, of
which S150, ,035, 500 were to secure circulat-
ing notes; also S1S3, 515, ,076 in specie, S97,-
olo.oUo III Iegdl UenOer nOtes anu S10, ZU,UUU
in United States certificates of deposit.
Attention is called to the necessity for
legislation more clearly defining the duties
of directors; also to the need of further re-
strlction upon the accommodations which
may be lawfully afforded to officers and
directors by way of loans and discounts.
The Comptroller discussed the causes of the
monetary stringency of 1890. The failure
of 102 banks is looked upon as the result of
the collapse of the speculative spirit
which has been generally prevalent for the
past five years, greatly aggravated by the
monetary stringencies experienced by most
of the nations with which we sustain COM
mercial relations

WORKED SEVERAL STORES.

Jack O'Brien Arrested for Obtaining Goods
Under False Pretenses
Grant Heron and John, alias Jack,
O'Brien, were arrested last evening on a
charge of obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses. After being arrested OBrien ex-
onerated Heron from blame, but he will be
held as witness 1t is alleged that O'BrIen
has been in the habit of ordering goods by
telephone from PROMINENT downtown
stores, having the goods sent to other stores
where one or the other of the men would go
and get them. George X. Stevenson, the
Liberty street grocer, and George Fleming,
the Market street druggist, are the only
sufferers heard of to date, but others are ex-
pected to report to-day.
Superintendent Weir had been on the
lookout for the men and yesterday when
Stevenson notified him that a basket of
goods had been telephoned for to be deliv-
cred at Demmler Bros, on Smitbfeld street,
the Superintendent sent Inspector Nickel
vey to arrest whoever came for the basket.
The order was given in the name of the Ro-
salia Founding Asylum and were to be
charged to Charles Donnelly. Soon after
ward Grant Heron called for the
basket. He was arrested and said
OBrien had asked him to call for the bas-
ket. O'Brien was waiting in DIR. Wallace's
office for the basket and he was arrested
too. At police headquarters he acknowl-
edged the whole story to Superintendent
Weir: He had worked three orders, one
on Fleming for lot of whisky and other
articles, and two on Stevenson for grocer
les, Heron was innocent of how the goods
were obtained.
O'Brien is former politician of the First
ward and we'll known. Heron has been ar
rested several times for running speak
easies.

There Was Little Dynamite in Stock.
In the main building, which is now q
complete wreck, the number usually en-
ployed was from to r. It is said tonight
that the quantity of dynamite in this build
ing could not have been very large, as much
of the explosive was taken away few days
ago. The works have been there some five
or six years, and for some months past an
effort has been made by those who have
houses near by to have them removed.
The cases have been a number of times in
court, but the dynamite people have fought
back, claiming that at least some of the
houses have been built there since the
works we're established. There is much
speculation in Haverstraw tonight as to
the cause and ultimate effect of the explo-
sion, but no conclusion can vet be arrived
at. A sense of fear is now felt by these
citizens of Haverstraw, and there is no
doubt that it will develop into some form
of opposition to the location of the dyna-
mite works
