Another Old Certificate of Deposit.

Ed. Regtster-In your last issue is an
account of an old certificate of Boat
mems Bank, showing how interest will
accumulate with time. The following
is the best example of it I have ever
seen. The interest was compounded
annually. Item is from local paper of
Worcester county, Mass, in 1888:
The late John May has left an ex-
ample worthy of imitation. In 1882
his grandfather deposited $25.00 in
the Worcester Institute for Savings
Mr.. May did not take it out as soon as
he was old enough to realize he had it,
but left it to accumulate, and the first
money he got to spare was $1,000 which
he added to the gift of his grandfather
The money is in that bank now, and
there are but three bank books as old
as that one held by Mr.. May. The APP
praisers of his estate learn that the lit
tie sum of $35. 90, the original sum be-
ing $500, now amounts to the hand
some little fortune of $S17.O0. Boys,
put $500 into some Savings Institu-
ton, and when you are an old man you
will have something you can depend on
for support.
This may show what is the matter
with the man who puts a deed of trust
on his farm and then spends his days
in hard work to pay interest on the
debt. Yours, &C.,
EDWIN MAY.

THERE was a quite a heavy fall of
snow in Mobile. Ala, last Thursday
week, an event of great rarity and Of
equally great interest to the inhabi-
tants. 1t was the first snow in five
years, and the fifth in seventy years.
About half an inch of snow fell, and the
landscape had an appearance which the
Mobile people are mainly familiar with
only in pictures. The last snow storm
there was in 1886, when three-quarters
of an inch fell. On Dec. 20, 1876, 81
inches of snow fell, the heaviest snow
storm ever known there. The snow
storm previous to that was in January,
1851, and the one before that on Feb.
16, 1928, when the mercury got down
to degrees above zero, and there was
good sleighing in the streets of Mobile.
There have been three sleet or hail
storms in addition to the wintry vista
lions mentioned above.

Who Pays the Tariff?

THE article below, taken from the
Rural NeeU Yorker, forcibly answers a
question sometimes asked by Protec-
tionists: IF an article is sold in the
home market for less than the tariff
duty on it, how can that duty be a tax
on the consumer?n In the instance
given below, the value of the commodity
is $261O; the duty is $500. The home
manufacturer. may charge only, say,
$4,000 forit. That is $4,000 less than the
duty; yet the consumer pays tax to him
equal to the difference between the free
trade price of $2610 and the home mark
ct price of $35O0--or $500: equal to near
ly 81 per cent. Here is the object les
son referred to:
One of the foremost claims of the
Protectionist is that the foreign ship
per pays the duties. If this is true,
isn't it strange that when famine
threatens any country, one OF the first
means of relief thought of should be a
elimination or removal of import duties
on food stutfs? Again, the report of
the Treasury Department for the fiscal
year 1890 shows that 6.1O0 gallons of
castor oil were imported, valued at
$2,61 The duties were S., $50. Now,
if the foreign shipper paid the duty, is
it not certain that he not only made us
a present of the oil, but gave us besides
$2.61 to get rid of it? In 1890 inn
ports brought into the United States
664, 1858 gallons of spirits distilled from
grain. valued at $456, 121 the duties on
which were $1,329, 1867. Who paid
these duties? If the importers, they
lost not only the liquor. but 1878, 246
besides. These are, CT course. extreme
cases. but the truth or fallacy of a
proposition is generally more fOrcibly
shown by taking extreme cases. viii
some learned ..prOtectiOnist' unravel
this conundrum relating TO physic and
stimulants.
Since the above was put in type, we
have been investigating the castor oil
question. We find, by reference to
Meyer Bros. reports for 1890, that the
best quality of cold-p"essed castor Oil
sold, at Wholesale, for 81. IA per gallon,
when purchased by the barrel. The
price of the foreign oil, same quality
was 424 cents, but with the 200 per
cent. tariff added, its cost to the Amer
lean consumer, alter passing through
the custom-house, was about $1.25 a
gallon. 1t appears to us that such a
tariff is a tax, and that that tax is not
only on the article imported, but on

Election and Pretertition.

The committee of the Presbyterian
General Assembly who are engaged in
revising their revision of the West
minister Confession, deserve the SYM
pathy of all good and reasonable men.
The task set before them is hard.
They are instructed to keep the Cal
vinism of the Confession unimpaired,
and yet they must satisfy the great
body of Presbyterians to whom the
system seems to be altogether hateful.
They are men of much intellectual
ability, and generally they are we'll
trained logicians, but in order to per-
form the task required of them they
must sacrifice their reputation for
reasoning capacity and present them
selves to the worldly as ignorant of the
significance of terms within the COM
prehension of the most ordinary intel
ligence. They must make 2 and
equal 5, or. at least, not equal t as a
matter of necessity.
Of course. the foundation of the Cal
whistle system is the doctrine of cleo
ton, with its consequences of preteri-
ton and the damnation of the heather
and of infants; but the whole move
ment for the revision of the Westmin-
ster Confession had it's origin in a
revolt against that doctrines. Except
for it, the committee would never have
been appointed. ALI the other work

IT is no more necessary to go to war

to beat a five-year-old child to maintain

pretty well settled fact, anyway, that if
the United States had sent reputable
citizen, instead of a six-months' natur-
allied dynamiter, to represent this great
Republic in Chilli, there would be no

sending of Egan was a crime against
patriotism and reason, aud nations, as

where they have sowed tares. But that

ROSLYN BANK ROBBERS.
THREE OF THE DEsPERADOEs CAP
TUREB IN OREGON.
A Long Chase That Planned Out Well
in the End-Ofiicers Securing the
Hills for the Rest OF
the Gang.

ARLINGTON, Ore, Nov. 25.-Three
men, identified as members of the gang
who robbed the Roslyn bank in Septem-
Der last and secured $4,000, arrived
here today in charge of Sullivan and
deputies of Thiel's detective agency
having been captured in the mountains.
They are desperate characters, and for
years have been the terror of the people
living in the vicinity. They are be-
lleved to be the same gang who robbed
two other banks during the past year ia
a similar manner. Officers are now in
pursuit OF the balarceof the gang, gnd
expect to capture them in 'ew days.
an effort was made by their confeder-
ates to rescue the prisoners, but they
failed. The prisoners were taken west
this afternoon on train to Portland.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 25. = WorS
reached here this evening from Arlins-
ton, Gillian county, Ore, that three OF
the five men who robbed the First ma
tional bank at Roslyn, WASH, Septem-
Der 23d last, had been captured in the
hills near there. Only meagre details
OF the capture have been received.
At Thiei's detective agency, in this
city, it is learned that posse of about
of the surrounding counties and
number OF Thiel detectives was
formed on Sunday last, and started in
pursuit of the three men who had been
located by the detectives. The entire
band of robbers whose headquarters are
known to be IN Gillian county, num-
bers 20 or rs. 1t is thought they have
been operating all over the Pacific
coast, robbing banks and holding up
trains.
The first clue to the rendezvous of the
gang was obtained by finding horse
which one of the robbers had lett near
Ellensburg. After some time it was
ascertained that the animal was owned
in Gillian county. After following the
trail of the robbers several days, the
posse came upon them and an engage
ment took place, in which it is supposed
one Of the robbers was wounded. The
next day the rags with which the man
had dressed his wounds were found.
This clue was followed up, and il was
learned that the robbers went toward
the Columbia river.
From the accounts OF the capture
received it is supposed that the
poese came upon the three men
when they were off guard and captured
them without resistance. 1t was feared
that the remainder of the gang would
attempt to rescue the prisoners, as they
are known to be well armed and des-
perate.
The three men were identified by DR..
Lyons, who was in the bank at the time
of the robbery. He passed through this
city yesterday, having been summoned
to identify the men in case their capture
was effected

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Archer Locke, a
former resident of Sau Francisco and
more recently of Los Angeles, was the
defendant in the police court here, to-
day, on the charge of attempting to
shoot Mrs. Norma Nettler, prominentin
society circles in this city. Locke, who
is stock broker and reputed to be rich,
met Mrs. Nettler when she lived in Los
Angeles several years ago. He became
infatuated with her and despite the
threats of her husband to deal summar-
lily with him if he persisted in paying
the woman attention he needed it not,
but continued to harrass her with letters
couched in most endearing terms.
He went further than that and
promised that he would marry
her if she would leave her husband and
go with him. The proposition was in
dignantly resented, and to escape noto-
riety and the rtian's persistent entreaties
for her to elope with him, Mrs. Nettler
left her western home and came to this
city. It was not long before the wealthy
and love-stricken Californian found out
her whereabouts. He telegraphed her
that he would come and see her if he
was welcome. Receiving no reply he
left for this city. arriving here last Tues
day. He proceeded at once to the
alteration of his heart, and was met by
Mrs. Nettler with a stern rebuke and
threats of arrest if he did not leave the
house. This was too much for Locke,
and he resolved that be would
leave behind him lasting reminder
OF his visit. Drawing revolver
from his pocket, be showed it under the
woman's nose with the startling infor-
nation that if she did not come with
him he would treat her to dose OF lead
from 3S-caliber weapon, Mrs Nattler,
who is plucky woman, seized at once
the seriousness OF the situation, and
quick as fash wrenched the weapon
from the would be murderer's hand. In
the melee which followed, in which the
two rolled over each other on the floor,
one fighting for life and the other COR
revenge, Mrs. Nettler was severely
bruised about the head and body. Hear
ing screams for help, neighbors rushed
in and rescued the fainting woman from
the vice like grip of her now irfuris.sss...
lover. He was handed over to the po-
lice, and was required to give bonds in
the sum OF $500. Locke explains the
affair by ststing that Mrs. Nettler had
blackmailed him for $4,000, under the
pretense that she would marry him.
He says he will return to Los Angeles
this week, and after securing evidence,
will have the woman arrested.
