A prominent man in the city, who
is noted for his close listed pl ploclivi-
ties, is being guyed by number of
his friends. A few days ago he met
the directors of his company. 1t
happens that there is very comely
maiden who hammers the keys of a
typewriter for the company, and this
has worried the avaricious gentle
man quite good deal, as he is of the
opinion that woman's place is at
home. He has tried on several occa-
slons to have her salary cut down to
almost nothing, and any bills for ex-
penses coming from her are ALWAYS
gwen the closest scrutiny by him.
AT the meeting mentioned the di-
rectors were auditing bills, and
among them was one that read thus.
'Ribbon for typewriter, rs cents
When the avaricious gentleman no
uced 1t he was dumfounded-be
could not believe his senses. The idea
OF the company furnishing the young
lady stenographer with ribbon fairly

instant, waving his arms like a wind

Certain YounQ LADY.

Certain Young Lady.
LONG BRANCH, n. j., Dec. L.
The members of the Jersey confer
epce of the Methodist Episcopal
church are at present exercised over
the disappearance of the Rev. Geo
g. Sykes, who was the pastor of The
first church at Long Branch. Mr..
Sykes left here on October 81, to at
tend the convention of the Chris
tian Endeavor society at Bridgeton,
and did attend it, and was thought
so much of that he presided at sew
eral meetings. AT the close of the.
convention he purchased a clerical
ticket for Camden or Philadelphia,
and from that time no Information
has been received by his family. 1t
is stated that he visited this place
after his return from Bridgeton, but
his wife, who was visiting friends at
the time, did not see him, and says
that she has not had any communi-
cation from him. His friends here
paid no attention to his absence at
first, thinking he had probably gone
away for his health, as he had COM
planned of feeling unwell, but, not
hearing from him for some time,
concluded that something was
wrong. They visited Mrs. Sykes,
but she was unable to account for
her husbands disappearance, and
she invoked the aid of Rev. w. A.
Allen, of Vineland. He started out to
hunt for the missing minister, but
his search was fruitless. Those who
are inclined to take the most lenient
view of the case suggest that during
an attack of dementia Mr.. Sykes
wandered away and has perhaps
been placed in confinement some-
where. 1t is said that he was at
one time afflicted with a mild form
of insanity. While he was in charge
of the church here, Mr.. Sykes had
some trouble with his congregation
owing to the interest he took in a
certain young lady who attended
his services and whom some of the
members spoke disparagingly about.
He. defended her, and it is said that
he even went so far on several oc-
casions as to take her out with him
IN the society of his wife. 1t is
stated that the young woman in
whom Mr.. sykes had interested
himself is also missing.

THE WYOMING CONTEST.
General Newton as a Successful
Salary Drawer.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Secretary
of the War Elkins, in his official
capacity, promises to become con-
spicuous figure in the Panama canal
proceedings, whereby American in
terests are seriously jeopardized.
Secretary Elkins' attention has been
directed to the fact that General
John Newton, who is president of
the Panama Railway Company, is a
major.general on the retired list of
the United States army. The Pan
anna Railway Company was organ
ized under the laws of New York
and given a charter which guaran-
teed that the enterprise should al
ways be controlled by American
stockholders. The company passed
almost entirely into French hands,
but General Newton remained as
president, and has regularly drawn
both the salaries of a retired officer
and of the president of a railway
company, which only awaited the
expiration of its contract obligations
to Immediately attack American in
terests. AS soon as Secretary FL
kins' attention was drawn to this
state of affairs, he recognized that
General Newton was occupying "a
commercial position inconsistent
with the spirit of his military posi-
ton and inimical to the interests of
the American government, under
whose flag he Is still enrolled, since
officers of the retired list are tonsid-
cred by the war department as being
still In the service of the country.
1t is stated that Secretary Elkins,
In view of General Newton's anoma-
lnus position, has addressed him
letter in which, after directing his
to the Inconsistency of his
two salaried positions, was suggested
to him, by intimation at least, the
propriety of resigning one place or
the other. Congress Is almost sure
to take the Panama question In
hand and deal with 1t vigorously
from an American sta ldpoint.

BAD BANK SUSPENSION.
A Halt Million Financial Failure

"A Hall MllllOu FINANCIAL X failure.
JOLIET, ILL.,, Dec. 1.-The Stone
city bank suspended yesterday by
reason of embarrassment by the
shutting down of the Enterprise
company. The bank was operated
by III. Fish & Sons and was thought
to be one of the soundest financial
institutions in the state. The failure
is believed to be heavy one. The
trouble began with the Enterprise
company confessing judgment for
$lS3,l25 apd filing a trust deed to
Mrs. @. A. Miller for $l36, ,313. 1t is
estimated that nothing less than a
half million dollars will settle the
firms affairs. The failure of the
Enterprise company, it is announced
is due to the dull season. The af-
fairs of the bank are 80 involved
with those of the company that it
will take considerable time to un-
ravel the tangle. Many business
houses of Joliet kept accounts at the
bank. The suspension will result
in great embarrassment to them.
The greatest sufferers, however, will
be the laboring men, as many en-
ployes entrusted funds to the bank,
and now they are out of employ
ment and their money involved. 1t
is not believed, however, the banks
condition is beyond resuscitation.
There is prospect its affairs will be
out speedily. The de-
posits are from 100000 to 100000.
AS for the mill, it is not believed
there is any possibility of its re-
sumption. There was tremendous
excitement when the employees
found themselves out of employ
ment, and, when the news of the
banks suspension reached them, a
riot waSparrowly averted.
