Deposit Company Too the Mark.
PHILADELPHIA, April 16-Argument
was heard to-day in the action of State
Banking Superintendent Krumbhaar against
the Mutual Surety Trust and Safe Deposit
Company, which he alleged was working on
fictitious capital s1oo, 900, its nominal capi-
tai Of s177, ,765 being paid in. Mr.. Krumb-
haar closed the concern some time since
under recent law giving him that author
ity, and the Surety Company, after learning
the cause of his action, offered to raise $17O,
900 to be deposited in the treasury if the
bank were allowedsto open.
Krumbhaar insisted that the sum should
be turned over to him and he would then
confer with the Auditor General on the pro-
priety of reopening the bank. The Court,
after hearing statement of the Surety
Company's condition and assets, refused to
appoint receiver and advised the parties
to mutually arrange decree providing for
the payment of the additional capital into
the company's treasury. -

A Break Followed BY Quick Recovery Of

The market was moderately active and in
some respects interesting. Sales aggregated
about Us 900 barrels. The close was good
fraction better than the opening on Mon
day.
The principal feature was sharp break on
Wednesday on neavy offerings at Oil City.
There was quick rally and nearly all the
lost ground was recovered, indicating that
the cause for the slump was more imaginary
than real. The recovery was, no doubt,
aided by talk of a shutdown, with the addi-
tion of good sprinkling Of buying orders
from the outside. Fluctuations for the five
days are shown in the following table:

FAIR TRADING AND GOOD PRICES
AFTER THE HOLIDAY.

The stock market was fairly active and
strong yesterday, which was somewhat un-
expected after one holiday and just before
another. Final prices, as general thing,
were the best of the week.
Stocks closing higher for the week were
CHARTERS Gas, Pipeage, Philadelphia, Citi-
zens' Traction, Airbrake, Wheeling Gas and
Cable. Those closing down were Central
Traction, Luster and Switch and Signal.
Underground Cable improved its position
on information that several Important con.
tracts had been secured. After call yester-
day it was bid up to 761<. The sale of 80
shares of DuQuesne Traction at 26L seemed
to wipe up all Of the floating stock. 1t is
thought something definite will be known
this week in regard to the Pittsburg divi-
dend.
At meeting Of tho full Board Of Directors
OF the United States Glass Company, It was
decided to list the stock on the Pittsburg
Exchange. The final papers OF A. j. Beatty

completed and signed. and they are now
1ull members of the company.

A prominent banker is quoted as saying:
money lending at ~ per cent fn Wall street
in the first half of April. This shows that
money is abundant all over the country, and
foreshadows time, not very distant. when
paving of interest on deposits by financial
Institutions will be practically out of the
question. As capitalists find themselves
unable to lend money to advantage they
will buy bonds in order to get return on
their money" This should be tempered by
the statement that a good reason for the
abundance of money is not so much due to a
contraction OF loans as to the increased
wealth Of the country.

TRADE OF THE WEEK.
Unreasonable Weather the Great

LOCAL STOCKS HOLD THE FORT.
Two Northside Dwellings Raced to Make
Room for One Of the Finest
AN INVESTMENT NEAR sCHENLEY PARK

Trade conditions vary 90 little from
week to week that it is difficult to detect
anything new. The volume Of local trade
last week was about up to the average
larger than year ago. but scarcely satis-
factory in view of the lateness of the
season. Lingering winter weather was the
only material drawback. The financial
situation was easy, and therefore favorable
to business expansion. Clearing House re-
ports denoted . gratifying increase in. the
business Of the country. Pittsburg held
the eighth position. being next to Balti-
more and ahead of Cincinnati. The steady
accumulation of deposits Is . sure indica-
tion of prosperity among the masses, and
all the more so when considered in con-
nection with the fact that collections are
easier than usual The stock market was
quiet, but prices were generally steady. In
real estate there were more inquiries than
sales, although the latter footed up re-
spectacle aggregate. The absence of un-
favorable signs shows that about all that is
necessary to rally in all lines of activity
is good weather to solidify the country
roads and give farmers access to the
markets

FORT WORTH, TEX
: A long-felt need Of our little city, Of
which every citizen is so justly proud, is q
public library. believe there have been
several attempts made to start one, but
nothing seems to have ever come of them.
OF course we realize that this Is q busy
time, and many new enterprises are start
ing. but what could be thought of which
would be Of more benefit and pleasure to
all classes and cost less to each one2 That
is, provided each one is willing to do his
part
Let room be found in q central locality,
and it will not need much fitting up At first
beyond the shelving, as the rest can be
done gradually. As to the rent OF the
room, if the owner be q citizen OF Fort
Worth he would surely be reasonable on
that point when he sees the benefit that
both he and the general public would de-
rive. For the library, let each citizen who
approves the idea pay an amount, each one
according TO his own ability. When a start
is once made, let US not give it up until We
have succeeded. There are many people
who will not start an enterprise, but when
they see it IS proving successful are always
ready to help. No one can deny that
good library would be an addition to our
city, and do great deal of good, both NOR
ally and intellectually.
And now, Mr.. Editor, anything The GA
ZET7E takes in hand generally wins sooner
or later, and therefore we ask your CO.
operation in this matter.

Now that war has been declared against
Hogg for governor, no story is too thin for
circulation. The SANDER going the rounds
of his enemies that he has reflected on ex-
Confederates is the thinnest of all and is
amply refuted by his political appoint
ments. Out of twenty-seyen appointments
made by Governor Hogg, we find that
nineteen are ex-Confederates, and the
balance too young to have been in the war.
In this connection, what consistency is
there in the anti-Hogg men holding up
Ross, good man and true, and comparing
him to Hogga True, he was good Confed-
crate sefdier, but his stomach was made of
as good material as his ''boosters,' for
while he did not eat Yankee for break
fast every morning, he had one of them as
his private secretary. Hogg is a Southern
man in every particular. How can he
keep from being? On the battle grounds of
the great civil war he lost his father and
other male relatives, and his recollections
of that contest are tinged with as bitter
memories as though he ha3 been present.
But like man he says LET the dead past
bury its dead,'' and looking to the future
sees it full OF promise for lasting peace and
good will He yields no principle, but
wastes no time in useless sorrow. He is
true to the South, true to humanity, true to
his native state, and fearless in all things.

was possible, and by this declaration
all necessary care Of the sacred struct-
ure has been ennobled. Whenever a
man, or woman, wsntonly violates
physical laws, debases to ignoble uses
bodily function, or by neglect allows
beauty OF face or form to become
married, that one is morally respon-
sible for such / . version, abuse or neg
lect of gift diyinely bestowed. No
one has right to be sour-visaged, hol-
low-ehested, stoop-shou!dered, feeble
of muscle and attenuated in frame.
Either this man or his parents are cul-
pable. Even if the wrong is entailed,
persistent effort viii go far in overcom-
ing the evil effects of early neglect, or
of the visitation upon the child OF the
sins of the fathers.
The hope of the race in this day is
the awakened interest in a proper
physical development. Many of the
methods merit the name of fads, but
there is underlying strata Of true
growth that is healthful. Physical
culture has moral side which is of
natural Importance, for it tends to de-
velop good citizens and thus to elevate
the people. Moses was a wise legisla-
tor, this much is usually granted, and
the Judaic law contains many instruc-
lions for proper regard of the body,
which are still further enforced in the
Christian dispensation. Nor is this
irrational. In striving after moral
perfection, there must be a CORE
spending vigor of body and mind to give
an ability to carry out high purposes,
moral and intellectual.
Proper care of the body involves cor
rect living, and correct life strength
ems, enrolling mind action, and to lack
either is to fall far short of physical
beauty. Whatever unduly stimulates
the animal nature, whatever pollutes
the mind or quickens hate, envy, or
malice, writes coarse, hard lines upon
the face, or makes the form an expon-
ent of debasement. There can be no
high order of beauty without a refined
nature. Inordinate ambition, or greed,
unrelaxed pursuit of gain, living for
self, whatever the form, each and all
tend to imbrute.
Heather nations have sought to Sc
cure physical beauty by the destruction
OF puny and deformed infants. The same
end is now sought in Christian lands by
an observance OF physical laws.
Through this parents will be enabled
to transmit to their children the bless
ing of physical beauty. Factors in
working out the problem, are care OF
the body, the food, the exercise, the
recreation and of the moral and mental
culture. This care exercised, then, de-
spite critics, the result will make
patent the fact that physical beauty is
a good gift when intelligently- used.

PHYSICAL BEAUTY.

coming from an ambassador of Him
who created beauty and afterwards

a belief that physical beauty in man

any sculptor can design. The mistake
of this learned prelate is in depreciat-
ing the gift instead of deploring its
abuse, and because the possessors of it
are prone to become vain and frivolous
is poor argument

Anticipation LEGISLATION.

While the committee on agriculture
of the house of representatives at
Washington is considering the ques-
ton of regulating or restricting the
practice of dealing in futures and op-
tions, the national board of trade, COM
posed of delegates from 400 CONNER
cial bodies, is in session at the national
capital protesting against the threat
ened legislation as unwarranted inter-
ference with private business. The
board goes so far, however, as to admit
certain evils OF excessive trading in
agricultural products that might be
prevented by some sort of legislation
just what, is not suggested. At this
distance, and without more definite in
formation, it is not easy to form an in
telligent opinion of the legislation con-
templated. There seems to be we'll
defined conviction at Washington that
the evils of option dealing have reached
a stage of national consequence that de-
mands corrective measures. Whether
this is so cannot be ascertained from
the assurances of the suppostitious
benefciaries of the practice. AS in all
similar cases, they stand up for their
own interests. The Louisiana lottery
does it.
The fact that evils are admitted by
the national board appears to justify
action of some sort by congress. The
failure OF the board, while criticising
the bills under consideration, to pro-
pose anything better, although adj
hitting the need for it, does not place
it in favorable light. To object to
everything proposed, without sug-
gesting an alternative remedy, is to
copy the methods of Ingersoll, who
would abolish religion without having
substitute ready, or thinking of one.
There ought to be the least possible
Legislative interference with mems pri-
vate affairs or with customary and le-
climate business methods. That is an
axiom. But this position is easily as
sumed where recognized evils affecting
the public interest spring up and be-
come well intrenched. Some years ago
the railroads resisted the authority of
the state to exercise any control over
their business. To do so was called
meddling with their private business.
But the evils complained of. and adj
mitted in part by the companies, be-
came excessive and the state exercised
its sovereign power to correct them.
The belief is quite general among
the people that they suffer from ex-
cessiye dealing in options and futures.
The national board OF trade admits
somc evils. A congressional commit
tee proposes certain remedies. 'sNo,
no, says the board, s'none of that. if
you please. You are meddling with
private business" But, my dear
board, what's to be done? Can't you
suggest a remedy for evils you are IA
miliar with? No answer.

THE severe critics who have gotten
out of patience with the fantastic move
ments of Mr.. Mills declare that his real
grievance is that the coming campaign
is not to be waged over bill bearing
his name. TIE GAZETTE does not be-
lieye it. 1t is easy for those who do
not know him to misiudge Mr.. Mills.
His positiveness sweeps him into awk-
ward attitudes, but it is, undoubtedly,
the principle for which he fights, not
the bauble OF little notoriety.
