Dor has and more, too; SO all
day long she travels from one building
to another, forgetting to rest, until
she becomes not only physically ex-

soured to the sorrow of those who

crowd gathers on the platforms to
take the elevated trains for town, the
brutality exhibited defes description.

earliest stage of its development, that
the question of suffrage had best re-
main unanswered forever. The in
dignation that this horror occasions
becomes pacified by a visit to the
Children's building, where there is a
day nursery, where babies are cared for
from morning till night for twenty-five
cents. Those in charge are bright
faced, healthy-looking nurses from the
training schools, and they care for the
wee ones with much evident tender
ness. They make very pretty sight
in their simple gray uniform, and all
capped in white. As they pass from
one baby to the other, fondling this
one and pacifying another. while 9TH

there is a satisfied feeling that woman
has not forgotten her mission-and
never will no matter how much the

had received on entering the baby she
had lost, and consequently entertained
fears that her little one would not be
given TO her on application. The in
genuity of one woman who was seeing
the wonders with seven little children
received the praise of all those who
caught a glimpse of her. The oldest
of them all was between eleven and
twelve years. while the Youngest was

A Detroit Fireman Killed.

Hook and ladder truck No. 8, and a
Woodward avenue electric car collided
at Detroit The heavy truck was tear
ing down Montcalm street in answer to
an alarm and the car was going down
gra lie at the rate of II to Is miles an
hour, when they met The car was
partly filed with passengers. The
suddenness of the shock threw them
from their seats, but nobody was in
jured. The car left the track but was
not much damaged. The truck was
struck in the center and partly wrecked.
Ladderman Hugh Clarity, who was
driving the truck, was thrown from
his high seat, struck on his head on
the asphalt pavement and was in
stantly killed, his neck being broken.
One other ladderman was slightly
bruised, but was up and at work five
minutes afterward. Bystanders who
saw the accident say neither side was
to blame. Both driver and motorman
were ringing their gongs, but the noise
made by both vehicles drowned each
from hearing the other The crash
was heavy one, and the wonder is
that more people were not injured or
killed.

STATE NEWS MENTION.
4-YEAR-OLD GIRL ASSAULTED
NEAR SAGINAW.
Bank Commissioner Sherwood's Report on
Michigan Banks-Grand Rapids Wo-
mems Interpretations.
A Good Ylctlm Cor the Hemp.

Patrick Mcclure farmer, resides
about four miles northwest of the viii
tage of Milwaukee, Saginaw county. A
dance was given at a house across the
street from the Mcclure residence and
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclure attended, leav-
Ing the children alone in the house.
One was girl named Katie, only four
years old, but large of her age, and the
other boy of two years. Every few
minutes either the father or mother
would step in TO see how they were
getting along. At half past 10 the
mother was surprised to see that the
light had been extinguished diving her
absence and, entering, found her little
daughter lying in the middle of the
floor crying bitterly. A lamp being
lighted one of the most terrible sights
Imaginable was witnessed. The little
girl was covered with blood and her
means were pitiful. Some william had
entered the house, taking the little
girl from the bed and criminally as
saulted her As soon as Mrs. McGuire
had notified her husband the dance
was at once broken up and an armed
posse of citizens started on a hunt for
the villain. A deputy sheriff was sent
from Saginaw to help in the search,
but there was not the slightest clue as
to the perpetrator of the outrage.
There is slight chance of the child's
recovery.
A singular fact in connection with
the crime is that last spring the mother
of the child was criminally assaulted
in her own home in the daytime.

Big Shortage in Michigan Banks.

Bank Commissioner Sherwood has
issued an abstract showing the condi-
ton of the state and national banks
and the three trust companies of Mich
igan at the close of business Oct. 3.
For the l59 state banks and the trust
companies the resources and liabilities
were S72, 631, 169. %. The resources and
liabilities of the 100 national banks in
the state were 500, PA, 144.9s.
An analysis and comparison of the
detailed reports with those made May
shows that the deposits in the l59
state banks May were sos, 533, 05793,
and on October they were S54, 49,
22j.ss. The decrease in the five months
was $40, 79j, 49,. % or 16.47 per cent.
On May the deposits in the 100 ma
tional banks were $40, 800, 1893. 95, while
on October they were but S31, 491,-
$50. ~. This is decrease of 80, 1884,
1914. 46, or 22. GO per cent.
The total deposits in both classes of
banks May 4 were Sl06, 223, 451. SO, and
on October 3, $50, 22S, 1851. The de-
crease in deposits in all the banks of
the state in five months was therefore
$40, 1894, GOO. 81 or 49, 50 per cent. Not
withstanding this deer ease both classes
of banks have far greater cash and re-
serve funds now than at any previous
time this year.

sioner Lochren was to resign, but he
denies il.
Emperor William has condemned
gambling in the army, and threaten
heavy punishment for those who per-

Secretary Hoke Smith has appointed
several new members of the board of

President Cleveland has recommis-

The conference between the mine
owners and delegates for the great

and it is understood that negotiations
will not be resumed and that the
strike will continue.
The mine owners and miners who
were at outs at Aspen, Colo, for some

No official of the state department
will admit or deny the assertion that
Germany or France or any other
European power has given any intima-
tion of an intention to intervene in
Brazilian affairs. There appears to be
no doubt, however, that the lnterfer-
ence of any European power in Brazil
would elicit a remonstrance from the
United States government.
John Floyd and Harry Smith were
rivals for the hand of Miss Lucy White

WEEKLY REVIEW or TRADE.

New York, November 6.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says: The repeal of
the sllve purchase act does good already.
The business world In every part of the
country reckons IL helpful and the tone of
trade is IN re confident. lt will go far to re-
store business confidence, which was much
needed. but many may expect from the
measure larger results than can at this late
day be realized The action OF Congress
had less visible influence upon speculative
markets for products In part because for
eign markets obstinately refused TO accept
the higher valuations which spectators
here tried TO esta lish. Industries could
not be expected to make any material gain
as vet, In consequence of no financial con-
dftions, but the demand for textile products
has TO some extent improved Tue metal
working Industries manifest little gain as
yet The minor metal, are weaker on the
whole, though speculation lifted lead

from many of the more important business
centers are that some efects OF the passage
OF the silver purchase repeal law are re-
fiected in an improved tone In financial cir
cles and the growth of con dence OF mer-
chants in the outlook. But IL should not be
disguised that the repeal Is too late to nave

ported Tect OF repeal Is seen In an I'M
provement in demand for commercial paper
at New DIRK and some other centers. The
merchandise this week Is slight In Mime

ton-growing districts of the south col
lections are improved. The like is true In
a few grain growing sections, but the coun-
try people are economizing rigidly and in

employed by the contractors who are
working on Hoffman Island embarked
in a 30-foot yawl to return to their
homes. The sea in the bay was rum

fully battled with the waves until
within 400 feet of South Beach, where
the men were to disembark. The sail
had just been lowered when a sudden
squat struck the boat. For some min
utes the men were successful in keep
ing the yawl afloat, but large wave
struck the boat, and filled her COM
pletely. The yawl sank, leaving the
90 men struggling in the water and
nine drowned before help could reach
them.

troops. At least 500 of the natives were
killed, while but six of the troops and
colonists were killed and about a score
