young man, constantly carried pocket book
into which he thrust bank notes, letters

soon as the pocket book became fun he used
to put it away in a drawer without TROUBLING

A Better Financial Outlook.

Since the President announced that he
would call an extra session of congress
not later than Sept. Is, there has been
very noticeable improvement in the tinan-
cial situation. Confidence has been in
measure restored and business enter
prises are engaged in much more freely.
In our dispatches yesterday from Wash
ington it was stated that the financial
condition of the country, as viewed from
the treasury standpoint, SHOWS general
improvement. Bank and commeroill
failures are much fewer, and the outflow
of gold has almost wholly ceased Our
products are going abroad more fcely and
hence more money is being put in circula-
tion.
There are no good reasons why there
should be any scarcity of money. The
country is prosperous and its credit is
better than thatof any other in the world.
If the people continue to have confidence
in their financial institutions there will be
no disastrous financial troubles.
There have been some bank failures in
the west and very few in other
parts of the country. a glance
at them, however, shows that
as rule they We're small concerns, and
their weakness was owing TO mismanage-
ment. None of the strong and well man
| aged financial institutions have failed to
meet all the demands made upon them.
The banks and business houses that
have failed would have closed their doors.
in all probability, sooner or later, even if
there had been no unusual pressure upon
them, because they were weak concerns
and had not followed sound business rui y
in conducting their affairs.
II is gratifying that the outlook has so
much improved that the treasury depart
ment is able to send out reports that are
calculated to strengthen confidence and
! quicken business in all its various
| branches.

Something in a Name

An Englishman, travelling on the continent
engaged the services of a smart courier, and
on arriving at an inn one evening he sent him
for the travellers register that he might enter
his name in accordance with the Austrian
police regulations, says lie Petit Liegeois
The man replied that he had anticipated his
wishes, and registered him has an English
gentleman of independent means"
But how did you write my name!'
Il can't exactly pronounce it, but copied
it faithfully from milors portmanteau."
But it is not there. Bring me the book"

finding instead of a very plain English name
of two syllables, the following portentous
entry. Monsieur Observation-Disclosures -

a Blow to Friendship.


From the indianapolis Journal
Perhaps you've met a fellow whom YOU
thought of pretty we'll
When you had a brand new story, that vol
fairly ached to tell;
So you'd pin him in a corner or against an area
rail
And begin with joyous JUNCTION to relate your
little tale,
While he hardened, all attention with the
buildings OF "A smile
Showing family on his interested countenance
the while
And you try to be dramatic, and to interest
your friend
While he listened most intently till you almost
reached the end:
Till you'd nearly reached the climax where
the listener should roar:
Then he'd say: 1T ends just this way-I'ye
heard that yarn before"

The Queen,s Laoes.

1t is almost pity that the story of the
tilching of Queen Margherita's laces, in
tended for exhibition at the worlds fair
is not true, there was so much of romance
suggested by it. There are the daring
brigands of Italy, capable of anything,
who might have made dash for and
secured the priceless treasures before they
left Rome, and ridden away with them
to the businesses of their retreats, thence
to treat with the queens representative
for ransom. Or a bad, shrewd
favorite at the court might have accompa-
MED the laces on board ship and in the
dead watches of the night have crept
noiselessly through the darkened hold to
the deal box containing the rare old hand
kerchiefs and things, and then and there
with the aid of a nail puller, have com
mitted the rape of the laces Again, sup
posing the laces left Rome all right and
escaped the clutches of the covetous per-
son aboard ship, what suggestive and
thrilling story might have been built upon
the larceny of the laces in the American
custom house by the head porter or the
surveyor of the coal scuttle. OF course
nobody would have dared buy the
queens lost treasure for fear of
detection, and subsequently the Jail,
but the porter or the surveyor of the coal
scuttle might have presented them to his
blushing bride on their wedding day.
Or, if it could have been shown that the
laces escaped the custom house, what
possibilities in the line of descriptive
writing are suggested by the idea that
the laces were stolen after their arrival
at Chicago. There are gathered at the
fair representatives of almost every
known race, hence the chronicler of the
disappearance could have selected his
ideal thief from the field of the world.
In short, had the queens laces really
been stolen, the range of interesting spec
ulation to account for their disappearance
would have been well nigh limitless. But
as it is, all speculation and romance build
ing has been knocked in cooked hat;'
the laces remain at Rome, to be photo
graphed.

Arthur A. Zimmerman, champion bicy-
clist of the world and member of the
Savannah Wheelmens Association, will
leave England on Saturday for his home
in New Jersey. Zimmerman's hurts, sus-
tanned on the Dublin track last week, had
something to do with his Withdrawal
from future races in Europe this season,
but they were not the sole cause. The
fact is that Zimmerman has had a row
with the National Cycling Union. under
whose auspices the English races are run
The union forbade him to enter the con
tests unless he would discontinue using
the wheel made by a certain company.
Zimmerman declared that it would be i'm
possible for him to accustom himself to a
new machine rapidly enough to have anv
chance of winning the events which he
had planned to contest, and rather than
be handicapped with a machine not of his
choice and new to him, he Withdrew from
all matches for which he had entered.
Public sentiment, by the way, is with
the plucly American rider The racing
men especially have little sympathy with
the unions ruling, which was dictated by
the fear that certain wheelwould get
a good advertisement out of the events.
The election to be held in Virginia the
coming fall is a very important matter.
Besides the state ticket, legislature will
be elected, which will in turn elect five
judges of the court of appeals, which is
the supreme court of the state (they hold
for twelve years. eighteen circuit judges,
and two United States senator's, one to fill
the mexpired term of the late Senator
Barbour and the other to serve the full
term beginning March 4, 1895 Besides
these higher offices the legislature will
also elect what are known locally as the
basement officers''-the secretary, the
treasurer, two auditors, the railroad COM
missioners, the commissioner of agri-
culture, the superintendent of public in
struction, etc. The Importance, there
fore, of the democrats winning the con
test is at once apparent. And there is
little, if any, doubt that they win win
The populists and the republicans are
going to act together IN the effort to down
the democrats. But the number of popu-
lists in the state is not sufficient to bridge
the difference between the democratic
and republican strength.

a peculiar case was recently tried at
Lawrence Mass. Theresa -McAvoy, the
2O-year-old daughter of wealthy parents,
was arraigned on a charge of theft. On
trial she confessed that she could not re-
sist an Unborn desire to steal. She had
been stealing ever since her childhood.
She stole nothing but money, but would
steal that from her father or anybody
else whenever an opportunity was offered.
But she had never used any of the stolen
money herself; she always gave 1t to
young women about to get married or to
young children for whom she might take
fancy. She estimated that she had
stolen upward of $1,000 Her parents tried
in every known way to reform her to no
purpose, and finally, without protest
when the prosecution might have been
stopped, allowed the court to send her to
the women prison for two years.
