CONFIDENCE RETURNING.
Currency Matters settling Down in
India.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-The Calcutta cor
respondent of the Times says: Cur
rency matters are slowly but surely
settling down and confidence is return
ing. 1t is daily becoming more
evident that the SILVER shipped by the
banks IN June was intended to pay for
heavy speculative purchases of rupee
paper for London. Had the banks
financed the purchases with council
drafts instead of silver. the paper would
never have left the country, as the
price Of drafts would not have
made operations impracticable. The
superttuuus silver retarded the estab-
liShment of the gold standard for
weeks. while the action of the India Of
fee in letting council bills 20 for less
than l6 pence, depressed the price
of paper in England and caused
a refiuX to India. There is great salts
faction over the course adopted by the
secretary of state for India III not sell
ing under the last rate. 1t is generally
believed that he VII not have to wait
much longer to realize I'D. 1t is signiti-
cant that all efforts to force exchange
below l555 have failed.

A Malicious Story About an In

GREENCA sTLE. Ind, Aug. 6.-The
dispatch sent out from this city last
night that the Central National bank
had closed its doors and suspended pay
ment was maliciOusly false, and tho
officials ale now engaged in hunting
down the author. The bank has never
closed Its doors during business hours

WHEELING. w. Va, Aug. -Tomor-
row morning the Exchange bank. one of
the oldest. most honorable and most
solid financial institutions in this CITY
its stock being quoted at I45-wiIl not
open Its doors for business, and will
pass into the hands of an assignee. The
action OF the directors. which was briefly
given IN these dispatches last night, was
taken late yesterday evening. and.
Though 1t occaSlODed great surprise in
the business community. there was
nothing approaching q panic. as coupled
with the announcement was the state
ment that the bank is as solid as ever:
that depOsltOrs will be paid dollar for
dollar, aud that settlement will show
that the bank has a total. of over
S250,O OO clear of all liabilities.
The sole causes of the assignment were
the constant drainage of cash in the
vaults and falling of in cash deposits
owing to the general StTingency of the
times. OF the deposits made an IN
usually large percentage was in checks,
which, of course, could not be paid out
over the counter. The capital stock
the bank is 100000, upon which there
IS double liability. There IS due de-
p0SItOrS S950,000. and the assets are
Sl.2O0,OO0. The bank has always done
safe business and possesses the fullest
confidence OF its depOSItOrs and the
business world. As a natural result
OF the closing of the Exchange
bank, runs on the other BANKS in the
city are expected tomorrow, but with
out single exception they are solid,
and no fears are entertained that they
cannot weather the storm. They have
been cOnServatlVely managed, and have
the confidence of their patrons. This
feeling perVadeS the whole community.
and 1t may avert dangerous runs. 1t is
stated by the bankers that currency in
the banks Increased all through last
week, and all closed business Saturday
night with mere ready money than they
had had for a week. There is more
money in the vaults than at any time IN
the history of the city. Ii small depos-

REV. LHAMON RESIGNS.
BUT PROBABLY WILL NOT LEAVE HIS
cHARGE.
A SLIGHT SEIsUNDER STANDING

As to a Church Business Meeting
Seems TO Have Caused the
Trouble Nothing Serious
Likely, although Rev. Lha-
mon Can Go to Cincinnati if He
Desires.
Owing to slight misunderstanding
between the pastor and board of trus-
tees, Rev. w. }. Lhamon, of the Port
land Avenue Church of Christ. has
handed IN his resignation. 10 be acted
upon by the society next Thursday
evening. Mr.. LhamOn. when seen by a
GLOBE reporter last evening, at first re-
fused to be interviewed.
ut is a private matter" he said
''much as though l was having some
differences with my wife. and the news
papers have no business to interfere"
When explained, however, that the
matter had been given publicity III a
local evening paper, he consented to
talk concerning the matter.
i cannot express TO you how much /
regret that this matter has been taken
up by the newspapers. 1 have labored
with the congregation SIX years. and il
has been the most pleasant
charge l have ever held. The
pastors relation to his people
becomes one of the most sacred ties OF
life, and is not to be lightly broken of,
and yet there are times when a resigna-
ton IS proper. L have no word OF com
plant against any member of the board !;
IN fact, completely exOnerate them
from any attempt to offend me. 1t is
true that a church meeting was
called without my being notified
in regard TO it. but it was the
impression of the clerk that the
pastor was not a member of the
official board. and, as the matter
TO be considered was purely business,
he had thought would not care to at
tend. In reality, as 1 understand the
matter, the pastor is eX-Ot1iciO member
OF the church board. and by a special
act OF that board IS chairman OF its
meetings. There is now a perfect I'M
derstandIng between us. The resig-
nation, however. was sent IN in
good faith. and l propose to
abide by the action of the church.
If they decide to accept the resignation
1 viii leave; otherwise L shall proba-
bly, remain. l am not without other
chances OF work, however. Only last
week 1 received a letter from CIncin-
natl Offering me DastOrate there, the
work to begin Sept. l. l DO not believe
L have an enemy III the entire eongrega-
ton. and our relations have been most
sweet. If any one does not like my
preaching that is his matter, ana he
has perfect right to express himself.
L wish it distinctly understood that this
IS no church row, and is not going TO
grow into one"
MIR. LhamOn is very indignant to
think that some one conyersant with
tine facts, presumably one of the mem-
bers OF the church, has talked in re-
gard to the matter. IF / knew VINO he
was, 1 should be very much tempted TO
administer little friendly ana Christ
Ian advice" There is little doubt that
the matter will be cleared up at the
meeting Thursday evening. and ali Will
then be peace aud harmony as hereto
tore.

Mother Knows His Nose.

AtchisOn Globe
Does a mother ever lose an OppOrtun-
ity to wipe her boys nose? When she
dresses him up and starts him to Sun
day school the last thing she does after
telling him to behave himself IS to wipe
his nose. When he speaks a piece at
school his mother is usually there, and
after telling him not to be afraid she
wipes his nose. When there is COM
pany, just before the boy appears in
the room, MS mother disappears for a
moment - she has been Wiping his
nose. Sometimes she looks for his
own handkerchief for the purpose,
with a view OF discovering whether he
has lost it, but as a rule she uses her
apron. After the boy becomes eight or
nine years old his mother often says,
while rubbing his face with her apron:
You are becoming big enough 10 wine
your OWL nose" 1t is not known at
what age mothers quit this habit. but it
is known that boys feel very much more
important when mothers quit wiping
their noses.
