BANKING TROl HIE>.

Comptroller of the Currency Eckles
was the other day entertained at dinner
in New York city. and while the affair
was intended to be solely of a social
character it naturally. considering the
fact that all OF the prominent New York
bankers were present. drifted into IA con
ference upon the present financial straits.
Mr.. Eckles in the course of his remarks
eaid that the stringency Of the money
market was not due to any general de
preston throughout the country. but
that it was caused by a bad system of
banking. 1t had only been precipitated
by a feeling Of distrust. or rather. those
banks who had endeayored to speculate
too heavy were forced to the wall. in
their attempt to make something out Of
nothing. Referring to the numerous at
temps to boom owns and particular sec
tons Of the country. the comptroller
said that the conservative. straight for
ward business concerns had and would
have no serious difficulty in pulling
through the %troubulous time. With the
extreme west and some portions of the
south il world be much worse he
thought. than in the northwest. and he
useN these words IN commenting upon
the situation
Disasters have fallen upon speculative
institutions and boom citiesof the states
of Washington. California. Colorado.
Kansas and Missouri. which have in turn
injured solvent ones. but the states Of
New England and the east and the
northwest have thus far escaped. and
will. because the foundation upon which
they are built is rock. and not sand.
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Eckles
gave expressions to one sentiment that
is true beyond question, and is likewise
one which SO few people realize. or if
they do, they fail to practice it. He had
been mentioning the matter Of dlsas-
trous runs upon banks. and used these
words:
People are hoping and asking mach
from the banks. In turn. the banks
have the right of considerable treatment
from the people. Let those who have
long transacted business with banking
institutions have sufficient confidence in
them to know and feel that if in years
past they proved safe. they are likely to
do So now. People who indulge IN runs
on banks cause to come about the very
thing they say they wish to advert.

An ARTIST EVEN WHILE SUFFERING
Miss Bennett Painted In Perpetual Pain
and Studied Languages and Music Dur
ing the Six Years That She Was Dying.

Miss Bennett Painted In Perpetual Pain
and Studied Languages and Music Dur
ing the SIX Years That She Was Dying.
NEW YORK, Sept. 81 Annie Bennett
was a rosy checked, healthy girl when
she was IA years old. which was six
years ago. During the past six years
she was a helpless invalid, unable at
times to move her body, and suffering
physical agony with scarcely any inter
mission Of pain. All that time she was
slowly dying from the effects of fall
which caused Inflammation of the spinal
cord, a disease which the doctors call
chronic myelitis.
She died on Tuesday at the residence
of her uncle, Henry NJ. Calvert, at 1873
Hancock street, Brooklyn, where her
home had been since she was child.
When she was little child, some
years before her sfIiiction, Miss Bennett s
uncle had planned to have her go to
Europe when she was eighteen years old
to study music and languages, for both
of which she had shown unusual ap-
titude. When the affllction came which
forced her to abandon not only her PLAZA
Of foreign travel, but even hope Of ever
leaving her bed, she continued her
study of languages, and everything con
nected with music which did not require
instrumental practice. She added to this
painting.
Miss Benefits study of painting was
necessarily pursued under peculiar con-
ditions. 1t was not always possible for
her to assume sitting attitude, or even
to be propped up by pillows into half
reclining position.
This did not discourage her in the
least. Under her directions a swinging
easel was suspended from the ceiling
over.her bed, land so arranged that It could
be adjusted in any position or angle by
| pulleys and cords at her command Hell
hands and arms were still at her com
mand, and she worked with brush ano
pallet many hours a day
Under these conditions she produced
Toany creditable canvasses. She painted
portraits Of her friends, who posed by
her bedside, Her dogs end cats and
other pets also furnished subjects Land
scapes and water views we're painted
from her memory of scenes which had
been familiar to her in her days of free
dom and health In these latter can
vases she displayed a wonderful mem
DRY of form and color, reproducing
faithfully the details of scenes she haC
not viewed for years, During all thii
work she was scarcely ever free from
pain.
Miss Bennett was the daughter O.

Her full name was Annie Blanche Cslver
