A Hundred Dollar Investment.

Among the original depositors of 1877 In
the BOatmens Bank, of st. Louis" said a
banker recently to a Republic writer, was
the then well-known steamboatman, Capt
Thomas Denis He is said to have been
thrifty. Well-tO-dO navigator of the Big
Muddy. and favorably known to the travel
ing public for his attention to the comfort
and convenience of those who patrOnized his
craft. True to his good judgment and sense
OF thrift. he deposited 300 at the start in this
little savings bank That was in 1877. and
in 1919. during the gold excitement he went
to California, leaving his little investment
undiSturhed. At the time of the 1886 reOrgan-
izatioh, and, also in 1873, inquiry for Capt.
Denis was made without avail; letters were
written and every other means exhausted in
the vain endeavor to hear something of the
ola steambOatman. Nothing could be learned.
however, and so the changes went on. His
investment was allowed to remain aud accu-
mulate. and it began to be thought that there
would be forfeiture some day or other of the
captains unclaimed fortune.
This proved erroneous, however. for on
May D, 1874 a tall Californian named James
NJ. Lane, appeared at the bank and made in
quiry concerning the interests of said Thomas
Denis. He brought credentials which fully
Identified him as the sOn-in law of the late
Captain Thomas Denis and the legal repre-
sentative Of his heirs. He even had the old
deposit book, so there remained no doubt of
his right to make settlement of the captain :
original 500 deposit.
This was an easy matter, as the account
had Eeen carefully Kept, and there showed on
the books of the 'BOatmans to the credit of
captain lhOS. Denis as the result of the SlOG
deposited p years before, the sum of 81 5G5.
This amount was receipted for by Mr. Lane,
who pOcl1eted draft for IL and turned his
face homeward to Stanislas county. Califor-
mia, and thus was closed out the Oldest ac-
count then standing on the books of the Boat

Farmers and the Money stringency
From the New York Post Gnd1

1t is noteworthy fact that the farmers are
suffering hut slightly from the financial
stringency. 1t is very rarely that case is
heard OF where a farmer becomes embar-
raised and when il does happen, it is pretty
sure to be man who mixed the pursuit OF
speculation with that of agriculture. The
Ohio State Journal says that in its part of the
country the banks have loaned farmers less
money within the last two years than ever be-
fore in the same length of time and that they
are not using one dollar of borrowed money
where they used ten a few years ago. AS a
body, says the Journal. they are financially
healthy and strong, beyond the compass OF
moneyed interests handled by the capitalists. "
and it holds that so long as the great pro
ducing elemeut-ths creators Of wealth-is
solvent, there Is not the slightest prospect OF
q financial panic"

An Enterprise That Must Wait Awhile.

The minds Of the people are so occupied
with the prevailing financial distress that
the report of the engineers as to the feast
bility of the proposed international rail
road to connect the railroad systems Of
the United States with those of South
America has attracted scarcely any at
tCntion The report was filed at Wash
ington day or twoago. and the conclu-
sion which the engineers have reached is
that there is nothing in the way of such a
road that engineering skill cannot over
come.
The surveying of route for an inter
national railroad that would make it pos
sible to enter a car at New York and be
conveyed by it through the United States.
Mexico, Central America, Colombia. Ec-
uador, Peru, and thence, either by way
of Bolivia and the Argentine Republic, to
the Atlantic scaports, or by Northern
Chile TO Valparaiso, was so strongly
urged by Mr. Blaine, when he was score
tary Of state, that it was undertaken
about two years ago, an appropriation
for that purpose having been obtained.
Now that it is known that such a road
can be built, capitalists in coming years
will devote good deal of attention to the
matter. 1t is not probable that an at
tempt to build the road will be made dur
ing this century, and perhaps not this
generation. 1t wouldn't pay operating
expenses, the engineers say, but when
the United States become overcrowded
and some Of their people are pushed
southwark its construction may be under
taken, but hardly before.

From the Boston Herald Gnd).
The Bank OF Ireland had just declared an
llla per cent. dividend for the past half year,
which is considerably above the average. The
attempt of the Ulster politicians TO bear Irish
they engineered in the Bank of lreland's
stock when Gladstone introduced his home
rule bill, can hardly have been profitable
ventures in view of the remarkable pros
perity OF that institution.

The perversity of typographical errors
is well illustrated in a recent issue of our
contemporary, the Oglethorpe Echo. In
bright article eulogistic of the native
grace and gallantry of the Georgian, this
occurs: Yes he was Georgian to the
marrow born; son of grand common
wealth, etc. The trouble, it win be OBJ
served, is to spot the error. Was he a

a Better Feeling in Denver.

The announcement of Controller Eckels
that he will give every possible assis-
tauce to the Denver banks that have
closed their doors, has had good effect
in that city, and the people there feel that
with little patience on the part of the
creditors, they can eXtricate themselves
from their financial difficulties. and in a
short time enjoy fair measure of bust
ness prosperity. Nearly all the banks
that closed their doors were solvent insti-
buttons. They failed because they could
not realize on their assets. Some of them
have securities that are worth from two
to three times the amount of their liabili-
ties. The panic was so great that they
could not get money from any source.
Even if their assets had been ten times as
great as their liabilities they would have
been compelled to suspend.
Confidence has been in a measure re
stored, and much Of the money that was
drawn out Of the banks during the panic
Will be deposited again when the banks
are in a condition to resume business.
But it will be quite a long time before
Denver RECEIVERS her prosperity. The ex-
