Danger

In panics, whether on fields
of commerce or of war, the
greatest disasters arise from
want of cool, concerted, in
telligent action
In these times mutual,
legitimate support helps to
restore confidence. The Cal,
lender, McAuslan & Troup
Co., wishing to do what it
can to dispel unnecessary
fear of the soundness OF the
savings banks of the city,
has decided to take, in eX-
change for merchandise, an
order from depositors direct
ing the savings banks to trans
fer to our credit on the bank
deposit books amounts equiv
alent to the value of merchan-
disc sold.
By this means those who
cannot draw money at once
from Savings Banks where
they have deposits, can pur-
chase necessaries by their
bank books as efectually
and cheaply as if they had
cash in hand.

But Confidence Will Not Be Restored Until
Congress Repeals the Silver Purchase
Clause of the Sherman Law---Much De-
pends on the Attitude and Action Of the
Senate, Which Now Appears Doubtful

So great is the interest taken in the
presidents mess age to congress that the
News has secured interviews with seve-
raj or ths leading business men and bank-
ers as TO Us probable effects on the
financial situation. The conse nsus
Of opinion seems to be that MIR. Clevelani's s
recommendation are wise and should be
carr ed out. The only thing that i now
in doubt is the action OF congress. Ii
appears to be the opinion that the house

Lawyers Difident.

City Treasurer Granger's Views.
City Treasurer Granger said the mes
sage was conservative aud sound and he
believed would have good effect. IL
practically assures the repeal OF the
Sherman ect and that is what the coun-
try esis just at present.
Cashier Chase Of the Rhode Island
National bank said the message was
only what was expected. as IL was geDer-

OF repeal. Taere would be no immediate

Mr.. Jackson did not believe the message

The Twin Screw Era.

The fact that the Campania is the first
vessel built by the Cunard company for
the Atlantic service in which twin screws
and duplicate machinery have been
adopted in itself inspires, in view espe-
cially Of the mishap to the Umbria's
shafting, a considerable degree of pro-
fessional interest, although even now
one may correctly enough speak of the
present as the twin screw era in the his
tory of Atlantic navigation, when such
vessels as the Paris (Cty of, New York
(City off,, Majestic, Teutonic, Augusta
Victoria, Fuerst Bismarck, etc., are do
ing constant service. The twin screw
period was inaugurated in 1889 with
the four first named vessels, and at the
present time there are built and build
ing as many as So twin screw steamships
of over 5000 tons, the Lucania making
the sixteenth vessel to be produced Of
over 1000 tons..--Glasgow Citizen.

When the Buffalo Disappeared.

In 1876 Fort Benton alone sent $4,000
buffalo hides to market. In 1888 two
carloads were shipped from Dickinson,
North Dakota. In 1884 Fort Benton
sent none at all. In 1879 little band
of the animals were known to be graz
ing near Fort Totten, on Devil Lake,
North Dakota, and it is believed that
these animals furnished the two carloads
Of robes which came eastward to st.
Paul from Dickinson in 1888. This was
the last year of the buffalo--1S83. A
herd, numbering perhaps $4,000, crossed
the Yellowstone river in that year and
went north toward the British line
"They never came back" is the pitiful
refrain which one hears from the In
dams along the border from Winnipeg
In Manitoba to St. Mary's Lakes in Al
berta.
No, they never came back while rid
ing with the officers of the Nanadian
mounted police through Alberta, they
told me the story of this last year of the
buffalo, but it was never told twice alike
by any two men. for strange mystery
seems to hang over the closing scene Of
the great crime which annihilated the
mighty herds.-Hamlin Russell in Har-
per's.

Stealing In Bulk.

The novel charge of stealing house
and the furniture it contained, together
with sheep corral, load Of hay and
other sundries, and carting the whole
thing away, was preferred against a man
in Walla Walla, WASH, the other day.
He was formerly resident Of that town,
and year ago he took up a ranch ad-
joining a sheep farm in Yakima county.
The owner of the farm alleges that during
the absence Of his men the accused tore
down the house and the sheep corral and
removed them, together with the house
hold furniture, a ton of hay and other
things to his farm, on which he rebuilt
the house, putting the furniture into it.
The accused says it is a plot to get him

The Sad Story of an Easter Bonnet.

A Roxboro family was nearly bro
zen up by new Easter bonnet. The
feminine head of the family on Tuesday
evening purchased new headgear Of
gorgeous hues. trimmed with pansies,
apple blossoms and sweet little forget
menots. To surprise her husband, who
had retired when she returned home,
she placed the bonnet carefully on the
ideboard to gladden. his eyes when he
came down in the morning.
When he did come down stairs, the
husband caught the savory odors of fried
ham and the aroma of coffee. But he
had lost a collar button and his temper,
and he brought into the dining room q
rumpled and collarless shirt and terri
BILE scowl.
Never suspecting, the head of the house
held the flower garden up to his gaze,
saying, ''There, Jim, don't you think
ti.at's perfectly stunning?'
Jim's reply turned her sweetness into
bitterest gall, for he said, ''No, I don't,
nor do think much of you or any wom-
an that'll take q mans money and spend
1t for such trash!"
Upon the table was a dish containing
half dozen eggs ready for frying, but
they never reached the pan. BY way Of
accent to her sundry remarks she hurled
the eggs one after another with unerring
aim, and Jim's face soon looked like va.
riegated sunfower streaked with crimson
Jim pushed his wife aside, crumpled the
bonnet in his hands, wiped the gore and
broken eggs from his face and ther
kicked the stunning thing about the
floor.

where Asbestus Is Found.

Asbestus, which has come to be largely
utilized by electrical engineers, is one of
the most interesting substances employed
in the arts. Many new beds of this ma
terial are being discovered, but except
from the Canadian and Italian beds the
specimens secured are practically useless
for manufacture. Large quantities of
Aoss and powder asbestus are obtained
from the district Of the Susa valley,
Piedmont, and in the second district,
about 80 miles long, in the Aosta valley,
the deposits are said to be practically in
exhaustible. A third district, which Is
still more important, centers at Valtel-
lima, the route to which passes Milan and
Como to Colico. The Canadian deposits
are in the Black Lake district, between
Quebec and Sherbrooke.-New York

The RipIlf and Left.

The buttons ON coats, etc., are placed
on the right side and the shed of the
hair in boys to the left, evidently to suit
manipulation by the right hand. The
great philosopher Newton records that
at first he confined his astronomical OBJ
servations to his right eye, but after
ward he managed to train his left. But
there are persons who could not do this,
owing to the unequal strength of their
eyes. Strange to say, the Chinese assign
the place of honor to the left.
At Kunyenye, in Africa, Cameron re-
lates being introduced to the heir pre-
sumptive to the throne, the nails Of
whose left hand had been allowed to
grow to an enormous length as sign Of
high rank, proving that he was never re-
quired to perform manual labor, and
also providing him with the means of
tearing the meat which formed his usual
diet.-Chamhers' Journal.

Valuable Insects.

Perhaps there are few substances con-
tributed by animals to the materia med
ica Of greater value or more extensively
beneficial than certain species of insects.
OF these there are none more highly es-
teemed for medical purposes than those
beautiful, shining, green colored insects
known as blistering beetles, or cantha-
rides. Their corrosive action is so great
chat they frequently infame and excori-
ate the hands of those who collect them,
and on this property their chief medici-
nal virtue depends.
They are generally used in the form of
plasters or ointment, and in cases of vio-
lent visceral inflammation their exter-
nal use can scarcely be supplied by any
other medicine. Tons of these insects
are yeatly imported, principally from
southern Europe.-London Tit-Bits.
