The stock OF gold in the United States

dollars below the reserve. The drain on
the gold holdings is almost rs bad as II

The loss is Tue to the falling OF In the

for reckless appropriations handed down
TO us from the last administration
In any man so ignorant as not to know
that the falling off in customs receipts is
wholly due to the delay in action on the
Tariff bill? Can any one be idiotic enough
to suppose that the business OF the coun-
try and the receipts OF revcnue will In
crease while uncertainty prevails as to
what Congress will eventually do with
the tariff? Are people going to rush into
trade with their eyes shut and without
knowing at what moment they are going
to dash their heads against n wall?
The Senate is responsible for the delay.
II is to the Senate's non-action that all
the evils under which we are suffering
are due. The infamy OF the policy OF the
Senators is made worse by the known
fact that It Is induced by selfish and cor

ARONsONs HOLD THE CASINO.
Judge Dugro's Decision Handed
Down This Morning.
This Verdict Does Not Affect the
Ownership Of the Ground.

When the theatrical season opens this
Fal the Casino, the home of comic
opera, will again be under the control
OF the Aronson brothers.
This Is in accordance with an order
signed by Judge Dugro, Of the Superior
Court, this morning, n was predicted
In THE Evening World' Of last Friday.
Under Judge Dugro's order the Re-
ceivers of the New York Concert Com
pany are permitted to lease the Casino
to William Henry Hall for one year
from Nov. 1 next for $4,000 a year.
which Is the price paid by Canary &
Lederer, the present %lessees.
Mr.. Hall is the representative of the
bondholders and Is also President Of
the Casino Club. which was organized
by the Aronsons.
The Club already has 500 members,
who, besides having free admission to the
theatre, are to have certain other club
privileges.
1t Is generally understood tina be-
sides being the representative OF the
bondholders Mr.. Hall represents the
Aronson brothers, and that they will
again be in control OF the theatre with
which they were 30 long identified.
In his order Judge Dugro stipulates
that nothing in II Is to be construed
as Affecting the rights OF Robert l..
Bixby, the owner OF the ground on
which the theatre stands, and who has
Il claim for unpaid taxes.

THE EARLY EXCUSE AND THE souIRM.

yigilant is now skimming the deep
blue sea in jaunty style. Her PROV is
pointed proudly towards the English
coast and she is ripping along at nine
knots an hour, impatient to reach the
course where she seems confident that
another trophy awaits her. She cuts
the Atlantic like a winner. and we hope
that she will continue to be the Joy and
pride of all Americans. no matter what
cutter or sloop she encounters or the
other side.
Englishmen seem to see defeat In the
distance for their crack yachts. Fault
finding has begun already. An English
publication that Is accorded some au-
thority in these matters is insisting that
Vlgilant Is too light In the hull and car
ries too much sail. besides being in
other way designed and equipped for
cup-winning. 1t doesn't say that she is
too fast a boat In exactly these words,
but that Is what It says all the same.
What a shame that America should
send a frst-class yacht across to COM
pete with the British boats! still, we
are doing 80. We think. however. that the
English yachtsmen have begun to make
their excuses too early. Why not wait
until the races are run and then hold the
weather responsible for the result.
That's what they did when valkyrie
was beaten. 1t need not make any diff
ference whether the weather Is good or
bad. It will be bad enough to blame II

they undoubtedly will.

enough to get them soaking wet, and

would do II left without care: First. wipe

water n mud. Then. while still damp.
rub we'll with kerosene oil. using the
happy side OF cantor flannel. They
should then be set aside in q room Of
FORMAL temperature till partially dry.
when they are given another treatment
with the oil. and allowed to dry in a
warm room til. all traces of dampness
have disappeared. They are then gone
yer with French kid dressing. and once
moro rubbed with flannel. still slightly
damp with the kerosene. This gives a
fine soft finish. and almost entirely re-
moves all traces of the serious soaking.

INDIANS SEE THE WORLD"
Chiefs, squaws and Papooses Take
Their First Elevator Ride.
Badly Scared, but Grunts Were Their
Only Observations.

From the dome Of 1.-THE world'' Build
Ing this morning a number of the In
dians with Buffalo Bill's Wild West
show surveyed the lower part OF the

to have sold to white men for s24.
In the delegation were Chiefs No
Neck. Rocky Bear, Spotted Tail. Jr.,
and his wife and child: Yankton Charlie.
Brave Bird and Flat Iron. the medi-
cine man. and Little Money. the six
year-old son OF Brave Bird.
No Neck Is the chief oof chiefs in the
camp over at Ambrose Park, and he
was the only one who before to-day
had been in the dome OF the Pulitzer
Building. He had told his fellow red
men. however. of the wonderful view
to be had from It and suggested the
visit his morning.
Some of the red men had never be-
fore been In a building so high that an
elevator was used to reach the top. and
when the dome to which they were
going was pointed IL from the street
they told Major G.. G.. Crager In their
red language that 1t was too high to
walk.
He convinced them. however, that the
trop would be easily made, and when
the group was huddled together in the
elevator they all looked mystitied, but.
with true Indian stoicism, asked no ques-
tons.
They were still silent while the ele-
vator was speeding upward, and even
Little Money did nothing but clutch his
fathers buckskin trousers. while all the
chiefs seemed to be wondering II 1t was
a trip to The Happy Hunting Ground
they were making.
The first thing Flat Iron and No Neck
did when they reached the dome was to
speak of the little people below"

Nelson. the old scout, who rides on the
caoch.

PATIENT A SUICIDE.
Frank Jacobs Shot himself in
Bellevue Hospital.
In a Crowded Ward, Yet the Report
Attracted No Attention.
How Did He Get the Pistol Which
He Used

Frank A. Jacobs. a machinist. sixty
nine years of age. who formerly lived
at q Delaney street, committed suicide
In Bellevue Hospital. where he was
under medical treatment, by shooting
himself through the head with a s.
calibre Colts revolver this morning.
The circumstances surrounding the
case are peculiar in a number Of ways.
In a large public institution like Belle
vue II is unusual for patients to have
loaded revolvers in their possession.
Jacobs shot himself at o'clock. II
was 4.3O o'clock before the nurse in
charge OF the ward discovered the oc-
c%urrence. and 1t was 8 o'clock before
Warden O'Rourke was notified. The
nam OF the nurse is withheld by the
warden. who says he fails to see that
ne Is In n way to blame.

tuition at all It would probably have been

Warden O'Rourke, who A, the sole cen-
ire OF Information at Bellevue, said:
you may think It peculiar that no one
heard the shot fired by Jacobs, but It
thunder storm was raging at the time.
He, probably fired during a hunder clan
and the sound Of the pistol shot was lost

not make much noise, you know"

the shooting. He found Jacobs dead"

No; I think he died instantly"
when were you notif1ed?"
morning, That's rather early for me to
get up. I've been waiting ever since for
Of Jacobs's friends to show up, but
none of them has appeared"
How do you account for his having a
revolver in his possession?"
Il simply don't account for It. Jacobs
was not a prisoner. and was not
searched for weapons Of any kind. He
had been out of the hospital. and had
friends to visit him."
when was he out last7"
About a year ago. I can't say where
he got the pistol. I presume he killed
himself because of despondency over the
Of his case. The bullet
went through his left temple. I don't
think he lived many minutes after II
fired"
Jacobs's body was removed to the hos
pital morgue. The revolver was turned
over to the police.
