The Carlisle Amendments.

Representative Springer, says a
Washington dispatch, makes public
the following summary, intended
as popular explanation of the cur
rency bill as modified by the late
Carlisle amendments:
SIN the first place." said Mr..
Springer, "tbe Carlisle bill pro-
poses a radical change in the man
ner of securing the bank note cir
cuIation. The rapid payment of
the public debts, the limited num-
Der of bonds now outstanding and
the further fact that many. of them
are held in trust capacities in this
country, and as permanent invest
ments by persons residing abroad,
have rendered the kind of security
now required impracticable. The
Carlisle bill proposes for security
of the circulating notes of the ma
tional banks, instead of United
States bonds, a guarantee fund con
sisting of legal tender notes or cur
rency certificates to the amount of
30 per cent of the circulation ap
piled for; also safety fund to be
raised by a tax of one-half of per
cent per annum upon the Cir
culating notes until it reaches :
per centum of the whole circulation
and, as further security, a first
lien upon all the assets Of the bank
and upon the amount which may
be realized by the double liability
feature of the national banking law
"The guarantee fund Of 80 per
centum, the assets of the bank and
the personal liability Of the stock.
holders can only 60 to the pay
ment of the circulating notes OF the
bank which issues them, but the 5
per cent guarantee fund raised by 9
tax upon all the circulation of thl
country is q common fund out Of
which the notes of any failed bank
may be paid, if the guarantee fund
the assets and personal liabilities
Of the stockholders are not suffi
cient.. Thus, on circulation o
s200,000,000, the present nationa
bank circulation, the safety funC
would amount to S10,000,000, anC
this whole fund could be drawn upor
to pay the notes of any bank tha
failed. This security is considered
ample by the safest fnanciers ant
bankers of the country.
"The currency bill as amended
does not compel national banks tc
enter the new system. They may
continue under the old law, but i
is thought that the banking Officials
will soon see the advantage Of thu
new plan and adopt it."

The Oldest Apple Tree.

The decayed stump is all that re.
mains of the famous 'mother tree"
the oldest known specimen of the
Rhode Island greening. A few rods
southwest of the old limekiln on the
northern verge of Fruit hill, on
Frederick W. Winsor's farm, stands
a younger tree. Mrs. Winsor's great
great-grandfather, Nehemiah Smith,
planted the mother tree, of which
the other is limb wrenched while
loaded with fruit from the parent
stock, during King George II.'s
reign, in HAS, and was therefore
141 years old when it was cut down
in 1SS9-90s land its;life from the seed
must be nearly $50 years, says the
Providence Journal.
The present tree, the Hdaughter
tree" so-called, lis a limb of the
mother trunk and was broken off in
the September gale Of 1915, and
which, from an elbow thrust into
the moist, rich soil, took root and
became independent. F. M. Perry
of Canandaigua, N. Y, a famous
nurseryman and pomologist, pro
hounced the fruit of these trees the
finest Of the greening family, and
procured hundreds of scions from
the stock to introduce into New
York and the middle states.
Last year the younger tree bore
about ten bushels Of the finest quail
ity ofapples, and bids fair to breast
the storms If many q winter yet tc
|come.

charged with the brutal murder Of Mrs.
Winslow Shearman and her daughter, Mrs.
Cynthia Davis, In December last. The two
women were killed In the day time whiis
they were alone at the Shenrman house,
the remainder Of the family having gone
to attend funeral. Their heads were
crushed with some blunt instrument.
There was no evidence Of robbery, and
the motive of the crime was a mystery.
Charles Douglass was neighbor Of the
Shearmans. His peculiar conduct since
the murder caused him to be placed under
surveillance A search of his premises re-
suited in the discovery OF coupling pin
which might have been used to commit
the crime and other evidence Of an In
eliminating nature.

feature yesterday of the trial of the Mar
quis de Nayve for the murder of his step
son was the appearance in tho witness box
OF the marquise, his wife. The victim Of
the alleged murder was her natural son,
born before her marriage to the marquis.
She testified to numerous instances of
murderous brutality on the part Of the
prisoner towards her children, and she as
serted that her consequent fears of q violent
death prompted her to bring the charge Of
murder against her husband The counsel
for the defense read an affectionate letter
written by the marquise to the prisoner a
fortnight after she had lodged against him
the charge of murder. The reading of tho
letter caused revulsion Of feeling In favor

Sofia, Nov. LIN the speech from the

sobranje, Prince Ferdinand did not refer
to the baptism Of his son, Boris, In the Or

Storloff has resigned. Prince Boris, who

reported that his father, in order to win
the support Of Russia, proposed to have
Prince Boris baptized in the Greek faith.

OF Austria, was much offended at the prop.

addition to the now navy of the United

trial yesterday, and although tho result

hours or more, 1t Is believed the Anal Of

better than the seventeen knots required
by the government. This vessel has ex-
cited unusual interest for the reason that
she is unique among the nayies Of the
world, and tho fact that she Ia purely an

usual uncertainty to tho result OF her trial.
