The salaries paid by the banks OF

to those who conduct the affairs of

but is not the method of making good
losses due to mistakes and dishonesty
good one? It is a method to which
the stockholders of American banks
would raise no objection. The losses
of some OF the banks of this coun-
try, however, are sometimes so enor-
nous that it would take big tax or
long time to make them good by

IF the Bill Was Genuine.

Recently bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal church returned from tour
of the soath and made bis headquarters
at one of the big hotels uptown, says
the New York Tribune. TO those who
called upon him at the hotel he told a
funny story about his experience among
the negroes of the south. He went
down With party to one of tine FASH
ionable winter resorts along the coast.
One Sunday he was told of a service
that was to be held at colored Meth
odis. church several miles inland. 1t
was suggested that the party attend
these services, and accordingly car
riages we're ordered and the drive was
made. The rest of the story is best
told IN his owa language. He said :
.sWhen xe arrived at the church We
found that it vas to be sort of special
service to raise money to pay off q
church debt. They had recently erect
ed oew church and it vas only partly
paid for. The local bishop had been
summoned and great effort uas being
ade to get the money. When we
d taken our seats colored brother
came around and asked us if We would

"In the course of his remarks the
bishop dwelt upon the good work that
bad been done ia the name Of the Re-
deemer, aud called upon every one pres
ens to contribute something toward pay.
ing of the grea, debt that the church
had assumed in building new house
Of worship. He said that the debt was
Sl42.35. and thasis must be n,et. His
eloquent plea reached our hearts aud
We made up a little purse among our
selves and raised S100. The money
was hapdela to me, and !, @hen The plate
was handed around. laid crisp 500
bill 90 the plate.
.sWhi,e the money vas being count
ed song service was held. 1t vas
plainly evident to US that something
unusual was going on aud there vas a
subdued air of excitement among those
counting the money. Finally the bishop
stepped to the front and raised his
hand. The music ceased at once He
began to speak very gravely, and
imagine our as,ooisbment when he
said
."Bre,hreu We have met with
remarkable success 10 our efforts
to day We have received enough
money to paw off the debt, and q sur

bill which the gentleman from the
north gave Us is genuine. ;"

A Prize for Firemen.
Magnificent Championship Belt to
be Won at Atlanta.

ArLANra, Aug. 2l.-The $1,000
international championship gold belt
offered BY the Cotton States and
international Exposition for fremen's
races was received this morning from
the Baxmar Company. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly handsome belt, consisting
of nine shields of gold The central
shield is FIVE by six inches, surmount-
ed By the United States flag and
eagle in gold with diamonds to repre-
sent the stars of the States. On the
shield is the following inscription ::
"Internaiional championship belt for
hoee racing. Open to the world
offered by the Cotton States and
International Exposition Company of
Atlanta, Ga. =" On either side of this
central shield are four other shields,
each three by four inches in size, gar
nished with emeralds and rubies above
and below. The shields are joined
together by two gold chains. one at
the top and one at the bottom of the
shield, the whole forming magni-
fcent belt-one of the handsomest
ever seen in America This belt is
offered for hose racing to cover a dis.
tance of 800 yards. Chief Joyner of
the Atlanta fire department, who has
the contest in charge, proposes to
break the record in this race. The
run will have to be made, hose con-
nection made and water thrown in
less than SO seconds.

tons of the empire, and yet, until
recently, the president Of it was paid
onlv $50 in silver OF 81 in gold a
mo"ti for his services, while the
managers were paid $50 III silver Or
$50 in gold month each. 1t is true
there was system Of rewards
which, in some instances, brought
the pay of the salaried officials ny to
about $4,000 year.
Lately, it was decided to abolish
the rewards and pay larger salaries
The president ROW gets about $1,000
year, and the managers get CO..
siGerab'y less Some Of the en-
ployees get as low as Sc month
An interesting feature is the
banks method of proving against
losses by mistakes or dishonesty OF
tile officials. Each official and EN-
ployee is taxed 50 much per month
in proportion to bis salary, ard the
amount thus raised is fund out OF
which losses, due to the foregoing

WHISKY TRUST AFFAIRS.

Justice O'Brlen Denios Application for
Injunction to Restruin Sale OF seventeen
Distilleries.
New York, Aug. 13.-Justice O'Brien
in the supreme court today handed
down a decision denying the application
for an injunction to restrain the sale of
seventeen distilleries of tn. old whisky
trust which was to take place tomorrow
and the sale will be held as contem-
plated. The decision was rendered in a
suit brought by Frederick w. Anness
and George NJ. Pynchon, who own IL, 900
shares of the Distilling n Cattle Feed
ing company, commonly known as the
whisky trust, to enjoin the reorganiZa-
ton committee from purchasing the
seventeen distilleries of the trust, which
under decree of the courts of Illinois
are to be sold at auction in Chicago on
August IA.
In giving his opinion Judge O'Brien
said: TT cannot be assumed in advance
of the action of the committee that
they will proceed unlawfully. The ef-
feet of an injunction at the present time
would be to prevent the purchase by
the committee of property for which by
permission of the United States circuit
court, they have been allowed to bid.
Whatever other objectionable features
there may be in the plan. this right con-
ferred on the committee to purchase
n which has been sanctioned by the
United States u is unobjectionable.
1t is, moreover, important to the stock
holders that the property SHOULD not he
sacrificed and If, after purchasing, the
committee should attempt to reorganize
the former monopoly, the courts will
not hesitate to again interfere and pre-
vent it."

ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.
Complete Generalization of the IL,

Complete Decentralization of the Iluro
Coal Industry Thrsaten.d.
New York. Aug. 13.-The condition
Of the anthracite coal trade shows no
signs of Improvement, and the indiyid,
ual operators are inclined to believe
that If affairs are allowed to drift much
longer the complete Generalization OF
the coal industry will follow. The
market is overstocked with the acct
mulated output, and if the production
goes on at the same pace as during the
last few months, it is said the industry
Will experience a serious setback, and
prices will be lowered to such n ruinous
inquire that many of the coal companies
will be driven to the wall. There is not
a single interest hat is making money
at the present prices. 1t is not a uues-
ton of how much money the companies
are making, but how much they are
losing.
The individual operators, realizing
the gravity of the situation, and having
considered the refusal of the coal car
rying roads to limit the supply of an
thracite coal, have decided, it is said,
to place 1000, 900 tons of coal on the
market at a valuation of 50 a ton in
order to force the carriers to place some
restrictions upon the excessive output.
The local operators. however, hold that
the carriers could not be influenced by
any such a move OF the part of the in
dtvidua operators, and they say it is
not likely that such a plan will be
adopted.
The combined output of the collieries,
an operator says, is about 5000, 900 tons
of anthracite per month. which is equal
to 90, 900 tons for the year. All that
is needed for consumption is about
100000 per month. which shows that
the country could get along on a yearly
output of SO, 600, 0G0 to 40, 00O, 900 tons.
The coal sales agents, he said, We're al
SO to blame for the existing trade diff.
ficulties, as few of them cared to abide
by their agreements, and did not hest.
tate to violate the contracts made with
one another. AS long as the agitation
continues buyers will hold off with the
hope of getting cheaper coal. their ar.
gument being that prices will go still
lower If the differences are not ad.
justed.
Few of the companies are taking or
ders for delivery beyond September ]
at current prices. This precaution is
being taken for the reason that no one
cares to lay In a supply of coal only tt
see the prices go sliding off again. az
this would mean 10 end of financial
loss. There seems to be no fixed price.

and of free colleges and universities. A
demand is made for the absolute con
troll of all landed property including
forests, and of all water, gas and other

are for national systems of insurance.,
by which aged workingmen may be
saved from a pauper's fate, and aid

INSPECTOR BYRNfs' SCHEME

The Ex-New York Chief and Ex-Inspec'or
Mclaughlin to Establish "a Detective
Agency.
New York. Aug. 12.-What appears to
be a well founded rumor is circulated
that ex-Chief Byrnes and eN-Inspector
Mclaughlin have finally decided to es-
tablish a private detective a~gency-not
one of the usual ''pri,ate" concerns,
but an institution of International
scope. which will rival anything of the
kind now in existence.
Byrnes is reported to be worth nearly
81, 900. 900. He has an established repu-
tation as a fine detective in nearly
every civilized quarter OF the globe, He
rsfused an order of nobility from King
lambert. Even Queen Victoria.
through her ministers, more than once
thanked him for the capture of English
criminals. The sultan of Turkey Of
fered him an order, and his efforts to
run down criminals of high class
through his famous Wall street bureau
% him the friendship of Jay Gould.
the Nanderbilts and other money kings,
and incidentally put him in the way of
making a fortune.
Byrnes retired from his position as
the active head of the New York police
with the intention of settling down. He
went to his country home in New Jer-
sey on the Shrewsbury river, and has
lived very quietly for the past three
months. But this sort of life has palled
On him. He longs for the excitement
of an active career. He wants to get
back in harness again. There is no
probability of his return to power In the
police department, and the story goes
that he has entered into a partnership
with Mclaughlin to launch the private
detective enterprise. Many of the de-
tectives who served under Byrnes
when he vas inspector are now out.
Some of them are good men. All are
favorites of the ex-chief. Heidelberg,
Armstrong, Titus, McCluskey, Mangin
and other men who shared Byrnes'
fame when he stood at the head of the
detective bureau, would welcome a
chance to join hands with their former
chief again.
President Cleveland once offered to
make Byrnes chief of the secret SER
vice, but Byrnes refused because he
could not take all of these men with
him. 1t is said that his plan now is to
establish branches of his agency in
London, Berlin, Paris n all of the
large cities in this country.
