Teach Tho Boys Your Own Trade.

A good mechanic who has made
a success in his trade. and a good
living for his family, is usually
inclined to think that his own
business is not good enough for
his boys. 1t is usually his inten.
ton to educate his sons for what
he considers a higher position,
and TO place them on a higher
plane socially. Thisis a mistake
and bad one for the boys.
Young men starting out in life
almost always have a desire to
enter stores, as clerks. or &C.
cept clerkship in some bank.
There is no class of people who
work harder than the clerical

SEVERE STORM IN NEW YORK.
Ferryboats Compelled to Stop Running
On the Elevated Roads.

Eerryboats Compelled to Stop Running
On the Elevated Roads.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9-The worst snow
storm since the blizzard Of March II,
1855, started in and has continued unin-
terrupted up to the present time. Traffic
on surface street railways is much de.
layed and in consequence the elevated
roads are being taxed beyond their capac-
ity, under normal conditions, with that
capacity reduced two-thirds by the storm,
the delay is most annoying. Trains were
running twenty and twenty-five minutes
apart and as they stopped at the station
the cars were SO full that in some in
stances the gates could not be opened and
no one could get in. Women were pulled
out over the railings, but hundr eds of
people were carried by their stations.
Men not only filled all the platforms
but clung on outside the railing of the
rear platforms, in peril of being thrown
of at the curves. On the North and East
rivers, where the storm had q clear sweep
and where the running cakes of ice added
to the danger the ferry boats stopped rum
ming when the storm was at Its fiercest.
They made half hourly trips during the
night and just before dawn stopped run
ming altogether. The greatest danger
was experienced in the ice cakes in the
river. The slips were filled with ice and
a boat could not reach her dock without
considerable delay.

EXPLANATION OF THE TRANSACTION
Law Under Which the Deal Was Made
Features of the Business.

Law Under Which the Deal Was Made
Features of the Business.
The bond transaction referred to in the
Presidents message, strictly speaking is
not sale of bonds for gold, but apurchase
of gold to be paid for in bonds. The issue
was not made under the authority
granted by the resumption act, but under
section 500 of the revised statutes, which
reads as follows: 1.-The secretary of the
treasury may purchase coin with any of
the bonds OF notes of the United States
authorized by law at such rates and upon
such terms as he may deem most advan-
tayeous to the public interests"
The contract was made with August
Belmont 4 Co.. of New York, on behalf
of n. NJ Rothschild 4 Sons, of London,
and themselves and J. p. Morgan & Co,
G New York, on behalf Of j. 5. Morgan
* Co, of London. and themselves, and
provides for the delivery to the United
States of 1900. 600 ounces of standard gold
coin of the United States to be paid for
in United States 4 per cent. bonds. A
large number of other banks and finan-
cial institutions arc interested in the
transaction, but their names are not men-
toned in the contract itself.
The agreement on the part of Morgan
and Belmont to use their best endeavors
to prevent gold from being withdrawn
from the treasury was understood to
mean that no part of the gold bargained
for should either directly or indirectly be
taken from the treasury, and therefore it
Is fully believed that the reserve will be
augmented by the full amount of gold
purchased.

WASHINGTON Feb 9-Affairs in Hawaii

Minister Willis to Secretary Gresham.
dated Honolulu, Jun. 80. wired from San
Francisco Feb. 6, saying after brief
reference to the recent rebellion" in
which three persons We're hurt more or
less: "Court-martial convened on the 18th;
has tried thirty-eight cases; 300 or more to
be tried and daily arrests; Gulick, former
minister, and Seward, minister and major
general Of the army, both Americans, and
Rickard, Englishman, sentenced to death;
all heretofore prominent in politics"
Further the minister says that I. b.
Walker has been sentenced to imprison-
ment for life and 500 fine. ''Other
sentences not disclosed, but will probably
be death. Have requested copies of the
record for cur government to determine
its duty before final sentence, but have
received no answer yet. There is bitter
feeling and threats of mob violence, which
the arrival of the Philadelphia yesterday
may prevent"
In response to the above Secretary
Gresham addressed the following tele-
gram to Minister Willis: If American
citizens were condemned to death by a
military tribunal, not for actual partici-
patton in reported revolution, but for COM
plicity only or il condemned to death by
such tribunal for actual participation.
bus not after open, fair trial, with oppor-
tunity for defense, demand delay of exc
cution, and in either case report to you,

When these facts were read in the sem
ate the men who are advocating a cable
made remarks about how easy 1t would
be to stop this if we only had a cable and
nearly shed tears when it was intimated
that Gresham's dispatch would have to go
to Honolulu on British ship A few
days ago when discussing the Hawaiian
rebels some of the members of congress
thought that t. follow the practice of the
"most civilized nations" and hang some
OF the rebels would be about the right
thing. None Of the senators could have
had such thoughts unless it might De
Morgan.
For nearly all the speakers declared the
execution must be stopped One Of the
men to die-Seward-was well known to
Hawley and he said it was ridiculous to
charge him with this conspiracy. What
made it barely possible that Morgan was
one of those who thought a little death
would be well in Hawaii was the fact that
he came out plumply with the statement
that he would have more respect for
Hawaii if she shot traitor than If she
forgave him. The talk drifted into the
lenicncy of the north at the end of our
own little unpleasantness'' and the mat
ter was finally laid aside.

OUTGO OF GOLD ARRESTED,
But the Outlook for Business Shows Little
No Improvement.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9-R. G. Dun S Com
rany's weekly review of trade says: For
"a whole week the confident expectation Of
the sale of bonds has keep back exports

amounted to about S2,o0o,U0J, but were
mainly for domestic purposes. No bond
bill has passed or is likely to pass con-
gress, and in the two months ended with
Feb. l the treasury actually lost S61, 600,
30 in gold, of which SO, 400, coo went into
circulation and S26, 10000 besides the
product of the mines, went abroad. To
arrest this outgo in either direction is a
problem which another issue of bonds may
probably solve.
The condition of industries if not def
nitely better at least presents some points
of encouragement. No advance in the
prices of manufactured products indicates
a better demand On the contrary iron
and steel products have slightly declined
for the week and for the month, and in
comparison with prices of October, 1s.O,
are but 81 per cent, against 81 5 per cent
