The Rev. DR.. NJ. s. Culbertson. the em-
inent Presbyterian missionary, who died
IN China in 1862, when less than so wears
old, was a graduate of West Point Mill
tary Academy in the distinguished class
or 1889. But he preferred the arts of
peace and the service of God to the arts
or war and the service of his country, and
lmpelled by a Christian brothers earnest
prayers, he resigned from the army and
became a Jealous missionary in China.
Luckily, mis- military education became
valuable to him in protecting American
interests at Shanghai during the Taep-
ing rebellion. This fact led the American
minister to remark: Brother Culbert-
son, If you were at home you might be
major general"

newton, Van Vliet, Toner Reynolds and
Lyon, this devoted soldier of Christ was

passing away was almost unnoticed out

gone out Of the New York banks TO the
west during the week. "a greater amount,
in fact than would have been the case
under normal conditions. Chicago called
lar large balances, and the demand from
the south and other western points was
very heavy. The movement In cash to-
ward the Interior was therefore heavy and
greatly oveTbalanced the interior receipts
The exact loss on this movement cannot
be determined definitely, but enough Is
known TO FhOW that the Withdrawals
represented legitimate business demands,
rather than Withdrawals caused by senti-
