in great, serpentine movements, and
from all directions rushed toward CON-

TO exist. AT the same time eavy sub

ON THE FINANCES.
Hon w. w. Grape Speaks for the New Bed.
ford Board of Trade.

New Bedford, Mass, Januay IA. THE
Board of Trade today voted TO adopt the
report on the nations finances prepared
its committee on public affairs, and to
send a copy to the State Board of Trade.
Mr.. Grape says: "The present uondi-
ton of the national treasury forcibly ex-
hibits the weakness ana inadequaoy Of
the financial system under which We are
acting. The paper money issued by the
United States and for which tho govern
ment is directly responsible, Independent
of the national bank note circulation,
consists of legal tender greenback
notes, treasury notes under the Sherman
act and Bland silver certificates, rggre-
eating about 1916. 100000 The govern.
ment has undertaken to keep this amount
of demand notes in circulation as money
| and maintain them on a par with gold
| The gold reserve of 800, 000, 900, deemed
sufficient for the protection of 1916. 900,
COO in greenbacks, proves insufficient
when tho added burden of certificates
based on deprecated Silver is indirectly
forced. upon it, and the result is a constant
ly diminishing reserve, which has been
aggravated by the defcienoe OF revenue
| to meet current expenses The only re.
lief under present. legislation is through
the sale OF interest bearing bonds which,
while necessary and unavoidable ex.
pedient. is vicious and expensive, and
| involves an indefinite repetition Of the
redemption of legal tender notes when
presented Their permanent Retirement
appears the simple and natural way out
OF the ditfiulty. As long as these notes,
by Il compulsory law, are forced into cir.
culation in full volume, the treasury
| must stand ready to redeem them with
gold as often as presented and, by means
| OF these notes, the treasury is obliged te
furnish gold Tor exchanges and the balance
of trade, a burden which properly dc
wolves upon ban kers rather than upon the
government. The apprehension that the
| retirement of the United States notes viii
| involve a contraction of the currency
Thereby impaiiing values and impeding

| bank note, during the past thirty years
has proved itself worthy and gained tn,
confidence Of the people. Tt can be mad,
still more secure, and its usefulness cal
be greatly extended, while the demand

laws, are a constant menace to business

CITIES FRIGHTENED.
The Cuban Insurgents Keep Them In a
Turmoil.

New York, January 1.-THE journal
this morning prints the following under
Havana date line:
Conflicting reports regarding the
plans of Gomez continue to come in.
Only this morning the Spaniards reioioed
when, from an apparently reliable source,
the news came that the province of Ha.
vana was being deserted by the insur.
gents; that, frightened by the over.
whelming and better equipped troops. the
armies Of Gomez. Maceo and Quintin
bandez were retreating toward the cas-.
tern district. where they intended to CON,
tinue their harrassing tactics.
But tina bottom was knocked out Of
this story this afternoon when it was
full in burning the town of Managua
only fifteen miles from the capital, and
that the colored captain of the volun.
teers who attempted to defend the town,
was killed. Nor has Gen. Mace fled.
He is reported to have his headquarters
now at Hoyo, on the Pinar del Rio
boundary line.
That Gen. Campos is thoroughly aware
Of the advantageous position of the rebels
is evinoed by the fact that he hurriedly
collected the flower of his army in the
western part of the island. There is nc
doubt now that the governments scheme
is to force big fight in the near future
by oornering the rebel armies in the mar
rowest strip Of the island Immediately
below Havana.
The city was startled tonight by anoth.
or loud explosion. 1t occurred at 73O In
the outskirts, but fortunately no fatal
tiles resulted. Either rebel sympathizerf
or mischieyous persons had placed an oil
can filed with powder on a vacant lot
and had managed to ignite it at safe
distance.
Official reports OF the Celba battle,
near Guanajsy, now concede heavy Loss
of men on both sides-altogether ons
hundred soldiers were killed.
The insurgents were defeated at Guira
de Melina. Gen. Echaue, commanding
the Spanish troops, dislodging then
from the positions they had taken in tn,
town. a Cuban flag. placed on the towl
hall by the patriots, was riddled will
shot and th Q small band put to flight

RATTLEsNAKE WINE.

a viruicnt Poison as Anttdotc tor
Leprosy.
Benjamin Goosch in his "Medi-
cal and Surgical Observations"
published in 1771, gives a sum
mary of different ancient therap-
cutie methods based on the use of
animal poisons. One of his OBJ
servations relates to a case of
severe pain, spasms, etc, of long
duration. Gooch says, after speak
ing of the patients suiferings:
"Not to appear inhuman to SO
wretched a being, after telling
him / could do nothing L sent
him bottle of rattlesnake wine,
to take a glass Of frequently. This
was in the West Indies drank as
the highest cordial. Three nights
after the patient walked in. Sir
said he, you cannot be so much
amazed as l am, nor half so much
pleased; [ am come to thank you
and, IL not criminal, to worship
YOU " ,Gooch's account OF how
he learned the virtues of rattle
snake wine is as follows: "A very
wealthy old gentleman in the
West Indies had long been afflict-
ed with leprosy to g high degree
which was deemed incurable by
his physicians. Apparently in a
dying state he made his will, leav-
ing large legacy to female SER
want who had lived with him many
years. This circumstance being
known to the servant, she and her
paramour studied and contrived
how to make away with him in
such a manner as to raise suspi-
cion. They put the heads of rat
tlesnakes into the wine he drank,
thinking it would prove an infalli-
BILE poison ION the contrary, he grew
better, and the criminals, imagin-
ing the poison was not strong
enough, added more snake venom,
whereby The gentleman was re-
stored to perfect health. Cons
cience finally put this servant
upon her knees before her master,
confessing her crime. Forgive
ness was granted, and the old gen
tleman gave, her a sum of money,
ordering her to depart and never
see him more"

Facts About a Watch

ga watch balance gives five
vibrations every second, 300 every
minute, $4,000 every hour, 432, 900
every day, 157, 100000 every year.
At each vibration it rotates about
/ times, which makes 1877, 100000
revolutions every year. In order
that we may better understand the
stupendous amount of labor per.
formed by these tiny works, let
US make a pertinent comparison.
Take for illustration a locomotive
with six foot driving wheels. Let
its wheels be run until they have
given the same number Of revolu'
ton that a watch does in one
year, and they will have covered a
distance equal to twentyLeight
complete circuits of the earth"

powers your tiny little ma
chine has; and how little at
tention you give 1T until it has
refused to go further. Tired
out" The accumulation of old
oil, particles of DIRT, so minute
you can't see it, have so added
to its burdens, that it refuses
to go further. Now is the
time to send it to a watch

will no longer 60 as it should.

THISTLE FAREWELL.
Scotch banquet In Honor orDeparting
Brithers.

There was good attendance at
the Scottish Thistle Club yester-
day evening, when the special
business was to take leave of
Thomas Lindsay, a past chief,
who leaves by the Australia
next Saturday for Scotland. 1t
having been learned that Alex.
Wallace, a member of the club.
was leaving by the $. $. Monowai
then due, he was also made a
guest of the evening. After open
ing good of the club" was made
the sole order of business. There
was an abundant layout of Scotch
oatcake, scenes and shortbread,
which, together with =" Scotch
cream" and temperance beverages,
was handed round by the stewards
at seasonable intervals. The
national bakes were the
handiwork of the secretary's
gudewife Mrs. Thomas Black
and were pronounced per-
feet by Caledonian gourmsnds.
Arch. &. Steele, chief, i'll appro-
pirate terms gave an opening adj
dress of farewell to the departing
members, and others made suit
able remarks later in the same
connection. A dozen of the Scots
responded to calls for the "auld
sangs," and Chester Doyle,
the only permanent guest of
the club, let his fine voice be
heard more than once, venturing,
and with great success, upon a
standard ballad of the land o.
cakes. He was rewarded with a
hammock. Messrs. Lindsay and
Wallace replied in cordial terms
to the good wishes OF the meeting,
heartily wishing the club success
in their absence. 1t was one of
the most pleasant socials held in
the history of the club.
