Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 1S.-Local buliish
sentiment was in control of the wheat
market this morning, little of that
grain being for sale, whilst the de-

1,143 last Friday and 1, 154 a year ago.
Export clearances were liberal at
421 ,03S bushels.

morrow 275 ears.
Oats derived benefit from the gen

Police Deny the Rumor-Amount Of Defalca-
ton Not Yet Made Known.

Boston, Dec 23.-Interest in the case
of Frank G. Miles, the defaulting treas
urer of the Boston Safe Deposit and
Trust company, remains undated. A
report last night was to the effect that
Miles had come back to Boston, and that
matters had been settled.
The police deny this vigorously. They
say Mr.. Miles Is not in Boston, and that
II would now be impossible to have. the
matter fixed up, inasmuch as the
brokerage firms with whom Miles Is
alleged to have pledged securities, and
who have been cited into court by the
Trust company, would not consent to
any such proceeding.
No definite statement as to the amount
of the defalcation has yet been given
out by the company. 1t Is alleged that
IL Mr.. Miles transactions had been dis
covered a year or SO ago the deficiency
would have been very much larger, as
recent transactions being successful en-
abled him to replace many borrowed
securities.

CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY.
The Venerable Building That Marks the
birthplace of Christ.

birthplace of Christ.
We return in time TO see the procession
of bishops priests and people that is form
ing in the square in front Of the church.
Each is dressed in his most gorgeous robes.
Turkish soldiers line both sides OF she
street to keep the way open for the process
sion to pass. The Latin patriarch OF Je-
rusalem has Just arrived. The procession
of priests, carrying banners and immense
candles, meets him, then turns, and all go
into the Latin chapel through the main
entrance Following, we are surprised to
find the main entrance so small. 1t can
admit but one at q time, and that one
must stoop to enter. From the masonry
it can be seen that the entrance was once
much larger. The reason for the change
was that the Mohammedans at one time
did all In their power to injure and annoy
the Christians, and even used to ride on
horseback into the very church. The door
therefore, was made small to protect the
church from this sacrilege.
Once inside, we see we are In very an
cient structure. Part of the masonry dates
from the time Of Constantine, who built a
magnificent basilica on this site about tho
year $50 of our era All we can see of the
oldest work. however, probably dates from
not later than Justinian's time, about $50
A. D. In any case, the church Is n vener-
able building, and it has witnessed some
stirring scenes. In it Baldwin the cru
sader was crowned king Of Jerusalem. 1t
has been repaired number of times, and
once, when it needed new roof, King
Edward w Of England gave the lead to
make one. This was about the year 1882
The lead roof did good service for about
200 years, and might have lasted much
longer had not the Mohammedans melted
it up to make bullets. However, another
roof was soon provided.
Inside the building consists of a nave
and double aisles The aisles are separated
by two rows of columns made of red lime
stone These columns have plain bases
and are surmounted by Corinthian capi-
tails. They are 10 feet high, and at the top
of each a cross Is engraved The church is
now owned by the Latin, Greek and Ar
menian Christians. Edwin S. Wallace in

70 Retire SNAIL sILLs.

We have received a copy of Senator
Shoup's bill, for the retirement of all
bills under the denomination Of $1,000.
tits said the Senator has secured the
promise of support from eastern Rep
ublican senators, Its terms are simple.
It provides for the retirement Of all
paper money of denominations less
than $1,000. The secretary of the
treasury is directed, whenever and as
often as such notes shall be received at
the treasury, to cancel the same.
The amount of currency in Circula
tion below the denomination of $40 is
1928 100000, equal to about one.sixth
OF the total amount Of currency Of
every sort,
Most Of this, except as silver certii-
Gates is in So bills. OF greenbacks
there are 100000 in ones and twos,
of Sherman notes, Sf3000,000 are in
ones and twos, and of silver certificates
$29,OO0,0OO ones, $l5,OOO,OOO twos and
S93OOO0oO fives. Comparatively few
bank notes below the denomination of
five have been, issued, $525,G00 being
the gross amount. The passage Of the
ShOup bill would mean the retirement
Of 1928, 100000 in paper money, with
the result that siiyer,.as the only avail
able substitute, would fill the vacuum.
The government in times past, has
adopted many devices to keep silver in
scirOulation, butshave failed.
The device retiring all small bills
as means of forcing silver into cir
culation has often been suggested, that
Is the, policy now pursued by England.
and France, where bills are only in
large denominations and where silver
Is all the minor circulation. The sug-
gestion has never been adopted in this
county, because as a people we have
always shown a marked preference
for paper money and politicians have
feared to run counter to this prejudice.

BAROMETER on LIE rIMEs.

The following is from the pen of a
convict, man who is wearing stripes
perhaps the Ohio penitentiary,
but when lie penned the article he
showed that his head was level; that he
has learned something that thousands
outside the walls do not know, and
seem incapable oflearning:
"Thegreat barometer of the times is
not gold nor silver nor precious metal,
but iron The price Of this humble metal
indicates prosperity or adversely as it
rises, or falls; more quickly and more
surely than any other commodity.
This is because it is the essential ser
want Of everybody in this age which,
has APPLY enough been styled the iron
age and the steel age. From the
humble nail in the wall to the imposing
suspension bridge that spans wide riv-
ers and deadly deep canyons, from the
wire that binds bouquet TO the levia-
than an eighth of mile long that
plows the deep with grim contempt for
storm and Oillow, from palace to prison,
from home to workshop, from one
point of the industrial horizon to the
opposite; iron is the master and mist.
ress Of the world, When the price of
iron ore rises it means work for the
moulder, for the machinist, for every
body that with Drawn or brain adds to
the worlds wealth and the peoples
health with honorable toll. When iron.
is not In demand its price falls, and,
when that'occnrs, when nohody wants
iron, commerce. is stopped and the ma
tton is at a standstill, looking fearfully
back at the savage state from which it
has fOughtftsway to civilization. Iron
soon rusts and when a nation no longer
uses 1t barbaTism takes possession, re.
serving from the wreck only enough of
the metal for weapons Of the chase and
Of war. The most encouraging sign of
the improved present times is found in
the advance of the price of pigi iron. 1t
rose 20 cents within three DAYS after
the election"

When hog gets an ear of corn, every

THE sENAroRsHlP

ADAM AULBACII, editor of the Wal
lace Press, and the leading Populist in
the Cgur -d'Alenes, in discussing the
senatorial question. says:
"The action of Captain Gum on the
senatorial question looks very suspic-
ious. 1t seems that as far as The Sent
incl is concerned, lie has no choice, but
privately, it is claimed, he has his knife
up his sleeve, to plunge into Clagget.
This would not be at all surprising.
The old war horse has good opinion
of himself, and he may be looking a.
head. All the leading Populists fear
Clagget for some reason or other, and
such men ]. Ed. Smith of Idaho Falls,
and N. NJ. Ruick of Boise, would suit
the Captain better, as they would not
Overshadow the congressman in abil-
ity, while Clagget would be Washing
ton monument alongside of the doughy
Captain, but as the Democrats, who are
in majority over the Populists in the
great andunholy combine, will not sup
port such men as Ruick and Smith, or
even Clagget somebody else is going to
get the senatorship- The Democrats
are not compelled to drink at the Pop
ulist trough, though they are held up
to it, Senator Dubois will 60 into the
fight with % solid silver men, and per-
haps three Democrats who were sup
ported by the Silver Republicans, which
would give him 81 votes. Only five
more votes will elect him. Can he Sc
cure these from the Democrats, who
wonld not vote for an Objectionable
Populist? The sum and substance of
legislative complexion is, matters are
very much mixed, and it is extremely
doubtful if a senator will be elected.
The Democrats have the winning hand
as straight Democrats, but if they bend
the neck to the Populist Yoak they lose
their indemnity. We desire to see
senator elected as soon as possible, and
we trust it will be on the first ballot"
