After an extended trip lasting several
months and embracing many points OF in

home q few days ago. He is bright and
genial as ever and looks as if his long holt

Mr.. Lockhart's business during his travels
took him frequently to Hot springs and
other health resorts. He does not appear to
have been very favorably impressed with
the peculiarit:es Of life at such places, nor
with the benefits received by the patients.

NATIONAL BANKS.


Ccuaptroller Eckels Declares There Need
BE No Fear About Them.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2l-From reports
received at the treasury department
there seems to be general apprehension
throughout the country as to the con-
dition of banks and banking institu-
tions. Despite the many bank failures
recently. Comptroller Eckels believes
that with judicious management on
the part of the bankers there need be
no fear with regard to the national
banks of the country. He has issued
statement, in which he says:
The national banks of the country are in .
very good condition The experience of 1883 is
still fresh in the minds of the bankers, and, as
a result, the reserve is far above the average
In the year 1895 there was a decided decrease
in the specie and legal tender notes held by
rational banks. owing to loans and discounts
The specie held by the banks on October 2,
1894. which amounted to 1927 251.6'4. decreased
until September. 1895. when it amounted to
only s1e5, 1881, the smallest amount held at
any reported date since July IL. 1898, when the
amount was was sIs6. 76i, 113 Since that time
it has gradually increased, until it now
amounts about $3.50. 600, 900
A like decrease also occurred in the amount
of legal tender notes and United States certif-
Gates of deposit held by national banks during
the same period. On October H. 1884, the legal
tender and United States certificates of de-
posit aggregated sl65,6i4O23, but by Septem-
Der. 1895, they had decreased to sIs3. 3666 In

money reserve held since July II, 1898, when it
amounted to 1899, 254 80. Since September.
1895, the banks have been calling in their
loans. until the reserve to-day is approx

Reflections of a BacheIor.

No man is much of a hero to a widow.
The woman who marries for spite
usually gets it.
Few men would marry if they could
live forever.
About every third woman imagines
that she is an uncrowned queen.
The man who is good for nothing else
sometimes makes good husband.
Never marry a man to reform him.
Reform him first, and then don't marry
him.
A good many men marry to get q
home and then spend most of their
time away from tn. Y. Press.
