y. PIERPOrNT MORGAN"
| The New York Evening Sun says:
| While bankers generally deplored the
circumstances which necessitated the
| dissolution of the syndicate, they still
recognized them, and We're practically
unanimous in saying that Mr.. Morgan
had done the right thing and at the
right time. None of them cared to talk
for publication, pointing out that Mr..
Morgan's circular letter was absolutely
comprehensive in it's exposition of the
| matter and that there was in conse-
| quence nothing to be added to his state
ment.
| From this time until February the
| treasury at Washington will be the
point to watch. Very little will be
known as to the amount of this sub
scription until February 5, as it is not
probable that the larger bidders for
the loan will send in their bids at once
when they can accomplish as much by
| waiting three weeks, and in the mean
time will possess the advantage of be-
ing free from any commitments in case
| the political situation should again be-
| CONS threatening.
1here We're several points in Mr.. Nor
gan's statement that were. dwelt upon
with comfort by it's readers to-day
Among them were the declaration that
he was perfectly satisfied as to the sue
cess Of the loan, and his reason for so
thinking, together with the closing line
of the circular, which reads:
I feel sure, should it hereafter ap-
pear desirable 10 make such bid. that
you will gladly cooperate with them in
such action, either individually or 9th
erwise.

New YORK, Dec 2S-Several business
firms that had wondered why important
letters containing large sums of money
had been delayed in the mails have re,
ceived the letters, but not the enclosures,
stained with the waters of the. bay in
which they had tossed for two or three
days before being picked up. The letters
had been opened, the money inside taken
out, after which the thieves had dropped
the letters into the bay. Investigation
made at the postoflice confirmed the story,
The loss may reach thousands Of dollars.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, SO many varied attractions as
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one escaping from the cold
and unheathful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, it is prominently land of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of salt water coast and in its twelve
hundred fresh water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters to the
tarpon, pompano, and Others of more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety of
game or better sport
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears. panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
out the State. The more novel sport of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
dulged in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, ard its
extensive forests, Florida presents unrivaled
attractions for the valetudinaTan, the lover
of nature, the sportsman and the explorer.
70 this attractive state the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sonally-conducted tours during the season of
1897, leaving by special train January 26,
February and 23 and March o. The first
three tours will admit of a s0jOurn of two
weeks in this delightful land; tickets for the
| fourth tour will be valid to return until May
! 81 by regular trains.
| Rates for the round trip, $4,000 from New
York, $is,0O from Philadelphia, and proper
tionate rates from other points
For tickets, itineraries and other iuforma-
ton, apply to ticket agents, special booking
offices, or address Geo. w. Boyd, Assistant

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
Claims to Be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free but
sometimes man SO overnows with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery is
known to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has discovered
1t is upon this principal that resident Of
Kalamazoo, Mich, desires to send free to
mankind a prescription which will cure them
Of any form of nervous debility relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As it
costs nothing TO try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped to realize what might be
the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in remedy which will restore them to
health, strength and vignr, without which
they continue to live an existence of untold
misery. As the remedy in question was the
result of many years research as to what
combination would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need, it
/ would seem that all men suffering with any
/ form of nervous weakness ought to write for
| such n remedy at once. A request to II. G..
/ Olds, Box 17l2, Kalamazoo, Mich. stating
| that you arc not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use of the medicine by giving ita trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came from.
The prescription is sent free and although
some may wonder how Mr.. Olds can afford to
give away his discovery, there is no doubt
about the offer being genuine. Cut this out
and send to Mr.. Olds so that he may know
/ how you came to write him 122S-7St

Escaped from Them.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-Three young
men, giving their names as Andrew Law
son. Henry Ropkee and Henry Rice, and
their residences as Philadelphia, applied
at the Alexandria, Va, station house for
lodging last night. They were oyster
dredgers. and their appearance showed
that they had suffered terrible hardships.
One of them said that on Oct. 10 five
young men from Philadelphia shipped as
dredgers on the oyster vessel Escort Cap
tain Alfred Summers, of Onancock, Va,
and on Oct. 81 sailed down the Chesapeake
for the oyster beds.
The men had scanty rations and hard
work. Ropkee was the first to get sick
and was, 1t is said, cruelty treated by
Harry Hayden the mate of the vessel, un-
til nearly dead. Ropkee showed hole in
his side which he said was caused by kicks
The five who shipped from Philadelphia
managed to steal away from the dredger
last Wednesday near Monroe creek, and
walked to Fredericksburg, Va, where two
of the five were obliged to remain on ac-
count Of their physical condition Those
who arrived last night are badly frozen.
They say Andrew Mundee, a dredger
on another vessel commanded by Captain
John Summers, brother of the captain
of the Escort, was knocked down and
beaten and afterward thrown overheard
