RECALCITRANT BANKERS.
Bond Sale Committee Blocked b,
Refusal to Testify.

Refusal to Testify. -
The subcommittee of the Senate Com
-mtttee on Finance, now engaged In an IN
vestigation of the bond sales, held brler
session yesterday ana agreed to make
partial report to the full committee and ask
for instructions.
While sitting In New York Messrs. Au-
gust Belmont and Morgan, the bankers, who
negotiated the greater part OF these loans,s
were summoned before tie committee, and,
among other questions,- were asked what
profits they had made.
An answer to these questions was re-
fused, the bankers contending that what
profits were made, il any, was private
matter, which could not concern the com
mittee and were not essential TO the proper
conduct of al investigation under the terms
OF the resolution.
Mr.. Vest pressed for response, but
without success. He was compelled to con
tent himself with the statement that
the matter would he reported to the full
committee for action.
This was the particular question dis
cussed by the committee yesterday. Since
the decision in the Chapman case-the re-
calcltrant sugar investigation witness
some members OF the subcOmittee contend
that they should again summon Messrs.
Morgan and Belmont, and, upon their re-
fusal to answer the questions, certify them
to the District Attorney for action before
the grand jury.
The bankerscontend tbs their case comes
under the rule in the Hallett Kilbourne
case and is foreign to the principle in
voived in the one recently decided. This
view is coincded in by at least one promi-'
nent member of the subcommittee. The
action To be taken in tie future will de
pend upon the vote OF the full committee.

OF A MILD TYPE.
Health Office Reports Low Death
Rate From Diphtheria.

The mortality of the city during the
past week amounted TO 90, of which "a
Were white, and AZ colored. Accordingly
the death rates We're for the whites, Ill
and for the coloFed, 24.6- For total
population it was IFS, a S compared with
1T.5 in the corresponding period OF last
year.
The deaths among children under five
years of age, as reported to the health
department, rose from = in the week
before to 80, and those under one year
old, from IL to %. Those from con-
sumption increased from 10 10 A. From
ZyIHotic affections, II fatal cases occurred,
of which " ere from typhoid fever, and2
from diphtheria, OF the typhoid fever
cases, 4 were of about month in dura-
ton and 2 Of fourteen days.
The prevailing type of reported cases of
diphtheria is mild, as Indicated by the
exceedingly low death rate. This is
due possibly, to the fact that inflamma-
tions Of the throat and nose which, under
ordinary circumstances, would be attributed
to cold or exposure, land treated with
domestic remedies, are, because OF the
prevalence OF diphtheria being referred to
physicians, who, for the same reason, avail
themselves the more freely of the facilities
offered for meteorological examinations of
such cases; with the result not infrequently
that the diphtheria bacillus S found to
be present, and the Inflammation S, there
fore, attributed to that cause the case
being diagnosed and reported as diphtheria.
1t may reasonably be expected that the
prompt isolation OF this class of cases will
materially hasten the disappearance OF the
disease from the District.

EMERGENCY RATION .
War Department Finally Fixes Its

The War Department, after several years.
experiment, has established an emergency
ration for troops operating for short periods
under circumstances which require them
to depend upon supplies carried upon their
persons.
1t will consist of bacon 10 ounces; hard
bread, ] 6 ounces; pea meal, ounces; or
an equivalent in approval material for max
ing soup; coffee, roasted and ground, 2
ounces; or tea, 1-2 ounce; saccharin,
grains; salt. .64 ounce; pepper, 4 ounce;
tobacco, 12 ounce.
The Secretary Of War directs that this
emergency ration be resorted to only on
occasions arising in active operations when
the use OF the regularly established ration
may be impracticable; that, although It's
Iutritive qualities permit its use on half
allowance, it will not be SO used except
in cases of overruling necessity, and never
for longer period than ten days; and
that not more than five days emergency
rations be carried on the person at one

The Indians First Parents.

The famous summer resort Mount Desert
Island was the traditionary Garden of
Eden of the northwestern Indians. Accord
ing to their story the first man was Il
youth with golden hair and eyes like the
hazel berry. His Eve came to him from
the clouds. She Immediately proceeded
to make herself disa greeable by cutting off
Adams golden locks. These she began TO
weave into a cord. At this stage the
Indian god of evil appears and binds her
with the cord she has made. She stops
growing, but not working From n tall
green stalk she gathered yellow seed, ut
of which she made bread After these
first people had taught their children how
to raise and use the grain they were trans
lated to the constellation stars known as
the Sickle, whence they still watch over
their earthly home.

Mine on Mount Sinai.

Recent examination of the copper mines
on Mount Sinai reveals that the ore is poor
and difficult to work, which accounts for
the fact that they We're abandoned 1000
years ago, though in the days when copper
was the only available substitute for wood
and stone these mines Were the cause or
frequent wars. An interesting point
brought to light is tnat the ancients prac-
ticed precisely the methods OF extraction
used at the present day-namely, reduction
with charcoal combined with silicious and
calcareous fluXes.-Chicag Chronicle.

Seneca'S Medal,

In the possession of the Red Jacket Club
ofCanandaigua is a medal which, the m em
bers OF tie club believe, was given to the
famous Seneca chief by George Washing
ton. Other folks have frequently queS-
toned the authenticity of this relic, much
to the Indignation of the Canandaiguans,
who assert that its claims to respect are
beyond doubt. Medals almost exact dupli-
Gates OF Red Jackets, they admit, were
presented to other Indians of note about
the time when Red Jacket received his, but
this one is distinguished from all the rest
because onitS reversetherea are fuurteenstars
instead Of fifteen, and it remained in the
hands of single family from the time of
the chiefs death until it became the prop
erty Of it's present owners.

to accept a general bond for all goods
imported by an importer when stored in his
private bonded warehouse in place of the
special bond now required for each entry

covering an indefinite number Of ship
ments would furnish no basis for an

COMMON PLAIN FOOD.
ills Best for Children or Adults.

1t Is Best for Children Or Adults.
Natural grains, meat, and fruit will
make good blOodif the digestive machinery
of the body is not interfered with.
The blood when first made goes into the
arteries and is OF a bright ed color. After
1t has been used some in supplying the
body, il is carried into the veins and is
there dark red or purple color. Blood
contains the elements To nourish and build
up the body, such as iron, soda, lime,
albumen, etc, etc.
When the pow ers of the stomach and the
bowels are reduced by lack of vitality
or by putting coffee and tea into the
stomach the processes which nature goes
through with to change the food into
rich, red blood are seriously interfered
with.
If a man could see what q wv ct blanket
he put over his hard working friend, the
stomach, by putting in coffee, whisky, or
tobacco, when il was honestly toiling
away to do its work well, he would never
repeat the outrage and injustice. 1t is
like striking your friend vicious blow
when he is delving away for you with
might and main. Don't do it. one feels
mere respect for himself when he acts the
man and permits no form of abuse to
strangle and spoil the beautiful work being
done for him in the human body No sort
OF fun on earth is equal to the fun of being
thoroughly We'll.

brown OF Java; and has an aroma and
taste that make a man thankful that
someone has at last made a combination
of the grains that gives such q, delicious
hot drink that one can readily leave off the
coffee which has been hurting more than
one likes to think of.
Medicines are poor crutches. The only
safety is to use food and drink that the
Creator intended for man, and when this s
done the diseases and sick spells gradually
disappear.
Common sense is quite uncommon except
