FOR THE PARLOR.
Louis XIV, Louis XVI. and Old
Colonial styles will be at the head.
This condition will be particularly
grateful to lovers Of art combinations
in furniture. The fabrics will run in
Satin Damasks and Brocatelles, with
a leaning toward unique designs; but
the chief fancy will be for green
velour. with a relief here and there in
silk embroidery, thus securing
dainty and eye-pleasing effect. The
woods will mainly present the better
grades of solid mahogany, and birch
with mahogany finish. Instead OF five
pieces to the suit, three pieces will OBJ
tain. In the large Overstuffed, or
Turkish suits, there will be little, il
any, change; though the ideas along
this line may rest largely with sub
dued effects.
FOR THE BEDROOM.
Women spend about half their lives
in their bed chambers: and that's the
particular reason why the promoters
Of furniture styles and requirements
pay extraordinary attention to the
furniture for this room. Here BIRDS
eye maple, mahogany, curly birch and
oak will predominant, with a decided
leaning toward the pretty birdseye.
Brass beds will also be popular. and q
birdseye maple dresser, chiffonier and
toilet table will create a sensational
pleasure in the minds of all who see
them. The mirror will be Of the
cheval order.
FOR THE DINING-ROO1.
Here. where we eat, drink and are
merry, entertain our friends and feel
at peace with the whole world" oak
and mahogany will hold full sway,
with the favor greatly with oak, on ac-
count of its popularity. The crotch
veneers on plain surface will prove q
very acceptable and taking innova'
ton. Old Colonial effects will be
courted for richness sake. For style 1t
is doubtful whether Old Colonial can
ever be Superseded. The Old Flemish
will, likewise, be popular. The fur
niture experts say it will have another
great eign a year or two hence.
Our 400X200 feet of space devoted
to furniture is crowding its inches
with all the new goods, which, by the
way, We shall be pleased to show you
at vOur leisure. We have arranged an
odd-piece circle, and the ladies vii!
give themselves many delightful mo.
ments if they will come and look its
contents DER" We have brought
within it's charmed environment some
of the most unique conceits Of these
latter days. Wood, fabric, pattern,
shape and price combine here to the
pleasure and profit of the purchaser.

A ROOM EOR SLUGGING.

There ought to be decided revival OF In
terest I'm prize-fghtiEg In this neighDorhood
now that another 'slugger' has been killed ID
the ring. The manly sport had fallen into some
dsrepute Of late. on account OF the preference
men have shown for using their mouths rather
than their fists and for resOrtlng to The
Ready Letter. Writer rather than to the Mar
uus of Queensberry's rules But now that not
only has n genuine fight to finish taken
place but one of the contestants has been
killed outright, the sport is rehabllitated
Gents" may 90 to see 1t with reasonable as
rurance of having their most brutal and blood
thirsty passions gratifed They may not see
n man killed every time, Of course. We have
not vet reached stage of civilization in which
that is possible. But they may see the man
who did the killing trying his expert hand on
another antagonist In the same ring. and I'M
der the same management The memory OF
what did occur there the other night will be
grateful to them. and they will be encouraged
TO hope that that gala performance may be re-
peated.
And why should 1t not be repeated? 1t is
merely the logical climax of the manly sport.
One man tries to 'knock out" or put to sleep
his antagonist. that is to disable him. in so
most maui and mutilate the other and which
can first pound the other into insensibility.
Nothing could be more fitting than that they
should 90 on hit further and see how quickly
they can kill each other. Unquestionably that
would add to the interest and popularity OF the
game Men go to see fight not for the sake
Of any mythical scientific points," but to see
and TO enjoy the sight of bruises and blood and
torture. In like manner they would gloat over
the agonies Of horse disembowelled by the
horns OF a bull. or a chained bear torn to pieces
by dogs, or human beings devoured by wild
beasts. Nothing disgusts them more than
prize-ight without blood, in which nobody gets
badly hurt Nothing warns the cookies OF
their hearts more than fight in which one Of
the fighters is actually killed. Yes, the death
Of this wretched rufiian ought to cause great
boom in smuggling, and to cause the disreputa-
BILE den in which 1t occurred to be thrOnged
nightly by applaudlng multitudes of 1.-The

A POOR GUIDEBOARD.

While majority Of the members Of the Iecis-
lature which goes into action to-day at Albany
are awaiting with more or less impatience the
appointed time for putting into operation the
views respecting the United States Senatorship
which they have adopted after long and prayer
full consideration the members Of the minority
are apparently still looking for guidance concern
ing the straight path Of duty. Under these cir
cumstances we observe with interest that sign
board has Just been erected at the State Capitol
by a gentleman who answers to the historic
name Of Ten Eyck. and who confesses that he il

bany" Mr.. Ten Eyck and his colleagues refrain
from debating the Democratic nomination for
the Senatorship, and consequently their direc-
lions as to the right course are less valuable
than they might be- but In pointing ont the
course which they Judge to be utterly and ire
mediably bad they are perfectly explicit. do
not vote for Senator Hill is the essential part
of the warning which they have posted. and II
they had stopped there they would have avoided

TIE WESTERN BANK FAILURES.

Another bank has failed al Minneapolis, OF
which Ex-Governor Ramsay was president SOME
wears ago, and with 1t two others OF smaii coh'
seouepce. All were thoroughly solvent, 1t Is
stated but were dragged down by the unrea-
soning alarm Of depositOrs which prevails SO
widely at the West. Men not well Informed
regarding the position Of Western banks ex-
PRESS some surprise because failures In tnat
section have Of late been noticeably numerous
But those who have examined the matter most
closely. like President Lyman j. Gage OF Chi-
cago do not hesitate to say over their own Sig
natures that there Is no present or recent stress
nj the West TO cause these disasters, that the
commercial fabric is entirely SOUND ana tnat
the situation does not warrant any alarm. Inc
closest inquiry by mercantile agencies has not
brought to light other causes, In important
cases. than unwise management or serious
losses in times happily now past, ana under
conditions which no longer exist. On the sur
face GO bank failures In the last quarter
Of the year 1896, with liabilities exceeding
$50. 900, against 1876 In the previous nine
months. with liabilities Of $40 465OOO, might
be supposed to indicate some new and hurtful
force in operation. But the facts show that
all the more important failures are in fact
wrecks due to Encouragement months or even
years ago.
The fact that few such failures Of impor-
lance have dragged down q number OF other
banks which were not really unsound Is easily
explained. 1t must be remembered that the
Western States have just passed through pO-
litica1 campaign Of great excitement, In which
distrust of financial institutions was by one
great political party inhamed to the utmost
The hatred Of money lenders by Debtors the
chronic prejudices Of farmers against men who
are supposed to render no public service be-
cause they raise no tangible crops, were for
months excited as far as possible BY POpulst
speakers and papers as a means OF gaining
votes. 1t might have been predicted, after
such a preparation Of the soil, that any promi-
nent bank failure would produce large crop
Of disasters, a kind Of epidemic Of distrust,
with runs on banks never before dstrusted
and dlstrnsted now without any cause.
The failure Of the National Bank Of Illinois,
which opened the disturbance and by itself
counted for about $4,000 900 out Of the $780,
100000 of defaulted banking liabilities In the
whole country during the last quarter, was dis
tinctly due to deliberate and persistent viola
ton of law in bolstering up stock speculations
which the collapse Of the Diamond Match
crowd last summer had crippled. When the
Chicago Stock Exchange was closed for
months. because most important failures would
have followed II there had been any market
in which to sell local speculative securities,
everybody knew that other concerns OF large
importance might be on the verge Of bank.
ruptcy In New.York banking circles the sittia-
tton was 70 far understood that the great
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1897-01-06

banking failure caused no surprise or alarm
and the losses of New-York banks through all
the failures at the West have been singularly
small. Yet the failure Of the Bank of Illinois
started the wave of apprehension among de-
positors at the West who had been prepared
by political agitators to distrust everybody
and the apprehension easily spread
The cause of other important failures was
not essentially different. One institution had
tried to lift some reckless grain spectators
through a disastrous campaign based upon
short crop stories last spring. and the loss was
SO heavy then that some concerns were left
waterlogged wrecks before the natural rise,
based upon Legitimate foreign demand, began
in the fall. It's said that another concern was
practically bankrupted more than year ago
by carrying numerous ventures in real estate
and manufacturing Of various kinds. At least
one other seems to have been so closely con-
nected with conspicuous and influential POpO-
cratic managers and fnanciers that 1t might as
WELL for all practical purposes. have staked
the money Of depositors on the success of the
silver campaign. But such sporadic cases Of
disregard alike Of law and Of the principles Of
good banking are to he found always after any
time of serious financial stress. In not one
case Of Importance does the most rigid inquiry
disclose failure due to conditions prevailing
since the election, or to recent msfOrtunes In
business or in industry at the West On the
contrary. that section has been greatly bene-
fitted by the course Of events within the last
two months. and Is better prepared to buy
largely and to extend business transactions
than 1t has been for years.

4 WARNING TO NEW-YORK.

RinghamtOn has learned a lesson which should
not be wasted on NewYork. The burning OF
the BrOome County courthouse did not involve
the loss Of the county records as whole, be-
cause they were housed in another building,
hut 1t did destroy the records of the Surrogate s
Court and it is impossible to say how much
annoyance that may cause. If the transcripts
of deeds and mortgages had by any chance re-
NAMED in the courthouse the title to a great
number of valuable estates would to-day be pre-
carious Nothing but good fortune and the lib
eral foresight Of the citizens Of BrOOme County,
who provided proper repository for their rec
ords prevented this confusion. Yet, no doubt,
every proposition to expend money for the
protection of these valuable papers was for
years met with the remark that they had been
well enough preserved for half a century and
the chances were that nothing would happen to
them for the next half-century.
New-York has for n long time treated its rec
ords as il they were so much old junk, which it
was not worth while TO destroy, but which 1t
was hardly worth while to keep. Now, how
ever, there Is a considerable public sentiment
aroused In favor Of the construction of fire.
proof structure to contain these papers, The
Binghamton fire OF 1T to give renewed energy
to those who are pushing the project. and con-
vince all Of the easy going that II Is not safe TO
trust to luck too long. The chance of fire in an
old building like the Hall Of Records is great
and only a miracle has preserved II TO the pres
ent day. In it are kept documents on which
millions Of dollars depend. yet they are kept as
II they were Of no importance whatever, and
there is no possibility Of guaranteeing their
safety until a thoroughly freproof Hall Of Rec
ords is erected. A bill has been prepared TO So
cure this greatly needed structure. and the pros
poet Of its becoming law at the coming session
of the Legislature Is good. But II will not do
to rest content with this prospect All possible
speed must be made In securing legislation and
