The law requires that the banks in

over one billion dollars cash, leaving
only about a half billion dollars Of
money for purposes of business;
which is less than ten per cent of

postage stamps not adequate to the
demands of business? There's field
for thought.

SESSION OF p. O. CLERKS.
They Form Branch of New
Association.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Over 300
clerks connected with the postal ser
vice in this city met at Webster hall
today, ard after three hours deliEera-
ton formed a permanent organization,
which will be the New York branch of
the United Postof1ice Clerks associa-
ton, which is rival of the National
Association of Postoffice Clerks.
On Nov. % there was q conference Of
postal clerks at Pittsburg. 1t was at
tended by representatives CT the post
offices in that city, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and New York. They decided to
withdraw from the National association
and to form the new organization
known as the United PostOffice Clerks
association. The reason for the secs ssion
was the alleged apathy of the National
Association CT Postoffice Clerks in
pushing a bill through congress, and
also because of defect in the bill in
troduced at the instance of the Ma
tional Postoffice Clerks association, in
that it made nc provision for classifica-
ton of service and emoluments accord
ing to seniority, such as Sunset Cox
obtained for the letter carriers. 1t is
said that the postoffice clerks in this
country contributed over $4,000 to the
rational association as fund for the
furtherance of the bill, but the slow
progress and the unpromising prospect
disheartened many members of the old
association and they decided on more
vigorous policy. The success of the
letter carriers association has stirred
the postoffice clerks ito immediate ac-
tion. A new bill has been prepared,
and was Endorsed at thel meeting to-
dav. which will be introduced, with few
notifications, in the. present congress.

RIGOROUS TEA LAWS.
Over $4,000 Packages Rejected In
New York Since May,

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE new tea
law of March 2, 1897, went into effect
on May l, 1897. A comparison of the
operation Of the old law and the new
law Is Of interest. 1t will be remem-
bered that this tea law is in the in
terest of the purity of the merchandise
imported, and as a reason for the new
law 1t was claimed that the law which
was in force prior to 1897 was ineffec-
tive. This would appear to be true
considering the operation Of the new
law at the port of New York as given
out by the United States appraiser
Saturday, which, as compared with the
old law, has been as follows:

Police Think He Poisoned His Wife
with Them.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Charles Ia
noli, who Is suspected Of having killed
four of his wives and three other per-
sons for the purpose Of collecting In
surance money on their lives, is still
a prisoner at police headquarters. He
continues his proteStationS Of innocence
of foul deeds. In his conversation, Ia
noli expresses himself as being more
than ready to help the detectives to-
ward the solution Of all doubtful qEss-
lions, and Chief Detective McCluskey
acknowledges that the prisoner had
offered assistance to him in clearing
some Of the details Of the investiga-
ton which have cost SO much time and
trouble.
The police have learned that the
young woman who had been selected
by Zanoli as his fifth wife. just before
his arrest on Thursday last, is Barba-
resident of Brooklyn. She had an
swered an advertisement of Zanoli und r
the name Of G. Wagner. Zanoli has q
smattering knowledge of things medi-
cal, which he gained in his apprentice
ship for the trade of barber in Ger
many. He is able to pull teeth and to
perform the operation known as cup
ping, and is familiar with the blister
raised after the cupping process. 1t
is possible, Chief McCluskey thinks,
that he may be possessed Of the same
general knowledge of deadly drugs.

great fuss has been raised in Honolulu
over the proposed sale by the government
at public auction of the crown silver glass
and china ware that were in use during the
reign of the Kamehamehas and Queen Liliuo-
kalani. The stuff came into the possession
OF the government at the time OF the over
throw, and has been in storage ever since.
Curio collectors and relic hunters have been
after 1t ever SINCE and the government has
twice refused large sums for the lot. Some
time ago a lot OF royal crockery was Sold
and common plates brought as high as $3.50
each. All the glassware which is inscribed

chinaware consists of a wonderfully rich set
Of dishes with green border. 1t was known
in the royal house as the green set and
consists of over 5000 pieces. 1t was present
to Kalakaua from the Emperor Of France.
All the chinaware has the royal monogram
in the center Of each plate. The silver is all
elaborate and consists Of beefsteak traps, hot
water dishes, vegetable dishes and many
other pieces. There is also a good deal OF
crockery In the collection. Many historical
articles from the reigns Of the Kamehamehas

INSULT TO LABOR,
So Keystone State Unions Think of
Parsons Appointment.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 12.-The
United Labor league, at a meeting this
afternoon, passed resolution author
izing the officers of the league to send
a protest to President Mckinley
against the appointment Of ex-Chief
Justice Paxson as a member of the
interstate commerce commission. The
grounds for the protest grove out of
an opinion rendered by Mr.. Paxson
when he was chief justice of the SUI
preme court in relation to the Home
stead strike The protest will state
that Mr.. Parsons appointment will be
an insult not alone to the organized
la Dor in this city and state, but to ev-
cry workingman in the United States.
The discussion over the protest was
spirited, and before the motion was
agreed to personalities were exchanged
with so much liberality that the pre-
siding officer refused to allow several
members to speak.

SLUGGISH BLOOD.

fhe Cause of Much, Perhaps Most
uI-HeaIth, How to Keep 1t
Clear and Circulating.
There is one thing that is admitted by
everybody, that the blood must be kept
moving If the brain is to be clear and the
health good. No one ever questions this,
and yet how few people have good circula-
ton. Sometimes the pulse seems to be run
ming away, and again, it can hardly be
felt. This is all wrong. Any man or woman
who wishes health (and who does not must
have an even and good circulation of the
blood.
There is only one way by which this can
be accomplished, and that is by the use Of
a pure stimulant. Not ordinary one,
but something pure, palatable and reliable.
Such, in the highest degree, is Dufy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, and such it has been proven
to be for a of years. 1t is the most
popular stimulant in the world, and it owes
its popularity wholly to it's merit. Care
should be taken to see that Duffy's and
only Duffy's is used

the healthgiving qualities in Duffy's Pure
Malt, and you will certainly find it so upon
