A STATEMENT ISSUED.
What Mr.. Singerly Says of the Philadel
phia Bank Failures


philadelphia, Dec. %. The record
publishes the following editorial:
''To the public: The Record is com
PEELED to make painful personal an
nouncement this morning. Owing to the
financial embarrassment ofnM William
NJ. Singerly, president of the Record Pub
fishing Company, the Chestnut Street
National Bank and the Chestnut Street
Trust and Savings Fund Company were
obliged to suspend business yesterday.
''Fhe weight which proved too heavy
for Mr. Singerly to carry was his large
investment in the Singerly Pulp aud
Paper Mills, at Elkton, Md. The extreme
shrinkag re in the price OF paper and the
resulting depreciation in the value of that
property are the primary causes of his
embarrassment Gud of the suspension of
the bank and trust company with which
he has been SO closely identified
IAN extraordinary effort was made he
fore the announcement of the suspension
to tide over the difficulty, and Mr.. Sin
gerly's friends rallied 10 his assistance
with rare generosity and fidelity, hut 1t
WAS found impracticable to turn the as
sets at his disposal into shape to meet
immediate requirement.
"a complete statement nf the condi-
ton of the Chestnut Street National Bank
will soon be available. 1t is probable
that such arrangements W. IL be perfected
as Will enable the bank to liuuitiate it's
obligations without the necessity or de-
lay of a receivership.

has valuable asset. The earnings of

" Some Young Fellows"

An American who had lived in Mexico
for twenty years came back to this
country few months ago and visited
the places and people that were once
familiar to him. His opinion of his ma
tive land, as reported by the Mexican
correspondent of the Boston Herald, -
is by no means flattering. There are
nice people here yet, but he thinks
that the prevailing tendencies in Amer
ican life favor extravaganza, preten-
sion, hurry and worry; and along with
the overdriven man we have the lazy
man also.
Just to test this labor question" the
visitor told the correspondent, Il went
to plantations in Virginia and to farms
in Ohio, dressed in my old duds, and
asked for work. There was plenty Of it
planters and farmers We're willing to
give me SO a month and good board
and clean bed all the year round.
reckoned it up that 1 could save $100 a
year at that rate and get fat, too.
have worked hard in my time in rough
employments, and have no fear of
sweating.
We'll, then, met some young fellows
in Washington, loafing about the bar
rooms and in front of the hotels, talking
about hard times.
Boys l said, there is no need of
loafing and grumbling. Til tell you
where you can get work; go over to
Alexandria, and there's Mr.. So-and-S So
wants a man; another wants three, and
still another two. Wages SO month,
bread, butter and meat, and peaches
and cream in the season.
:" You can read Sundays and learn
something, and come out with money In
your pocket at the end of the year. Why
loaf on your friends and talk politics
Better work.
My reception by these young men
was not enthusiastic. Some said they
had never worked at hard manual la
Dor; others hated farming, it was so dull
in the country. All sorts of excuses We're
given, but not one prompted by good
sense and a willingness to do honest
hard work.
Now, that's fine lot of young men
for you, You call them, suppose the
Hope of America" and all that"
The fact is, our cities are crowded
with men, so that there is a surplus in
every department of labor. The coun-
try has been emptied of the Drawn
and muscle that should be given to agri-
culture. On farm a man can al least
raise food enough to avoid starvation;
and if he is not able to purchase land
and cannot find occupation In our cities,
there are farmers in nearly all parts of
the country who will be glad to employ
him.-Youth's Companion.

Pebbles.

Lenses for the eye are made of rock
crystal commonly called pebbles) or
crown glass. Lenses made from rock
crystal are harder and therefore less
liable to scratch. Pebbles unless cut
accurately are apt to refract unequally.
They also absorb more heat. So that
lenses made from good crown glass are
equal to the best pebbles, are cheaper
and universally used. I shall be pleased
