HE HAD PLENTY OF FUNDS
WALL STREET BANK

New York, Aug. IA man who said he was Thomas Hussey, S6 years of age, of Montgomery Ala, entered the Ameri- can Exchange National Bank this after noon to deposit some bonds. He was very feeble and with trembling hands searched through his leather wallet and his pockets for some coupons. He could not find them and the bank could not do business with the old man.
 He was sitting on the step of the bank entrance when policeman of Broadway Square saw him. Thinking the old man was tired he questioned him and finally took him to the Old Slip station house, where the sergeant ordered the officer to search him.
 The wallet disclosed s77s in money, return ticket to Montgomery Ala, a check on Drexel & Co.,, Philadelphia, for $11,O00, and an envelope containing for ty-eight coupons clipped from some bonds which were found in the old mans tall boots. There were eleven s1 .0oO bonds of the city of Savannah, four s1Oe bonds of the same and a certificate for 100 shares of New York Central railway stock es
 The officer took MT. Hussey to the Cer- tral Station police eourt where the old man told Magistrate Cornell that he ar rived in New York last night and had stopped in boarding house in Watt street. He could not remember the name. He said he had a relative in Brooklyn named Mitchell
 There was no charge to be brought against MT. Hussey so the magistrate or dered the policeman to take him to police headquarters where steps could be taken to find his relatives.

ITS A GOOD THING.
But Operators Are Waiting On Each Other to
 Sign It.

Pittsburg, Aug. 17.-In the opinion of number of coal operators the uniformity agreement admittedly a good~thing, will not receive the support its articles are said to warrant. A canvass of operators shows that they are not rushing to the committee with signed agreements in their hands; in fact they are all holding back and each one seems to be waiting to see what the other fellow is going to do. The uniformity committee refuses to di- vulge the names of the operators who have affixed their names to that instru- ment. A number of coal men said to- day. "rhey had it under advisement, al- though they thought it improbable that they would sign" Others stated that they were waiting for the New York and Cleveland Coal Gas company to head the list, and seemed unwilling to have their names enrolled until President DeArmitt announced that his company had actual ly signed.

Needed Improvements to Be Made.

Washington. Aug. 1.-The board con vened by Acting Secretary Roosevelt to consider the project for dry docks have been In session during the day ard will continue to examine into the matter as long as Admiral Bunce can be absent from the New York navy yard. The bursau of yards and docks is now having condemnation proceedings made at Port Royal, s. C., preparatory to dredging a channel to the dock at that place. This dock is large enough for the Indiana or any of the battlcships. but cannot be reached owing to the shallow channel. Work of dredging the channel would have been begun before. but it was necss- sary for the government to acquire a strip of land upon which to deposit the dredging and to make canal which would not be filled up as soon as 1t was complsi=d. Early this month a con- tract will be let for dredging channel deep enough for the large ships.

When cauarrh has existed in the nose,
head and upper parts of the throat Tor
any length Of time, the patient living in
district where people are subject to
catarrhal affections, and the disease has
been left uncured, the catarrh almost in
yaribly extends from the windpipe and
thence into the bronchial tubes. These
tubes convey the air into the different
parts of the lungs. The pam " hich &C
companies this condition is al a dull
character, felt in the chest behind the
breast-bone. or else it Is present under
the shoulder blade. The cough that &C.
ours at this time is dry, comes at vary
ing intervals, is hacking in character
and is usually most troublesome in the
morning upon arising or on going to bed
at night. This peculiar character OF
cough is often the first evidence that
catharral disease is extending into the
lungs. About this time you will have
shortness OF breath and palpitation OF
the heart which always goes with con-
sumption. You should then immediate
" call on DIR. s. CLAY TODD and he
will give you relief.
