Iii is . singular fact. on which we have
seen no comment made, says the Atlanta
Constitution, that the election Of Mr..
Mckinley has not even restored ccnn'
dence among the multi-millionsires and
money u Of New York city. We
say the fact is singular because this class
placed all their influence at the disposal
of the Republicans and did everything in
their power TO promote Mr.. Mckinley's
election. They succeeded in their efforts.
They have had the fuI6llment Of what
seemed their hearts desire, and still they
view The situation with the g~rsvsss doubt
and suspicion.
Anticipating . demand for the evidence
Of this doubt and suspicion, we call at
tension to two remarkable facts
First-In spite Of the fact that Mr..
Mckinley has been elected, the money
owners are still boarding their money.
The New York banks alone hold above
$50. 600, 900 in excess Of their legal re-
serve Of IS per cent. This immense hoard
fully typiies the lack Of confidence, not
only on the part of those who borrow,
but on the part OF those who loan. In
addition to this, it should be borne in
mind that the item credited to loans in
the weekly bank statement lie calculated
to deceive the t~houghtless. The New
York banks have 70 real loans outstand.
ing. The item simply represents the
amount temporarily in the hands OF bro
kers for speculative purposes and not for
investment. II either lenders or borrow
ers had any confidence in the situstion
or any idea that the Republicans would
restore prosperity. the congestion OF idle
money in the financial centers would not
be the most marked result Of the Repub.
lican victory.
Second-In spite Of the claim that the
election Of Mr.. Mckinley is an indorse-
ment Of the gold standard the million
aire bankers and money lenders Of the
country are not satisfied. They showed
their lack of confidence in the result by
beginning another campaign for the gold
standard and renewing the agitation OF
the financial question even before Nc
Kinley was inaugurated. They formed
themselves and some Of the more active
of their sympathizers into 9 political or
ganization called the National Sound
Money League. with branches in all parts
Of the country.
Now, these leagues know-for they are
sensible beyond the s~verage-that if the
Republicans restore prosperity the gold
standard will not even be an issue in the
next campaign. But they show by en-
gsging in . political enterprise that they
have not the least confidence in the fu-
ture not the slightest belief in even the
possibility Of good times under the gold
standard. They have no confidence in
the future. and consequently they begin
fresh agitation on she money question.

military power can conquer. Against

is soon to be expanded by the approach
of the rainy season with its furies of yell

for awhile longer, but with inevitable
defeat before them.

Recorded I'm Three Machines.

Sam Davis says the kaleidoscope people
had three machines ct the fight in full
operation so that II one machine failed the
others would work. Six and one-half
miles Of film was used and it cost $50, 900.
The machine takes 40 pictures per second
or 1874, 900 during the fight. The machines
were in operation between the rounds to
show the way the men were working over
the pugiIists. and when Corbett went to
his defeat his sgonized face turned full to-
ward the kinetoscope. This picture will
be . dramatic finale to the series and draw
immense crowds when put on exhibition.
A cloudy day would have spoiled every
thing.

To Estimate the weight Of Cattle.
The weight Of cattle can be estimated by
Measurement. The girtb close behind the
shoulder and the length from the fore part
OF the shoulder blade along the back to the
bone at the tail, which 10 q vertical line
with the bullock, should be measured in
feet. Multiply she square of the girth,
expressed In feet. by five times the length
and divide the product by 81. The quo
sisns is nearly the weight Of the forequar-
tsrs in imperial stones Of IA pounds
svordupois. In very fst cattle the fore
quarters will be about one twentieth more
and in very lean animals about the same
proportion less than the weight obtained
by the rule. The forequarters are little
more than half the weight Of the living an
imal. the skin weighing about the eight
zenith part and the tsllow about the twelfth
part Of the whole.

MUSICAL NOTES.

The concert to be given in the Grand
Opera House On Thursday evening,
July l, promises to be one of unusual
interezt and, in fact the only high

the celebrated baritone; Madame
Louise Natal, soprano; Robert Temp
est, pianist; Howard T. Rattay, violin

Madame Natal sang with the Castle
Square Opera Company last season in
the Grand Opera House. Philadelphia

city. Howard Rattay, the yiolinist, is
regarded TO be one of the finest SOLO

that we can hear this combination.
Grace Orchestra has discontinued re
hearsals for the Summer.
A pleasant musicale was given by
Mrs. W. l.. Smith, No. 600 Franklin
street Saturday evening. Like the sev-
eral former ones given by Mrs. Smith,
1t proved anrenjoyable affair.
The accident to Emory L. Bauer, the
vi6linist, proved to be more serious
than was first anticipated. He was
confined to his bed for several weeks,
but is now better and will probably be
about in a Few days.
Mrs. Emma Lake, Of this city, is at
tending the annual convention of the
N. M. It. A., in New York city.
Madame Louist Natal, the soprano,
who is to sing here Thursday evening
