ANDREWS, Feb. 24.-By request of
your regular correspondent, "RippliDg
Waves" who is now languishing upon
a bed of atlliction, | will try to fill her

befallen us since the merry Nmas holt

Nicholson was taken seriously i'll with
pneumonia and is still unable to sit up.
About the middle of the month measles
made an invasion in their family, and
on the 25th death snatched from their
loving embrace the sweet little cherub,
Robert, the household pet. He had
been sick only three days with measles,
when he took congestion and died be-
fore the family were aware of his seri-

great sorrow, and their grief seems al
most unbearable. Time and the COM

SINGERLY'S FAT NEWSPAPER
PHILADELPHIA RECORD STOCK
GOOD AS GOLD.
Proposition to Liquidate Recent Bank
Failure On Basis of Half Cash,
Half Record Stock.

New York. Dec. ga meeting of
friends of William Singerly will be held
in John G. Johnson's office in Philadel-
Dhia today when it is expected that a
plan for the settlement of the affairs of
Chestnut Street National bank and the
Chestnut Street Trust & Savings COM
pany will be reached.
An outline of the plan, according to the
Herald correspondent, is as follows:
There is to be an issue of Record Pub
fishing company stock which will be sufi-
GENTLY large in addition to the assets Of
the bank and trust company, to ena e
these institutions to liquidate upon a
basis of 50 per cent cash and so per cent
Record stock This proportion may be
changed after a complete examination
has been made of the assets, but it is
the basis of the present calculations. The
scheme is declared to be the only feasible
one TO provide for the successful VOlun-
tary liquidation of the accounts of Mr..
Singerly and the two companies, and 1t is
strongly urged by those of Mr.. oIngerly s
financial friends who wish TO extend to
him competent assistance at this crisis.
Comptroller of the Currency EchelS
term of office expires this week and ne
expressly desires to have the matter set
tied before his successor takes charge.
If this plan fails to receive the approval
of the creditors and a receivership IS
started, it is said they will get consider
able less than dollar for dollar and will
be compelled to wait long time for
that.
Under a receivership the stockholders of
the bank will be liable for a demand for
payment of money equal to their holdings
of stock. In the case of the trust COM
pany only one-half of the 100000 capital
stock has been paid in, and the stock
holders are consequently liable to an as

ACROSS THE OCEAN ON FOOT
FEAT PROPOSED BY AN ADVEN-
furious BoSToNIAN.
Capt. Aldrieve Will Be Accompanied
By the Noted Capt. Andrews
Shoes Will Be Cedar Boxes.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-A special to the
Times Herald from New York says:
Captain W. c. Oldreive Of Boston has
planned to walk across the Atlantic
ocean.
He will begin his journey July 4, and
will be accompanied by Captain Will
liam A. Andrews of this city, famous
by reason of his voyage across the At
lantic in a small boat.
1t is nothing new for Captain Old
reive to promenade the waves. This
has been his pleasure and profit these
ten years. Captain Andrews, who is to
be the companion of the water pedes-
trian, will journey in a brand new IA
foot small boat, and in this he merely
repeats a feat performed in 1873 and
again in 1892 Captain Andrews is the
man who has brought about the whole
affair. Here is his own statement:
Incredible as it may seem, next year
we are really going to walk and sail
down Boston harbor, out on to the
ocean, and over to Havre, France,
through the great bore of the river
Seine and up to Paris, to be there to
attend the exposition in 1900 in our new
sea-going shoes and smallest, fastest
and best boat that ever crossed the At
lantic ocean, the Phantom Ship Every
vessel we speak on the ocean will re-
port one of US walking and sometimes
towing the boat in calm weather"
The seagoing shoes of Captain Old
reiver are the most wonderful part of
the whole affair. They are a pair of
cedar boxes. five feet long, with fins
on the bottom and sides. They are
very light and capable of sustaining
40 pounds, but as Oldreiver v eighs
only $50. they are as good to him as a

SOCIETY WOMAN KILLS HER

Miss Wells Was Much Attached to
Miss Herbert, Who Suicided Last

Washington, Dec 26.-The recent
tragic death of Miss Leila Herbert, the
daughter of the ex-secretary of the

She herself had been confined to the

this, combined with the shock caused
by the death of her friend, brought on
melancholia which resulted in suicide.

TO TRY AGAIN.
Chase Negotiating For Another Trial
With Michael.

New York, Dec. 27-Arthur A.
Chase, defeated by Jimmy Michael in
the 3O-mile race in Madison Square
to race again. His manager, w. f.
Welton, is negotiating for another trial.
Chase has no complaint to make about
his defeat, except to say that he was
dissatisfied with his pacing. In this
complaint all the bicycle experts agree
with Chase.
My pacing teams were made. up of
good men" said Chase, "but they were
too irregular and did not work to-
gether. They rode fast enough, but
they made pickups badly, and at no
time did they work together with the
regularity and smoothness that such
race as / was riding demanded. On
the contrary, MichaePs men worked
together with the precision of machines,
and he was helped along at the same
points that L lost time and ground.
L am anxious to meet Michael again
in another race, but l should want the
next race planned better. l should
much prefer to ride against Michael
out-of-doors, on bigger and broader
track than the one in the garden; but,
as that is out of the question for some
time to come, we have tried to arrange
a race in the garden. did not care
to undertake the race, however, before
two weeks, as 1 wanted that much time
in which to straighten myself out and
get over the shaking up 1 received on
Saturday night Two weeks, it seems,
is too far off for Michael
If we should ride again in the gar
den l will certainly make every effort
to get better pacing. Another improve
ment for Michael and myself would be
to have the pacemakers start on the
sides, and thus do away with the dan
ger of accidents on the steeply- graded
turns
Dave Shaefer, manager of Michael,
has given decided answer to Chases
proposition for a new match, saying
that Michael is to go out of training
after the present week. If match
can be made within that time, Michael
will go against Chase again. Shaefer
is determined to give Michael a long
and needed rest, and no persuasion
can alter his plans. Michael, too
wants to stop hard work for a time.
The little Welshman says he has
earned rest and means to have it.

SENATOR MORGAN'S VIEWS.
Impossible For United States to Re
main Complacent.

Washington, Dec. 27.-According to a
Washington correspondent of the Her
aid, Senator Morgan of Alabama, of
the committee on foreign relations, said
tonight that it would be impossible for
the United States to remain compla-
cent, should European nations under
take the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China.
Senator Morgan said: If partition
involves the abrogation of treaties, this
country would be left to make terms
with each European nation separately
in the territory to which its sovereign
ty extended. Therefore, unless the
powers now ambitious for territorial
extension, take into account the inn
pOrtance of our commercial relations
with China, it will be necessary for
the government to intervene in self
defense If the cessiOn is absolute,
then American interests must be taken
care of through the treaties between
America and the countries to which
the absolute ceSsions are made, re-
spectively. If the territory is given up
merely for time, there viii be a
mixed responsibility, and it is a good
time for Intervention and the exercise
of American diplomacy. The German
occupation of part of China, and the
prospective occupation of other parts
by various European nations is an eff
fort to complete a Gordon of offense to
American commerce from Vladivostock
to MarseiIles, or to Liverpool. That
Gordon is being stretched to contract
the trade of 600,000,000 people, who have
direct trade and intercourse with the
Pacific ocean. There is a great deal
