YESTERDAY, the first summer Sun
day, was an ideal June day. The sky
was clear, the sun shone brightly and
delightful breeze prevailed through
out the day. The flowers in the many
gardens of the city were in full bloom
and the mir was redolent with their
delicious perfume Many people were
on the streets and quite number of
strangers visited the city. The electric
railway aud the excursion steamers car
red many passengers, while many
persons enjoyed strolls in the country,
near this city The churches were all
well attended. Special services, incl
dent to Whitsunduy, were held in the
Episcopal and Catholic churches. In
st. Mary's Catholic Church the devo-
tions OF the forty hours opened at the
| o'clock mass, when Rev. Father Nj.
Smith, of the Paulist House of Studies
OF the Catholic University, preached an
eloquent sermon on the Blessed Sacra-
ment. The sacrament was then OK
posed and carried around the church,
preceded by a procession Of little girls,
dressed in white, strewiDg flowers in
the path. AT the vesper service at 1880
o'clock Rev. Father Tierney delivered
sermon on the blessed sacrament.
The special service will terminate at 5
o'clock tomorrow evening. In Grace
Episcopal Church there were baptisms
of Infants and adults at 4 p. m. The
services at Trinity NJ. E. Church in Il
evening were conducted by Rev. MIR.
Stokeley, and in the M. f. Church
South, Rev. J. H. Wells occupied the
pulpit at both the morning and evening
services. The pulpits of the other
churches were occupied by the resident
clergy.

A FER MUCH EXPERIMENTING
n with tho aid Of expert alvicc we have
at considerable expense produced and put
upon the market health biscuit combining
peptoniz beef with other puro ingredients,
making most nourishing and palatable bis
cult for general use and especislly suitable for
person Of sedentary habits or such as are snf~
feridg with impaired digestion. We havc
named this biscuit
PEPToNE BEEF AND BREAD BISCUIT
which is stamped upon every cracker. Our
biscuit is patented and, i'll addition. we have
applied for label registration, of which we
now give notice.
These crackers are very carefully put up in
attractive one pound ,cartons, odorless parch-
ment paper being used on the inside, and n
wrapper (under seal) covering the outside Of
the carton, thus protecting tho goods from
all contamination, keeping them puro and
clean until they shall reach tho hands of the
consumer.
Each cracker contains 10 per cent. in ac-
tusl weight of the beef meal OF 1.-THE Vir-
ginia Beef Extract and Beef Meal Company"
OF Alexandria, Va, which is the equivalent
of about ID ounces of fresh lean beef to every
pound of flour The beef thus highly con.
centrated being in the form of pcptone is
readily assimisted and is very nourshing.
II you are sufficiently interested to put
your name and address on q postal card ard
drop it into mail box, will be glad to
furnish you, free of expense, sample OF tho
biscuit, SO that you may judge it for yourself.
or you may find them on sale at the stores.
If your grocer or dealer does no carry these
goods in stock, and you will advise US we
will see that you are supplied.
Yours very truly.

The Beef Extract Company who were un-
fortunate enough to loose their plant in the
late disastrous fire, have already arranged to
keep us supplied with the peptonizcd boef un-
Ill they shall rebuild.

SEEMED A SYMPATHETIC DEATH. In
the doorway of his farm house, at
Phillipstowu, Putnam county, Pa, on
Saturday, stood Gilbert Forman, farm
er. He was in vigorous health, despite
his four and seventy years, and still
able to do good days work on his
farm. Suddenly he put baud 20 his
head: II cannot see" he said. What
is the matter-Mary Yes, l hear your
voice" and he fell to the ground uncon-
scious. In short time he was dead from
apoplexy. Strange to say. short time
before he was stricken, his sister, Mary
A. Wixou, the widow OF Nathaniel
Wixon, of Shenandoah, Duchess coun-
ty, had died in her home, aged IS. Their
deaths came within an hour of each
other, she dying first, while her name
was almost the last word on his lips.
A widow and ten grown children sur
viye Mr.. Forman.

Havana, 1t will not be necessary to go
outside of the city to make the inquiry,
which Is expected to begin within q
week. No official notice has been had
from Consul General Lee that the Com
petitor cases have been transferred to
the civil courts, but assurances have
been had that Melton, the newspaper
correspondent, will at least be treated
with all Of the consideration that his
non-combatant connection with the ex-
pedition warrants. AS for the other
American prisoners, all Of the privi-
leges guaranteed by treaty are to be
extended. The state department has
taken the position that the crew of the
ill-fated Competitor, which was an
American vessel, are to be held for all
legal purposes as American citizens.
This covers not only the case Of Leav-
lit, who Is set down in the records as
a British subject, but also Alfred La
borde, the captain Of the vessel, as to
whose naturalization some doubt has
arisen, but who as sailing under the
American flag on an American vessel
will have all of the protection that any
full-blooded American could claim un-
der the treaty.

HAVANA, May S.-Via Key West
Among the documents recently cap
turned from the insurgent leader
Aguirre was found one appointing NAL
Gen. Pedro Diaz as the successor Of
Ruis Rivera. photographic reports
have been received to the effect that
heavy cannonading and the sound Of
musketry was recently heard at Rios
Grande, between Gregg de Avila and
La Reforma. 1t is supposed that
fight was going on between Brig. Gen.
Ruiz and the. rear guard of Gen. Go
mez. The Brillante Calota estates, the
property Of a German subject, Henry
Mcenck, formerly held by the insur-
gents, have been recovered by Span
ish forces. A Spanish garrison has been
stationed at this point. Captain Cen
eral Weyler is at Manivaragua direct
ing military operation. He is accom-
panied by Col. Pin'tos, and will remain
at that place three days. After that
he will return to Cienfuegos Twenty
regulars belonging to the Canarias
battalion have been placed under ar
rest. 1t has been discovered that they
were secret members of the Naingoes
association.

man newspapers that Gen. Count Won
WalderSee, the military governor of
Berlin, is the coming man, and that he
has already worked out the programme
for his future administration, which
has been approved by the emperor, is
pure fiction. His majesty, thus far, has
not offered the. chancellorship to any
one; but in case of Prince Hohenlohe,
who is thoroughly tired Of office, ac-
tually leaving his post, his most likely
successor is Count Philip Zu Eulen-
berg, the German ambassador at vi
emma. Won Waldersee was pushed for
office by the Prince Bismarck opposi-
ton, but he has no chance whatever.
The Dingley bill debate in the reich
stag has attracted much attention
throughout the empire and the news
papers are full Of it. The whole Agra
rian party still urges the government
to declare a tariff war against the
United States before, or immediately
after, the Dingley bill becomes law,
Even a considerable portion of the in
dustrial classes Of Germany favor such
plan. The government has received
memorials from the chambers of COM
merce of Dusseldorf, Crefeldt, AK la
Chapelle and Mayence. protesting
against the Dingley bill and urging
retaliation. The government, however,
will not yield to this pressure, especial
ly as 1t is doubtful whether the reich
stag will adopt such violent policy,
the Centre being thus far nom commit
tai and the Liberals Radicals and So
cialists being opposed to any tariff war
with the United States. This fact,
however, adds fresh fuel to the Agra
rians' keen hostility to the present

BANK STATEMENT.
Gold Movement Reflected in
the Showing for the Week.

NEW YORK, May 8.-The Financier
says The heavy decreases shown in
the statement Of the New York banks
for the week ending May 5, reflect, in
a belated manner, the movement of
gold to Europe during the last ten
days. The withdrawal Of legal ten
ders for gold export purposes is shown
In the contraction of $6,688,2 200 in the
legal tender item. The difference be-
tween the nine millions actually with
drawn and the reported decrease has
been made up, apparently, through
the receipts of money from the in
terror The total loss in cash during
the week was $6,447. 300, but it is note
worthy that the banks, while they have
been losing legal tenders, are gaining
gold, the increase since the export
movement began aggregating s500,00G.
The detailed statement shows that the
legal tenders, withdrawn by gold ex-
porters, were furnished principally by
the HanoYar National, the National
Bank of<the Republic, the Park Ma
tionaly lyfand one or two others Of the
larger clearing house institutions. The
gain in specie is distributed well
throughout the list, but as usual a
very small percentage of the banks
hold the greater part Of the gold now
in the clearing house vaults. The de-
crease of $911, 900 in loans is a disap-
pointing feature OF the statement 1t
was brought about probably through
liquidation in special accounts, as the
demand from mercantile sources is
stronger than one week ago. The oper-
ations noted resulted in decrease OF
$6,052,000 in net deposits, and the re-
serve was reduced $4,821 $50, bringing
the total to $44,095,97 which is lower
than has been reported since January
last. While the present rate for money
continues low, and has been scarcely
affected by the recent gold Withdraw
ais, 1t is worthy of mention that the
loans of New York banks are now
thirty millions larger than for the cor
responding week in 1896. The deposits,
however, are seventy-five millions lar
ger than at that time, and the ex-
cess reserve is $24,0OO,O00 larger The
enormous volume of imports now pour
ing into this center will without doubt
exercise an influence on the market
sooner or later. For the week ending
May 8, the total for dry goods and
merchandise was nearly eighteen and
cne-half million dollars, an increase of
three and one-half millions over the
previous week, and the largest, with
the exception Of 1872, in the history
of the country.
