The black, smiths were kept exceedingly
busy on Monday in shoeing hcr;es. So
great wa the rush that all could not be
accommodated The demand was urgent,
however and they worked early and late.
Nearly every horse in the city needed

Many horses fell on tho icy bricks and al
though few if any we're seriously injured,

annoyance The smiths for the time be-

win Be Made. ~
New York, Dec. 2S.-With the an
rouncement of the dividends to be paid
next month by the various savings
banks Of this city there Is general
tendency to pay lower rate of in
terest than heretofore. A Nw years
ago practically all the older banks were
paying interest at per cent per an
mum, but gradually this has been
,changed SO that next year interest will
be 3h per cent. President McMann, of
the Emigrant Industrial Savings bank,
said today:s
Conditions are such now that the
various banks are not earning as much
as few years ago, and consequently
1t is inpracticable to pay rate of in
terest that would perhaps tend to re-
duce the surplus The tendency Is
even toward lower rate, say 3 per
cent-not this year or even next, per-
haps, but eventually. Most of the 6
per cent government bonds have ma
tured, and but few years can elapse
before they are all redeemed. While
banks held these bonds it was possible
to pay per cent, but now in taking
care of our new business 1t is not pos
sible for bank to earn more than 81
per cent on its capital. Money on call
ID at present very cheap, and there
must be, of necessity, a retrenchment
of some kind. Real estate cannot be
counted on too strongly, and today we
cannot get In some' instances more
than Az per cent on the very best bond
and mortgage"
President J. H. Rhoades, Of the Green
wich Savings bank, said there was a
general feeling, especially up the state,
that under present conditions Of in
vestment and returns 4 per cent was
too high, and undoubtedly the bankers
would welcome any general movement
to reduce the rate. Indeed, Mr.
Rhoades had been asked to lend his
Influence in this direction. The fact
that railroads could refund their bonds
at 3ks per cent showed apparently that
savings banks We're in many instances
giving higher rate of interest than
conditions warranted. Mr.. Rhoades
thought that ultimately all savings
banks would reduce their rates to 3A
per cent, and possibly to 3 per cent.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The latest

answer of the manufacturers have

A PATRIOTIC ODE.
Poor, mean ana despicable elves,
L nj xsr 4 L, n. L.

Poor, mean ana despicable elves,
i pity you with all my heart,
Whose all is conferred in yourselves,
Who fail to act the manly part.
But like the snarling boardyari dogs ..
Bite at the nand that fain would feed,
Who grovel in the mre like hogs
Or degenerate, lower breed.
And they would tarnish our fair name,
And drag and trample in the mire,
And try to brandwith guilt and shame.
That heritage Of son and sire
!. am myself Blue Hens Chick,
Adopted not by right of birth,
But with that brood who fight to lick,
l claim this spot of mother earth.
Who that had ever drunk draught
OF water from that rippling stream,
But felt inspired ere he had quaffed
With warriors fire and poets dream;
Mono but craven heart, indeed,
Could roam those lovely banks of thine
And like patriot would not bleed
Inspired by thee, fair Brandywine.
Go! Let us guard our daughters dear, X.
From their communicating touch,
From those who would their honor smear:
May heaven protsct our maids from such.
All things are pure to those who see,
With heart and mind that's pure and
right,
So in that sacred cup let me
Pledge Maids of Delaware to. night.
