REBATES ARE ALL RIGHT.

According to the decision of Judge
Grosscup in the Santa Fe rebate case
the granting of rebates is not a VIOLA
ton of the interstate commerce law.
To the ordinary observer it will be
difficult to distinguish any difference
between granting a special rate, which
the law fOrbids, and charging the reg
ular rate and afterwards returning
portion of the charge to the shipper.
Judge Grosscup says, however. that the
paying of rebates is perfectly legiti-
mate provided it is not done in pursu-
ance of an agreement to do so. If this
ruling stand, then the law as it relates
TO rates becomes worthless. for certain
ly gentlemen of large business interests
can trust to the honor of on another
in doing the right thing.
Agreements are unnecessary. No
agreement could be proven in this case,
probably because there was none. The
fact that the rebates were paid is not
disputed. The parties to the transac
ton no doubt understood thoroughly
that an agreement regarding these re-
bates would be an infraction of the
law
There is probably no valid reson why
the country should not have known ali
of this three years ago. Congress
might have had the law in working
order by this time

London, Jan. 1.-Bishop Hartzell of
Cincinnati, accompanied by DR.. Fowler
and Professor Camphor and wife, sail
ed from Liverpool for Africa a few days
ago. The object of the bishops jour
ney is, first, the establishment of a hos

scr Camphor and his wife will engage
in missionary work. From Liberia
Bishop Hartzel will proceed to the

care of his church Since he arrived in
England, three weeks ago, Bishop
Hartzel has spent over a week in
hospital where he was obliged to I'M

ton was very successful, and he recov-
cred rapidly, and left here in the best
of health and spirits. The party are

Pennington, n. J., Jan. 1.-THE most
complete line of hardware ever discov-
cred in a COW was found yesterday. The

FOR BEING A SUBSTITUTE.
Colored Man Who Went to the War
in Another's Stead Begins Suit.

Muncie, Ind, Jan. 11.-Early in the SOS
Foster Fry was a young slave in Ken
lucky A white man stole him away
from his master under prete,,t of being
his benefactor. The Ohio river was
safely crossed and Indianapolis was
reached Fry wanted to stay there,
but his alleged friend wanted to get the
colored man east to Maryland and sell
him. The white man was riding in
the caboose of a freight train, while his
negro charge was in box car. At
Muncie Fry had a chance to escape
and took advantage of it,
He returned to Indianapolis and there
was given 81, 500 to act as substitute for
a man in the army. After being given
the cash the man persuaded Fry to
loan him 81 200 of the money until he
returned from the war. The colOred
man came back but could never locate
the man until recently and steps are be-
ing taken to collect the money with
81, 900 interest, as the debtor is said to
be a rich man. Fry will not divulge
the mans name.

REcEIvER IoHN c. M,KEoN.


immediate payment of the greater part
of the banks capital when the money is
most likely invested in such manner
that it cannot be called in at once. To
save bank in this extremity there is a
provision in the banking laws by which
savings banks may decline to pay depos-
itors in full on demand, but may re-
quire notice of go days.
One of the most memorable runs in
the history of Chicago was in 1898,
when the Illinois Trust and Savings
bank tried to bring its panic stricken
depositOrs to their senses by parade of
strength. The depositors gathered by
thousands and were formed into long
lines running almost around the block.
The bank attempted to meet all de-
mands. The force of paying tellers was
quadrupled, all rules regarding business
hours We're cast aside, and the money
was showed out as fast as a big corps of
experts could count it. But these tactics
did not have the required effect, and, al
though the bank was kept open nearly
all night and until the last man in line
had received his cash, more depositors
came the next morning, and 1T was sew
eral days before confidence was restored.
A run on a savings bank was started
not long ago in New York state by the
mere fact that a man had dropped dead
in front of the bank. A crowd collected,
dapositors became frightened, and the
original cause of the disturbance was
forgotten in the mad rush to Withdraw
money. The result was so serious that
the bank was eventually obliged to close
its doors.
While people who become so easily
frightened are often called harebrained
lunatics, there is really little to wonder
at in their conduct. Knowing little of
financial affairs, they jump at conclu-
sions and do the very thing which will
hurt their own interests.
Then there are the tragic features
Connected with the Chicago failure
these have been more startling than
usual. First came the suicide of Banker
Wasmansdorff, whose firm was pulled
down in the general smash. Then came
the suicide of w. A. Hammond, the
second vice president of tine institution
which he was charged with wreckina
These developments were almost as
startling as the initial catastrophe.
And after the smoke has all cleared
away comes the long and often tedious
readjustment, when the bank examiner,
with his corps of experts, spends weary
hours over long columns of figures
which have been juggled until they are
jun bled into an almost inextricable tan
gle. This part of the work of the affairs
of the Illinois National bank is in
charge of John c. McKeon, who has
been appointed receiver by Comptroller
Eckels. He is one of the most expert ac-
countants in the country and will prob
ably be able to unraveI the snarl in due
time. JOHN f. WuLoUGHBY.

M'KINLEY'S CLOTHES.
His Tailor Describes His inaugural
Suit.

Cleveland. o., Jan. 11.-Henry Koebel
a local tailor will commence work on
Maj. McKinley's inauguration suit in a
few days.
1t will be of black vicuna worsted
the goods being a present to the major
by the Hockanum Wooden company of
Rockville Conn.
The original piece was ready weeks
ago, and the present delay was occas-
toned by the fact that another piece
had to be especially manufactured as
width This was necesitated by the fact
that the major is quite a stout man,
and Mr.. Koebel wished to have no
pieces in the skirt of the coat.
Mr.. KOebel is also the tailor for Mr.
Hanna and Colonel Myron T. Herrick.
In speaking of the major as a subject
for a tailor, Mr.. Koebel makes these
observations:
Mr.. Mckinley is the easiest man to
fit with whom 1 ever had any expert
ence. He is about feet 8 inches in
height, just the stature of the averag e
man, and in all the time 1 have served
him l have never once had him try on
a single garment which ] manufactured
for him before delivering it. However,
what will appear the strangest thing of
all, is that Major Mckinley never Sc
1ects or even inSpectS the piece of cloth
from which his suits are made. He
will come here and say:
well, you know what sort of a suit
I want and that will end the matter
suit is sent home to him.
The waist measure of the president
elect exceeds his breast measure, but
the length and other dimensions en-
plOyed in the manufacture do not differ
from those of the average man of his
stature.
Mr.. Koebel manufactured the suit which
was given to him Christmas present
by the members of the Standard Ameri-
can Merino Sheep Breeders association
and the black cheViot which was
manufactured by the Sawyer Wooden
Mills at Dover. n. H, from material fur
nished by members of the above mention
ed association. The major also has an
overcoat made at about the same time
The material used the finest black
Danish patent beaver.
The major is not a hard man to please,
and he usually sends the tailor a note of
thanks after the receipt of each suit Mrs.
Mckinley takes a considerable interest in
her husbands attire, and has often ex-
pressed opinion in the matter The
president-elect hasn't any eccentricities
in the matter of dress, although he has
all his garments lined throughout with
silk-and, moreover. allows only silk Of
American manufacture to be used for
that purpose.
