turers and jobbers. but to the hun
dreds of thousands of retail merchants
of every kind, and through them the
great public. The Credit Men have
chosen as speakers men eminent in the
world of business. and have decided
that the meeting will be open ar all
times to discussion by anyone who de-
sires to take part.
Among the speakers will be Comp
troller Eckels. who has accepted an in
vitation TO speak on Finance" Other
addresses will be: individual Cred

the Fourth National Bank of New York;

There will probably be at least 500

expect to attend the sessions regularly.
The Association of Credit Men has one
great object in view. As local men,

deadbeat." The association has exist
ed under its present organization only
one year. At the first convention, held
in Toledo. O.. in 1896 permanent ma
tional organization was formed The
membership is constantly increasing.
Credit men say that appalling abuses
have gradually crept into the credit sys-
tenn until the burden presses heavily
upon the shoulders of merchants. There
are dissimilarities in the various State
laws relative to the relations of debtor
and creditor. and in many cases the
laws foster corruption through inabil-
ity to deal adequately with the Offend
ers of Justice. These conditions are the
cause of heavy losses to merchants and
are conducive to unrest and distrust.
The credit men viii try to improve these
conditions by legislation and an under

THE CASE WILL BE TESTED.

Some time in January last Kid and
Kelly secured II license from the city au-
thorities to run what they called Il
Jenny Lind' wheel. Chief of Police
Dyer contended that the wheel was moth
ing more than q gambling device in which
the by stander put his nickel on what he
supposed would be the winning horse.
He had already before after much time
and trouble succeeded in driving sim
liar device out of town and was deter
mined to test the law in this latter case.
The matter was brought up two or more
times in the police court and the decision
was against the chief of police. Council,
however, has recently passed Il special or
dinance applicable to such cases and yes.

!NTHE HOSPITAL.
Mr.. Jeter is at Baltimore Being Treated
For Dog Bite.


The Baltimore Sun yesterday said:
Mr.. j. NJ. Jeter, farmer near ROa-
noke, Va, came to Baltimore yesterday
to receive the Pasteur treatment ut the
City Hospital liE consequence of having
been bitten by dog Wednesday. He
was given an injection of virus by Prof.
n. G.. Keirle and DIR. John Ruhrah, who
will continue the treatment for two
weeks.
The dog which bit Mr.. Jeter was a
large one, which had belonged to him for
some time. Last Saturday the dog dis
appeared from home and was gone until
Wednesday. On his return he acted
queerly, and when Mr.. Jeter approached
him and said something to him the ami
NAL suddenly jumped at him and bit
him severely on the arm. 1t was subse-
quently learned that while the dog was
away he had been bitten, with mum Der
of other dogs, by a dog which was thought
to have gone mad. Mr.. Jeter's dog was
shot.
Last night DR.. Ruhrah autographed to
Roanoke for the carcass of the dog to be
sent to Baltimore.
Mr.. Jeter after being bitten was at
tended by DR.. J. N. Lewis, coroner OF
Roanoke, and former resident physician
of the City Hospital, who advised Mr..
Jeter to come to Baltimore and take the
Pasteur treatment.

TROOPS TO LEAVE CUBA.
The Withdrawal of II Part Of the Spanish

Army.
Washington, April 17-Accor'ling to
information received from trustworthy
sources here. the withdrawal of at least
II part of the great army that Spain has
maintained for several years in the island
OF Cuba will begin when the rainy sea-
son sets in within IL few days.
The initial movement will be the de-
parture of 10000 Spanish troops from
Havana for Spain, and within Il short
time after that 80, 600 troops, it is under
stood, will follow. Whether this move
is to be construed in favor of or against
the insurgents is not possible now &c say.
The Spanish insist positively that it
means only that little or nothing remains
of the instruction; that Gomez has only
about fifty or a hundred followers and
that to watch these under the condition
in which the campaign has been necessa-
rily conducted IA few thousand men are
quite as effective as an army of 1S0, 900
men, which has been maintained in Cuba
The Cuban contingent on the other
hand insist that the Spanish financial re-
sources are exhausted ard that the troops
are to he withdrawn because of lack of
money to keep them in service.
