Two American captains were recently relating their experiences on different voyages. One of them told the follow- ing story: About one p. m. on March 2 my ship was proceeding under full sail when a cloud about the size Of a, mans hand was observed on the hori- zon. It came on, and as it neared the ship we discovered thatit was composed of locusts. They settled on the sails and you couldn't see a bit of canvas left on the yards" '.Ah," said the other captain, T can quite believe that, for at about 3:3o p. m. on March my vessel was proceeding under full sail when we observed small cloud on the horizon. As it approached the ship we discovered that it was a cloud of le- cpsts, and as they passed our vessel we saw that every man Jack of them had a pair of No. canvas trousers OF - Brazil Nut.

brought against him personally on the
theory that although he received the
money as treasurer, he was liable per-
sonally because he had no legal right
to receive it. The counsel of the rail
road company urged that the act of
the general assembly providing for
the endowment OF the state university
was in contravention with the pro-
vision of the constitution. Judge
Klein held that this contention did not
appear to be sound, and cited num-

AMERICAN BANKERS.

Addresses the Convention.
The FINANCIAL DEPRESSION OVER
Congress Criticised for Its Legislation In
Regard to COlnage-.A Belief That We

ing and Currency system.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 19.-When the
second days session Of the American
bankers convention began, the hal
was crowded with men of money and
interested auditors. The day was de-
voted largely to the reading of adj
dresses, ,he one which attracted the
most interest being by James II. Eek
els, comptroller of the currency. He
began.
The country stands rid. for some years at
least, OF tariff agitation and irrespective Of the
merits or dement's Of the new act, every bust
ness man knows In so far as 1t Is concerned,
upon what basis to engage in manufacturing,
trade and commerce. The evidence accumu-
lates with each days adyces that the long con-
tlnued depression IN financial circles has
passed and, thanks To five years OF forced
economy and cessation of speculation, coupled
with to-day's abundant harvests and remuner-
alive prices TO the agriculturists. a new pros
perity is coming to the people. This prosper
ity, II 1t Is to be Of real worth, ought to be per-
manent In character and reach to all classes
and interests
Mr.. Eckels said that no thoughtful
student of affairs could fail to know
how largely as contributing element
to past idleness, agitation, distress
and poverty had been the extravaganza
that has entered into the Americans
everyday life, and he also attributed
the bad effects mentioned in a meas
ure to rash speculation by bankers.
The speaker sharply criticised congress
in It's relation to coinage, saying in
part:
BY the operation of the Bland-Allison act
was caused the coinage Of many millions of
silver dollars ut value far more than the COM
mercial value OF the silver metal In them and
Of far less value than the metal in the gold
dollar with which 1t is provided they shall be
OF equal legal tender value and alongside Of
which they are expected to circulate. And as
II to add the browning act to series Of COM
pllcat0ns already perplexing to an unheard Of
degree, the Sherman law has given us still
other silver dollars and treasury notes to
burden an already overburdened gold re-
serve without In the smallest measure adding
to Its safeguards. We search In vain
to find some solid foundation upon
which oil this structure rests but the statute
books reveal nothing, save that there Is drawn
about It what IL deemed "the sacred circle Of
