REMARKABLE STATEMENT.
Weekly Showing of the Banks I'm
usual in It's Nature

NEW YORK, June 5.-The Financier
says: The statement Of the associated
banks Of New York city for the week
ending June 5, is in many ways one
Of the most remarkable ever issued.
Superf1cially and even accurately it in
dicateS an expansion in business the
loans increasing $4,409, 600. A closer
analysis of the statement, however, re-
Veals some very curious results, due
almost entirely to the consolidation Of
two Of the larger New York banks.
Thus, for the week ending May 29, the
total loans Of the sixty-five clearing
Third and National City banks, were
$474, ,425, 400. For the week ending June
the loans Of the same sixty-five banks
We're $4746S5, 900, an increase of only
$26O500. The great increase of over
four million dollars in the current
statement, therefore, is to be found in
the operation Of two banks. and an
parently is capable of easy solution
For the week ending May 20 the loans
Of the National City and the Third Ma
tfonal banks combined were S33. .O84 400
For the week ending June they were
$S7, 232, 800, an increase Of $4,148, 500. The
deposits also show similar result
when analyZed closely. The variations
Of the two banks account for s4,241,-
500 of the total expansion Of $5,655, 100
reported by the sixty-seven clearing
house banks. The deposits of the Ma
tional City alone are now $4S, LAG, 900.
For all that, the statement, thus strip
ped Of its ambiguous features, seems
to show technical changes, rather than
real business expansion, but 1t must
be said that the banks are doing a
largely increased business.

AIdrich and the Tariff.
Rhode Island Man Making the
Fight of His Life.

ions are always replete with informa-
ton.
And Wisconsin possesses an intellect
ual treasure far superior to Villas IN
the person of John c. Spooner. his
successor. He returns to the senate in
the halo of brilliant achievements in
that body years ago. His speeches re-
call the days of Doolittle and Matt
Carpenter.
The young state of Utah has up
heaved a star of the first magnitude
in Senator Frank Cannon. His speeches
On Cuba and on the tariff have placeu
him in the front rank They were flow
cry, yet logical; metaphorical, yet argu-
mentative; sympathetical and dlrect
They were delivered without notes ana
in extreme good taste.
On the Democratic side stands John
w. Daniel, of Virginia, whose Roman
face is indicative of the eloquence OF
bygone age. Virginians see in nm
worthy successor OF Patrick henry
and Richard Henry Lee.
Then there is Senator Morgan, or
Alabama, a beacon light that steadily
illuminates our foreign relations, anu
Tillraan, of South Carolina, brandishing
his pitchfork like Mephistopheles anu
creating almost as much terror.
These and many others awaken inter-
est in the breasts Of the f1edgling legis-
of the house to the noisy senate cham
Der. Above them all towers the form
Of Nelson w. Aldrich, Of Rhode Island
He has no eloquence in store, nor does
he ever resort to iridescent imagery;
but he bristles with facts. He is the
leader of the fight between the senate
and the house over the tariff schedules
Whether victory or defeat crowns his
efforts, he is making fight that Will
be felt for years to come. He has
made the tariff a study for a long
tine, ard the senate amendments are
supposed to embody the result Of his
Investigations. The eyes of the ma nu-
facturers and business men Of the
country are fastened upon him, as the
result will be of vital Importance to
their interests Their anxiety is shown
when you reflect that circulars suffi-
cient in number to bury the capitol
have been sent to congressman since
the bill was reported to the senate.
But the senate will draw the real
lines of battle. 1t can make the bill to
please itself, but whether it will be
one that will please the house time and
a conference committee alone can dis
close. Amos j. Cummings.

TEN YEARS AN INVALID.
Now Restored to Perfect Health and
Able to Perform All Household
Duties-A Cure After Skilled Ply
sfcians Had Failed.

From the Industrial News, Jackson, Mich.
Mrs Clara Hazelton, of Webberville,
Michigan, related to a representative
of the Industrial News the story OF
her cure from eczema and other ills,
which has few if any equals in this
part of the country, and puzzled the
most learned physicians. She said:
MY husbands name is John G.
HaZelton. He is a farmer and we live
in Leroy, our post office address being
Webberville, Mich. l am thirty years
of age, and for over ten years 1 have
suffered from chronic eczema, female
weakness and a combination of kidney
and bladder troubles.
81 employed the most skilled physi-
clan we could get, but my case went
from bad to worse, until a few years
ago womb trouble and painful menses
added to my misery. / became so weak
and helpless that it became entirely
impossible for me to perform my home
duties. l tried again different physi-
clans. but did not receive the slightest
relief, and l finally gave up all hope
of ever getting better.
Last June l read in the Jackson In
GuStrial News of the case of a lady
who was cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and, although she had only part
of the difficulties with which l was
afflicted and they had been of less
duration, 1 concluded to give DR.. Viii
hams Pink Pills a trial in the hope
that they might relieve me to some ,eX-
tent. On the twentieth of June
bought the first box and commenced
taking them according to directions
After using three boxes L began to feel
improved, and [ have now taken in all
nine boxes, and am able to perform all
my household duties. I am, however,
somewhat weak, but am without pain
or suffering. l am now taking the
tenth box. and shall continue TO use
the pills a short time longer and shall
never be without them again if any
signs Of my former troubles should
make their appearance. I can heartily
recommend these wonderful little heal
ers to all women suffering with any
of the troubles with which have been
afflicted, and 1 will cheerfully answer
any inquiries regarding my wonderful
cure
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in
Condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness

MurderOus Maniac Escapes
From Medical Lakes
Asylum.
With Giant Strength He Tears
an Iron Screen From His
Cell Window.
Though the Madman Is Manacled, the
Residents of the Vicinity Fear
His Lust for Blood.

MEDICAL LAKE, Or, Feb 26.-
Thomas Devine, the most desperate in.
sane criminal ever consigned to the State
hospital here, made his escape last night
ana is still at large. The well-known
strength and murjerous tendencies oi
Devine have caused him to be CLOSELY
guarded, and he was almost constantly
handcuffed. Two years ago he broke out
of his room ct the hospital, procured an
oaken mop stick from q ward washroom,
and, lying in wait for Night Watchman
Winn, almost killed him and then esca ped
from the building. He was recaptured on
the YAKIMA Indian reservation and has
since worn handouts, when not personally
attended.
During the supper hour last evening,
Devine succeeded in evading his keepers
long enough to wrench off an iron screen
and break the glass of the window of his
room. The room Is in the second story.
but the desperate fellow dropped to the
ground. some twenty feet, while still
handcuffed, and escaped in the darkness.
The strength of the man was evidenced
by the comparative ease with which he
tore out three locks of the iron screen.
His escape was soon discovered and Super
intendent Semple dispatched searching
parties in all directions and notified the
officials OF the surrounding towns by tele-
graph to be on the lookout. As Devine
wears handouts and is without hat or
coat it would seem that it will be easy to
locate him. He is a giant in physique,
weighs about 195 pounds. has black hair
and eyes and is of dark complexion. His
homicidal tendencies render him a very
dangerous lunatic to be at large.

PORTLAND PAWNSH0P ROMANCE
Sister and Brother Reunited Through the
Medium of Pledged
f..u

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 26.-The dis
covery of an amethyst seal ring in the
show-window OF pawnshop yesterday
will lead to the reunion of a brother and
sister who had not seen or heard of each
other in two decades.
Mrs. S. E. Darlington of Cambridge.
Mass, came to Portland few days ago
on visit to friends prior to her leaving
for Southern California in search of
health. Yesterday morning, while
promenading with the woman whom she
is visiting, her attention was casually
drawn to pawnbroker's show-window.
She saw ring which struck her as being
one she had once seen before, and Mrs.
Darlington asked the broker to allow her
TO inspect it. The request was readily
granted, and to her great amazement she
found engraved on the inside of the ring
"E. w. B.. from mother"
''Why, that's my brothers ring" ex-
claimed Mrs. Darlington. Where did
you get itf'
plled that early this month The owner bor-
rowed IS on it to make up a sufficient sum
to carry him to Sacramento. He at that
time requested the broker not 10 dispose
OF the ring unoer any circumstances, add
ing that 1t was a gift from his dead
mother and that he would redeem it in
thirty or forty days. He left his Sacra-
mento address with the present custodian
of the memento.
Mrs. Darlington was prepared to re-
deem it at once, but the broker declined
to accommodate her without the presenta-
tion of the pawn-ticket. He, however,
gave Mrs. Darlington her broth er's ad-
dress and she-at once availed herself of
the use of the wires. AT 4 O'Clock yester-
dau aftarnnnn 4ha n vi
answer from her brother and tonight she
left to meet him.
