hellish theft as that.
1t was done, too, by officials of that
nation which Mr.. Skeels holds up to
us as one "where national and munic-
ipal affairs are conducted as honestly
as private businesses.
Viewed at in one light, however,
Mr.. Skeels may be taken to be
partially correct. The United States
Government is being robbed right and
left just at the present time. The
robbery is not being done by her
officials, however, but by contractors.
A very strong instance in point comes
from San Francisco. where millionaire
merchants haYe foistered upon the
soldiers clothing which can be nothing
else but the outcome of a premediated
swlndle. To the credit Of the govern
ment officials, whom Mr.. Skeels
reproaches however, let it be said that
these suits we're condemned, and that
Brigadier. General Charles King will
have them made oyer again.
The men guilty Of that infamy are
great merchants; among the first
citizens, probably, of the California

is due not only TO the originality and

TO the care and skill with which it is

all the importance Of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the

assist one in avoiding the worthless

week the operations seem to have been
confined to the larger banks. The de
doSits OF the Hanover, the National
Park and the National City banks are
81, 900, 600 larger than during the pre-
viouS week.
Whether this Is due to special opera
tons cannot be definitely Stated. hut IL
shows that the remaining banks have
less money in hand than at the close
on January Sth. The factors that lead
TO the gain in cash. however. are rather
we'll defined. and hey may be expected
to affect other institutions having
large country connections from this
time on. AS was pointed out last
week, the enormous interior movement
at this season forces down money rates
and compels capital to seek better rates
abroad-in other words it Ia to gold
exports. But the anomaly is presented
Of our idle money being invested in
foreign exchange on this side OF the
water. Europe is now using at least
$50, 00O. 900 American money, in che form
Of deferred credits, and unless rates
abroad go to a very low level, there Is

The New York Stock Market

New York. January 5.-The stock mar
ket was subjected to a rather drastic
liquidation of speculative holdings today
in continuation of the movement of yes
terday. The selling was due to a feel
ing tina il was safer to take profits at
the present level than to retain holdings
over Sunday. The situation at Havana
was the motive OF the selling. There is
no assurance felt that there may not be
a sudden development of a dangerous
situation there. which would necessitate
measures by the United States naval
forces to protect the interests of Amer
lean citizens resident in Havana. Fears
Of this We're somewhat aggravated by the
persistent selling Of houses with Wash
ington connections. This was taken TO
reflect a feeling of apprehension in OIL
cial circles as to the outcome OF the situ-
alton. OF course the professional trad
erS were ready to turn sellers without
further inducement. on the general prin-
ciple that prices go down much more
easily and quickly than they go up. The
bear attack was vigorous and effective
and margins being wiped out in many
cases, large holdings were thrown over
to save losses, thus adding to the weak
ness OF the market. The sharp rally at
the close on the covering of SECrt lines
put out earlier indicated that bear sell
ing made up a considerable proportion Of
the whole.
Today's and yesterdays reaction in
the stock market put an end to the Pc
riod of strength and activity earlier in
the week, which was regarded as Civ
ing good promise Of the usually expected
January boom in prices. Only those
stocks which scored extreme advances
early in the week have anything left to
show for II, the general level of the
market being decidedly lower than at
last Saturdays close. The special points
of vantage on which the strength of the
market held early in rs week were the
Northern Pacific stocks ard Union Pa
cific and its various affiliated and con-
Meeting lines, the source of this strength
| being the assurance of the continuance
of the Union Pacifc's old outlet TO the
| Pacific coast. Northern Pacific and the
Union Pacific group also enjoyed the ben
eft OF anticipations of a large klondike

Some Negro CharacteristIc..

1t is the general impression with Those
n negroes character that they are
fndolent and untuu suworthy. The
writer Of this has employed many ne
roe IN the farm. and his experience
is that re they are paid promptly. treat
ed justly, fed beautifully and given
an occasional holiday. they. as a rule.
may be depended upon to do good work
and are faithful to ther trusts. Treat
ed in his manner they work well even
when not under the eye of the master.
1t is the highest ambition of a negro
work than himself In the ieid. To per-
NIT this would be to subject himself
TO h rfd3cule OF his fellows. In all
kinds OF laborious toll the negro likes
10 excel. Cutting timber in the forest:

Of logs n the lifting of heavy weights

are also preferred IN the south IN the

towns of haywood, Teaneck, Lenoia and
Leonia Heights. He covers this route
daily, sometimes going over it twice a
day. Up to a year ago last spring he
used a horse and buggy in his work.
Then he took to the bicycle, quickly real
izing its superiority for his purposes.
At the beginning of 1897 Mr.. Harrison
figured the prospective amount of riding
he would do during the year at q .OOD
miles, enough to win the record for him.
He stuck to his schedule through almost
all kinds OF weather. with the satisfac-
tory result mentioned above. He rode
his Crescent bicycle throughout the en-
tire year. and his tires lasted him for
1900 miles. In riding that distance he
had only two punctures.
When he started the years riding he
weighed 126 pounds. Now his weight is
1N pounds. His lowest weight during the
hot weather was 116 pounds.
The bicycle bachelor Of The New York
Press has been doing some more reflect
