BOSTON MAY CUT LOOSE.
Tired of Being Tied to New York She
Wants to Be a Central Re
serve City.

Boston. Mass, Jan. 14.-At the Boston
bank officials dinner the subject for dis
cussion was, "Shau Boston Be Made a
Central Reserve City?' At the present
time the Boston national banks are al
lowed to keep one-half of their Is per
cent reserve in New York on interest
If Boston itself shall become a central
reserve city the banks will be compelled
to keep the entire reserve in their own
cash boxes. The general opinion seems
to be that anything which will make Bos-
ton more metropolitan is to be desired
AS one prominent bank director put it:
1--WE have been tied to New York long
enough, and [ should favor making Bos-
ton a central reserve city in order that 1t
may take its proper standing in the fin
anciaI world
According to the act of 1887, whenever
three-fourths of the national banks in a
city of 200, 900 inhabitants or over shall pc
tition the comptroller of the treasury to
that effect that place shall be made a
central reserve city.

on the North side are unanimous in their
desire to have the old Kansas avenue
bridge placed at the foot of Gordon street,
thus connecting the North side with Oak
land. Many of the prominent men are
willing to 60 down into their pockets and
help pay removal expenses if disposed of
in this way, as they believe that DISPOSE
ton of the structure would result in the
greatest good to the greatest number.
A dog, supposed to have been poisoned
was chased down Kansas avenue this
morning by a colored policeman. At Cor
don street the dog turned west, where
the policeman shot him in front of Mr.
Parkhurst's house. The animal, black
and white shepherd, was a tramp and
had been making his home at different
places, and until recently had been at
E. d. SmalPs. The officer fired five
shots before killing it. After the third
shot the dog tried to rise up off of
the sidewalk and get away.

MOODY'S AIRY TALK.
Proposes Things That Are an Impos-
. sibility in New York-or Anywhere.


New York, Jan. 14-Dwight L. Moody
unfolded today his notion of Jesus
Christ's plan to save New York.
He read from the tenth chapter of St.
Luke the parable of the Good Samari-
tan. He urged all his hearers to be-
come good Samaritans. Then New
York would be saved in a short time.
There are 40, 600, 600 men and women
in this country who never go to
church" said Mr.. Moody. I'VE ought
to take the word of God to them I
said yesterday that there are 10000
Stephens in New York. I think it
should be possible to get 10000 good
Samaritans 1 don't think we're going
to do the world much good until we
understand that every man or woman
who is in trouble is our neighbor.
People write to me to ask me where
their churches. We want drawing
churches. If Gabriel himself were to
come down here there are some church
es he couldn't fill. I wish we had some
Samson to come along and carry off
the doors of our pews.
people ask how it is that in the
Catholic church the rich and the poor
worship together. It is because they
have got rid of the abominable pew
my dear friends, don't you think we
our rich people would let their poor
neighbors ride in their carriages once
in awhile? You just try it sometime,
madam.
Let your washerwoman go for a
drive in the park, and while she's out
YOU go and take her children and make
a kindergarten for them"

COACHMAN JOHNSON FREE.
Negro Who EIoped With Kate Neal
of Sweet Springs, Mo, Escapes
Punishment

Kansas City, Jan. A.-Advices received
in Kansas City last night from Missoula.
Mont, state that Joseph johnson was dis
charged from custody yesterday by order
of Judge Brantley. An officer has been
in Missoula for month waiting to bring
johnson back to Missouri to answer to the
charge of abduction. Johnson is the ne
gro coachman of Sweet Springs, Mo, who
ran away with Kate Neal, the daughter
of prominent citizen of that town. The
case attracted much attention through
out the country because of the social
standing of the young woman.
Threats were freely made throughout
Saline county in this state that a lynch
ing would occur if the efforts to bring
johnson back to Missouri proved success
full The negroes, both in this state and in
Montana, put forth every effort to pre-
vent the extradition of Johnson, and
money was freely used in fighting the
case in the courts.

more than 25 years he remained in
London, writing letters to The Tribune
and clipping the London papers. Little
by little his correspondence became
tinged with toryism, and finally, when
he returned to New York two years ago
as American correspondent of the Lon
don Times, it was seen that he had be-
come thoroughly Anglicized.
Had Mr.. Smalley confined his efforts
to writing a digest of American news
from an English standpoint and for Eng
1ish readers no one would have COM
planned, for he is undoubtedly we'll paid
for his work. But in England Mr.. Small
ey contracted the habit of making after
dinner speeches in which he belittled
everything American and praised every
thing British. These tactics took well
in London and won him great reputa-
tion as a postprandial orator. Evidently
he has been unable to break himself Of
this habit, for he has made the same
kind of speeches in New York, and the
result is that Mr.. Smal1ey has been Sc
Verely criticised.

A NEW CANCELLTNG STAMP.
Is to be introduced in the Postofhces
Throughout the Country.

Washington, Jan. IA new hand
stamp to be used for the cancellation
of mail matter will soon be adopted by
the postoffice department That now
in use has been found to be unsatisfac-
tory in several respects, the principal
defect being that the impression made
was not always complete and clearly
defined.
Several months ago the department
invited inventors to submit designs Tor
the new stamp whose principal ad-
vantages should be in the direction OF
simplicity, durability and cheapness
In Consequence about 200 such designs
were submitted. These have been IN
der discussion by a committee consist
ing of Alexander Grant, W. H. Lamar
and NJ w. Lewis. They have good
design which they think is best adapted
for the use of the service and have
made a report to Postmaster General
Gary The stamp will be introduced
gradually, taking the place of the cid
practica bic.

NEW BROOKLYN BRIDGE.
Another Structure Across East River
is Proposed.

New York, Jan. 14-Commissioner of
Bridges Shea offered a resolution at
the board of public improvements for
a new bridge over the East river be
tween the borough of Manhattan and
Brooklyn.
He asked that the commissioner Of
bridges be empowered to investigate
the necessity and feasibility of such an
Improvement.
Commissioner Shea said that the peo-
pie of Brooklyn were cIamoring for an
other bridge, and he thought it's cree
ton should be one of the first things
to be considered by the new board.
The resolution asked for an all rail-
road bridge.
DO you mean" asked President Hol-
ahan, that the bridge should be re-
stricted to railroads."
mo, not entirely" was the reply. 'It
may be used for all traffic.
The resolution was adopted, and the
result of the investigation will be re-
norted to the board.

TO STOP BLACK ROT.
Department of Agriculture Makes
recommendation on the Subject.

Department of Agriculture Makes
recommendation on the Subject.
Washington, Jan. 14-Farmers' bulletin
No. 68, just issued by the agricultural de-
partment, treats Of the black rot of the
cabbage. 1t was prepared by Erwin F.
Smith, chief of the bureau of vegetable
physiology and pathology and describes
the nature and prevalence of the disease,
the sources of infection, and gives prac-
teal suggestions for its prevention. The
disease is known to cabbage growers I'M
der different names, the com1nonest OF
which are stem rot and 'sblack rot" Al
though it has come into prominence only
within the last few years, it is said to be
a serious hindrance to cabbage growing in
several states. No way is known Of
curing the disease or of entirely Kidding a.
locality of it when once it is well estab-
hshed. The whole subject of treatment
may be summed up in one word-preven-
ton. The disease is not confined to cab>
bage, but attacks a number of species be-
longing to the mustard family. 1t was
studied in the field for the first time by
the author last year, who visited the fol-
lowing places: Saginaw, Mich; Racine,
Wis; Clyde, O.; Rochester, N. Y, and
Washington, D. c. In all these Iocali-
ties it has obtained a strong foothold and
has already done serious damage. The
injury at Racine during the last three
years probably exceeds 800, 600
Many suggestions were given for the
prevention. The planting of other crops
for a long series of years, the bulletin
says, seems to be the only satisfactory
way of getting rid of it after once becom-
ing serious. The belief is expressed that
no danger is likely to ensue from the con-
sumption of cabbage slightly affected with
the rot, because the germ does not grow
at blood heat and is easily destroyed by
cooking.

mas since that Mr. Clark has done the
same thing. This year his bill was
about $50.
So quietly does Mr.. Clark do such
little acts of kindness as this that al
though many people in Boston have
heard of him in an indefinite way, prob
ably not one in thousand residents of
the Hub know him by sight Paying
ways in which he spends his money in
charity. He has helped many accused
criminals by paying the expenses Of
their defense. He believes that all ao-
Cused persons should have every chance
of proving their innocence. He does
much for the poor children of Boston,
and more than one trip of the floating
hospital has been made at his expense.
He is not religious enthusiast, but his
charity is none the less broad and deep.
Mr.. Clark comes from an old Boston
family, his grandfather having been a
member of the famous Boston tea party.
He enjoys his wealth himself, living in
a fine Beacon street home in winter and
at Cohagset in summer. He belongs to

don, but Not For New York.
George W. Smalley has broken out
again. At the recent banquet of the
Brooklyn New England society he once
more gave vent to his anti-Amerioan
and English sentiments, causing no
end of criticism. SmaIIey is old enough
to know better, for he is nearly 65.
Once upon time Smalley was not only
an American, but New Highlander. It
was SO long ago that SmalIey seems to
have forgotten it.
When Mr. Sma1Iey left his editorial
chair in the New York Tribune Office in
1866 to collect European war news, he
was loyal American. He had made a
success as a war correspondent during
the civil war and was regarded by Hor-
ace Greeley as the leading American
journalist. He came back only to return
to London year later for the purpose
of establishing permanent bureau there
for the collection of foreign news. For
