Only a short Engagement.
The engagement commenced at 1851

also shelled. About IL eight.ineh shells
were fired from the eastern forts. but

were fired from the half completed bat.

shells- All the ships engaged showed ex,

took effect. The forts which were BON.

1t is announced that the Eiffel tower

that many of the eXcitable Partisan

building in Washington, D. c., moves
quite a distance every day, and in this
connection a curious experiment was
tried to show how far out Of plumb it
usually goes. a thin wire was hung
from h inner topmost point OF he
dome. On the lower end OF the wire
was a plumb-bob. in the lower point
of which was inserted a lead pencil.
It just touched the floor Of the rotun-

THE HISTORY OF THE LEATHER
PURSE.

The organ OF the German leather
trade, Der Ledermarkt, regrets that
last year vas not duly observed as the
Jubilee of the modern leather purse"
The older folk among us will remem-
Der some of h predecessors of the
"pOrteanOnnaie." The most popular of
these was a knitted tub or pipe, closed
at each end, with an opening on one
side, and provided with two metal slip
rings. The neat and hand portemon-
male was the invention of a German
hcOkbinder's apprentice in America,
Karl Heue by name, N his novel
purse first came into the market in the
year 1847. The inventor Neglected to
patent his new leather ~pOrtenonnaie
with a steel clasp and it was quickly
initiated all over the world, otherwise
Heue would probably have become a
very rich man. Since hat date the
-pOrtemOnnaie has undergone a series
of eVOlutiOns in form, material, and
completeness, but the young Heue, &C
cOrding to the Ledermarkt, provided
the germ out of which all OUR modern
pocket purses have been developed

A TRIBUTE TO CHRISTIANITY.

In this g Of widespread skepticism
a profession Of sincere religious con
Nctions by a man of eminence is ra-
freshing. "A notable instance was pre-
sented when Captain A. F. Mahan. the
worlds foremost writer and authority
on naval subjects, delivered an address
at a recent Lenten service in the Epis-
copal Church of the Holy Trinity, in
Brooklyn. Captain Mahan made no
claim to being an expert in theology.
but he declared that for thirty years
he had been an earnest believer in
Christianity, and had trusted in a per
sonal God. He had found his faith a
source of happiness, and it had COM
forted and supported him in times Of
trouble and trial. The appearance of a
man Of the Captains great ability and
worldwide reputation, in a Christian
pulpit is a spectacle which should ap-
peal strongly to all Thoughtful minds.
1t signifies that, despite all the preva-
lent doubt and unbelief, man has a re-
ligious nature and religious needs which
u and will assert themselves, and
that religion is still, and must continue
to be, a mighty power in the world

Weekly Bank Statement

New York, April 16.-The weekly
bank statement shows the following
changes. Surplus reserve. increased
81, 3O9, 500: loans, decreased 81. 697. 900:
specie, increased 1854. 400; legal ten
ders, decreased SO, S24, 200; deposits, de-
creased Sc, 81 600: circulation. increas-
ed s55, 500. The banks now hold S37,373,-
075, in excess Of the requirements or
the % per cent. rule.
The Financier says: Despite the
heavy and continued demand for funds
from the interior, the clearing house
banks, according to their statement
for the current week, were able, not
only to hold their own in the way Of
cash, but added over 81, 000, 900 to the
surplus reserve, making the latter item
the largest reported since January LIST.
In the light of present events the state
ment must be regarded as favorable
since it reveals the wonderfully strong
position of the banks. Ordinarily 1t
would mean lower money rates This
week, but unless a pacific solution Of
the Spanish crisis presents itself. no
such reduction may be handicapped.
The operations Of the week brought
about a s~hrinkage of S7.G97. 900 in loans.
due to continued liquidation and the
entire absence Of new business. the
banks combining themselves to the
needs of their own customSSs out OF
town banks, it is worthy of note, are
doing some buying in this market,
tempted by the stringent rates.
Deposits were reduced So I, 800, Ow-
ing largely TO Withdrawals Of balances.
The interior movement is shown In the
loss Of 1894. 200 in legal tenders. Specie
imports account for the gain Of $i.55i.-
400 gold and the net result was an in
crease Of nearly three-quarters Of a
million cash. The loss in deposits low
cred the reserve requirements Sl,519.-
400. This added to the cash gain swell
ed the surplus as above. The country
has now imported or engaged over
$50 900, 900 Of gold. but the New York
banks today hold only 50 900. 900 more
cash than when the movement started.
The specie received has merely replac-
ed the Withdrawals by interior banks
n IL is a problem whether the fu-
ture demand on New York will be as
heavy as anticipated.
Domestic exchange is at a heavy dis
count at interior cities and from all
that can be learned the cash with
drawn Is not being employed at home.
Inc fact thai outside institutions are
roaming money here, is not without sig
n~ihcance. The outlook favors con
unued imports OF gold. and these. with
the heavy disbursement made by the
treasury, may operate to produce an
easier state OF affairs. 1t would not
be surprising If present rates proved to
be the maximum for the year.
The country has so much money
that II Is prepared TO meet expendI-
lures OF an extraordinary magnitude
without embarrassment. n trouble
now Is that this is being boarded, rath-
er than put into use.
