its way against the breeze nearly to
the railroad track

for some time past had been camping
short distance down the river from
Washington, on the Yolo side, was
found dead on the river bank near his

have fallen into the stream and drag

heart trouble. Justice Of the Peace

Men who are afraid that they
are untitled to satisfactorily
fulfill any duty in life are miser-
able. The very knowledge itself
makes them nervous. They waste
away. They get worse daily.
They do not sleep. They have
evil dreams and are filed with
gloom. If that is your state to-
day the sooner you alter 1t the
better. You can be again a whole
man. You can regain all your
lost vitality. You can feel the
fire of youth again If you will

700. The banks now hold so, i.575 in
excess OF the requirements OF the % per
cent. rule.
The Financier says: The conditions
outlined in the analysis OF the New
York statement for December 3lst, in
dicating an easier money market. are
reflected in a still more noteworthy de-
gree in the exhibit OF the clearing house
institutions for the week ending jan
uary Sth. The banks ave gained
heavily in cash and deposits, and the
surplus Is $6,475,S25 larger than seven
days ago. The statement includes the
dividend period covering the first OF the
yea. What this means is shown in the
fact hat the clearings for the week
In New York exceed 81. 900, 900. 600. The
expansion Of $40, 52S. 800 in deposits and
the gain Of SO, 101, 800 cash represent the
payments OF interest which have been
made. Part Of the Increase. however.

The fact that the treasury L. getting

situation somewhat by stopping the
steady stream that has been pouring
into the market because Of continued

gradual withdrawal OF government de-
posts now in New York banks. The
demand for loans Is increasing also and
will operate to steady rates.

Sensational RumOrs From Havana

Havana, aunary Tt has been ru-
mOred since yesterday that General
Fitzhugth Lee, the United States con-
sul-general, will accompany Captain
General BlancO when the latter takes
the field. 1t is further reported that
Senior Estrada Palma, the delegate to
the United States of the Cuban insur-
gents, will arrive here shortly and ac-
company the captain-general and Gen
eral Fitzhugth Lee to the field and that
a conference with General Maxine
Gomez will follow.
The reports have caused a sensation
in this city.
New York, January THE rumor
that Genera Fitzhugh Lee, the United
States consul-general, would accom-
| pany Captain-G General BlancO when
the latter takes the field, is looked
,ipon by the members OF the Cuban
junta as highly improbable.
The further runlOr that Senior Es-
traGa Palma would accompany the
captain-general and General Lee to
the field and that a conference With
Maxine Gomez would follow, is cen
| sidered absurd. Senior Palma is in
Philadelphia.
Washington, January NO cOnfir-
| nation of the preceding story is Cb-
tainalble in Washington. However, it
excited considerable interest both in
administration and Spanish circles. AT
the state department it was said that
General Lee had given MO i~ntinIation
of contemplating such a move and that
no arrangement looking to such inter
vention had been suggested from
Washington. Further than this, no
official would discuss the matter.
AT the Spanish legation it was posi-
lively asserted that no advices on the
subject had been received from any
quarter.
Senator Davis, chairman of the for
eign RELATIONS committee, said: The
story looks improbable. Further han
that 1 do not want to discuss it. I do
not see how they are going to get Es-
trada Palma in Cuba unless they de
clare a special amnesty"

The New York Stock Market

New York, January S.-There was
proflt-naking on quite a large scale
in the stock market today after an ad-
ditional advance in prices in the carry
trading. That there should be taking
of quick profits after such a sharp
rise as that of the last two days was
to be expected, and h professional
dealers who bought stocks late on
Wednesday and Thursday sold their
holdings in the most active and strong
est issues. The realizing was lutte
pronounced in it's effect on New York
Central and Sugar, which reacted more
thar a point from the high level of
the morning. There was evidence of
continued realizing also in the local
traction companies.
Some of the anthracite group also
continued under depression today. Not
understanding these reactionary de
cies, the general tone OF the specula-
tion continued strong and confident.
Business was on a large scale and IN
braced a large numbe Of different is
