A CHEMICAL CASHIER
Sticks His Bank, But Will Not
Break 1t

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Wm. ]. Ouin-
Ian, Jr.. Cashier of the Chemical Ma
tional Bank, has resigned his position
He acknowledged in a letter to the Di-
rectors that he had loaned 1899, 900 of the
banks money without consulting the
President, and knowing the Directors
would not approve of the action. He de-
nies that he protited by the loan.
The Chemical National bank is one of
the most prosperous institutions of it's
kind in the country and should thu
amount loaned Mr. Quinlan prove a loss
the banks credit would not be affected
Its shares of a par value of 800, have
sold for more than $4,000 each within
short time. The directors are: George G.
Williams, Jas. \. Roosevelt, Frederick
w. Stevens and Robert Goelet.
Cashier Quinlan was also a director
The latter is 53 years of age. During the
twenty years he was cashier he never
took a vacation.
Francis Halpin, assistant cashier, is
acting as cashier of the bank pending the
selection of a successor to Mr. Quin-
Ian. The amount loaned Cradle was

the deal, Then, to save the loan first

In this way, in a little more than siN
weeks, the amount of the loans was rur
up to almost half a million dollars. Il

DENTISTRY AT SEA
And Something Also About the Prac-
tice of Medicine Af1oat

When a sailor on a deep-water ship
has toothache he is likely to go to the
captain. The captain gives him some
thing out of the medicine chest to put in
his TOOTH and if that doesn't cure it
perhaps he pulls it. 1t is a common thing
for sailors to pull their own teeth. Their
method is to put a string around the
tooth and pull it; but dental forceps are
carried on deep-water ships, on some
vessels a fair outfit of them. A ship
captain of long experience said that in
pulled 200 teeth.
The ships medicine chest on large
vessels is like closet or cupboard, with
a glass door, built in the ship. In this
chest the medicine bottles. gilt-labeled
are arranged on shelves that rise one
above another in receding tiers; it is
practically a well-appointed little drug
store. There is supplied with the medi-
cine chest a book explaining the uses of
the medicines. The captain is likely to
have some other book on medical sub
jects which he has read and studied,
and he is likely to have had a good deal
of experience before attaining the rank
of master of a ship.
Sailors are generally healthy men, but,
when occasion requires, the captain pre-
scribes: he is the physician. Limbs
broken at sea are, of course, set there,
and there might be circumstances in
which the captain would not hesitate
to perform a surgical operation.-EX.

THE PROGRAM PROPOSED BY
KEYSToNERS
Quay Is Too Crooked for Senator So
Wanamaker Will Be Named
for Governor
Associated Press Special Wire

| Associated Press Special Wire
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-The anti
Quay movement in the Republican par
ty received an impetus here today at
conference at which there were present
about 400 representatives and party men
from all sections of the state. The con-
ference was held under the auspices OF
the Business Mems league.
The sentiment of nearly all the speak
ers was in favor of the nomination of
John Wanamaker as the candidate of
governor of the Republican party at the
coming fall election, although the names
of Congressman Dalzell and c. w. Stone
were frequently mentioned and ap-
plauded.
After a lengthy discussion resolution
was adopted urging Mr.. Wanamaker to
permit the use of his name for the office
of governor at the approaching Re-
publican primary elections and at the
Republican state convention"
Great enthusiasm was aroused in the
earlier part of the meeting by the read
ing of a letter from John Wanamaker.
1t was dated at Ossadow island, Ga.
Mr.. Wanamaker expressed regret that
a prior engagement had prevented his
attendance at the meeting with the pur
pose of which he was fully in accord.
He wanted it distinctly understood that
he did not desire public office and sug-
gested Judge John Stewart. Henry C
Mccormick. John Dalzell, Major z. 5.
Hancock and Col. E. \. Irwin as names
from which a governor could be select
ed not to be owned by anyone
A committee of seven was selected to
notify Mr.. Wanamaker of the action of
the conference and ask of him permis-
sion to use his name as candidate for
governor.
The conference adopted lengthy plat
form of principles in the form of an ad
dress to the Republican voters of the
state. 1t declares the condition of
politics in the state to be disgraceful.
and that this condition has been brought
about by the expenditure of money to
corrupt and debauoh the voters
The present senior United States sem
ator. the platform says, is understood to
desire reelection, and he, more than any
other man, it says, is responsible for
the present corrupt condition of state
politics. His defeat for reelection is
urged upon the voters.
