THE TRooPER,s Ice CREAM.
The Soldier Is Human and Graves
Good Things to Eat.

New York Mail and Express
The experience of Policeman and Rough
Rider Sweet, who, through the patriotism
of the municipality, was allowed to draw
his salary as a peacemaker while fighting
Spaniards down in Cuba, is not an unusual
one. When he drew his back pay as po-
liceman yesterday he Immediately started
out to invest 10 cents of his salary in a
plate of ice cream, which he had longed for
ever since he was stricken with fever at
Santiago. There is no more human creature
in the world than the soldier and the mat
ter of food is of much Importance to him
to the average man concerned in peace
full pursuits. 1t is of even more Importance,
because he has less of it as a rule and more
time to think of it than most men have.
The diaries of the private soldier of the
civil war might easily be taken for supple
mental reports of the quartermaster's de-
partment so filed are they with details
about food 1t was not the masterful gen.
eralship of Grant at Vicksburg that the pri-
home about, but the want of fresh food
from which the army suffered. 1t is fortu-
nate for the world that this lack of prov
ender was not felt by the commanding Off
GERS, otherwise the memoirs of Grant and
Sherman might never have been written,
or, If written, would not have been worth
publishing
During the present war the complaints re-
garding food have led all other forms or
fautfinding on the part of the volunteer.
Give the soldier food enough and OF the
quality that he Graves and one would hear
little about the hardships of war, The lack
of sleep, hard and protracted work, long and
wearisOme marches even the horrors OF the
battlefield would be accepted as inevitable

There are additional reasons why the vet
Grams of our most recent conflict should at
tach so much Importance to food. A large
proportion of our troops suffered more or
less from the effects of the climate. both
in the Southern States and in Cuba. Fever

bullets. 1t is little wonder then that from
the hospitals North and South there should
be a demand for suitable food. If well men

Rough Rider Sweet is not the only trooper
who has spent his first spare money in buy
ing a deicacy to please his palate. A
freezer of ice cream in Santiago about the
middle of July would have been worth far
more than its weight in gold and pastry

AN ENORMOUS BRONZE CASTING.
A Gigantic Statue of Pan for Central
Park Successfully Cast.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A score Of newspaper men, experts and
at the foundry of the Henry-Bonnard
Bronze Company in West Sixteenth street,
yesterday to witness the casting Of p the the
sculptor George Gray Barnard. They saw
the sensational and dramatic exhibition of
the pouring of the incandescent metal into
the enormous mold which, as it lay in the
pit, weighedsmore than twenty-seven tons.
Some sixteen furnaces were at full heat;
making the air sizzle. The furnaces, had
been ablaze since a. M, and by p. m; all
were ready for the final work, serious
moment. for the attempt was in the nature
of experiment and was watched with
keen interest. The. furnaces had been en-
larged for this special casting, and special
crucibles and ladies' had been made to cast
that were poured into the TASKS. AS the
first crucible was hauled out and poured
into the great receiving bucket that stood
in the middle of the shop there came Drll,
liant pyrotechnc display of yellow and
green light, with a shower of sparks that
caused the visitors to make a precaution-
When the great pot had received the con-
tents of the sixteen crucibles the enormous
crane was swung downward, and lifting the
boiling, red-hot metal, it turned gradually
around until the broth was just over the
aperture, when, with quick turn, the con-
tents of the pot were poured into the Ere. re-
ceptacle wherein the god Pan was waiting
to be born again. A Kissing, a sizzling and
a steady gurgle told of the proper diStribu-
LlOn OF the metal, the 5lT pluSS were QulSAiy
pulled out and the workmen, recognizing
that the effort was an unqualified success,
cheered the little French master of cere-
monies caught up an American flag and
waved it enthusiastically. Then, having
done all his duty, he collapsed.
The work of preparing the TASKS and
tools necessary for the job was begun last
September In November the work of mold
ing the statue was begun. The metal poured
in yesterday will not harden until day after
tomorrow, and then of course there re-
mains much to do before the statue is given
over to the authorities.
I 1t is to be a gift to the city from the
Alfred Clark estate: The figure of Pan,
which was designed and executed in the
clay by Mr. Barnard, lies in a recumbent
position, playing his pipes. The work is
thirteen feet nine inches long, and at its
highest pont IL little more than five and
a half feet The face is partly Greek, with
an admixture of the modern type. 1t is pro-
posed to place the statue on the top OF
great boulder in Central Park, near Seven
ty-second street.
The Henry Bonnard Company, which has
cast many of the principal statues of the
country including nearly all the work for
the new Congressional Library, has just
completed the important heroic-size eques-
TRAN statue of General Hartranft, by F. w.
Ruckstuhl. which is to be placed opposite
the Capitol in Harrisburg, Pa. and 1t was
on view yesterday at the shops, all set up.
Tt will be taken apart and shipped to its
destination shortly.

excess of the requirement of the Is per cent

Inc New York Financier says this week:
Inc question that confronts the New York
banks at present is how 10 furnish the
tnirty or forty millions usually required to
move the crops, on reserve that is below
hfteen millions. Ordinarily. the situation
would be regarded as critical, but conditions
are such that money rates have advanced
barely / per cent, and the outlook is re-
garded with equanimity. The surplus re-
serve of the banks is now less than at any
time since the presidential election of 1896
IL will be recalled that money during the
close of that campaign rose to prohibitivo
hgures. and gold floated from Europe in
consequence 1t does not seem possible that
specie imports will be delayed much longer,
but the incentive of very high rates will be
lacking. The domestic money supply was
never more abundant, but the sale of bonds
eiiN thC SOiicCtiOH VI war taxes, coupled
with stoppage of heavy expenditures, are
locking up the money in the treasury at the
expense of the banks. If this money can
be placed in depository institutions, the sit
uation will be relieved, but the difficulty of
obtaining bonds security for public de-
posits has operated to retard the transfers
AS 1t is, the treasury reserve stands at the
highest point in its history, while the New
York banks are loaned up to their legal
limit and many are below the required re-
serve. 1t was expected in view of these
circumstances, that the loan will have to
be called on, but the statement shows a
small increase in the totals The loss in
deposits and loss in cash are almost the
same, payments into the treasury having
been the cause. The movement to the in
terror, however, has begun and will continue
in larger volume for some weeks to come.
Between the two, unless some very Skilful
financiering is done, the reserves of the
banks will shrink rapidly. AS already stat
ed there is nothing in the situation to war
and the continued heavy government re-
celpts have brought about unforeseen re-
suits The expected increase in bank circu-
latiOn cannot be made in time to meet the
emergency. but gold engagements can be
made in day. That is why money cOntin-
ues easy. but this week will perhaps witness
a marking up of loans considerable liquida-
IT is needless to say, will be only temporary
but Congress will have to deal with some
