The dangers of civilization are
overwork, worry and germs. We
need vitalizing power to sustain
us. Learned men and experience
point to pure whiskey. Primitive
men did not need whiskey. We
do. Changed conditions bring
fresh needs. And THE whiskey
is HARPER.

New York, Aug. 2l.-The FinancieI
says:
The feature of the New York bank
statement for last week was an expansion
Ct $l,O4S, 900 in loans, the first that has
been recorded since July 8, last. The
liquidation in this item in the intervening
period has been not less than SAT 100000
The loss in deposits in the same time has
been about $50, 100000 but the banks have
$lO,OOO,OO0 more surplus reserve than re-
ported in July. Their position is cor
respondingly stronger, but the fact that
loans are rising indicates that this steady
liquidation is at an end. The loan ex'
pansion, in view of the activity is mod
crate to say the least. The banks gained
million dollars as a result of the week 9
operations and as the increase of 81 1884,
500 in deposits called for an increase less
than third of a million, in additional
requirements, there was an additian Of
$6s6,975 to surplus, making the excess at
the close of the week, $l5,092, $50.

q PIotter Against San Dominge-Gen-
eral Wilson May Get the Blame.

Havana, Aug. 2l.-It is asserted that
the arrest of General Juan Isidro Jiminez,
the aspirant to the presidency of Santo
Domingo, who was captured aboard a
steamer at Cienfuegos just as the steamer
was about leaving that port, was not
caused by orders from Havana, but was
effected through the orders of General
James III. Wilson, governor of the depart
ment of Matanzas and Santa Clara. I'M
mediately upon learning of the arrest,
Major General Brooke gave orders for the
release of the prisoner. The action of
General Wilson in ordering the arrest of
Jiminez causes much comment. The pres
ent plans of Jiminez are unknown. Having
missed the steamer on which he had taken
passage he will probably return to Havana.
z Commenting ON the arrest, Diario de La
Marina says that the mayor and police at
Cienfuegos refused to carry out the orders
given them for the apprehension of jim
inez, as they claimed that to do so would
be to violate the law of the country and
the arrest was made by customs officer.
The Diario expresses the opinion that
the detention of Jiminez was the result OF
request made to the government at
Washington by President Riguero of Santo
Domingo that the suspected filibusters be
prevented from leaving Cuba for Santa
Domingo until after the elections in the
republic had been held

Ask Removal OF whol,ey.

( Olympia, WASH, Aug. 2l.-It has leaked
out here that twice within the last few
months the officers of the First Washing
ton volunteers have wired Governor Rog-
ers asking the recall of Colonel Wholley
When talked to some time ago regarding
Wholley, the governor said he had nothing
to do with the matter, as it was entirely
in the hands of the war department; that
while he had the appointment of Wholley
as colonel of the regiment, the department
only could recall or remove him from his
command. Notwithstanding this fact, it
is known that the officers hold Governor
Rogers responsible on the grounds that he
should have preferred and fathered their
request to the war department.

be done in manner to secure the best
results possible. The following persons
have been selected by Mr.. Root to form

ly secretary of the interior; Brigadier Cen
eral G. V. Henry, formerly military gov
ernor of Puerto Rico; Ri. Rev. James H.
Blenk, S. NJ, d. D., bishop of Puerto Rico,

ernor General Davis. The actual trans
portation of supplies will continue under
the direction of the quartermaster gen
erals department.
One Hundred Thousand in Need.
The secretary of war made public the
following telegram from Governor General
Davis:
eat least lO,5O0 tons of food should be
shipped weekly until further notice. Have
now. fairly full reports from whole island
Can not reduce first estimate of 100000
to be fed or assisted. Am starting public
works as rapidly as possible, and hope soon
to get large numbers on self-sustaining
basis. If local committees act without
concert duplication and waste would be
sure to result. Therefore l suggest
central committee to regulate this and
would give assurance to contributors that
donations will be wisely handled.
''Send all clothing and medicines Of
fered. Fully one-haf beans and rice should
be shipped in sacks weighing 100 pounds
per sack, for it must get to the interior
on pack animals. The sacking material
will be useful for clothing. DAVIS"

Money in Abyssinia,

The few travellers who have taken
the time and trouble to look into Men,
elek's queer kingdom of Abyssinia tell
strange tales of it. Besides the Maria
Theresa 1850 dollars, the people of
Abyssina, for small change, used bar
of hard, crystalliZed salt, about ten
Inches long and two inches and
half broad and thick, slightly
tapering toward the end, FIVE of
which go to the dollar at the capital.
People are very particular about the
standard tineness of the currency. II
1t does not ring like metal, or If it is at
all Clipped, nothing will induce them
to take 1t. Then, 1t is a token of affec-
ton among the natives, when friends
meet, to give each other a lick of their
respective amolis, and In this way the
material value Of the bar Is also de-
creased.
For still smaller change cartridges
are used, of which three go to one salt.
1t does not matter what sort they are.
Some sharpers use their cartridges in
the ordinary way, and then put in some
dust and dummy bullet to make up the
difference, or else they take out the
powder and put the bullet in again, so
that possibly in the next action the un-
happy seller will find that he has only
miss-fires in his belt; but this ls such
a common fraud that no one takes any
notice of 1t, and bad cartridge seems
to serve as readily as a good one.
