If it should be asked what pos

some beautiful memory. Memory is
possession. 1t ls the only thing on
earth that is absolutely ours, which
no one can take from us. We can

The Magicians Of Trade.

The failure of Ernest Terah Hoolev
IS a break IN the line of professional
promoters, says the Commercial Ad-
vertiser. 1t is seldom that a promoter
fails. 1t is their victims who fail. The
companies they form often fail-whea
they are safely u OF the promoters
hands. The persons who trust pro-
motors and invest in promoted com
panles more than they can afford to
lose are liable to fail. Thus the COL
lapse OF a promoter is a healthful sign.
1t may dampen the business OF nro-
noting. The fact has nov DEVELOPED
tina Hooley has promoted companies
with capital stocks a%ggregating $685.
ooo.ooO and that since the companies
were hoated their stocks have denre-

the public. 1t will never pay $50 0

more stocks invented by Mr.. Hoolev.
SO his collapse is a national warming
and blessing.

Wholesalers. The sheriff went to Edg-
mont to get help and papers for the
arrest of the Indians in South Dakota,
as they had crossed the line. Deputy
Sheriff George Miller of Edgmont will
go with t~hemto-day with an increased

Our Waning 1ntere,t, in Samoa.

our waning 1nterests in Samoa.
The United States first acquired an
interest in the Navigator or Samoan
islands in 1872, when the government
was petitioned by the chiefs to annex
the group. The short but very brill
liant regime Of Premier" S%teinberger
brought the islands into wide repute
After his expulsion, a treaty was ne
gotiated by the United States, Great
Britain and Germany, the only nations
having commercial interests there
worth mentioning. under which a tri-
partite government was established
with an American jurist as chief legal
authority. King Mata'afa was deposed
and exiled. and King Malietoa was
recognized as the chief native author
ity. Financially. the interests Of the
United States have never paid it's
share of the cost of joint occupation,
and an abrogation Of the treaty has
been proposed several times. Now, the
three nations have agreed to the ma
tive desire for a recall of King
M~ata'afa. and while we are acquiring
territory In various parts of the
Pacific, Germany claims to have para
mount interests in Samoa. and de-
clares we have no rights there.

CHICAGO, July 14.-General Joseph
Wheeler passed through Chicago yes
terday bound for the Philippines on
an unknown mission. AS he puts it
himself:
Il am ordered merely to report to
General Otis and do not know what |
shall have to do when l get there, l
expect to return by December, when
Congress meets. Being in the army, l
felt that / had no right to remain idle
all summer and fall, and asked to be
sent on active service"
The only intimation given by Gen
eral Wheeler as to the purpose of his
mission was in reply to an inquiry as
to what he thought Of the situation
in the island acquisitions. He said:
81 do not understand, and no one
in Washington seems to understand,
why it is that u people over there
seem to have no idea Of the forces to
which they are opposed. General Otis
makes no estimate, and you will have
observed that neither General Lawton
Aor UcHoral MdChrCnur nihkeS men,
ton of these forces in his reports"
Asked if he were sent by President
Mckinley to make an expert report
on tho situation, the general replied:
II am merely to report to General
OTIS"
Miss Annie Wheeler, the generals
daughter, accompanies him to Manila.
She goes out as a Red Cross nurse,
without pay, and intends to remain
SO long rs her health permits or her
services are needed.
General Wheeler reiterated his
statement that he would not give up
his sea in Congress.
THAT was settled in the last Con-
grcss,' he said, but it probably will
nave to be settled again by the next.
At the last session a majority of the
Democrats and many Republicans
voted for me, and l hope they will do
it again"

GONE WITH 100000.
Perth Amboy, N. J.s Bank Has
Closed Its Doors,
ESTABLISHED Is YEARS AGO,
The Cashier Had Been Missing Four
Days Before the Police We're Notified
Covered Up His PeculatIons by False
Entries In the Books.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The Middlesex
County bank of Perth Amboy, N. j.,
has closed its doors. Cashier Edward
M. Valentine is reported to be miss
ing with $1OC, 900 of the banks money.
The president of the bank, U. b. Wat
son, informed the police of Perth Am
boy last night of the condition of af-
fairs and reported that Valentine had
not been seen since Monday. The de-
tails of how the money was converted
or misappropriated is not known. Ac-
countants are at work. on the cashiers
books and until they finish their work
the amount of shortage cannot be &C
c~urately stated.
Valentine has been in the employ of
the Perth Amboy bank for several
years. He was considered a man of
steady habits and lived with his fam
lily in Perth Amboy. His family con-
sists of his wife and two or three chill
dren. He is under 40 years Ct age.
The Perth Amboy bank was estab-
llshed about twenty-five years ago
and was considered one Of the solidest
banking institutions in New Jersey.
The failure of the bank to open it's
doors for business drew a large crowd
to the vicinity, and the police were
employed to preserve order.
Several weeks ago Cashier Valentine
took his family to Ocean Grove. He
spent Sunday there with his family,
and when last heard Of on Monday
morning left Ocean Grove, as was sup
posed, to go to the Perth Am boy bank.
He did not get off the train at Perth
Amboy, but continued on to New
York. In this city he cashed checks
amounting to between 3 5000 and S.
900 at the Park National bank, with
which the Perth Amboy bank trans
acted business. Cashier Valentine
was very we'll known at the Park Ma
tional bank. The police say that Val
entine's populations had extended
over a period of several months, and
that he managed to cover up the
shortage by false entries in his books

That May Make Trouble,

That May Make Trouble.
HONOLULU, July 7, via Victoria, B.
C.-There was II flag incident here on
the Fourth of July which promises to
be made an international episode.
Carl klemme, the proprietor of the
Orpheum hotel, gaily decorated his
building in American c%olors, hoisted
the American flag over it and under
the American flag the German flag.
Later a friend of his wanted to use an
American flag and Klemme good ma
turedly loaned him his, leaving the
German flag floating alone from the
flagstaff.
]. H. West saw it and ordered
klemme to haul it down. There had
been i'll will between the men before
ana Klemmc refused tt take orders
from his enemy. West thereupon
gathered a lot of soldiers from the
transport Sheridan and showed them
the German flag floating on the
Fourth of July in American territory.
The soldiers at once proceeded to the
roof, tore down the German flag and
destroyed it and put in its place some
red, white and blue bunting torn
from the other decorations of the
building.
West was fined 500 in the police
court to-day for malicious mischief
and the German consul general will
make a report of the matter to his
government.

in the Republican convention this
morning. In spite of the bitter feel
ing of the last wv days the nomina-

Before the call of districts for the
nomination Captain S. H.. Stone took
the platform and created an exciting
scene by withdrawing his name and
presenting the name of W.. S. Taylor.
Then Judge Clifton J. Pratt, the
other candidate for governor, followed
Stone in another stirring speech of
withdrawal and seconded the nomina-
ton of Taylor, which was made unan-
imous amid the widest demonstra-
tions.
A committee was then sent for GEN
eral Taylor. When it escorted him to
the hall there was another great
demonstration. General Taylor then
addressed the ~convention, accepting
the nomination.
For secretary of state the names of
Thomas J.. Young of Bath county,
j. b. Bennett of Greenup county, Har-
Ian 7. Batty of Lee county and Caleb
Powers Of Knox county were pre-

tage his nomination was made unani-
nous before the vote was counted.

Republican party of Kentucky to the
enactment Of all such laws as may be
necessary to prevent trusts. pools,
combinations or other organizations
from combining to ~depreciate below

ity and happiness resulting from the
wisdom and patriotism which he has
brought to the discharge of his public
duties.
