For the first time since the panic of 1893
the clearing house banks OF New York
city report a deficit in reserves, the cash
on hand falling below the required limit
by $33S,350. The deficit is due to the
heavy Withdrawals in cash, contractions
in loans and deposits having been insufiic
lent to lower requirements to the proper
figures. The statement is further compli.
Gated by the addition of a new bank, the

Mrs. Langtry's Luck.

What bit of luck Mrs. Iangtry, or.
rather, Mrs. dc Battle. has been having
lately. Until just before her romantic
marriage she was about as down spirited
as she could possibly be.
Mainly About People tells an inter
cStlng story of the turn of the tide. She
had had some failures on the stage and
turf. and it was with knees knocking
together that she signed for The De

was very agony, and right ut the core
of the dead season. the time when. so
far as the west end was concerned, Lon
don was empty. On the next day after
the production none of the critics had n
good word to say. Mrs. Langtry thought
she was in for another bad time. but the
public soon undeceiyed her. There is no
buying seats now. and the final result of
it all is that while the capacity of the
Haymarket is supposed to be $3.50. the
figures run mp for Il night to ESQ more.

In the meantime the same turn of
the tide which had come in the artistic

Mrs. Langtry. Norman, the discredited,
disappointing Norman. was again the
chief source of his mistress triumphs.
Norman Won the Goodwood stakes. the
Goodwood cup and finally the Birming-
ham handicap.
Her other horses were equally lucky.
Uniform won the Lewes handicap of
$1,000. the first week i'll August. Malu-
ma won the Prince Edward handicap of
$4,000. and Gazetteer won two races at

Dewey's Visit to His BIRTHPLACE.


During Admiral Dewey's recent visit
TO Montpelier a man called at the house
where the admiral was born, and upon
asking if that was the house and being
told it was. wanted to look it over. The
lady in charge told him they had to ex-
act a small fee, as so many wished to &c
over the house, whereupon he paid the
required 10 cents.
Soon after another man called and
asked the lady if Admiral Dewey was
there. She told him he was not, but
he said he must be, as he saw him go in
a short time before. She found the first
man. and soon found that it was the
admiral himself She was much cha
grined TO think she had charged him the
regular fee, and FASTENED to return 1t to
him. but he did not take it, and enjoyed
the joke more than the lady herself

A S range Battle in Which Ono Nan
Earquished Ten.

| Many stories are told of the courage
! and bravery of Col. Winthrop Hilton,
! one of the early settlers of New Hamp-
| shire. At one time he was very friend
| ly with the Indians. and previous TO
| the Indian outbreaks of the early part
of the eighteenth century was a stanch
| defender of what he held to be the
| rights of the savages.
Whenthe wars came Hilton. although
! he still stood for the part of justice,
| often sided against the Indians. Final
| ly one of the chiefs, formerly a particu-
| lar friend of the Colone.S, decided
that he must die, and to accomplish
/ this end ten o. his best warriors We're
| picked out and instructed not to return
| without Hilton. alive or dead.
The Indians found the Colonel weed
ing corn not far from the blOckhouse,
with his rifle resting against a stump
at some little distance. When they
! came uOn him Hilton saw that he was
caught, and putting Il pleasant face on
the matter treated the whole proceed
| ing as a good joke of his old friend. the
| chief He chatted with his captors in
! the most unconcerued manner, and Of
| fered no objection to going with them.
They tramped for several miles, and
when they reached a deserted log house
they stopped to cook and eat supper.
| The savages took no special precautiOn
to secure their prisoner; they barred
the only door, and after stacking their
| guns in n corner each proceeded to
roast his meat before the open fire.
Meantime Hilton was talking with
! them constantly. and finally asked per
mission TO look At their Guns. One by
one he picked up the weapons and
| commented on the good points of their
'killdeers," quite dsarming suspicion
by his cooIness; but before replacing
the guns he set each one a cock, ready
| for firing.
And now a singular contest took
| place. One man matched himself
against ten. With the utmost GOODNESS
and quickness Hilton seized gun after
| gun and fired. Indian after Indian fell
under his accurate aim. The others
rushed upon him, but were driven
back by blows from the gun.
Thus the struggle continued until but
one red man was left alive. He sue
ceeded in unbarring the door and max
ing his escape. Hilton, with the ten
guns upon his shoulders. marched In
| triumph toward his home, and on the
way was met by a company Of settlers
who had started out for his rescue.
