Unclaimed Fortunes.

The extraordinary revelation was
made at recent meeting of the State
Savings Bank association of New York
according to Leslie's Weekly, that
there were in the savings banks of the
Empire state $1,000, 900 in dormant &C
counts. The savings banks OF New
York state now hold about 5000, 900
of the peoples money, and the dormant
accounts Of $1,5O0,000 remain without
any evidence that their owners will
ever call for them. Some OF them have
been dormant for over fifty years. One
bank in the city OF Albany reported
that its unclaimed accounts aggregated
over $27 1000. Some of these accounts
have claimants who will appear in due
season. The owner Of one of them,
for instance, is that popular American,
Senator Chauncey M. Depew. He had
never presented his passbooS to have
his interest entered though his account
had more than doubled while 1t lay
dormant. We must indeed be a rich
and prosperous nation when we can
overlook a little item of over 81, SOC, 900
lying unclaimed in the savings banks
of a single state.

He explained that he had wished to
give his distinguished visitors an ap-

no guns in the town, had ordered the
station master to place twenty-one fog
signals along the line just beyond the

GREAT BRITAIN TO ACT ALONE,
VIII Settle Alaskan Boundary Question
with the United States.

Ottawa, Ont, July 31.-There are
signs of a hasty adjournment of the
dominion parliament. Within a week
the session is expected to end. This is
taken to mean that if a settlement of
the Alaskan boundary dispute distaste-
full to Canada is to be forced on the
dominion senate by Great Britain the
conservative minority in the house of
commons will be out of the way
1t is asserted the irritation now
being manifested in Canada over the
Alaskan boundary question is due to
the fact that Great Britain has taken
the settlement of the controversy out
of the hands of the dominion author
tiles and will hereafter deal directly
with the United States in the matter
Information to this effect, it is as
serted, was sent to Ottawa before the
decision was made known in Washing
ton and the bellicose declarations OF
Premier Laurier and Sir Charles Tup-
per are attributed to this action.

How Soldiers shoot.

How Soldiers Shoot" in Pearson's
for july contains some interesting de-
tai OF the process of making crack
army shots, who are expected In war
time to play havoc with the enemy's
officers and men at long range. Doubt
less more successful attention Is paid
to such shooting in England and the
United States than in any other coun-
try. Special instruction is given in
our navy and army, and money is not
spared to give the men all the advan-
tages of target practice. Steady, sys-
tematic training makes the accurate
shooting. The greenhorn must be
taught how to hold his rifle first, and
then successfully how to stand, how
to kneel, how to lie, how to aim. how
to fire, and how to take care OF his RI
file and its cartridge magazine, II a
magazine Is used. The Lee-Enleld RI
fie OF the British service weighs nine
pounds and Is four feet one inch In
length. the bayonet adding another
foot. 1t Is five-grooved rifle, with a
muzzle velocity of 1000 feet per Sec
ond. The bullet Is made of copper and
nickel, with lead core. The recruit
Is taught that the bullet travels
through the air in a curved line called
the trajectory, subject to the explosive
force which starts It, the force OF gray
ity pulling 1t down, and the resistance
Of the air. Such a bullet falls two
feet In 200 yards, travelling 1000 feet
a second. The mean range OF the bull
let Is $500 yards, with penetrating
power according to the substance
struck. Recruits are taught to fire In
any position. Our army regulations
give the men rules for judging the dis
lance of objects, from thirty yards to
1000 yards. There are moving targets
representing infantry and cavalry TO
shoot at. There Is practice In rapid
volley firing, independent firing, run
ming and firing. Modern fighting
methods require many changes in fir.
ing drill.

Negroes Publish CompIaintS.

Indianapolis, Ind, July 31.-The
committee appointed by the Indiana
Afro-American convention to prepare
an address to the public has issued a
statement containing a bitter denun-
citation of lynching methods and
charging that a question Of morals is
too often used as a cloak to excuse
these violations of law; it complains
OF the violation of the United States
election laws by statutory enactments
in the states of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and
Louisiana, whereby three-fourths OF
the negro voters of those states are
disfranchised under the guise of an
educational qualification" and protests
against the action of trades unions in

Weekly REVIEW OF TRADE.
Labor Troubles Caused Little Inter-
ruption of Business.
CLEARINGHOUSE PAYMENTS
Record for July Shows an Increased
Advance Over the Same Month Last
Year-Greatly Increased Receipts of
Wheat-The Weeks Failures.

New York, July 31-R. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review Of trade,
say:
There is certainly room for some
decrease when the volume of payments
through the clearing house in July is
47.2 per cent larger than last year and
59.6 per cent larger than in 1892, the
best Of all previous years. So great
an advance would warrant expectation
of some setback under ordinary cir
cumstances. But interruption of bust
ness by labor troubles of all sorts has
been less than in any other July for
years.
Nor is the movement of products
hampered. Western wheat receipts in
July have been 1S,S63,S26 bushels,
against 7,309,333 bushels last year, to
date, and corn 20,4S5,251, against
9,173,355 last year. Exports of wheat
from both coasts were 1892 BUSH
els, flour included, against 1888, 1913
last year. Corn exports also continue
surprising-11, 684,521 bushels for the
month thus far, against 6,676,063 last
year.
Manufacturers have been buying
much wool, it is stated, but less the
last week, although many are taking
sample bales. Goods are in fair de-
mand, but no further change in prices
is mentioned. Sales in four weeks
have been 46,779,600 pounds, of which
3S,954, 800 were domestic.
Failures for the week have been 151
in the United States, against 225 last
year, and 20 in Canada, against 26 last
year"
Bradstreet's says:
Special activity in the iron and
steel industry is reported at Chicago,
where heavy advances have been made
in finished products, and numerous
shipments are reported.
The cereal markets note little
change in price, but trade opinion
seems to favor steady demand and few
fluctuations, in view of admittedly
large necessary takings by foreign

Saved by His Horse,

An English officer in the Royal En-
gineers had horse which ought to
have received the Victoria cross for
gallantry In action. The officer was
leading a party OF Afghanistans. when
they were suddenly attacked by band
of Ghazis. The fighting was furious
for a few minutes and during the
height OF the battle the lieutenant was
speared by a young Ghazl and brought
to the ground. The warrior came up
to finish him, when the faithful horse
turned his heels and dashed out at the
Ghazi every time he approached the
wounded man. This defense was main
tanned and the assailants fed. As the
horse was not vicious, the officer is
firm in the belief that the horse knew
his master was in danger and saved
him.

lNoERsoLL.s FUNERAL.
No Clergyman, No Music and No Pail
Bearers.


New 1oRK, July a6.--The funeral of
the late Robert G. Ingersoll took place
yesterday afternoon from Walston,
Dobbs' Ferry, where he died. No
clergyman was present to conduct the
services; there was no music, and there
were,no pail bearers. The body lay
on cot in the room where he died.
1t was enshrouded in white and Just
one red rose placed on the breast.
About the cot were banks of floral
punches of blossoms. The services
were held at four o'clock. Mrs. Inger-
soil sat beside her dead and beside her
were her daughters, Mrs. Walstou II.
Brown and Miss Maude Ingersoll.
They We're very much agitated and
wept almost necessarily. There were
some forty others present and they re-
manned standing throughout. The in.
tense silence was then broken by
DR.. John Ridpath, who, in n voice
full of emotion, said to those present.
MY friends, IL is very sad duty to
read in the presence of the dead the
last poem by Colonel Robert Inger-
soil, entitled Declaration of the Free.
This poem Colonel Ingersoll had read
and altered in some of it's parts only a
few hours before he was stricken
down" Major o. J. Smythe, n close
friend of Colonel lngersoll, then,
without preliminary words, read
another extract from Colonel Inger-
soils writings. entitled My Religion. "
DR.. John Elliott, of New York, read
the funeral Grafton delivered by Col
ouel lngersoll over his brothers dead
body. This concluded the short and
simple services. Nearly every one
present then took u parting look ut
the dead and passed out.

Want to Re Enlist.

Washington, July 31.-The lie is
given to the published statements that
the Oregon volunteers, who recently
returned from Manila, were disguised
with their treatment in the Philippines
and would not return under any cir
cumstances, in a telegram to the ad-
jutant general of the army from Lieut.
Col. Plummer, who is engaged in or
ganiZing the regiment at Vancouver
barracks, Washington. Col. Plummer
says that a number of the Oregon men
desire to re-enlist for service in the
Philippines and have expressed the in
tention to do so if the war department
will permit them to see their families
before returning to the army.

Itebuke,l.

The officers Of the German army, the
captains in particular, are required to
deliver lectures to their men on sub
jects relating to the latter's duties. A
certain captain quartered in Berlin was
due at 6 o'clock one morning at the
classroom. Oversleeping himself, and
not arriving until twenty minutes past,
he found, to his dismay and annoy
ance, young-looking officer attending
to his work and busy at the black
board. On his angry approach the
young officer turned round, and the
captain at once recognized the emperor
in the substitute. Speechless with as
constituent, he tremblingly received
the textbook which his majesty quiet
ly handed him, with the remark: I'VE
have got as far as there, captain" and
Immediately left the room without ap-
pearing to hear the officers suffered
excuses. The captain awaited a per-
emptory dismissal, but for weeks there
came no decision OF his fate. At last,
after the suspense had become fairly
unbearable, for the officer feared the
most unpleasant consequences, he re-
ceived present from the emperor. 1t
was an alarm clock.

FATALITIES DURING THE WAR.
Number of Deaths Up to June IL
Placed at 136,

-
Placed at 736.
Seattle, Wash, July 31.--An evening
paper prints what purports to be full
list Of fatalities in the American army
in the Philippines up to June q The
list was furnished by Fred F. Eitell, a
representative of the Manila Freedom,
who claims to have obtained it from
the records of the surgeon generals
office at Manila.
The total number of fatalities is
736-twentythree officers, 500 privates
and fourteen civilians, attached to the
army. A remarkable feature of the
record is found in the statement that
the number of officers killed in battle
is out of proportion to the number of
privates killed. On the other hand,
fewer officers died from disease proper
tionately than privates. Out Of the
twenty-three officers dead sixteen were
killed in action, two were drowned and
five died of disease as follows: Typhoid
one; meningitis, two; rheumatism of
the heart, one; paralysis, one. OF the
500 privates, 294 died of wounds re-
ceived in action, nine were killed acct
dentally, twenty-three were drowned
and seven committed suicide. One
hundred and six died of typhoid fever,
eightJ-nine of smallpox, forty-seven
OF dysentery, twenty-eight of pneu-
monia, nineteen of malarial fever and
fourteen of meningitis. The remaining
seventeen did from various diseases.
OF the fourteen deaths among civ
ilians seven were from smallpox and
three from gunshot wounds received in
