on the strength of the old rumor that
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford is seeking to acquire It. 1t will
be remembered that it sold week ago
today at 352. But on Jan. IS It sold at
25S. Interested parties vigorously danP
the rumors relative to the New Haven
road. 1t is stated, however. that bill
will be brought up before the Massa-
chusetts Legislature towards the end OF
the session which will allow the New
York, New Haven and Hartford to
buy the Boston and Albany at $500 per
share. Others, however, maintain that
the Boston and Albany, through the
acquisition Of the Poughkeepsie bridge
system, is seeking an outlet of Its own
to Pennsylvania and southern points,
and 1t is even limited that the Pennsyl-
vania system may turn up as the chief
factor in the deal which is alleged to
be in progress.

IMPORTANT RULING.
Penalty of 800 for Issuing an
Unstamped Check

The commissioner Of revenue at
Washington has made an important
ruling relative to the revenue on
bank checks, which it will be we'll for
every person who uses checks to bear
in mind.
Up to the present time many
checks have been issued without
stamps, arrangements being made
with the banks or with the persons
in whose favor the checks were is
sued to provide them with revenue
stamps. This plan will be anything
but safe in the future. The new
ruling requires that the person is
suing a check shall properly stamp
it, and cancel the same with his own
initials. In the event this rule is
violated the penalty is $100.

WAS ALGER USED
AS A SCREEN?
The President in Politics
the Cause.
The Resignation the Principal
Topic Of Discussion-He
Was Badly Treated
1t is Thought.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The re-
tirement of Russell A. Alger was the
principal topic of discussion here to-
day The concensus of opinion
seems to be that the Secretary OF
War has been badly treated. Not
that he was compelled to resign, but
the fact that all of the weaknesses
OF the administration are placed to
his credit.
1t is commonly regarded here as
an attempt of the administration to
cover up its faults. While Alger is
not regarded as particularly bril-.
liant man, it is pointed out that each
and every one of his acts have met
with the approval of the President.
In fact Mckinley conducted the
whole war.
So weak has been the policy of the
President that scapegoat was abso.
lutely necessary. Alger was made
the victim and his deposition was
spoken of on all sides as "crucifc.
ton"
To show that McKil ley did not
regard Alger as the cause of the out
cry against the management of the
War Department, it is stated that the
President never desired to dlsplace
the Secretary until the Alger-Pin-
gree combine.
''The President is playing politics,
said a Michigan Republican, land
everything that he does is actuated
from political motives. know alb
solutely that Alger has had very lit
tie to do with making any of the ap
pointments. The army contracts
were also given out by the President
Indirectly and this was done with a
view Of securing the support of the
contractors IN 1900
'When the press of the country
were accusing the President of
whitewashing Alger by means of
several investigating boards, he was
really covering up his own sins.'
IL moo apnncinr 10 Ohcar,a flo C,,A
den change of sentiment. Only yes
terday morning Alger was being
abused and vilifed. This afternoon
the tide has changed in his favor and
the President is regarded as the true
cause of all the criticism which has
driven Alger from the cabinet
Mckinley is making a desperate
effort to be renominated in 1900, and
to that end is using his Office to pre-.
vent any one who is likely to be an
aspirant for the honor from gaining
agy distinction. Every appointment
is made with an object in view.
1t was generally regarded that At.
torncy General Griggs or General
Horace Porter would be asked to
accept the war portfolio. Here again
it is pointed out that the President
is playing politics. Griggs, as At
torney General, is we'll known to fa-
vor trusts, and his action in the Car
ter case has subjected him to much
criticism. To remove him from his
present position is said to be play
of the Presidents. In this manner
he hopes to create the impression
that he is against trusts, while at the
same time he will please the corpo
rat:ons and his action is thoroughly
understood by them.

a good work. Mr.. Pobst, as Super

90 pupils every Sunday afternoon,
and they also have preaching often.
Last Sunday afternoon Mr.. Buston
preached to a good crowd, about a
mile farther On from the school
