JOHN C. HUBINGER.
Rema rkabIe Career of a WeII-Known
Western Capitalist, Manufact-
urer and PhiIanthropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without peer. AS
a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as q philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wideawake cities. Mr.
Hubinger, although but AZ years of
age, can look back upon scores Of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality Is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of a concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study

New York Banks Pay the Govern

New York, Sept. 16.-The statement
Of the clearing house banks issued today
shows a practical exhaustion of the sur
plus reserves, which stand at 1915, 400
over legal requirements. This circum-
stance is generally attributed to excess
payments into the United States sub
treasury during the past two months of
about $1S,0O0,000. A comparison with
1898, when the Barring panic occurred,
shows that the banks reported on July /

clearinghouse certificates for about $50,

CHARMS FOR EASTER
Always Wear Something New On
Easter Sunday.-By John Thomas
Scharf.
Written for the HERALD.

Written for the HERALD.
Many curious customs attach to the
observance Of Easter in all parts OF the
world. From the earliest period of
Christianity Easter was considered the
queen of festivals. The primitive
Christians salutsd each other on the
morning of that day with the greeting:
Christ is risen,' ard the return salut-
alton was, Christ is risen, indeed, and
hath appeared to Simon" This Gus
tom is still retained in the Greek
church.
In the East Easter was kept at the
same time as the Jewish Passover, and
hence called the "Paschal Feast. Uo-
like other festivals, it has not fixed
day, and in old times it was celebrated
on different days,t the difference arising
in this manner: The churches of Asia
Minor, among whom were many Jews,
left it upon the fourteenth Q4th) Nissan
the month corresponding to cur Mar.
or April The churches OF the West
kept it on the Sunday following as
Christ rose on Sunday. For time
this difference WAS tolerated, but at
length disputes arose, and about one
hundred and fifty years after Christ
the Bishop OF Rome endeavOred
TO compel tee eastern churches TO con-
form to the western prac-
tice. This caused strife, which last
ed more than century. At length
the Emperor Constantine closed the
controversy by having canon passed
in the Ecumenical council that every
where Easter should be observed In
the same day, 81 d the rule was ad pit
