Political banks organized to re-
ceive-and juEgle with-the funds Of
municipalities or states. have yielded
many shameful chapters OF financial
history. An occurrence of another
sort has Just taken place in Phila-

such bank. which had f:iled. has
given his personal check for S+0o. 900
In order that the depos!tors may be
paid In full. Il was the president OF
that bank" he told the receiver: II
am responsible for more than the
amount would have to pay ns an
assessment upon my holdings OF stock.
and l am going to pay more" The
president did Ia creditabie thing when
he went beyond the laws requirements
TO guard the business men who had
trusted him: but perhaps he felt that.
since he had got into bad company
and s,ayed-he deserved to lose his
moGsy.

r. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review
OF trade says: "The worst day in
Wall street for years was in part
the legitimate result Of the best
year in business ever known. Be-
cause the country has prospered SO
greatly, and had so expanded its
business, it could not longer afford
to have many millions locked up in
carrying stocks representing mag
mary values. The question was
not one OF monetary supply.
when the country found ample
use Tor its capital in regular trade
and productive industry, a contrac-
ton of loans became necessary
which would olly have been more
painful if the volume of stocks car
ried had been larger. Reckoning
from the highest general average
last spring, industrial stocks had
fallen at the close on Monday 1927
per cent, street railroad stocks
80 80 per cent, and other railroad
aud telegraph stocks only go per
cent.
There is not even a suspicion Of
unsoundness in any considerable
branch of industry or trade. the
extraordinary expansion in some
being as we'll warranted as the
moderate gain in others. While the
price of stocks and bonds have been
trembling in price, the steel COM
panies and mills have been raising
the price of labor. Taking effect
in January l, 1900, the Carnegie
Steel Company will raise the price
of labor TO 81. so day. The skilled
hands will get an increase that
will amount to Is per cent. since
the first of 1899.

DWIGHT L. MooDY, the we'll
known evangelist, died yesterday
at his home in East Mortified,
Mass. He was a Yankee and born
in 1887 in Mortified, Mass, and
passed away in the house where he
first saw the light Of day. In 1887
he went to Chicago, became mis-
sionary. built a church and was
ordained its pastor. In 1870 he
heard Sankey sing. Sankey was
then government official and at
Moody's persuasion gave up his
position and joined the evangelist,
who afterwards stirred Christians
in two hemispheres. They sang
and preached throughoutthe United
States. They visited England sew
eral times and drew large crowds.
The first big meetings East were
held in the old Pennsylvania depot,
now John Wanamaker's grand de-
pot. During all his life Moody was
orthodox. He believed in heaven
for the good and hell for the wicked
and that every word of the Bible
was true. Hepreached always and
untiringly. He housed the Y. M.
c. A. in so different cities. He has
gone to his final reward. His last
words were: Il have always been
an ambitious man, not to lay up
wealth, but to find work to do.
