A PORTO RICAN BANK.
Seeks to Be Made National Institu-
ton to Issue Circulation

New York. Sept SIT is probable that
the project for establishing the First
National bank under United States laws
in the West Indies viii be abandoned,
for the present, at least The colonial
bank Of San Juan, Porto Rico, is the
one in question. 1t was opened in April,
1899, and has an authorized capital Of
81. 900, 600, of which 100000 has been sub
scribed- It has eleven directors includ-
ing the president, William Schall, Jr..
and the cashier. L. L Arnold. who has
actual charge Of the bank in San Juan.
Last April Mr.. Scha1l applied to Comp
troller Dawes for permission to make
the Colonial bank a national institution
and this week he received notice that
the application had been granted
Since his asking for permission. how
ever, congress passed a law giving to the
secretary Of the treasury power. at his
discretion to name banks other than ma
tional banks. as United States deposit
tories and by this law one of the chief
reasons OF directors for making their
application has been removed The Co
lonial bank Of San Juan is, in fact,
United States depository now and the
only advantage It could receive by be-
coming a national bank would be the
right to issue circulation
The directors here decided to send the
news OF the granting Of the application
to the directors in Porto Rico and await
an expression of their views.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Fine cut fresh bone is one of the best
foods for laying hens and young chick
ems. Tainted bone is vile.
During the winter months, when
grain is fed in considerable quantities,
grit is absolutely necessary to the
fowls.
Unfertile eggs are preferred for the
kitchen, because they are supposed to
retain their freshness longer than fer.
tile ones.
Leaves and dry earth make an ex.
cellent combination on the floor of the
poultry house. Dry earth absorbs and
disinfects, while leaves make scratch
ing material for the fowls.
"A New York commission firm advises
that all kinds of poultry be killed by
cutting through the roof of the mouth
to the brain with sharp-pointed knife.
The idea is to bleed the fowl freely.
Only choice, well-selected dressed
poultry should be shipped to the city
markets If good prices are expected.
Unassorted lots invariably bring poor
returns. Snip the culls separately, II
they are to go.-Ohio Poultry Journal.

Office Of Internal Revenue Collector
Harkins at Asheville, N. c., the other
day. The old man is manufacturer
of wine and leads secluded life in Bun

For some time reports have come to
Collector Harldns' Office that Mr.. Cleve-
land was violating the revenue law by
failing to affix stamp to each bottle he
put up. The collector wrote Cleveland
q letter asking him to come in and make
an explanation. Mr.. Cleveland an
swered in person. The collector put his
case to his visitor, informing him that
the new law required a stamp for every
bottle Of wine. Cleveland was astound-
ed. In his seclusion he had learned
nothing Of the law to raise money for
prosecuting the war and be had gone
on innocently violating It. Az soon as
the case was made clear to him he made
out q statement Of back tax due by him,
swore to 1t, paid the amount and Fought

more money for farmers to pay thei'

capitalists will save more money for

II they buy new tools, new clothing or

not every manufacturer or employer
feels confident that this improvement
in the business outlook is to be per-

now look for ten or twenty years of
higher prices, higher wages and abun-
dant prosperity, until people get rcek-
less and begin to feel that they are safe
in expending more than their income
or spending it in advance. Then may
come panic such as we knew after the

MINERS CONVENTION.
Nearly Five Hundred Delegates At
tend the Opening Session of the
indianapolis Meeting.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 15.-Nearly
500 delegates to the national conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America were present at the opening
session and another 100 are expected.
The larger delegations here are: Ohio,
30; Pennsylvania, IS; Illinois, 1870; Ken.
lucky, Is; Iowa, 10; West Virginia,
20; Indiana, 60.
The convention represents 100000
workmen in 81 states.
All of the delegates came instructed
to demand an advance in the scale,
but there is some difference as to how
much will be demanded. Most of the
delegations are very reticent on this
score. The Indiana delegation decid-
ed upon an increase of Is cents per
ton.
In the matter of machine mining it
was concluded to stand for a fiat diff
ferential rate of cents between pick
and machine mined coal. This is the
Illinois rate and, while the delegates
are of the opinion that the operators
have slight advantage even at this
rate they will be satisfied if the con-
vention fixes it at this figure. The
pick mines will suffer under this rate
in slow runs, it is said, and great
many men will will be idle, however,
the figure named is looked on as be-
ing as near an equitable basis as can
be reached.
Screens came in for great amount
of discussion, and it was finally deter
mined to demand one and q quarter
inch Akron bar screens, 6x12, and
while this did not meet the approval
of all the delegates an agreement was
reached to accept these.
