PLENTY OF BONDS NOW.

Washington, August 13-With the ex-
ceptlon of comparatively small amount
of coupons, the bureau OF engraving and
printing is now able to meet all de-
mands for the new extended per cent
bonds, due in 1890, and as a consequence,
the Secretary of the Treasury today dis
continued the issue of the temporary
bonds, and hereafter the permanent issue
will be given in exchange for all sur
rendered threes, fours and lives, which
are covered by the act of March IA, 1890.
About 1896, 095, 900 OF the original
amount has been converted into the
new 2 per cents and it is expected that
before the offers cease entirely, fully
one half of the whole amount will have
been extended at the new rate. By this
transaction the government has netted
a saving of about $lO 600, 900.

SAVED BRYAN'S BOY.
General Wheeler Rescues Him From
PeriIOus Position.

Chicago, August 13.-General Joseph
Wheeler, commander Of the department of
the lakes, today saved the life of William
Jennings Bryan, Jr., the twelve year old
son of the Democratic candidate Tor the
Presidency. The lad visited General
Wheeler and the latter, after his first
greeting, turned to his work and allowed
the yOungSter to amuse himself. Young
Bryan found a loose chair caster and
big bundle of rubber bands. These he
tied into a long string and securing the
caster to the bottom, went to q window
and began bouncing the piece OF iron up
and down on the sidewalk, seventy five
feet below. The boy gradually became so
interested in his play that he leaned
farther out OF the easement of the win
dow. Fighting Joe'' happened to
glance up a few minutes later and was
Mortified to see the lad hanging with his
whole body over the sidewalk and only
the toes Of his shoes visible, clutching the
angle of the window He sat aghast for
moment and then rushing to the win
dow he pulled the lad in by his legs.
Speaking of the occurrence afterwards,
General Wheeler acknowledged that young
Bryan was within an inch of being
dashed to death on the pavement below
when he caught sight of him.

STRENGTHEN OUR BUSINESS PILLAR.

The legion of Afro Americans whose
strong public spirit and race pride
hs We prompted them to patronize trades
men of their own color, are thanking
Mr.. Booker I. Washington for being
so thoughtful as to suggest National
Negro Business League. They see
visions of better order of things in
the way of speedier service, higher
quality of goods and more reasonable
prices. Phenomenal as our progress
in business has been, (and no agency
has been more enthusiastic in its lauda.
tiOn than The Colored American), the
Negro has much to learn about the
art of attracting and holding trade.
The fist aggravating Indictment which
sticks against our business class is
their wretched slowness. 1t takes them
too long at restaurants to serve lunch
and at groceries there is an inexcusable
delay in tying up bag of meal. There
is woetul lack of system in manage
ment lack of tidiness in personal ap.
pearance, lack of variety in stock, and
an absence of that confidence inspiring
air OF appearing 30 know just exactly
what to do Ia an emergency. If Mr..
Washington's conference In Boston
next month can devise some means by
which the Negro tradesmen and the
Negro consumer can "get together"
and do business on business principles,
with prOmptness, accuracy and Justice,
the millions who want to keep their
money ia the hands of the race will
rise up and call him blessed.
Finance and trade are the two weak
pillows OF our temple. They must be
girded by the iron bands of fellowship.
