Another Pinrrce Pardon,

LANSING, Mich, Dec. Ex-Governor Pingree has pardoned Charles k. Mains. a Battle Creek lawyer. About two years ago Mains used language derogatory 70 Judge Clement Smith, whom he accused of conspiracy to ruin him. He was given a hearing in the supreme court on a charge of contempt and was disbarrcd Governor Pingree in granting the pardon says that Mains was not given an oppor- unity to prove the truth of his charges and that he has suffered great loss in be ing deprived of the right to practice his profession. This is the first time in the history of the state that q pardon has been issued to an attorney disbarred from sracticing law. and the courts may not recognize it's validity.

BANK COMMISSIONERS REPORT.

 Financial Footing.

Savings Banks of the State on Secure
 Financial Footing.
 Hartford. sDec 31.-The bank com missioners' report for the year ending December 31, 1900, is published to- day. The report shows a remarkably secure financial footing for the say ing banks of the state. with winch the document has mostly to do.
 The number of savings banks has been increased to 80 by the addition of the New Hartford savings bank, which commenced business May 12, 1900, un- der d charter granted by the general assembly of 1899.
 The following statement give an ab stract of the assets and liabilities as compared with those of October 1, 1899: Loans on real estate, SGT.705, 492 76: loans on collateral security, & ,O14. .S30.02; loans on personal SC curity only, $3,4TT.--v.4I; invested in United States bonds, $1,2GS,2OO: in vested in state, town, city. school dis trict, and corporation bonds and obll- gatOns, $43, 745. .56S.41; invested in rail road stocks and bonds, S52S9i.031.3): invested in bank stocks, SI,34S.212.24; real estate owned, including banking houses, $3,2aO 655.G4: miscellaneous assets.

 Each class of assets has increased, with the exception of the amounts in vested in United States bonds and mu- nicipal bonds. which together have de- creased $1 722. .0O9.04. The increase in the amount of railroad bonds is very nearly the same as that for the year ending with October 1, 1899. The in crease in deposits is $9,646, 147.54. be- ing S1 .O05. .34S.61 less than the previous year. but much larger than in any year before that one.
 By the United States census of 1900 the amount of deposits per capita is $2O22
 The years 1899 and 1900 show an in crease in the number of depositOrs of 34 :I32. and a total increase of deposits for the two years of S2O. O.299, 443.GO-a wonderful showing for the state of Connecticut.
 The rate per cent of dividends paid the past year is shown in the following table:
 The amount of capital of the state banks remains the same. but the capi- tai of the Trust companies is increased S457. 200 by the amount of the capital of the Colonial Trust company of Wa terbllry. which commenced business November 1. 1899. and further install mentS paid in on the stock of the Home Trust company of Derby and the New Haven Trust company.

A Demand for Five Hundred Dollars
 Made on a Minister.


 Made on a Minister.
 New York, Dec 30-Taking advan- tage of the interest generally aroused by the Cudahy kidnapping case, per sons not yet apprehended have, ac- cording to the police. attempted by threats to extort $500 from the Rev Dr John r. Peters, pastor of St Mi chaels Protestant Episcopal church.
 Full details of the plot have not been made known. Captain Schmitt- berger, of the tooth street police sta tion, refuses to discuss the affair be cause he still hopes to accomplish the arrest of those who have threatened Dr Peters. The latter last night re- fused to talk, beyond making the state ment that he was not in d position to say anything until the police gave him permission.
 It is understood that several letters, all of a threatening nature, were re- ceiyed during the last fortnight by the Rev Dr Peters, who was finally informed that the Cudahy affair would be repeated with his daughter as a victim unless he complied with the de mand for $500.

A woman who is endeavoring to main- tain q large family out of the earnings of q shiftless man tells rather inter- esting story about one of the rOoSterS pranks on the day before Christmas. She was taking the last baking of flour out of the barrel she had and wondering where the next would come from when she heard rap at the back door, and on opening 1t she found man on the outside who wanted to know where she wanted to have him put that barrel of four. What bar rel of flour?' inquired the good house wife. fully satisfied that the clerk was al the wrong place. We didn't order any yet" The man said he knew nothing about that, but that he was sent out from kellys with instruc- tionS to leave the flour there and with out further quibblin& he rolled bar Tel of Pillsburys into the kitchen and then went his way. When the woman recovered from the shock she com menced to inspect the newcomer and noticed an envelope tackled onto the head of the barrel Of course she opened it, and why not? Who had better right? It was addressed to her husband and contained . card on which was written: "A Merry Christ mas. from Kelly's Rooster When the head of the house came home from the factory the woman showed him the nOte and after reading it. she states that the only comment he made about it was that Kelly must have made a mistake else he would have asked her to give his man an empty barrel It is things like this which leak out once in q while about Kelly that save him from being mohhed when he goes about talking for Me Kinlcy and the trusts and combines.

FOR STATE TREASURER.

The candidacy of Conway Marshall for state
treasurer was fairly launched by the Garrett
Journal.
Mr.. Marshall certainly wants the hearty sup.
port of the Democrats and Populists. If hard
and persistent work, fidelity and libeiality
counts for anything in this combined party of
reform, Marshall, to say it plain, is always
right. His counsel being invariably sought by
candidates and party managers alike when there
Is an opinion sought or political battle to be
fought. Mr.. Marshall is man of well-inatsr-
ed judgment; is able to make an unquestio.n-
able bond; and capable to discharge the duties
of the Office His thirty-fve years of active
life in Kansas have given him an acquaintance
iu nearly every county in the state, which es-
pecially evuips him to make campaign that
would add strength to the ticket by the coop
Grafton of all the elements that are actually op-
posed to Mark and Nc. We can elect our
state ticket and Bryan electors.

CLAY CENTER CONVENTION.

The convention to elect delegates to the ma
tional Populist convention was harmonious
meeting, and the election of delegates passed OFT
without hitch.
There were rumors of "scrap" between the
various candidates for governor, but it failed to
ali present and there was strong antiBreid-
enthal sentiment. However, everybody was in
a good humor, and no "scrap" took place.
The plan to re-organize the state committee
at Clay Center fell through.
Terry Simpson spoke to good crowd in the
city park in the forenoon, and VIM. Bryan
addressed crowd of several thousand people
in the afternoon. John S. Crosby, of New
York, expounded the single-tax gospel at the
onera house in the evening. Bryan was again
called for, but the rain stampeeded the crowd
As is already known, D. w. Ramsay was
chosen to represent Anderson county at the ma
tional convention.
