NEW YORK. Oct. 23.--C. l.. Alvord.
the note teller OF the First National
Bank, has been missing for week. Five
hundred thousand dollars It is alleged
has also disappeared. He has been en-
ployed in the bank for many years and
is we'll known In banking circles. He
had the confidence Of President Baker
and other officers. It isa complete sur
prise to everybody. The loss to the bank
is hardly disturbing, as it has deposits Of
thirty.fve millions. Alvord lived at
Mount Vernon and had wife and three
children. 1t 10 believed the money was
lost on speculation. The bank officials
refuse to 20 into the details Of the em-
bezzlement.
NEW YORK, Oct. 73.-Later it was
stated the stealing amounted to $7co,o 900.
The following was issued late this after.
noon by the bank
"The note teller, who has been en-
ployed in the First National bank for
many years, is the defaulter in large
amount. His operations have continued
for considerable time and have been
skillfully concealed through the nanipu-
lation Of his balance book. The discovery
was made by one Of the bank employees
q few days after the completion of an ex-
animation Of the bank by the state ex-
aminers.
During the continuance of his pecula.
tions periodical examinations have been
! made by several distinct corps Of exami-
ners without developing any irregulari-
ties. The aggregate Of false entries
amounting to 100000 has been charged
| off on the book out of the reserve fund
without diminishing the surplus and pro-
FITS Of the bank. 1t is expected the
shortage will be materially reduced by a
substantial sum, Of which there Is fair
prospect received"

MILITIA ISM.

Although "militarism" isn't as con
spicuous as it was just before election
there is a good deal of talk about what
congress will do with the army. There
appears to be wide difference of opin-
| ion between the views of the various
military and civil authorities regarding
what legislation is necessary for the
army during the coming session, and
unless an agreement is reached there
promises to be a lively debate and dis
custom General Miles favors a stand
ing army of 10000 men, one soldier for
every one thousand inhabitants Sec
rotary Root ID credited with wanting
100000, and Chairman Hull of the House
committee on military affairs says that
a bill should be passed authorizing the
organization Of an army that could be
graded from 81 900 to 100000, at the dis
erection of the President.
So far nothing has come to light in
the way of "militarism' that will scare
anybody but Mr. Bryan, and perhaps
he isn't as sensitive as he was a few
weeks ago. If we don't have an army
of more than $4,000 or 100, 900, it won't be
likely to take away our liberties.

| Massachusetts, has a law forbidding
the claim is made that it has done much
good, especially in butter, condensed
milk, species of condiments, coffee, mo-
lasses, maple syrups and maple sugar,
honey, confectionery and canned goods
The percentage of authorization iq these
articles is much lower than a few years
ago; but in wheat flour, spirits, wine,
beer and cider, drugs, jellies and jams
good deal of adulteration is found.
At the present time the deliberations
of coffee are chiefly those which consist
of a mixture the chief ingredients of
which are usually pure coffee in the
proportion of 60 to so per cent, the re-
mainder consisting either of chiccory or
cereals, or both, the whole being sold
either in bulk or in packages of two to
five pounds or more, These are usually
labelled as blended or mixed coffee, or
often as pure coffee, but quite as often
they bear a misleading label which,
after considerable study, appears to in
dictate a mixture. Within the past few
years adulteration has found in jelies
and jams a fruitful field of operation.
Not many years ago the principal con-
stituents of such articles were chiefly
fruit, sugar and water, but the tenden-
cy to cheaper the product has led to the
introduction of glucose instead of cane
sugar, of cheaper instead of more ex-
pensive fruits and of aniline dyes to i'm
itate the color of genuine fruits.

Austro- Hungarian army. This device
consists of leather sole, under the heel
of which is contrivance Of metal with
a long spiral spring inside. The patent
is SO simple that it can be readily at

of the spring is to obviate any jar when
placing the foot on the ground, so that
it is like putting the foot upon cush-

A coon Word FOR TOBACCO.

Some recent investigations have re-
suited in giving alcohol little more
respecta bility than it has had, and now
there is competent testimony that to-
bacco is more useful than some of it's
opponents are willing to admit. The
London Lancet is inclined to believe
that, used with due moderation, tobacco
is of value second only to food itself
when long prlvations and exertions are
to be endured. Says the Lancet: We
have it from many who took part in
the forced marches leading to Paarde-
berg, to Bloemfontein, to Pretoria and
beyond that when rations were but two
or three biscuits a day the only real
physical content of each twenty-four
hours came with the pipe smoked by
the smouIdering embers of a camp fire.
This pipe eased the way to sleep that
might otherwise have fingered, delayed
by the sheer bodily fatigue and mental
restlessness caused by prolonged and
monotonous exertion. 1t is difficult,
then, to believe that tobacco is any
thing but a real help to men who are
suffering long labors and receiving lit
tie food, and probably the way in which
it helps is by quieting cerebration-fo
no one doubts it's sedative qualities
and thus allowing more easily sleep,
which is so all-important when semi
starvation has to be endured.
1T will be noticed that the Lancet
talks about tobacco as used in pipes,
and not about cigarettes.

NOT A BURNING QUESTION.

| Senator Jones, the chairman of the
Democratic national committee, has
reached the point where he can see
| that the silver problem may solve it.
self. Should" he says, "the amount
of gold produced be ample to maintain
a sufficient volume of metallic money
and insure the stability of prices, the
silver question will be subordinated,
but should the supply fall short of the
demands Of trade, the silver question
will be made prominent
OF course. And all the signs are that
there Is going to be gold enough. Six
years ago DR.. Suess of the University
of Vienna feared that the worlds gold
supply was nearing exhaustion. -Four
years after his prediction it had in
creased by nearly sixty per cent. Most
of the increase was from veins in rock
formation which promise to last much
longer than the placer mines of Cali
fornia and Australia. Better facilities
and improved methods of mining have
been introduced of late years, so that
the results are correspondingly great.
With the expected increase in the Rand
product there Is an actual growth in the
supplies from the American Northwest.
The limit of this is not yet in sight.

Modern War Mechanism.
Searchlights, Steam Plou9hs and
Heliographs in South Africa.


AS might be expected, the English
are using in the South African war the
most modern military appliances that
can be had. They are thoroughly up
to date in the matter of guns and am
munition, and even the surgeons are
using new means Of developing \
rays. The War Office has negotiated
with NIarconi's business representa-
tlves for wireless telegraphic outfits,
and by this time the apparatus ought
to be in service. Moreover, num-
Der of other appliances that are not
necessarily instruments of war have
been put to use in the contest with
the Beers.
One of the most striking instances
OF this kind is the employment of
steam plough for digging trenches.
The ploughshare and pruning hook
are particularly typical of the arts and
spirit of peace, but now, for the first
time iu history, the former implement
has become military weapon. The
steam plough is not in itself any
novelty. It has been used for years
on large scale in the western parts
of the United States, where the great

Roots of Trees and Berry Bushes.

The fruit grower might assume with
considerable ntidence that if the
roots of his trees and bushes and
vines were in excellent condition at
there would be no failure of the crop.
This would only be comparatively
true, for there are insects and blights
that attack the fruit and foliage of
trees and vines growing on good roots;
but as rule the damage done by these
pests is much less ON stock that is in
thriving condition. So we can say
that primarily the condition of the
crop is largely determined by the
OTIS and their relative vigorousness.
In the winter time the roots are the
only part of the stock that must be
protected from the excessive cold, and
if they are not damaged the trees will
weather the hardest winters. Artifi-
cial protection OF the roots in the
north is thus generally recognized
necessity, but we do not ways give
the same care and attention to the
roots in the summer.
Root-injured trees in the first place
should never be planted. If the nur-
sery man sends them to you to fill an
order, return them, and have them
deducted from the bill. They will al
ways prove disappointing and unsatis-
factory. 1t is better to take the bull
by the horns, and remedy the evil at
the outset. In transplanting our stock
most of the small fbrous roots are in
jured, and according to our present
system of digging up trees and vines
there seems to be NO remedy for this.
But there ought to be some method Of
transplanting stock without disturbing
the rootlets, or at least without seri-
ously injuring them. When these
roots are transplanted, the roots
should be soaked in water and moist
earth at once. That tends to COM
pensate little for the trees loss of
vitality. But the main thing in sum-
mer is to have the roots growing in
congenial soil. This can only be ac-
complished by having the soil we'll
drained and the II ees sunk we'll down.
They should not have mound of
earth around them in summer, for that
makes the water run Of. They should
rather have hollow circle around the
trunk where the water can collect.
This, of course, only when the soil is
thoroughly drained below. Then no
stagnant water will collect. In this
slight hollow the fertilizers and mois-
tnre can be poured, and they will go
direct to the root feeders where they
are needed, d there will be little or
no waste such as is often the case by
the present system Professor james

A Famous Western Capitalist.

Among the progressive element for
which the middle West is famous, Mr..
John G. Hubinger, of Keokuk, Iowa,
is without apeer. AS manufacturer,
rs an enterprising capitalist and as a
philanthropist his fame has spread
over many States. Although but
forty seven years of age, he can look
back upon scores of commercial
victories, each one OF which has bene.
fited mankind, for his liberality is as
bountiful as his business sagacity lie
marvellous. Mr.. Hubinger was born
in New Orleans, La, his parents be-
ing OF French and German origin. AL.
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on number of valua
BILE mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
His attention was early directed to
the manufacture of starch by improved
processes, and in the course of time
he became the head of concern hav
ing an annual business of millions
of dollars.
