The goling brotherhood OF the city
and suburbs, together with their
friends, wore an anxious look yesterday
up to 3 O'Clock. At that hour signs Of
clearing weather were manifest and
the spirits of the ladies and gentlemen
gathered at the Woodsdale club house
In goodly numbers, correspondngly in
creased. The ladies' committee, as per
announcement in yesterdays Register,
had made great preparations to have
the social side equal to the occasion,
and to have rain mar the function
would be too much. But 1t didn't. AS
the afternoon wore away the skies
frightened and a more charming even
ing could not be made to order. The
company was very large and brilliant;
SO large, in fact, that many had to HE
to the hooks and corners under the
shade trees for more room. Delicious
ices and cakes were served by the en-
ergetic committee constantly until eight
O'Clock, which was very highly ap-
preeiated, and particularly by the play
ers and the scorers at the end of the
match.
Precisely at four o'clock play was
called, and by 7:30 the six pairs had
finished the IS holes. AS anticipated
In these columns, the Wheeling team
won by a net of 20 holes up, con-
siderably more than the friends of the
Highland team expected. The contest
was under the rules of match play, that
is, by holes, and the result went thus:
Ewing beat Pollock (Haryey) 8 up;
Paxton (Charles) beat Campbell 3 up;
Storer beat Paxton q. W. 2 up; PAUL
beat Hustled 5 up; Hildreth beat Bates
II up; and Pollock q. Jr.) beat Bloch
l up.
The real test of skill is in the number
of strokes which it required each player
to do the IS holes, and while 1t cuts no
figure in the result of the above match,
it is herewith produced for analytical
purposes:

TOBACCO HONESTY.
"a Chewing With n Con-
%sciencc Behind IT, Reaps the Re-
ward of the best Policy.

"a Chewing Tobacco With n Con-
science Behind IT, Renps the Re-
ward of the Hest Policy.
That fine sentiment, Honesty is the
best policy which has stimulated so
much worthy effort and made success
easier in many places, has always been
the guiding principle in the manufac-
ture of Wetmore's Best chewing to-
bacco.
Some one has aptly described Wet
more's Best as " a chewing tobacco
with a conscience behind it," so closely
have the manufacturers held to the
spirit of the adage quoted. But the re-
ward has come; no only in a comfort
ing self-approval, but in a large bust
ness; a business that is extending from
day to day until 'Wetmore's Best is
known wherever a good chew is priced
or sought.
This best quality is not attained
without effort. in addition to good in
tent The tobacco used in Wetmore's
Best is selected by expert buyers with
a view to uniformity of quality, man.
ufactured by the most advanced meth
DDS in a model fa%ctory-all of which
requires a very large and very intelli-
gent business organization.
Every buying and factory effort is
given to quality and uniformity There
is not a penny used for anything but
legitimate business effort in making
and marketing Wetmore'S Best.
No premiums.
Because every premium that is given
must be paid for by reducing the
quality of the tobacco.

A Moderate Rain About Noon Yes
terday Discouraged the Ambitious
Thermometer.
The mercury started out yesterday
morning at the fairly hot pace of 80 IN
the shade at z o'clock, and by noon
had mounted to go. That proved to be
the high point of the day. however,
for lust before noon a storm cloud came
out of the west, and the result was a
slight decrease in the temperature. The
bulk of the storm passed norsn Of Mar
tin Ferry, where there was some very
vivid lightning and a heavy downpour
of rain, but no especial damage was
reported from that locality in this city.
Here the rainfall amounted to about .25
of an inch, the most serious effect be-
ing the disappointment of numerous
picnickers and exctrsionists and the
postponement for a couple of hours OF
some of the afternoon entertainments.
After the rain the sky cleared and the
latter part of the afternoon and the
evening was characterized by good
weather, the thermometer going up to
80 at 7 o'clock, when the barometer
stood at 1928 inches and about sta
tionary. At nine o'clock last night
there were indications of another storm
north of the city. -

WAITING FOR ADVICES,
Third Member Of the Schley Court Not
Yet Announced.

Yet Announced.
Admiral Dewey, president of the Schley
court of inquiry, was at the Navy Depart
ment today in consultation with Assistant
Secretary Hackett. Admiral Dewey will
leave shortly for the north for a months
rest. The successor to Admiral Kimberly
on the court was not announced at the
Navy Department today, but Secretary
Hackett was hourly expecting advices
which might enable him to make public the
name of the officer whom the department
has selected, should that officer respond
favorably to the communication that has
been sent hlm.
Smith & Hulshe of this city have been
selected to make a stenographic report of
the proceedings of the court of inquiry
There was considerable competition for this
work, and the contract was given to the
local firm on the ground that their bid was
for the best interests of the government
1t is extremely unusual for the government
to invite proposals for work Of this char.
acter, but in view of the expected length of
the investigation of the West Indian cam
paign and the magnitude of the work of
reporting it's proceedings, it was deemed
desirable to pursue that course.
There were no developments al the Navy
department today in connection with the
proposed Investigation Of the West Indian
campaign. Acting Secretary Hackett said
this afternoon that no one had yet been
selected to fill the vacancy on the court Of
inquiry caused by the withdrawal Of Rear
Admiral Kimberly. There appears to be
some hitch in that matter, but exactly
what 1T is has not been disclosed. IT. is
believed that the department is finiing
considerable difficulty in finding a man
who meets all the requirements VINO is
willing to serve. AS the court will rot
meet until September II there is still plenty
of time to complete the court.

BUSINESS OF THE BANKS
CONDITION OF LOCAL FINANCIAL. IN.
sTITUTIoNs COMMENTED UPON.
Increase I'm Deposits and in Loans
Favorable Showing as Compared
With Other Years.

In local business and financial circles a
subject of a good deal of interest just now is
the condition exhibited by the recent state
ment of the national banks and trust com
panies to the controller of the currency. IT
was generally supposed that a falling off
in the amount Of deposits would be shown
as compared with the figures of three
months previous Instead, however, all OF
the twelve national banks, with the excep-
tion of three, report an increase in the de-
posits and the four trust companies make d
similar showing. An increase is also re-
ported in the loans
1t is the general experience of those who
are familiar with business conditions here
that there Is much more activity at this
season of the year than is usual during the
summer period. At the beginning of the
last month of summer the report comes in
very generally from the banks and trust
companies that business continues active.
In fact 1t is stated that for some reason.
and to an unusual degree, the deposits are
greater in bulk than was the case last
year. while the demand for money is much
greater.
A large part of this summer activity is
attributed to the building operations in all
parts of the city, which, of course. requires
money. No explanation is given ot why
there is more money than ever before on
deposit, in spite of the fact that during
entire real estate tax for the year. amount
ing to over $35O0,OOO, was paid to the Dis
trict tax collector, and by him deposited
in the United States treasury. The with
drawal of this large sum from circulat ;on
has apparently had no effect up)n TIE
bank statements.
The entire deposits in the national bank
and trust companies amount to over thirty
three and half millions of dollars an in
crease during the past three months Of
about three and three-quarter millions.
Seven or eight years ago, according to the
recollection of Mr. John Joy Edison, the
deposits of the District institutions were
only about twelve fifteen millions so
that in that period there has been an in
crease of what may be termed the banking
capital of the city of over 100 per cent.
There has also been an expansion of the
loans, which shows that the money is be-
ing used.
1t is believed by some financiers that this
phase of the development of the District is
due in part to the increase in the popula-
tion, but perhaps, in larger measure. to
the education of the people in habits of
saving. as well as of making Of bank
ing institutions.

BOY ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
RASH ACT OF ERNEST PETIT, AGED
SEVENTEEN.
Declared He Was Anxious to Die and
Refused AntidOtes-MentiOn
Family Troubles.

Earnest Petit, seventeen years old, who
lives at 1O17 Maryland avenue southwest
attempted suicide about 1 o'clock this
afternoon by taking laudanum. He was
in the establishment of the Evans-Jany
Printing Company, No. 800 Louisiana ave-
nue., where he made the attempt. He de-
clined to accept attention from physician
and also refused to go to the hospital. PO-
liceman Galpin, who answered the call for
help. forced him to enter the ambulance.
He was taken to the Emergency Hospital
where the doctors relieved him of the lau-
danum he had taken and soon had him
out of danger. The boy declared he was
anxious to die, and assigned family
troubles as the cause.
Petit was given employment as press
feeder in the printing establishment
named about two weeks ago, and after
working several days he told one of his
employers that his domestic affairs We're
not of the happiest. There was nothing
unusual noticed about his conduct, how
ever, when he appeared at his place of en-
ployment this morning At noon he stopped
work and ate his lunch Then he swal-
lowed the poison and took a seat on a big
paper cutter to await developments 1t
was few minutes after l o'clock when
he called member of the firm to where
he was seated and said "Sood-bye.'
What's the trouble with you?" asked his
employer, who noticed he appeared a little
drowsy, although he really believed the
boy was joking.
Family troubles the boy remarked
land l want to die
A small bottle, labeled poison was
picked up, and when it was evident that
Petit had swallowed its contents the men
in the office sent for assistance. DR.. Czarra
was the first professional man to arrive
but upon being informed of his presence
the boy declared he would take no antidote
M tn ,f4S1 hold l.
administered an antidote, and then he de-
cllned to drink a cup of coffee that was
procured for him.
When the Emergency Hospital ambulance
arrived the boy had to be forced to enter
it. as stated, and then he was hurried to
the hospital. The surgeons at the institu-
ton took charge of the patient and the
stomach pump was applied.
The young mans relatives We're notified
of his act and he will probably be placed
in their care. The bottle in which he had
the laudanrm was taken by the police and
an investigation will be made to see if the
law was violated in the sale of the poison.
