.MARQUANDS Go UNDER
Collapse of Well Known Firm of
New York Stockholders.
SEQUEL TO BANK FAILURE.
Estimates Place the Liabilities of
the Firm mt as High n Figure
as $4,000, OOO--The Cause
of the Crash.

New York, June 2S.-Henry Marquand
& Co. have failed. Estimates place the
liabilities as high as $5,000,000.
The collapse of this banking house
had been confidently expected by Wall
street ever since Tuesday, when 1t be-
came known that the Seventh National
bank had got into straits by loan to
the firm of 81 100000 made on what Is
generally regarded as poor collateral
The closing of the Seventh National
forced by the comptroller of the cur
rency because Henry Marquand & Go.
could not put up cash for the big loan,
rendered the failure of the banking
house necessity.
Frank Sullivan Smith Of 81 Wall
street Is assignee. The counsel for AS
signee Smith is Henry w. Taft. Mr.
Taft made the following statement
during the day:
Il cannot say much at present, as we
have not had time to examine the
hooks. and the exact situation Is not
known to the assignee, of course. The
situation, so far as it can be sized up
now, depends largely upon the way in
which the firms affairs can be worked
up and how advantageously the securl-
ties which are held for loans may be
realized upon. SO far MS can be judged
from the general view of the situation,
matters look favorable, but we won't
he able TO determine the exact situa-
ton for several days. We can form no
estimate ms To the assets and liabilities,
and il will be some little time before a
ment relative to that will be issued
just now"

History OF the Firm.

Just now.
History of the Firm.
The firm Is less than years old, hay
ing been organized in 1888, with Henry
Marqmnd, son of Henry q. Marquand,
as the board member. Frank Poor, son
of Il. Il. Poor, the late president of the
Park National bank, was the other
member. The concern engaged the i'm
mense office at 100 Broadway, which
had been formerly occupied by Mar
q,land Il Parmly. The names Mar
quand and Poor were In themselves
valuable assets in the financial com
munity. Their office was so large and
pretentious that it had the appearance
of il bank.
Mr.. Marquand had been literary
critic and financial writer on an even
ing paper Of this city. and Mr.. Poor
had Il wide circle Of acquaintances
The firm started out with Il flourish of
trumpets and I'M energy that attracted
4 large business. II started on wave
of rising prices and bullish enthusiasm.
In Il short time II was engaged in pro-
noting slow moving enterprises The
most important of these was the Pitts
burg, Sllawmut and Northern railroad.
Others We're the IIackensack Land,
Marquand Building company and the
Gas and Electric Company Of Bergen
County.
OF course extensive operations of
this kind call for large amounts of cap
ital, Millions were locked mp on the
firms railroad enterprise, and in oh
talning accommodation they We're com
PEELED TO ask for money on the stocks
and bonds of the companies promoted
by the concern.
Marluand X Co. was loaded TO the
brim With its own promotions. Then
the seventh National bank STAYED off
a failure by coming TO the rescue of
Mauluand X Co, and the mistake was
accompanied by The suspension of the
bank.
The Failure of the seventh.
There is no news in connection with
the suspension of the Seventh National
bank. The temporary receiver who
was in charge said there was nothing
10 BE- made public.
George w. Adams, the cashier of the
bank, has given out the following card:
"McsSrs- Erskine Hewitt, Hugh
Kelly and Lorenzo Semple retired
as directors of the Seventh Ma
iional bank in january last and
since that time have had no official
connection With the said bank. This
statement is made by reason of the
/ publication in various papers that the
above named gentlemen were connect
ed with the present management Of the
seventh National bank"
Assistant Postmaster Morgan saws
that the postollice is now using the sub
treasury rs Il temporary place of depos-
il instead of the Seventh National bank
and that everything is going along very
smoothly. There is margin Of about
! $4,000, he said. between the postal de-
posts in the bank nj the time of the
failure and the S250,0OO government
bonds put up by the bank as security.

UN-CLASSIF

A certain preacher when preaching
on cleanliness, mentioned that he had
seen brass monkey in his town set
up in store with cigarette in his
mouth. 1t was automatically ar
ranged that when the cigarette was
lighted the monkey would draw in
the smoke and puff it out again. The
works stopped on one occasion and
the monkey was taken apart to dis
cover the cause, when the works were
found to be clogged and in filthy
condition. The moral was drawn by
the preacher thus: eff the smoke
from cigarette will stop the works
of a brass monkey, what will it do
for you" -Ex.

The D. B. Hill boom for 1904
reached Washington forty eight
hours ago in charge of Bird S: Coler,
Comptroller of the City of New York,
says Washington despatch. That
it is not a secret boom may be seen
from Mr.. Coler's very frank reply
when asked what brought him to
Washington: 81 have been seeing
democratic Senators and Representa-
tives in the interest of David B. Hills
nomination for President. I believe
Mr.. Hill will be the nominee in 1904.
[ think he will have the support of
democrats of every state in the Union.
His friends have taken hold of this
matter in earnest, and are going to
push his claims for the nomination
with greet vigor from this time on, I
have not heard a single objection to
Hills nomination, and [ have talked
with many leading democrats from
different parts of the country. On
the contrary, what l have heard con-
firms me in the belief that Hill will
be the next democratic nominee for
President" The invasion of the Hill
boom seems to have taken the thick
and thin Bryan democrats by surprise.
Their private talk indicates that the
Hill democrats and the Bryan demo-
Gratis may indulge in little fgura-
live throat cutting before long.

for YOU

An Iowa man, who moved to Deko-
ia few years ago, after trying the
country gave it up as a bad job, and
left the following farewell written on
the wall of his Dakota residence: Six
miles from a postofice, twenty-five
miles from railroad, fourteen miles
from a church, bothered to death with
the flies, half a mile from water and a
quarter of a mile from HI. God
bless our home! Gone back to Iowa,
to get fresh start" Two years later,
not having got a fresh start in Iowa,
he came back to Dakota and found
another man on his claim just thresh
ing out a $1,000 fax crop.-Ex.

Editor Berghuis, of the Clara City

Editor Berghuis, of the Clara City
Herald, came out victorious in the
libel suit brought against him by a
creamery promoter. About year
ago a man named Adams, from Glen
coe, attempted to Organize cream
cry near Clara City. In his dealings
with new creameries at other places,
Adams had not always given salts
faction, and the Herald warned it's
readers not to haye anything to do
with him. He called for retraction,
but the Herald reiterated it's former
statements, and Adams brought suit
against it's editor for $1,000. The
jury decided that Berghuis was act
uated only by a desire to protect the
stockholders of the creamery from
possible imposition, and bore no ma
lice toward the promoter, Adams, so
a verdict was returned in favor of the
Herald. The people of Clara City
are jubilant oyer the result. They
recognize the justice of the Herald's
position. 1t was trying honestly to
protect it's readers from being impos-
ed upon, and the people of that COM
munity believe that it was doing only
what was right.-Benson Monitor.

a Huneroua Turlk.

A typical Turkish humorist was Kho-
ia Nasreddin Effendi, who lived In the
fourteenth century. OF him this story
Is told:
"One Friday the khoja's fellow VII.
layers insisted on bis preaching ser
mon in the mosque, which he had new
er done, not having any oratorical
gifts. He mounted the pulpit sorely
against his will and, looking around at
the congregation. asked in despair. 'Oh,
true believers, do you know what am
going to say to your They naturally
replied, NO We'll, am sure don't
he said and hurriedly left the mosque.
The congregation were, however, deter
mined to have their sermon and next
Friday forced him again into the pull
pit. When he again put the same ques-
ton. they replied by agreement, Yes
oh, them he said. If you know
needn't tell you, and again escaped.
On the third Friday the villagers made
what they thought must be q successful
plan. They got the khoja into the pull
pit and when he asked what had now
become his usual question replied,
Some Of us know and some OF us
don't Then replied the khoja, let
those Of you who know tell those who
don't After this the congregation re-
signed themselves to do without ser

NEW TACTICS.

The deportation of Filipino cons pi-
rators from Manila to Guam, has
been acquiesced in DO the President
only after long hesitation and full
consideration of the arguments in its
favor submitted by army officers, and
after the failure of every other method
that could be devised to break up the
methods of conspiracy that flourish
ed in the city of Manila under the
leadership of Filipino generals, who
after surrendering and taking the
oath of loyalty to the United States,
continued to assist the rebels and to
keep the fires of revolt in blaze. It
was impossible to secure sufficient
evidence against these men to put to
death, and the only alternative SEEM
ed to be to take them away to where
they could do no harm. About TWEEN
ty-fve of the most notorious generals
and aids were selected for the expert
ment, and they are probably now on
their way to Guam. They will be
treated at Guam as prisoners of war,
with such liberties as comport with
their rank and station in life, and
will have every physical comfort, but
they will not be allowed to send in
cendiary letters to their homes. The
effect of this experiment upon the re-
volt, and especially upon other con-
spirators in the Philippines, will be
watched with great interest. The
Filipinos, it is said, are not afraid of
death, but they are greatly afraid of
the unknown, and it is hoped that
the enforced departure of friends and
relatives will have a disheartening
effect on those of the secret rebels
who remain.

THE UNSPEAkABLE TURK.

He Scorns All Effort but Military
Service and Agriculture.
A Turk thinks it the most natural
thing in the world to lose a province
and, having lost it, to quit and live
elsewhere. Hestalks quite complacent-
ly of leaving Constantinople some day.
He will go over to Asia and found an
He takes what he finds without as
similating it and remains profoundly
Turkish. He leaves no trace Of his
occupation except ruins. Practically
there is nothing at Belgrade, Sofia and
Athens to show that for centuries they
were Turkish cities.
Ali occupations, except agricultural
and military service, are distasteful to
him. Yet there are two other charac-
teristics even more important than
these. The first is his sense Of disci-
pine. 1t Is this which keeps together
the apparently tottering fabric Of the
Turkish empire. 1t makes the half fed,
half clothed soldier ready to endure
every privation and prevents the cor
ruption and incapacity Of the officers
from producing the anarchy which
would be inevitable in any other coun-
try. Sedition is unknown. Even COM
plants are rare, and were a holy war
proclaimed there is not man who
would not be prepared to die in de-
tense of the system Of extortion which
grinds him down.
His second characteristic is his Iazi-
ness, in spite Of the laborious indus
try Of the Turkish peasant The fact
is that the Turk is too proud to do
many things, too stupid to do others.
His religion inculcates a fatalism
which tends to a conviction that eff
fort Is useless. London Telegraph.

THE PRIrIARY LAW.

The question of extending the Min
neapolis primary election law tc
other counties in the state is already
before the legislature. Some effort
will be made to have the law extern
ded to only the more populous coun-
ties of the state, but it should be ex-
tended to all of them. The primary
elections which are provided for in
this law should nominate the candi-
dates for county Offices and elect the
delegates to congressional and state
conventions. No attempt should be
made to extend the operation of the
law to the direct nomination of any
higher Offices than those of the coun-
ty. The law is so democratic in its
underlying principles that it should
not apply to sny civil division which
is too large for the operation of pure
democracy. The people of an entire
county constitute about as large a
unit as there is, in which there is
enough community of interests and
continuity Of interests to constitute
democracy.
This question also has good deal
to do with the other reform which is
being so much talked Of recently of
the election of United States senators
by the people. The election of sena-
tors by the people is not half so i'm
portant as their nomination by the
people, and the only way this latter
could be accomplished would be by
having state convention made up
of the representatives of the people,
rather than the representative of GER
tain political bosses If the delegates
to state convention came directly
from the people, they could be cleo
ted on their expressed preferences
for certain candidate, and in this
way the people would have good
deal to say about who their senator
should be.

The inconsistency of some people is
truly refreshing, remarks an old time
country editor. Every town has it's
merchant who doesn't advertise. 1t
doesn't pay and no body reads the
papers anyhow. However, when an
epidemic of smallpox hits the town
the man who doesn't advertise calls
the editor into his store, sets'em up
to the musty stogies and says:
Don't print anything about it,every-
body reads the papers and it will
hurt my business"
