the case; that IT regarded the treaty as

TO the present state of affairs. and that

Of the United States TO abrogate the

the controversy any farther and did not

BOARDING MONEY.

In the safe Of Maryland man who
died last week was found $4,000 in
twenty dollar gold pieces. He had
stored away what he probably consid-
cred the most substantial form of none
tary wealth. Such money has a great
ATTRACTION for the miser. who is usually
an eccentric character. 1t is only gold
that glitters to him. There is no means
of determining how much money is
stored away by the people in what they
deem secure places. 1t is certain that
there is not so much of this kind of
boarding in a period of prosperity as in
|adversity, when the soundness of bank
ing institutions is questioned. People
are being educated away from this
habit of secreting money by the numer-
Gus examples that come to light of loss
from robbery or destruction or loss thru
a failure to reveal the hiding place be-
fore death comes. Intelligent people
know also that such boarding robs the
cwner ofintersst which might be earned
from deposit Of investment. 1t is in fact
dead capital, benefitting neither the
owner nor the public, and only source
lof solicitude to its owner. It might bet

where miner could unearth it. Banks
and the channels of trade offer better
security. They are as much to be relied
upon as any human institution OF
agency.
1t is a good plan to save money in
the present period of prosperity. and

SAVE THE PARKS.
Meeting Of Council Called to
Consider Question.

Mayor Hughes viii call special meet
ing of the city council for Monday night
for the purpose OF reconsidering the tax
levy ordinance which was passed at the
last meeting. The object of the reconsid-
GRAFTON is to include in the law half
mill for park purposes.
Mayor Hughes said today, speaking Of
the park situation: 1T is my opinion, af-
ter studying the matter over. that if we
left the tax levy in the present condition
the parks would not be able to get much
out of the general Improvement fund The
council would in all probability give
whatever it could afford to out of this
fund for park purposes, but that would
not be as much as the parks got last year
which was about &, 600.
I am in favor of a half mill levy for
park maintenance I do not think that
anyone will try to stop the levy in the
courts, even though attorneys may think
that the act of 1893 is unconstitutional.
i think that the parks should have at
least 5000. If the city engineer finds that
it is going to have a surplus in the gen.
era1 Improvement fund the money could
be transferred to the general revenue
ments which have been hanging over the
city. I think tbs city council should pay
off these judgments and save the per
cent interest which is row being collected

Fall River Mill Owners Lower Wages

Borden. who is largely interested in
print cloth mills in Fall River, Mass,
and who has an Office in this city
speaking of the prospective strike
among the operators in New England,
is quoted by the Tribune as saying that
the mill owners of Fall River had an
nounced the proposed reduction in
wages for the purpose of precipitating
a strike, which would afford them an
opportunity to dispose of a surplus of
goods that is at present choking up the
mills. Mr.. Borden said:
Personally, I don't approve of this
way of doing business. It would be far
better, more businesslike and manly to
meet the issue squarely lay the case
before the men, and explain the neces-
sity for a temporary layoff. The men
