Gold in The Treasury.

Washington, Jan. 5.-"The
gross gold in the treasury today"
said Ellis q. Roberts, United
States treasurer, "is $4S0,709, ,005,
breaking all records. At the end
of March, 1889, the treasury held
1928, ,293, ,901, which was the largest
sum accumulated during any
administration ir recent years
until within the last two, and three
years. Our immense gold hold
ings are due, oee course, to the great
prosperity of the country, to the
increased production of gold in all
directions and in large part to the
fact that the United States is now
the creditor nation of the world"

THE SHORTS ANXIOUS.

Somuch depends upon the move

are being watched with extrome
interest. That they are, 30 far, so
much smaller than expected by the
bears is a koen disappointment to
those operating for decline. That
the bad weather which has prevail.
ed in the South is in some meas
ure responsible is not doubted,
but this has not prevented the
comparative lightness of receipts
from .unnerving the shorts, nor
from encouraging those friendly
to the market to buy.
A feeling is gaining ground that
unless a tightness of money or a
general scare of some character
forces the holders of accumulations
IN the south, ,'to en'ieavor to unload
in hurry and all together, prices
will continue relatively firm until
the approach of the planting sea-
son, with it's acreage possibilities
and climatic uncertainties, infuses
new elements into the situation
for or against the market.
The bulls believe that long ere
this occurs substantial and
warranted advance will have
occurred, while the bears believe
that, with speculation dormant,
the south will ultimately be forced
to press for sale the vast quantity
of cotton which they believe is
held there. 1t is a pernlexing
outlook and one which may we'll
puzzle the most careful operatator.

Carlyle and His Tobacco.

Down in Chelsea, within a
stones throw of Cheyne Row,
there is tobacconist who used to
supply Carlyle with his favorite
weed. Carlyle was constant and
a heavy smoker. Sir Charles
Gayan Duffy once suggested to
him that one who suffered so much
from sleeplsssness and indigestion
ought not to smoke constantly.
Carlyle replied that he had once
given up smoking for an entire
year at the instance of a doctor,
who assured him that his only
ailment was too much tobacco.
At the end of the year hs was
wslking one evening in the country,
80 weak that he was hardly able to
crawl from tree to tree, when he
suddenly determined that. what.

SALT A LIFE PRESERvER.
Ex-Mayor Hewltt's Vitality Said
to be Due to That Diet.

New York, Jan. 1-Abram S
Hewitt, who hegins the present
century in good health, although
in his 10Th year. owes much of his
bodily vigor to an elixir of life
which a French physician found
for him in q salt of sodium.
Researches made by Prof Vim
H. Howell, of Johns Hopkins uni
versity, and by Professors Loeb
and Lingle, of the University of
Chicago. which indicates that salt
or chloride of sodium stimulates
the heart, if, indeed, it does not
produce cardiac action, have at
tracted much attention abroad.
French physicians have for several
years been using phosphates of 30
dium, and especially the glycero-
phosphate of sodium, to awaken
slumbering vitalities. They con.
tended that in rare cases the ely.
cero-phosphate does more than
stimulate. It even increases
strength.
Mr. Hewitt has been 30 g 'eatly
bene6ttt d by the use of the g|y-
cero-phosphate of sodium that his
physician declares be has practi.
cally obtained new hold on life.
Mr. Hewitt, when seen this after
noon, said that he did not care to
discuss the matter. He admitted,
however, that be hadstaken the
salt of sodium under the advice of
physicians.
Mr. Hewitt's physician said to-
day:
"Mr Hewitt was suffering from
general weakness in 1897. He had
no organic trouble. He had been
an exceedingly active man, and he
felt that he ought to be able to
walk better, for he could at times
get about only with great diff
Guilty. He did not nave as good
an appetite as he thor -bt he should
have.
"He went to Paris and there
met DR. Robart, a French phyei-
clan, who became mach interested
in him. The French physician
prescribed substantaneous injec.
tions of the glycero-phosphate of
sodium. The treatment was con-
tinued while Mr. Hewitt was in
Paris and he was surprisingly
benefited.
HE gained in strength and ap-
petite. He now experiences no
difficulty in walking and has 3
good appetite. He is able to &C
complish much mental work. /
think that Mr. Hewitt is now much
stronger than he ever would have
been had he not taken the treat
ment." baltimore Sun.
