EMPLOYESREGEIVECIFTS
WALL STREET PERVADED BY THE
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
Banks, Trust Companies and Ex-
changes Make Handsome Pres
ents to Those Who Have
Served Them Well.
SpeciaI to The Globe,


NEW YORK, Dec M.-After a year OF
enormous transactions and immense
profits, the exchanges, the banks, the
trust companies, the bankers and brok-
ers, made handsome Christmas presents
to those who have well served thems as
employees and those in more confidential
positions who have helped them to make
millions.
Those presents were in cash, of course,
for Wall street and everyone in it values
cash most of all. 1t was conservatively
estimated that $1,0000 600 was given in these
presents.
j. Pierpont Morgan gave to each of ten
of his most trusted employees a new s., 900
gold certificate and half of their annual
salary to every man and boy in his bank
ing house.
The First National bank gave the
amount of his annual salary to every one
The exchanges and nearly all the
banks and trust companies, were equally
generous.

TREASURY PORTFOLIO TO GOV.
SHAW SETS TONGUES
WAGGING
MIDDLE WEST MEN PLEASED
Congressman McCleary Hands the
IOwan Several Bouquets and Ex-
presses Satisfaction at the
Appointment
TWO IOWA MEN IN CABINET
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.,

Washington Ds Cs
Washington, D. c., Dec. 24.-The tender
of the treasury portfolio to Gov. Shaw of
iowa, by President Roosevelt, was prob
ably the most surprising of the many
surprising things that have occurred
since the present chief executive has
been the occupant of the White house.
While it is asserted by Gov. Shaw's
friends that he is a most capable man.,
the fact that he will be the second Iowan
in the cabinet is probably the reason fer
that surprise, as Secretary Wilson has
been regarded as the one man of the
Mckinley cabinet who will remain in his
place to the end of this administration
at least. 1t is stated positively that
Secretary Wilson will not resign, and
the selection of Gov. Shaw for the Sec
retaryship of the treasury is taken as
another indication of the presidents in
dependence and his intention to disre-
gard. precedent in selecting his official
family.
1t is pointed out that President Cleve-
land had two New York men in his
cabinet, and Mckinley two Pennsylvan-
ians, although the latter knew that Post
master General Smith would retire to
private life within a few months of
KnoX's installation.
1t is not doubted here that Gov. Shaw
will accept the tender made him by the
president. Gov. Shaw is in politics tor
what he can get out of it. He wants to
be vice-president. He is well known in
the middle West, but he has few ac-
quaintances and no following in the
East. AS secretary of the treasury he
will be brought in touch with people
whose support he needs, and he can go
before the Republican national conven-
ton in 1904 with strong backing for the
nomination for the second place on the
ticket. These are the potent reasons
cited by the Eastern politicians for his
probable acceptance of the Office of sec
retary of the treasury.
Aside from the political features of the
appointment, the recognition of the
middle West in the selection of Payne,
of Wisconsin, and Shaw for places in
the cabinet is highly gratifying to rep
resentatives of that section. Representa-
tive McCleary, of Minnesota, voiced the
sentiment of Republicans from that
section when he said today:
II am delighted at the prospect of the
appointment of my friend, Gov. Shaw,
of Iowa, as secretary of the treasury.
The governor is very well fitted for the
position, and will prove a worthy sue
cessor to Secretary Gage. He knows
men in all ranks of life, and is thor
oughly familiar with national finance.
He has the affectionate regard Of the
Northwest and the confidence of the
leading men of the entire country Since

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 24.-Rev. Charles
M. Sheldon's large congregation has
unanimously joined the pastor in peti-
tfoning congress to declare for arbtra-
ton to stop the Boer war Rev. Mr.
Sheldon is a strong supporter of the
Boer cause He investigated the subject
considerably while in England last sum-
mer and says:
"I believe that if the question of sub
mitting the matter to arbitration was
left to a popular vote of the people OF
England rs per cent of the population
would vote in favor of it. The mass of
the British people are getting very tired
of this war. There has peen great
change in the public sentiment in Eng
land since the beginning of the war
The pastor favors President Roosevelt
and Queen Wilhelmina of Holland as ar,
bftrators. At the close of the service
the people who attended the lecture
formed in line and signed their names
to a petition which the minister had
written. 1t simply appeals to congress to
take action to stop cruel war.

AUTOMOBILES SCARE HORSES.
Mrs. William sands and Mrs Duncan
Elliott in n Runaway

NEWPORT, r. l.. July 1S.-The auto
mobile in the hands of society people is
furnishing more excitement in Newport
than ever before. hardly a day passing
that an accident is not reported
Reginald Vanderbilt. with mis- big Easo-
line machine, has again caused q run
away. but instead Of a letter carrier this
time it was a fashionable turnout in which
were two well-knoWn society ladies. who
fortunately escaped unhuEt- Tuesday
afternoon Mrs William Sands and Mrs.
Duncan Elliott were driving on Kay
Street in a beach wagon behind two spir-
tied horses driven by Mrs Sands coach
man when MIR. Vanderbilt was seen com
ing in the opposite direction
His automobile makes an unearthly
noise and it proved too much for the
horses. When Mr. Vanderbilt got abreast
Of the team the horses SHE'D. and boiling
broke the harness and started At break
neck speed through Kay Street. Mr. Van
derbilt stopped his machine, but it was
too late; the damage had been done.
With the breaking Of the harness the
pole dropped to the ground and as the
horses tore along the pole went swinging
between them. The cOaChman was unable
to do anything but he hung onto the
reius bravely. realizing that to give the
animals their heads would mean the up
setting of the wagon. Mrs Sands stood
llp and grasDcd the cOaChmau. while Mrs.
Elliott hung onto Mrs. Sands, and in this
manner the trap went down the street
Mr.. Vanderbilt turned around and was
after the runaway, but he could do no
good. the noise behind only adding to
the horses fright
For nearly a mile the horses went until

there. and the coachman brought the an
inlals 20 q standstili. Jumping out he
seized the horses while the ladies got
out Mr.. Vanderbilt offered apologies and
what assistance he could give. and the
ladies were taken home in another trap
Those who saw the affair expected to see
the women thrown out at any moment
and all are loud in their praise Of the
pluck Of the coachman-
Yesterday afternoon there was a collision
between an automobile and a cyclist, IN
which the latter was thrown and his leg

There is much feeling in Newport over
the speed with which some Of the auto
mobiles go through the streets, and it
IS almost impossible to stop them In time
to avert accidents. The law limits the
speed to eight miles an hour but they
can be seen going all the way Up to

THE KOCH LUNG CURE
HOME TREATMENT
That Cures Consumption and
Asthma.

BY the inhalation method as used by
the Koch Lung Cure this germ killing
remedy is combined with healing oils
and breathed directly into the tubes Of
the lungs and 1t comes in direct contact
with the disease itself, and thus the
poison which causes consumption IS killed
and the healing oils of the inhalation are
enabled TO heal up the sore places The
old way-by injection-was successfully
used by Prof. Koch and hundreds Of
physicians who attended his college IN
Berlin and became educated in its use,
but it has now generally given place TO
the more successful treatmeHt-the Koch
Inhalation.
At the Berlin University Prof Koch
teaches this treatment 10 his students.
At the German Government Laboratory,
Of which ne is the chief. he promulGates
his fcrmulary for curing consump ion
By the use Of the inhalation invention,
which carries the healing oils directly into
the air tubes, decay of the lungs is ar
rested and the sore and diseased places
are healed. and the oily medicated vapors
are brought directly in contact with the
affected parts through the tubes Of the
lungs, and results are secured in con
sumption. bronchitis, catarrh, and asthma
which never We're and never could be
accomplished by the old way of taxing
medicine into the stomach.
