The death of Mrs. Orilla Huntley

Seth and Hannah Huntly, eight of
whom survive her. February II,
1910 she was married to Geo. W.
DEMO; they had five children, Clayton
the oldest died in 1870, and Estella
in 1874. The husband was called
home in 1891. The three surviving
children Celestial, Pres ton and Clifton
all live in Hyde Park, where Mrs.
DEMO lived for thirty-siX years. Mrs.
DEMO was woman of refinement,
had a very sympathetic nature, and
no needy person was ever turned from
her door. Until failing health con-
fined her at home she was often seen
at social gatherings, and she had
many warm friends. Hers was a
nature however that was best known
in her own home for she labored dill
igently for her family. The mother
is gone from the home now, and the
children as we'll as the brothers and
sisters that are separated will cherish
her memory as one who was faithful
and true.

LETTER FROM SEC. SHAW.
Concerning Deposits Of Government

concernin. Deposits OF Governments
Funds at Interest.
Washington. Feb. 5.--Secretary
Shaw's first communication on fiHan-
cial legislation is contained in q let
ter to Representative Sulzer Of New
York. concerning the latter's bill to
deposit government funds at interest
in national banks throughout the
country. 1t says:
| find on my desk awaiting my ar
rival your letter of January II, re-
fcrring to house joint resolution ILL.,.
and asking information as to the
amount of interest which the govern
ment would have realized had the pro-
posed law been adopted as a part of
the national banking law. If the sur
plus money in excess of fifty millions
working capital had been deposited
in clearing house cities in proportion
to the relative capital of each bank
therein, with no other securities than
prior lien upon the banks assets,
the government would have lost moth
ing, and if the government had realiz-
ed per cent upon the funds 80 de-
posted 1t would have received $780,
100000. Aided in this way the banks
referred to would have been able to
increase credit accommodations to
the people in the sum of 100000, 900.
This computation was made at the
instance of my predecessor Zone year
ago. and was based upon quarterly
rather than daily balances. think
some provision for the deposit of
surplus funds belonging to the United
States government with national
banks upon security other than gov
eminent bonds would be wise. though
l doubt the limitations as to the
amount of capital and surplus con-
tanned in the bill. I also question the
wisdom of mandatory provisions of
law. On the contrary, I think there
should generally be fair latitude
of discretion. Authority to act in
given line is generally sufficient.
