Oxford Orphans Friend

UXIOrd UTpHanS FTienu.
Someone has suggested that only rich
children are received into the Oxford
Orphan Asylum. If that friend meant
diamond minds, we have many young mil
lionaires; if he ment golden prospects,
they are just revealing in wealth; if he
meant character gems, the whole hill is
sparkling with jewels.

A DANGEROUS POWER.

The Alien and Sedition laws, enacted
to abridge both personal liberty ana
freedom of speech and of the press, first
aroused public hostility to the Adams ad-
n,inistration. The recent ruling of Mr.
Madden, Third Assistant Postmaster
General. is kin to that legislation. he
decided that a paper could not enjoy the
second class rate of postage if eonsid-
cradle amount of their subscription list
was made up of subscriptions paid for
by persons manifestly interested in the
circulation Of tie publication because Of
THE DOCTRINES TT ADVOCATES or
because of the goods it advertises.'
The exclusion of mere advertising
sheets from the privilege of second-class
rate is to be commended, but it is dau-
gerous to put it in the power OF any man
TO exclude publications because of cir
culation paid for by men who favor the
doctrines it advocates" To establish
that precedent might result in serious
blow to the liberty Of the press at seize
future time 1t is bad precedent

PREVENTING YELLOW FEVER.
Experiments at Havana Prove the
Mosquito to be the Cause.

Havana, Feb. 17.-Major w. G. Cor
gas, chief sanitary officer Of Havana,
says the principal work of the sanitary
department for the past year has had
for its object the determination Of yell
low fever, and that he has many rea-
sons to believe Havana has been ac-
tually purged from the disease. DIR
ing the last 100 years, Major Gorgas
says. yellow fever has been epidemic
in Havana, and all sanitary measures
that have been taken have had no
effect. General disinfection, as car
ried out for other diseases, has been
tried to no purpose; but yellow fever
sharply disappeared upon the introduce
ton of the system based on the killing
of infected mosquitoes, on the theory
that by such mosquitoes could the dis
ease be transmitted.
From September IS, 1901, not single
case of the fever has been reported.
and this condition Is so unusual that
in the opinion of the major 1t puts
aside all questions of chance. During
the last f0rty-five years scarcely a
month has passed without deaths oc-
curing from the fever. In 1857 2,O5S
deaths frcn the disease were reported.
and in 1866 there were fifty-one deaths.
The average for forty-five years has
been 751.
In 1891. with the new system, there
was only eighteen deaths, and twelve
of these occurred before the system
was put in operation. At the beginning
of 1901 the conditions were most un.
favorable, and there was every pros
pect that yellow fever would be preva-
lent. During 1900 there had been 1,244
cases Of the disease and $40 deaths.
On March /. 1901, the plan Of killing
infected mosquitoes was put into eff
foct, with the result that only six per.
sons have died in Havana from yellow
fever since that time.

RUSSIAN EARTHQUAKES.
Hundreds Of People Killed In the
Southeastern Districts.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-THE latest
news received here from Shamaka con
firms the appalling character of the
earthquake at that place, and adds 300
corpses have already been taken out
OF the ruins. The piles Of wreckage
are SO vast that the search Is neces-
sarily slow. Most Of the victims were
Mussulmen. The survivors are ell
camped outside the ruins of the city.
Baku, Russian Trans Caucasia, Feb.
1.-THE district headman OF Shamaka
.telegraphs that the town N now almost
completed destroyed, only a dozen
houses being left standing, and that
the loss OF life was very great. The
church. the mosque, the barracks, and
the treasury were destroyed. Twenty
five thousand inhabitants are without
food or shelter. The shocks continued
to-day.
Tlfiis, Russian Trnns-C aucasia, Fob.

earthquake which destroyed the town
OF Shamaka had been recovered up to
last evening. 1t appears certain that
several hundred bodies are buried In
the assures and debris caused by the
shocks. The quakes continue at inter-
walls and the work Of excavating in

GREAT BANK RECORD
IMMENSE LOANS AT NEW YORK.

enormous Expansion Brings inc otai
Near the Billion Mark-0reatIy
Increased Deposits Show the Bank
Statement out of Harmony.
New York, Feb. 1.-THE Financier
says:
The statement of the New York as
sociaIsd banks last week shows a rec
ord-breaking maximum in the items Of
loans and of deposits and this, too,
notwithstanding a loss of cash.
The official return of the cash was
entirely at variance with the estimate
based upon the traceable movements
Of money between the banks and the
treasury and the interior, the official
statement showing Il net loss of $685.,
100, made up of a gain of $1,516,I00 in
specie and loss of So 202, 500 in legal
tenders, while the estimated movement
ST WED gain of $2,619, 100 cash. This
discrepancy may be accounted for by
an outward movement of legal tenders
through the mail to Boston and Phila-
delphia, which shipments were not re-
ported by the bank tellers who con-
fined their reports to the amount of
money which was delivered to or re-
ceived from the express companies.
The loans were expanded last week
by $13,49S,7O This makes n total
expansion since the second week in
January of $67, 767 800 and the loans
are now $685., OO4, 700, or $13,215, 100
greater than the largest amount of
loans on record. which was $91S, $780,
800, March 8, 1901. Deposits We're in
creased by $14,597, 100, showing that
the statement Is out of harmony
BE, 1915 to $40, $50, $50, or only $7OS, 400
above the surplus at the corresponding
date n year ago. Then the cash hold
ings Of the banks were 1855, 6S4, 700,
whereas now they are $267 $685. 800.
Comparisons of changes in the item
of loans and of cash by seven of the
Wall street banks show that six out
of the number increased loans by $12,-
100000, while one bank showed a de-
crease Of 81 100000 making net gain
of $11, 100000. Two of the six banks
expanded loans by $9,OOO,OO0.
The statement of the associated
banks for the week ending Saturday
shows:
Loans, s932, OO4, 700; increase, s1s,-
