In many homes, whether the dinner
Is special affair or not, the dinner ta-
Bile Is always deeked with the national
colors. Then too, so many pretty little
decorations are now provided that one
can give festal air without much
work or expense. Tiny flags, bonbon

drums, Liberty bells, wee maids In the
guise of the Goddess of Liberty and MI
merous other devices help to make the
table gay.
A pretty way to utilize the national
colors is to arrange six or eight candle.

PUBLIC DEBT DECREASED
And Cash on Hand Increased During
December.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The monthly
tatement of public debt shows that at
the close of business December 81, 1901,
the national debt, less cash in the
treasury, amounted to $1.011 ,628, 286, a
decrease for the month of IS, SAB, 1872.
The debt is recapitulated follows:
Interest bearing debt, s943. 279. 203.
Debt on which interest has ceased
since maturity, 81, 3S9, 100.
Debt bearing interest, $685., 612, 563.
Total, 81, 333, 231 564.
This amount. however, does not in
clude $S11, 46s, 0s9 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding, which are
offset by an equal amount of cash in
hand which is held for their redemption.
The cash in the treasury is classified as
follows:
Gold reserve fund, $50, 000, 900.
Trust funds, 1911, 46S, 0S9.
General fund, $145, $40, 09S.
In national bank repositories, $112,
653, 5344.
Total. $1.21s, $751; 21, against which
there are demand liabilities outstand-
ing amounting to $685., 028, 463, which
leaves a cash balance on hand of $S21,
SOB, 1928. There was an increase for the
month of $4,592,61 in the amount of
cash on hand.

weather and fair prospects, we have
the reasonable prospect of a great
country whose people in the main are
feeling the prevailing buoyancy and
the imbued with the national optimism
They have sat by and watched with
complacency, perhaps even with lit
tie pride, material developments that
would have seemed incredible few
years ago. The steel trust with $1,100,-
100000 of stock. beside the little matter
of $500 0O0. 900 bonds, is a big thing, an
American big thing, and hurrah for US.
Mr.. Carnegie gets the $500. 100000 of
bonds in exchange for his possessions,
or perhaps in part pay, and when he
gives away a million we all rejoice in
the growing philanthropy of the times.
That the steel trust grew out of a
threat to parallel the Pennsylvania
road. that the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany was bought up at eight times its
previous value because otherwise its
funds were to be used to parallel the
Erie into the coal region, that the c.,
B. G. O., not long ago below par, was
purchased at 200 to prevent its being
used against another road, and that
Northern Pacific common, long hnger-
ing below 80, ran up to $1,000 a share in
a fight for fear that road would be
similarly USED, is taken rather as 0VI-
dence that we carry on our affairs on
good big scale than that much of the
wealth of recent days is accumulated
by methods which are generalship in
the large and highway robbery in the
small.
Meanwhile, as the bigness of things
grows bigger, we see the railroads and
similar public conveniences drawn in
to the grasp of a few men, and watered
down at each new grip. Whether in
tentioally or otherwise these are all
evidences of the coming precipitation
of the question of government control.
1t is fair assumption that men smart
enough to bring these things about are
capable of seeing what they lead to-
So there is plenty to look forward to
with interest, plenty to test our ability
to govern ourselves-especially if we
spend an hour on the problems of gov
eminent to days and weeks given to
chasing the dollar.

At o'clock this morning four masked
robbers entered the bank Of Camden
Point and wrecked the vault with dyna

Of the bank, and H. F. Rixey, a local

the crack shot of the town, they sur
rounded the bank and opened fire on
the robbers. After q fusillade lasting
several minutes. in which one of the
robbers was shot in the shoulder, the
bandits broke away from the bank, ran
to the railroad tracks and escaped on

The statistician OF the Chicago Tri-
bune has grown busy again and pre-
sents the following in relation to en-
bezzlement: THE record of embezzle-
ment and other forms of financial dis
honesty during the year just closed. like
that OF the three years preceding 1t, is
distinctly encouraging. The record of
the last four years is as follows: 1898.
S. s51. 1858; 1899, $2.21s S73; 1900. 81 sec, 134;
1901, s4,OS5,56S, as compared with the re-
ports for a long series of years pre-
ceding 1898 these amounts are compare
lively small and they testify eIoquently
to the general prosperity of the times.
1t is only in periods of panic or general
financial depression that the embezzler
largely hourishes, or his work becomes
apparent. The banks, as usual, were
the principal sufferers in 1901, their
losses amounting to s1,51S,4se, but even
these figures are small when compared
with those of some past years.

DROP In VALUES
Is What Wrecked Business of ST.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 3.-The directors
of the st. Paul Trust company, well
known institution of this city, of which
General J. W. Bishop has been presi-

voluntary liquidation. Public Exani-

the coDlpany's decision at noon stating
that from his knowledge of the trust
company's business he believed all
creditors would be paid in full although
the stockholders probably would lose
part of the investment. The company
has carried on an extensive business
and administered several large estates,
late Commodore Norman Kittson who
left five or more millions, the last ac-
ton on his property having only recent

litigation of this estate, the heirs con-
testing the trust companys claim for
compensation and securing a big cut IN
the amount claimed. The most serious
case against the company, however,
was that of the estate of G. d. Strong
whose estate showed a depreciation oe
more than $100,000 during the ten years
it was in charge of the trust company

been no criminal improperly of action
in handling the Strong estate but that
