FAREWELL TO WI.
Chinese Minister Is Given a Banquet
at Delmonico's.

New York, Nov 14.-Wu Ting Fang
the retiring Chinese minister, was the
guest Of honor of the SILK Association
of America and the American Asiatic
association at banquet given at Del
monico's last night. The guests includ-
ed Mayor Low, Cornelius N. Bliss and
James J. Hill.
A telegram of regret was read from
Secretary Hay in which he said:
Il should have been glad to bring my
sincere tribute of respect and esteem
of Mr.. WI Ting Fang My constant
association with him for several years
has given me a high appreciation of
his great ability and his open minded
craftsmanship
President Roosevelt sent the following
dispatch from Memphis, Tenn:
Pray accept my best wishes for your
association and convey to the minister
of China the assurance of my high es-
TEEN and my appreciation of what he
has done toward securing cordial under
standings and good will between the two
countries
Responding to the toast 1.-The health
of the guest of the evening" the Chinese
minister said in part after expressing
thanks for the manner of his introduce
ton:

try, when anything happens concerning
both countries which it is my business

PREACHER DRUMMER.
That Is Unique Combination Found

F. A Morris, travelling salesman for a
Chicago drug firm, who registered at the
National hotel Thursday evening, is COM

the profession of Christian minister; or,

: THE C. o.. ID. MAN.
How He Got Away With a Parrot
Five Dollar Shoes.

Through the operation of the &c. o.
d. trick the Parler Shoe store was
swindled out of a IS pair of shoes Sat-
urday. Shortly after 1 p. NJ. a neatly
dressed stranger entered the store and
asked; to be shown some shoes. After
selecting pair to. his liking he request
ed that the purchase be sent to SO Var
lex street at 8 O'Clock promptly, promis-
ing to pay for them then and there.
When the delivery boy reached the
house at 98 Varick the man who had
purchased the shoes stood in the lower
doorway waiting for them. Stating
that he would bring down the money
the slick looking gentleman went up
stairs, and that was the last that was
seen of him. 1t Is supposed that when
he reached the top. of the stairs he as
quickly descended another stairway to
an opening on Hamilton street, and by
the time the boy waiting for the money
began to suspect that something was
wrong, he was probably many blocks
away. A similar game was worked in
the same building about a year ago
The description given by the, salesman
of the man who ordered the shoes is:
About 5 feet 6 inches tall, about $50
pounds in weight, black mustache and
black hair, claid in black suit and over
coat of the same color. His hat was a
fedora pattern and black.
A similar swindle was once before
worked at the Parlor Shoe store. The
scheme has also been tried successfully
in other cities. The police here are even
now looking for a. woman who secured
a sealskin cloak worth several hundred
dollars in Albany. This woman had the
cloak brought to rooms which she had
taken, in order, as she stated, that she
might show it to her husband. While
the delivery boy was waiting in an
outer room. for her, to SHOW it to her
building by another. exit-Utica IN. W

EXCESS OF LOANS.
Comptroller Of Currency Closes
a Boston Bank.

Boston, Nov. 1.-THE Central National
bank of this city did not open for business
today. the comptroller of the currency
having ordered the bank examiner to close
its doors and take charge of its business
The closing of this bank is said to be
due to excess of loans and lack of quick
assets. An appeal for aid was made to
the Boston Clearing House association,
but the committee did not deem It advis-
able to assist the bank.

lions of the city. 1t was organized in 1875

gregate s, $4,000, and it is believed this
