Well, Mrs. Ames bought a large
stock Of Millinery, Dress Goods
and Ladies' Furnishing Goods
this fall and placed them on sale at
the Bazaar. The goods were OF
the best quality and style and the
prices 40 low that any one could
purchase. The goods were not
long on hand, but new stock kept
coming to ali the empty shelves.
Though they sell fast. she still
has a splendid assortment to selee,
from. Miss Ida Crabb, who has
charge Of the millinery department,
is an adept OF the art and knows
how 10 please her customers and
can furnish any kind OF hat you
wish for street or dress.
The Bazsrr's entire corps oi
clerks are untiEing in the,r efforts
to show goods and make every.
body welcome, whether a purehas,
eT or not.
The new china they are showing
is beautiful. II you want a wed

Christmas gift, nothing viii be
more appreciated than a piece o.
China. When you want anything
in Millinery, Dress Goods, Fur

val your letter of Jan. IL referring tc
house joint res olution l12 and asking in
forma ton as to the amount of interest
which the government would have real
lied had the pl opposed law been adopted
as a. part of the national banking law.
''If the surplus money in excess of $780,
900 working capital had been deposit
ed in clearing house cities in proportion
to the relative capital of each bank
therein with no other security than
prior lien upon the banks assets, the
government would have lost nothing, and
if the government had realized per cent
upon the funds SO deposited it WculI
have received $22, 000, 900. Aided in this
way the Lanks referred to would have
heen able to increase credit accommoda-
tons to the people in the sum of 5000, 0)C,-
coo.
This computation was made at tho in
stance Of my predecessor zone year ago.
and was based upon quarterly rather than
daily balances.
Il think Some provision for the sur
plus funds belonging to the United States
government With national banks upon Sc
cunty other than Cover nment bonds
Wo0ld be wise, though | doubt the linn
itations as to the amount of capital and
surplus contained in the bill. I also
question the wisdom of mandatory pro-
visions Of law. On the contrary, l think
there should generally be a fair latitude
of discretion. Authority to act in a Civ
en- line is generally sufficient.
