a serious. cold and sore throat at Po-

Praise for President.

President Roosevelt deserves great
credit for the part he has taken in
bringing about a settlement of the coal
strike said Col A. NJ. Hughes. of CO.
lumbia. Tenn, at the Ebbitt yesterday.
Il believe" added the colonel, but for
the stand taken by the President the
operators and miners would be as far
apart as ever. Public opinion was with
the President, and the operators could
withstand it no longer. The question
is now up to the miners, and / am in
clined to the belief that President
Mitchell will prevail upon the miners TO
accept the offer of the operators. The
action of the President in trying to bring
about the resumption of work in the
coal fields of Pennsylvania shows him
to be the right man in the right place.
He is truly an American.

PLAN FOR RELIEF
OF GUAM ISLANDERS
Will Be Paid for Work on
Naval Station.

The embarrassment of the Navy De-
partmcnt over the belief that it was
unable TO send relief to the people of
Guam who we're made destitute by the
destructive earthquake of September %,
has been dispelled by the discovery of
fund out of which such relief money ca
be taken.
This fund is for the repair of naval
stations, and was appropriated by Con-
gress for the use of the Bureau of Yards
and Docks. AS the entire island of Guam
is c'assed as a naval station, Acting Sec
rotary of the Navy Darling decided that
he had authority TO use part of the
money for repair work, that will, it is
believed. tend 10 decrease the distress

Wildes at Cavite to expend $4,000, to be

FIGURES INDICATE
ERA OF PROSPERITY
Bank Clearings and Deposits
the Visible Evidence.

1.-THE general prosperity of the coun-
try said Mr.. Allies, Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury. yesterday, sis best
shown by bank deposits and clearings.
THE deposits in savings banks, which
in 1897 amounted to 1899, OBS. were,
in 1901, s., 597, 094, $50; individual deposits
in national banks, which, in 1897, were
$780, 52, were, in 1902, s3.111. $50, 1856;
deposits in State banks grew from s723,-
64O,795, in 1897 to $3.50, 500, GAG in 1901
those in loan and trust companies from
1856. 1922 ,205 in 1897 to s1,271,Os1,174 in
1901 and those in private banks report
irg to the Comptroller OF the Currency
grew from s5O,27S,243 in 1897 to s11S,-
621, 1903 in 1901.
A Significant Comparison.
THUS the deposits in the various
classes of banking institutions in the
country grew from $685. SAT $50 in 1897
to $3.50. 053,136 In 1901. In the four
year period from 1892 to 1896 the de-
posits in all banking institutions OF
the country of which a record can be
obtained increased only S257, 59S, 1863,
while in the four years from 1897 to 1901
they increased $685., ZOE, sos.
ITO this visible evidence of business
prosperity may be added similar and
equally striking evidence of buniness &C
tivity, as shown by the bank clearings
of the United States, which grew frorl
s54, ITO, 954, 500 in 1897 to S114, ,226 ,021
in 1901. The contrast between the
growth of the four-year period from 1S9.
tc 1901 and that of the four-year pc
Rod from 1892 to 1896 is even more strik
ing. If possible, than that illustrated
in the statement of bank deposits. Bank
clearings in 1892 were $50. sS3. SIP, 43S, AMI
in 1896. s51 1856 ,651. 733. Thus in the four
years from 1892 to 1896 bank cle<rings
decreased SS.9i7.9 2O,7O5. while in the
years from 1897 to 1901 they increased
sO,o19. 271, 51s."

ARMY SURGEONS ROMANCE,

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-A romance
of love and war eliminated in the Ro-
man Catholic church of St. Veronica
today, when Miss Julia Agatha Dunno
became the bride of DR.. William
Donovan.
Three years ago, when Aguinaldo
was making trouble in the Philippines
DR. Donovan was appointed surgeon
with one of the regiments sent there
to help quell the insurrection. At that
time he was engaged to Miss Dunno,
but believing that he owed his first
duty to his country, he made the long
journey across the sea. 1t was agreed
that should the young physician sur
vive his services they would get mar
ried on his return. With a good rec
ord for bravery under trying circum-
stances on the field and for faithful
services, the physician returned home
two months ago to take his bride and
redeem his pledge.

The country editor must be looked
to for the perpetuity of the honor of

it likewise produce men, and 1t broad
ems mankind in general while the
cities. the congested centers of popu-
lation. burn and consume. Atmos-
phere in the cities is not healthy,
either from moral or physical stand
point, and the rural districts must be
looked to to furnish the physical and
moral stamina of the nation, and the
country editors must finally be de-
pended on to formulate and control
