GIFTS TO THE CHIEFS
WATCHES AND MEDALS SENT TO
THE sAMoANs.
Mark Of This Country's Qualification
at Receiving Cession of Sovereign
Rights in the Islands.

In July, 1900, Commander B. F. Tilley,
U. S. N. commandant OF the United States
naval station, Tutuila, forwarded to the
Secretary Of the Navy the instrument OF
cession of the sovereign rights of Tutuila
and neighboring small islands, which was
given to him by the chiefs of the Islands
without solicitation. In consequence of that
voluntary act of loyalty on the part of the
people of Tutuila, through their representa-
tives, 1t was determined to send greeting
to them from the President of the United
states and to present each chief with a
substantial gift. A silver watch and chain
were selected as the most suitable gift be-
cause of its educational character. The
timepiece was inscribed as follows:
Presented to - by the President of
the United States IN recognition of his vol
unfairly signing the instrument of cession,

In addition to this a silver medal was
also presented to each chief, bearing a

MUST GIVE DUE NOTICE
OF DEPoSIToRS IN
CAPITAL SAVINGS BANK.
The Institution Remains Open for
Transaction Of Business-Presi-
dent Terrell's Statement.

The depositors of the Capital Savings
Bank, an institution managed by colored
men at COS F street, and mainly patronized
by colored people, have been informed that
they must give notice of sixty days OF
their intention to withdraw money. At the
same time no deposits are received. Inc
bank, however, continues open as usual.
The president of the bank is Robert H.
Terrell, one of the justices of the peace for
the District of Columbia. He was seen in
his office this morning by Star reporter,
and had the following to say in regard to
the institution of which ne is the head
For some cause or causes the charac-
ter of which 1 cannot fully determine
now" he said, "a withdrawal of money on
the part of depositors in the Capital
Savings Bank has been going on for sew
eral months. AT first this condition did not
alarm the officers of the bank, because 1t
Is usual in the summer months for the
Withdrawals to be large. The school teach
ers, many of whom deposit with US, do not
draw q salary during this period, and they
generally use up a large part of their sur
plus. The clerks in the departme nts gen.
orally take their vacations at that time, and
ways considerable. These losses are usually
recovered IN the fall months. when the
teachers and clerks are back at their work.
A Quiet Run on the Bank.
This fall. instead of the conditions being
normal, there has been a quiet run on the
bank, and the directors felt 1t expedient to
announce that sixty days notice would be
required from those intending to withdraw
deposits. Such a notice was given Monday
afternoon, but the bank remains open for
the transaction of business, such as the
collection of notes belonging to the bank
and to depositors. No further deposits have
been received. 1t is my personal belief that
the depositors will not lose cent. The dl-
rectors will meet tonight and endeavor to
formulate some plan for the future which
it is hoped will meet the approval OF the
depositors.
For many years the officers of the bank
have struggled to maintain this institution.
They were influenced by the motive that
as IL was an institution established by col
ored men and managed by co!ored men they
had a feeling of race pride to see 1t sue
ceed The members of the board Of direc-
tors, the president, secretary and treasurer
have received no compensation whatever,
but have given their services without
charge.
THE bank was established in 1887, and
Milton M. Holland was the first president
Some of the members of the present board
were members of the first board
Owing to the circumstances as above
outlined the amount now on deposit in the
bank is not large On the other hand, the
bank owns the building which Il occupies,
and other real estate, in addition to the
bank paper, which is good, so that alto
gether I think the assets will make good
showing"

Liability to Deafness.
From the Golden Penny.

FfOll Inc TOIuen Felhy.
A French surgeon says that men are more
subject to aural diseases than women, and
that out of every seven middle-aged per-
sons there are two who do not hear as well
with one ear as with the other. In every
thousand children under fifteen years of
age four show symptoms of some ear dis
eases and six marked deficiency in hear
ing power. The liability to disease in
creases from birth to the age of forty, and
then begins gradually to decrease Old
age advances. Out of the total number of
cases subjected to surgical treatment it is
estimated that about 80 per cent cured
and 80 per cent permanently relieved.

HERR KRUPP'S FAME.
Wealthiest Man in Germany and Ma
ker of Noted Gun.

1t has been said Of Herr Krupp. whose
funeral was held today. that in his death
the world loses one of its foremost figures.
Herr Krupp was made famous by the gun
which bears his name, and as being the
wealthiest man In Germany. He was re-
garded as a potent factor in Germany's
modern development, and to him, with Bis
marck and Won Moltke, is due that empires
military superiority.
Herr Krupp was not regarded as a hard
master by his workmen. He obtained va
rIous institutions a Essen for Their benefit
and built hundreds of model houses on sani-
tary principles for their use, charging for
them a moderate rental. Moderate esti-
mates of the fortune of the deceased place
1t at SIG, 100000, and his annual income
during his years of prosperity at $40. 0o3.G0o.
Herr Krupp made great sums by supplying
armor plate for Germanytss new navy. Be
sides his iron works and shipyards, he had
an interest in many financial enterprises,

Aided by Lincoln.

From the Detroit Free Press.
When Joseph Jefferson, the famous Amer
lean actor, was a boy he used to tramp
from town to town In the United States
as a member of his fathers travelling COM
pany. They once struck the town of
Springfield, Ill, at a time when a great re-
ligious revival was in full swing. In the
hope of preventing any play-acting at such
a period the town council demanded heavy
fee for permission. This was a serious
matter for the s,IioNers, who had to earn
their daily bread, and local lawyer took
up their case out of good will. SO per-
suasively did he plead that the fee was
not insisted on, and the performance took
place. The lawyer. whose wit and humor
served the players so we'll afterward be-
came President of his native country and
is known to fame as Abra ham Lincoln.

The schooner Fortune, laden with cargo
Of Potomac river. oysters for the local
market, while on her way up the river yes

wharf of the United States naval powder
magazine, between this city and Shepherds

pected her crew will succeed in floating her
at high water.
The naval magazine wharf, which does
not come within a hundred feet of the river
channel, always deceives strangers, 1t Is
said. They naturally conclude there Is
deep water in front of the wharf, and in
making their tacks they lay course for
the wharf and go aground. This has hap
pened several times in the last month or
two. 1t is commended buoy should be put
at this place to show the channel
The demand for fish at the 11th street
Wharf continues quite brisk, and they are
selling at high prices, even for the poorest
stock. Today salmon trout sold at lie. per
pound; green pike, to sc. per pound; Po-
tomac black bass, 10 to 15c. per pound;
North Carolina black bass, to 1Oc. per

There have been but few arrivals of oys-
ter-laden vessels at the wharf since yes
terday, and the demand has been good.
The stock is selling at prices ranging from
SOC. per buishel for the poorer stock up to
65c. per bushel for the better oysters. There
will be an ample supply on hand for the
Thanksgiving market, as a number of YES
sells are expected to arrive today.
The new seine boat in process of con-
struction by Cumberland & SJn for Capt
