his own conception. He has conveyed real and
personal property to the value Of S4.0Oo,Hh
TO a corporation the purpose of which is 10
be the relief of worthy men and women
who, Notwithstanding their willingness to sup
port themselves have become partly wholly
unable to do by reason of sickness mis-
fortune, or who have been discharged from hos
pitalS before reganng sufficient strength TO re-
sumo their regular employments. This corpora
tion is called the Wnifred Masterson Burke Re

Burke during his lifetime, after which the whole

The terms Of the gift have been so drawn as
to secure the following results. Of the first i'm
portance in the mind Of the founder: First that
relief shall be extended to self-respecting per-
sons who have been able rule to maintain
themselves and to give such aid without the
disadvantage of delay; and, second. that the re
lief shall be temporary only. In other words.
the foundation does not provide for an asylum
or a body OF pensioners. In giving power to the
trustees therefore, to make notifications in the
plan. the founder provides that the fund shall
be used in such way as not to increase, but
to prevent, the growth of poverty; the chief
purpose of the founder being to help those who
give or have given evidence of being willing 10
help themselves"
The trust deed specifies the direction Of the
benefaction in the following terms
"The benefits of the foundation shall be re-
served for intelligent and respectable men ana
women who, in consequence Of sickness. or dis

gained strength sufficient to earn their lvl-
hood or in consequence Of other misfortune,

The steady progress of the King is fully main

with keen enjoyment. He is allowed light
cigar day. He evinced the greatest interest
in the arrangements for to-day's review of the
colonial troops, and he eager that his peo-
pie" should be in some way compensated for
their disappointment because of the postpone
ment of the coronation. The King received
Queen AIexandra's report of the review with
much pleasure, and he immensely pleased
later in the day when the sounds of cheers from
the Indian troops, given for the Queen as they
marched past the palace, penetrated the sick
room.
The Kings grandchildren allowed a brief
daily visit to his bedside. while scarcely less
welcome and even more enthusiastic visitor to
his majesty is his pet Irish terrier Jack, which
is allowed in the Kings room short time every
afternoon.

"A wholly unauthorized and unfounded
report appears 20 have been sent from
Washington yesterday, calculated to
mislcad, with reference TO the action ia

The national banking act lays down
the rule that all associations shall main

the Currency may notify any association,
to make good such reserve. failing to do
which within 80 days, the Comptroller
may. with the concurrence Of the Secrc-

"The Law therefore laws down the rule
that the reserve shall be maintained, but
lodges a discretion with the Comptroller

are therefore notified that the rule Will
not be enforced as far as it relates to

SNYDER Sentenced 10 Five
Years for Bribery.

Surprised at the Verdict.
(By the Associated Prcss.)

st. Louis. Mo, Oct. 4.-Robcrt Mcclure
criminal court tonight and was son
fenced to five years Imprisonment in
the State pcnitcntiary, after the jury had
considered for fifty minutes its verdict
en- the case, and after q trial, which had
occupied an entire week. The decision
was reached after almost four hours OF
argument by the attorneys for the de
tense and the State.
No bondsmcn were present when
Snydcr's conviction was announced. the
defense apparently having been confident
that it's testimony concerning Snydcr's
residence in Kansas city would convince
the jury that he was entitled to the
benefits of the statute of Limitation as a
shield for his crime.
The Incarceration of the convicted man
seemed to be imminent when two of his
attorneys, Judge Henry S. Priest and
Morton Jourdan, signed his appeal bona
for $25, 900, securing his release until the
term of court commencing Monday.
Early in this term Snyder will be SEN
fenced and motions for appeal and a new
lTldl IlleQ.
The close of the trial was marked by
incidents of absorbing interest.
During the final pleading Of the case
the court room overlooked with specta-
tors.
During the speeches of Judge Priest
for the defence and Circuit Attorney
Folk for the State, the utmost stiffness
prevailed. Especially did all reference 10
the crime Of bribery hold the interest Of
the defendant. The crowd grew grcatcr
and this morning pools were formed by
speculative persons in the four courts
corridors. The most favorable predlc.
lions made in Snydcr's behalf was a hung
Jury.
In the Whirl of the current Of intense
interest which reyolvcd around him Sny-
der sat apparently immobile.
When the verdict was read hardly al
;nstant's change in his expression could
be notcl.
