The WEEKLY
PANORAMA
ONLY TEN CENTS IN CASH.

lnSlnltesirnal Credit In Days eus''
ness Amounting to $1,323.6s4.
The Chatham National Bank OF New
York a few days ago furnished
striking example of how small an
amount of actual cash is needed TO
transact settlements between banks
through the clearing house. The bank
in question had credit balance OF
10 cents. The clearances that the
bank settled that day amounted to
$1,323, 1894, and there was only 10 cents
in actual cash transferred, the small
est credit balance, SO 1t is said. that
any New York hank has had in the
clearing house since 1873. On this
basis the cash transaction, in compar1'
son with the volume of the bank
clearances, amounted to the surprts.
ing figures of .OOO.OOOO75 per cent. OF
course, such figures are exceptional,
but they conclusively prove the very
small amount of cash that is actually
transferred in bank clearances owing
to the clearing house system, which
results in an enormous saving both IN
time and money.

Rude Awakening for Fisherman.

George Chaffee of Lyndonville was
fishing in the lake this week. He was
anchored a short distance from shore
when his sport was disturbed by an
angry steer charging down toward
him at fearful rate, jumping into
the water and swimming directly
toward him. Chaffee did not have
time to raise his ancnor or to get
away from the enraged creature, so
he yelled at the top OF his voice and
beat off the attacks with his fish pole,
finally heading the steer toward shore.
The animal climbed up the bank and
dropped down as If dead. 1t appears
that the steer, which belonged to
Dewey Denyor, was pasturing about
a mile away, became crazed and
charged through the barn, across the
fields and over fences, not stopping
until he was out in the lake some dis
lance. After awhile the beast re
turned home. apparently nothing the
matter with it.-Rochester Union anC
Advertiser.

Compulsory House Service.

Probably compulsory domestic ser
vice will have to be resorted to some
day. That will not only help to solve
a difficult problem, but it will also
lift the social stigma off the kitchen
industry by main force. Compulsory
military service for men is common
enough. and even Australia will al
most certainly find it necessary some
day. Compulsory domestic service for
women-say from the age of 10 to FL
is no greater a hardship. There is
the same reason for compulsion in
both cases-a great national demand
and an insufficient supply.

tobacco merchant, all such stories are

in the world can be purchased TOT

Romance in the Love OF spencer
EDDY and Elizabeth de Marenbur0.
A dainty, romantic love story, sad IN
its hopelessness, thrilling in us situa-
tons and action, and, above all, great
in it's reality, hides away behind the
report that the Gear of all the Russias
is about to request the Sublime forte
to secure the removal OF spencer
Eddy. the first secretary of the Ameri-
can Embassy at Constantinople, from
the field of European diplomacy.
It is the story of the love OF Spen-
Ger Eddy for no less parsonage tnah
the cousin of the Gear himsei-the
Russian princess, Countess Ellzapetn
de- Marenburg. sister-in-law OF the
Grand Duke Michael the son OF the
Grand Duke Nicholas.
His is the story OF love that trl-
umphed over almost insurmountaoie
obstacles from the first time he met
the young woman until he passed
them all but the Car himself.
In London the pair first became &C
uuainted, and here the Grand Duke,
who had heard of their mutual adm1-
ration. interposed and the young
Countess was hurried away TO NICE
Undaunted. Eddy followed and Win
in a few days of his arrival rescued
his sweetheart from runaway auto
mobile. So assiduously did he press

but surely it spread over the Whole
skv. and the voice of the Great Whlte
Car was heard manifesting his dis
pleasure at the union of his kins-
woman with an American.
For a time his protests were dls-
regarded and the man whose voice
rules one hundred and fifty million
people stood powerless before the two
lovers.
Now out of the silence which sur
rounds him the Car has issued ms
final mandate, which he intends shall
break off the engagement.
Spencer Eddy must leave Europe.
This is the substance and meaning
of the request that he has made OF
the Sublime Porte to remove Eddy
from diplomatic service.
/ Has the final chapter of the asplra
ton of the American citizen for the
hand of the Russian Countess beer
written, or will the Sublime Porte dis
regard the wishes of the ruler of the
