Olympia, April l4.-One of the defect
i've laws on the state statute books is that
requiring all banking institutions in the
state other than national banks to report
to the state auditor every year before the
first Monday in June complete state
ment of their financial affairs. While
the law defines clearly the manner OF
making and character of these reports it
fails to attach penalty, and as result
but thirty-two of the state banks last
year furnished the auditor with an an
nual report. There are 81 state banks, of
which Is have been organized since last
June, so that A have failed to make any
report. State Auditor John d. Atkinson
ia of the opinion that the law should be
amended at the next legislature, fixing a
penalty of at least 500 per day for fail
ure to report at the time specified in the
law. The state has no bank examiner,
unless the state auditor can be consid-
cred such, and the law provides him with
no power to regulate banks other than to
secure the reports of the institutions.

TALMAGE IS DEAD
Noted Divine Passes Away After
an Illness Contracted
in Mexico.

Washington. April 13.-Dr. Talmage
died at O'Clock last evening. The last
flutter of breath in the life of DR.. Tai
mage was discerned just after 8 o'clock.
The end was a most peaceful one, the
dying clergyman sinking slowly into his
last rest. For the last forty-eight hours
he had been unconscious in his sick
room, unable to rouse himself from the
final lethargy. The physicians at his
bedside made attempt after attempt to
bring signs of life to his face, applying
stimulants, but without success.
DR.. Talmage was taken Ill in Mexico
six weeks ago while on trip there. His
complaint aroused no anxiety at the time
and he himself was inclined to make
light of it. Because of his age, however,
the malady developed more rapidly than
either he or any one else with him upon
the Mexican trip could have thought
possible. Upon consultation with Amer
lean physicians by telegraph Dr.. Talmage
was advised to return to his home imme-
diately, and when he returned he became
at first slowly. then rapidly, weaker, and
all hopes for his recovery we're given up.
Cerebral Inflammation was announced
Wednesday, and it was beloved he would
live but few hours.
The funeral will take place at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon from the Church OF
the Covenant The services will be very
simple. There will be no funeral sermon,
but short addresses concerning the life
and works of DR.. Talmage will be made.
At 8 o'clock Wednesday morning the
interment will take place in the family
lot at Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn.

PRESIDENT TALKS.
,oosEyELT DISCUSSES MANY
NATIONAL ISSUES
s..cb at Charleston Wherein he Tackles
Problems of Expansion As Well As Those
of Labor-Presents the Much-Discussed
Sword to Micah Jenkins-Exposition Sees
an Enormous Throns Of Cheering Visitors.

Charleston, S. o., April lO.-One hum
dred thousand citizens of the South
Yesterday took part in the celebration of
Presidents day at the South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian exposition.
The enthusiasm of the demonstration
was worthy of the great state of South
Carolina and the president of the repIb-
lie. President Roosevelt was profoundly
impressed with the magnitude of the
greeting and made no effort to conceal
Sis pleasure. Throughout the day the
nresident, his cabinet and the other dis
tinpuished members of his party received
a continual ovation.
Owing to the long program arranged
for the day the formal exercises were
hrief. Addresses of welcome were deliv-
cred on behalf of the city of Charleston
nv Mayor Smyth and for the exposition
company by President Wagner.
Presidents Speech.
In his response the president began
by saying he claimed South Carolina as
his state by inheritance, because his
mothers people lived there in colonial
DAYS. He touched at length on the re-.
union of the states, and paid a glowing
tribute to the loyalty of the South and
the worth of its fighting men, paying
particular attention to the Confederate
veterans and sons of veterans who fought
with distinction in the war with Spain.
The speaker pointed to the selection of
Luke Wright, an ex-Confederate general,
to the vice-governorship of the Philip
pines as an evidence of the great esteem
in which men of the South were held.
Coming down to national issues, the
president said: "The events of the last
four years have shown us that the West
Indies and Isthmus must in future Oc-
cupy far larger place in our national
policy than in the past. This has been
proved by the negotiations for the pur-
chase of the Danish Islands and the &C.
QUESTION of Porto Rico, preparations for
building the Isthmian canal, and the
changed relations between the United
States and Cuba" The president then
urged that we deal with Cuba as we have
already dealt with her, in q spirit of
generosity.
Regarding Corporations.
Mr.. Roosevelt, continuing, said: "This
is an era of great combinations, both of
labor of capital. In many ways these
combinations have worked for good, but
they must work under the law, and all
laws concerning them must be just and
wise, or they will inevitably do evil.
This applies as much to the richest cor
porations as to the most powerful labor
union.
Following these formalities came the
presentation of a handsome sword to
Maj. Micah Jenkins by the president,
on behalf of the people OF South Carolina.
After these ceremonies the president
and his party we're escorted to the
woman's building, where they were en-
tertained at luncheon by the woman's
department of the exposition, and the
presidential party then departed for
Summerville, where they were enter
tanned at dinner at the Pine Forest inn
by Capt. Wagner.

Information For Young Mothers on
Bathing the Baby.

The giving of the baby's bath at
the saline time every morning has
much to do with regularity of sleep.
Nothing should be allowed to inter
fere with it, and great care should
be taken in guarding the little ones
from drafts and colds. Have the wa
Ter heated to so degrees and dis
solve little borax in it. Dip soft
piece of old linen in it, wash the
tongue, gums and roof of the mouth
with it. Next wash the head, after
which he may be placed in the tub.
and bathed all over. The task may
be completed in FIVE minutes. Very
little soap is needed for baby, and
that should be the best that can be
obtained. Take him out on a bath
towel and dry him quickly and gen
tly. The bath and rubbing will
make the skin glow and send the
warm blood coursing to the extremi-
ties. Then, if the child is weak,
sponge the body with alcohol, allow
ing it to dry on the skin. Dust the
parts that seem in danger of chatting
with powder composed of ten
parts of talcum powder and one
part of boracic acid. This is one
of the best infant powders known
and if prepared at home is not ex-
pensive. 1t is more convenient to
use if put in box having a pcrfor-
ated top, SO it can be busted out.
Baby should be loosely and warm
ly clad. Flannel on the whole body
is great preventive of ailments of
the digestive organs, but it should
be soft and fine, so it will not irri-
tate the tender flesh. First there
should be a knit wooden band, ribbed
at the top and bottom, a shirt with
long sleeves, a flannel skirt at
tached to sleeveless waist and
dress made in Mother Hubbard or
princess style. Place the skirt in
side the dress, so both can be put on
together.-American Cultivator.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Portable lrorins Cases That Many
VIII Find Convenient.

T +
Ironing in It's best estate could
never be said to have about it any
of the flavor of the interesting and
novel, and yet a woman has invent
ed for her own use quaint and in
genious method of conducting that
homely household rite that sets it
upon pedestal for the time being.
She has arranged what she calls
a portable ironing case, and it is so
simple and useful that it ought to
be widely disseminated for the use
of those who must fit from room to
room in the moving season or who
own hall bedroom and gas jet.
And how many women and girls
know perfectly well that unless they
can have the use of an iron occa-
sionally their laundry bills will run
up into terrifying amount.
With the ironing case all is made
easy. The first thing necessary in
the care of the person is a neat and
orderly arrangement of the stocks
and cuffs and handkerchiefs. Rib
bons, if they could have bit of a
pressing between fannels, would re-
new their youth, and stockings and
doilies come in for their share of
the same need.
Most boarding places distinctly
say, NO ironing and washing al
lowed" This is TO stem the tide of
young women who would rush into
the kitchens of busy houses or would
monopolize the bathroom. With a
set bowl or ordinary basin the tiny
wash can be wrung out and dried,
but the ironing has always been the
problem.
To make case purchase first of
all a little sadiron, and you will find
it the jolliest sort of company. 1t is
the king pin of the whole box and is
just two inches long in the keel, so
to speak.
1t is inexpensive and has remov-
able handle and is exactly like the
grown up iron, only very small,
The second requisite is a stick of
wax of any of the best known
grades. The third requisite is a
small board such as any ten cent
store keeps for bread cutting, and
the last is square of sandpaper.
These with a small travellers heat
ing lamp complete the outfit. The
whole may be placed in a small
wooden starch box and packed in
the trunk along with the other need
fuls for the toilet.

New Use For chamois Skins.

A new way to use chamois skin
has come to light, and doilies in the
natural vivid yellow or the gray and
red shades which are to be found
among art furnishings decorate the
polished top of the luncheon table.
OF course these leather mats are
decorated, and opportunity is thus
offered for the amateur to do some
effective work, although no partic-
ular amount of skill is required.
Roses, chrysanthemums and mas
turtiums make excellent subjects
when due regard is paid to the color
effect.

EnqIIsb Tea Cakes.

When visiting in the home of an
Englishwoman, / had for tea some
of the most delicious tea cakes /
have ever tasted, writes CORE
spondent for the Woman's Home
Companion. She called them Eng
lish currant cakes. The recipe is as
follows: Three cupfuls of flour, g
pinch of salt, two heaping teaspoon
fuls of baking powder, one-half cup
full of butter, one and half eupfuls
of currants, two tablespoonfuls of
finely chopped candied orange peel
and milk enough to make a soft
dough. Mix all dry ingredients to-
gether, soften butter. and dripping
and rub well into flour; add milk
enough to make soft dough and roll
out on Toured board till about one
half inch thick; cut in rounds the
size of tea plate, put in a creased
tin and bake till light brown. When
done, cut in two and spread thickly
with butter. Serve hot. These
cakes will keep good and can be
warmed in the oven when wanted.

! Prlze Money ecIna A.beaalna.

There is about $4,000 in the
United States treasury as prize and
bounty money for sailors who took
part in the Manila and Santiago
battles: Every penny of prize and
bounty money that the courts de-
cided was due to officers oftthe fleets
of Dewey and Sampson has been
distributed. In speaking of this
matter Auditor Brown of the navy
said it is undoubtedly due to the
fact that the sailors do not know
that the money is ready for them.
Many of the tars in the two. naval
engagements were of foreign birth
and knew nothing of the system Of
dividing prize money and bounties.
They have since been transferred to
other ships. Some have died and
others have gone out of the service
and into other trades.
