On one occasion Bishop Potter was q
guest at the Storm King Club, says the
New York Times. After a comfortable
dinner he sent a telegram to one of the
officials of the New York Central rail-
road asking him to stop the night ex-
press at Storm king station, on the op-
posite side of the river.
He drove down the mountain and
hired a boatman to row him across.
Arriving in good time, he and the boat-
man waited in the rowboat until the
approaching train warned them to seek
the station, only to see the train arrive,
rush by, and disappear into the dark
ness.
The Bishop was irritated.
Well" he said, 81 am a bishop OF
the Episcopal church, n I suppose
my calling will not allow me to say
anything"
We'll" replied the boatman," Il am a
Methodist and my principles will not
let me say anything"

moon was shining and TO eat any and

Observer and a long string Of papers.
who upsets this idea completely.
\ few gentlemen were sitting in front
OF Kings cigar store yesterday after
noon talking about dogs in general
when Mr.. Joyner up and said

day my children went out and came
back with a lot of flowers. among them

the dog had been neglected at Inner,

money they do not know what to do
with IL, and that therefore a panic is an
absolute impossibility.
Let me give o sone facts without
comment You go u to the farmers
and ask them how they are getting on.
They will tell you that they were never
before so prosperous. They are out of
debt and hav plenty Of money. Ask
them where their money is, and they
viii tell you 1t is in the local banks.
Call at the country banks and inquire
into their condition, and their officers
viii tell you they are all right. Money
plentiful and reserves above 40 per cent.
Where is your money!" "Oh, it is in
the banks Of Ohaha, Minneapolis, Kan
sas City, etc"
Next you go to the bankers in
Omaha, Kansas City and Minneapolis.
and they will tell you the same thing.
They are in good shape; reserves % per
cent. Where is your money!" In
Chicago" Now go to Chicago. Same
story. Banks all right Reserves 30
per But the money is in New
York.
Finally, pursuing our inquiries in
New York, you will find that both de-
posts and loans have been enormous.
The money is no in the banks. There
are only six National banks in New
York that have not been below their
legal , NCo CllNc 1Ilhd LodI
want to know where this none is?
Well $3.50, 000, 900 is oaned by National
banks on the ponds Of industrial corpor-
atoms. These corporations issued bonds
instead of stocks, because the National
banks car take the former and can't
take the latter. Intrinsically they are
no better than stocks. In most of them
there has been a lot of water curing.
Here you see where $3.50, 900, 600 of the
country's surplus stands against a lot
of undigested, promotion produced Sc
curities. The trust companies have put
out millions more in the same way
That is where we stand. 1t is all
right as long as it is all right. But i
don't want to see anything happen.I
don't want to see these industrials be-
gin to topple over, to fall against one
another and come down in a heap like
children's p~layblocks. And this is one
reason why 1 am opposed TO a tariff re-
vision agitation that might start things
going the wrong way"

RUSSELL SAGE ON TRUSTS.

Russell Sage the other day gave the
public his opinion of trusts. He said
they were a menace to tru govern
ment'' and 'oppressors of the people,
Still. he thought they should be fos-'
tered in their infancy and when they
become strong enough to stand alone,
the they should be disrupted" and
but he did not say who was to be the
judge as to when they were strong
enough to stand without government
support or how they were to be dis
rupted. While admitting that trusts
were "precipitating a popular revolu-
tion." still he advocates permitting
them to be formed and receive the
fostering care Of the government until
they become strong and powerful fac
tors in the conduct of the INDUSTRIES
and financial affairs of the country.
These trusts are the Outgrowth of the
protective policy of the government.
The government feeds them and they
have already grown so strong that NJ
power can break their hold on the pub
lie treasury and the purse strings of
the people. 1t is all foolishness to talk
about fostering them until they have
reached certain strength and then de-
stroying them. The only safe way to
prevent their formulation; to repeal
the law upon which they are built.
Trusts are the curse of this country
whether strong enough to stand alone
or in their earliest infancy. These|
trusts grow mighty fast: in fact, they
are all powerful the moment they GOMEZ
into existence, and if they are to bel
disrupted" as soon as they become tool
strong the disruption should be con-
temporaneous with the formation.

Hon. Gilbert B.. Patterson, of Robe

prominent leader in the democratic

that the leadership is in feeble hands,
or that the successor to Mr.. Bethany

for a weighty responsibility, and his
force as a party fighter.
From 1896, when Robson county.
along with the rest of the state, stood
aghast at combined fusion and repuo-

Greensboro, ". c., August %.
The ease for criminal assault against
Victor Barnes was taken up today and
the solicitor announced that although
it was a horrible affair, the child was
too young to make it possible for the
ofense to be one for which the young
white man could be executed and he
would try him on the second count for

as he did at the j. p trial. Judge Nc
Neill appointed Colonel John ". Staples
n Judge w. y. Bynum to conduct his
defence. They retired with the prison
er and after al hours consultation with
him, asked the court TO excuse
them from appearing further in the
case; the prisoner on the plea that he
could prove a complete alibi by his
mother and two sisters, was given a
continuance, and he viii stay in Jail

1t is understood the counsel assigned

fused TO do so. He may yet be tried
for his life.

The Southern railway must have re-
versed the policy which is said to have
guided it for so many years in refusing
to settle law suits for damages after
a case is brought until it has run the
whole gamut of litigation. Yesterday
eleven suits brought by Colonel John a.
B~arringer alone in Guilford county were
compromised. Yesterday Chic Law
Agent Dooley and general counsel for
the Southern, Henderson, arrived from
washington and were in conference
all day with MeSsrs. King & Kimball
local division counsel on these cases in
I conjunction with Colonel Barringer.
The result was hat at the last no
ment, when boarding their special car
at he depot last night, Colonel Hender-I
son gave the ultimatum compromise
terms on the Southern Railway Compa-
ny and this offer Colonel Barringer ac-
cepted. The gross amount agreed to be-
paid, to the best of my information, is
81, 900 and the costs in each case. An es-
innate of the amount of damages claim
ed in the eleven cases shows that they
reached nearly $75, 900, and the basis
of compromise would seem to have been
ten per cent of the gross amount, pro-
rated according to merits or extent of
damages claimed in each case, with
costs of course added. The lawyers are
mum on the subject.

HEART RENDING TRAGEDY.
Five Children Drowned Before TheiI
Mother's Eyes.

London, August pa narrowing
holiday tragedy occurred today at
Filey, 4 watering place near Scar
borough. Five children, who were play
ing on the sands. were cut off by the in
flowing tide and drowned before their
mothers who were sitting on the beach,
had noticed the danger which threat
ened them. The shore at the scene of
the tragedy was deserted and no boats
were available The mothers of the
children and others made heroic at
tempts at a rescue. The oldest child
made a futile attempt to saw the
youngest one by holding il up in his
arms. Those who attempted to rescue
the children had narrow escapes from
drowning.
