The American Bankers ASSOCIATE


The American Bankers association
met in New Orleans, on the 18th inst.
The currency question was discussed
at length and the conclusion was
reached that the business interest of
country demanded flexible currency
although resolution committing the
association to the enactment Of a law
imparting greater degree Of elssti-
city to our currency system, making
it responsive to the demands of the
best interest of the country, was re-
ferred back to the executive council
by vote of 50 to 47 This measure
was one of the demands of the Ali-
ance, and received the ridicule and
condemnation of the money sharks up
north, some of wham are now the
warmest advocates Of an elastic cur
rency. Government ownership OF
railroads and other public utilities
was another Alliance demand which
was derided as being impracticable
and it's advocates denounced as fanat-
les. Today the demand for govern
ment ownership of public utilities
comes from every section of the gov
erpment and from every class and
condition of it's citizenship. The
theory of the sub-treasury scheme.
another of the Alliance demand
which was severly denounced by the
money lenders, was successfully dem
onstrated as being entirely practical
Bile and in perfect accord with sound
business principles in the financial
panic during Clevelapd's disastrous
administration in the use as currency
of what was known as "clearipg
house certificates" the only difference
being that the money lender and not
the sgriculturalist resped the benefit
From these incidents it will be oh
served that those measure advocated
by the farmers for the relief of ag-
riculture and to release the products
of the soil from the deadly grasp Of
unprincipled spectators and unscru-
pulous money lenders. II these
measures will enable the fnancier to
tide over his difficulties and strength
enthe financial interests of the country
in panicy times brought on by ab-
normal condition of the market
through wild and infsmed specula-
ton, they will certainly release agrl
culture from the octopuses that have
been feastipg upon and growing fat
on it's energies and it's life Blood. No
longer can "class legislation" be
raised against their advocacy, because
practicalexperience has demonstrated
their adaptability to meet the demands
and requirements Of all conditions
and classes of the business interests
of the country.

FUTURE OF CUBA.

HAVANA, August 2O.-La Discussion
publishes an article this afternoon on
the future of Cuba. The paper says
that In spite of the dark outlook, pri-
Vate enterprises are beginnink to show
tangible results. 1t says that Senior
Pelaya, well-known sugar planter Is
making additions of improved machi-
merry to his estates and expects to OBJ
tain 100000 sacks of sugar from his
next crop. Another planter is said to
have increased his sugar machinery and
to be hopeful of securing 10000 sacks of
sugar next season.
According to the article, Senior Mena
has likewise rebuilt his sugar estates,
bought new machinery, and hopes to
make 100000 sacks of sugar from his
next crop. 1t is pointed out by La
Discussion that statements like the fore
going do not bear out the assertion
that without the aid of loan of $4,-
100000 there will be no sugar crop next
year,

FAMOUS RUSSIAN BEGGAR.

Recently there died at Spasskaya, in
Russia, beggar who lived to the ex-
traordinary age of 14O years. The son
of a beggar adopted his fathers profess
sion in childhood, and a beggar he re-
manned all his life. Family name he
had none, and his explanation was that
when he was born only aristocrats had
family names, He wandered wherever
he pleased, forging the necessary pass
ports. He married five times and he
deserted his wives one after the other,
his temperament being such that he
found it impossible either to lead a do
nestle life or to remain long faithful TO
his marriage VOWS. During late years
he was asked how he managed to live
so many years, and his inva-
riable reply was; Il never needed food
nor drink and I never allowed anything
to worry me. Paris Messenger.

ANIMAL FOOD

1t is related of an Irish coachman

1t is likely that but few of those who
have in the last few days noticed a
peculiarly beautiful water lily in va
rious florists windows knew that it
was the sacred lotus, or knowing its
name, realized that it was the genuine
flower of Buddha, and that it is to be
found nowhere else in the United
States. The first plant sprang from a
seed planted by Mr.. Huff of Falls
Church in an artificial pond in his gar
den. He sent for the Egyptian seed
the flower of which is pink and the
bloom which came from the seed he
received is pure white. Still, it is a
genuine lotus from Asia, the same that
miraculousy filled all the ponds at the
birth of Gautama. Mr. Huff has car
ried a number of the blooms to his Of
flee in the Interior Department, and
they have attracted marked atten,.on
by reason of their unusual size and
beauty. Recently the Corean minister
went into the library of this depart
ment and was overwhelmed with as
constituent and pleasure at seeing a
number of these magnificent holy flow
ers in great vase The librarian hand
ed him one. He caressed it as one
might touch the face of a child and
begged permission to keep it beside him
during his visit. When he rose to go
the lady begged him to accept the BIOS
SON. He was deeply touched, and three
times he returned to thank her for the
gift of the priced flower, which he had
not seen since leaving his native land.
The great waXen blooms, not unune
a Mississippi magnolia, are often a
foot in diameter, and grow on stalks six
or eight feet long, that left them high
above the surface of the water in
the center is a curious and distinctive
seed pod. AS the petals drop away the
seed pod enlarges until it is the size OF
large saucer. When the seeds are
ripe they rattle gayly in the pod.
The leaves are odd, too. They are
never wet. Water poured in the hollow
of one runs about like quicksilver en-
glass, leaving not a trace. Nor is the
long stiff stalk like other stalks A
section of 1t looks like the muzzle of an
old-fashioned siX-shooter. Small tubes
run the entire length of the stalk,
doubtless causing it's strength and firm
ness.
Mr.. Huff did not until last year ex-
hibit any of these beautiful blooms in
the city. This summer he has already
taken off SS4 blossom from the plants
in the pond, which is about eighty feet
in diameter, and all of which have come
from the one seed. A number of flow
ers have been shipped to New York,
but they do not bear transportation
very well.
The Agricultural Department asked
Mr.. Huff for some seeds and now has a
pond OF lotus in its grounds. Whether
the plants are from these seeds or not
Mr.. Huff does not know, as many of
the blooms are pink. There was moth
Ing in Washington this summer more
beautiful than the lotus pond at the de-
partment. The glorious creamy or pink
blossoms lifted high in exulting ra-
dance are as magnificent as they are
rare. Gazing on their matchless
beauty one can easily believe the le-
gend of the Nelumbo bud, that floats
forever with Indian cupid down the
holy river" and realize that this peer
less flower was worthy to cradle a god

Dougherty, l. r. April 1.-This
morning at sunrise when the coal
chute men came down from their
work, they found the mangled body
of a boy about 12 years old, beside
the track. about one hundred feet
north of the depot here.
There was nothing whatever about
his person to identify him. In his
pockets were two business cards
one of II. r. Woltz G Co.'S shoe store
at Fort Worth; the other of the Hotel
Frantz. Enid, Ok. These two cards,
together with a two-bladed imitation
tortoise shell pocket knife and a fish
hook and line. were the only articles
in his pockets. He had gray eyes
brown hair and a high forehead. His
hair had the appearance Of being well
kept He wore lead colored cordu
roy pants, black cap, black coat and
vest. and a new shirt. He had taken
off his collar and tie and put them
inside of his vest. The tie was red
with black stripes running crossways
It is not known whether he was
trying TO jump off or attempting tC
board a train when he met his death
The body was cold when found this
morning. His left leg was cut almost
entirely off and one of his arms ant
his head terribly crushed.
The body is now at the depot here
and will probably be buried by the
Santa Fe company.
