LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The condition of affairs in Wall street
has no effect locally except so far as the
feeling of uncertainty as to the future has
an influence. There is no doubt that a GER
tain conservatism in making loans prevails
to an extent that may be attributed to the
depressed tone of the New York stock mar
ket. AS this is the season when the volume
of business is smaller than at any other
period Of the year, the demand for money
is correspondingly less.
1t is pointed out that the real meaning
of the fall in prices in the New York mar
ket is the Tightening up on the line of
credits. thus forcing some who have been
carrying securities to realize on them. In
support OF the view that the general busi-
ness conditions are good the figures of the
earnings of the railroads are referred to- as
they show an increase Of IA per cent for
July. as compared with the corresponding
period of last year.
Another indication pointing to the same
conclusion is the increase which the bank
statement of Saturday shows in the sur
plus reserve. which amounts to more than
$5,6OO.OOO for the past week as COMPARED
with the corresponding week of last year
1t is thought that this condition of a large
amount of money on the part of the banks
makes 1t probabl that the Stringency of
last year, due to crop moving requirements,
will not be repeated in the money market
this fall.

The Servian Revolutionists.
n the Fortnightly Review.

From the Fortnlghtiy review.
The late revolution was not the hand1-
work Of Servia. 1t was engineered by the
low cunning Of a handful Of discredited
ruffians. Examine the list of the conspira-
tors and provisional ministry; not single
name Is associated with honorable
career or any deed Of distinction. Jail
birds. bankrupts. needy lawyers and gutter
journalists are the new rulers of Servia,
maintained in parlous authority by a gang
Of drunken young officers, half maddened
by their taste of blood. We are not to be-
lieve that the nation, or even the army.
participated in the recent crime. The ma
ton knew nothing of it until the whole
tragedy was over. Then a reign of terror
set in. and the unarmed populace was i'm
potent to protest; even the decencieS of
mourning were forcibly prohibited. and
orders were carried out enforcing signs of
hollow JOY. In every town and village the
projects and their subordinates were conf
PEELED to do the work Of the regicides and
coerce opinion. 1t Is impossible not to mar
vel over the diabolical Graf t which has
ordered the after effects of the holocaust
No man in Servia could call his soul or his
thoughts his own. The faintest show Of
disapproval would have meant instant
death. Later on. no doubt. We shall learn
the full tale of the victims. At present
know only that at least twenty private citi-
zens were put to death in Belgrade in the
first few days Of revolutionary rule.

BRIGHAM YOUNG.
When He Was Carpenter at Port
Byron in 1880.

byron III 1ooO.
From the Rochester Post Express
About the year 1890 Brigham Young and
family settled IMPORT Byron 1t was then
known as Buckstille, and boasted of 100
Inhabitants, There was no canal or rail-
road in those days, and the settlers had to
hew down trees In order to make a clear
ing in which, to build a house. During the
first few years of Young's stay he made
his home with Squire Pine, who+lived on
the corner Of Pima and South streets The
Pine house' ts about 100 years old. 1t is
now owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
James D. Dixon,
Brigham Young was a carpenter and old
residents of Port Byron say that he was
an expert at,his trade, but work was scarce
and he was always hard up. 1t was long
time before he saved money enough to buy
lumber to build his own house. It was his
intention to build himself fine house, but
1t turned out to. be very ordinary frame
structure 1t was built soon after the Erie
canal was put through, and was located
near the heel path side of the canal. The
Young house has long since been moved
part of the original structure now stands
back of the Newkirk livery stables and is
unoccupied.
Bringham Youngs family comprised his
wife and one SON.. Brigham. jr., who died
recently at Salt Lake City. Young at that
tllne was a Ilrm DeleFer IN MOrmOn1SIn. he
left Port Byron or Bucksville, in 1850 and
went to Seneca Falls. From there he went
to Utah and subsequently, became famous
as the leader of the Mormons. In after
years. when he was famous. one of his
old acquaintances wrote to him and asked
him If he was the Brigham Young of Port
Byron, and fl he were could he pay Squire
Pine for a large board bill. Squire Pine
was then old man and in poor cfrcum-
stances In a short time Squire Pine re-
ceived a letter from Young, and inclosed
was the money in full for his board with
interest. Young was then a rich man and
said he was very glad to pay up his old

Teach Soldiers to Swim.
From the Chicago Tribune.


Every German soldier, whether Infantry
man, cavalryman, gunner or engineer, must
learn how to swim. Such knowledge is con-
sidered practical a part of soldiers
education as the ability to scale wall.
The empire owns many natatoriums equip
ped and used for the sole purpose of teach
ing Its recruits how to swim. completely
accoutered with clothing, rifle and ammuni
ton.
The emperor does well in making his SOL
diers swim. In time Of war that ability
might save regiment, even a whole
brigade, hours of time on forced march
Our War Department ought to take leaf
out of Germanys book, which on military
matters is pretty complete and up to date,
and teach American soldiers how to swim.
And. by the same token, the states should
see to it that swimming is part of the cur
riculum of its militiamen. For the knowl-
edge Of 1t would be necessary only in times
of war. and in times Of war the state regi-
ments as well as the regulars will be in the
field.

ART SCHOOLS.
Academies as a Rule Do Not Produce
Great Painters.

Academies as a Rule Do MOI 1Ioouce
Great Painters.
From the New York Evening Post.
1t has frequently been noted that art
declines somewhat In the ratio of conscious
effort to further it. The great periods
knew only masters and disciples; the times
of decadence abound In academies and per
manent schools. At present the fact may
easily be verified by any one who will visit
successfully the Royal Academy at Lon
don, the Paris Salon and the current ex
hibitions at Amsterdam and The Hague
London and Paris have elaborate systems
for producing painters Before those who
study at the academy schools the Ecole
des Beaux Arts lie all manner of official
honors and material rewards. The acad-
emicians of either country enjoy ira
ditional prestige and a corresponding social
position. Holland, on the contrary, does
next to nothing for her painters. They
study in small bands of disciples about
the older masters they wander through
the schools of France and GerInany-in
short. like Topsy. they just grow. without
the fostering care of academies and minis
tries of fine arts.
Comparing the painting of Holland with
the academic production of France and
England, Is struck with the sobrlety
and excellence of the Dutch school There
is, first of all, genuine continuation OF the
tradition of the seventeenth century Wmch
rests not upon organized authority, but
upon the temperament of individual artists.
The level of craftsmanship is higher than
will be found elsewhere There is a re-
freshing absence of Incompetence and ec-
centricity These painters know their sub
jects-chiefiy the landscape and peasant Life
of their own country-and know how to
make paint assume the look of light, air
and life Yet there is nothing backward
about the school. 1t has freely profited by
all the recent Innovations impressionistic or
otherwise, without yielding to the eccen-
tricfties in vogue Everywhere one notes
good Judgment and sound accomplishment
that Is. precisely the qualities which acad-
emies are founded to promote.

B. AND O.'S GREAT PROJECT.
Proposed to Have a Four-Track Road
to Chicago

That 4 four track system connecting Chi
cago with Washington and Baltimore is
possibility of the near future, and that the
Baltimore and Ohio is the line that aspires
to that end has been learned lately. The
work will require several years to complete
and VIII be carried as rapidly as the
finances Of the company warrant. but that
it is to be done there is not the least doubt.
The Pennsylvania has for some time in
tended 10 remodel its lines on the four
track plan. and prepara tions making
now to that end The Baltimore and
Ohio wishes to rival its mighty competitor.
and the aunuuncrrnCut of the four tracks
- the first result of this ambition.
1t is said that not more than five years
Will elapse before this project is com
pleted and II may be that an even briefer
length OF time Will be necessary for the
work. 1t Is question of appropriations,
and If these can be obtained rapidly as
the right of way is ready for the work
men the time for the completion of the
task will be but TWO years.

Faded Away In Music.
From the London Telegraph

from the lOnuOn leieSrdpn
LET US die as we have lived-in music"
cried the agonizing Swedish poet Bellmann
to the friends. who. though charmed with
his singing, besolght him to cease his
heroic exertions and spare his ebbing life.
A similar love for her art and an equal in
difference to mere material existence seem
to have characterized the well-known opera
singer, Nine. Irma Golz, who passed away
from the scene of her short-lived triumphs
in Vienna a few days ago. Her life began
as a poem and ended tragedy. She
had worked for years with almost superhu-
man effort, surmounttng obstacles, remov
ing hndranees and drawing ever nearer to
the goal of her ambition AT last success
smiled upon her, she had become q diva,
her singing was applauded, her acting COM
manded the warm approval Of an apprecia-
tive public. And then suddenly, before the
morning Of her triumph had broadened into
the foundation of her hopes, and drove her
from the stage. For time she had hoped
against ominous signs. and nnerring symp
toms of the nearing end. but time went
on, feeling that all would soon be over
she resolved like the poet Bellmann, to die
as she had lived in music
Weak and helpless though she was. she
had herself attired in the costume Of Travi-
ata The sick chamber Illuminated
with a blaze Of wax candles. Then she
bade her brothers sit down at the piano
and play Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" At
sound of the soul-inSpiring strains which
now f1oated through the apartment in the
dead of night. the yeeal spark was kindled
once more Ysithin her before going out In
the great dafkness Of death The lady rose
from her armchair, and with a voice weak
at first but gaining in volume as she went
on. she sang the words. 1.-The voices of
Spring are n9W aWaking." Her relations and
friends were narrowed at the spectral ap-
pearance Of the lady. and at the once rich
voice now dJinglaway in hollow murmurs
All at once she, slid lfeless to the floor:
the doctors raised her. felt her pulse, and
shook their heads. The diva's swan song
was at ar iend; she had faded away in
music
