His plan was to get gallon jug and
put a lot Of beans into it. No one else
should know how many Everybody
should pay so cents to guess, and when
the guessing closed the one who came

half dollar back and the rest Of the
money should go for a bell Two or
three Of the deacons hung OF q little.
thinking the plan looked like a lottery,
but after a day or two the thing was
a go. Indeed Deacon Speoner. who was
always considered a lucky man. planked
down s. and recorded four guesses. and
the ball was started rolling Inside Of
four days every man in Jericho had
paid for at least one guess. and inside
OF a week most OF the farmers for five
miles around had caught the spirit The
peddler had charge of the money as
wen as the beans and every evening
there was a gathering at the Dostof7ce
TO talk the thing over.

IN THE NATIONAL BANKS
November Statements Show an In
crease in Stock, Circulation, De-
posits and Surplus Money.

IN several respects the national banks
of the United States exhibit better con-
ditions in their statements made to the
Comptroller Of the Currency under date
or November IT than in the statements
made in response to the last preceding
call. September 8. The consolidated
statement of the national banks has
been made up in the Office of Comp
trcllcr Ridgely.
The report shows that since Septen-
Der the number of national banks has
Increased from SOP to lis: the capital
stock from S75S. ~. 65s TO SIS, S15, 10; the
national bank notes outstanding from

Future Queen Determined.

England's future Queen has always
been noted for her common sense and
for her strength of mind. and in connec-
ton Herewith it is interesting to note
the determined stand which she has
taken In the matter Of bazaars and
fairs She absolutely refuses to open
any Of these, no matter how worthy the
object in behalf of which they happeu
10 be organized. taking the ground that
IL Is nothing more nor less than an i'm
position upon royalty. which is expected
not merely 10 give much time and trOu-
bic TO the enterprise. but also 10 buy
extensively for the purpose Of setting
an example to less exalted mOrtaIs. the
fact being that If royalty does not set
the pace in this respect the fair or ba-
zaar Is apt to prove a financial failure

NO CURE IS KNOWN
FOR HYDROPHOBIA
The Pasteur Treatment Declared to Be
Merely Preventive and Not
Curative.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 11--Dr. Z. NJ.
Ravenal. OF the veterinary department
of the University of Pennsylvania. dur
ing a discussion on hydrophObia at
recent meeting OF the County Medical
Society. said that the Pasteur treat
ment was only a preventive of the dis
ease. and not a cure. Treatment. to be
effective. he declared must be applied
Immediately after the victim has been
bitten He further declared that aside
from his experience with afflicted hui
mans. he had proved beyond doubt. In
more than $50 cases among animals. that
hydrophobia has a distinct existence as
a disease. despite the fact that many
learned physicians insist that there is
no such ailment.
DR.. PavenaPs statement was precipi-
tated by a discussion following the read
ing of a paper by Or. G. Morton III
man, entitled. Report OF a Case Of
Hydrophobia With Autopsy"
Dr. ulman depIored the fact that
hydrophobia had no official recognition
among the general body of medical men.
He said that such care should be taken
TO guard against-the disease, that dogs
when they show signs OF sickness should
be Guaranteed. He complained that
those in charge of the coroner's depart
ment compelled him. in the case Of a
hydrophobia victim he had attended. to
mark the certificate, "Died from hys-
tericaI commissions" He contended that
had he insisted on marking the case
''hydrophobia'' an inquest would have
been held. with the result that the
coroner's officials would have had their
own way anyhow"
DR.. Ravenal while travelling in Eu-
rope several years ago. refuted the the
ory advanced by Dr. Koch, hat cows
could not transmit tuberculosis to hu-
mans While conducting an expert
ment along this line for the State De-
partment he accidentally became in
fected himself Hence lie contended he
ought to know.
His experiments lin hydrophobia have
been conducted by injecting virus into
dogs, rabbits, and other animals. He
said that there is no case on record of
cure having been effected by the Pas
teur method after the fatal symptoms
of the disease developed.

Mutsuhito Is DISTURBED.

Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan has
caused the editors Of the "Alnanach
de Gothar' to be approached with a
view Of procuring the inclusion Of his
name and of his house in Part I OF the
publication in question, among the
other sovereign families Of civilized
countries. Both he ana mis- government
resent the fact that whereas the Turk
ish Sultan should find a place in Part I
along with the monarchs OF Germany,
Russia. Italy. England. Austria-Hun-
gary, etc. the Emperor OF Japan should
be relegated to the tail end of the work
with the Emperor OF China, the Shah
Of Persia. and otter pOtentates of Asia
and Africa. whom he regards as inn
measurably inferior TO himself in
point Of civilization and enlightenment
The Mikado seems to feel that this
exclusion from the list of sOvereigns in
PART l of the "Almanach de Gotha'
has something TO do with the failure
Of European courts to treat him on
the same footing as themselves, notably
as regards the matter Of court mourn
ing. and messages OF congratulation
and of coincidence on the occasion Of
births. marriages and deaths, respec-
lively.

Reckless Chaufeurs.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
1t is sad. indeed, II the streets of
Washington are to be surrendered to
reckless operators of automobiles. In
many cases 1t is not a question whether
the chauffeur is violating the law. but
whether the policeman on bicycle will
be able to catch him. Motormen, 1 have
no doubt. run their cars too fast, and II
so. they should be arrested and fined.
but as a rule the street car stays on its
tracks. and one knows where to look
for it; not so with the automobile. 1t
rims around corners at a speed that
threatens the safety of it's occupants,
to say nothing Of the pedestrian. The
speed limit of twelve miles an hour. no
doubt. seems tame TO the man accus-
toned to riding in a touring car and
making record-breaking runs. but this
is a case of the greatest good to the
greatest NUMBER" so let him obey the
law. r. NJ o.

RICH REWARD GIVEN
To MEN WHO SAVED LIFE
Half Interest in Gold Mine for Two
Alaskans

TACOMA. Wash. Dec. n.-Because
they saved him from starvation IN the
wilds of Alaska, Henry Bratnober, a
mining expert, and Jack Dalton. Alaska
pathfinder. viii receive a half interest
in a rich placer gold strike made in
September by Henry Behrens. an
Alaskan prospector. whose home is in
New York.
Last summer Behrens started from
Valdes for Tanana River in search of a
nameless creek, which was represented
to him as very rich in gold After los
ing two RATS on the upper Tanana,
Behrens struck out into the wilderness
and got lost.
Bratnober and Dalton came along
with n pack train looking for an eX-
tension of Copper River copper lodges,
and found Behrens, who had been for
eighteen days without food. They re-
manned several days and left him all
the provisions he desired.
Behrens renewed his search for the
creek, and in September found It He
says IL is wonderfully rich.

also devoted to the horrible condition
of the jewellers in the tenernents, but
OF the middle class people, the people
who have been blessed with neither
poverty nor riches, who send their
children to the public schools well
dressed and well fed, and with expec-
tations of attending college some day,
who have saved money enough to buy
homes of their own when they reach

and pretty things, and go to the thea

Brooklyn and Jersey City, or referred
to with scorn and derision as Mr.. and
Mrs. Commuter of Lonelyville?
The visitor to New York sees peo-
PIE who apparently belong to this
class, but they may be visitors. II is
well known that New York entertains
daily throngs from the hinterland,
sufficient for the peopling of modest
town elsewhere, and they are not all
farmers in search of gold bricks,
either. Some of them can hardly be
distinguished in dress and bearing
from the true New Yorker. Do any
of these well-dressed, well hammered,
well-to-do but not wildly afiuent peo-
pie really belong to the metropolis
Of course they do, but the literature
of the city does not show it. 1t is
true that they are overshadowed more
or less by those elements in the pop
Ulation which are not found in the
hinterland, but they are there, all the
same. They do not appear IN htera-
ture, only because they are less pie
turesquely entertaining than the Bow
cry boy, the repeater of tIe divorce
courts, the immigrant who cannot
speak English, or the side show freak
who consumes thousand-dollar bills
every day-eats 'em alive. Mr.. How
els is the only novelist of New York
who has put any of them into book,
