CABINET WAS JOYFUL

over the Outcome of the AIasEa
boundary Claims.
Washington, Oct. 20.-Some minor
matters affecting the various depart
nents were considered by the cabi-
net to-day, but no announcement
was made concerning action upon any
of them. Some consideration was Civ
en-. it is understood, to the report of
Charles Bonaparte and Holmes Con-
rad on phases of the postoffice irregu-
laritieS. The report was made direct
ly to President Roosevelt, and dealt
particularly with the charges made by
Former Cashier Tulloch of the Wash
ington postoffice. In some respects the
report is said to criticise the official
acts of Controller Tracewell of the
treasury, but both the President and
Secretary Shaw are agreed as to the
integrity of Mr.. Tracewell's actions.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Thomas Nall. Grimm.

Griffin. Ga, Oct. 20.-Mrs. Thomas
Nall, wife of Hon. Thomsa Nall clerk
and treasurer of the city of Griffin, died
at her home this morning. Her con-
dition has been critical for the past
week, and it was known that her death
was but matter of q few days. Mrs.
Nall was one of the most intellectual
women of this state, and had gained
an enyiable reputation as a writer. Her
articles, both prose and poems, were
readily accepted by the leading mag
azines of this country. She was a de-
voted member of st. Georges Episco-
pal Church. which she joined in early
childhood, and was known for her
charitable deeds. In her home life she
was an ideal wife. daughter and
mother, and here her death has fallen
with a crushing blow She is survived
by her husband her mother, Mrs. Re-
becca Rockwell, and four children, Mr..
Rockwell Nall of Spokane, Wash, Miss
Corinne Nall of Washington, D. c.,
Miss Rebecca Nall and Miss Hermione
Nall of Griffin.

tenure of office in the trustee is of
great Importance; and if any or all
of the fund to be transmitted is to be
devoted to public charities, a perma-
nent trustee then becomes inevitable.
Moreover, there always exists the pos
sibility of malfeasance and betrayal,
the sins of omission and commission,
whereby fortunes are too often dis
sipated and lost.
This problem which, to thoughtful
and conscientious men is a grave one,
the trust company, in it's legal capa-
city as administrator, executor or
guardian or trustee, is established to
solve. Enjoying perpetuity, it is not
subject to the vicissitudes of death.
Controlled by the limitations and pro-
visions of it's charter, it is kept by
the strong hand of the law within the
limits of conservative operations.
Presumably managed by a competent
board of directors, the benefcfaries of
the trust have the advantage of the
collective wisdom of the experienced
man, and in financial matters, in a
multitude of experienced counsellors
there is safety Inspected by indie
pendent officers of the state,any wrong
doing by the officers of a trust company
cannot long remain undiscovered.
Possessed of ample capital, the bene-
=
through errors or willful dishonesty.
Il submit therefore, that the burdens
of the rich would be sensibly relieved
if due regard were had to the advan-
tages offered by the trust company.
This brings me to a closer considera-
ton of what the trust company should
be in it's character, capital and meth
DDS of business, to enable it to dis
charge with zeal and fidelity the high
Al.
capacity as trustee. Its capital should
be adequate to it's responsibilities. Its
officers and directors should be men
Of experience and with a single mind
devoted to the institution they serve.
Its corporate work, whether exclusive
ly relating to it's trust business or not
should be of a dignified character and
free from hazard. Around the trust
company should further be thrown the
safeguards of wise legislation. In
some of the older states, adequate pro-
vision in this respect has been made,
and these beneficent laws could profit
ably be adopted by the states less for
tu2ate.
'I am firmly of opinion, therefore,
that the growing value of such COM
panies in the special work to which l
have alluded should be made known
to that class which we may justly hope
is becoming numerically greater, TO
whom the problem of the proper man
agement and ultimate disposition of
their property presents itself as the pc
suliar problem of the rich"
Mr.. Fred Heinz of Davenport, Ia.
spoke of THE Dangers Threatening the
Savings Banks" He said in part:
ITO keep the savings banks in popu-
lar favor it is absolutely necessary that
the greatest safeguards be provided for
the deposits. When this is done the
cry for government savings banks will
cease; otherwise not.
THE loans should be good and kept
good. Investments should be of such
a character that there can be no
shrinkage of the principal and should
be in such shape that they can be dis
posed of in case of need within rea-
sonable time

Harvesting the wiId Rice.
From Field and Stream.

lOlii lGlQ anu OlTGdIn.
Almost all the wild-rice seed now
harvested is gathered by Indians into
birch-bark canoes. This is done usual
ly by two persons working together,
one standing in the bow of the canoe
and propelling it with forked stick,
and the other seated in the stern with
two short sticks, by means of which
the plants on either side of the canoe
are gently pulled over 1t and the ripe
seed beaten off. No attempt is made
to get all the seed eff the plants at one
time. II Is customary rather to take
only the seed which falls readily and
to visit the same plants later as more
seeds ripen. The period of ripening ex-
tends over nearly two weeks for any
field and over several days for any
single plant, so that We're one to at
tempt to harvest all the rice on a given
area 1t would be necessary to GO over
that area Mt least four or five times at
intervals of from two to three DAYS.
Recently some attempts have been
made to construct machinery for har-
vesting wild-rice seed from boats
driven by screws or drawn by cable
So far, however. such endeavors have
not been entirely successful.

bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States and of

other with a view to the better mainte-
nance of discipline and the protection
from unworthy ministers"

MANY BANKERS GATHER
In SAN FRANCISCO
Trust Company Section Heard Paper By
Lyman D. Gage on Trust Companies
as Trustees

San Francisco. Oct. 2o.-The hotels
are rapidly filling with delegates to the
convention of the American Bankers
Association. Fully 1900 persons came
in a special train sent across the con-
tinent by the leading railroads. In adj

over the regular routes of travel on

the delegates that the arrangements
for the convention are complete. and
they are pleased with the welcome ex-
tended by California and San Francis

Three meetings preliminary to to-
morrow's convention of the associa-

Secretary Branch read the paper on
Trust Companies as Trustees" writ
ten by Lyman ]. Gage, president of
the United States Trust Company of
New York, which was. in part, as fol-
lows:
I'm this country we have not well
learned the lesson of content with ref
erence to an acquired competence.
The American business man seldom
retires. He prefers to struggle on in
the harness and to carry his financial
problems to the inevitable end. not as
a general rule from considerations of
avarice (for' in no country are the
rich more generous or less avericious)
but from the sheer joy of achieve
ment and the fascination which the
conflict of business life has for him.
IF, however, the American man of
wealth does not wish to retire from
business, but, with his characteristic
and inexhaustible energy, prefers, for
the mere pleasure of achievement. to
continue to add to his accumulated
sibility of disability through diseases or
infirmity of age and the certainty of
death
Sooner or later, the obligation must
be discharged to make a wise DISPOSE
ton of his fortune, and as nothing is
more certain than that he cannot him
self continue, and as nothing is more
certain than that the question Whom
shall l constitute my executor or
trustee? Shall it be my eldest SOM
Frequently he is of all the family the
least qualified. Shall it be one of the
juniors? Such preference is apt to
excite jealousy and bitterness and lead
to unhappy dissensions. A trusted
and experienced friend? He may not
survive, and in any event his avail
ability may alter through changed
conditions and circumstances when it
it too late to recall the trust. A legal
counsellor? His ability and character
may both be great, but the uncertain
ties of life surround him as they do
other men, be he ever so competent and
faithful. If provision is to be made
for children and grandchildren, a long
