One Of the stories concerning the
traditional dish of roast goose on MI
chaelmas day refers to Lord Byron,
says an English newspaper. The poet
always insisted in keeping up Old Gus,
toms in small things, such us having
hot cross buns on Good Friday and
roast goose ON Michuelmas day. This
last fancy had a grotesque result when
he was in Italy After buying a goose
and fearing It might be TOO lean Byron
fed it every dry for a month previous
TO the festival, so that the poet ana
the bird became so mutually attached
that when Sept % arrived he could
not kill it, but bought another and had
the pet goose swung in II cage under
his carriage wien he Travelled.

OBITUARY..
Robert Campbell.

The many friends of Rev. and Mrs.
NJ. Campbell Stryker in this city, will
learn with regret of the death of their
little son, Robert, which occurred at
their home in Jacksonville, Fla, Sun
day, Oct. IS.
The following notice appeared in the
Jacksonville Times-U Union: AT 5:45 p.
m, yesterday. Robert Brooks Stryker,
the infant son of Rev. and Mrs. NJ.
Campbell Stryker of this city, entered
into rest. The child had only been i'll
for about a week, and yesterday after
noon the end came. Rev. Mr.. Stry-
ker, who was away from the city, was
summoned home and reached here yes
terday morning. The little fellow was
three years and four months old. The
many friends of Rev. and Mrs. Stry-
ker extend them sincerest sympathy in
their bereavement. Service will be
held at the Church of the Good Shep-
herd in Riverside. of which Rev. Mr.
Strylker is rector. this afternoon at 8
o'clock"
The interment was in Evergreen Gem
etery Jacksonville. Mr.. Stryker was
formerly assistant to the rector of
Christ Church. from which he was

to the status of the banks, and If the
same publicity from other public cor
porations could be required, a most i'm
portant service would be rendered the
public"
Schmitz, Mayor of San Francisco.
made an address extending a hearty
welcome to the distinguished visitors,
and he was followed by Gov. George
c. Pardee.
Another address of welcome was
made by James d. Phelan, on behalf
of the San Francisco bankers.
President Hardy made a brief re-
spouse to the messages of good will
and hospitality. and then the meeting
settled down to the work for which it
had assembled.
Secretary Branch read his report and
was followed by George F.
Orde, the treasurer, who re-
ported receipts, including balance of
$157,921, and expenditures of $65, $780, the
largest items being, Protective Com
mittee, $3S, 1879, and salaries, $15,656. The
balance. Aug. 81. 1902. was $72,3s2.
The report of Secretary Branch show
ed the paid membership to be 1865,
with annual dues amounting to &c.
SIS. During the past year 303 members
were lost through failures and with
drawal, but to offset this loss, 1,130
members were placed on the roll.
E. F. Swinnery, chairman of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, in presenting the
report of the council, said that the
main item of expense of the associa-
ton arises from the work of the Pro-
lection Committee in preventing and
detecting crime, and this expense ex-
ceeds the income. The committee ad-
vocated an increase of dues, graduated
according to capitalization.
The plan of creating a guaranty as
ISOLATION, which would include banks
and employees, and which would reim-
burse members in losses occurring
through dishonesty, was not favored
by the Executive Council.
A resolution favoring a money order
system for banks was approved.
An address by i, p. Hillyer, cashier
of the American National Bank of Ma
con, Ca. closed the regular business of
the days session. His subject was
Money Orders OF Bankers Associa-
ton" He pointed out that the daily
money order business of the govern
ment and express companies amounted
to 900, and advocated action by
the association to secure some of the
business of this popular method. He
said the government would not feel
competition Dy the banks, Dut held that
until the money orders issued by banks
could be cashed anywhere little pro-
gress would be made.
MIR. Frank w. Tracy, chairman of the
Committee on Uniform Laws, sub
United its report. During the year two
states had adopted the negotiable in
strument law, which is now in force in
twenty-three of the states-FlcFida,
New York, Massachusetts, Colorado
Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
Wisconsin, Tennessee, Oregon. Connec-
ticut. Washington, Utah, Rhode Island
North Dakota, Iowa. New Jersey, Ohio
Pennsylvania, Montana, Idaho, also in
Arizona and the District of Columbia.
The committee recommended that
earnest efforts be made to have the law
passed next winter by Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi and Vermont.

the floods came we had maintained

full accord and harmony. We have
had no actual losses. and with one ex-
ception, our combined probable losses
up to date would not aggregate one

exception referred to is our claim
against the Eastern Tube Company,
which may or may not result in loss,
and even If total loss should there
ensue, 1t could be paid In full out of
our undivided profits of 100000 with
out touching either our capital of ST.

when our doors closed we had APP
proximately $1,900.000 of deposits, to

BANK IN PITTSBURG
HAS SOME HARD LUCK
Suspends Payments But Its President Makes
Statement Most ReaSsQrine

Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 2l.-Notice was
posted on the doors of the Federal
National Bank at Q o'clock this morn
ing, announcing that the institution
was closed by order Of the controller
of the currency.
Following is the signed statement Of
j. A. Langfit, president of the bank:
THE Federal National Bank has
finally yielded to the combined as
saults of its stockholders and deposit
ors, and has closed it's doors until ar
rangements can be made to discharge
an depositors claims. The question of
reopening will then be decided
when the business depression came
on, the stockholders. from necessity or
fear, began throwing the stock upon
the market The stock issue was large
and the market weak. ThereuDon dis
quieting rumors sprang into birth,
groundless, baseless and, perhaps IN
some cases, malicious. These increas-
ed the weakness of the stock. and the
weakness increased the rumors until
our splendid list of deoositors took
fright, and the rapid withdrawal of
money began and increased in volume
daily until. despite our best efforts to
call in loans and provide funds, the
bank could no longer meet the demands
upon it. and drastic measures became
necessary. Our demand loans could
not all be collected forthwith. and our
time notes had not yet matured.
Last night the directors, believing
such course to be the proper one UNI
der the circumstances. ordered the
bank to be closed temporarily, and re-
quested the controller of the currency
to take charge.

The Savannah morning news., 1903-10-22

San Francisco, Oct. 21.-The actual
business of the twenty-ninth annual
convention of the American Bankers
Association began this morning, when
the delegates assembled in the Cali
fornia Theater, which was comfortably
filled. The theater, and stage were
handsomely decorated with flowers,
evergreens, and ferns.
President Caldwell Hardy, in calling
the convention to order, said in part:
1.-The unprecedented prosperity of the
last few years brought US last fall to
climax of nigh prices for commodi-
ties and securities. The same SUM-
shine which brings to it's full fruition
our rich harvests also fosters the tares.
So among the substantial edifices of
over prosperity have sprung up arti-
fetal commercial structures, which
have failed signally to stand the test
of time. Over-sanguine people, some
probably not over scrupulous, had been
capitalizing, and recapitalizing schemes
of all kinds, and inducing people, with
paper profits, to underwrite Rotations
which they were unable to carry.
The boom had gone too far, the ma
tural reaction set in, and a general
house-cleaning began where it was
most needed. in the wedding out of
over capitalization and inflated secur-
tiles.
IF there is any class of men more
than others who should never take
speculative risks it is those who are
handling the earnings and savings of
others, and the seeking of deposits at
high rates of interest. which can only
be earned by speculative investments,
is a menace to sound banking. Saw
ing depositors should carefully shun
such institutions, of which there are,
however, happily but few"
On the subject of corporations he
said:
I'm the formation of our great indus
trial corporations, we have been con-
fronted with new and strange condi-
tions. Eliminating those of a fraudu-
lent or fictitious character, nearly all
of them have been subject to criticism
in the matter of capitalization, and
the weak point with all of them has
been the failure to provide a reason
able working capital
There has been a greater concentra-
ton of securities in the consolidation
of many of our railroads than actual
values, apparently, justify, but the
concentration of management and con-
troll has brought about a stability of
rates which has created an established
value for their legitimate securities
without hardships to the patrons of the
roads.
"A word on publicity, as it relates
to all public corporations. Some criti-
cism recently has been made of the
publication of the weekly New York
tot incident
merely to point to a moral. The form
and method of making this statement
has been, more or less. a subject of
discussion for some time past. If the
form and method of publication is not
as accurate as it should be. make it
what it should be, but do not suppress
it, Bank statements in general con-
