WOULD KILL INCURABLES.
Minister shocks Doctors by startling
PropOsition-Ihink- II would
lie IA step Forward

Rev. Marie st. c. Wright, Of the
LenoX Avenue Unitarian church of New
York city, startled the guests at the
annual banquet Of the New York State
Medical association the other night by
advocating euthanasia or the putting of
incurables to an easy death. He said:
Il appreciate the practical difficulties
in the way OF the application Of the doc
trine, but 1t seems To me that 1t is not
beyond the bonds Of possibility. or
course, IT would be necessary to have the
advice and approval of men Of the high
esq scientific attainment.
The city might be divided into dis
tricts and every application should be
considered most carefully, not merely
by physicians, but by some eminent cler-
gyman selected for the purpose.
And, Of course there should be the
consent OF the relatives and the consent
even Of the patient himself.
But where all those considerations
are fulfilled and where the prolongation
OF life is simply the prolongation OF
hopeless agony, it seems to me that il
would be quite proper that such a pa
tent should quietly decently, modest
~ be allowed TO end his suiferings. II
seems to me that such a course would be
step forward In civilization and a
step farther away from barbarism. +"

NAVY REPORT.
Secretary Moody Discusses Need al
Reorganization aud Asks for
More Warships

Washington, Dec. 5. - Secretary
Moody, in his annual report, refers at
length to the organization of the navy
department: "As the naval establish
ment grows in importance" he says,
and the amount of public money de-
voted to its maintenance is increased
its proper administration justly be
comes an object of solicitude.
Il venture to express the hope that
congress may give to the whole subject
OF organization its best thought and at
tention The cost of our naval estab-
lshment, as well as the importance OF
the efficiency of our navy, would amply
warrant all the study which can be
given.
Careful consideration given during
the past year TO the question of the
continuance Of naval construction con
firms me in the views expressed in my
last annual report that the upbuildinG
of the navy should be continued by the
annual authorization of new vessels"
The effective force was increased
during the fiscal year by the addition
of 25 new vessels, one battleship four
harbor defense monitors, II torpedo
boat destroyers, one torpedo boat and
seven submarine boats.
The expenditures for the support OF
the navy have increased considerably
were during the last fiscal year larger
than in any year Of our history, except
1864 and 1865, and are certain TO increase
still further The total In 1903 was $82. .

A TERRIBLE PENALTY.
Prisoners Sentenced to Solitary Con.
fnement in France Not Allowed
to SPEAK, Read or Work.

The Law Times makes the following
comment on the sentences passed on
the Humberts, the notorious French
sWndlers: Some of the comments in
the press on the sentence passed on
Nine Humbert and her husband (the
other pair of culprits came OF more
llghtiy) betray very imperfect appre-
citation of its nature. Five years re-
clusion, or solitary confinement as it
is understood in France, is not only a
rigorous but terrible penalty. Our
own code offers no parallel to it and it
is probable that life sentence Of penal
servitude in this country would be far
more easily endured. The solitude Of
the prisoner in reclusion is all but alb
soiute The strictest silence is enforced.
Presumably the consultations of religion
whatever that may amount to in so
dreadful situation-are not entirely
withheld; otherwise the prisoner is for
Dldden To speak, even to his guardian
Books are denied and (Which must be
almost the worst infliction Of alb the
most complete idleness is enforced. no
employment of any description may
mitigate the appalling vacancy OF days,
weeks and years. Half an hours ex-
arcise is allowed daily, in hood which
covers everything except the eyes. This
horrible life in death may end in the
tomb, but it is more likely TO end in
the padded cell of the maniac"

A Pitiful Case,

The death of Daniel Newman in Ls
Cross has revealed TO the poor authori-
ties a pitiful case of insanity which has
been kept from the world by him. Mrs
Augusta Newman was found to be
a mental wreck, dying from lack of food
with six children, all under IA years
almost in the same condition. During
the life of her husband the woman was
cared for like child by him, and none
outside the immediate family was
aware OF the misfortune. Mrs. New
mann was once a beautiful girl.

Washington, Dec. Tina the sta
bility of the national banks OF the Unit
ed States has not been disturbed by the
immense depreciation OF stocks during
the last year is declared by William b.
Rdgely, comptroller of the currency, in
his annual report. lie states that the

most none of a speculative character.
Careful Management.
The bank reports show total loans by
all the banks of 81 1872 ,697 ISL on col
lateral security" he says. These loans
are mostly on good classes OF stocks ana
bonds well margintd. and as far as they
are concerned, there is less cause Tor con
Germ than there has been at any time for
several years The loans are readJusttd
on a lower basis of prices than before. 1t
is due to the banks to say that the way
they have handled their business and
met this decline is an evidence OF
strength and careful management

national bank circulation is the great
increase in its volume, which reached
$421 ,222 ,4S9 September 3, 1908, the iarg-
est amount which has ever been in clrcu-
lation. 1t is 55.43 per cent of the max
imum possible circulation, which is
higher than this percentage has been
since 1886 This increase in the volume
of circulation has been largely due to
special efforts on the part of the treas
ury department.
Many New Banks.

bankers standpoint Since the new law
of 1900 was passed 100 national banks
