The Cossacks of The Caucasus.

The most exceptional cavalry
soldiers of Europe are the "cau-
casian Cossacks" of the Russian
army. Blindly obedient to their
officers, indifferent to danger and
death, Injured to endurance of the
physical hardships and amazingly
skillful In management of their
tough, wiry steppe pouies-a breed
closly akin to our mustangs-their
representatives are among the most
interesting personal exhibits In the

West Virsinia's Banks.

The advance information given
out by West Virginia's State com
missioner on banking, Hon. M. A.
Kendall, whose annual report Is
about to be published, makes a
most gratifying showing for the
banks of the State. The most not
able statement the commissioner
makes Is that the increase In bank
Ing resources for the past year Is
more than equal to the resources of
all the banks existing In West Viz
ginia twelve years ago. No more
striking phrase giving In a nutshell
the remarkable prosperity OF the
State has been uttered by public
man of the New Dominion. The
Manufacturer quotes from Com
missioner Kendall as follows:
"The last call made by the
comptroller of the currency, on the
national banks, was on June 9th.
| I called for statements from the
State banks on the same day. On
that day there were 131 State banks
In active operation In this State,
with capital stock amounting to
$6,e2e,6S3.75. The surplus and
undivided profits amounted S3,943 ,
ASSOC; the total deposits amounted
$37,22o,S55 o. the total aggregate
resources $5o,323,141.51; the
loans and discounts amounted to
$33,7eo,313.2o; the average re-
serve held by these banks was
2oH per cent. This demonstrates
the conservative spirit of our bank
ers. for the legal requirement Is
only IS per cent.
From bull .tins received from
the comptroller of the currency, 1
note that on the same day there
were IS national banks In opera
ton In this State, the capital stock
of which amounted to $5,283, 10000.
The surplus and undivided profits
amounted to S2.791,2e4.6S; the
total deposits, exclusive Of the
United States deposits, were $22-
S79,577.97:
"Thus you will see that we had
on the date mentioned, 1876 banks
In operation In this State, with
total deposits amounting to over
$50, zoo, 900. 90.
"There Is lnothlng which so
clearly indicates the growth OF
business In our State as the bank
Ing business. In order then. that
the public may appreciate the
rapid growth of business In this
State, I will compare the present
conditions with that which existed
about eleven months ago:
ION the 10Th day of July, 1902, I
received statements from the State
banks, and will now compare the
results with Those obtained from

HOTEL TO STAY.
Mr.. F. M. Case Decides to
Continue the Manage
ment of the Wash
inteng.


1t was rumored today that the Hotel
Washington would continue to be run un-
der the present efficient management of
Mr.. Frank NJ. Case, he having secured
8 renewal of his lease of the property for
three more years.
The news was received with gratifca-
tion not only by the numerous patrons of
the popular hostelry, but by downtown
business men in general. Local hotel ac-
commodations are meagre.
Some months ago the property was
bought from Mr.. Jacob Ringle by the
Sisters Of st. Joseph of the Peace, and 1t
was announced that they intended to use
it as an extension Of their orphan asylum
in York street. Another rumor was to
the effect that it was to be torn down and
an extension Of the orphan asyiumerected
on the present site. The Sisters of the
Peace also own the corner property ad-
jacent. They have postponed their build
ing plans.

WHERE ARE THE POLICEq
Boys Nightly Risk Their Lives
and Annoy Passengers at
Henderson Street Sta
tion.

Jersey City and Hoboken boys who
live in the vicinity of the Henderson
street station of the elevated structure
of the North Hudson Railway Company
have recently started the dangerous prac-
tice of playing tag on the structure dur
ing the rush hours of traffic. With east
and westbound cars of all the lines pass
ing and stopping every few minutes the
sport is exceedingly dangerous and very
annoying to those in waiting on the plat
form. Night after night from a dozen
to score of boys ranging in size from
mere midgets to stalwart sixteen years
old lads race backward and forward
across the two tracks, chasing and push
ing one another. The ties are about eight
inches apart and wooden guards protrude
near foot above the flooring. In the
shadows and uncertain light the boys
yeap on or over the guards endeavoring
heighten the risk enthusiastically A
to reach the opposite platform. To
heighten the risk they generally wait for
the approach of car, often when TIVE
cars are approaching from an opposite
direction. They hun acros sin bunches,
a n.isstep Of one, a fall, and the APP
preaching car would be upon the one
falling, cutting and grinding him to pieces.
Possibly the one falling might cause
others to fall upon him.
Some of the boys amuse themselves by
sliding down the banisters of the stair
way, occasionally punching with their
heels passengers hurrying up and down.

Illustrious Commander Of

REMOVED YESTERDAY

Special to "The Jersey city News.'')

Especial to 'The Jersey city News')
TRENTON, March Fl, 1903. Quietly
and without ceremony, the body of Gem
eral George B. Mcclellan, the illustrious
csmmander Of the Army of the Potomac,
and later Governor of New Jersey, was
taken from its resting place in Riyerview
Cemrteey yesterday Afternoon and placed
IN vault beneath the granite shaft
which stands as tribute to his mem
DRY.
Now the body of 'siLttle Mac rests
in the centre of the little square in the
middle of the cemetery, short distance
frem the main gate
Governor Mcclellan was buried in the
plot of General Randolph B. Marcy, his
father-in-law, which is located a eonsid-
cradle distance from the monument. The
Mcclellan Memorial Association, which
raised the money for the erection of the
monument a few years ago, conceived the
idea of having the body transferred to a
place beside the shaft and after some
persuasion obtained the widows con-
sent.
General Donnelly, G. D. w. yroem,
former Secretary of State Henry G. Kel-
sey and the late General Stryker ar
ranged the plans for the building of the
tomb, which was begun several weeks
ago. Mr.. Kelsey, who was the secretary
of the association. superintended the
work and when it was completed yester-
day afternoon and three of the surviving
members Of the association gathered at
the cemetery and followed the remains
Of the great commander to the new place
that had been prepared for them.
the members of the generals family were
present and the little group retired from
the tomb without attracting any atten-
ton.
One of the reasons which caused the
removal of the body was the wonderment
often times expressed by strangers upon
visiting the cemetery in finding McClel-
lan's body not beneath the shaft. In
buried General MFWD MFWY FWYYE
the plot where it formerly rested is
buried General Marcy and his wife, and
is short distance from the grave of the
late General Stryker.
The casket was not opened, but from
the short survey made of the box sur
rounding it, it was in fairly good cendi-
ton. The body had been inferred more
than twenty years and every year the
day before memorial day Mrs. McCll-
Ian comes here from New York and de-
corates the grave and monument with
garlands of flowers.

Street and Water Board Has
Men at Work on the
Asphalted Thorough

DANGEROUS SPOTS REMOVED
Chief Conway Had Complain
ed That Fire Engines
We're ia Constant
Peril.


The Beard Of St eet aud Water COM
mssioners have begun to repair all the
asphalted streets in the city. For some
time the condition Of the asphalt on
many of the streets downtown has been
in poor shape. Holes and other bad
spots wer discovered, especially on Coles
and York streets. where traffic has in
creased considerably in the past year.
Chief Conway, Of the Fire Department,
complained to the Board that No. 5
Engine was almost constantly in the re-
pair shop owing to accidents resulting
from holes in the streets.
The Chief said when an engine ran
over one of these holes or ruts broken
axle was the result, and consequently the
apparatus had to be placed in the repair
shop.
Commissioner Heintze notified Chief
Conway that the Board had alraedy
made plans for the repair of the streets
in question and that the asphalt men
would begin work at once Men were
at work this morning cutting out the bad
spots on York street, preparatory to the
laying of new asphalt where it is needed.
When the repairs are completed the
streets viii be in as good condition as
ever
One of the reasons York street is in
such poor condition is the fact that
it has been used great deal during the
past winter by trucks and other vehicles
which the police were obliged to keep off
Montgomery street as much as possible
to relieve the congestion of traffic on the
latter thoroughfare.
