SHAW MAY CALL ON
BANKS FOR S2o 100000
Secretary Plans For Return of Some
of the Government
Funds.

WASHINGTON; D. c Nov. 1G.--
Secretary Shaw IS planning to cali
on the National bank derusitors for
a return of some of the government
funds soon after January /. The
amount TO he called in has not yet
been settled, but it is believed that
it will reach at least 5000 900. This
has been made necessary to fill the
working balance of TIE Treasury,
which has diminished during the last
year.
It was thought best not 10 make
such a call or any announcement dur
ing the campaign. Now that the elcc-
ton excitement is over, the Secretary
feels that it can be done without any
disturbance to business and 10 the
benefit of the money market. Of
course a change in treasury conditions
in the next month may make such
call unnecessary. but according &c
present plans it will be made very
early in the year.

Rests on His Laurels.

Herr Won Moser, the celebrated
German poet, whose body has just
been cremated at GOtha, had in his
possession some years before his
death a miniature coffin made of
crystal destined to receive his
ashes. In this coffin were con
tanned a number of withered
leaves of laurel, each of which had
been plucked from one or other of
the wreaths offered him by admir-
ers. The explanation of this was
to be found in the Often-repeated
jest of the poet: 81 shall repose
upon my laurels." This prophecy
has now been actually realized.
