The Champion Pes.imist.

H. P. banks, the composer who died
last month in Philadelphia, was lest
known, perhaps, through his song,
Silver Threads Among the Gold, which
he wrote in his youth.
Mr.. banks lived quite alone. He
had pathetically odd way of passing
the time when not at work before his
organ. He would for several hours
each afternoon sit in the huge railway
station at Twelfth and Market streets
quietly watching the crowds.
Sometimes he would make cursory
acuuaintances at the station. Occa
sionally he would narrate TO his friends
odd remarks he had heard in chance
encounters. Thus, one morning. he
told OF an Englishman who the day be
fore had sat down beside him and be
ban to grumble about American news
papers.
Mr.. banks changed the subject t,
music, but the other grumbled again
He changed it to politics, and Their
was more grumbling. Finally. point
ing to the flood of sunlight whicl
streamed in through the great window
Mr.. banks said:
"A glorious day, isn't it?''
The other frowned and muttered:

American children are just too

bright! Here is a partial list (partial
in their favor) of their exploits during
country.
Being dissatisfied with a change
which the Chicago board of education
had made in the staff of the Jackson
school. they went on strike and re-

their own powers of decision. How
preoocious. They were not surrender

and flung them around the trolley
wires of the Chicago City railway
company. They also walked OFF with
large chunks of feed wire when their
spasms of thinking for themselves
were particularly violent. Some of
them would not go to school because
the teacher rode on car with a non
union conductor.

SUGGESTIONS CONCERNING :
THE HOUSEHOLD :


Openwork patterns are generally
preferred for fine damask tablecloths.
Curtains of cluny furnish the only
novelty of the season in the form OF
lace dIaperies.
The stained glass window effect is
produced by curtains of brussels net
ornamented by colored applications.
Tatting has been revived and some
exceedingly dainty centerpieces and
doylies are evolved by women clever
in manipulating the shuttle.
A pepper caster from which either
pepper or salt may be shaken has
come on the market. A light twist of
the thumb makes the change.
In the mission furniture group is
found a pretty dressing table to which

From an English correspondent
comes a suggestion for a new way to
serve mutton. Take the thick end OF
a leg Of mutton, which has been well
hung and rub with little salt and
black pepper. Bone carefully and fill
the cavity with stuffing as for a fillet
of veal and bind up tightly. Then
enclose in good suet paste, such as is
used for dumplings. Tie up tightly in
cloth. put it into boiling water and
keep il constantly simmering until it
is done allowing about an hour to
each three pounds of weight. Serve
in the paste with red currant jelly.

Electricity is being largely applied
to increase home comforts. One Of
the latest inventions of interest to the
household Is tea table with electric
radiators. This apparatus, devised
by an Englishman. serves the double
purpose of heating the room and
keeping the teapot or anything else
placed upon it at the required tenn
perature An elaboration of the same
idea is an electric radiator which
stands on sidetoard and keeps the

INTERESTING FEATURES.

eating Features.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE weekly
bank statement presents several elter-
esting features. Not only Is the cash
gain by the banks, about SIT 100000.
in excess Of all estimates, but the gain
of $35, 300 in deposits comes as .
surprise, and is close to the high rec
ord for this item. This In the first time
since February Of last year that de-
posits have exceeded loans. There is
well-defned notion in financial circles
that the unexpectedly large increase OF
deposits reflects the winding up Of
big loan Of long standing.
The weeks gain of over Sic. 900 900 in

however, forgot to do so, and, after an
awkward pause, the emperor walked

Cincinnati, Jan. lin the conven-
ton of the boot and shoe workers in
ternational union consideration was re-
sumed of the St. Louis case, which rep
resented the opposition to the general
officers as well as the interests of those
identified with the Knights of Labor
and the Western Labor union in all
sections AS the union was affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor, the question was one that con-
cerned all labor organizations and 9TH
er union men were watching the pro-
ceedings.
A. ]. Lawrence opened the discussion
denouncing the general officers for re-
voking eight St. Louis charters before
this convention met. He said they did
1t SO that they would have nine friend
ly delegates from the new locals here
from st. Louis instead of 10 from the
old locals, a difference of % in favor OF
the present general officers He said
the referendum was not effective un-
der the present management which he
charged with misuse of the stamp, col
fusion with bosses, discrimination and
many other things.
Lawrence reviewed conditions at all
the st. Louis factories and the proceed
ings of the locals and council at St.

icers were favoring H. M Eaton, now

New York, Jan. 17.-Cabling from st

diplomat as saying:
"Let all those who are adding fuel
to the fire which means war remember
that no possible power can limit thar
war to Japan and Russia.
It's extension to ether countries is
sure, with results too terrible to con-
sider."
Much Suppressed Excitement.
In the long corridor of the foreign
Office, where officials are wont to walk
about arm in arm, there were signs OF
much animation after tbs receipt Of
Japan's reply. There was much loud
talk and a general air of Unsurpassed
excitement. the same which prevailed
in many other influential quarters. AL
so the general opinion appears to be
that matters political have reached
highly critical points.
Russia is undoubtedly anxious to do
all possible, but there is a unanimous
feeling that she can not accept any
proposition from Japan which is dana
aging to her armour propre.
The situation may in fact, be summed
up as follows:
The situation Summed Up.
Japan is dissatisfied with the Russian
note, and returns it for amendment.
According to the declaration of high
official Of the foreign Office, when the
last Russian reply was sent to Japan.
Russia had conceded all she possibly
could, and while willing to grant small
concessions to Japan in Corea she 70
fuses to discuss the question of Man
churia.
Japan insists in pushing the Man
churian open door question as sine
qua non, and also with equal insistence
urging that she should have assurances
of the integrity of Corea and China, to
which Russia's consent is impossible.
Russia will reply in a similar tone,
and will lay her reasons before the
powers justjfying her attitude.
