Improvement Convention.
 Huntsville. Sept. II Especial J. The annual meeting of the Tennessee River Improvement Association in De catur will very likely be postponed from the middle of October to Novem- Der because of the fact that many of the Congressmen who have been invit- ed to attend will be unable to acce ot unless the. meeting is held after the national election.
 a Several of the prominent members of the Association favor the postpone ment and 1t Is understood that the peo- pie at Decatur are of the same mind.
 The approaching meeting will be ono of the most important ever held by the Association. Congress will be asked to appropriate the sum of ssoo,- 900 for the completion of the work at Colbert Shoals and. that money eX- pended, the river will be navigable at all stages as high up as Decatur.

LOSS FROM TYPHOID.

The Michigan physician who puts
the annual money loss to the United
States from typhoid fever at $4,000
coo is far from setting forth the full
truth He reaches his estimate by
assuming $1,000 as the average value
Of the lives sacrificed and he omits
all account Of the money spent in the
care Of noG-tatal cases, The real val
Ne Of the lives lost-so far as such
value can be expressed in money
might more properly be rated at S.
oJo, and at least $1oo on the average
must be spent on victims who re-
cover. On this calculation. assuming
that the Michigan physician is correct
in his number of cases, the annual
loss TO the country from typhoid IS
nearly $500 000. Providence Jour.

HIGH FlNANc e"

In his most interesting testimony
at the gas hearing, Thomas w. Law
son testified that he and his friend
Rogers had for nine years been on
very intimate terms. Business trans
actions aggregating more than $780,
100000 had been carried on without
any writing having passed between
them. There were $4,000, 600 made
without a stroke of the pen.
That so little gas escaped with such
a careless leaving open Of the win
dows is the real wonder Such con
flding brokerage has seldom been on
record. BY a sort Of wireless telegra-
ply these great sums Of money seem
to have been passed around while the
real thingness of the thing remained
a profound mystery.
The secrets Of reorganization thus
actions can be made out Of wind and
gas so fine that they transcend the
science of accounts and intricacies Of
bookkeeping
Those who attempt to make some
thing out of nothing naturally find
themselves cucumbered with such diff
dculHes. That in the midst Of their
tolls they smite so sereuely and carry
so supreme an air of innocence only
shows the high financial strata in
which they live, move and have their
being.
How high finance" can thus re
solve itself into grotesque shapes and
give to airy nothingness a local habi-
tation and name is perhaps only
for adopts to know.-Boston Globe
