School Savings Banks.

The school savings bank system
which has been put in operation in
many places in New York State Is
now declared to be violation of the
banking act. The system was started
by }. W. Thirty, who brought the idea
from Europe. The plan is to induce
children to save their pennies and
bring them to their teacher. who
places them in bank. AS the plan is
generally beneficial to the young, it ia
probably that laws will be amended Ia

uSCol. Watterson's characterization

summer This disposes summarily of
nearly 1874 900 possible candidates, and
makes the problem much simpler

most strenuous attempts to call
down the republican administration,
are preparing to ratify the Panama

jumping on the band wagon will soon be
overcrowded.-Troy Times.
DEvery right-minded citizen of

be far better to have a strong opposi-
ton standing on rational ground, and
making some fair appeal to the reason
of the country The unmistakable
rejection of Organism in candidate and
platform, and the return of the de-
mocracy to the sanity which ought to
belong to a great party would be well
come. If the party shall consult it's
own interest in the long run it will
take this course, whatever Mr.. Bryan
may do But it is not clear that it
will have the fiber to redeem itself.

BRYAN IS FOR HEARST.
Texas VIII Oppose Both md Try to
Keep Free silver
Down.

The COW that kicked over lamp in
Chicago years ago did not create any
more furor in that city than Bryan
has IN Texas politics by reason Of his
appeal made at the recent dollar dim
ner in Nebraska TO the patriotic hosts
to rally to the support of free silver
at the St. Louis convention, says an
Austin (TeX.) special to the Chicago
Chronicle
Texas politicians and Texas con-
gressmen in general have been nurS-
ing the fond belief that this issue was
a dead one in Texas politics. Bryan
has some warm followers in Texas
and they will try and put the state
on record as fayoring free silver
quite as much as an Endorsement of
him as for any other reason.
AS to what effect, if any, this will
have upon the presidential race in
that state no one at present seems in
cilned to predict. There is a feeling
prevailing all over Texas that Hearst
is being backed by Bryan for presi-
dental honors and it is felt that a
free silver plank in the Texas plat
form means an instructed Hearst del
egation to st. Louis. Both PROPOSE
tions will be fought. The Texas con-
gressmen are not for Hearst by any
means. In fact, not single man in
the Texas delegation is favorable to
either Hearst or Bryan and they will
be at the Texas convention fighting
tooth and toenail to keep both OF
them down. The Hearst people are
already in Texas at work among the
politicians, but with what success
cannot now be ascertained. Certain
it is that Bryan by his Nebraska
speech has opened up the racket in
Texas much earlier than the Hearst
'" expected or desired
Every effort will be made by the
Texas congressman and the leading
politicians to send an uninstruCted
delegation to ST Louis.
Bryan by his action has precipi-
tated the campaign weeks earlier than
was expected and 1t is predicted that
Hearst will be the chief loser thereby,
as the word has gone forth that ne
is Bryans candidate and If elected
will follow out Bryan's policies.

AT CRIPPLE CREEK.
The Reign Of Martial Law Comes to
an End - Prisoners I'm Bull Pen are
Turned Over to Civil utborities.

Cripple Creek, Col, Feb. 3.-Gov.
Peabody yesterday revoked his order
of December ) last proclaiming mar
tial law in Teller county. Military
Commander Nerdeckberg issued a
proclamation announcing that peace
and good order are being fully re-
stored and it has been shown that
the civil authorities are able to con-
troll the situation, to perform their
legal functions and to enforce the
laws" 1T is announced that de-
tachmcnt of the national guard Will
remain here for a time, but ''will act
il support of and in subordination to
the legally constituted civil authori-
ties"
All the prisoners III the bull pen
were delivered to the civil authorities
yesterday. John NJ. Glover, former
congressman from Missouri, was ar
raigned in the district court on a
charge of having attempted to kill
Sergeants Dittemore and Smith on
December 20. He pleaded not guilty
and was released under a 5000 bond.
Sherman Parker, leader of the
Western Federation of Miners, who
has been repeatedly rearrestcd by the
military after furnishing bonds on
the various charges filed against him,
was also released on bonds. Parker
and several other strike leaders who
are still in Jail, was charged by the
military with having caused the Vim
dicator mine explosion, by which two
men were killed, and with having
plotted to wreck train on the Flor
ence Sy Cripple Creek railroad.
The misdemeanor cases against
Adit. Gen. Sherman NJ. Bell Brig. Gen.
John Chase, Col. Edward Nerdeckberg

ties, or preventing their return to San
Miguel county.
1t is reported that Gov. Peabody
will declare martial law in this dis
trict at an end in day or two.

Curious Crime Statistics.

The statistics of crime-aud OF sui
eide if that is not considered crime
for recent years show some curious
facts. 1t seems that the increase in
the number OF crimes of violence re-
Bulting in death in the United States
of one and one-half per cent. as COM
pared with 1902, while the number OF
executions for the crime of murder
during the same year was less than IN
the former year by something over II
per cent This points Enthusiastically.
the Chicago Chronicle declares, to the
more alarming growth of laXity in this
administration Of the law, a matter
which has been commented on with in.
creasing frequency and emphasis. II
would add greatly to the significance Of
these statistics If they pointed out how
much of this decrease in the applica
tion of the penalty for homicide Of
murder has been due to failure to con
vict on trial, and how much to failure
10 dpplth anu u any boNS' ~
haps the most curious point in the sta
tistics is the increase in the number
of suicides. In the five years between
1898 and the end Of 1903 these in.
creased more than so per cent, so thai
the total number of suicides in the
year 1903 was very nearly as great as
the number of deaths resulting from
all other crimes of violence. The III
crease in the number Of suicides
throughout the term of FIVE years ap'
pears to have been nearly regular from
year to year. In some states within
recent years legal efforts have been
made to punish attempts at suicide,
and these statistics seem to go to show
that such laws have been either with
out effect or that they have only re-
suited N making those who try more
careful that tfNre shall be no miscar'
riage of the attempt. The five years
during which there has been this SUR
pTising increase in suicide have been
years of almost constant commercial
prosperity, a fact that goes TO refute
the once common belief that suicide
is stimulated by what is called hard
times" This whole problem of suicide
is one of the most perpleXing Of those
that have Dsset civilizations, ancient
and pDSdern. Whether there is any
ws> TO check that or not, it seems a
~ell-nigh universal opinion that swift
ness and certitude of punishment
would tend to check the crimes of vio-
lence against others, and statistics OF
crime among our Canadian neighbora
seem to bear out the opinion.

James, the Whitney family physician,
was summoned and found that the
condition of the patient was such that
after consultation an operation was

that it was fully believed he would
recover.
Mr. Whitney's condition was very

Mr. Whitney was placed under the

When the physicians perceived that
the patient was in danger of death,
Harry Payne Whitney and Miss Dor

his last. Oxygen was used and all the
skill of the physicians and surgeons
brought into play TO save the life OF
the distinguished patient, but to no

his death was made public. Later the

mean that the conviction of too muck

its teeth and digestion in consuming it.
The impression of too much sugar is
based on the fear that the supply will
