When the proprietors had departed
from the committee rooms Council
man Foster asked instead of a COM
promise of 5000. which several ap.

license be cut TO at least $l75. This
did not meet with the approval of the

IRRATIONAL MANKIND.
The Reasons Why So Few People Die
of Old Ace.

1t has been said that few men die
of old age and that almost all per-
sons die of disappointment, person
al, mental or bodily toll or accident.
The passions kill men sometimes.
even suddenly. The common ex-
preston, "choked with rage" has
little exaggeration in it, for, even
though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die young, weak men live
longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength, and the
weak have none to use-the latter
take care of themselves, the former
do not. As it is with the body, so ii
is with the mind and the temper.
The strong are apt to break, OF, like
the candle, run; the weak burn out.
The inferior animals, which live
temperate lives, have generally their
prescribed terms of years. Thus the
horse lives twenty-five years, the OK
fifteen or twenty, the lion about
twenty, the hog ten or twelve, the
rabbit eight and the guinea pig siA
or seven.
The numbers all bear proportion
to the time the animal takes to
grow its full size. But man, of all
animals, is one that seldom comes
up to the average. He ought to
live 100 years, according to the
physiological law, for five times
twenty are 100. But instead of that
he scarcely reaches an average age
of four times the growing period.
The reason is obvious. Man is not
only the most irregular and most
Incorporate, but the most laborious
and hard working of all animals.
He is always the most irritable,
and there is reason to believe,
though we cannot tell what an ami
NAL secretly feels, that more than
any other animal man cheriShes
wrath to keep it warm and con-
sumes himself with the fire of his
own refections.-Health Culture.

BETTER BUSINESS.
Signs of Improvement in Trade Noted
in All Directions.

New York. Aug. 5.-From almost
every part of the country from which
the International mercantile agency
has received special reports this week,
there are signs of an improvement in
trade with better business on hand
than is customary at this season of
the year and few cancellations as a
result of the rather calamitouS re-
ports that have been sent out the past
few days from the spring wheat sec
tions in the northwest. This is a
splendid augury for the trade for the
next six months. 1t is quite remark
able how little alarm has been evil

HER MIND GONE.
Mrs. Maybrick Is Said to Be a Com
plete Mental Wreck.

London, Aug. 5.-Friends and rela-
tives of Mrs. Florence Maybrick will be
shocked to learn that while they are
waiting her arrival in the United States
she is still in France and her condition
is more pitiable than has ever been
imagined.
Mrs. Maybriek is now with her moth
er, the Baroness de Roques, in Rouen.
1t can be stated ON absolute authority
that the long Imprisonment has at last
affected her mind. She is guarded from
the public gaze with the utmost care,
not even the XantBcDf the house be-
ing allowed to see her. But it is known
beyond doubt that she is so mentally
Frustrated that her mother feels the
keenest alarm concerning her. Indeed,
it is extremely doubtful if she will ever
recover.ri5ss .gf-zc9 5t1
The long Strainaof Imprisonment, cou-
pied with the nervous tension due TO
her knowledge that her friends were al
ways working in her behalf, proved in
the end too much for her to bear, and
when at last, after years of waiting
and suffering, she learned she was
again to become a free woman, the
shock proved too much and she col
lapsed, both mentally and physically.
The Baroness de Roques, who has
to the object of securing the release
of her daughter, is terribly affected. The
physical and mental wreck that has
been handed over to her by the British
home office is not her daughter of the
olden days. but a poor, shattered crea-

NEW KIND OF BOAT.
win Make All Other Boats Look Like
80 Cents.

New York. Aug. 5.-A new thing ia
naval propulsion has been in construc-
ton for more than a year on the roof
of an. architectural iron works building
in this city. The new boat has been
lowered to the street and taken to the
North river where5,ft wnl be tested. The
inventor believes that he will be able
to produce speed Hitherto unheard. of
on the water.
The scheme involves the principle
used by the squid. Beneath the boat,
running two-thirds of its length, be-
tween the keel and the bottom is a
tube fifteen inches in diameter. The
tube is open at both ends. Within it are
four propellers on a shaft, running the
length of the tube and attached by
gearing to an engine in the center. The
revolution of these screws drives the
water violently from the tube. This
concentrates the energy of the propei-
lers in one direction, instead of dissipat-
ing in every direction as in the case OF
the ordinary screw. The boat is thirty
feet long and has a five foot beam. A
Is horse power engine will be used.
The inventor is a graduate in naval
architecture of Cornell university ano
worked for two years at the Union
Iron Works in San Francisco He has
experimental on this idea for several
years and has made successful expert
ments with several models.

The baroness has had two expert
alienists in attendance on her daughter,
and they have expressed the fixed. opih-
ion that Mrs. Maybrick must be taken
to an asylum for the insane before she
can recover. Even they express doubt
as to the outcome.
The woman has no delusion, seeming
ly, but she is absolutely dazed and pas
sive. Her appearance is pitiable in the
extreme. There are times when she
does not even recognize her mother,
and it is impossible to arouse her to
action. She takes not the slightest in
terest in her surroundings. She has
been buried from the world so long that
she has forgotten all about it, and looks
about her as one in dream e-s@-e ?

cal change in her condition it is firm
ly believed that she will not survive the
shock.
The home of the Baroness de Roques
is surrounded by representatives of the
press. They watch the house from all
angles, day and night. This espionage
is extremely trying to the baroness. She
desires to keep her daughter from all
annoyance, though as a matter of fact
Mrs. Maybrick might today receive
thousand reporters without changing
her condition in the slightest. Sne
would not know who they were or what
they wanted; persons and conditions
pass before her unnoticed.

health. She mas slept very little since

to Withstand the Pressure.
Started by Story That Assets
Had Been Loaned to Packers.

Chicago. Aug. 5.-Hundreds of strik-
ers and others today thronged to the
Drovers' Trust and Savings bank near
the main entrance of the stock yards
and withdrew deposits, whether large
or small. The unusual scene attracted
a large crowd, set all manner of rumors
in circulation and created a general run
on the institution. The strikers action
was taken in retaliation for the alleged
action of one of the packing firms, Lib
hey Mcneil & Libbey, in making the
bank an adjunct to their pay depart
Inent. On Wednesday. it is said. Ed
ward Tilden. director of the company,
led strike breakers to the bank in order
that they might be paid off in cash in
stead of having to experience the en-
barrassments growing out of the pack
ers system of paying in checks When
the run began the officials doubled the
force of paying tellers and met all with
drawal demands.
The DrOyerS' Trust and Savings bank
IS located in the same building with
the DroVers' Deposit National bank. its
local correspondent. Its capital is $780,.
600 and its surplus and profits are
named at $50, 600 1t has long list of
depositOrs among the wOrkmen about
the yards and pays per cent interest
on their savings. 1t opened its doors
February 3, 1902, and its last report
June 10. 1904, shows resources and La
billties amounting 10 1855, 500.
There is no truth in the statements
that caused the run said Vice Presi-
dent William "A. Tilden of the bank.
Mr.. Tilden is a brother of the Libbey,
Mcneil & Libbey director, against
whom the run was directed.
We are simply meeting the situation
by paying without question or argu-
ment all depositors who wish to with
draw their money. That is all care to
say"
The other officers of the Trust and
Savings bank are Williams H. Brint-
nall, president; Charles S. Brintnan
cashier. and William c. Cummings, as
sistant cashier.
Mr.. William H. Brintnall is also
president of the Drovers' National
Bank of Deposit. of which William A
Tilden. of the savings bank. is cashier.
Mr.. William A. Tilden's brother. Ed
ward Tilden, is vice president of the
Drovers' National bank. Both banks
are located in the same room and this
fact helped TO give rise to the report
that there a run on the national
bank. The run. however. was exClus-
i've on the savings bank.
The police detail at the bank was
increased at 2 o'clock this afternoon to
handle the crowd which at that hour
extend in a line 200 feet either way
from the entrance and was beginning
to show signs of restlessness.
