WON ANS ARREST.
Reveals Peculiar Case of Destitution
In New York

In New York.
New York, Sept. 2.-The arrest of
Harriet Barnes, in Central park, has
developed a peculiar case of destitu.
tion. The woman is So years old,
a stenographer, and says her parents
reside in Toledo, o. Three weeks
ago she ran out of funds and since
then has lived in the park, subsisting
on scraps thrown away by picnickers.
When arrested for vagrancy, she was
almost famished and slightly out of
her mind from exposure.
Miss Barnes said she came here
a year ago and worked steadily until
April, when she lost her position. Un.
able to procure another, her furniture
was seized for debt and finally she
found herslf homeless and penniless.
Too proud to seek the assistance OF
friends, she wandered about Central
park, and finally was driven by hun.
ger to pick up remnants of lunches
from the ground. During the three
weeks she spent in this manner, the
woman slept in ut-of-the-way places
and washed her clothing in the lakes
at night. The mosquitoes bit her
in frightful manner, and when she
was received at the hospital the doc.
tors said that insects had caused Sc.
rious injury by their poison
Soon as her plight became known
friends came to her aid.

MONEY PLENTIFUL IN BANKS.
Georgia Banks Are More Than Able
to Meet All Demands.
Surance.

W WCCl FAIl GCH1HUOSH
Atlanta, Sept 2.-Reports from all
parts of Georgia are to the effect that
the banks throughout the state were
never in better condition to meet any
coming demands than they are at this
present time, Notwithstanding the re-
port of Comptroller of the Currency
Ridgely to the contrary. More than
this, the bank officials in all parts OF
the state say that the demand this
year for the moving of the cotton crop
as last year because the farmers and
planters have ready money and for this
reason will be able to hold their cot,
ton until the most favorable opportuni
ty for disposing of it, and in this way
any heavy congestion will be avoid,
ed which in turn will, of course, re-
lieve the banks of heavy demands.
Not only have the banks of Atlanta
and Georgia borrowed less money than
a year ago up to this time, but money
was shipped from Atlanta to New
York Thursday. AS another proof
of an easy money market, the rate in
New York this year is 8 and 31a per
cent, where year ago it was per
cent. For which reason if the Geor
gia banks were in great need of money
they would be getting it at great dis.
count over last year But notwith.
standing this easy money market, the
banks of the state have not bedn bor
rowing as much money from the east
this year as last, because there was
more money in Georgia and there was
no need for it.
Another thing, it must be remember
ed that Comptroller Ridgely reports
only on the national banks of Georgia,
which number but 81 out of 327 banks
in the state according to Rand, Nc
Nally & Co.'S bank directory issued
this year, which is everywhere looked
upon as the standard of authority. An,
other point showing the development
of Georgia is the fact that within the
past ten years the number of banks
in Georgia has doubled, while the bus.
mess of the old banks has recently in.
creased.
