Confronted With Hostile Memorial.

'You probably know in a general way of the circumstances under which I was hastily summoned to the office of the President by telephone from the coun- try on the eve of the annual meeting and shortly before the expiration of the trust under which my stock is held, that l was there confronted without previous notice or warning with a hostile memorial of of- fcers and employees which had been se- cretly circulated and in many instances.
 signed under coereive influences that my immediate retirement was demanded un- der threats that I peremptorily refused to retire, and that such refusal was fol- lowed by the immediate submission to the
 board of directors of demand for my retirement and for practically disfran- chisement of the stock of the society 1t may surprise you to learn that the lead-
 CTS of this attack upon myself and the
 society have consistently disclaimed re- sponsibiity for any and all of the news
 paper publications assailing me. and de- flaming the society and the management.
 The plea of naturalization was q mere sham under cover of which it was design ed by these leaders to wrest the control of the society from the responsible hands
 of the most representative body of direc-
 tors in this country and to transfer it to their own grasp through the use Of
 the agencies as instrumentalities.

Resents Misguided Action.

Tn vew of the concessions l have been willing to make for the welfare of the society, l resent your misguided action, taken in utter ignorance of the true sit- uation of which you cannot possibly have accurate knowledge Your request, per- haps unwittingly on your part Is merely another move in the campaign of at tack originally devised When the real facts are known to the polieyholders I believe that all riGht-minded men among them will be as indignant as 1 am with the methods that have been employed by my enemies for their own ends in pursu- ing which they have not hesitated to sacrifice the best interests of the society. and to disregard the propert protection of the policyhoders. Your action, instead of furnishing a solution of the present unfortunate situation, renders the dihi- cutly more acute. 1t is regrettable that in this situation the convention of man. aRers did not take advantage of it's op- pertunity to become factor in promoting honorable peace.
 ''I assume that you have been kept in- formed through the newspapers of the assaults that have been made upon me, but l doubt whether you have been told of the efforts 1 made to avert the injury to the society from these attacks.

THE COUNTY'S FINANCES
Not nuch to Go on Until the Taxes
Come in.

Last Tuesday the county treasury of
this county paid out more for current
expenses than had ever gone out of the
treasury in a single day. something
over 300. This covers the greater
part of the current expenses for the
month 1t has usually happened
that claims are scattered through the
month but in this case the bulk of them
were put in in a single day. When
the treasury was opened in the morn
ing 81 500 was put into the cash drawer
Immediately afternoon another draft
for a similar amount was made on the
vault and wnen the last voucher had
been cashed for the day there were u
very few hundred dollars in the insti-
tuition.
The county is now pretty close to the
shore. There is only about $4,000 in
the repositories and it is doubtful if
there will be anything by the time
taxes begin to come in in October The
usual county expenses would nearly
absorb the amount now on hand and in
addition to them there will be teachers
salaries for the last half of September
and the month of October.
This is not an alarming situation by
any means but on the contrary a rath-
er healthful one since it is SHOWN to
the taxpayers that their money is not
lying about idly.
There is a little back tax money COM
ing in but the stream is so thin that
little account can be taken of it.

suppose that the water is now rushing

Any work that is done on the dam
just now will be under the greatest diff
ficulties and likely when the water goes

to serve the same purposes as before.
Mr.. McDermOtt was asked yesterday
how much time would be required 10

would take at least twenty days. When
the water will recede or if it viii stay
when it does go down are questions no
one can answer. Whether any water

uncertain and whether there win

sion though is that it will be impossi-
Die to divert much if any water into
the canal until the dyke is rebuilt. The
farmers therefore who depend on the
old canals alone for a water supply are
most likely facing a serious situation,
especially those who are pasturing
many cattle and have no other source
of supply tnan the canals for stock
water. Summer crops are well out of
the way and it is yet early for the fall
planting and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the conditions wi llpermit of re-
pairs in time for winter water for crops.

The Interference Of Dandy.
lxyMS eSY l&s5
BIZ EDWARD W. rowHsEND

There were great and happy changes in
the outward and visible signs OF Dandy
when he called on Mr.. Golden Pearley and
Mr.. Landseer Bowsar the morning after his
engagement as their guide. His uniform OF
the messenger service had given place to
a mere civilian dress. yet the civilian who
wore that dress was Dandy-and that made
a difference. His coat and trousers dwelt
about his erect and joyous form with such
intimacy as to recall the practice Of the ex-
cellent Mr.. Brummel of being lifted Into
the neither of those garments. The coat
was distinguished from all others seen by
his friends on the Island Of Manhattan
that day by its aggressive absence of even
rudimentary skirts or tails. Dandy's hat
was peculiar to him; it was new, or at
least little worn, but in a fashion either a
generation too soon or too late. 1t was OF
the derby family, and distinguished by a
brevity and fiatness of brim quite remark
able. had a snug crown and capacity OF
emphasizing it's owners amiable satisfac-
ton with the world as he found 1t. The
shoes Of Dandy were of frank and honest
yellow, and pointed with a superabundant
length of toe, which called to mind the over
hang Of a racing yacht. The youths collar
was of extreme height and enwrapped with
tie of sunset cOlors But best of all was
Dandy's honest face; It's natural keenness

sisted that he, too. take breakfast. urging
that nothing would so surely spoil his days
pleasure as the thought that any of the
party might be suffering from the pangs
of hunger.
Under Dandy's guidance they boarded a
subway train at the nearby station and
changed at the Grand Central station to
an express train. At that point there was
more than even the usual crush, for, be-
sides the exchanging subway passengers
there was rush of passengers from the
steam car terminal above ground, all In a
fierce struggle with the problem of forcing
the in and out bound streams to enter and
go out the same doors at the same TIME.
In all the rush and turmoil the professor
beamed in calm delight upon the lively and
instructive scene, his coat drawn aside from
his ample waist, whereon reposed heavy
and unguarded gold chain. Dandy saw and
mentally commented: What an easy mark
de good man Is naking!' and thereafter
kept his sharp eyes alert He SOON saw
what he anticipated "A stealthy hand
crept toward the entcing chain, there was

owner Of the hand staggered back with a

The professor, who had not even felt the
tug at his chin, and Mr.. Bowsar. who had
seen nothing Of the incident, were much
concerned when a policeman stepped up
and, regarding Dandy with approval said

AS they rushed underneath the streets on
their way down town Dandy entertained
his friends with brief lectures on the local
lty OF the stations and when Mr.. Bowsar
heard that Wall street was then the south
ern terminal of the bore he asked the
professor If 1t would not be polite and
seasonable to call at once on their old
pupil, Mr.. Harry Bullock. The suggestion
was received with marked favor by the
professor, and, emerging into the upper
world at Trinity Church, Dandy soon found
the office of the brokerage firm with which
Mr.. Bullock was connected There MI

are necessary In such an important office

pleased to receive his card, and the office

Haven't you breakfasted yet?' Dandy
asked, having himself patronizingly winked
several times at pretty maid servant who
was clearing away dishes and debris, whose
appearance and extent seemed to tell tale
of wholesome and substantial breakfast.
