quently broken, how much more are
our friends to be congratulated on
their success in matrimony-flfty
years. What long time to look for
ward to, and yet, we suppose our
friends, who celebrated their golden
wedding, look back and think how
quickly the time has flown. Though
changed-as all must be by the flight
of years-yet we are confident their
hearts remain untouched by the nip
ping frosts of time.
True respect and love never grows
old, and as they gather into swelling
sheaves, the golden harvest that USE
full life has sown, we wish their future
may be as bright and unsullied as the
shining present, and that their years
glide smoothly by until they reach
their diamond wedding day.
Friend and relatives to the number
of seventy-f1ve gathered at the hospita-
BILE home of Mr. and Mrs. Alanson
Messenger on West Broadway last Sat
urday afternoon, May 10, 1905, to help
them celebrate their fiftieth anniver-
sary The home was beautifully decor
ated with huge punches of white car
nations, yellow roses and marguerites.
Mr.. and Mrs. Messenger, assisted by
their children, Mrs. Horning Of Pitts
burg, Pa, and Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Messenger of Ottumwa, and Mrs
Mayme Sawtelle of this city, received
their guests and every one felt per
fectly at home"

SOCIETY CIRCLE



The following from the Fairfield
Journal will be of interest to the many
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Messenger,
parents of G. w. Messenger of this
city, who celebrated their fiftieth we'd
ding anniversary last Saturday:
tFifty years, half century.
"This is good while to live, Tor
more than the average of human ex-
pectations, and it seems good while
longer for two mortals to live in mari
tai estate, but just that long have Mr..
and Mrs A. Messenger viewed the
lights and shades of life together when
last Saturday rolled around.
"And if after fifty years of married
life, q couple open their home to their
friends to enjoy their hospitality and
witness their happiness, there can be
no better proof of their peaceful life.
In these days of ill-mated couples
when the marriage is so easily and fire.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK. November 4.-The Financier
says this week: Last weeks official state
ment Of the New York Associated Banks
was Unexpectedly favorable The cash loss
was much greater than was estimated upon
money; loans were expanded to larger
extent than was thought probable, thereby
contributing to an increase in deposits, and
consequently in reserve requirements, and
surplus showed such a great diminu-
ton as to carry 1t to the lowest for the
twelve months period. and. indeed, for re-
cent years. One notable feature was.an ex-
cess Of $o.4e3,9oo loans compared with de-
posts.
The cash loss was 81, 4O5 100, and It was
largely due to the transfer through the
subtreasury of nearly two and a quarter
millions to New Orleans. Chicago and st.
Louis, and to direct shipments by the banks
to these centers. In addition about two
millions were sent to Boston. The loans
were expanded $40. $4,000. making $32. 900.
COO since October Fl, and the deposits were
increased $40 6S6, 200. or $50, 900 GOO since the
above date.
The augmented deposits last week result
quirements, which sum added to the loss
of cash made s10,O76, $50 as the decrease in
surplus reserve to 81, 354,Z I5, the smallest
for the year. The previous minimum sur
plus was 81 ,2S6. 175 in October, 1878.
Computed upon the basis of deposits less
those of $s549, 600 public funds. the surplus
is $4.+01. 675 The daily average of bank
clearings for the week was $685., 900 600
against $3120OO.0O0 in the previous week.
Exchanges reported on Saturday rejecting
Fridays business were $685., O61 $3.50. Com
parsons of loans of individual banks show
that nine institutions increased this item
by $l4.333. 900. Seven banks lost So. SEQ 900
