Shortly after the death of the first Mrs Platt, Mrs. Janeway arrived at the Fifth Avenue hotel and took rooms near the senator's. Mary Donohue. chambermaid looked after the comfort of the old sena- tor, as he did not at that time employ a valet This arrangement displeased Mrs. Janeway, knowing as she did the sena- tors susceptibility to feminine influence Sending for the housekeeper of the ho- tel, Mrs. Janeway accused Mary of im- pertinence and officiousness, and demand ed her discharge

WEEKLY AVERAGES
 OF CLEARING HOUSE

New York November 3.-The statement of clearing house banks for the week shows that the banks held S3,049,775 more than the legal reserve requirements. This is a decrease of $2,623, 300 as compared with last week. The statement follows:

 Ex.-Unlted States deposits, $7,755, ,25O; de- crease $3,Sl9,O75.
 New York, November S.-The Financier says this week:
 Associated banks last week-though dis closing the expected large loss of cash, indicated by the preliminary estimates, which were based on the traceable move ment of money during the week-was more favorable than was looked for in that the surplus reserve was not entire ly extinguished, such extinction having been avoided partly through a decrease in loans, and also because of favorable changes in some of the minor items. It is noteworthy that public deposits were reduced A7S0,700, circulation was aug mented $2,S00100, and loans exceeded de- posits by s9,SA,7O0 more than in the previ- ous week, making almost~the maximum record of such excess this year; the total shown last week being $36,966,SOO
 The cash loss was s7,3i2,O0 coo and it was due largely to the movement of currency to the interior, and also to absorption of money through treasury operations. The

these are just or unjust is beyond my province to determine. l am simply stating facts that to my mind establish clearly that the board of trade member cannot be acquitted of hypocrisy when he as- sumes to eXcoriate the Independent.
 ''rhe statutes of Illinois contain a pro vision that makes it a crime to trade in options that in board of trade parlance are known as puts and calls For twenty years this law has been broken by members of the exchange with a fre- quency that makes the law ridiculous They pay it no attention whatever, ex- cept to adopt eXpedients for giving a gos- samer clothing of legality to their trans gression. The forbidden contracts are now styled 'indemnities,' but whatever the name the violation is clear and glar- ing. And if the minimum punishment for each offense were meted out, the offend CTS would spend the rest of their lives in the penitentiary and still owe the state many years of penal servitude,"

The Sartoris Wedding.

There has been another surprise we'd ding in the Sartoris family. This time it was Miss Rosemary Sartorles, second daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, who married rather suddenly. Her only sister, Miss Vivian, set the example in Coburg, Canada, in 1902, when she mar ried Frederic Roosevelt Scovil of this city, the announcement of her marriage creating as great a surprise as that of Miss Rosemary. She married George II. Woolston of Hibernia, Fla.
 Mrs. Woolston is a granddaughter of President Grant. Her father, Algernon Sartoris, an Englshman, died several years ago. Miss Rosemary Sartoris was introduced to society in Washington on her eighteenth birthday, November 30, 1898, by her aunt, Mrs. Frederic Dent Grant, after passing several years at Sartoris has been living in St. Louis with her daughter, who went abroad year ago to travel with her brother, MT. AL gernon Sartoris, and his wife. She was with them in Italy during the greater part of the summer.
 Almost every season since her introduce ton to society Miss Sartoris was re- ported as engaged, but each time denial of the rumor was made by her family. She is a brilliant young woman and a great favorite in society.
 MT. Woolston is a member of a promi- nent English family, and one of four brothers who went from England to Flor ida some twenty years ago and became interested in orange culture. He is an architect. and for several years has been connected with Carrere Sr Hastings, ar chitects in this city His father was a near neghbor of Mir. Sartoris.

 An hour later Mary was working in the senator's room, when Mrs. Janeway slipped in, closed and locked the door, and said:
 Now Mary, you had better leave this hotel at once. The stolen studs were in your hands last and the detective knows it. If you get out quickly you will be safe. I'll see to that.'
 The girl faced the window and shouted:
 "To the diviI with you Run, is it? Well, I do no such thingi Let me tell you, Mrs. Janeway, who wants to be Mrs. Platt number two that I think I can name the woman who took those studs. Now, open that door, and to the divil with youi'
 Mrs. Janeway beat a retreat, and the indignant housemaid reported the facts to the hotel management.
 There was little work for the hotel de- tective to do. Every clue to the thief pointed away from Mary Donohue, and at the senator's request the inquiry was closed.
