or England made a weekly report Of CON
dition. which was not commonly inter
pTeted AS disclosing an oversrong con
dition- The banks proportion OF reserve
10 liabilities was 36-51 per cent and was
slightly lower even than il was last week
ar the week before.
It was known the bank had taken in on
net balance during the week on Import

sOid. but to-day less than half this en-
iaTgement of cash reserves was shown
and the banks loans were reported as be

II is to be remembered as a counter
balancing factor in this respect that No

to sell the block had been met some
how. and the holders were waiting for
better bids.
Much speculation was indulged in as
tu where the stock came from. Those
who might be expected to know. had
only vague answers to give to the in
quiry. One broker suggested that IL prob
ably came from some person interested
in the Peoples Savings Rank. who was
called upon 10 raise money quickly IN
connection with the payment OF creditors
Of that institution Another said he had
heard that q New York stock broker had
offered the block for liquidation. There
were still other explanations given. al
more or less uncertain and unsatisfactory.
There appeared to be many among the
brokers who would like 10 know the why
aud wherefore of the sale Of so shares ot
the stock at this time.
Trading on the remainder Of the list
was Of perfunctory character. Metro

Imnnre Food in Germany.

Consul General Guenther of Frankfort
writes about the trial of the proprietor of
a sausage factory in Munich, and the YER
diet arrived at. which has been much dis
cussed by the German press and public.
The defendant was charged with violation
of the pure-food laws and it was proved
that in his factory large quantities OF
spoiled hams. decayed sides of pork sau-
sage covers that had been used before, the
intestines of cattle and scraps of meat
which had been designated for dog feed,
and even deleterious parts OF meat ex-
tracted fro,l the garbage barrels, were by
him converted into sausages and sold as
good quality products. In his defeHse other
butchers and trade experts testified that
the use of some of these substances was
customary in sausage manufacture. The
states prosecuting attorney demanded that
the accused be sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment and five years loss OF civil
rights, but the court imposed only fourteen
days Imprisonment and SIS fine This
model sausage manufactures also supplied
the army barracks and other public insti-
tutions with his vicious products.

Agitating Euthanasia.

From American Medicine
Euthanasia still occupies the mind of DR..
Anna Hall of Cincinnati. who has intro
duced a bill legalizing 1t. through epre-
sentative Hill OF the Ohio Legislature Con-
siderable indignation was expressed by sew
eral legislators. who considered it reflec-
ton on their intelligence to be even called
upon to pass upon such an impossible prop
osition. One newspaper has interviewed
numerous physicians in various cities and
recorded a unanimous storm of protest, as
was to be expected. The president of Har-
ward university has placed himself on rec
ord as favoring this uncivilized and. there
fore, inhuman measure and has brought
down upon his head some well-deseryed
seedlings.
There is new phase OF the matter which
has recently been brought out, and that Is
the chance such law would give to muir
der undesirable rich relatives who are liv-
Ing too long to suit their impecunious and
crininally minded heirs. This OF itself
would condemn the suggestion did 1t not
condemn itself for the many reasons we
have already mentioned.
The surprising part of the matter is the
fact that intelligent people can take to such
an unnatural thing. The sacredness OF
every life from the moment Of conception
to Its final natural demise in spite of our
efforts to preserve 1t. that Is the keystone
of civilization. Destroy Il, and the whole
arch falls .-sl-ii

Schooner Went Ashore Twice.

The two-masted schooner James c. Clark,
hailing from bay point, started down the
river last Thursday after discharging
cargo of cord wood here for Fort Myer, and
had just reached the forks of the George
town and Washington channels when she
went ashore. Her crew succeeded In work
ing her afioat and had resumed her trip
when the heavy northwest wind caught her
and carried her ashore the second time on
the flats on the District side of the river,
short distance below the old wharf at
Buena Vista. This time she went well out
in the mud and stuck fast, and. In spite or
the efforts of those aboard her remained
ashore until high water yesterday evening,
when she fioated and for the third
time resumed her trip. Where the vessel
went ashore Is said to be soft mud bottom,
and Ii is not thought she damaged herself
when she struck. The Clark is bound to
the st. Mary's river to load a cargo or
wood for Baltimore.
