she distribution of such funds was effected
chiefly after the middle of the week.
The loss of cash was $5,44S, 800 whereas
the majority of the estimates Indicated a
decrease in this item OF less than one and
a half millions; it is probable that some of
the cash loss was brought over from the
previous week and as the transfer of two
millions to San Francisco was made on
Tuesday it doubtless counted for nearly a
full week In the averages.
The deposits decreased S2I, 613 coo. which
amount very nearly corresponded with the
sum of the contraction of $21. go 200 in
loans and the loss of cash, as above so
that the statement made a fairly good
proof. The required reserve against general
deposits was reduced So 903, go, deducting
from which the decrease in cash left 81. 454.-

Computed upon The basis of 50, $50 500 public
funds the surplus is SIS, S7S $50.
THE contraction of S2L259, 200 in loans
probably reflected lquidat ton of speculative
accounts on the stock exchange which was
quite heavy and almost continuous during
the week The daily average of bank clear

banks lost $1,000, 900 net cash.

SOUTH A GROWING FIELD

Washington boomers are correct
in their view that the South is a

great jobbing and shipping business

Reliable statistics show that the actu-
Al wealth of the South is increasing AZ

That the South is destined 10 become

DUKE RECEIVES STING
FOR LACK OF DIPLOMACY

Dukes, English and otherwise, are
in bad odor nowadays because of
stories OF their i'll treatment of
American girls who became their
wives. That dukes can do awkward
things in lines other than their
treatment of their wives is shown
by a story in the Woman's Home
Companion about a duke and the
late Oscar Wilde, dramatist and
poet:
A very noble duke required a tutor
for his two sons. and Wilde was rec
commended. He called, the duke exam
ined him, and seemed favorably i'm
pressed.
But he was a very great duke. with
a very high opinion OF himself, and his
manner grated on Wilde.
The last question he asked the young
man was;
And would you-ah-would you ex-
pect to eat with the family
That" Wilde answered. would de-
pend altogether on how the family be

CLubn1an Flags IbSen;
Browning Also Scored
In Address to Browning Club, Charge is
Made That Morals of Both Were Social
iStiC and Shocking.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-The ever
intricate Browning appeared more intri-
cate than ever when the Browning So
eiety met, for the first time this season.
and discussed his apostleship of individ-
ueiism.
From a scholarly paper read by
Francis Howard Williams. in which
Browning's and Ibsen's interpretations
of the Ego were compared and con-
trasted. IL could only be deduced thai
both these writers were socianstic in
their political tendencies. and that their
morals were absolutely shocking.
Both Deifed Love.
Beneath the psychological subtleties of
Browning and the logical realism OF ID
sen, Mr.. Williams was able. by a tor
tuous process to discover the same dis
regard for laws and conventions.
Both deified love, and set aside the
