Il Was Equal in Every. Way to His
Great PrOweSs,

Washington, in 1859, was
chosen by the people of Frederic
county, Va, too represent them
in the Virginia house of bur.
gesses. When he first took his
seat in the house an interesting
incident occurred, which is re-
lated in Wirt's Life of Patrick
Henry" The house of burgesses
resolved to return their thanks
to him in a public manner for
the services he had rendered his
country. and this duty devolved
on his friend, Mr.. Robinson, the
speaker of the house. AS soon
as Col. Washington had taken
his seat, the speaker discharged
the duty imposed upon hmm
with all the warmth of pauegy-
ric which personal regard and
a full appreciation ofihis merits
could dictate. This unwonted
and unexpected honor complete
ly robbed the young warrior of
his self.possessiou. He rose to
express his acknowledgment,
but such was trepidation and
confusion that he could not give
distinct utterance to a syllable.
For a moment he blushed, stam-
mered aud tremSled, when the
speaker relieved him With a
stroke of address that would
have done honor to Louis the
Fourteenth in his proudest and
happiest moments "Sit down,
Mr. Washington" said he, with
a conciliating smile, your mod
esty is equal to your valor, and
that surpasses the power of any
Language that l possess. ="

Loss of City and Country Property at
Wellsville, Ohio,

WELLSVILLE. Ohio, July "a cloud
burst in the country just back of this city
last night sent torrent OF water down
Trotters run that caused heavy loss of
country and city property. Over two hun
dred homes and business houses were flood
ed and foundations weakened SO that peo-
pie would not remain In the houses. The
sewers could not carry off the food In the
lowlands and the water backed over that
part of the city TO a depth OF over three feet
in some sections filing cellars and first
floors. Mayor w. L. Fogo called a special
meeting of the city council to provide funds
for the cleaning OF the city. He put over
one hundred men at work taking tons of
debris from the mouths of storm sewers
1t was impossible for some people to leave
their homes so quickly did the water rise
into the lowlands. Wagons and small frame
buildings were washed into the city from
the country districts. On Buckeye street
the water came down the hillside in such
volunfes that IL pushed its way through the
second-story windows of house. The fam
ily had to fly.
In East Liverpool lightning struck the
Methodist Episcopal Church, but the dam
age was slight. There were several land
slides on the Cleveland and Pittsburg rail-
road near Steubencilie, and many railroad
and telegraph wires were blown down.

APPEAL TO THE BANKS
SECRETARY SHAW URGES IN
CREASE IN SO BILLS.

Secretary Shaw has issued an appeal to
national banks to increase their So notes.
Unless they do so he fears that the strin-
gency in small bills will be 6. series mat
ter. The attention OF Congress was called
to the shortage in small bills, and Treas
urer Treat Joined Secretary Shaw In urging
that some provision be made to take care OF
this condition. Congress failed to do so.
mainly, it is said, because the silver men
wished to force greater coinage of silver
c. I. Failing in this no bill OF any kind
went through. Even in the dull summer
season the shortage In small bills occasions
the treasury great deal of trouble, and
Secretary Shaw is afraid that when the
busy season begins the prospects will be
detrimental to business.
The Secretary's Appeal.
In his appeal to Rational banks the Sec
retary says:
The treasurer Of the United States is un-
able to meet, even at this season of the
year the pressing demand for notes or
small denominations, The coming autumn
VIII greatly increase this demand. In the
absence Of legislation 1 amforced to appeal
to the national banks to use every reason
able effort to relieve the situation. If each
pank Will do Its share, there will be no
difhculty. Failing in this there will be
slight reason to complain of the inevitable
shortage in small bills.
me law permits national banks to issue
one-third, of their circulating notes in de-
nominations of S5. The aggregate out
standing national bank circulation is lit
tie over $500, eco 0O0 one-third of which. or
$l6oWO Geo, might be in ffve-dollar notes.
instead of this maximum there is approx
mately but $4,000, 600 in fves The addi-
tonal $90,O0o,o00 In five-dollar bills now
available would greatly relieve the situa-
ton.
1T must be apparent that there Is more
profit in maintaining circulation in small
ollls than in large. Large bills are almost
immediateiy presented for redemption.
Small bills find their way to the pockets
of the people and remain in circulation
much longer, and only in proportion as they
stay IN use Is their maintenance profitable
issuing notes one day to have them re-
oeemed the next Is Improbable to the banks
ana or no benefit to commerce
The records of this office show that vour
oank has no outstanding circulation in the
denomination of five dollars MAY I not
ask you to give this matter attention. for
oy SO oolng you will not only assist the
community you serve by furnishing your
pIoportlonate snare of small bills but You
VIII hnd 1t more profitable for your insti-
tuition
I wish to call your attention to one other
consideration. If the banks generally will
exercise a little care and pav over their
counters only national bank notes they will
greatly assist in times of monetary ctrin
gency National bank notes are Intended
Tor use, not for holding They are NOT
available for reserve and are vaI,a hie oniy

do not send them in for redemption untiI
