There is a lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but day and
he prepares for the showers which are
so liable to follow. So it should be
with every household. Dysentry, diar-
rhoea and cholera morbus may attack
some member of the home without
warning. Chanlberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which is the
best known medicine for these diseases,

weeks official statement of the New
York Associated Banks showed a very
narrow margin of reserves; the surplus
was not entirely extinguished, Jas was
expected from the heavy loss of cash,
which was indicated by the preliminary
estimates tended TO relieve much anxi-
ETY.. The cash decrease was $4,369, zoo,
while the majority of the estimates
seemed to foreshadow a loss of nearly
s., 100000 Such estimates were based
upon a drain of about five millions to
the interior. including transfers to San
Francisco and the absorption of three
and two-thirds millions by the Sub
Treasury, making eight and two thirds
millions, was only partially offset by
receipts of new gold through assay Of
fee checks. The discrepancy between
estimated loss of cash and that shown
by the statement is not susceptible of
reasonable explanation. The general
deposits decreased s11,794,500, which
amount closely agreed with the sum OF
the decree in loans and the loss of cash
so that the statement made a good
proof.
The required reserve against depos-
its decreased s2,94S,625, deducting
which from the loss of cash left $1,420,-
476 as the reduction in surplus reserve
to $2,S69 400.
Computed upon the basis of deposits
less those of s1O,313,000 public funds
the surplus is s5,447 $50. Loans were
contracted by 1888, 200, indicating
either free cancellations as the result
of liquidation of speculative accounts
or the transfer OF loans to the trust
companies; the excess of loans over de-
posits was s21,6S2. 400, against 17,2S1,-

RUSH TO GET WORK
IN CALIFORNIA.
Throngs Apply at New
York Quarters of the
Promotion Committee
NEEDS MORE ROOM

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-When a repre-
sentative of The Call inquired at the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel for the head
quarters OF the California Promotion
Committee he was escorted to the
rooms by a grinning bellboy, who
volunteered the information, They
have got the hotel busy Being pressed
for an explanation, he declared with
every evidence of sincerity that there
had been about 1000" daily applicants
at the headquarters looking for jobs.
Worlxingmen they were, of all descrip
tions-hodca rriers. bricklayers, stone
masons, carpenters, plumbers and all
kinds of laborers engaged lin the build
ing craft. This incursion of laborins
men was all due to an interview with
Colvin B. Brown, printed in the Sun. in
which he endeavored to point out the
great scarcity of labor in California
and in San Francisco especially.
AS a consequence the manager of the
California Promotion Bureau in this
city has about concluded to seek other
quarters The hotel is not big enough
nor is it the right sort of headquar-
ters. Brown thinks prominent store
room located on Broadway would be
about the proper thing. 1t would fur
nish a bigger and better advertisement
for California and for San Francisco.
Brown has had a steady stream of
callers daily since he arrived at the
hotel Some have friends and relatives
in California. about whom they wish to
inquire; others come out of idle curl
osity to find out how state and city are
prospecting after so great calamity;
some come to seek employment as day
laborers and many to inquire about
business inducements on the coast and
prospects for it's future. This is why
Brown finds the mammoth Waldorf
Astoria too small for his purpose.
Brown came East armed with a hun
dred or more letters of introduction to
prominent New Workers and has not
had time to present but a few of them.
Brown said today that the New York
papers had been especially courteous
to him. He was debating interviews
to the press and letters to many
anxious inquirers. He was also sort
ing out some half hundred newspaper
clippings. exploiting California and her
industries and dilating upon the great
future of the State and the city of San
Francisco.
fornia will be heavy this winter. In
September the colonist rate Of $50 will
go into effect.
The Wall-street news 'tickers and
hourly news slips devote a good deal
of attention to California affairs and n
good bit of it emanates from Browns
bureau. Anything encouraging from
California is welcomed by the specu-
Istors who are investors in the Pacific
railroads or the San Francisco street
railway stocks. Every scrap of infor-
nation relative to the strike pending
on the street railways is eagerly de-
voured by the anxious spectators and
a lot of them go to Browns headquar-
ters for information.
Thus it appears the bureau is doing
good work both in the world of finance
and in the workaday world, and Brown
is pleased.
