any European power, he affirmed

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
Morris Wolff,

Morris Wolff aged 33, died Friday aft
ernoon at his late home, corner of Fourth
avenue and Sixteenth street, after a
lengthy illness with tuberculosis. Mr.
Wolff went out to Colorado and other
parts of the west in search of better
health, but in vain, and death came into
the home Friday. Mr.. Wolff was a resi-
dent of Birmingham for a number of
years and had profitable little business
here. The failure of his health blasted
his ambitions in the business world, and
every effort was made to stop the raw
ages of the dreaded disease. He leaves a
mother, two brothers, one of whom is
travelling passenger agent of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad at Montgom-
cry, and a sister. The deceased was
member of Birmingham Lodge Knights of
Pythias, Star Lodge, Independent Order
OF Odd Fellows. Birmingham Lodge B Mai
Birth, the Birth Abraham and other
fraternal organizations. The funeral will
take place this morning at II o'clock from
the late residence of the deceased, the in
terment to be at the Jewish cemetery at
Enon Ridge.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The Birmingham Railway, Light e
Power company must ask the kind in
diligence of the patrons of the cars and
the users of electric lights during the
first two hours of darkness every even
ing.
We are unable to give the public proper
service during these two hours on account
of the crippled condition of our boiler
house. This is IN no way any faui' of
ours, as our contract for boilers and
other boiler house apparatus was made
sufficiently long ago to have been COM
pleted before now, but on account OF TN
avoidable delays on the part of the man
ufacturers and the railroads. we are
forced to ask the kind indulgence of the
public.
We are working day and night with. all
the men that we can possibly procure
and have in the last four days paid $4,000
express charges on four pieces of appa-
ratus for the boiler house ana have or
dered other parts, which will cost over
100000 express charges in order that we
may save only few days delay--the
difference between freight and express
goods from the manufacturers.
The public may rest assured that we
are doing everything in our power to
relieve the situation and will greatly ap-
preciate their kind Indulgence In the
meantime. Respectfully.

STEADY GROWTH

INGS COMPANY SHOWN BY THE
STATEMENT OF NOVEMBER ~.

AS is its custom, the Birmingham Trust

ment Of its condition on November T. the
day which the national banks were
called by the government.
The statement showed that the trust
company maintains its same high stand
ard of available cash, that item footing
UP a total of $l5l5,1l3. So. which is nearly
40 per cent of all its deposits. The require
ments of both the national and state laws
are only 10 per cent of deposits the bank
thus having an excess above legal require
ments of p per cent, nearly million
dollars.
The statement of the Birmingham Trust

also showed a new high water mark in its
deposits, or an increase of 500, 439. 90 over
its last statement, the aggregate being

There is, however, nothing phenomenal
about the growth of the bank, this in

steady adherence to conservative banking

RECIPROCITY LOSES

John A, KasSon Talks of His
Life Work
FOUND SENATE OBSTINATE
Negotiated More Than Dozen Reel
procity Treaties During His Time
Which the Senate Would
Not Even Consider.

|
Washington, November III special)-
John A. Kasson, who perhaps more than
! any other living maniin the United States.
! has devoted his attention to the recipro-
city feature of the tariff has given up his
public work owing to III health. Mr.. Kas-
son is now 81 He was the first assist
ant postmaster general in President Lin
coins administration. and has served in
many official capacities. In 1897 he was
appointed by President Mckinley special
commissioner plenipotentiary to negotiate
reciprocity treatise and IN 1895 he was a
member of the United States and British
joint high commission. which met in
Quebec to adjust Canadian questions.
Importance of Reciprocity Work.
Il have spent a busy life" said Mr..
Kasson, when he was. seen today. Il
regard my work in connection with the re-
ciproclty treatise the most important of
my career, even though through the in=
difference of the senate II came to naught.
In my time / drew zip some twelve or.
fifteen treaties with the'various countries,
all designed to modify the tariffs of the
extreme protectionist on such articles as
did not in any way compete with home
manufacturers. The treaty I negotiated
with France was the hardest and 'the
most arduous work, for If my instruc-
tons and my convictions helped me on
my side the French We're inclined to be
very stubborn, too, but when at last |
completed a treaty whfch'I believed would
have greatly benefited both countries, the
Senate would not even consider 1t, and 1t
died without a hearing.
1.-THE change in the tariff along the
lines on which l worked, must inevitably
come in time, and perhaps it will be in
my time There are certain absurdities
that must ere long be done away with.
Today we are turning out rich men with
out number and as the rich increase so
does the desire for the purchase of those
art treasures of Europe, the possession
of which would intellectually benefit the
nation. And yet. we find that some OF
our millionaires who have bought largely
of aneientand valuable paintings, books,
statuary and so on, are forced rather than
submit to the absurdities of our present
protective tariff to establish houses
abroad. which are the receptacles of these
art treasures.

New York, November 1.-THE Financier
gays this week:
A restoration In the surplus reserve of
the New York associated banks was con-
fdently expected to he shown in last
weeks official statement for several rea-
sons. There was evidence during the
week that the high rate for call money
resulting from depleted local bank re-
serves and calling of loans was attracting
funds of the interior, therefore a gain in
cash seemed to be foreShadowed. The
statement showed an increase of $2S11, 800
In cash, which was little more than
the sum that was estimated upon the
basis of the traceable movements of
money. This gain largely reflected re-
ceipts of cash from nearby interior banks
for temporary loaning and also a re-
turn of flow money from the west. De-
posits decreased $i,274,00O, which amount
is 1891 800 more than the sum of the con-
traction in loans less the gain in cash.
Hence the statement made fairly good
proof. The required reserve against gem
eral deposits was reduced by $1,06S,500
adding which to the gain in cash made
S3SS5,S00 as the increase in reserve to
$2,S1 ,675 surplus against $1,514,l25 de-
fcency in the previous week. Last year
at the corresponding date it may be noted
the surplus was restored to $29l5,150 from
a deficiency of s2,42SSOO in the. week of
November II. Computed upon the basis
of deposits less $14,32OSOO public funds the
surplus last week was s5,95l,SI5. The
daily average of bank clearings was $780,
