LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The recent change made by the Bank or
England in the rate of interest for the
stock market in that country calls atten-
ton afresh to the contrast which is pre-
sented in this country in this respect.
Here there is no recognized authority. al
though 1t is claimed that the associated
banks of New York city could perform
similar function. There are objections to
such method of regulating the rate or
interest, although it is recognized that in
really such influence, at least In great
part is already exerted by the New York
banks
The recent high rates of money at the
American financial center Is looked upon
as an evidence of such an influence 1t
has operated to keep speculation in check
at q time when the country banks were
Withdrawing deposits and bank reserves
were dwindling.
The official rate of per cent fixed by
the Bank of England is not much less than
the rate which now prevails in New York.

taken place in the last few days, when

money from New York, It is evident, is
diminishing. and the amount available for
general use is increasing and hence the

1t may be expected that attention will be
turned to the market here more generally

gained in their operations with the SUD
treasury on account of the special govern

import more than $15,OOO.COO, ana the ols-
crepancy between that sum ana the net
gain was of course represented by their d.

have been in possession of very large part
of the government deposits since the OPEN

There were further deposits of govern

AFRICAN SLEEPING SICKNESS
Dreaded Disease Makes It's Appear
ance on Persons Returning From
Dark Continent
Special Cable to the Herald.

special Cable 10 Inc Herald
LONDON, May 1.-THE authorities
are investigating the death Of John
Mahon. one of the first English vic
tins of the dread African malady
known as sleeping sickness" which
so far has baf1ed science and is still
classed as absolutely fatal
Two years ago Mr.. Mahon was su-
perintendent of the botanic gardens at
Entebbe Uganda, when he was bitten
by the fly which carries the trypano-
somes, or germs, of the deadly disease
He was invalded from an underlined
complaint, which proved, after some
months residence i'm England, to be
the dreaded sickness.
For the first eighteen months after
his return he performed some light
duties at the colonial institute. After
that the torpor which is Characteristic
of the disease seized him and he went
to university college hospital for treat
ment. From the first IL was known
that his case was hopeless, but every
thing possible was done. A man who
saw Mr. Mahon during the latter
stages Of his Illness describes him as
lying in a bed in a bright sunlit ward.
curled up on his right side, his face
almost hidden in the pillow. His
cheeks were flushed and sunken and
he was breathing heavily
His wife, who was present at the
bedside said the gentleman, ire
marked to me that she had practically
lost her husband: it was only the form
of him that lay there, although she
quite believed that Mr.. Mahon knew
her voice. AS a matter of fact he
stirred in his stupor as she was speak
ing to me- Poor Mr.. Mahon was
wasted almost to a skeleton, in fact,
a mere mass of skin and bones. This
is one of the phases of the latter stage
of the disease. Nasal feeding was re-
sorted to in his case\ from the time
the more serious symptoms began"
Lieutenant Forbes Tulloch has been
invalided home from Entebbe suffering
from the same disease.

ANGELS WOULD NOT STAY

Brunette Seraphs
Special Gable to The Herald.


MADRID, May 12.-Is Princess Marie
Theresa, King Alfonso's sister, going to
get a divorce from her husband, Prince
Ferdinand of Bavaria? 1t is whispered
here that she is, and the whisperers al
ways finish that statement with a nod
which says palmer than any words
could say it: Serves him right, too"
Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria Is a
handsome fellow with three fads. He
loves mechanics in any form.
He's an expert on absinthe and he
says that it's a mistake to make angels
in the pictures blonde. All the angels
he has ever known are brunettes.
He spends his time running engines
of various sorts, adding to his knowl-
edge in the absinthe line and paying
court, it is said, to various angels of
many different complexions.
Marie Theresa is a good Catholic and
she may not be able on that account to
get a real divorce, but a separation she
is certainly going to try for. She is a
typical Spanish beauty with pair Of
eyes that can look daggers or smile
with saccharine sweetness, as her mood
happens to be.

PARIS, May IAN important de.
cision affecting the sale of thorough
breds in this country has been given
by the third chamber of the Paris court.
Madame MYRTLE Beer bought eight
race horses for $4,000 from Comte
de Bressen. The purchase was
made last May, and it was
stipulated that the count should
be able to buy back the animals and
to bear all the necessary costs of the
transaction. AS the count did not show
had the horses sold at Cheri's In Octo-
Der last. Before doing this she tried
unsuccessfully to get the stud book cer-
tificates of the animals AS the result
the sale did not come up to her expect
ations and she sued Comte de Bressen
for $4,000. She also sued for a smaller
sum M. Aumont, who refused to give
up the certificates of one of the animals.
The court ordered the count to pay $500
conjointly with M. Aumont. The judges
further decided that certificates are
necessary in the case of race horses
offered for sale as under the turf code
only horses and mares born and trained
in France, whose pedigrees are in the
English or French stud book are all
lowed to enter for events. The Judges
specially set forth that in the case OF
Beer against Bressen and Aumont the
absence Of due certificates deprecated
the value of the animals offered for
sale. Both Comte de Bressen and M.
Aumont have to pay the law costs in
connection with the action.

LONDON FACES AN EPIDEMIC
County Council Admits That Water
Supply Is Tainted With
SEWAGE
Special Gable to The Herald.

special CaDle 10 Ine Herald.
LONDON, May ia really serious
question confronts the people of this
city in the matter of impure drinking
water. At the present time there is
reason to believe that London is in
actual peril of an epidemic of disease
from drinking sewage polluted water.
The danger affects directly the whole
of the east end, with it's millions of
working inhabitants, who, in the pro-
portion of one-third of the whole popu-
lation of London, draw their drinking
supplies from the mains, of the old
East London Water company, now
taken over by the water board So
serious is the situation that the water
board has presented a bill In parlia-
-ment to enable 1t to remove the pol
luton from the sources of supply. The
water board has confessed that 1t Is
supplying East London with sewage
infected drinking water, and has asked
parliament to sanction the expendi-
ture of $3,500,O0O in placing the intake
several miles higher up the river in
works for the publication of the water
from sewage.
Sir Alexander Binne, the distirf-
guished consulting engineer, who form
erly was chief engineer to the county
council, declared at dinner given in
his honor this week by the Municipal
and County club that time will come
if the present state of affairs continues
"when there will arise among the
teeming millions of London an cpl
demic which will startle the world"

West End estate agents all agree
there is an unprecedented number Of
stables to be let. People are giving up
their carriages and pairs and are going
in for automobiles said one agent
You see 1t is much cheaper and not
so much room is needed for an auto
mobile as for horses and carriages, and
they are much less trouble. Many
people hire electric broughams for the
season and have them kept at garage.
A good many stables are being convert
ed into garages, but there are many
more stables empty than are needed for
such use"
Another agent said; "The automobile
has reyolutionized the habits of FASH
ionable people. Many more people live
out Of London and a great many who
come up for the season instead of taxi
ing house, as formerly, go to a hotel.
Hotels now are so comfortable and
charges are so moderate that people
find 1t cheaper and more convenient.

NICE, May 12.-The Casino at Monte
Carlo has had a record year. The
banks winnings amount to $50,000
more than last year.
The remarkable fact is that, not
withstanding that all this money has
been lost by the public, so many of
the public should be winners. Some
never lose! True, it is but seldom that
visitors have the good fortune of the
young Pole. Count Jean Sobransky,
who recently, late in the evening, won
$4,000, from which he made a large
present to woman who brought him
luck.
Perhaps nothing amazes the novice
more than to see punter leave his
pile Of notes untouched on the table,
The punter has won again, and the
croupier picks up the notes and counts
them deliberately, spreading out each
note in front of him on the table--re-
places them on.the winning color, takes
$2400 from the packet on his right, and
again counts solemnly $240O and throws
them on the top of the punter's packet
Where is the punter? Why does he not
takes his money? He has actually gone
to another table and is punting there
also. Will he be back? No; and the
deal goes on, and perhaps the pile is
again increased by another $2400.
