Silver Polish.

The above is a common name and
many are familiar with the powder or
polish as it is called, but perhaps few
have any idea as to where it is found.
In the boundaries of Hartwick village,
about seven miles from Hartwick Sem
mary, is the mine said to be the only
one of it's kind known. 1t is found
only a few feet underneath the sur
face and is sandwiched between layers
of clay. In some places it is found
even to the depth of thirty feet and
when first extricated it appears like
blue clay, but after it is thoroughly
5ried it turns to a lighter color. When
6rst taken from the mine it is placed
on a large platform and allowed to
dry by exposure to the air and sun.
Then a temporary roof is placed over
to protect it from tna inclemercy of
the weather. When thoroughly dried
heavy rollers are used to pulyerize it
into the finest dust so perfect that not
a particle of grit remains in it.
Finally it is put into barrels and
labelled 'sand buff" and shipped to the
silver plate manufactures where it is
used especially to FURNISH the meta!
before the silver plate is applied. Its
weight in barrels is about 250 pounds
and sells at 50 end $3.50 per barrel.
Carloads of fhis polish are frequently
sent out from the station at Hartwick.

you go on to ask me how 1 think he'd

"And he's what you might call a
handy boy, Jim is. Groceries and
hardware aren't all he's got in mis-
mind, and he's ready to take hold and

TRAGEDIES OF THE YEAR
The Number Of Suicides Breaks All
Records of the Past.
HOinicides and Deaths by violence Mum.
bored 9212, Against s4S@ in 1904
Highwaymen's Banner Time.

Chicago, Ill.-Unoficial statistics Of
The year show that the number of mur-
1ers and suicides in this country has
greatly increased, and that there has
been a decrease in the number of legal
executions, compared with the number
IF homicides. The homicides and
1eaths by violence total 9212, as COM
pared with 1882 last year.
The startling feature of the record
IS the increase in the number of muir
ders committed by ~highwaymen, being
6S2, against 464 curing 1904. -Four
years ago the number was only 1O3.
Jealousy provoked $40 murders and
liquor GAP. Homicides growing out of
quarrels number Sill. The record of
self-destruction is of the most de-
plorable of the year, the number of
prominent men being much larger than
hitherto. The total is 1882, an increase
OF 542 over the list of the preceding
year. The steadiness of the increase il
indicated in the following table:
In 1899, $40; 1900. 6775: 1901, 7245
1902, 1897; 1904, 924O; 1905, 1882.
The proportion of suicides between
hen and women remains about the
same, nearly twice as many men as
women taking their own lives. Ply
iicians head the list of professional.
men, the number being $40.
The causes were dependency, domes-
lie infelicity, disappointment in love,
IL health, liquor and business losses.
Poison was resorted to in 4732 cases,
shooting in 1851 cases. hanging in
a022 and drowning in S6S.
Ten blew themselves up with dyna-
mite and three stasyed themselves.
The legal executions numbered 1873,
If which fifty-one were in the North
and eighty-two in the South. Seventy
three were negroes, fifty-nine white
men and n a Chinaman.
Mrs. Rogers, of Vermont, was the
one woman executed. Showing the
relative changes OF murders and execu-
dons. it way be said that in 1885 1903
murders We're reported, while the num-
Der of hangings was los, while this
rear 1873 We're hanged or electrocuted
for 9212 murdsss committed.
The number Of lynchings was sixty
six. the smallest number reported since
1885, when statistics were first gath
cred by the press. Of the total number
lynched sixty-fve were negroes. Thir-
y-four We're lynched for murder, fif-
zen for criminal assault and fifteen for
miscellaneous reasons.

BANKS IN MEMPHIS FAA.
Trouble Aseribed to Too Ambitious
Consolidation.
Be Paid and That the Stockholders
Will Not Lose Heavily.

Memphis, Tenn.-The Merchants
Trust Company, the American Savings
Bank and the Mechanics Savings Banl
failed to open their doors for business
in the morning.
The three institutions are related anC

cautions, anticipating a run. No de

The deposits of these two will 20 owe
two millions and the Merchants Bank
will add half a million more.
Felix Pope, President of the trust
company, says that all the depositors
will be paid in full, though the stock
holders may lose a heavy percentage.
President Pope is a large stakeholder
and a director in the other two, and
speaks for them also.
The reason assigned for the failures
is the over confidence and consequent
liberal branching out of the Merchants
Trust Company, which recently alb
sorbed the Memphis National Bank,
taking i've all of its liabilities without
getting all of it's directors, stockholders
and depositors, who were among the
conservative business men of Mem
phis.
Afterward the trust company took
over the American Savings Bank and
an interest in the Mechanics Savings
Bank, without interesting the leading
men of the two institutions.
G. W. Schultz, President of the Mem.
phis Clearing House, who is also Pres.
ident of the State National Bank of
Memphis, said that every other finan-
cial institution here was amply able to
take care Of itself and ascribed the
foregoing reasons as the cause of the
present failures. The presidents and
cashiers of other leading banks here
were in line with the Clearing House

Many good things have been reported
of our noble President, but none more
beautiful than this: On the day of the
funeral of Secretary Hay, the Presi-
dents train left Cleveland shortly after
noon. In the hurry there was no time
for lunch. At Wheelock's Switch the
train had to lay over for a little and
the President asked that the lunch be
spread on a beautiful plot of grass
close by the train. When all were
seated around the cloth, the President
arose to his knees and asked the bless
ing of God on the simple repast thus
prepared. In this quiet, out-of-the-way
place, the President of the United
States, leading his Cabinet Ministers
in asking the blessing of God upon
their food as they We're seated on the
grass by the wayside, is a scene worthy
of the painter, and brings him nearer
to the hearts of the people than many
of the scenes heralded and applauded
the world over.-Nashville Lutheran.
