Mrs. Charles J. Martin gave a recep-
ton this afternoon at her handsome
residence, 1900 Mount Curve avenue.
1t was the first large affair Mrs. Mar
tin has given since moving into her
new house, and the appointments
showed exquisite taste. :
Mrs. Martin received alone in the
large drawing room, where American
Beauty roses, Easter lilies and chrys-
anthemums made the floral setting. The
woodwork in the drawing room is Of
Circassian wood, and the tapestries and
hangings harmonic to perfection with
it. On the mantel, which was of Sien-
ma marble, stood a bronze urn with a
mass of roses, and another tall vase
with roses filled a place on. the piano.
The deep English window held Quaint
vase OF basketry with pink, white and
yellow chrysanthemums, and flowers
found a place under the paintings by
famous masters which are hung in the
rooms. 49, 80 r..

James B. Gilfllan, ID. WashbuTn
Jr.; Miss Moulton, Miss Janet Gilfllan
and Miss Leila Winston. In the large
reception hall flowers bloomed in pro.
fusion, the white, yellow and pink of
roses and chrysanthemums finding the
finishings of old English oak an eff.
fective setting; A dragon basin of Jap:
anese bronze held blooming lilies, and
a basket of chrysanthemums rested on
the tall newell post. AS an ornament
for large chest of Venetian carved
wood, a basket with chrysanthemums
was chosen, and the posts on the up
per landing held marble boxes filed
with foliage, which suggested the at
mosphere of the Florentine villa from
which they came. In the writing den

anthemums and foliage. Kate Moulton
roses in a tall basket with few mar.
cissus made the centerpiece on the
dining table, illumined by the warm
light of a jewel-studded lamp. On the
sideboard was basket urn and white

also stood on the cabinet, making a
most attractive combination with the
furniture and the fine tapestries OF

shall provide the country with flex-

wisely be adopted:
(a) Let there be created a central
bark of issue similar to the Bank of
Germany or the Bssss of France: such
bank to deal exclusively with banks;
it's stock 10 be owned In part by bank

he supreme. This central bank shall
issue currency. rediscount for other
banks hold public money. and act as
agent of the government in redeeming
its paper money and making it's dis
bursements.
Or OBJ Let any National bank whose
bond-secured circulation equals so per
cent of it's capital have authority to
issue additional nobes equal in amount
to 35 per cent of Its capital.
Let such additional notes be subject
to a graduated tax as follows: The
per cent per annum: the second 5 per
cent, taxed at the rate OF per cent;
the third 5 per cent, taxed. at the rate
of 4 per cent; then. an issue equal to
10 per cent of capital, taxed 5 per
cent; then an issue equal to 10 per cent
of capital, taxed 6 per cent.
Let the proceeds of this graduated
tax constitute a. guaranty fund, in the
custody of the government, for the re-
demption of the notes of failed hanks.

MARGARET carnesie's Pets.

Little Margaret Carnegie, the de-
mure and retiring daughter of the mil
lionaire philanthropist, seems to take
after her mother. Like the latter. she
is reticent and bashful. She has the
silent manner of an English Child when
in the presence of elders. Thus far she
has not developed the characteristic
pushfulness of her father and does not
dominate the household after the fash
ion of American children Of a certain
set.
She seems to be more at home
among her pets than anywhere else.
Perhaps her shy and retiring dlspo-
sition accounts for this. Chief among
her dumb friends is an enormous Per-
sian cat with tiger eyes and Dundreary
whiskers. The cat is so large that it
looks like a stunted tiger. 1t has j
superb coat of fur, which gives the lit
tie animal wealth of comfort, much
needed in the cold climate Of northern
Scotland.
The two pets which give the heiress
of Skibo castle the best air and sun
light and exercises are pet lamb ana
shaggy Shetland pony. The former is
not a little lamb like Mary's. l think
Margaret Carnegie does not like tiny
animals as pets. In the days when she
had dolls-talking dolls, singing dolls.

small. Furthermore, it is ON record that
she fancied an elephant, and her ia

sented the trunky beast to Central

gest of the Persian species, and her
pony the largest of the Shetland breed.
The little heiress is a perfect water
nymph. The marvellous marble bath
ing basin in the grounds of Sklbo cas-
tie has done it's work. Here in this
salt-sea foam. heated to comfortable
temperature, she splashes and swims
siren-like. Should she continue her
swimming exercises the day is not far
distant when Mr.. Carnegie's own
daughter will be able to win one of her
fathers hero prizes.
Lately little Margaret plays much at
Russian games. These were sent to

Special Currency Colhsnission
Presents Two Plans For
Currenc, }elo.nl
WOULD INCREASE ELASTICITY
Either a Central Bank of Issue Sim
liar to tho Plan in Germany or Right
to Enlarge Present Note Issue-some
Reasons Why Changes Are Needed
Summary of tho Report.

New York, Oct 4.-Either a central
bank of issue, controlled by the gov
eminent or a simple measure charging
the present note issue privilege of ma
tional banks in such a manner that
their right of issue shall not vary with
ownership of United States bonds, are
rency commission appointed by the
New York Chamber of Commerce last
March to inquire into the condition of
the currency and suggest desirable
changes. The report was submitted at
. the meeting OF the Chamber of Com
merce today.
Following is brief summary of the
report and recommendations:
We find that our currency Is serious
ly defective in that its volume does not
vary with the demand, so that the bus
mess of the country is alternately ex-
posed to the evils of redundant and
of deficient supply.
Wnen the need for currency in
creases, as it does every autumn when
the crops are harvested, our banks are
obliged to pay out lawful money from
their reserves, and In consequence to
raise their rates Of interest on demand
and time loans. These operations are
source of real loss to the commercial
and industrial interests of the entire
country. They work injury to our
merchants, to our manufacturers and
to our farmers.-in short, to all class
es of producers.
When. nthe other hand, the supply
of currency Is excessive, as 1t usually
is In the spring, the consequent con-
gestion of banking reserves forces an
abnormally low rate of interest and so
tends to excite dangerous specula :
tive. spirit in our markets and exchang
es.
We believe that this oscillation be-
tween periods of contraction and in
flation is directly caused by the arti-
fetal and unnecessary inflexibility Of
our currency due to restrictions which
are placed by law upon the issue Of
bank notes.
We, therefore, make the following
recommendations:
1. That Legislation be enacted which

Chicago Oct 4-Cattle--Demand
was keenly active for the better class
of native steers, and while there was
no marked change in prices, the tone
was very strong. The strength which
high grade steers showed did not ex-
tend to the common sorts. and those
which had to meet the competition of
western cattle were slow sellers
from the start to the close of the mar
ket.
The market for the $500 and up
kinds is considered by many of the
statesmen to be the highest of the seas
on and there was an air of optimism
prevalent among most of the traders
who have for. some time been antici-
pating a permanently bullish turn in
the market, and who believe 1T has now
materialzed. The decrease of 1850
in general receipts this week has been
good thing. but it was badly needed
to instlll keener tone in the de-
mand.
AS yet the poor common and plain
grassy natives have not felt the I'M
provement in u measure worth brag-
ging about, competition from rangers
keeping prices for them down rather
low, tho there has been less OPPOSE
ton toward them this week than for
the past month, which is rather en-
couraging to the sellers
The best sellers were cattle going
above $3.50 and up to $40. For cattle
above the latter price there was very
conservative demand, which While
strong was not unusually keen. and
buyers fought hard against paying
close up to $500, tho one load landed
at that price and some others made
$6.75@D6.90.
Hogs.
The demand for heavy and mixed
grades was strong at the opening OF the
market, and sales were made which
looked &c higher than the close OF the
previous session, but the tlrmness did
not hold, and late sales were about at
the same levels as those Wednesday,.
Fair shipping demand was IN evidence.
A top Of 6.S5 was paid for butcher
hogs.
A new top was made for the week
at $6.S21a on a load OF prime 232-lb
Missouri hogs Wednesday. These are
a scarce kind under existing conditions
and shippers have to have them. On
the whole, the market averaged about
steady with Tuesday. The run carried
liberal showing of light and bacon
houses were able to put UP their regu-
lation sorts around or under $3.50.

range of $6.4O@6.75, the spread being

upturn in, values of cheap hogs.
Sheep.
The promise of a record breaking
run for the present week was held out
by the continuance Of heavy receipts
this morning. Demand was tame, and
only the very best sheep and lambs
were steady, the market ruling weak
and uncertain during the early hours.

Chicago, Oct. Am increase in the
movement in the northwest had a
weakening effect today on the local
wheat market. Receipts in the north
west markets showed an increase over
those corresponding last week. but
they are still considerable less than the
corresponding day a year ago. Cash
houses were moderate buyers of De-
cember. The volume of trading was
small. December opened at 75k @75a
to 75ss@75%, sold at 1874, and reacted
to 751s. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi

siderable peddlng to get rid of them.
Good strong weight steers OF good
breeding sold freely at S4M425, but the
supply did not include many of that
kind. There was also pretty good
outlet for the 700 to S50-ib cattle
around SO but the lighter common
stockers were not easy to sell even at
very low rates. The inquiry was also
limited for the medium grades selling
at $32bm3.60, Not many buyers were

A decrease of 1890 cattle is noted in
three days supplies this week compar-
ed with a week ago.

gathered in the main alley yesterday

than they held before the oracles got
together
