During the past two or three weeks over two hundred million dollars were withdrawn from the banks of New York City by deposi tors. It would be interesting and beneficial to know who's who among those depositors. It is very convenient just now to place all the blame at the door of the small de- positors. but perhaps unjustly so. The government should have author ity to investigate in such cases {; and criminally prosecute depositors who withdraw large sums of money from banks to cause bear move ment in stocks or to influence unfa- vorably the financial condition. - Review.

WHITTIER centennial.
One Hundredth Anniversary of the
Poets Birth Is Celebrated.

Boston. Dec. 1.-THE Tooth anniver..
sary of the birth of John Greenleaf
Whittier, which occurred today, was
marked by commemorative observance
in many schools and by literary socie-
ties in many sections of the country.
The centennial programme in New Eng
land, centered about Amesbury, where
the poet lived a greater part of his life.
The anniversary was also observed by
the city council of Haverhill, his birth
place, uniting with the Whittier club
of that city in commemorative exer-
cises and the schools of that city and
Boston closing for half holiday in the
afternoon in recognition of the day.
We cross the prairie as of old
Our fathers crossed the sea
To make the West as they the East
The homestead of the free.
We're flowing from our native hills
AS our free rivers flow;
The blessing of our motherland
Is on us as we go.
We go to plant her common schools
On distant prairie swells
And give the Sabbaths Of the wild
The music of her bells!
Well tread the prairies as of old
Our fathers sailed the sea
To make theWest as they the East
The homestead of the free!
John G. Whittier.

Weather on Voyage.

Grant, Monday Evening, by Wireless,
via Cape Race, N. F.. Dec. 1.-THE
President Grant, which has among it's
passengers Secretary of War w. H.
Taft, Mrs. Taft and their son Charles,
has encountered disagreeable wealth
er which has retarded its progress and
will probably make the steamer a day
or two late in reaching New York.
Since sailing on December from
Hamburg, where the secretary came
aboard. the passage has been rough
and the weather cold. Were due
in New York on Thursday next but
are not liable to arrive in port until
late Friday or Saturday morning. The
Taft party is well. with the exception
OF Charles, who has been ailing for
several days, during which he has
had some temperature. He is better
tonight and in no danger.
Secretary Taft was interested in the
announcement from the White House
in which Roosevelt reiterated his de-
c1sion not to accept nomination next
June The news was received on
board the steamer by wireless tele-
graph but the secretary would make
no comment upon it. He said he had
no information upon the situation at
home.
Secretary Taft addressed a concert
audience in the main saloon last night
The topic of his talk, which was in
formal, was Russia and the Gar"

LOST TWO FORTUNES.
Husband of Grace Van Studdiford
Files Bankruptcy Petition.

st. Louis. Mo-, Dec. 17.-Charles
Van Studdiford, husband of Grace
Van Studdiford, the actress, filed a
petition yesterday in the United States
district court, asking to be adjudged
bankrupt. The petition states that
most of the liabilities are judgments
obtained against the petitioner and
the NJ. A. Wolff Realty company, of
which he was for a time an officer and
active member. His liabilities are
placed at $12,353, while his assets are
only s16S.
As young man Van Studdiford
was considered one of the wealthiest
real estate owners in st. Louis. He
wooed Gracia Quive, a comic opera
singer and they were married. Mrs.
Van Studdiford left the stage and
thew were prominent in st. Louis So
ciety for several years. Through con-
nection with an unsuccessful realty
company Van Studdiford lost his for
tune and his wife returned to the
stage and in two years had won a
second competence for herself and
husband She left the stage again
and they built a country home which
Mrs Van Studdiford named Atlasta
place. They were finally forced to sell
this home and Mrs. Van Studdiford
went back on the stage, where she is

John Browns could do with a pen in
a year. He could not make a speech.
Jim Lane, an anti-slavery Democrat,
could get onto a store box, on five
minutes notice, and do more for the
cause than John Brown could do in
lifetime by speech making. John
Brown was ambitious lawless, and
egotistic. He wanted to be a leader,
but lacked pen, speech and ability.
He never could get but few, very few,
followers, and they were gullible no.
bodies whom he picked up here and
there He was a monomaniac on the
subject of his own Importance, and
who does not get ambitious until late
in life generally has bad attack of
it. Brown was vain. and wanted to
be subject of neighborhood discus
sion His mind had a preposterous
way of working, and he had no
scruples. He made more trouble for
his friends than for his foes. His ac-
tions gave talking points for his
enemies against his friends His
free state colleagues had to be apollo
gists, and many little fictions were in
vented as reasons for his lawless acts.
Finally the Republican party had to
run him out of Kansas. They were
glad to get rid of him. This was
December, 1858. 1t was quite a while
afterwards that he turned up at Har-
per's Ferry. He had there a mongrel
lot of half baked, witless followers,
none of whom were ever heard of

official party, but started at once for

deck of the Mayfiower, wireless
message was placed in the hands of
the president, presumably a last word
from the fleet.
