PASSES THE DIVIDEND.
Tonopah Company, Plans to Pay Its
Debts First.

Philadelphia, Dec. 27.-The direc-
tors of the Tonopah Mining company,
of this city, whose property Is located
at Tonopah, New, passed the dividend
on the stock of the company at its
meeting today. The par value of the
stock is 81 a share and recent divi-
dends have been at the rate of 25 cents
quarterly. The stock sold as high as
SCI a share but has been steadily de-
clfning, the low point in recent years
being reached today when the stock
sold at 43-4.
Accompanying the announcement
of the passing of the dividend was a
statement that the company has an in
debtedness of $57S,240 and the direc-
tors deemed it wise to defer the pay
ment of dividends until this debt is
cleared. The net earnings for the
quarter ending November 80, are
stated to have been 1901, 500.

WENT TO THE RACES.
Admiral Evans Men Saw American
Horses Win.

Port of Spain. Dec. 27.--The captains
Of the American battleships and their
stats were entertained at luncheon by
Sir Henry Moore Jackson, governor of
Trinidad, and later were the guests of
the governor at the horse races. The
weather was ideal and the race course
was thronged with officers and men of
the fleet together with a holiday crowd
from the city.
American horses carried off the hon.
ors, being winners in nearly all the
races. and the visitors gave themselves
over to applauding these victories in
an appropriate manner.
Owing to the fact that the ships will
have finished coaling by noon, thou
sands of the blue Jackets will be given
shore leave. Most of them undoubtedly
will find their way to the race track,
where the contests have been more
than ordinarily exciting.
The tender Yankton of the auxiliary
division having taken on supplies, will
leave for Rio Janeiro today In advance
Of the fleet. The collier Marcel1us, which
arrived here December 1S from League
Island navy yards, will start on her
return trip today.

City, and placed in JAIL The loot Sc
cured amounted to about $2,50O of
which $1,000 was in silver.

been identified as Clyde Reed, son of a
respectable farmer, near Edgerton. He
is IS years old

of papers on special topics, the making

ARMORIAL BEARINGS.
And the Law Relating to Them in
Scotland.

There are many descendants of Scot
fish families living in America who are
entitled to bear arms and exhibit on
their goods and gear representations OF
the armorial ensigns Of their families.
At one period, however in Scotland's
history-in 1592-the people disregarded
the heraldic law, and a general abuse of
the practice of bearing arms and coat
armor without royal sanction fol-
lowed.
The right to bear arms in Scotland is
regulated by statute. AS long ago as
1892 an act Q2 James VI, e 12O was
passed which gave jurisdiction to Lyon
King of Arms to deal with the matter.
In tones of the gravest reprehension
the preamble calls attention to the
great abuse that has been amongst the
lieges of the realm in their bearing of
arms, usurpand to themselves silk
armes as belongs not to them, so that
it cannot be distinguished be their
arms CUBA are gentlemen OF bluid by
their ancestors, nor zit may pc decerned
quhat gentlemen are descended of noble
stock and lineage" The king purposes
to deal stringently with such scandal

remeid quhairof.'' the act continues

BANK TO REOPEN.
Depositors Grant 1t a Year i'm Which
to Pay Out.

Kingston, N. Y, Dec. 27.-Supreme
Court Justice Belts has rendered a
decision permitting the Hamilton bank
of New York city, now in the hands
of a receiver to reopen.
The Hamilton bank, after paying
out during the panic, $1,50O,0O0 closed
it's doors October "a. On November
,16, Attorney General Jackson applied
to Justice Belts for-receivers for this
and five other New York and Brook
Ign banks. Temporary receivers were
appointed for all.
On December 8, counsel for deposit
tors and stockholders, presented a
plan for resumption. which provided
for payment to depositors as follows:
Ten per cent on demand, 10 per cent
in go days, 10 per cent in six months,
so per cent in one year. More than so
per cent of the depositors had signed
this agreement.
Yesterday was the date of the ex-
piration of most of the sixty day
withdrawal notices required by the
savings banks at the height of the
panic in October but scarcely a de-
positor called for his money. The
banks expected few demands as they
were convinced the feeling of financial
unrest was practically over. In most
cases today's Withdrawals were more
than offset by deposits.

power and commission to Lyon King
Of Arms and his Brethren Herauldes to
visit the hill armes of Noblemen,
Baronnes, and gentlemen borne and
used within this realme, to distinguish
and diScerne them with congruant diff
ferences, and thereafter to matriculate
them in their bulks and registers and
to put inhibitions to all the common
sort of people, nocht worthy be the lave

Soveraine Lords use; and likewise I'M

the use of the said Lyon and his
brethren Herauldes; and fallze1ng or
payment thereof that they beincarcerat
in the nearest prison upon their saw1n
charges during the pleasure OF the said
Lyon
This act gives no power to the Lord
Lyon to grant arms to any one who Is not
already entitled to bear them, put only
authorizes him to make a visitation and
inspection. Its provisions, however, were
never properly carried out; the same
abuses continued. and in 1872 another act
was DasSea w w fha assM of arms
This new statute is a very important
one, for it conferred on the Lyon the right
to grant arms to "virtuOuS and Well-de-
serving persons who had not borne them
previously, on their applying to him for
patent. 1t re-endCCS the peHdIlleS VI SS-
cheat and fine, but makes no mention of
imprisonment, SO the penal system or
Scotland was mitigated to some extent:
All those with a right to bear arms are
enjoined to send an account of them to the
Lyon clerk, SO that they may be entered
in the heraldic registers, which are to be
respected as the true and unrepealaole
rules of all arms and bearings OF scot
land. In strict law. then, no one has the
right to bear arms whose name and en-
signs do not appear in the registers. This,
however. may be too rigid a view, for sew
eral of the Oldest Scottish families are not
to be found there, either because they
never took the trouble to enroll them
selves or because the books containing the
record of their arms have been lost.
Though there is something to be said Tor
such families refraining from making ap-
plication for grant of arms at this time;
there is no excuse for people who cannot
boast such an ancestry. These should
either convince the powers that be that
they are entitled to the arms they use,
and register them, or, If that is imposs1-
BILE, apply to the Lyon King for an :ap-
propriate grant. For to bear arms with
out legal sanction is no sign of gentiity,
but piece of vulgar ostentation.-New
York Tribune

DISCUSSES 1.-THE LID. I"
Mayor Haines Says 1t Is a Manifesto
ton Of the Peoples Spirit.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 27.-Mayor J.
7. Haines of Minneapolis at the an
nual banquet of the Minnesota Sons
of the Revolution in this city last
night spoke on THE Lid"
There are laws never enforced"
he said, because the executive from
the national president to the most OBJ
scure president of a village feels in
stinctively that such legislation does
not reflect public sentiment But
when the proposition comes to a le-
gal question, the laws on the statute
book must be observed. The lid,
speaking broadly with reference to
the term and including all legislative
enforcement, is simply a manifesto
ton of the spirit Of the people. We
have a federal lid, national laws hav-
ing been dug up and enforced in the
last seven years. Prohibitionists
have jumped at their opportunity and
have landed on it.
''In many respects the country
wide movement came none too soon,
there will be reaction, but with each
halt the cause will have been found to
have advanced"
