FOR CREDIT CURRENCY

duce a Bill at Next Session.

That permanent relief from the
present and future monetary strin-
gency can only be had through
proper system of credit currency
adequate to meet the requirements of
trade, and redeemable in gold coin, is
the opinion of Congressman Charles
II. Fowler of New Jersey, chairman of
the banking and currency committee,
and at the coming session of congress
he will endeavor to have a law passed
providing for credit currency issued
by the national banks.
Congressman Fowler has advocat-
ed for many years credit currency as
a means Of preventing tight money.
Many features of the credit currency
system, were more than favorably
viewed by many members of the
American National Bankers association
at their convention at Atlantic City
last September, Mr.. Fowler said.
Until such permanent relief is
made possible by legislative enact
ment, Mr.. Fowler declares, the situa-
tion must be met by the issuance of
Clearing House certificates, cashiers
checks and due bills of business houses
and manufacturers.
Mr.. Fowler said: THE underlying
business conditions are essentially
sound as evidenced by the increased
earnings of the railroads and the fact
that the value of our agricultural pro-
ducts this year are $500, 100000 more
than last year (Which was the highest
year in our history and were bring
ing TO onr people about $7,000,000, 900.
But public confidence has been great
ly shaken and credit has been seri-
ously affected-therefore, every pa
triotic citizen from the president down
should do all In his power to restore
that confidence which is essential to
national prosperity,
IAN issue Of credit currency ade-
Quate to meet the requirements of
trade and currently redeemed in gold
coin is principle followed by every
civilized country in the world except
our OWE"

hour later police messenger found

| One of the most touching episodes
ever written in a drama is the pa
thetic story of the baby stolen from
the mother by the father, for revenge,
as told by DR.. Snyder, in his As Ye
Sow, which will be presented here
Saturday evening, April 90 The scene
has already lightened one sorrowful
heart, thus accomplishing part of the
good for which the author is striving
in writing this drama. Dora Leland,
the heroine, tells of her little girl who
was stolen from her arms by its selfish
and unnatural father while she was
holding the ministers adopted child
sleeping in her arms. She tells how
she is reminded of her own lost child
In her grief, she says: "John, she
makes me think of my own baby who
maybe is living in rags and wretched-
ness, and maybe is dead" After.
wards, she learns that the very child
on whom she has lavished so much
affection is her own child, who has al
ways been tenderly cared for.
In one of the large audiences that
have characterized every performance
of this rural drama, during its stay in
Chicago, there was quiet, pale-faced
woman who was much affected by this
pathetic story, so realistically present
ed, and sought the author after the
performance to tell him the following
story: "It is like a bit of my own
story. Five years ago I lost a dear,
little girl, in almost the same way,
for I was divorced from cruel,
drunken husband, and the judge de-
creed that the child should be mine.
My husband was much enraged at the
decision and, watching his opportunity,
he came to my home and stole the
baby. I have been unable to find the
slightest trace of her, though I have
searched every Children s home I could
learn of. l understand that my hus-
band has married again, but I cannot
ascertain if the child is still with him
or not. The story, in your. play, of the
little child has brought back my sor-
row fresher than ever. But it has also |
comforted me, for it is possible that
my child if still living may have found
a happy home, where she is as well
taken care of as though I had her my
self. Witnessing your play has been
great comfort to me. You all seem
20 real, " she said, smiling through her
ears

Prescelle at the Auditorium.

Prescelle, the hypnotist and exponent
of mental telepathy, has been enter
tanning large audiences in the audito-
rum this week, the engagement con-
tinuing through tomorrow evening.
The demonstrations have been SINH
lar to those given by Prescelle on his
first appearance here year ago last
fall, but if anything they are more fin
ished and show greater power. The
various antics through which he puts
his subjects are very amusing, while
the more serious portions of the enter
tainments are fully as interesting
Last evening Prescelle hypnotized sew
eral subjects by telephone with appar-
emily as much success as if he had been
on the stage. He is assisted in his
work by Miss Edna May Magoon, said
TO be the best woman hypnotist in New
England
Prescelle is said to have assisted DR..
E. R. Lynch in performing an opera
tion yesterday afternoon, placing
woman in such complete state of
hypnosis that cancerous growth was
removed from one hand without the
aid of any anesthetic.
