Isn't il about time that big stick OF
Teddy's was raising a few more bumps
again? Those Wall street. high finan-
ciers have manufactured a panic. cor
rallied the biggest part of the money of
the country and have refused to turn it
loose, even to the extent of neglecting
their debts to the banks and people of
other sections of the country. They, or
some one has persuaded the secretary
to issue treasury certificates and Pan
anna bonds to the tune of $15O,OOO,OO0
and press dispatches indicate that
more than enough money has been
subscribed to take up the issue. Ger
tainly, those fellows in New York al
ready have borrowed $25O,000,0OO of
Uncle Sans money, or have j. on de-
post which is the same thing, and
to the amount of $150,0O0,oO0 on which
they will receive two or three per cent
when that $150,000,O00 will be imme-
lia .ely redeposited so they can loan it
out again at six or seven per cent. Is 1T
possible the secretary has fallen into
a trap set for him? If he has it is al
most a cinch that Roosevelt will bust"
the trap and we hope to hear the big
stick drop with a dull, sickening thud
-sickening for the big gamblers but
reviving for the general public.

According to figures from Washing
ton the national banks have not
reached their authorized circulation
by something over $2OO,O0O,00 The
department has ruled that these new
certificates are available as security
for bank note circulation. Now if the
banks really want to relieve the sit
uation why do they refuse to issue
bank notes to their full authorization?
OF course this has reference to the
large city banks of the east who are
responsible for this NEAR panic"
$200,O00,O00 additional currency added

Churchman's League Lecture.

The second Churchman'S League lecture
of the Eenten series was given last night
at Epiphany Church by Rev. Carl Grammar
of st. Stephens Church, Philadelphia. upon
the subject 1.-The Church in Maryland and
the Middle States Prior to the Outbreak OF
the Revolution"
The lecturer said the district between Vir-
ginia and the middle states had in common
an English origin, as in some of them
other nationalities were soon obliterated-
The people were noted for religious toler-
ance, being in constrast to the two regions
on each side. Reference was made to toll
Grafton under the Calverts in Maryland and
the change in church and state after the
revolution Of 1858 in England. Attention
was also directed to lack of immediate
episcopal oversight there being no bishop
in this country, and the territory being I'M
der the bishop Of London. In fact,
bishop being regarded as a peer Of the
realm as much as a church dignitary, the
people were averse to having one.
The people Of this country during the pc
riod mentioned were regarded as temporary
rather than as permanent residents, and
due attention was not accorded to their
spiritual needs, and clergymen were not
sent out to them. Dr. Bray of Maryland.
recognizing this. instituted missionary work
and brought up young clersymen, who were
sent out into what is now the middle states.
Reference was made to the large in
comes received by the clergy in Maryland.
1t being stated that a rector at Frederick
receiced a salary Of E1,O9O per annum,
equivalent to about $1,000 now.

Workman Severely Hurt.

While working on the elevated railroad at
Sd street and Virginia avenue southwest
yesterday, Rocao Rogenero, thirty-two
years old, of 229 Willow Tree alley south
west, was struck by locomotive numbered
5000 and severely injured. He is confined in
the Providence Hospital with painful
bruises about his body and hips. Unless in
ternal injuries are later discovered, 1t is
declared, he will recover.
Rogenoro did not notice the approach of
the engine until it was too late for him to
escape The iron monster tossed him to the
embankment beside the tracks and he
rolled down about thirty feet to level
ground. Fellow workmen rushed to the aid
of their comrade and he was assisted to his
home few blocks away. Later Rogenoro
was taken to the hospital In the fourth pre-
cinct patrol wagon.

Ice on the Potomac.

The ice formed last Monday night COW
cred the river from shore to shore. and
is reported to extend as far down as the
Kettle Bottoms. 1t is very light, however,
and offers but little obstruction to the
movements of passing steamers, though
sailing craft would have some trouble in
getting through it unassisted by tug.
The steamer Wakefield. from the lower
river. arrived here about o'clock yester-
day evening, and her officers report plenty
of ice over almost the entire route of the
steamer. but ii was not found to be heavy
and she was able to make nearly all her
landings on the creeks along the river.
The report that Brent's wharf on Port
Tobacco creek had been damaged by the
ice has been found to be untrue, and the
wharf is in practically the same condition
that 1t was before the freeze. That was
the last of the wharves reported damaged
by ice to be heard from. and it can now
be stated that there was no damage done
the Potomac piers by drift ice following
the recent freeze.

Charged With Embezzlement.

Upon requisition papers sent here by Will
liam E. Morris, prosecuting attorney for

l.. Edwards, thirty-four years old, was
taken into custody by Detectives Pratt and
Hewlett at a local boarding house last
evening and is being held at the first pre-
cinct station pending the arrival Of an Of
ficer from West Virginia.
Edwards has an Indictment against him
alleging embezzlement of $500 from the

in the requistion papers that he was the
agent of the company for the Clarksburg
district, when the alleged embezzlement &C.
CURED, and since it's discovery he has been
