and thus they are saving the despos'
itors from the consequences of their
own fears and are preserving the
banks ability TO do business in the
normal way. Al the banks are un-
doubtedly solvent, except some OF
the string Of little Institutions which
the copper gamblers and their asso-
ciates have been running and wreck
ing. The great body of the nation

York and the country are sound,

would compel them to take advan-
tage of their thirty or sixty day
privilege off standing off frightened
and demoralized dep ositors
Basically, the conditions in 1907
are widely different from those that
prevailed during the previous
furries and panics. That "endless
chain" of greenbacks which both
cred Cleveland and Carlisle In 1893
and the following two or three
years, and which compelled them to
sell over $500, 900, 900 of bonds for
gold to replenish the treasury reserve
has been abolished. Roosevt t
and Cortelyou have gold surplus
instead of agold deficit to deal
with, and surplus is easier to
handle than a deficit. When Bout
we'll threw 81, 100000 of gold on
the market in Grants first year in
the White House, so as to burst the
Fisk-Gould gold bubble of 1869, he
made large hole In the govern
ment's gold stock, for those were
the days ofirredeemable greenbacks
and the specie resumption act OF
1875, which was to bring all the
currency in the country up to the
gold line in 1879, was still far in the
distance. There is a fixed gold
reserve of $3.50, 900, 900 always on
hard, since the gold standard act of
1000 was passed and many MILLIONS
more of the metal are available for
any uses TO which necessity might
suggest. When the collapse of the
Ohio Life and Trust Company, In
the suamer OF 1857, precipitat ed
the panic of that year, the country
was dooded with wildcat currency,
and Buchanan and his secretary of
the treasury, Howell Cobb, found 1t
difficult to sell bonds at an interest
which would yield the buyer 6 per
cent or over. Those were days in
which the credit of the United
States Government was below par,

WORTH LOOKING AFTER

The Tioga township board report
an apparent shortage of $1,000 in
the township bond fund. And that
thev are unable to account for said
sum and that the books do not show
what ever became of it. The facts
seem to be these in 1896 bonds to
the amount of $40, 900 bearing 7
Der cent interest were issued by said
township in aid of the extension OF
the Santa Fe west.
These bonds were paid from time
to time down to $40, 900.
In January 1906 the township
board met and agreed to refund
these bonds, ten in number, with
AZ per cent bonds, agreeing to
pay bonus of 5000 per bond or
ISs.ooo as an inducement to the
nelder of the bonds to accept the
AZ per cent bonds in the place OF
the 2 per cent bonds.
The discrepancy complained OF is
this. by resolution of Jan. 6, 1906
The board declared that it had on
nand in the county treasury $4,000
OK bond funds with which to carry
| out this agreement. They paid,
| evidently, the 5000 bonus but
hat would leave $1,000 of the $4,000
unaccounted for. The county trea-
urer reports this fund exhausted and
theee seems to be nothing on the
| books to show where it went. We
presume of course this money can
be accounted for and the apparent
discrepancy cleared up by an ex-
olanation from the old board but
they have not left a clear record OF
the transaction.
This board evidently acted within
the law In refunding these bonds at
a lower rate of interest but we very
much doubt the financial wisdom of
The transaction when they had On
hand almost enough money to pay
off half the debt.
Of course the new bonds carry
but half or three quarter per cent
more than one half the rate OF the
old bonds but there is now $40, 900
principle to pay instead OF $4,000
had this money been applied to pay
ing the debt and the annual interest
on the SIo, 900 at the reduced rate
is considerably more than it would
be on $4,000 at the old rate. An
explanation is in order.

GENEALOGICAL SKETCH. The JJaffck Family.


 Burk. in his Landed Gentry of Eng land, says: 'The family of usticks Is of great Antiquity in Cornwall" The lines that he gives are those of Leha Penwarne, and Trenley House. and most of the records center around Bot tallack. St. Just Parish. From the Bol- tailack branch of thfs Cornish family The Baptismal Register of St. Just shows that Thomas Ustick, son of stephen Ustick was baptized November 27 I704." This Thomas Ustlck. who came to America in early life. was the founder of the American family.
 He married in the old Dutch Church. New York. Elizabeth Shackerly. who was baptized in the Dutch Church April lT05. The register of this church con- tains many baptismal and marriage records of the ancestors of Elizabeth Shackerly. and together with genealogy and family history collected from other published volumes. and from private manuscripts, establishes pedigree that begins with Hendrick Van Dyck. Fiscal of the New Netherlands, and extends to the present generation. Hendrick Van Dyck held several im- portant offices under the Colonial gov ernment. and was prominent In thhe Indians wars. Interesting accounts of his exploits are given in both early and late New York histories. but we cannot here review them, since 1t Is the Ustick family that especially engages our attention.
