ISSUE CANAL BONDS
$50, 600, 900 WORTH FOR SALE
BY CORTELYOU.
A PANACEA FOR THE PANIC
Plan Of the Secretary of the Treas.
ury to Bring Money Out Is
Endorsed by President.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1S.--Secre-
tary Cortelyou last night made the
important announcement that as q
means of affording relief to the
financial situation the treasury would
issue 100000 of Panama bonds and
$100,000,000 certificates of Indebted
ness, or SO much thereof as may be
necessary. The certificates will run
for one year and will bear 3 per cent
interest, and the bonds per cent
The secretary's action In coming to
the relief OF the financial situation
meets with President Roosevelts
hearty approval, and the plan is the
outcome OF the several White house
conferences which have bten held
within the past few days when the
financial situation was under con-
sideration.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
Panama bonds will afford most SUBJ
stantial relief, as the law provides
that they may be used as a basis for
additional national bank circulation.
He also states that the proceeds from
the sale of certificates can be made
directly available at points where the
need is most urgent, and especially
Tor the movement of crops, which he
says, If properly accelerated will give
the greatest relief and result in the
most immediate financial returns"
The secretary calls attention to the
attractiveness of the bonds and certi-
hcates as absolutely safe investments.
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him to
meet public expenditures without
Withdrawing for chat purpose any ap-
preciable amount of the public money
now deposited in national banks
throughout the country. Two trea-
sury circulars. one inviting proposals
for the Issue of the bonds, and the
other asking for the certificates, will
be sent out under date of Nov. 10.
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou
approving the treasury plans, Presi-
dent Roosevelt states that he has
been assured that the leaders in con-
gress have under consideration cur
rency measure (which will meet in
permanent fashion the needs of the
situation, and which | believe will be
passed at nearby date after con-
gress conyeaes two weeks hence
The president also calls attention
to what is needed most at this time
is that the people should realize
how fundamentally sound business In
this country is and how absud It is
to permit themselves to get into a
panic and create stringency by
boarding their savings instead of
trusting perfectly sound banks"

A balloon has sailed the air from
England to Sweden, crossing the North

Old "Broadside" Recently Found u
Boston Compares Oddly with

ahs Present Day.

An interesting example Of the meth
Cd Of putting important news before
the public a century ago was found in

Gently turned up in a secondhand
book dealers shop IN Boston.
Any printer, whether he issued a
newspaper or not, got out broadsldes
in those days, whenever he thought
an extraordinary piece of news iusti-
fed him in anticipating a profit The
broadside was a sort Of handbill,
printed on one side only, and gener-
ally about 5 inches wide by Is long.
This was sold in the streets.
The subject of the broadside mem
toned above was a hurricane which
swept the Massachusetts coast a few
days prior to Oct. Is, 1904, the date on
which the broadside was issued. The
heading is Violent Storm" under a
black cut of the North church with
its steeple topping, above which is a
row of collins. The rules are turned,
giving a mourning effect. The ac-
count of the storm begins as follows:
"On Tuesday last a violent storm
commenced here, and ragged until
Wednesday morning with unprece-
dented fury and destruction.
"The damage which has been sus-
tanned by this tremendous hurricane
is very great and extensive. The fol
lowing particulars are subioined, viz:
The steeple of the North church was
blown down and several other
churches damaged. The brick wall
of a house in West Boston blew over
and killed a young woman by the
name of Lydia Bennett and badly
wounded two or three more.
Many houses were unroofed and
several new buildings were SO much
bent and twisted that they must be
taken down-chimneys, trees. etc.
