SOME REAL MONEY PANICs.


Episodes Which Make Recent Incon-
veniences Look TraHtng.
A community which has been con-
fronted with closing Of institutions
where 1t kept its money balances al
ways considers its case one Of unpar-
alleled misfortune, says the New York
Post. Yet there have been 'panics,"
even in recent times, when circum-
stances were more heart-breaking even
than that of depOsitors In the Knicker-
booker and of the dozen other smaller
banks which went down with 1t. The
case of 1857, almost forgotten, was one
In which not only bank deposits, but
the money In the pocket of every indi-
vidual, turned out useless for private
wants. The mood of the man who
nOte-issuing banks under the older sys-
tenn and who searched his pocket book
anxiously to see If his means Of paying
petty bills was suddenly cut off, had a
different aspect even than tO-day's.
Five months after our panic of 1898,
the two banks In the colony OF New
foundland, whose circulating notes
made up the whole currency of the ISL
and, closed their doors, and both were
completely insolvent The community
was literally left without any circu-
lating medium until gold arrived from
England a state of barter existed and
where personal credit did not survive

to buy bread. A full year after that
extraordinary event-the colonial gov
eminent having in the meantime guar
anteed up to 40 per cent the notes Of
one Of the two defaulhng banks-a
man would get, in his daily currency at
st. Johns, bills for SO stamped in red
ink, guaranteed for 81" and they
bought just 81 worth OF goods.

said he was assured that all countries
would participate in the exposition which

rapproachment, which would guarantee
the peace of all the nations.
Minister of Agriculture Matzudka said
the relations of Japan with foreign cOun-

present and they are daily growing more
so. He expressed his special gratifca-
ton at the unofficial intimation that
America would participate in the expo

is FOR REFORMS.
Convention Decides Female Suffrage Can
Be Discussed in Meet
ingS

HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. 22.-The
National Grange, patrons of husbandry,
ended its first annual session today after
sitting ten days. Resolutions were
adopted in favor of the bills of Con-
gress appropriating 10 cents per capita
to cities for mechanical arts high schools.
and 10 cents per capita III rural dis
tricts for agricultural schools. Ae reso-
luton on child labor advocates the har-
monizing Of the child labor and truancy
laws SO that the education of the child
and not it's labor be made paramount.
Resolutions were adopted in favor
of the teaching of domestic science and
manual training in rural schools, as also
were those fayoring the issuing of passes
to blind persons and their attendants
by railroads.
In regard to railroads, the report sub
mitted demanded Of the government
some sort of oversight. powerful enough
to compel obedience and broad enough
to avoid any injustice.
RESOLUTIONS were also adopted advo-
eating the reservation of forests for Ill
time and for their care and management
by the department of agriculture.
A resolution which was adopted, de-
clares:
Whereas, the national grange stands for
the equality of men and women In the
home and grange, and whereas, the national
grange, at its convention, has declared
from time to time in favor Of the equality
of citizens: be 1t

order.

AFFINITY LAW IS DEAD.
New York Police Have Given Up Try
ing to Stop the Soul-Sister
Habit.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Though it has
been in force less than two months the
new affinity law, which was put on the
statute books to stop the souI-sister hab-
it and bring about social reforms and de-
crease divorces, has already become
dead letter. Fewer than twenty arrests
i'll all have been made in the greater city
during the time the lew law has been in
effect. In New York city the police, who
at the outset were active, haev now ceased
almost entirely to make arrests. The
special sessions judges have laid down
the rule that it is necessary to have alb
soute, not circumstantial, evidence 10
bring about conviction under the new
law. AS this was further than the
supreme court in this city had ever gone
in laying down the law in divorce cases
in which circumstantial evidence has
ever been deemed liable to be concIu-
sive-the magistrates and the police were
quick to take the cue.

ALIEN RUSH UNABATING
Probably $4,000 Leave This Country
Weekly for Europe-Taking with
Them Millions in Cash

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-In one of his
speeches some years ago President Ben
jamin Harrison said that the gates of
Castle Garden always opened inward,
never outward. Times have changed
however. for now the out-go of foreign
laborers to Europe, owing to the shut
ting down of industries since the fnan-
cial stringency, has reached such pro-
portions that the steamship companies
are hard pressed to furnish accommoda-
tons for them.
Hundreds of the foreigners have been
obliged to wait until next week because
berths could not be found for them
This week all the big transatlantic
liners raised the steerage rate from $21
to $50, but still the demand for TICKETS
has increased. A representative Of the
steerage department of the Hamburg
American line said that from New York
alone the number of foreigners depart
ing weekly was $4,000, and that $1,000
900 was being taken away weekly by
these returning immigrants either in
cash or in drafts on foreign countries.
