Control of Lincoln Trust.

A report that the Carnegie Trust Company was
again negotiating for the control of the Lincoln
Trust Company was confirmed yesterday by "A high
official of the former institution This man said
that in reply TO n proposition from tho Lincoln
people FOR Il merger OF the two companies. the
Carnegie company had submitted a number of
drastic conditions which the Lincoln would have
to comply with before the matter would bo con-
sidered. lie refused to say what these conditions
were, but added that he doubted whether the Lin
coin officials would agree TO them. The company
would have to prove that 1t absolutely solvent
before the Carnegie company would agree TO ac-
quire control, but he thought they would have
little difficulty in doing this he said II the merger
should be finally effected. he said Lincoln COM
pany would be liquidated and made branch Of the
Carnegie company
There was a meeting of the board of directors
of tho Carnegie Trust Company late yesterday
afternoon, but IL officially stated after the
adjournment that only routine business had been
transacted. and that the question OF acquiring
control OF the Lincoln Trust Companv had not
como before the board
Negotiations looking TO merger OF the two COM
panies were undertaken last spring. but nothing

LOW RATES IN FRANCE.
Republics Strong Financial Position
Ready to did.

Paris Nov. 1.-The financial writers OF the
weekend articles. which. on account or the nun
days, are published to-day. continue to pe aD-
sorbed in the American situation and the world
wide monetary stringency. The CONSENSUS Is
that the storm is too general to supsiue quickly
and much satisfaction is expressed at FRANCES
strong position in the present crisis. While
every exchange in Europe is feeling the squeeze
in money and has been compelled to raise it's
hank rate of discount, the rate of the Bank Of
France remains at 3la. and money is so plenti-
FIJI that it was loaned privately yesterday at
2la per cent.
All the writer's agree that Frances strong re-
serves will enable her to reap a big advantage
from the present condition. The Bank of France
can not only come to the rescue OF London and
indirectly of the United States. which is good
policy both politically and financially. but more
over such aid will be distinctly profitable. as by
buying sterling time bills the bank both insures
the eventual return of the gold and obtains the
prevailing rate of interest in London, which is
two points higher than at Paris. The high rates
prevailing in Germany, Belgium and Holland at
tracted considerable French money during the
week at 5la and 6la per cent.
The Temps thinks that If tho monthly set
tlement is safely passed on Monday the Paris
Bourse will have definitely escaped the "Ameri-
contagon" and be in a position to under
take some public issues on the most advan-
tageous terms and conditions This may refer
to the desrabilIty Of investing in the new New
York City bonds, handled by the Morgan syn
dicate.
While still differing regarding President
Roosevelts share in the responsibility for the
present crisis In the United States the French
financial writer's do not find any praise too high
for the services of Messrs. Morgan. Rockefeller
and Stillman and other financial leaders who
threw their ability and money into the breach to
stem the panic.

The Soul and the Beard.

In Russia 1t was the common belief
up to the time of Peter the Great that
beardless men were also souIless and
that a man who purposely admitted
having his beard marred could never
1nter heaven. The great Peter above
referred to ordered his heathens to
shave up" so as to appear more civil,

with his edIct he fined the wealthy and
middle classes 100 rubles for each
beard that was permitted to grow and
each peasant and laborer a kopeck fol-
the same privilege Finally the priests
were appealed to. and they informed
their parishioners that unless they sub.
mitted to having their boards shaved
they need not expect that st. Nicholas
the gatekeeper of heaven. would be
able to distinguish them from the
bearded Turks. That had the desired
effect.

Exerci.c For nu,tue.. Men,

The average city business man with
out physical lmpediments to fight
against can probably get along success
fully on such an exercise schedule as
the following:
First.-Five minutes each day Of
purely muscular exercise, such as can
be taken perfectly well in ones room
without any special apparatus.
Second.-Short intervals during the
day of fresh air. brisk walking, deep
breathing. This can all be secured in
the regular order of the days business.
A man can easily spend as much as
half an hour walking out of doors
every day This is for heart, lungs
and digestion
Thlrd.-The reservation of at least
one day a week for rest and recreation,
for being out of doors, for playing
games, etc. This is essential. This is
for both body and mind. A man who
thinks he can get along without at
least one vacation time a week simply
proves his ignorance.-world's Work.
