A Desperate Case.

A sickIy lady who was visiting a
Minnesota health resort on the ad-
vice OF her physician, was seated at
the table next to a ruddy-faced, ro-
Dust-lookfng young man, says Every
bodys.
'Have you improved much since
you came here?" the lady asked.
"Wonderfully, ma'am," replied
the young man.
And were you in very bad health
when you came?" she persisted.
bad health? Why, a'am, when
l first came here l was probably the
weakest person you ever saw. / had
practically no use of my limbs nor
the use Of single faculty."
Dear, dear! And you lived?"
II certainly did, ma'am, although
you really have no idea Of how bad !
was when / first arrived. I was alb
solutely dependent upon others for
everything, being entirely without
power to help myself. But I COM
me need to gain Immediately upon my
arrival, and haven't experienced a
serious setback since"
Wonderful, wonderful" murmur-
ed the lady. But do you think that
your lungs were really affected?"
"Well, l suppose you'd call them
sound, but they were possessed Of SO
little vitality that If it hadn't been
for the most careful nursing they'd
probably have ceased their functions
entirely"
81 trust you found kind friends
here, sir?"
Indeed / did, ma'am. 1t is to
them and to the pure air Of Minneso-
ta that | owe my life. My father S
family were with me, but unfortu-
nately, my mother was prostrated
with a severe illness during the time
of my greatest weakness
How sad! Surely, sir, you must
have been greatly reduced in flesh
when you arrived here?"
Yes, ma'am. They tell me that I
only weighed nine pounds at the
time Of my birth here"

Fatally Hurt--HOuse Demolished.

SENATORIAL CHATTER.
0. Ii. Martin Announces His Inten-
tions--GoyernOr Ansel Still Quiet.

Columbia, Nov. 13--The announce
ment by Superintendent o. b. Martin
or his candidacy for the Senate was
the talk Of the State House to-day.
Mr.. Martin Is personally very popular
with the officials In the Capitol,
where his genia! manners and warm
hearted methods help to dispel some
or the architectural and professional
gloom OF the big stone house, and he
will be missed when he vacates his
present office, whether 1t be to cheer
the National Capitol with his rem,
nant OF red hair and his accumula-
tion OF anecdotes, or to ruminate on
his farm in lower Richland. Being
somewhat Of philosopher as we'll as
a lover of fun and Of fighting, Mr..
Martin Is prepared to get plenty of
satisfaction out Of his campaign for
| the Senate, no matter who may be in
the race with him.
Governor Ansel was In his Office
this morning attendi:r ? to his usual
duties before leaving this afternoon
for Augusta, and so far as appear
ances went he was not giving a
thought to the Senate or to any Of
the candidates therefor. He had no.
thing to give out for publication to-
day.
There has been very strong inn
preston in the Capitol and in politi-
cal circles generally that Mr.. Ansel
would enter the race for the seat
held now by Senator Latimer, but so
far as any utterance of the Governor
himself Is concerned there Is no rea-
son to predict that he will do SO.

SLAIN BY OLD SWEETHEART
In Presence Of Children, Who Begged
for Mothers Life.

New York, November 9.-Mrs.
Dora Stebel, a pretty matron of thir-
ty-one, was shot down and killed as
she sat at breakfast with her two
young cmildren to-day by joseph
Schmolowitz, an old sweetheart of
hers. because she had refused to an
swer his ardent love letters, begging
her to leave her husband,
> Schmolowitz had waited until Isa-
dor Stebel, the husband of the wo-
man. had left the Stebel home in
Williamsburg to go to work in Man
haitian. Then he rushed up the
stairs, burst into the dining room,
and, without word, drew his re-
volver and fired.
The first shot struck Mrs. Stebel
In the arm and she rose, screaming.
from the table. The children, crying
In alright, grasDed their mothers
skirts. Then Schmolowitz fired a Sc
cond time. The mother fell dead
with bullet through her heart. The
two children, boy and girl Of nine
and seven, lay at her feet as Schmo-
lowitz dashed out of the fiat and
down the stairs. .
The shots had aroused the whole
ne1ghborhood, which is a thickly pop
ulated one, and by the time Schmo-
lo"ltH Teacned the street there was
an excited crowd gathering, and as
he was seen to run from the house
the crowd gave chase. Alexander
Goldstein saw the chase and, leaning
from car quickly, was at the head
of the pursuers and grappled with
Schmolowitz a block further down
the street.
Detectives took him back to the
Stebel home and made him stand IA
cling the body of his victim and her
two children.
The elder Of the chil ren sprang
at the murderer of his mother and
tried to beat lin with his little fists.
In response to questions from the
detectives the boy declared that
SchmolowitZ was the man who had
killed his mother, and this was cor
roborated by his little sister Esther.

RIDGELYS STATEMENT.
Comptroller of the Currency Says
 There Is No Need for Alarm.

Washington, October 23.-Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely late today gave out the statement saying that the general feeling indicates an absolutely sound sit uation, that there was not the slightest need of apprehension about the banks and trust companies of the country, that the banks of the eastern reserve cities have every disposition to ,leave their balances in New York and other central reserve cities, and attributes the trouble in New York to the conditions of a very few concerns discredited by the operations of their officers and to the different prices of stocks and securities as between New York City and the country banks.
 Comptroller Ridgely's statement fol- lows: 'I have talked by telephone today with bankers in practically every large city in reach of Washington, and also with a number of bank examiners. l hear of no trouble whatever among the banks or trust companies outside of New York. The general feeling is that the situation is absolutely sound, and there need be not the slightest apprehension about the banks and trust companies of the country My advices from New York are that all the banks got through the day better than they expected. and that there is now entire, perfect concert of action, so that the situation is well in hand.
 There is every disposition among the banks of the interior cities. as there should be, to leave their balances in New York and the other central reserve cities, and in this way to avoid all the disturb ance possible.
 "rhe trouble in New York has been due to the condition of a very few con cerns which were discredted by the oper ations of their officers; and also to the effect of prices of stocks and securities, which form the basis of such a large proportion of New York City loans, which are now the lowest they have been for many years. while among the country banks Just the opposite is the case. A very small proportion of their loans is based on collateral securities. Mercan- tile, manufacturing, mining and agricul- tural operations are not only now very active. and the price of all commodities high but there is an active demand for material and produce of all kinds, at prices which are very profitable to the producer
 We are now just about at the maxi- mum demand for loans to carry these products in the country, but from now on, within the next 90 to SO days, they ought to be producing large amounts of money which will relieve the banks which have been carrying these loans and within 50 days the country banks ought to be in very easy condition

CRISIS SAFELY PASSED.
Combination of Financiers Will Take
 Charge of All Finances.

New York October 23.-2:0O a. m-
 The crisis in New York financial cir cles was safely passed tonight. After
 prolonged conferences at J. P Nor gans office an organization of the
 presidents of the New York trust com
 panies was effected not different in principle from the clearing house as sociation. It was in the nature of a protective combination. All of the lead ing and admittedly conservative trust companies participated. John A. Stew | art, chairman of the board of United | States Trust company, presided and was elected chairman of a committee whose duties are to be analogous to those of the clearing house committee. A reso- | lution was unanimously adopted pro- | viding for an examination of the vari- | ous trust companies and a report of their funds and recommendations to | the association.
 | Following this organization, which | was regarded as one of the most i'm | portant adjustments ever successfully 1 carried through in New York financial | circles. a report was made to the com l mittee tonight respecting the investi-
 gation into the affairs of the Trust
 Company of America. This report was carefully considered in a prolonged
 conference of the committee and 1t | was apparent that the IfuSt company had ample securities to warrant con- | tinued advences. As a result, the com | mittee representing all of the trust 1 companies of New York unanimously ] agreed to come to the ad of the Trust 1 Company of America by providing such | funds as it needs. There is no reason | to doubt, therefore, that the Trust | Company of America will be able to | meet all demands made upon 1t.
 | At the same time and even more | important, the Secretary of the Treas ury, having satisfied himself as to the | condition of the New York banks, au- | thorized an announcement that he had | directed that government deposits be placed in the banks of the city to the i extent of S25,000,000 tomorrow. These | two measures are admittedly adequate | for all the needs of the banking and trust corporations of New York in the | present emergency
