Dissipation.

Paper Read Before the ChIutauQua Circle.
The title word presented to the writ
ere casual recognition, some time ago,
suggested the thought of no serious
difficulty to complete analysis Of its
scope OF application-offered little evil
dence of the multiple labyrinths to
which a study of It's varying phases led.
From the many forms and classifies-
tinns Of the vast schedule, which COM
prises this term; 1 have selected one,
only; being prompted to the choice by
the belief that its treatment might, in
a measure, interest the members of this
circle.
In preparation every statement has
been weighed with discriminative care
every topic subjected to the rigors of
an analytical campaign. Notwith-
standing all precautions errors, no
doubt, abound, but on the whole / be-
lieve that truth has not been juggled
with grievous reck lessness.
1t is not the object of this paper to
diagnose any of the disgusting phases,
which the term, Dissipation, would
prima facie imply but the rather, to an
arraignment of thst form of dissipation
which embodies iaal-directed effort, in

improve or rejuv4nate.

who had retained It and fleeing to
America had secured handsome PEN
sion from Anne-she fearing disclosure
of the incident. In order to be able to
produce the iagrate, according to the
statement, Brown had sent me to de-
liver the package to the Prince while
he remained in O. The wishes of
the Prince were to be sent, by mail, to
Brown; my services TO cease upon de-
livery of said package. A neatly con-
trived scheme, thought ], to enable
Brown and Jones to obtain the re-
wards while was ct hand to bear the
possible consequences of failure.
The hour was three; sat beside q
small table with the open package still
before me; suddenly sound, as of q
person falling against the door, aroused
me from rambling thoughts; hastily
arose, crossed to the door, and opened
it. There lying before me was q hui
man form. Forgetting the open pack
age / summoned aid and we carried
the man into my room and laid him on
the bed. As the light illumed his fea-
lures 1 felt myself growing faint

effects and seated myself beside the

BETTER TONE PREVAILS.
Some Improvement Shown on the
Stock Exchange.

New York, Aug. 24.-The most Sc
rious conditions of the previous week
in the stock market have given way
to a better tone and a marked diminu-
tion of operations. Sentiment appears
to have been favorably affected by the
absence of further liquidation, but the
public utterances of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft were at first
somewhat disturbing. From outward
appearances, however, the market is
gradually drifting away from consid-
erations of political character. More
attention is being given to monetary
conditions. There is a threatened
stringency, not only at home, but In
most of the worlds money markets.
The tightness of money precipitated
another commercial failure during the
week and more are predicted for the
same reason. Time loans are being
made on bases well in excess of nor
NAL rates, and the banks are safe
guarding their reserves in anticipation
OF crop demands.

SEQUEL TO A REVOLT
New York and Bermudez Com
pany Fined Millions.
JUDGMENT IS APPEAlABLE
Action Of Venezuelan Tribunal Is Not
FinaI-company Accused oflFi-
nancins Matos Uprising.

Caracas, Venezuela. Aug. 27.-Three
years after the beginning of the SEN
sational trial of the New York and
Bermudez company for completely in
the Matos revolution judgment has
been rendered against the defendant
company, it being condemned not only
to pay s5,000,0O0 damages, the calcu-
lated cost to the government of sub
DUNG the revolution, but to pay other
sums to be fixed by commission of
experts and which may very likely
amount to $10,000,000 more. The
present Judgment is appealabIe to the
supreme court and from there to the
court of cessation.
1t was from American witnesses
and from evidence taken before Ameri-
can judges in the United States courts
that the Venezuelan government OBJ
tained its most important evidence of
the part alleged to have been played
by the asphalt company In the Matos
revolution, the furnishing OF the
money with which to start the fight.
Commenting upon the courts de-
cision in the New York and Bermudez
company case and on the present at
titude Of the state in supporting the
claim of the same company, signed
article published in the government
newspaper Ell CONSTITUTIONS says:
at now remains to be seen If the
state department will again convert
itself into the protector, defender and
