The president Of the Paris Chamber
Of Commerce in presenting his annual
report announces that 1906 will go on
record as the type of prosperous year
for France, and states that this Is con-
vincing evidence of the sound basis of
French industry and trade, for this sat
isfactory result is attained in spite of
the Morocco complications, the inven-
tory troubles, the Church and State
conflict, the elections, the Labor Day
agitation and the obligatory one day in
the week rest law. Paris shopkeepers
say that the new years business is
more brisk than for many years past.
Few slips are made by the men in
charge Of the British postoffice savings
bank system, but many curious Incl
dents occur that cause them to be
wary. 1t often happens that bank
books are lost. One lost bank book
disappeared in a storm wave which had
swept away all the effects Of a coast
guardsmau. Another went down the
gullet Of circus elephant; a third had
been eaten by goat, another by pig,
while destructive puppy had rent to
pieces the record of another troubled
depositor. All these losses have to be
investigated and made good. An army
sergeant complained that he had lost
his deposit book while in the act Of

and Medals-Attrsctive
Program.

The sixth annual commencement
OF Villa Maria Ursuline Academy
eliminated in the graduating ex-
ercises held at the opera house yes
terday morning under the direction
OF Mother Superior Evangelist.
An appreciative audience gathered
early and was amply repaid for
Drawing the heat by the most ex-
cellent character OF the program.
There were nine members in the
/ graduating class, and as many
beautiful floral and evergreen
arches were erected in a semi'circle
on the stage, while pot plants and
cut flowers were massed along the
front and otherwise tastefully dis
posed. Legends were suspended
from the top of these arches and
the young ladies of the class oc-
cupied chairs beneath, while other
pupils of the school formed an eff
fective group in the rear.
A magnificent musical program
was given. four pianos aud num-
Der of violins being employed with
fine concert effect. The essays in
cluded the salutatory by Miss l..
Carroll and the chain valedictory
by Misses Carroll, Dunn, Harris,
Japhet, Field and Ward.
The graduates are as follows:
Academic Course - Misses Ellen
Carroll. Susie Dunn, Ada Field,
Mary Harris, Hilda Japhet. Ele-
more Ward. Commercial Course
Misses Letitia Carroll, Elizabeth
Ries. Hatch Music Grades Miss
Anna Saspersen.
The results OF the award OF di-
plomas and medals, in which much
interest always centers, is given in
the program below. At the con-
clusion of the program, Rev. Hayes
of Dallas, delivered an eloquent
and timely address, directed prin-
cipally to the young ladies of the
graduating class.
The close OF the sixth year of
Villa Maria Academy finds the in
stitution in a prosperous condition,
and its steady growth makes more
room necessary than is now avail
able in the beautiful building which
crowns St. Ursula's Hill east of the
city. II is the desire of the ladies
of the community to erect CON-
modious new hall in the time for
the next session if possible. and
funds are now being raised for that
purpose. This effort on their part
is one which should enlist the as
sistance of the people of Bryan in
every way possible. The general
interest felt in this school is abund-
antly attested by the fact that
visitors were here for the COM
mencement exercises from central,
west, south and east Texas.

CONTIGUOUS PLAN
TO MAKE WEEKLY DEPOSITS
IN THE BANKS.
Expected to Relieve Ready Money Scar
city, and So Help the Farmers, as
Well as Business Men.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2~A.-Secretary
Cortelyou has %nounc a radical
change in the Treasury Departments
policy for relieving the commercial
money market in periods of s~tringency.
Beginning with next week, the Treas
ury Department will make each week,
for a period of not less han five weeks,
deposits in national banks at New
York, Boston and other points. the Sc
curity required to be approved being
State, municipal and railroad bonds, ac-
ceptable under the existing requires
ments of the department, with the un-
Outstanding that if called for such de-
posits shall be returned after January
l next. in instalments to be fixed by
the Secretary of the Treasury.
This action is taken to meet the
commercial and industrial needs of the
country at this season, and Is believed
to be preferable to waiting until a time
of acute stringency, when the only
alternative would be a large general
deposit. The latter policy the Secretary
desires to supersede by one which shall
have as it's ultimate object the adjust
ment of the operations of the Treasury
Department as rapidly as may be prac-
ticable under existing laws. in such
manner as shall preclude their being in
any sense a disturbing factor in the
business world.
Mr.. Cortelyou did not intimate the
total amount that he stood ready to de-
post In the banks in the next five weeks
or more, but it is understood that, he
will do everything possible to meet the
stringency of the crop-moving season.
He will use the current customs re-
ceipts and, IL necessary, will supple
ment these by money from the treasury
balance. 1t has been estimated recently
that he could deposit $4O.0 0 900 In the
banks without disturbing his working
balance.

JERSEY CITY TO HELP
IN CARING FOR WAITS.
Board of Finance Concludes Finally to
Give Money to Society for Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children.

JERSEY CITY, Aug. A.-The Board OF
Finance, on the request of Mayor Pagan.
has finally decided to aid the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in
caring for the waifs which come into the
hands from the police department through
the arrest Of parents, being lost or having
run away from home. For two years and
n half these children have been bathed,
clothed and fed at the society's home, at
1853 Grand street. OF which Mrs. Margaret
Read is matron. Some have been taken
care Of for weeks. and months ,5f
For this charitable work the society re-
ceived no compensation from the city, and
1t did not ask for any as long as the peo-
pie of Jersey City supported the home by
their contributions. The work has grown
to such an extent that the income, from
voluntary contributions does not meet the
running expenses Of the home.
Mayor Pagan investigated the work of
the home and went before the Board OF
Finance md recommended that provision
be made to pay for the care of the city's
child dependents. That board recognized
the Justice of this and agreed that it would
provide not TO exceed 5000 in the next
fiscal year to meet all claims passed by the
Board of Police Commissioners for the care
of the children.
There are twenty-seven children In the
home now. most of them police cases, and
In the last two years 525 children have
been cared for there for varying periods.
Counselor Robert L. Flemming is president
Of the society, and other prominent menl-
bers of II are Mungo j. Currie. Robert S.

NEW MOVE TO GUST
SENATOR TOM PLATT
United States Express Company Stock
holders Want, to Elect a Board Of
Directors to Get Rid of Him.

NEW YORK, Aug. PA circular has
been sent to every stakeholder of the
United States Express Company inelos-
ing n blank request asking him to mail
the same 10 Secretary Chauncey of the
Company. requesting n meeting Of the
shareholders for the election of seven
directors. The request is accompanied
by a letter setting forth the fact hat it
has been forty-five years since the share
holders met.
The letter is sent out by the stockholders
committee, which claims to represent more
than n majority of the shareholders of the
corporation. The object of the meeting. 1t
is stated, is to elect a board OF directors
opposed to the Plat management, which
is charged with mismanaging the affairs of
the company.
The stockholders In the circular allege
that the present directors are each get
ting an annual salary of SO, 600, to which
they are not entitled. Besides the whole
board combined, It is charged, holds only
500 shares of the company's stock, whereas
each director should nave 2 per cent. of
the total outstanding stock, which is $l0,-
100000. The American and Adams Express
companies hold 10000 shares between
them. and the minority stockholders think
the company is being run for the advan-
tage Of these companies.

FEARS TRAP
FUGITIVE EX-GOVERNOR OF
KENTUCKY TALKS.
Would Not Return to Native State Ex-
cept Under Conditions That Would
Secure Him a Fair Trial.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 24-William
S. Taylor. former Governor of Ken
lucky, whose %extradition has been
sought by the Authorities of that State
since the assassination of Governor
William Goebel, seven years ago. last
night gave out a signed statement,
which he says is the first public state
ment he has made since leaving his
native State. He first dissects the
promise of immunity said to have been
offered him recently should he testify
in the Powers case, and then makes a
proposal to the Kentucky authorities
to return to his home State and stand
trial on the charge against himself If
granted certain guarantees. The state
ment says:
For more thar seven years I have
borne in silence the ISLANDERS n per-
secutions of those who robbed me of
what heaven knows vas my own and
who, to conceal that crime against lib
erty and for no other reason, indicted
and drove me into exile.
commemorative Attorney Robert b.
Franklin knows that l have fully testi-
fed in the Powers case by deposition.
He knows that he had a right to cross
examine me at the time l gave it, and
he did not do so. He knows that
neither he nor any other officer or
denomination of officers in Kentucky
has the legal power to grant such inn
munity and / would at once be arrest
ed, denied bail, and. like Mr.. Powers,
be subjected to nothing less than a
mock trial by a partisan court, before
a packed partisan jury, and with a
500, 900 corruption fund as a powerful
incentive to conviction.
IF Mr.. Franklin will cause what re-
mains of the $780, 900 corruption fund to
be returned to the treasury of Ken
lucky, no part of 1t to be used in this
prosecution, thus putting my case on
the same footing as other criminal
cases; will guarantee that all trial
juries in my case shall be composed of
six upright Democrats n a like num-
Der of up right Republicans; will guar
antee that bail will be granted me with
in the limits of 500, 900; will dismiss the
indictments against all parties used as
prosecuting witnesses, except myself,
leaving them free to testify without
fear, coercion or restraint, and last, but
by no means least, will in advance, by
mutual agreement, select an able, up
right and impartial Judge to try my
case, 1 will, without any promise of
immunity, voluntarily and gladly re-
turn to Kentucky, not only o testify in
the Powers case, but to submit myself
to trial before a jury of my native
State" tH.s
