For instance in connection with the expected call of the comp troller of the currency for reports or condition of nationad DanS . tn"ro n,,re rency which served to raise the pre- mium early in the week.
 With the issuance or the call o1 tne comptroller for conditions or tne panks there was a relaxation In these condi- tons and the supply Of bank credits became appreciably increased. banks invariably put out Greai1s mors rsnar3 ,r9e to the comptroller, but in this instance there was the additional influence or the strong position of banks outside the central reserve cues, to wecn the comn. mns troller. The banks of the country either actually beleaguered by right ened depositors or In dread or sucn d continnency has tended to fortiiy themselves to the limit of their apiii- ties by withdrawing deposits itr ron central reserves. The rusn to "sn draw these deposits and get them into their own custody. precipitated the re- sults now SO well known.
 The most immediate consequence 10 the country of this revolution or GUS tomary arrangements of bank deposits is seer, in the figures of November bank clearings, which fell 29.2 per cent com pared with November of last year.

 The causes which produced these re- sults are seen to be in course or cor rection in the easing of money rates' the decline in excessive premiums on exchange at interior cities, the reduc. tion of the premium on currency ana the passing of the fears Of depositors regarding banks.

MATRIMONIAL EVILS
LEATHER MsDONALD TALKS PLAIN.
 LY ON DIVORCE.
The Subject of the First of . Series of Leetures to De Delivered at
 St. Peter's Catholic N 9.s. Church.

Rev. Father Mcdonald, of the Laza- rest Mission. now at St. Peters Catho- lic Church. delivered the first of the series of lectures for Catholics and their non n-Catholic friends last night at o'clock at the church. The lecture was we'll attended and the congrega- tion throughout the discourse listened with the closest attention.
 Father Mcdonald took as his subject Christian Marriage" and dwelt at some length on the evils of legalized divorce. This legalized course of ac- ton the Father declared to be the fun damental evil of society at the present day just as it was at the time that Christ came upon this earth nineteen centuries ago.
 He said matrimony is a great sacra- ment. because it is the foundation of the home. and on the home all society depends. Marriage Is the oldest, the closest. and the strangest personal union in the world, was created by God for the extension, stability and welfare of the human race. When Christ came into the world He found society sick unto death. pofygamy. divorce. conju- gal infeIicity had eaten as moral can cers the vitals from beneath the fair est exteriors of ancient civilization.
 Divorce in many ways" the speaker said, "enters into the plan of the Chris tian home. It is legalized concubinage, licensed immortality. flood gate thrown open to passion and sentiment, the worst social plague in America. In the name of liberty. it operates for H. cense. It is destructive of the home life and of the security and interest of child life.
 Many marriages prove unhappy be- cause the contracting parties have un- worthy motives. The preparations are vicious and the life afterwards is against the moral law, and to these causes can generally be traced the sor- rows. regrets and infelicities of married life.
 "A union begotton in romance, senti- ment and caprice. contracted by sin, stained hearts and consciences, nour- ished by crime against the race, can produce no peace or happiness while just God reigns over society,"
 He said that the principle of Chris tian matrimony should be reason and enlightment by Faith, its vows should be pure, its fidelity sacred, its honor and glory, Its purpose the rearing up of good members for society.
 At the morning service at St. Peters Father Lee preach ed on the reasons for honoring the Mother of Jesus.
 The subject for the lecture at the services at the church this evening will be Christian Education"

Amuned nj Ryan.


 Manager Babb and others in the South are amused at the manner in which Jimmy Ryan. the famous orig inal Chicago White Stocking under Anson. and present manager of Mont gomery's Southern League team, has gone about bagginG talent for the next Montgomery squad and as rule the majority think that Ryan has un- derestimated the strength of the South ern.
 Ryan has signed a bunch of semi pro. baseball talent that he has been playing with in the Windy City on Saturdays and Sundays. Al Demaree and Tom Messitt. a star battery of the Lawndale Club in Chicago; Edward Almquist, Eddie Bassett, Dutch Wohle- ben and others with amateur or semi pro. reputation, have been signed to start the Southern campaign.
 Rabbit Plass and others, who have seen the skirmishes on the lots and in the semi-pro. parks of Chicago. can not see anything to enthuse over in Montgomery's prospects,. They, with one accord. seem to think that Ryan who has never seen a Southern League game. has underestimated the class playing tn the circuit.

in his anxiety to rescue some Of the

being perforated by the outlaws bull
let's. He does not show in the picture
