Weaker Banks Recuperating

New York. Oct 30.-The fact that the
weaker banks in this city are recuper-
ating from the severe financial setback
OF the last week or more was clearly
shown today when their balances were
adjusted through the clearing house. All
but one OF the five or six banks whose
position has been regarded as most vulner-
able. had balances due them at the clear
ing house this morning, and the one hav-
ing debit balance owed a very small
sum. Members OF the clearing house COM
mttee declared this TO be the most fa-
vorable showing made by those banks
since the financial stress began and much
qualification was expressed thereon.
The accounts of all members OF the
stock exchange passed the clearing house
OF that institution this morning. 1t was
evident early in the days trading that
the brokers would be able to secure money
on call to supply the days needs, $1,000
900 being offered about IL n. m, vat rs per
cent. This had no takers but the first
loan was made at 80 per cent. The rate
quickly dropped to 40 per cent.

BISHOP BRENT
PLEADED FOR
THE PHILIPPINES

Bishop Brent OF the Philippine Islands,
who Is in this country as a delegate to
the Episcopal convention at jamestown.
Va, delivered an unusually interesting
address at the meeting OF the Church
mems club at the Churchill House OH
Angel street last evening.
After speaking In an ABSTRACT way OF
the duties every citizen owes to others,
he came to the main topic. Americas $
treatment of the Filipinos The bishop
stated that II would be shirking respon-
sibility for the United States TO give up
the islands at the present time. He criti-
cised cur trade relations with the islands
saying In part:
After robbing the islands OF their com
merce." he said I'VE have deprived them
OF any market for their two important
products. The great corporate interests
In this country, selfshly scenting possible
loss TO themselves. have succeeded In Sc
curing the maintenance of the duties oh
the principal exports OF the philippines,
and thus doing them a great injury
II hope this state OF affairs may soon
be remedied, for as a citizen OF the

little CHURCH"
ENDS GRETNA
GREEN CAREER

New York, Oct. 3o.--Eloping lovers ana
ages will no longer find Gretna Green in
the Little Church Around the Corner.
famous throughout the country for the
romantic unions that have been effected
there.
This Is the decision of the Rev Dr.
George c. Honghton. rector of the church.
expressed to reporter.
He has declared that hereafter the
sanctuary over which he presldes will not
be the place for the performance OF Ill
advised marriages nor OF any kind that
connot be considered regular in the full
est sense OF the term.
TO that end DIR. Houghton says that
when IL is possible publicity must attend
any marriage at which he may officiate
henceforth. 1t is his purpose that the
banns shall be published In the old-fash-
ioned way before the ceremony. so that
any third person who may know that
there are reasons why II should not take
place may be able to appear and perhaps
save lifetime OF repentance on one side
or the other.
DR.. Houghton will also refuse TO marry
members OF the Catholic faith because OF
his conviction that they should seek cler
gymen of their own church and because
In such cases second marriage accord
ing to the Catholic ritual is usually DEEM
ed necessary.
Perhaps the most important feature OF
In. Houghton's departure. however Is his
resolution not to marry any person who
cannot prove to his satisfaction that they
are OF the required legal age. or. IL they
are minors. that they have the consent OF
their parents or guardians. 1t is the rec
tors firm belief based upon a long expert
once, that this regulation alone will pre-
vent many unions that should never take
place
II became definitely known here that the
report on financial crisis in Chile was
incorrect. The stock market showed con-
weakness and irregularty with
opening declines on some OF the prom
inent stocks.
INVESTMENT BUYING.
A favorable feature was the tremendous
buying of stocks in small lots for invest
ment. as reported by the big brokerage
houses.
Purchasers are paying cash and the
volume OF business during the rast week
runs well into the millions. Not in a
score OF years has Wall street experienc-
ed such a flood OF investment buying or
ders I'm odd lots. The majority of these
orders are for blocks OF 5. 10. Is and 20
shares, while sales of one and two shares
are being frequently recorded.
w. j. Wollman of j. s. Bache e. Co.
bankers and brokers. said today that the
amount OF such sales by that firm are
between 100000 and $4,000 a day and
that the orders are coming in from al,
parts OF the country. People are buying
stock for Investment in small lots and
are paying cash for them" said Mr.. Woll-
man tolay. This is bringing thousands
OF dollars in cash to the market and Is
assisting materially in relieving the sit

ors"

One Of the curiosities OF the campaign
Is the following circular letter received by
many Exeter Republicans.
ITO the Voters of Exeter:
You have undoubtedly heard by this
time that the Democrats OF Exeter have
found two good men, Edward Cook, Tor
senator. and Charles Sweet for represen-
tative. who would consent to give the
voters OF Exeter one more chance TO
make a fair showing for Democratic can
dldates. This nomination was left TO five
men. Two out OF the FIVE wished to make
no nomination. thinking II so hopeless
Without money and the Democrats nav
ing no money. You can see, therefore,
how unlikely II Is that you will have any
Democratic competition next year unless
you voters see to II that the Democrat
ticket gets at least 80 votes or four votes
for the Democratic ticket for every five
votes given 10 the Republicans. IL means
that q who voted for the Republicans
last year must chanse, over over and vote tie
more than one ticket One ticket means
no need of spending money.
TWO TICKETS MEAN MONEY,
Year before last there was but one
ticket and few voters got 81 apiece.
Last year you had chance TO vote for a
Democratic ticket and nearly all got $40
each.
''If you take Republican money and vote
the Republican ticket II is bribery. A cri-
mlnai offence. II you take the same Re-
publican money and vote the Democratic
ticket Il is not bribery and you are not a
criminal Suppose you had horse worth
one hundred dollars 20 each OF two neigh
bors. These neighbors had crops to get In
which would spoil without tho help OF the
horse. Suppose one neighbor was poor
and had no money and the other rich. III
the rich neighbor got stingy and would
effer you only ten dollars for your horse
would you let him have him or would you
teach him a lesson by letting his crops
spoil and let the poor neighbor save his?
l wager YOU would be too good trader
not TO make the rich neighbor pay pretty

"M|LE-A-M|NUTE
BOAT" SAID TO
Be IN SIGHT

New York, Oct. 3.-That the mile a
minute boat may soon be a reality was
the opinion expressed yesterday by a
party of experts. including naval engi-
neers and yachtsmen. who had private
view and saw a practical demonstration
OF Joseph Turner's invention, the verte-
brate propeller. at 10 Fulton street.
Set In motion by belt gear and driven by
four piston rods which pass through the
stuffing boxts I'm the bottom OF the boat
and are connected TO its hinges the triple
horizontal plates which form the propeller
worked up and down with the sinuous
action OF a FISH. The device Is so unlike
anything presented before for propelling
a vessel and it's merits seemed 30 appar-
ent that the spectators predicted the pro-
peller and it's inventor would speedily be-
come subjects for serious consideration
by all interested in marine or aerial pro-
pulsion, for Mr.. Turner intends TO al O y
his system TO aerial navigation.
Capt Reynold T. Hall, u 8. NJ, chief
OF the steam engineering department at
the Brooklyn navy yard. who was one of
the spectators. said OF the propeller after
ward:
1T looks well and II works well and is
an invention that II seems to me well
warrants a trial in the water. IL has a
lifting as well a propelling motion. and
II has this advantage over the screw pro-
peller that the surface on both sides of
each blade, or plate; Ia efficient for pro-
pulsion. while i'm the screw propeller only
the front surface is Efficient
Commander Emil Thesis, of the same
department at the navy yard, said:
This Is certainly an interesting inven-
tion, and il looks promising. The princi-
pie is a good one and IL may revolutionize
all theories of propulsion"
