NO MORE "PYRAMIDING., :,

One thing has been pretty clearly established by the developments in New York banking. Hereafter the clearing house will not permit the ownership of banks on borrowed mon- ey In other words, the process of pyraniding banks, must come to an end. A capitalist is not to be per- mitted to buy a bank and then hy- pothecate the banks stock for loans with which to purchase another bank the securities of which ara put up for loans with which to purchase another institution and so on, ad inhnitum. If this thing is done the banks must not expect to enjoy the privileges and protection of the clearing house. Chains of financial institutions are one thing but the creation of such chains by the process noted is quite another.
 Altogether, the developments of the past few days, sensational and dis turbing as they have been and full of possible peril, are mighty good thing for the country and the banking situ- ation is iA the way of becoming sounder than ever before.-Wall Street Journal

HUNTING GRI1zLIEs.

I was very lucky about bear; or perhaps, considering my markham ship, fortunate. When I joined Hay he had killed two in the last week; one a big grizzly who had carried off the trap four or five miles. Hay had followed him up; his first shot had hit the grizzly in the chest, the>second broke his neck. He was a boar, and had been fighting rivals so furiously that his skin was quite damaged. It was torn everywhere by their claws and tushes. Only the back was in- tact. This Hay skinned, and used 1t as a rug during my stay in his camp. He said that the deep layers of fat and flesh on him were black and bruised from the smacks his ad- versaries had given hlnn I have nev- CT heard or read of man watching the onset of two boar grizzlies. But if ever any one has, he must have seen the most tremendous duel of the world of animals This beast, for ex- ample, must have been six times as heavy as man, and I imagine could break the neck of bull with one bite The other bear Hay never kill ed at all; she committed suicidel In voluntarily, I must say. Her body still lay where Hay had found her She was not worth skinning, for, hay | ing been dead for 8 considerable time
 her fur had slipped, Any fur ap- pears to moult off within two hours of death. She was very fat, and
 maddened by the torture of the trar she had run herself to death. fol. | lowed the track of the poor beast She had dashed upa steep hill, rolled

 she died suddenly, though I do moi

 on finding the trap gone, had tracked
 her with extreme caution. As he heard no believing, he feared she

THE vIGI1ANr LOUVRE.

Owing to the recent thefts and van~I dalism at the Louvre the guards of that great treasure house of art areq now pushing their vigilance to ex-I tremes One of them had been strain-I ing every nerve all day watching forl a possible thief, when at last hej thought he had caught one. A nani in big ulster was about to leave theI museum and was carrying a bulky) object under his coar. The guard bounced upon him at once and dugj his hands into the mans ribs on both sides to feel what he was carrying. Just as the zealous keeper, had sus- pected the man was carrying a pict- ure The man tried to explain that it
 was copy of one of the small pict-
 ures of Ingres which he had made| some time ago, and of which he hadN come to copy the frame, his professionl being that of a picture-franer Incl keeper was not going to be fooled by1 so bold story. He ordered the mani to follow him to the room of the cur-
 ator, and there the visitor quietly re-
 peated his explanation The curator,
 after looking at the picture, decidedy that it was the original Tngres, which the stranger was trying 10 steal andI at once called in the police, who, del spite the prisoners protestations,! took him away to the police head--0 lquarters Here, for the third time,, the man reiterated his explanation, giving his name and residence, andI stating that only few days ago heI had sold his shop in certain street, The police then did what might have] been done at the very beginning,
 which was to send someone to the
 museum and see if the real Ingres
 was still there. Naturally the orig inal was found In the place where lit 1 had always been. The only satisfa!c-
 ton which the man had when theI curator finally made his excuses wasl to know that his copy was so faithful one as to be taken TOT the original1 by the museum's own expert.--Parisa Correspondence of the London T@le-I graph.

THE FEAR OF LIGHTNING.
Women More Subject to This Dread
 Than Men.

Fear inspired by a thunderstorm is held accountable for the wanderings of the unfortunate Brooklyn teacher, leading to her death in Lake Hopat- cong. Why are women so subject to this phase of nervous terror-though seldom to such extent-from which most men are immune?
 Mountaineers have been known to manifest it. A Swiss guide caught in thunderstorm in the high Alps will bury not only his ice-axe, but his hobnail shoes in the snow and go some distance from them. The thin air heightens danger. Yet Professor Tyndall, encountering violent storm while climbing the Bel Alp and al- most blinded by the lightning thrown into his eyes from the polished sur- face of his axe, records his enjoyment of the experience. "Flash followed flash and peal succeeded peal with terrific grandeur and the loaded clouds sent down dusty strearners of rain. Furious as was the descending shower, hard as we were hit by the lllASu pGllCtS Ol lSS tlliu Wdl6F Il 61l" joyed the scene"
 Women are accounted more devout then men; why, then, their greater fear? The ancients represented Ajax defying the lightning. As a compan- ion picture they might have shown a woman fleeing for refuge into closet or, by curious irony, to the protect ing arm of a man. Is there more of .fatalism among men that they are in different to lightning? For the ra- tional mind there is the consolation that if the bolt hits, the impact will be to sudden for human feeling. And deaths from lightning stroke are rare
 The neurasthenic conditions of city life cannot be held responsible for this feminine failing. It exists as well in the farmers wife, who insu- lates a kitchen table, setting it's legs in glass tumblers, and covers and means thereon through 8 harmless storm.-New York World.

TAFT HURRIED UP.
President Desires His Presence at
 Berlin at Early Date.

Manila, P, T., Oct. 3O.-As the result of voluminous cable correspondence between President Roosevelt and Sec retary Taft, it is understood that the latter will leave Manila on Nov. 2 in order to reach Berlin at the earliest possible moment. It is impossible to communicate with the secretary at present, and the officials are silent re- garding the change in his plans. It is understood, however that he will leave here on the flagship Rainbow. Rear Admiral THemphill received a cable dis patch on Monday asking whether or not he could make the cruiser ready to sail on Sunday He responded in the affirmative and was informed unofi- cially that matter of the utmost im- portance is pending in Germany, and Secretary Tafts presence there is nec- essary immediately.
 The hasty departure of Secretary Taft will cut short his stay in the Philippines one week He originally intended to leave on Sunday, but re- gently changed his plans to permit of a longer stay, so as to clear up im- portant business, The summons he has received from President Roosevelt will cut short the program made for his entertainment in Manila He and his party are due from sagulo tomorrow evening when he is expected to attend banquet in his honor given by the American residents of the city.

VINCENNES CASTLE.
Famous Chateau's Bloody Career
 Here Louis XVII Died.

There is one building in the old Grown property which is now repre- scented by the Bois de Vincennes and the Bois de Boulogne which has so far escaped the inroad of tourists or the reconstruction by State architects. This is the Chateau de Vincennes, which will shortly be turned into a show place for tourists, with a mu- scum of antiquities.
 The first castle on the site was prob ably a combination fort and hunting lodge for Philippe Auguste when he sought the stag and wild boar The name of Philip the Bold is also asso- ciated with the old structure, for he, having reason to suspect Queen Isa- bellas favorite of having poisoned his eldests son, had the culprit tried and convicted at Vincennes and hanged in chains in Paris.
 The present structure was built by Philip of Valois and was first used as an arsenal. and later on made impreg- nable as a fortress, although it still served it's purpose as hunting lodge for royal parties from Paris. Here 1t was that Louis of Bourbon was seized by the courtiers of Charles VI and hurled into the Seine when he declined to show that monarch the courtesy due his rank. Here it was, also, that the English army was driven back by Joan of Arc. Marie de Medica made the castle her permanent residence, and here, also, Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin liked to seclude them selves from their enemies, the latter even ending his life here. The last Condo also died here, and here the Dauphin of France, according to tra- dition, was starved to death.
 During the first Napoleonic era we find the fortress castle associated with the great Corsican in the heyday of his triumphs, for he leaves that dough- ty warrior, Gen. Daumesnil, here as commandant on the eve of his own departure for the Russian campaign. Here, too, in the dark days to follow the intrepid general held out, in 1914, against the forces of the allied armies, even after Paris had capitulated, only delivering up his charge to King Louis Philllpe, who reappointed him to the -governorship of Vincennes for the third time. Once more, in 1S71 did shots re- sound about this feudal pile, hallowed by the great memories of countless generations of French chivalry. It was on a May night, in the year of the Commune; and many hot-headed en- thusiast here paid for his impetuoslty and wild day dreams with his life be- meath these castle walls.--New York,

TWO HORSES BURNED UP.
WestviIle Grocers Think Their Barn
 Was Touched or.

Incendiaries are suspected of having caused a Westville fire that destroyed barn in the rear of 9O6 Whalley ave- nue yesterday morning. Two horses belonging to Mercer & Mcclure, groc- CTS in the village, which were stabled there, perished. Two wagons, har- nesses and hay were also burned.
 The fire was discovered about 12:SO o'clock by Policeman Whildey, who turned in an alarm calling out West ville's force of volunteer fire fighters. The fremen got to work quickly after their notification, but by that time the barn, which was a small structure, was in flames. Adjoining dwelling houses were threatened, but the firemen sue ceeded in keeping the fire from spread ing. The loss is estimated at Sf,OO0. Mercer & Mcclure say that their em- ployes locked the barn up at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday night and they cannot account for the fire, except that it was set.

FARMERS TO THE RESCUE.

Persons who argue that the tremen- dous liquidation now in process in the stock market will inevitably carry with 1t liquidation in commodities and in labor, which may reach the proportions of a serious recession in genearl business, overlook the peculiar economic strength of the farmer, and in consequence his sustained purchas- ing power. This is an agricultural coun- try. Its great products are those of the farm. Its producing millions are farmers, Massachusetts to the con- trary notwithstanding, The American farmer in the great dominating Mis- sissippi valley and throughout the South is exceptionally prosperous. For years he has been getting astonishing ly high prices for series of notably large crops. He is to-day rich enough to hold his products for the prices that he feels he ought to have This would have been impossible a decade ago. The condition of the worlds mar kets or the worlds demand for food in relation to the available sources of the worlds supply assure the Amer ican farmer 8 substantial market for this years crops, and for the surplus of previous years. Americans must themselves eat. It is accordingly un- likely that any business recession would visibly affect home consumption of our great products, since susten- ance is the essential of life iu which people are least inclined to economize and least able to do so effectively Boston Transcripts

PASSING ON A RnY,s mnpcn 1or

PASSING OF A BOYS WORST JOB.
 One of the changes that have taken place within a few years, and which most people have forgotten, is the re- moval of the front yard fence. At one time every citizen who had things as they should be had a fence, picket or otherwise, around his house. either be- cause of cows, or custom, or both. Gradually, as the COW ceased to be driven through the street and custom changed, one person after another re- moved his fence until now they are things of the past.
 And the boys of to-day are spared considerable trouble by this change for every fence had long gate which had to be opened and closed when a team went through, and 1t was the boys duty to be gate tender. Anoth- CT and worse job for the boy was painting the fence. Some manufactur- CTS, in order to show the magnitude of their business, will state that if their yearly products were placed end to end they would reach around the globe, more or less, and tho boy who had to paint a good sized picket fence felt before he got through that if the entire surface could be spread out the two sides and two edges of the pickets, and the top and bottom and sides of the rails, it would go around the globe We speak from sad experience.
 Much the same change has taken place on the farms by the removal of road fence. And the change is a source of profit, for 1t was considerable ex- pense to maintain the fences, and the land that was occupied by them and was lost because of inability to culti- yate up to them is now available.- | Guilford Recorder.
