New York, Dec 16.-The eighth an nual meeting of the National Civic Federation was called to order today at the Park Avenue hotel with more than 100 present Men and women from various walks of life were in at tendance. In the absence of President August Belmont, the first vice presi
 dent. Samuel Gompers. called the meeting to order and called upon James Speyer the banker to preside. The subject before the meeting was protecting the peoples savings. Spey- CT, the first speaker favored an elastic currency based on the gold standard.
 Speyer then introduced Andrew Car negie who said: No system of cur
 rency will enable us to escape seasons of depression, failures and losses. Com pers read a letter from Belmont. The letter dealt at length with the recent panic and commented upon certain leg islation to prevent in the future, simi- lar distress. It said that while the writer did not presume to suggest d currency reform measure he would in a general way endorse Hepburn's sug- gestion of last year for a flexible cur rency Belmont advocated a removal of the restrictions with which the law surrounds the secretary of the treasury in depositing treasury balances in na- tional banks, in times of need. Post master General Meyer read a paper on postal savings banks" and said that the scheme was designed to encourage thrift ard econom-. because waste is one of the vices of the nation"

NO EARLY IMPROVEMENT
 OF THE STOCK MARKET
There Will Be No Permanent ReIasa- ton of the Money Situation Before the End of the Year.

New York, Dec. 16.-The oppressive influence of the money situation was discernible today in the stock mar ket. Call money was stiff, rates being higher than on Friday. A slow i'm provement of the banking situation goes on. but little more is heard of the probability of restored easy money market before the end of the year
 Notwithstanding a substantial recup- erati0n has been effected in New York's banking position. the deficit still extends over s4O.O00,000 below the legal requirements. Attention was giv- en today to the annual report of the comptroller of the currency. The dis tinctive part played by the panic

CHARITY WAS JOLItD
 IN THE SOLAR PltxUS
Two Printers Who Answered Humani tvs Call. Got Caught in a Box and Had to Fight Their Way Out.

Charity covers a multitude of sins. but not near so many as two printers say the roof Of the Star lodging house does sinners. And another place where charity is weak is in the impulse it begets for it often sends it's messengers as- tray. Charity last night gave this brace Of printers a bum steer and came near furnishing them with free transportation across the Stygian ferry.
 In some wa- word came to the po- lice that a printer who had worked on an afternoon paper had attempted sui eide at the Star lodging house last evening The story was passed to The Republican of- flee and a couple of printers respond ed to the anonymous cry of distress and Tn short order they were at the Star. Picking their way through the bar room to the office" the booze vendor introduced them to the clerk who directed them through a narrow hall, and across a little courtyard. through the darkness, to a row of shacks on the opposite side. Striking a match they located a big duffer who Sdlu we'll NIldl u At hdul- ODt Ol them explained their mission as one of mercy toward a brother craftsman in distress. while the other was eventual ly able to light the gas after the door had been open long enough for the admission of sufficient oxygen to facil- itate combustion.
 They say they are looking for printer" gurgled the big one to the suicide who lay in bed sleeping off a drunk. Who's printer?" he shouted. as he sat up in bed and showed fight. Lay down, you fool" said the burly attendant. "it may be they are your friends" Throw 'em out" yelled the man. Have you got union card?" demanded the agents of fraternal love and organized mercy, fast becoming red-headed with rage as they failed to detect any typograph- ical brands on the object of their mis- sion and noted a lump about the size and contour of a biscuit on his cheek where some more discriminating and less sympathetic visitor had recently landed with an injection of the Jeffries dope.

 Commissioners Neill. labor cOmmls- sioner Herbert Knox Smith, commis- sioner of corporations. and Lawrence C. Murray. the assistant secretary of the department of commerce and la brr. declined to make any statement tonight regarding the results of their investigations today but from the mine owners association a statement as to their contentious, embodied in their statement to the commission. was ob- tained. The mine owners suggested the bringing of a suit against the Western Federation by the government for a dissolution of the organization as a trust. a combination in conspiracy in restraint of trade among the state, and also the bringing of criminal proceed ings on the same ground. An allega- ton is made that the organization is reasonable.
 The retention of the troops in Gold field sc- an indefinite period was sug- gested for the sake of life and proper ty. The investigation that will be made b. the commission will require at least two weeks time. During that period the control ot affairs at Gold field as sar as the government is con- cerned will be practically in thc hands of the commission. An attempt will be made to start up the Nevada Gold field reduction comDany's works to- morrow morning. Manager Dowlen [ says tonight that he has sufficient men to operate the plant.

Some of them are so horribly mutilated that identification is almost impossible. The hodies of twelve white and seven col ored men have been identified. Ac- cCrding to Superintendent T. C. Huck- abev. the explosion undoubtedly was due to windy shots" Huckabee had just made tour of inspection and congratulated some of the men on the condition of their rooms. A few min utes after reaching the top the eNplO- sion occurred.
 Parties of miners from Abernathy. Searles Davis Creek and Brookwood are here today ready to help in the recovery of those who are still en- tombed. It will be noon tomorrow be- fore all the dead are recovered. There was little evidence of the disaster to be seen from the outside at a late hour tonight.
 Under the supervision of the chief mine inspector, forces are at work clearing away the wreckage The mines go down down 1500 feet. There was a terrific explosion. the force of which was seen outside, dust and tim Der being blown out in great quanti- ties. destroying the small buildings nearby and landing on a station some distance away. There was a terrific heat immediately after the explosion.
 Officers of the company on the scene immediately took steps to start a res cue party to get to the men on the in side. The fans were started and other measures were taken to eliminate the bad air. Within an hour fourteen men had cra"-led Out Of the. mine and their description of the inside was heart rending. Several of these men are badly burned. Two hours after the explosion il was still impossible to venture near the mouth of the mine sn l:y- =&s the air rushing out.

what she thought was due time,
when twelve chicks came fourth.
The little ones were taken from
the nest and cared for. The nine
tardy eggs were left under the hen
that shelmight complete her work.
After some days the eggs were
adiudged chickenless and thrown
in the garden. More than two
days and nights later the churps
of young chicks were heard in the
garden near where the eggs were
placed. Investigation disclosed
two chicks just fsom shells, and

burden with them when they go away
for rest. There must be a change Of
thought as well as scene. For the
farmer there's nothing better than a
glimpse of city life. But the city man
should shun the summer resort. And
that is where he is usually found. He
has no plan about his vacation. Get
away from the crowd. Get back to
nature. Live in the open. Sleep In
the open II you can. Make friends
with the birds and trees and flowers.
Rub up against rural nature and see

singles. Get sunburned, get freckIed,
get tired and then get rested again.
