Institutions That Finance Accounts
of the Big Massachusetts, Mills Are
Experiencing Some Difficulty at
Present.

Fan River, Mass, March 2s.-The
banks that finance the accounts OF the
mills in this city are experiencing
embarrassing conditions growing out
of the tightness Of the money market.
1t Is fortunate for the banks that the
mills are in an exceedingly fiourishfne
condition. for If the reverse were true
Il would be serious handicap for
these institutions. The mills have pail
hundreds of thousands OF dollars on
loans taken out during the past few
months, the revenue coming from the
sales of goods, which have been enor-
nous. With the vast proceeds pour
ing into the banks. they have shown
marked shortage Of ready cash and
the rates OF interest are very high.
The majority Of the banks in this city
are so constituted that the directors
are also heavily interested in the mills
so that there is community of inter-
ests. Brokers who sell cotton to the
mills on time accounts often seek
loans from the same banks where the
mills cafry their regular line Of dis
counts, and if one applicant is denied
the accommodation, the second appli-
cant for loan on the mill accept
ances, they cannot place the paper

Even then she did not suspect that

from the stove during the night, was
responsible for the condition Shortly
afterwards, however. she was obliged
to go outside to recover from the eff

SCORES HUNT.
Father conaty. Says Evangelist Is in
Need Of Prayer Himself.

Grand Forks. N. D., March 23.-Rev
Father Conaty severely scored Charles
N. Hunt OF Minneapolis at ST. Mich
aefs church last evening. Father Co
naty stated that he had been informed
that Hunt had prayed for the pastor
and congregation of st. Michaers
church and had stated in one of his
tabernacle speeches that the members
of the congregation had to give so
much to the priest for the forgiveness
of sins. This statement Father Conaty
characterized as absurd and he ex-
pressed surprise that Hunt should
have been SO ignorant as to make it.
AS to Hunts prayers for the congre-
cation of St Michaeps church Father
Conaty remarked that Hunt needed
the prayers more than the congrega-
'tion.

introduced by Frank ]. Weber of Mill

once put in the hands of a receiver by
the courts. The bill was referred to
the committee on transportation, after
being reported unfayorably from two
other committees, this reference, ac-
cording tu 1egfsIatfev procedure, being
a polite manner of voting down unde-
sirable measures. This bill was the
test of strength of the socialists who
have several similar, but more radical,
measures, and only the socialists voted
in it's favor.

Lack of Tacf.

There are many very good people
people OF irreproachablec character. who
are never liked because of their want
OF tact They are hOspitable and like tc
entertain, but they ask known enemies
to little family dinner. They expose
all their little household economies ia
their guests. They never spoil a story
for relations sake" II guests are of
different religions or politics. they in.
troduce the subjects and give most de-
cided views which do not convince and
only irritate. A lady is told that her
hat is unbeeoming or a man that he
made bad speech. They never have
any appreciation Of the fitness Of
things.
Tact is OF great Importance II one
would be agreeable or retain friends. A
man without tact can never exert a
strong influence. He can never become
a great leader. Tact is needed IN every
calling in hfe.-Philsdelphia Ledger.

Work of Recovering Dead Bodies Pro-

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 16. -Advices
early tonight from Yolanda, near here.
indicate that about sixty men met death
by an explosion in the mines at that
place this morning. Work of recover
ing the bodies is slow, and while humid
reds of miners from adjacent mining
camps are present to assist it is thought
that all of the dead cannot be gotten out
before tomorrow. Only twelve bodies
had been recovered up to six o'clock.
The cause of the explosion has not been
determined. The mine has in the past
been pronounced free from gas. 1t is
supposed that the explosion was caused
by dust.
There was terrific explosion, the
force being seen outside, dust and tim
Der being blown out in great quantities,
destroying small buildings and dwelling
houses nearby. There vas terrific heat
Immediately after the explosion.
Officials Of the company Immediately
took steps to start a rescue party and
get to the men on the inside. The fans
were started up, and other methods
taken to eliminate bad air. Within an
hour fourteen men crawled out of the
mine, and their description of the inside
was heartrending. Several Of these
men were badly burned and bruised.

plosion occurred about two years ago.
