Cleveland Pleads for Honesty.
Ex-President Cleveland opened his
speech with a strong plea for honesty
and integrity in the insurance bust
ness, telling the presidents they could
not afford at any time, particularly
during the present searching investi-
cations by legislatures, to lose caste
before the people through broken prom
Uses or delusive misrepresentation

companies should be absolutely and
disinterestedly devoted to the interests
of the assured" he said And the re-
lation between the policy holders and
their companies should be friendly,
trustful, and cooperative. Laws pro-
fessedly regulating life insurance
should BE free from senseless resent
ment, predatory acquisitiveness, or
demagogic appeal"
| Mr. Cleveland said it would be folly
to blink at or avoid the disgraceful
fact that the dislocation of these ideal
conditions began in the 'faithlessness
of those occupying places of greatest
influence in life insurance circles who
invited discredit and humiliation to
some of the largest and strongest COM
panies in life insurance by their lead
ership."

This dispatch is significant. as Wis

Kaneko said:
president Roosevelt always is the
firm friend of Japan. and he brings
out before the world what Japan is
whenever the opportunity offers. His
message of 1906 eulogized Japan in
words which have become a classic with
the Japanese people. This year again
he has clearly stated the position OF
Japan, and his message in relation
thereto is commented upon everywhere
with appreciation and joy. President
Roosevelt's message is regarded as in
dicative of the true spirit of the Am
erican people, depicting the character
of the true American, who says what
he thinks and does what he says"

sURNAMEs NOT USED BY KINGS
Only Christian Names Signed by
Members of Royal Houses.

The origin of most royal houses was
similar throughout Europe, and kings
and their families, speaking broadly,
never had or used surnames. They
signed their Christian names alone.
So universally was this the case
that it became rigid etiquette that
person of royal birth should not use a
surname, though there have been num-
bers of cases Of dynasties, like our
own Stuarts, like the Bernadotte dy-
nasty of Sweden or like the Bonaparte
family, who unquestionably and in
dubitably had inherited surnames. But
it has always been puzzle why the
cadet members Of our own royal
house do not subscribe themselves as
peers by their peerage designations,
as do other peers.
However, the fact is they do not,
but it has not been discovered what
are the rules which govern their sig
natures. The sovereign signs by the
Christian name and usually adds "R. :"
or r. and L" Princes and pr1ncesses
sign by their Christian names and
sometimes, but not always, add the
letter ''P." When or why this is added
or omitted is not known.
But the habits of royalty lead 9TH
ers into strange happenings. There
was an occasion upon which Queen
Victoria after a function" was asked
| to sign a visitors book. Her majesty
write Victoria R. and l." Princess
Henry of Battenberg then wrote
Beatrice P" The turn Of the local
mayoress came next and she signed
Elizabeth" The surname was hastily
written in the following day, but too
late TO prevent the story gaining cur.

IS HOST OF NIMRODS
Roosevelt Swaps Stories of
Chase at Feast in the
White House.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 6.-Thrilling
tales of the chase were told tonight
in the state dining room of the White
house. Surrounded by boon compan-
ions of the gun and rod President
Roosevelt snapped stories of exciting
adventures. Looking down from the
walls were the stuffed heads of moose
and other animals which served IS
mute witnesses to the proves of the
chief executive.
The occasion was a dinner the pres
ident gave in honor of the men who
helped him get a bear in Louisiana
recently. There were present others
who took part in the unsuccessful hunt
near Smedes, Miss. several years ago,
and a few who never hunted at all and
who served as the audience. The list
as revealed by one of the guests was
as follows:
Olive Metcalf Harley Metcalf John
Osborn, Tom Osborn. John NJ. Parker.
Major Amacker, Mr.. Vesey. Postma ster
General Mayer, Assistant Secretary of
State Bacon, Secretary Loeb. Clifford
Pinchot, Representative Ransdell. J. NJ.
Dickinson, Col. Cecil Lyon, Capt. Fitz-
hugh Lee, Surgeon General Rixey.
Bear as Piece de Resistance.
The services of the last named were
not required. for the gore shed was
only that which flowed from the pieces
of bear served as the piece de resist
aEce of the feast. A plump bruin had
been secured from Alabama and he was
cooked TO a turn by the cultivated
pinkney, who occupies the position of
chef at the White house.
During the court of the dinner. the
president referred to the absence OF
some!o of the men who made his hun ting
enjoyable. Phil Stewart of Colorado,
brave tracker of mountain lions
could not come. Ben Lilly, who has
killed 1000 bears. who knows every
foot of ground in the northern Louisi-
ana swamps and who has lain down
at night with his feet in the hollow
of tree lest the bear within should
escape while the hunter was asleep
was too bashful to appear. or perhaps
too busy hunting. Bill Sewan, the
Maine guide. and Capt. Jack Alternately
who kills wolves by breaking their
jaws with his naked hands. also were
absent.

FORT PITT NATIONAL BANK
CLOSES ITS DOORS; SOLVENT.
Cash Shortage Causes Temporary Fail
ure-Kansas City Panic is Over-Re-
cent Crash Was Expected.

Pittsburg, Dec THE Fort Pitt Ma
tional bank was closed yesterday by
the controller for the currency. Last
night national. bank examiners were
making an examination to determine
just what condition the bank is in.
The bank officials declare the insti-
tuition is entirely solvent and that no
one will lose a cent. The bank has
capital stock of 100000. a surplus
oe $1,000, 600, and undivided profits of
S137, S09.06. It was regarded as one of
the most conservative institutions of
the city. It had been known for some
time, however, that the bank was short
of currency.
Following the controllers action the
directors issued a statement to the eff
feet that a suspension of business was
forced by the clearing house committee
demanding that the bank Immediately
raise a large amount of cash. which
under existing financial conditions it
could not do without great sacrifice.
The only alternative under which
business could be continued was to pay
its clearing house exchange in cur
rency, to DO which would exhaust the
banks supply of ready money within
a lev Jay . IL 4tAesS 10 uepOSlIorS

advisable to suspend business.
No excitement attended the closing of
the bank and at no time during the
day was there more than few loiter-
ers around the bank building No
other institution is involved in the
trouble.

VI. j. BRYAN IN ILLINOIS
Three Speeches at Freeport
Indicate He Will Take a
Conservative Stand.

Freeport, ILL.,, Dec. William Jen-
nings Bryan started in on his conquest
OF Illinois last night, and If the recep-
ton he got here is any rule he is go
ing to have an easy time of it. He acted
throughout as if his nomination next
year already was assured and every
body else took the assumption as justi
fed. There was pleanty of enthusiasm,
both of the brass band and of the gen
Cine varieties, with no dissenting voices.
Incidentally, Colonel James Hamilton
Lewis of Chicago. landed his boom for
the gubernatorial nomination. The
colonel did it in his usual modest way,
giving his platform as home rule,
especially as applied to federal court
Interference in state affairs. but he
made himself plainly understood. Both
Colonel Bryan and Colonel Lewis made
three speeches during the evening.
There was a meeting at the opera
house. another at the courthouse, and,
when this was over, banquet
Other oratoricaI talent, and plenty of
it, was on tap. and was divided up,
but the two colonies took in everything
I'VE are the two curios," was Colonel
Lewis way of explaining it.
People Out in Force.
Mr.. Bryan's reception was certainly
all any candidate could ask for.
Stephenson and the surrounding coun-
ties are republican territory. but it
seemed as If the entire 1880 popula-
ton with which Freeport IS credited
was in evidence last night Two brass
bands and a torchlight procession met
Ge
triumphal procession was escorted TO
the hotel. another TO the meeting places,
and the halls were crowded long before
he got there.
In his talk Mr.. Bryan followed close
~ his recent Washington speech. He
upheld the Chicago platform of 1896
by claiming that the eleven years OF
substantial history had proved the
Justice and wisdom of every important
plank in that document. although with
no specific reference to the 16 to l. and
asserted that the only thing which
made President Roosevelt popular We're
the things he had done in the line OF
that platform In fact. Mr. Bryan put
himself ithenaer ct oaintaointntnant
himself in the reactionary class. He
practically said the platform of 1896
was good enough for him. that it had
been vindicated. and that he proposed
TO stand pat" on it.
From the Chicago viewpoint a large
part Of the interest in the demonstra-
ton was the happening on the train
carrying Mr.. Bryan here. Roger Sulli-
van was not aboard. but nobody ex-
pected him. Carter Harrison also
staid behind. and none of his friends
were aboard. This was surprise. The
Bryan league surely was expected te
be represented. Ex-Mayor Dunno anC
the Jefferson club was in force. and
while Sullivan was absent. his friend.
were along.
