MONEY ROLLING IN AGAIN
Financial Institutions to Start In,
terest To-day.
Dividend Disbursements in BaItI-
more May Amount 10 More Than
Five Millions.

Baltimore, Jan. 1.-The financial instl-
tutiOns viii begin tomorrow TO make in
terest and dividend payments due this
month. Il is roughly estimated that the
interest and dividend disbursements here
this month will be between 10000 and
S. 900, of which amount over SiS0O00
viii represent interest paid by the city
on its stock. Some Of the larger amounts
will be paid through the trust companies,
as follows:
Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company. .... $50 COO
safe Deposit and Trust Company. 10000
Continental Trust Company. 209
Fidelity Trust Company 23
Baltimore Trust and Guarantee Company. 2i009
Maryland Trust Company 100 go
International TT7st Company y-............... 5o0J
Union Tfust Company a1y..--------..-..-.-..-.--- 500
These figures total only SL700.COo They
do not. however include the dividends
declared by The institutions themselves.
and which are payable this month. The
dividends Of the trust and surety COM
panies of the city. some Of which have
been declared and some or which are to
be declared this month, call for, ap-
proximately, S560000. The semi-annuaI
dividends of the banks, national and
State. also payable this month, call for.
approximately, S532. eco The city's inter-
est payments amount TO over $3.50, 900,
while it is roughly figured that the in
terest and dividend payments 20 be
made through private banking houses,
such as Alexander Brown q Sons, Town
send Scott & Son. Hamblet0n & Co, and
John S. Cuttings & Co, will be in the
neighborhoOd of $150G00. and. then. too
many interest payments. exclusive OF
those Of the city, are made through ma
tiOnal banks. Such payments as these.
with dividends declared by various cor
poratl0ns IN the city 20 which no pub
Hcity is given, but which are paid
through the banks. together with the
dividends declared by building assOcla-
tions, are considerable. and may be said
to call for from s1.500000 TO $2.O00.000
The Safe Deposit and Trust Company
will pay out a much smaller amount in
cash this month than in January, 1905.
Heretofore the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
roads semi-anngal dividend, calling for
something Ike yi,5O0.OOO has been paid
through the local institution. This year,
however, instead of the dividend being
paid in cash, the directors provided for
its payment in the company's own 4 per
cent certificates Of Indebtedness. These
certificates. however. will be sent out
through the Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany.
The interest and dividend disburse-
ments TO be made by the leading rail-
roads and industrials of the country this
month have been estimated al from SlS5,-
600, 900 to $200, 900 900.

MILLIONS OF CARDS SENT.
Another Wave Of Holiday PostaIs
Strikes New York Post-ofFice.

New York, Jan. Another wave OF
the holiday post card. has struck the
post-office in this city ana congested the
mails in quite the same way as at Christ
mas. Postmaster Morgan said to-day that
the estimate reached 100000 or 9000.0O0
IN measure. however he said they
were ready for it, having on hand extra
separators. clerks, and carriers in the
substations where the cards came insthe
heaviest
TfIe cards were sent out in better order
than week ago. as a result of these
precautions. The situation was further
relieved by the fact that there were no
Christmas packages TO handle. The
sale of l-cent stamps amounted 10 $4,000
yesterday. which is $4,000 less than that
Of the day before Christmas.

MAY END RATE FIGHT.
A. c. l.. Thought to Have Decided to
Accept COmpromise.

Raleigh, y. c, Jan. The hearing Of
the complaint Of the Atlantic Coast Line
In the railway rate litigation set for jan
uary in Wilmington. before Master
Montgomery, by agreement Of opposing
counsel has been indefinitely postponed.
This. in connection with the refusal
hitherto Of the Atlantic Coast Line to ac-
cept the compromise rates suggested by
Gov. Glenn which were accepted by the
Southern. the Seaboard Air Line. the
Norfolk and Southern. and other roads in
the State. is regarded here as an indica-
tion that the Atlantic Coast Line is now
considering the compromise rates, and a
special session of the Legislature in Janu-
ary TO make new rate law to conform
20 the compromise agreement, seems q
certainty.

occurrence.

This Is the name of a bathing
pool and resort fitted up near the
site of the Pace oil we'll, about
three miles from this town, by
the proprietors, J. S. White &
Co. This water is very trans
lucent and is impregnated with
salt, sulphur and gas. 1t flows IN
strong stream through a four
inch pipe into the pool which Is
kept constantly filled witt fresh
water. A condenser separates
the gas from the water and the
gas, when not in use, is conveyed
through an open waste pipe.
1t is utilized for both lighting aud
heating purposes.
A bath house containing fifteen
rooms has been constructed over
the pool, that will furnish shower
or tub baths, hot or cold. This
place has already become a
summer resort for the ladies, men
and children, to enjoy bathing
in the medicinal waters which the
well affords.
There is some talk of building
a skating rink at this resort and
of having an old time Fourth of
July rally on the grounds beneath
the shade of the forest trees. In
summer it furnishes a pleasant
ride to the spot, with the luxury
of a healthy bath at the terminal
of the ride. 1t is understood that
an effort will be made to furnish
a motor car to carry visitors to
the pool, at minimum cost. 1t
can be made an ideal
place for recreation and pleasure
during the hot summer months,
not taking into consideration the
curative powers of this abundant
and always fresh stream of water.

no disaster had occurred up to
that date. Herculean work at
several points where the Ievee

had averted disaster. As 1t is,
the high water has inflicted
unusual destruction on the grow

the valley and the loss has
already been heavy.

port marked 1926 feet and rising.
At that time grave fears were
entertained that Douglas Island
would be submerged and water
was siping thl ough the levee in
large quantities. Large portions
of the city known as Silver Lake
and Saint Paul Bottoms had been
inundated, while many families
had moved out of the flooded
districts and from Douglas
Island. Several railroads run
ming through the valley have been
hampered in their operations and
been compelled to utilize other
lines in order to keep their con-
nections. The l.. X. & n. has
been hampered in this way, but
has pluckily continued to run
trains and thus keep open their
lines.

,erning the river is of a gloomy
character. The Westlake levee
