expressed themselves in favor Of
a recorders court. We cannot

To be on the outside it appears
that some of the sentences Of the
court this week were rather light
for the offence, but the fellow
that gets the sentence will defend
the Judge every time. OF course
the court hears and sees all

tence IL usually up to the notch,
but it does appear that a fellow
that makes every effort possible

SOME OF HIS ENGLISH Ao~S..
 ANCES BROWN ON HIS DISSIPA- TONS WHILE IN ITALY-HIS FRIENDS ARE DIsGUsTED.


 London, January 11.-(Special Cable.) When the Duke of Aosta returns to England he is likely to experience a series of cuts by society. The stories of his Italian dissipations, which ap- peared from time to time in the pages of Propaganda, have filled his whilom friends with disgust and loathing.
 The Duke is a nephew of the King of Italy. and his marriage to the daughter of the Conte de Paris was accounted one of the great marital events of Eu- rope. He has always been persona grata at the English court and is a bosom friend of the Prince of Wales. But the Prince has no sympathy with loose livers and no one will be sur prised if he turns out to be the prime mover of the proposed social boycott.
 Certainly, the Prince has expressed his opinion of the Dukes double life in unmistak cable English on more than one occasion, and he has left his at titude beyond the reach of doubt.
 The story about the Duke was not believed until the Ouch ess began to make inquiries, and then she discovered to her sorrow that the allegations of Propaganda were mild compared to the actual truth. Divorce proceedings are threatened by the injured Princess.

5l4gg82Hf BE E6Gf BEST I
IS SHOWN FOH inG NE AFTER ii WEEKS OF sTRIN- GENCY.

New York, January 1.-The Financier will say:
 The official statement of New York as- sociated banks last week showed the most gratifying and assuring exhibit of the en- tire extinction of the deficiency in re- serve, disclosing a surplus of $6,OS4, ,05O on general deposits and a surplus of $24,377,- 225 as computed on such deposits, less those of public funds. The first deficiency indicated at the beginning of the crisis of 1907 was $1.233,3OO October 25 This was later increased to $54,1O3,6O0 by November 2S; from that maximum there was a more or less gradual reduction In this item to $11 1,505,550, January 4 this year, and this deficiency was as above noted changed to a substantial surplus in the statement of last week. It will be interesting to note that in the crisis of 1893 the first deficiency was shown to be July S. The banks indi- cated a surplus of $2se4,375 on septem- Der g, so that the visible traces of the panic of that year continued to be shown for nine weeks. Such traces have been observed in the present crisis for II weeks.
 The exhibit of last week showed the surprising increase of s1s.3S9,90O In cash; this seems to have been largely caused by the heavy Pemittances during the week by interior correspondents of New YorK banks to their reserve agencies. probably for the reinforcement of their previous greatly depleted reserves. Deposits were augmented $3,1S5,2OO, and the reserve re- quirements were increased S7969O0, deduct ing which sum from the gain in cash, left $17,593,600 as the increase in reserve to be $6,0S405p.. Computed upon the basis If deposits less those of $7S,17270O public funds, which it may be observed were re- duced $3,0O0,000 during the week, through recalls by the Secretary of the Treasury, the surplus is s24, BIT, ,225. Loans were con- tracted $15. .722, 200, probably by refiecting retirements of clearing house loan cert'f- cates. The detailed statement showing the condition of industrial banks was not issued, it being desirable to withhold such statement until the loan certificates that have been omitted shall be fully restored. Such retirement will most likely be effec' ed during this week

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybo knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature, but few req lize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and i'm purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural ana eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it oisinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered will low charcoal, and other harmless anti septics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, SWe9tef -breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that TO possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: q ad- wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all natients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion . nd purify the breath, mouth and throat F also believe the liver is greatly ben efited by the daily use of them; they cost 1,nf tWenty-five cents a box at drug efores. and although in some sense a natent preparation, yet I believe I get 1nore and better charcoal in Stuart's Tharcoal Lozenges than in any of the ~rdinary charcoal tablets'

KAISER CORRECTS
 GER MAN HISTORY
HE STOPS THE PRINTING PRESSES AND HAS A PAGE RELATING TO CHINESE INVASION REPLACED BY ANOTHER.

Berlin, January 11.--(Special Cable) Looking over some proofs of an illus trated work dealing with German con temporary history, the Kaiser enconnt- cred a paragraph that made him stop the presses. A page was ordered killed and replaced by another, incorporating the majesty's correction.
 The offending paragraph set forth that the late Catholic bishop of China had acquired Klaotchau for Germany The Emperor cut it out, and on the margin wrote the following correction:
 Incorrect. It was I who selected Klaotchau, having previously caused an investigation of the bays of Salnsah and Wefhaiwei, both of which proved inadequate for our purposes.
 After studying Baron von Bich- thofen's work on China, together with the map, I decided on the port of Kiaotchau since it's Hinterland is most promising" WILLIAM, l. R.

 MT. Smith purchased while in New York; for his firm decidedly the largest and the finest stock of silks this big house has ever carried. The market was unusually favorable for buying. The financial depression over the country re- tarded sales earlier in the season, and the manufacturers had large and choice stocks on hand and were glad to sell away under price. These silks came in by express and go into the great silk sale Monday morning, sale unequaled for quality, variety of choice and low prices. Special attention has been given to the display and convenient arrangement of the silk tables for the Monday sale. The woman who misses the big silk sale passes up one of the big shopping events of the year.

Railroads Across the Andes.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The prophets predict that ere many years have passed there will be at least three railroads across the Andes, one of them trans-continental the others con- meeting with steamers on the Amazon or it's tributaries.
 The line which now runs from Val paraso to Juncal is to be extended through a long tunnel which in five or 10 years will be finished, and it will connect with an Argentine road at Mendoza
 The remarkable Central Peruvian road, which rises coco feet in 50 miles from it's terminus and crosses the eastern range at an elevation of 15,6G5 feet, will in no great time be ready to carry passengers to the Ucayali river; thence there is an 800 mile river journey ere the traveller reaches the head of navigation for ocean, going vessels And that place is 2O01 miles from the Atlantic. Another line further to the north will greatly shorten the journey.
