The Financial Situation.

From the market letter of Charles
X. Byram, Jr., lis Congress street.
Boston, we quote the following:
The great fact of easy money and
large excess bank reserves Is one OF
the foundation stones under the spec
ulation and one which viii be there
for many months to come. II is eyi.
dent that We shall have no dear mon
ey period during December, as we usu.
ally have, as the surplus reserve is so
large that high rates are impossible.
The contrast between now and a year
ago shows the marvellous improvement
that has been made In money condit-
ions, as in place OF the largest deficit
ever shown by the banks last year we
now have the largest surplus reserve
is so large that nigh rates are impos-
sib,e. The contrast between now and
a year ago shows the marvellous i'm
provement that has been made In
money conditions. as in place OF the
largest deficit ever shown by the
banks last year we now have the lar
gest surplus reserve shown at this
time Of the year for eleven years past.
This makes the situation now as bull
ish as 1t was bearish year ago
T. There are other features Of the sit.
nation which show an equally marvel
ous change for the better as compar-
ed with a year ago The merchant
or manufacturer who could not get
funds with which 20 conduct his bus
mess a year ago Is now beseiged by
the banker to take on" money. The
wOrkmen who look forward 10 several
months OF idleness are now enjoying
the prospect OF steady work AT good
wages These factors promise a buy.
ing power and consumption OF cOmmo-
dities never before eQualled and the
stock market is now discounting the
benefits OF this condition which will
accrue to the railway and industrial
companies.
The country is as optimistic today
as II was pessimistic a year ago"

FRANK &. HOWE. Editor and Publisher

Another important question to con-
slider In connection with this propos.
ition of q central normal school: Is
the state prepared to advance the sal
aries of teachers to point where the
graduates of a modern normal school
can afford to stay in Vermont? II
would be folly for the state to expend
a half million dollars in a normal
training school for teachers and fifty
thousand a year in supporting It and
then allow its graduates TO leave the
state because they could obtain better
pay elsewhere. Mortified News.
If the state OF Vermont is not pre-
pared to advance the salaries Of teach
ers to point where a graduate of
modern normal school can afford to
stay in the state it is high time that
the whole educational system was
given an oyerhauling. If we are be-
coming scared through the fear that
our public school instructors may
come to know too much then the peo-
pie are in need of education more
than the children. One great defect
in the educational system in Vermont
is the low salaries paid to teachers.
If the editor of the News could take
a trip into some of the western states
and make only casual investigation
Of this subject, the salaries paid and
the requirements insisted upon, he
would realize why It is that Vermont
has so much difficulty in securing the
proper teachers In one public insti-
tuition in a far western state, of which
the writer had a slight personal know
ledge, the instructors I'm the grades.
even to the primary were college
graduates but the compensation was of
sufficient consequence to repay the
teacher to take the four years of in
struction that was considered neces,
sary to fit her for the position.

Muncie Police Discover a Trick OF

The police at Muncie, Ind, discov-
cred a gambling circuit composed of
Muncie, Dunkirk, Hartford City and
perhaps several other towns, and that
the arrest of fifteen men in a room
in Muncie may be the means of
breaking up a chain of gambling
rooms. Since gambling has been un-
der the ban there for several years
and all established joints have been
abolished, the police have long be-
lieved that surreptitiously gaming has
been conducted by a set of profess
sional gamblers who moved their
meeting place nightly and they say
their suspicious have been confirmed
To avoid being arrested, the gamb-
lers are believed to have formed a cir

EVERY SIDING FULL
OF EMPTIES.
Pennsylvania Company Storing Them
Safely Away.

For the first time in the history of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
every siding that can be used for
storage purposes is filled with cars
and the company rs now using large
derricks to place empty cars on the
ground along the main line. This
action may be explained by the fact
that there are now 10000 more idle
cars of the company than at this time
last year, when there was a general
cry of a car shortage. Despite this
the railroad officials are optimistic
and believe that business conditions
generally will improve shortly.
W. c. Brown, vice president OF the
New York Central, and other high
officials say that the railroads are
now at rock bottom and that within
the next month many thousands of
additional cars will be pressed into
service They attribute the increase
in surplus equipment to the closing
of the coal mines, and as an agree
ment has been reached for a resump-
ton of work Il is believed a new high
record will be reached for May.
Slight increases in tonnage are being
made this month on most of the lines,
and lake shipments, which are open
ing up, will augment this class of
freight

An Old Paper.

Mrs. S. A. Wellman of Swaledale.
Iowa sends us a copy of the Ply
mouth Banner, published April 20,
1852, ffty-six years ago. 1t was then
published by Corbaley and GLADDEN.
Richard Corbaley was the great
preacher of the Advent chruch or
Church of God, was the founder of
that church in this county, was the
first white male child brn in Indi-
annapolis, and was county clerk when
he purchased the Plymouth Pilot
from John O. Howell, March 1, 1852
and changed its rame to the Ply
mouth Banner. The name was chang
ed to the Plymouth Republican in
1856 and it is now the Plymouth Trib-
une.
Mrs. Wellman is the daughter Of
Mrs. Blackburn, whose maiden name
was Susannah Thompson, one of the
first settlers of Marshall county. ].
Q. Howell, the founder of the Pilot
in 1851, now resides at Delong, and
Richard Corbaley died in California
a few years ago The paper contains
the celebrated Dream of the Future,
written by NJ A. O. Packard, then
a. boy in his teens, and many of the
predictions which then seemed to be
impossible were verified years ago
and others will perhaps be realized
by persons now living.

cHAULNFS. DUKE, DIES;
SHORT ROMANCE ENDS.
Hesu Disease Claims Young Noble
man Husband of Miss Shonts.

In the presence of his bride of less
than three months Emmanuel Theo-
dore Bernard Marie d'Albert de Luy-
mes daily, ninth Duke of Chaules
and OF Picquigny and Marquis of
Dangeau, died suddenly from heart
failure at IL o'clock Thursday night
in his apartments in the Hotel Lang
ham, in the Rue Boccador at Paris.
The physicians summoned to attend
the duke in his sudden seizure offici-
ally the cause of death as embol-
ism of the heart.
The Duke d'Chaulnes and the
duchess, who was Miss Theodore
Shonts, youngest daughter of Theo-
dore P. Shonts of New York, were
married in New York Feb 16 of this
year. The wedding was a brilliant
social function and the end of the
brief honeymoon was sudden and
tragic. Since the arrival of the couple
in Paris month ago they had lived
comparatively quietly at the Hotel
Langham, taking an occasional auto
mobile ride in the afternoon and in
the evening dining with intimate
friends or going to the theater.

Prepared.

United States District Attorney
Sims of Chicago Friday finished a
brief suit which involves the right

ments of the Federal attorney prevail.
Judge Kohlsaat will establish a pre-
cedent that will invalidate thousands
OF dollar. worth of contracts now
existing between railroad companies.

and newspapers and magazines.
The interstate commerce prohibits
the issuance of passes by common
carriers to any one save their own
employees and officers of other rail
roads and transportation companies.
The roads claim the right to issue
transportation to publishers and to
receive an equivalent in advertise
ment. Sims holds that this results in
the practice of giving passes to fav-
ored publishers, who, in return. favor
the corpoations in publishing their
reading matter.
The Monon railroad is defendant in
the first suit Judge Kohlsaat will
hear arguments May 4.
