The banking power Of the United
States to-day In shown 20 be SIT ,64a,-
't1,2li In the annual report of Law
renee O. Murray. Comptroller Of the
Currency. This IL m amount exceeding
the worlds banking power In 1890.
There are 5000 banks and banking In
stltntions in the United states. The
Comptroller places the worlds banking
power to-day eli s2s,l01 .6fo 5000. This
places the aggregate banking power Of
the world at SO. 100. 100000.
The report deals almost exclusively
With figures. Mr.. Murray has this to
say on failures ana tae aus
OF the thirty-three national banks for
which receivers were appointed during The
year ended Oct. II. 1908. nine banks,
with aggregate capital Of 81 10000, were
restored to soivency end authorized TO
resume business. while receivers proceeded
TO lquidate the assets of twenty-four
banks found TO be irretrievably insolvent,
The nominal value Of assets taken charge
of by the receivers of these twenty-four
banks was S3i,4i5.511. the liabilities. so
far as reported. being Sl9.3AI.6lo, Divi-
dends TO the amount of S1.3.Ii,666 have
been Paid TO creditors of the banks which
failed during the year, and the affairs OF
one such bank having been finally settled
the receigership was terminated.
Noting the cause of failure Of banks
in charge of receivers during the gear. 1t
! appears that seven banks were wrecked
by the cashier, one by defalcation of Off
| GERS and three chiefly through fraudulent
management. among other causes. OF the
remainder. four failed from excessive
loans to others and depreciation of sccuri-
| ties. etc. three by reason OF injudicious
| banking. two from excessive loans to d.
rectors and others and two from deprecia-
ton of securities. one from failure OF
large debtors and one from general strin-
gency in the money market.
The Comptroller estimates the mum
her of depositors in national banks al
5.25o.000. Here are figures showing
bank earnings:
Consolidating the reports of earnings
and dividends for the year ended July i
1905. on an average capital and surplus
Of $500. 932.o1o and S54S.SJo,416, respec

Of 1861 during the year. Abou
two-thirds of the cash holdings of thu
banks of the country is in national banks
Bank resources have more than doubles

there has been a decrease of about one

Hardships Kill Young Orphan.

Pine Bluff.-Turned away by sev- eral people to whom he applied for food, and fearing arrest for vagrancy, Samuel G. Graftree, a 13-year-old or phan, who was making his way from Newport, Ark, to Minden, La., where he formerly resided, staggered into an alley in this city and sank to the ground from exhaustion. The lad was found some time later by two police men, who, thinking he was drunk, sent him to police headquarters, where, several hours later, when it was discovered that he was dying phy- sicians were called. The lad was re- moved to the home of Mrs. D. C.. Shumpert, who on hearing of the mat ter, offered to care for the youthful derelict. This morning he died, and his body will be buried in the Potter's field.
 Every attention was given the boy, but it came too late. He was revived sufficiently for him to tell his story. He says he worked for a time in Newport, but lost his position and de- cided to make his way to Minden. He suffered from cold and hunger and lived in constant fear of the officers of the law. Sunday morning he was ordered from a train on which he was stealing a ride, and here his journey ended

AFTER BIG MONEY, ,GETPENNIES
Fail in Attempt to Blow Safe of Bank of Horatio, but Secure $40
 in Coppers.

TeXarkana-A telephone message feceiyed here from Horatio by F. w. Offenhauser stated that the bank at that place, a private concern known as "The Bank of Horatio," had been burglarized during Sunday night.
 The burglars entered the building by breaking open a door. They then blew open the vault, after which they tried to blow the safe, but failed Ill the effort. The vault and the safe door were, however, badly wrecked
 The message did not explain how or why it was that the thieves did not continue their work until they opened the safe, where the money was. There seems, however, to have been noth- ing to frighten the burglars away, as they had been gone, evidently, some tme when the employees of the bank opened the doors in the morning.
 The damage to the bank is estimat- ed at about $500 which is covered by burglar insurance.
 The burglars took $40 in pennies, which had been left outside the safe.
 There is no clew to the robbers An effort is being made to get blood hounds
