RENfARKABLE ILLUMINATING

that the public generally will find

The use OF acetylene commercially

TO which Mr.. Hubert referred when
the plan was tried was 1929, when,
in the state of New York. there was

other banks note issues. safety
fund" being set aside. This plan
worked well for a number of years,
but the number of banks which failed
gradually increased. IN 1S40 II
was found that the safety fund" was
not large enough to guarantee notes
and depositors, and for that reason
the law was amended so that GER
tain per cent OF the accumulated
fund could be applied to the claims
Of other creditors than the holders
OF bank notes. These new demands
proved overwhelming and Il was
then that the whole scheme came to
an end. Az Mr.. Hubert said, II
was tried and proved a failure.
The investment market in Chicago
has continued somewhat depressed
by the events in the east. Preferred

Chicago, Sept. THE supremacy
Of the west in things political now is
currently seen TO a less degree IN
things financial The brunt OF what
force there was in Mr.. Bryan's Tope-
ka speech, urging the guaranteeing
Of bank deposits by Joint tax upon al,
banks was felt in Chicago before It
was in New York, an important fact
howing how the life center OF the
country has removed westward dur
ng the last few years. In 1896, the
western bankers were quIcked 10
realize the strength OF the free silver
propaganda as a propaganda than
were those in the east. They are
now IN even closer touch. For this
reason, some OF the prominent Chi
cago bankers have the need of pub
licity stating the practical objections
to the guaranteeing Of deposits un-
der the plan proposed. Ultimate
panic, It Is held. is a certain result
Of any such plan. because the strong
banks will be placed upon a par with
the weak ones. the conservative
banks upon par with imprudent
ones, which would gradually weaken
the banking system and failures
would become more frequent. By
relieving the individual bankers OF
responsibilities II would throw their.
responsibilities upon Others and in
the end cause disaster. These. in
short. are the views OF bankers whose
breadth Of view entitle them to
speak.
Commercial and manufacturing
interests OF this city have taken
alarm at the possible results OF the
deposit-guarantee propasanda. Many
OF there interests are depositors on
a large scale and naturally would ap-
prove any plan which really would
insure security for their funds.
r. d. Hubert, vice president Of
the Merchants Loan g. Trust com
pany. called the plan little short OF
confscation and absolutely mnrea-
sonable. "The thing has been tried
before" he said. "and II failed. For
R short time such a system might
Increase the amount OF deposits In
banks, but eventually II would re-
suit In disaster 10 all. The person
mel and responsibility OF the indi-
Vidual banks would deteriorate un-
III their mmtuai guaranty would not |

expressed by George Il. Roberts. re-
,ently director OF the mint. and now
president OF the Commercial National
bank. who added: Reckless and In

Recipes for Hydrophobia.

1. Another alleged cure for hydro
phobia is reported from Russia. 1t
is simply the Inhalation of oxygen
gas. A little girl who had been seiz-
ed with convulsions was made to
inhale three cubic feet of the gas,
when the symptoms disappeared.
They returned the next day, and the
treatment was repeated with such
success that they had not returned at
last accounts.
2. The British Medical Journal says
that garlic has always had a great
reputation among antl-hydrophoo oola
remedies, and is found as principal

Girls Trunks Burned.

A special from Rock Hill says:
Wednesday night about l2:45
O'Clock fire broke out in a Southern
railway baggage car in which were
about 100 trunks and number of
valises belonging to departing Win
throp college girls.
While the car was being loaded a
lamp exploded and in moment or
two the inside of the car was in
flames. The fire department respond
ed to an alarm and the fire was final
ly got under control, but not until
much damage had been done, both to
the baggage and the car.
The contents of the trunks and va
lises which were inside the car are
practically ruined. The damages will
aggregate about $4,000. The roof of
the car was almost entirely consum-
ed and the loss on the car will proba-
bly, reach $4,000 The railway com
pany is liable for damages to the
amount of S100 on each trunk.

Small Verdicts in Richlaad.

During the term Of the court of
common pleas for Richland county,
which ended a few days ago, IA cases
were disposed of, all save two being
suits against corporations. The total
amount sued for in the IA cases was
S77,234. Verdicts for the defendants
were rendered in five of the cases.
The total amount of damages award
ed by the juries in the nine cases
which were decided in favor of the
plaintiffs was SS,14s. The lawyers,
of course, get their share out of this.
Inone case, that of Koon VS.. the Sea-
board Air Line railway, the jury
awarded damages in the sum of S.
444, leaving in the remaining eight
cases but So, 7O4. The verdicts were
little more than 10 per cent. of the
damages claimed and sought for.
