Another rise in the foreign exchange rate to-day wiped out the margin separating the price from the point of profit on gold ship ments. It was denied that allowance of interest on the shipment while in transit by the bank of France figured in the transaction. Bankers estimate that the movement may run to $10,- OOO.O00 or $12O0O,00O. The insatIa- ble demands of the bank of France for gold in face of an unprecedented volume of holdings arouse no little wonder amongst bankers, It Is be- llevcd that uninterrupted selling of American securities by foreigners is the dominating cause of the move ment, The call loan rate was affected today although In slight degree, The irregular liquidation proceeded to an

THE LONG AGO.

Oh! wonderful stream is the River
Time.
AS it runs through the 1eAtm of
tears,
with faultless rhythm and a musical
rhyme.
Aud broader sweep and a surge sub
lime
As it blends in the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like
flakes of snow.
And the summerE like birds between,
And the ears in the sheaf, how they
come and they go
On the rivers breast with Its ebb and
It's flow.
AS It glides in the shadow and
sheenl
There's magical isle mp the River
Time.
Where the softest of airs are
playing;
There's a oloudless sky and tropi-
cal cline.
And song as sweet as vesper
chime,
And the Junes with the roses are
straying.
And the name of this isle is the Long
Ago"
And we bury our treasures there.
There are brows of beauty and bosoms
of snow,
There are heaps OF dust-but we loved
them SOL
There are trinkets and tresses OF
hair
There are fragments Of song that no
body sings,
There are parts of an infants prayer,
There's lutte unswept and a harp
without strings,
TheTe are broken vows and pieces Of
rings.
Aat the garments our loved used TO
wear.
There are hands that are waved when
the airy shore
BY the iitful mirage Is lifted In air
And we sometimes hear through the
turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard In the DAYS
gone before.
When the wind down the river was
fair
Oh, remembered for aye be that
blessed isle,
All the day Of our life until night.
And when evening gloWs with It's beau.
tiful smile
And our eyes are closing in slumber
the while.

yelled for bids. II even resorted to a
grand stand play in the courts. All
the while il was playing for a chance

After presenting its bid II sought TO
cold deck By a method at once villain

state saved from a stupendous swindle
at the hands Of the chief booster Of
the republican maicontents OF
course. having been caught red-hand-
ed with the Goods on" the Capital
will squeal like the ordinary boot
logger who Is pinched in the act.
What little confidence the people re-
posed in the CapitaI. editorially and
commercially is now forever shatter-
ed The state printing board saved
the taxpayers of the state from be-
Ing victimized by rank, rotten steal
and naturally has incurred the dis
pleasues of the buccaneering rag. The
people applaud the action Of the
printing board as they appreciate the
fact that II is the hit dog that hol-
