"A BRUTAL. MURDER

He Could Rob.
The sheperd. Joseph Michaud, who
murdered Robert Munzigcr, Il younl
Swiss Alpinist, on the Col dc Balme
last August, has been sentenced tc

The crime was perhaps the most re.

ALPS. According to Michaud's confess

Blaine for days, intending to murder

rich EngliShman or American, and
his intention was TO leave Switaer-

berry and 10 come to America, whore

Michaud explained that he had
thought this out carefully while at
tending to his flock, and had conclud-
ed that he would remain Il shepherd
to the end Of his days unless he could
make II coup by numbering and rob
bing a wealthy tourist.

A GREAT SHOWING.

The resumption of business by the
Merchants and Traders bank of New
York within the past few days is
about the last of number of remark
able financial rehabilitations. With this
bank on its feet the New York World
states that of the thirteen banks and
trust companies which crossed their
doors in the panic of last October and
in the furry at the end of January,
not a single one of the $1,000 deposi-
tors loses a dollar, every penny of the
aggregate deposits of $S9.s37,318 be-
ing already paid back or ready for
payment.
OF the thirteen suspended institu-
tons ten have already resumed busi-
ness and are prospecting more than
ever before. OF the other three, one
is ready to resume, another had no
deposits and has no reason for resum-
ing, while another can resume if its
stockholders desire, as every dollar of
the $6,25O,000 due its depositors has
been paid, its capital of s75o.oOO left
unimpaired and in addition it has a
surplus of $750.000.
Even the two failed national banks,
not included in this list and owned by
| &. w. morse, the udT1IB InduCleT, nave
funds sufficient to pay every depositor
in full and give the stockholders a
substantial yield.
1t is safe to affirm that no such an
other panic followed by such complete
recuperation, without the loss or a
dollar to depositors, has occurred in
the history of the financial world.
Nearly $90,0O0,00O involved and no
one losing a cent. 1t speaks volumes
! for the ability of the men who came
to the rescue at the critical moment
and saved a senseless scare from turn
| ing into a ruinous collapse.
| The best feature of it all is that the
institutions which have resumed are
doing better than ever before because
the reckless men whose bad manage
ment started the panic have been cast
out and the trust committed to safer
! hands. So much for the rehabilitation

CUBA.

The United States plans to withdraw
its protection from Cuba in the latter
part Of next January. and the island
republic will, from that time forward,
proceed to govern itself. Governor
Magoon is confident that the elections
which are to be held on November IA
next will pass of without disorder,
and that the Cubans will be able to
take hold of the islands governmental
affairs and carry them forward sue
cessfully. The provisional government
has done its work well, to the satisfac-
ton of President Roosevelt and the
Cubans generally. Next year will tell
the story whether or not the Cubans
have really learned the lesson of self
government and the proper conduct
of the sanitary institutions which the
Americans found to be actually neces-
sary for the health of the people. The
Cubans have been slow to realize the
connection between cleanliness and
health. The stories told of the unsan-
itary habits of the people up to the
time of the surrender of the island by
Spain shocked the American people,
showing as they did the real reason
for the yellow fever scourge which
threatened the Gulf states as well as
Cuba. All this was changed after
the American occupation, and was
continued to some extent under the
new Cuban government. Under Gov
ernor Magoon American methods have
supplanted the Spanish unsanitary
modes of living, and it is hoped that
the replacement of the provisional
government by a Cuban ad1ninistra-
ton will make no change in this re-
gard.
Cuba on an American basis will be
very different from what it was under
Spanish rule, and while changes like
those which the island is still under
going work slowly, in this case there
is reason to believe that the reform
is moving surely. and that in the end
it will prove a great blessing to the
Cubans.

to import works by Titan, Rubens or

Yet in the opinion of a good many
persons the one who imports Titan
a Rubens or a Turner is a greater pub
lie benefactor. Perhaps Mrs. Jack
Gardner may have been animated to
some extent by vanity in making her
collection. but the collections whe
brought here are permanent additions
to the treasures Of the country. and In
stead of coming into competition with
any American industry are an aid ana

Senator Smith could make decided
hit just now by announcing his inten-

securing its adoption.
