ENEMIES OF DANTE.

The enemies of the author of the
Divine Comedy are not all dead, ac-
cording to the correspondent in Alex
andria of a Roman paper. The Dante
Alighieri Society of that city offered
to the municipal authorities a statue
of the poet which the society wished
to erect in a prominent place. The
gift was rejected because of the violent
protests on the part of the Moslem
element. 1T would be blasphemy,"
they said, and an affront to Mahom-
etanism, because it fdrbids honoring
men by the erection of monuments
This excuse was faulty, because stat
hes have been erected at Alexandria
and at Cairo. THE real cause for OBJ
lection says the report, lis that the
Moslem people will not forget that
Dante gave their prophet a place in
the Internal regions" The offer was
finally withdrawn.

DISEASE HAS FREAKS.

No medical man needs to be told that
even disease has it's freaks, and that
recovery has occasionally been brought
about by means inexplfcably trivial
One of the most remarkable of these
unaccountabfe eccentricities of disease
took place at Halver, in Westphalia.
The case was that of a boy who, as the
result of a very heavy fall backward
on his head while skating, had for a
year and a half been deaf and dumb.
One morning his brother went to awake
him. and finding him sleeping heavily
tapped him lightly on the forehead To
his amazement the deaf and dumb boy
awoke with a loud cry. Both speech
and hearing had been restored.

G. Bourcier St. Chaffray said at
dinner in Michigan City of loss that he
had more than made up:
81 made up that loss cleverly, did 1
not? 1t is like an old blind great uncle
of mine whom my father used to tell
of.
NV great uncle once buried $4,000 in
gold louis under a pear tree in his gar
den. His neighbor saw him do it, and
in the dead of night came and stole
the money, replacing the earth careful
~.
Some days later my uncle brought
fifty more louis down to the pear tree
for burial He soon discovered his loss,
and, silently weeping, he, too, replaced
the earth.
HE knew whom to suspect, and that
night he called on his neighbor. He
seemed thoughtful and distract, and the
neighbor asked him what oppressed
his mind
Wei, I'll tell YOU said my great
uncle frankly. I have 1000 louis hid
away in a safe place, and today ten
ant paid off a mortgage, and I have
another 1000 louis in cash on my hands.
I don't know whether to seek out an
other hiding place for this money, or
to put it where the other is. What
do you adviser
Why said the nefghbor, eagerly.
if your first hiding place is safe-and
you declare it to be SOL should GER
tainly put this other money there, too
My great uncle said firmly that
was what he would do: it was the
wisest course. Then he took his leave.
t'And when, next day, he went to the
pear tree again, there, sure enough,
was his lost 1000 louis, all put back
again.

Albany. N. Y, Jan. 1.--After a thor ough review of the general conditions responsible for the panic of 1907, Clark Williams Superintendent of the New York State Banking Department, in his annual report. submitted to the Leg islature today says the particular causes contributing largely to>the fall ure of the ten financial institutions in New York were: "A lack of proper su- pervisory power; too great interdepen- dence between corporations; lack of association for mutual assistance and corporate abuse" The forms of cor porate abuse principally contributing to these failures. he says were:
 "A general disregard of law; lack of conservatism In management; inatten- tion to and disregard of duties of di- .raetors. and Improper use of corporate credit for personal advantage" MT. Williams recommends numerous changes in the banking laws of the State to remedy these abuses and with a view to giving the Superintendent of banks "a much wider supervision over the activities of certain classes of. in- stitutions under his Jurisdiction.
 MT. Williams, stating that the week iy bank statement" issued by the New York Clearing House Association does not reflect the aggregate financial po- sition of the banking institutions of the city at large, since one-hah of the banking power does not report to this Association, announced that he will re- quire an average summary statement of the condition of the banking insti- tutions of the States as of the close of business on Friday of each week, and that these statements will be prepared at the New York office of the depart meht

 During the past six months the general tendency was ever toward more restricted and consequently the sales while showing in vast volume are actually below those of previous years and there is not at this time a single indication on which general bet- terment might be forecast. The general trade of the city are in short rather in a quandary; they do not know what to ex- pect of the future trend of turpentine and certainly the very fact that the factors are advising their interior producing friends to eurtail the volume of production and cut no boxes in the coming season would seem to warrant the statement that no general betterment. is expected in the near future. So much for the outlook.
 The general trend continued downward in the past week though neither sales re- ceipts nor exports could be cofhpared with the totals of other weeks of l.sO7 because of the fact |that Christmas and New Year Eve were regarded as half holidays and there was no market on Christmas day The opening rsa on last Ihgrsdsy was at 40 to 4iHc and most of the sales were effected at 40c.
