even through the panic of 1893, cer- tainly the present management with in- creased facilities are able to do so un- der the conditions of 1907-s; that at the meeting held in the town hall at Centerville in 1906 to ccnsider the dou- Cliff street to the Country club the representative ofthe company, MT. Pun derford, said that if these privileges were granted and the road regarded etc, 1t would result in such improved service to the Country club and a twelve minute service to Mt. Carmel; that the residents have ben accustom- ed to city service. and have accommo- dated their heblts to It.
 That the new service supposed to be a twenty-four minute service except between the hours of a. m. and 7:S0 a. m. and 4;30 and 6:30 p. m. in reality depends upon contingencies, which the company cannot and will not be able to foresee, as witness in December when the Waterbury car due at the corner of Church and Chapel streets at 2.ls ?. m. reached there at 2:40, and this is only one instance.
 To all this Mir Smith replied that his investigations had shown him that by the present arrangement the conven fence of the riding public was taken care of as fully as his experience had shown 1t demanded, and that 4n view of the financial stringency, and the mark ed falling off n earnings, he thought that his action was justified but that in consideration of our representations he would take the matter under fur ther consideration. continue his inves- tigations. and give us his decision nt some future meetng
 Your committee waited for two weeks to give Mr Smith ample time during which time you are sufficiently familiar with the conditions which pre-. vailed not to need our repeating then here; sufficient i5 1t to say that the, were almost unbearable. We tho ar. ranged for a meeting on January l3 a, 10 a. m. and invited Selectman Wood. ruff, Selectman Mann and MT. Avis t. accompany us.
 At this meeting MT. Smith told u, that he had given the matter yer, careful consideration and his final de the schedule stand as 1t was. We re peated to him our former argument. and the selectmen and MT. Avis supple, mented them with others. but we wer, unable 10 change his decision. You committee hope now to be able to ar range an interview with MT Mellen and will transmit the result of it [, you in due time.

AMERICANS IN HOLY LAND.
Many Residents There Prove to Have
 Been in This Country.

We found Racheiya, in the Holy Land, full of Americanism. We went out to take photographs, and at al- most every street corner some young man who had been in the United States or Canada saluted us with: How are you to-day? You fellows come from America? Whats the news there? Is Bryan elected yet? voted for Mckinley l got a store in Kan kakee.

Our self-elected guide had spent seven years in Illinois and Indiana. peddling and storekeeping. He had returned to Racheiya as a successful advent urer and built him a stone house with red roof and an arched portico. Was

of system. But it is very generally recognized that this individualism is largely responsible for the exceptional severity of our panics or the gross abuses of credit which cause these panics.
 Let no mistake be made regarding the import of this plan. It does not mean that reckless banking may be generally indulged in with safety to depositors, whom the government will protect at it's own or the peoples cost, If the general bank protection provided should fail. It amounts rather to a plan which will compel conservative bankers to watch and act against dis honest, reckless or speculative banking among neighhoring competitors-em- ploying either such moral and financial forces of their own as were used against certain institutions by the New clearing house during the recent panic; or enlisting the aid of the public in spection authority having In charge the matter of guaranteeing deposits. It would thus come to be a measure to en- list, on behalf of sounder and safer banking all around, the restraining in- fluence of the abler and more conserva- tive men in the business. And this Is a need of which more than one promi- nent banker has been speaking of late.
 JAS remedy against panic, it is sim ply idle to talk of more expansive currency systems and the like. This Is to mistake causes for effects and ef- fleets for causes Panics grow out of undue credit inflation, and to get at panic preventatives we must strike at credit abuses and the. reckless over- straining of credit which bring on pan- ic. And 1t will have to be admitted thas large possibility of correction against such abuses lies in this plan of joint guaranty of deposits. It is cer. tainly entitled to serious consideration.

Crazy Somehow.

he may be SO stuffed with facts that

He may be 30 primed with knowledge

Ever. bubbling spring Of wisdom,
quenching every travellers thirst;
lie may know 40 much IL pains him and
quite frequently 4detains him,
witt the weight upon bis shoulders
since his brain outgrew his Drawn,
But, regardless Of his brilliancy and
cranial reailiency,
You can stake your life there's some
thing he's q little crazy on.
LIE may wear a skull 50 bnrdened with

With the laurel wreaths Of learning,

He may have his mental storcroom
packed 80 closely there's no more

For the commonplace things-his

He may Be the wisest everdeep, dis

Such az leave the whole world poorer
when Ills said that they are cones
But feel I'm safe in stating that, with
some investigating,
You could ferret out subject he was
downright crazy on.

Primitive Makers Of cantu Lace.

Of all the Industries in the world, the
manufacture Of Cantu laces by the peas
ants following this pursuit in Milan,
Italy, Is the NEST primitive, considering
the great demand for these rare fabrics
and the number Of peasants employed
in their manufacture. Cantu laces are
not the product Of factories, but are
made in the homes Of the peasants. SO
writes Louis G. Kane in the Technical
World Magazine for July. The peasants
are supplied with the linen yarn, the re-
quired tools and the designs ON which
the laces are woven by the mannfactur-
err, who takes the orders from the buyers
from Paris, London or New York. The
latter visit Milan annually with orders
for certain design, place them with the
manufacturer and he in turn let's out the
patterns, wooden needles and cloth
drums and linen yarn necessary for the
performance Of the work to those pea
SAINTS in his employ.
Tt is estimated from states pathered
during the past year BY those familiar
with the industry that no less than
5000 women ard children rare employed
in the summer months ia the raanufact-
ure OF Cantu lace. 1t is q life study

MORE MARINES FoR PANAMA.
About 1850 Men VIII Be There During
the Elections.

Washington, june announcement
was made Wednesday that an additional
force Of 767 marines will I've sent inn
mediately to Panama in order to prevent
fraud and the intimidation Of voters
during the coming elections. This force,
with the marine guard Of two hundred
now on the isthmns, and the three hum
bred marines now en- route on the cruis-
ers Tacoma and Prairie, will bring the
total force UP to 1880 officers and men.
Although it Is considered that this force
will be more than sufficient, prepare
lions have been made by the war de-
partnent to send an additional force
from Mare Island in case it shall be
necessary. According to the present
program, the additional marines will
reach the isthmus about June 20, two
days before the municipal elections,
scheduled for june 2S. They will be
stationed at various places, . certain

States promptly on landing their men,

Many Inquiries as to Currency
Associations
INTEREST ON DEPOSITS
Also Causes DiscussiOn--Two New York
Banks Turn in Cash---All Anarchist
Papers Are Barred from the
Mails.

Washington, June 1o.--The treasury
department has received from the
Chemical National bank of New York,
which is temporary government de-
pository, It's entire deposit Of public
funds amounting to $l,02S 900 with
the explanation that TIE bank does not
pay interest to depositors and as it
would be required To pay interest at
the rate of per cent per annifm under
the terms Of the new currency net and
the regulations of the secretary of the
treasury, The officers Of the bank decid
ed not to make an exception Ia favor
Of the government The American Ex-
change National bank of New York
and regular government depository
also surrendered an excess of $230,OO0
over The amount the government re-
quired the bank to keep on hand to
meet distributing officers checks which
under the law ii not subject to interest
charge. The assumption that the ac-
tion by these banks in srrrendering
their deposits is @ strong indication
that they will not take advantage Of
the new act authorizing the formation
of national currency associations
throughout the country is declared to
be in all probability erroneous, while
the treasury officials have no definite
knowledge Of what any individual bank
will do in this matter. The fact that
these prefer not to pay interest on de-
posits can have no bearing on the wis
dom Of their joining currency asso-
citation. Letters from bankers In all
sections Of the country are being receiv.
ed at the treasury department, asking
for the necessary blank forms and de-
tails as to the formation Of currency
associations and the very general III
terest thus displayed is regarded ais
conclusive that national banks through
out the states will take advantage Of
the authority conferred by the act
Among the inquiries submitted at this |
time by large number of banks, prin
cipally outside Of the great money cen
tiers, is as to whether ii would be TO the
advantage of bank to retain it's gov-
ernment deposit. taking into considera-
tion the present market price Of gov
eminent bonds and the one per cent. |
interest to be charged under the new
act This question has been answered /
by w. Nv. Mccoy, Che government act
nary, who finds that bank having a /
government deposit Of 100000. seeur
ed by United States per cent. consols |
Of 1880. in a community where money |
is loaned at per cent interest would /
have at the end Of the year net profit I
