JOKE IN GRAVEYARD.
Two Men Fixed Up Wrong Plot for
 Memorial Day.

Two rather prominent citizens who earn their bread in the court house building set out to certain cemetery yesterday to get things ready for the, Memorial day visit. They took with them all the appli- ances used in cutting grass and making things look nice around a burial plot, and they did not stop at place until they got to the cem- etery either for they wished to cut out politics for once in their lives.
 It was hot in the cemetery. very hot. Hotter than it was at Bull Run and the battle of Memphis Hotter than-well it was so hot that finally the two had to take to wa ter, and they never remember 1t be- ing so hot before.
 They ran the grass cutter here and there and everywhere and they stuck flowers in corners and placed the little flag all right where 1t ought to be and then they admired it and the more one of them ad- mirled it the more he thought some- thing was wrong.
 Say" said he in half whisper, wouldn't it be the fun if it turned out that we had fixed up the wrong plot"
 Tt surely would" said the other sagely
 When they got home in the even- ing they remarked that they had fixed up the burial plot and when they were informed that the burial plot had been fixed up a week ago by the boys of the family, they went out and vowed to say nothing more about it and swore all the family to solemn secrecy.

AGREE ON MONEY BILL.
Compromise Arranged By House and
 Senate Conference.

Washington, May 27.-A compromise between asset banking and emergency circulation based on state, county and municipal bonds has been virtually ar ranged by the conferees on the Ald- rich-Vreeland financial bill. A complete agreement has not yet been reached, but is declared to be in sight. The Democratic conferees have taken no part in framing up this substitute
 The following are the main points of the understanding that have been reached: The reserve provisions in the yreeland bill calling for retention of 9 per cent in central reserve cities and 15 per cent in other reserve cities is reduced to straight 10 per cent reserve without reference to classifica- ton of cities.
 "A higher rating Is given to state and municipal bonds than to other se- curities upon which an emergency cur rency may be taken out by banks that is to say, state. county and mu- nicipal bonds will be valued at not to exceed 90 per cent of their mar ket value and all other bonds at not to exceed 70 per cent of their market value, both without regard as to whether they are offered as security for additional circulation under the national clearing house plan or under the individual bank bond security plan.
 Amount of Circulation Limited.
 The amount of circulation issuable upon commercial paper basis is lim- ited to 40 per cent of the capital of the applicant bank instead of 100 per cent, as provided in the vreeland bill.
 The redemption fund requirement. of per cent under the present law Is increased to 10 per cent for all emer- gency currency taken out.
 The total amount of emergency cur rency issuable is confined within a maximum of SJ00.O0O.000, as provided by the Aldrich bill.
 A time limit of three years is placed upon the life of the bill.
 Aht uVurt koAANEttS auuCApdte put little difficulty in securing the passage of the conference report.
 The senate conferees think the re- port can be put through the senate within few days. They realize that considerable discussion will follow the presentation of an asset banking prop oSition to which all the Democrats and many Republicans are opposed. At the same time they believe inst by press ing consideration and eventually hold ing a few night sessions a conclusive vote will be reached
 Democratic Views ef the Matter.
 4 number of leading Democrats de- cisred they would not participate la any organized fiiinster against a con- ference report containing an asset cur rency plan. They announced an inten. tion Of fully putting themselves in rec ori and then permitting the Republic ans to assume responsibility for the legislation.
 Senator Clay says a vote cannot be reached before the middle of August fl a report of the character indicated is to be adapted He predicts that Demo crats. assisted by some RepnblIcana viii debate the matter during the next eleven weeks at least
 Senator AIdrich said he was not alarmed hy threats of Democratic ob- structioa- In his erinion any attempt to fHbuxfer win prove futile He thinks a vose can Ee rsschsd within q rsssousb5s time

 Bridgeport, May 27.-In the supe- rior court here yesterday Judge Silas A. Robinson denied citizenship papers to Michael J.
