THE PASSING ZHRoNc
Pitk of. The Pltx of It.

Chief clerks and heads of depart ments of the various offices at the State Capitol are bemoanlng the fact that they are not housekeepers, or rather that they did not tell Hon. J. Craig Smith so Monday morning.
 Without any preliminary question and without formal greeting, Mr. Smith. would solemnly ask: Are you 6 housekeeper in this city?'
 Now, ten to one the first thought that, would arise in the mind of the person being questioned would be: "He vents me to take delegates to some admit that l ever saw 8 house If I can get out of 1t" And ten to one the first answer would be:
 NO, sir. never saw house in Mont gomery other than my boarding house"
 The Hon. J. Craig would then smile and pass on to eask the question of some one else.
 But curiosity was naturally aroused to ind out what could be back of the innocent question. and when 1t became known that a turkey was being pre- scented to every Capitol ofdceholder keeping house In Montgomery Aup. pressed howl, and the sound of many g1ashing teeth were heard In the cor.
 But an accurate list of those had been asked the innocent question had been kept, and although many saw the Hon. J. Craig more than once never chance was given them to answer the question differently.
 And those who didn't want to take delegates will have to buy their Thanksgiving dinner turkey in the open market.

NEW YORK BANKS REPORT CON
DITIONS.

Information is Reassuring and Quick
Recovery is Expected-Net Loss In
Withdrawals Small.
New York, Dec. 26.-Under call OF
the State banking department for the
reports Of condition on Dec. ~, 81
trust companies and 20 State banks
OF Greater New York have filed their
formal statements. While the effects
or the recent storm are plainly evil
dent, especially in regard to those few
institutions against which the attack
seemed most direct, the statements as
whole bear testimony of the quick
recovery generally made and the un-
wavering confidence Of the great body
Of depositors. The reports also show
that certain Of the State banks Of New
York city did their share toward re-
lieving the financial situation in other
cities. They accomplished this by ac-
cepting from the local national banks
a large quantity Of clearing house GER
tifcates, leaving the national banks in
position to employ their cash in re-
lief Of customers and corporations in
tho interior.
The 20 State banks Of New York,
Brooklyn and the other boroughs of
Greater New York which have so far
repoNed show aggregate deposits OF
$225, 100000.
OF this enormous sum the net loss
in withdrawals since Aug. 20 last
amounted to only $3,O56,117. The
losses We're distributed among 18 Of
the banks with total Withdrawals of
$13,925.761, while II banks showed
an aggregate gain of $10,S69,644
Only one State bank took advantage
OF its membership in the clearing
house association to issue certificates
which are now outstanding as a liza
bility item of $250,OOO. Nine of the
State banks hold clearing house GER
tificates to the extent Of $1,000
Loans and discounts show a decrease
in the statements Of 10 of the banks
while the value Of stocks, bonds
mortgages, etc, as an item of re-
sources also show general shrink
age. A majoritysssf the banks show
an increase of cash on hand.

From the Boston Transcript.
That there Is a boom for Gov john

light. and he follows approved meth
DDS In visiting the Capital, where he
may be seen Of all Democrats weary
Of the Bryan ascendency. Gov. John
son Is very little known to Eastern
ers. but he has made a brilliant debut
In Washington as one of the most
striking OF the orators at the Gridiron
dinner, justifying Henry Watterson's
declaration Of his capabilities. 1t is
perhaps more than coincidence that
the movement In his support centers
at Baltimore. for the Democrats OF
Maryland are palpably restive under
the Bryan regime. Some Of them
are booming Gray, but the Baltimore
News Is for Johnson, and all of them
remember that in 1896 and in 1900
the state gave It's electoral votes for
Mckinley. In 1904 Parker got seven
electors and Roosevelt one. The
Maryland Democrats are conservative,
for Maryland Is 81 business State and
seldom has taken kindly to radical

MARRIED ON A COTTON BALE.
Plantation Hands Raised it and Used
- 1t as Altar for Wedding.
Selma (Ala.) Dispatch.

! selma (Ala.) Dispatch.
J When Robert Robertson fell is love
with Tebbie Bell the two of them
were picking cotton near Summer
heid' a little country town not far
from here. Roberts close friend was
Perry Braxton, and Perry's eyes look
ed with fondness on the charcoal
complexioned Florence Norris. The
friends fell deeply in love at the same
tme' but cotton picking was not do
ing very much financially by them,
and they looked about for a means of
gaining their plantation sweethearts
and paying the preacher.
The two went in on a proposition of
raisisg enough cotton of their own to
provide them start in married life
and In off times they worked sundry
gore strips of land and cared for their
little patches of the plant.
The first bale Of cotton the field
hand lovers picked from their own
plants was ready to bring to market
yesterday, and Robert and Perry
grinning from ear to ear, followed
Tebble and Florence, blushing furi-
ously but invisibly. arrived in Selma.
!. Yaretsky, cotton factor in Wa
ter Street. bought their big bale and
onered them the money.
The two negro couples fingered in
the cotton factors office until Yaret-
zky's curiosity was aroused anu he
asked them what was the matter.
tdyar's de Bible, n.istah,' said
Robert at last, IAN hyar's de ring TO-
Tebbie's finguh."
IAN hyar's de ring TO- Flo'nce's fin-

| Yaretsky cSlled up a minister on
the telephone, and in a few minutes
this double romance of the cotton
ie4s was being rounded off. The
fot4 had waited eagerly for the pro.
iduction and sale Of that bale Of cot.
Itor. and it had some sentimental
Ivafue to them. So they stood on the
bale as the wedding ceremony was
performed. the minister standing on a
chair.
us yo' gwine honuh an obey dis
lpsggah, Tebbie?'. asked the minister
peefing through his silver-rimmed oc.
tagonal spectacle.
"Suttinly. Amt he mum ma-a-n ?"
retorted Tebble.
"All right" announced the parson.
TEX him an see dat he treats yo'
| right. gal"
Miss Norris" began the parson
turning to the other bride, yo' loves
dis gen'man?"
"Den let not man dissuder what
Gawd Almighty has fined on dis cot

Selma never before had a bale OF
cotton used for an altar or a wedding
as interesting.
