NEW YORK CLEARING HOUSE.
It's Fiqarss Reach an Amazing Total
What They Mean.

The mind of man Is not capable Of
grasping the meaning which is be-
hind this figures reported in the week
by the clearing house association Of
this city, telling OF the aggregate of
the years transactions of thas associa-
ton. Not even by com pari5ofi with
celestial mathematics and the stupesl-
d0hs computations of the astronomers
who measure distances between heav-
emily bodies and the earth can there
be q good understanding of the colos-
sal total so far as that reflects math-
emat1cS or figures.
The association reports that in the
year which ended October / the total
transactions of the New York clearing
association aggregated 100000. 900, 900,
using round numbers. And of these
transactions, all but $4,000, 030, 00oa rep
resented exchanges. That is to say,
of total transactions aggregating $107,-
000,000,000 only $4,000 000,000 were bal
anced through the payment of cash.
The managers of the clearing house
are convinced that there can be no
better illustration of the manner in
which credit is utilized to effect the
exchanges which constitute our do
mestic and internationa trade than is
to be discovered in these figures
Furthermore, the officers of the
clearing house say that these figures
make it clear that from the point of
view OF business New ork c1ty is the
clearing house of the United States,
the great center toward which almost
all the exchanges which constitute our
trade are attracted, so that New York
city Is not a mere provincial or isolat-
ed or exclusive business community.
but it is in the best meaning of the
term a truly national city. For it is
presumed that a great part and pos
sibly much the greater part of the
exchanges perfected in the clearing
house association in the past year re-
fleets industry, commerce, trade and
finance of the entire United States,
either directly or Indirectly.
Furthermore, the managers of the
clearing house association speak. of the
record made in the clearing house year
which is just ended as of a somewhat
paradoxical character. We have heard
so much about the heaviness of bust
ness. The reaction in the securities
market and the falling off in manufac-
ture that it has been presumed that
the year would be listed among those
which made a poor record.
And yet the transactions of the New
sYork cltaring house made a new high
record and there must have been bus
mess and large financing and great
commerce and heavy marketing of our
products if new record of this kind
has been made. Certainly the record
of the clearing house points to healthy
conditions and emphasizes the claim
of those who insist that our people
have no right to be sounding the cry
of pessimsm Whe nthere is every rea-
son for the most encouraging expecta-
tions.-From New York Letter to the
Cincinnati Enquirer.

WELLS WILL PROBABLY
BE STARTED MONDAY
Superintendent Cookery Hardly Thinks
the Apparatus Will Be Ready to Be-
gin Work Today.

1t was stated on Friday evening by
Supt. J. ]. Cookery of the water de-
partment that the setting UP of the
well driving apparatus is going along
slowly. and ii is probable that worl;
of driving the wells will not be start
ed before Monday. He did not think
that it would be gotten underway to-
day.
At the top of Jail Hill the pressure
from the water pipes is so low that
water is barely forced out CT the fau-
Gets. and in some instances it is said
no water can be obtained. The super
intendent stated that no complaints
of this had been received at the office
although it would not be surprising
Chief Stanton a few days ago took the
pressure from a hydrant in Cedar
street where it is usually 20 pounds,
and found it but about six pounds.
Water would hardly run out of a noz-
zle at that pressure, he stated.

BACkWARDNESS OF MINISTER'S
IN ATTACKING CIVIC EVILS.
Subject of Judge Alfred Colt Before
CongregationaIists in Boston.

Much enthusiasm was aroused at the
luncheon conference of the Congrega-
tlonal Brotherhood at the Twentieth
century club, Boston, Thursday by the
remarks of Judge Alfred Colt of New
London.
Judge Colt made scathing remarks
concerning the backwardness of the
ministers in attacking civic evils.
This is the trouble. | believe he
said, that nine-tenths of the min
listers think that a. man ought to be
prepared for heaven; so far as heaven
school.
Il believe the ministers first ought to
be converted. We ought to begin at
the divinity school. l should teach
them that the work here is not only for
mans soul but for the body.
I believe that when we have con-
verted the ministers we ought to get at
them and teach them that they must
get at the people as they are and not
as they want them to be. Until the
ministers are converted the church
cannot convert the people.
Our cities are rotten. Until the
churches realize that it is their bust
ness to get right down to facts and
find out why, the cities won't be any
cleaner.
When the church gets right down to
study not only the philosophy of the
spiritual Lie DuC the philosophy OIL Ifl1S
life here. then we will be doing what
Christ told us to do
Rev. DR.. William It. McElveen now
of Evanston. ILL.,, recently of the Shaw
NUT Congregational church, Boston, re-
piled to Judge Colt.
4 take exception to a number of
things you say, Judge Colt" said DIR,
McElveen. Il have heard a great deal
about backward courts. / think there
are lot of statesmen who are mighty
backward.
L recall that the greatest municipal
reform this country ever witnessed
was inaug by q New York men,
Charles H. Parkhurst, and he is a
minister. We move little farther
west and we find Washington GLADDEN..
You don't have to leave Boston.

the commissioner says he'll stay on his
job. So now 1 can go to bed"
One minister said: We'll, I'd like to
know what you laity want, anyway"
To which a man replied in a ringing
voice:
It'll tell you what we want We
want ministers to preach and live Jesus
Christ. I don't want my pastor in poll
tics; he must cast his own vote but
he's set aside for other than political
work"

COMPLAINS TO NAVY
Manager Chase Says Sailors
Deceive Ticket Takers.

Manager P. B. Chase, OF the vaudeville
house. last night said navy employees had
resorted TO a subterfuge to evade his ex-
clus.on OF uniformed soldiers and sailors
from the theater by wearing civilian
clothes when they buy their tickets and
attending the performance in uniforms.
He visited Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy Winthrop and entered a protest
yesterday morning. Manager Chase de-
elared the order had been read officially
on the decks OF vessels anchored in the
Potomac and at the Marine Barracks.
He said he was told OF il an hour after
il was issued. and refused to allow four
uniformed marines to enter that night
Saw seamen Barred.
The alleged ultimatum OF the Navy De-
partment was the result OF a complaint
filed by Mrs. c. NJ. Gallagher. Of Dewey

men from the monitor Puritan refused

they were in uniform

It went to the Navy Department TO
protest against an order which was sent
out instructing sailors and marines to
come to my theater and buy their
tickets in citizens clothing from the box
Office and then return 10 the performance

pleasure This order was read on the
Adayhower and at the Barracks
II asked Secretary Winthrop why I
should be annoyed by having tickets
bought by a subterfuge. and told him the
department would avail nothing by II.
The management OF this theater has al
ways reserved the right to refund the
price OF a ticket and refuse admission
thereon. The highest courts in this city
have held that a ticket is a license re-
vokable at the pleasure OF the manage

boxes OF this theater are sold only TO
persons In civilian dress. He asked If
this rule would apply 10 officers. and I
told him that no officer ever had, or

form.
He asked me Jokingly II I weuld re-
fuse admission to the President II he
