Uncle Sans EAGLE.

The eagle is the king Of birds, the
lord Of the sky, the bravest, noblest
and most Independent Of the feathered
tribe, and probably that Is the reason
why he was adopted as our national
bird. His image holds its place upon
our national coat Of arms by sheer
merit and not merely from empty
sentiment The noble bird, loving
liberty. scorning confinement, at home
and at bis best only when invested
with the wide freedom of the glorious
heavens, is the fit emblem of the
spirit Of &C. and Of the government
that that spirit won and established
on the earth. Other peoples entertain
the same high opinion of the eagle.

BERRY TO Be PAROLLED.
BOARD OF PARDONS ACTS FAVORADLY ON
PETITION.
PRISONER BROKEN IN HEALTH
q. Raymond Berry, Convicted OF
Embezzling School Funds, May
BE Released I'm Few
DaVS.

The Board of Pardons has acted
favorably on the petition for the
pardon of G. Raymond Berry and
the chances are that Berry will be
paroled in a few days. Berry has
served about three years of the six
year sentence for the embeZzlement
Of school funds. When Berry was
arraigned on the charge Of embez-
element he entered "A plea of guilty
with the understanding that his
sentence would not be more than
one year in the penitentiary. The
solicitor recommended a light SEN
tence but the judge thought other
w'se and Berry was given six years.
The petition for a pardon was en-
dorsed by Solicitor Spears, and the
judge who passed sentence on Ber-
~ also recommended Il pardon.
The petition recalls one of most
famous cases in the history Mar
ron Berry was school superintend-
ent of education and it was while
serving his second term, having
been reelected by very large ma
jority, that a shortage was discov-
cred in his accounts. He fled to

health and spirit and that he is
scarcely able to perform the light
duties placed upon him at the pen

MORGAN a BUcCANEER.
Hailed - Hours Ago As Saviour Of
Three Banks-Now Charged
That He Wrecked Them
Deliberately.

New York, Jan. 10.-While J. p.
Morgan was hailed "a hours ago as
tie saviour of three New York
banks, sober reflection on the part
OF various financial leaders not in
the Morgan camp to-day led them to
renew his appellation of financial
buccaneor."
Following revelations that if the
Carnegie Trust Company had been
given "a hours longer it would have
been able to continue it's financial
operations, Wall street dealers de-
clare that Morgan had manipulated
cleverly to force a merger Of the
20,0O0,00O Madison Trust Com
rany with his $35, 100000 Equita BILE
Trust Company.
According to a report current in
the financial district Mr.. Morgan
had forced the hands of his oppon-
cnts and practically bagged three
new banks in SO doing; the three
being the Madison Trust, the
Twelfth and Nineteenth ward banks.
The Madison Trust Company is now

eDcy goes over the other two insti-
tu;ions hzS not been made public.
Il is understood, however, that he
forced an agreement to the effect
that the Carnegie Trust Company
shall not be re-organized.
The assertion is made that the
house of Morgan did not expend a
cent but merely lent its name to
avert financial crashes that might
have had n national bad effect. The
money sent by ]. p. Morgan & Co.

needed and was returned. Much Of
