National Bank, Shreveport, La.
Dear Sir-Replying to your favor
of the GOTH, as a general PROPOSE
ton, it is very hard for city to
sell bonds up to 10 per cent Of its
assessed valuation. The conserva-
tive investor of municipal bonds
does not as rule like to purchase
bonds of city where the debt is
greater than 5 per cent. II would
seem, however, that your city would
be able to sell its bonds, IL legally
issued, up to the 10 per cent of its
assessed valuation, provided the
rate of interest was attractive. We
think il quite likely that some bond
houses would be willing to purchase
the bonds of your city, bearing 5 per
cent interest, due in say twenty
years without option of prior pay
ment if they could get them at par
or possibly a trifle less. We would
not ourselves be in the market to
purchase bonds where the portion
of debt is SO large, but If we can be
OF any possible assistance in placing
these bonds we would be very glad
to have the opportunity.
Yours very truly,
Signed. GEO. B. CALDWELL,
Manager Bond Department, Con-
tinental and Commercial Trust and
Savings Bank.

first week a general reformation was
apparent, the stationery waste not av-
eraging over one or two sheets by each
operator. Greater care was exercised
to avoid errors, and when they did
creep In. erasures were made instead
Of the former habit of consigning the
entire sheet to the waste basket and

tionery in packages OF 200 or 500
sheets, which makes II easy to adopt

At the same time a record of the en-
tire supply of stationery on hand may
be kept by subtracting each time a
package OF 500 letterheads is given to
stenographer the amount from the
total. When the supply begins to look
diminutive, more may be ordered from
the printer, which method will avert
the panic which usually results when
some one suddenly announces in tho
office that the stationery is all gone"

REFINING Copper Articles.

Returning copper articles may be
made a simple or rather complicated
process. A simple method is the fol
lowing: Scour the article thoroughly,
wash and dry. Then heat it sufficient
ly to melt pure strip tin when brought
in contact with 1t. Rub the tin over
the hot surface and spread smoothly
with a lump Of tow. Here is some
thing little more elaborate: Boil the
copper piece In water solution of
soda to remove all grease. Then soak
it in pickle of diluted spirits of
salts-say a pint OF killed spirits to
three pints Of water-remove and
wipe dry with clean cloth Heat the
article over a gas flame or coke
fire, then with pad of tow wipe the
tin over the surface.

Giovanni Enabled Jay to Escape
From Legal Predicament by Re-
moving Evidences Of Certain
Stock Transactions.

For many years there were all sorts
of surmises and conjectures to explain
the queer intimacy and kindly protect
ing association which characterized
the relations of Jay Gould with Clio
vanni Morosini. Mr.. BOrosini died
two years ago, leaving an estate esti-
mated at six million dollars, and this
was regarded as the fruits Of his close
association with Jay Gould, and as a
great fortune to be accumulated by a
man who was believed to have begun
life as a sailor before the mast.
The explanation which was com
monty accepted as the true one for
this business and personal intimacy
was that at some critical time in Jay
Gould's career, when his life was
threatened, or when he was In danger
Of bodily injury, Mr.. Morosini had
protected him so as to avert the dan
ger, and thereafter became Gould 8
personal bodyguard.
But this was not the explanation

sonal friend upon an occasion when
he and this friend were brought for
several days into very cordial and In
innate relations

Sherman's Simulated Anger

Sherman. having returned to Washing

postmaster general he asked What

postmaster In Ben LeFevre's dis
trict? 1t was done >over my head:

The postmaster general thought the
better way was to tell Senator Sher-
man the whole story. When he I'm

express my indignation at this un-

Craftlness Of Great Statesman Hue
trated by His Protense Of Rage for
Edifcation Of Groups Of
ConotItuonts.

John Sherman. great statesman
though he was. could be at times as
crafty a politician a. the next one;
and l know of no better anecdote H.
Illustrating this point than the hitherto
unpublished one of the manner In
which Sherman simulated anger for
the edification of . protesting group
Of constituents.
During the entire period that he had
a seat in the lower house of congress.
which stretched from 1879 to 1887.
BENJAMIN LeFevre of Sidney. Ohio,
was one Of the most popular men in
that body. He had as many friends
on the Republican side as he had
among the Democrats. and by reason
OF his personal popularity he was one
Of the conspicuous members OF the
house.
On a very hot day in April. 1881.
Ben LeFevre went to Prcc.ident Gar
field with the request, that the latter
appoint a new postmaster In certain
town In LeFevre's diStrict.
Why. Ben said the president,
you know l cannot appoint Demo
crat postmaster. even to oblige you"
Il don't want you to appoint Dem
ocrat, General" replied LeFevre, also
veteran OF the civil war Il ask
you to appoint a good Republican, a
man who left leg on the battlefield,
and staunch supporter Of YOU
What is the matter with the pres
snt postmaster. Benz" the president
asked.
IT'S a personal matter; the man
has gone out of his way to insult me-
and i don't propose to stand it. The
man l ask you to appoint is as good
a Republican, and he was brave sol
| der, besides"
The president hesitated a moment
Ben" he went on, IF you'll do what
tell you. think you can get your post
master appointed and confirmed. John
Sherman is out of town today. You &C
right to the capitol, call out Senator
Pendleton, tell him am going to send
the name of the man you want ap
pointed postmaster to the senate i'm
mediately, and ask him to get the con
firmation through at once. Then, il
that is done, hurry back here with the
commission, and I'll sign It,"
AS soon as a driver could urge 6
sweating horse up to the capitol, Der
LeFevre was at the senate chamber
and In consultation with Senator
George II. Pendleton, Democrat. The
senator agreed to expedite confirma
ton. A few moments later the APP
pointment was received by the senate
and Senator Pendleton moved that tn,

that session he made a personal plea
saying that the appointee was a gooC
Republican-none better in the dis
trict-and he would take it as a per
sonal favor II there was immediat,
confirmation. His appeal was needed
and an hour later the commission o
the new postmaster was signed.
On the following morning, Senate
