Sermon Omitted at Services Con-
Quoted by Three Bishops at
St, Georges, New York.

NEW YORK. April 14.-Simplicity
and quiet solemnity marked the funer-
AL services conducted to-day in st
Georges Episcopal Church over the
body of j. Pierpont Morgan.
But for the prominence of those
who attended the church services
there was nothing about the funeral
ceremonies that would not have at
tended the oOsequies of the most
humble person, There was no display,
no gaping crowds to watch the TAX
ing Of the body to the church.
The service itself was of compare
tive brevlty, utterly lacking in pomp
or anything that resembled praise for
the dead financier and was in exact
accordance with the wish he outlined
i'm writing nearly a decade ago.
The church was crowded 10 its
doors, and among the 1900 mourners
were the leaders in the financial po-
utical and social affairs of the ma

SENATE To HEAR
FINANC|ERS On
SAFE BANK BILL
Owen Committee Will Hold Pub
lie Meeting to Get Views on
Measure.

WASHINGTON. April l4.-Public
hearings will be held by the Senate
Committee on Banking and Currency
in the near future. Leading men of
finance will be asked to come before
it and explain financial conditions.
The dates have not been fixed. but
the sittings win begin at an early
day. for the committee expects TO
report its bill the moment the tariff
measure approaches the end of its
consideration.
Senator owen said to-day the COM
mittees of the Two houses and the
President will work together, and
when the measure is introduced it
will have the approval of the Execu-
tive. Both chairmen had separate
conferences to-day with Secretary
McAdoo

President Wilson has been consult
ed frequently and is hopeful the
tariff will be out of the road in plenty
Of time to permit of definite action
on the currency question at this ses-
sion.
It is quite likely that modified
form of guarantee of bank deposits
will be recommended by Chairman
Owen when his committee takes up
the bill. The plan, so far as he has
worked it out, eontemplates the erea-
ton of q fund to insure Immediate
payment to depositors after a bank
has failed.
This payment is to be proportion
ate to the visible assets Of the failed
bank, and the amount withdrawn
from the guarantee fund viii be re-
imbursed as fast as the assets are
converted into cash. knowledge OF
this arrangement through the opera

fears of the public in times of hnan-
cial alarm and prevent much OF the
distress when panics come.

He pointed out that there now is

This would create a surplus Of

Kinq's Watch in Pawn.

A time-honored London tavern, the
Castle, at the corner of Cowcross
street, facing Harrington street, en-
joys the unique distinction of being
also fully-licensed pledge shop.
Over a door in the bar, which gives
access to the landlords private room,
and thrown into bold relief by the
official document behind it, the his,
toric three-sphered symbol is dis
cernible. Anyone may here negotiate
loan upon his personal belongings
without being under the necessity Of
first calling for refreshment.
This strange combination Of bust.
ness dates from the reign Of George
", who, after attending a cock fight
at Hockley-in-the-Hole, applied to the
landlord of the castle for a temporary
accommodation on the security Of his
watch and chain.
By royal warrant a few days later
he invested that obliging boniface
with the right of advancing money on
pledges, and from that time down to
the present a paWnbroker's license
has been annually granted to the
Castle. This hostelry is mentioned
once or twice by Diclens.-Stray

to the Laws of Health.

Robert Louis Stevenson, for SO wise
man, seems to have been singularly
unaware of, or Indifferent to, the laws
of health, but that, too, may have
been part of his wisdom He spent
the winter of 1887 in the Adirondacks
struggling against the disease which
was not to subdue him for seven
years. He lived in a little cottage that
was much overheated and from which
all ventilation was carefully excluded.
The smoke of his incessant cigarettes
obscured the atmosphere and perhaps
helped to drive away the visitors who
came to gaze upon him as one gaZes
at lion in den. Fashionable call
ers were specially unwelcome and
Stevenson once remarked, according
to an account in the Medical Record,
that cit isn't the great unwashed
which I dread, but the great washed"

HUNTING FOR BLACK OPALS
Gem Is Found in Matrix of lronstone
and Sandstone in Australia
Sapphires Rank Next

The gem most sought after in Aus
tralia is the black opal, declares a
writer in the Daily Consular and
Trade Reports. 1t appears in limited
quantities in the matrix of ironstone
and sandstone in the Lightning Ridge
district of New South Wales 1t is
estimated that since 1890 opals val
ued at over $5,500,000 have been found
in the state of New South Wales. The
state OF Queensland also produces
many opals, the production up to the
present time amounting to nearly
s1,O00.O00.
Sapphires rank next among Aus
traiian gems in value of production.
They are found in New South Wales
and in Queensland, chiefly in the lat
ter state, in the gravel or creek beds.
The gems show excellent fire and
luster, but the color is darker blue
than the oriental sapphire. In Queens
land the present production amounts
to about $4,000 per year, the total
output to date being about 100000.
Other precious gems found in diff
ferent parts of Australia include emer-
aids, turquoises, topazes, ircons, gar
nets, rubies, amethysts, tourmalines
and beryls. Diamonds are found to a
limited extent in New South Wales
and in South Australia. In the latter
state the total production up to date
has been somewhat over $500,000,
These diamonds found locally are
used mostly for glass cutting, while
South African diamonds. are mostly
used in the jewelry trade. Pearls
found in pearl shall fishing along the
northern coast of Australia are usual
" small, but their aggregate value Is
probably considerable.

ALL AUTHORS ARE TALKATvE
If You Know One, Be TactfuI and Let
Him Converse About His
Work

I know nothing about really great
authors, but [ think l speak for a
large number of the followers Of the
trade when I say that they like to
talk about their work, one great rea-
son being that writing is lonely pro-
fession. If you write as a rule you
must do it by yourself; or if you do
attempt it in company, you or the
company will be sorry. Therefore,
when the writing is done, and sym
pathetic listener offers, the writer is
glad to wipe out some Of the lonely
hours with little conversation.
So, if you know an author, don't be
too breathless about his calling; treat
him like human being. Let him talk
q little, and do not be shocked if he
manages to keep the tears back when
he tells you about his last short
story. Only, be tactful.
Do not say, as an eager acquaint-
ance once said to me: ooh, I do think
1t is so interesting to write. 1t must
be just fascinating when your manu-
scripts come back!" 1 discovered af-
terward that she meant proofs in
stead of manuscripts, but the mistake
of just that single word made me,
who am usually SO garrulous about
my trade, feel for the time being that
I really did not care ever to speak
of it again. So L repeat, let the poor
author talk, but be tactful.-Atlantic
Monthly.
