lll.lnry of til. Crime,
About the ISth of March, 1802, a eitizon of
Brazoria county, while aoarohiuK for a lout
pocket knife near Huntington's dam, on Mil-
lican's bayou, near tho »pot at which tho
bayou emption into the San Bernard river,
discovered a piece ot painted wood floating on
tho ivntor, and a closer inspection proved it to
be tho bolster of a wa«on which had been
sunk in the dam. Ho immediately iuforrned
tho noiifhbore that ho thought something was
wrong, and on tho next day thereafter many
citizens assombled and the wagon wiw drawn
from tho water. In the meantime about 150
yards from the dam a dosortod camp was dis-
covered, bods of mow saturated with blood
and the remains of a tire, around which wore
found pieces of tho wagon bed, a part of a
trunk and a huinon arm with the flesh burned
off. Thoso horrible witnesses of a bloody
tragedy wore soon reinforeod by the
discovery of three mutilated human
bodies sunk in tho muddy bank of
the San Bernard. Ono of tho bodies was
headless, armless, legless; tho othor two were
Rnnless and legless. Tho two not headless
were recognized tu being of a party of livo
who had passed through Huntington's farm a
day or two before, who were inquiring about
the lauds of tho county and who had gono to
the San Bernard to camp. The officials were
notified and Huntington's dam was cut mid
the water drained off, but no other bodies
were found. Two of tho company wero gono
and the three horses which wore with the party
aiso. On tho body of ono of tho murdered
mon wero letters addressed to Stovo Cravey
from a friond in Atascosa county. Also bills
of sale from various persons lo Steve Cravey,
but no clow to tho murderers. District Attor-
ney Pineknoy was telegraphed and came,
bringing with him a detective. An inquest
wub held and many witnesses testifleu, but
none gave a solution of the bloody mystery.
Taking th* letter for a starting point, a letter
of inquiry was written to Jones in Atas-
cosa county. He replied promptly, giving a
very minute description of his relatives, Stovo
and Jim Creavey and Smith adding a de-
scription of the horses and wagon which tho
party had with them. In the meantime Hol-
land and Haker, the parties in the crime had
been traveling leisurely without foar. They
stopped at their homo near Luimg. in Fayette
county. There they wore arrested for stealing
a turkey and required to givo a bond of $100
each to appear at tho county court of Fayette
county. They placed in the hands of an olll-
cer $200 cash in lieu of bonds. While they
wero in this trouble Sheriff Bassett of Port
Bend appeared with a warrant for their
nrrost on a charge of murder. With tho aid of
Fayette officials they wero arrested and car-
ried to Richmond, and there turned over to
the sheriff of Brazona county, who placed
them in tho Brazoria jail. On Juno 24,1^92,
tho grand jury of Brazoria county indicted
Holland and Baker for tho murder of Stovo
and Jim Creavoy, — Smith and for theft of
tho horso?. Baker was tried first and, on ac-
count of his youth, was sentenced for life in
the penitentiary. Holland was put on trial
for tho murder of Stove Cravey on July 10,
and on tho 12th tho jury returned a verdict of
guilty, and assessed the death penalty. From
this ho appealed, and tho judgment was af-
firmed by the court of appeals at its fall term
in 1892. In January, 1893, Judge Reese, pre-
siding over tho district court of Brazoria
county, scntencodhim to be hanged on Fobru-
ary 23. Tliero was no doubt of his guilt. Ho
fonff'ssod the murders, but claimed that ho
killed tho men in self defense, and that ho and
Baker cut them up and "planted" them. This
was disproved by the wounds on the heads and
bodies on Stove Cravey and Smith. The evi-
dence was positive and undeniable, for on
their persons wero found the money and cloth-
ing of the murdered men. The crime has no
parallel in the history of Texas for fiendish
brutality and was committed solely for tho
money they thought Stove Cravey and Smith
had. The execution was private, being wit-
nessed only by the statutory number of citi-
zens and the sheriff and his doputios.

Ground Broken at Temple for a New One.
The Third One Corai; g.
Temple, Tex., Feb. 23.—Ground was broken
this morning on a five-acre plat of land on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway track for
tho erection of a large oil mill. The plant ia
to cost $100,000, and the buildings will be of

Scales, represented hero by R. G. Latting.
This company operates big mills atCorsicana,
Paris and other points in Texas.
Another mill is to bo built immediately.
New Orleans and other capitalists are at tho
back of this, and they announce positively
that their mill will go up immediately. Their
location is at the junction of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas and Santa Fe railroad.
Their capital stock is $200,000, and they will
erect a brick houso and put in machinory for
a 150 tons capacity.

ter. ^
AMERICAN VETERANS.
First Beunion of the Association Held aft
Eagle Pass.
Eaolb Pass, Tex., Feb. 23.—The associa-
tion of American Veterans, which originated
on Columbus day and is oomposed of the vet-
erans of the Mexican war and the federal and
confederate veterans of the late civil war,
held its first reunion last night. An elegant
banquet was provided, and soldiers who a few
years ago were seeking each others' lives
sat down together at one common board and
dranu to each other's health and passed a
pleasant evening rehearsing the vivid scenes
they had pasaod through. Fair hands had
decorated the hall in an appropriate manner.
Twenty-one veterans sat down at the table,
two of whom wero Mexican veterans and the
remainder consisting of about equal numbors
of those who wore the blue and the gray.
Viotoria Flashes.
Victoria, Tex., Feb. 23.—Yesterday was
but slightly celebrated here as the natal day
of the father of his country, and so far as the
writer could learn not at all as Texas Arbor
day. The truth of the matter is that the lat-
ter part of February is a bad time of the year
in which to transplant trees in this lattitude,
as has been shown by past experienee. A
largo percentage of the trees set out last Arbor
day faiied to live, while tho contrary was tho
case with trees transplanted in December and
January.
There has been a largo number of deaths
from pneumonia in this vicinity this winter,
the disoaso appoaring to take an unusually
malignant form.
% MiyRobert Dnscoll, wife and daughter th-
rived V thu city from San Antonio to-day.
Mr. Dnscoll. who is one of the leading stock-
mon of southwest Texas, formerly lived here.
Farmers are actively engaged preparing
their land for the coming season's crop. There
has been just rain enough to put tho soil in
excellent condition for working. The acreage
in cultivation will be largely incroasod this
year.
A mild form of bowel complaint, popularly
known as Winter cholera, made its appearance
recently at Faribauit, Minn., and several other
places. No apprehension need be felt from it,

Gonoral 1'. (1, T. Boturegard ranked with that
of Jefferson Davis for magtiiflconco of display
and tho nunibor of participants. Evidcnccs of
mourning wore so gonoral that his sons found
consolation for having disregarded the wish of
their father who requested a private funoral
with littlo ceremony.
Tho doors of tho city hall wero not closcd
during the night. Tho body was guarded by a
detail ot local militiamen, and tho chambcr
of mourning was novor without visitors.

erans took chargo of the remains again, and
from then until tho hour ot tho funeral thou-
sands passed by tho bier and viewed tho body.
When tlio doors wero closed, in order to per-
mit of religious ceromonios, thero wero still
thousands outsido of tho building who wore
unable to gain a fsrowell glance at tho face of
the dead. Floral offerings were numerous,
and outsido of thoso from tho veterans' asso-
ciations and local bodies and individuals there
wero tributes from South Carolina and Mo-
bile. Tho latter city also sent a delegation to
attend tho funeral, as did
bevekal texas cities.

confederate chaplain during tho war, de-
livered a brief and eloquent eulogy upon the
dead.

Wright Schaumburg, General John Glynn,
Colonels W. li. Lyman, J. B. Vinct, W. G.
Vincent and B. F. Eshloman and Captain

judges of tho courts, leading journalists and
many prominent citizens.
Tho body was borno down the stairs of tho
city hall by a detachment of the Louisiana
field artillery and the casket was placed on a
caisson and wrapped in an American flag.
The militia headed the funeral column under
command of General Euclid Borland, every
company in tho city turning out its full quota
of men.
the veteran associations
followed and then camo tho inmates of the
coufoderato soldiers' homo. Then came the
lino of carriages several milos long.
t he various exchanges wore closed, business
was practically suspended and an immense
concourse lined tho stroots to do honor to tho
doad.
Tho romains wero laid away in tho tomb of
the army of tho Tonnesseo at Mctairio, over
which stands a statuto of General Albert Sid-
ney Johnston. Thero was a brief religious
ceremony at tho grave. A company of vet-
erans of tho Washington artillery fired throe
volleys over the gravo. Tho Louisiana field
artillery tired three guns as tho buglers
Bounded "taps," and tho family was loft alone
with tho dead.
Camp Henry St. Paul, one of tho local vet-
eran organizations, has already begun a move-
ment looking to the oroction of a Boaurogard

0AUST10 G0MMENT8,
Some Foroiblo Expressions on Chairman
Harrity's 1 otter.
Washinoton, Fob. £1.—[Special.1—-The
open discussion in congress to-day was not
half so interesting as tlio private discussion of
the Harrity silver letter and the completed
cabinet of tlio next administration.
Tho Harrity lettor was a confidential com-
munication from tlio chairman of tho na-
tional democratic committee, and sought to
ascortain how tine democratic mombers of the
next congress would voto on the repeal of the
Sherman law. The two subjects were intor-
wovon in convorsation and many of the views
expressed wore exceedingly forcible.
Speaking of tho Harrity lettor, Senator
Harris of Tennessee said:
It is idlo to say that the noxt congress
will consent to tho ro|>cal of tho Sherman
act without tho substitution of another
uieasuro of some sort which will recognize tho
uho of silver as money. This will bo tho situ-
ation of affairs rcgardlow of what Mr. Harri-
ty or any one else may say or do."
Senator Pugh of Alabama made tho follow-
ing caustic comment on the appointmout of
Mr. Herbert and Mr. Cleveland's purpose in
making it: "1 am constraint to
believe that the ruling motivo for
Mr. Herljert'e appointmont was tho
courage ho displayed in being tho
only member from Alabama who voted
against 1)5 per cent of his constituents on tho
freo coinage of silver. If it is Mr. Cleveland's
purpose in making his cabinet a unit against
00 por cent of his party to disrupt or muster it
into tho service of tho money kings ho is
doomed to the most signul failure."
"The populists," said Mr. Poller, "regard
Mr. Cleveland as being in sympathy with the
legislation that fattened the pampered classes
iiotwithsandiug his committal to the doctrino
of tariff reform, which is understood to
be intended to correct the evil in that
direction. Naturally such a man would solcct
for his attorney general just such a person as
Mr. Olney, who is a corporation attorney aud
identified with corporations in all ho does and is
Referring to other members of the cabinet,
Mr. PfetTcr continued: "The president-elect
has selected for his secretary of agriculture a
man who is not in sympathy with wostorn
ideas on any subject, thoroughly committed to
class legislation and favoring tho eastern view
of tho money question aud under corporate in-
fluences generally. Tho re is but one member
of the new cabinet who is independent of
party influences, and I refer to Judge Gresham.
"Summing up tho whole cabinet I regard it
as constructed especially to perpetuate exist-
ing conditions against which tho populists
propose to wage war to tho end."
Over on the house side the silver and anti-
silver men took diametrically opposito views
of tho Harrity letter. Reproaenta-
tivo Bland, the leador of the freo coin-
ago democrats, said: "I think it a
piece of impudence, to say the least about it;
1 have heard that information of that sort was
sometimes obtained by tho lobbyists in order
to know whether or not certain measures can bo
put through congress and with this knowledge
they invest their money upon the exigencies of
legislation. It is unprecedented proceeding,
and every member of tho houso who has the
least spark of manhood or self respect will
tell the members of that committee that it is
none of their business."
Representative Outhwaito of Ohio said: "I
think it an eminently proper thing for tho
national committee to endeavor to find
out how members stand. It shows
the democratic organization is attempting to
keep its pledges to the people. No, I do not
think it means coereion of mombers at all.
I think it does mean the strongest kind of
persuasion."
Representative Pierce of TennesBee, who
has been, perhaps, tho most iuefatigable
worker in tho houso in behalf of freo silver
coinage: "I think the letter an infamous
outrage. It is another attempt to bulldozo
incoming members of congress, back of
which, I believe, is Mr. Cleveland. I believe
the next house will not bo bulldozed by the
national committee, Mr. Cleveland or any-
body else. Members of tho noxt houso will
remember that whilo Mr. Cleveland hold tho
patronsge the people hold the ballots."
Air. Springer of Illinois, chairman of tho
committee on ways and means said: "Of
course the lotter is all right. Mr. Harrity was
merely seeking for information. The letter
was a confidential ono and I do not under-
stand how it happened to be published, but
there is nothing wrong about it."
"I have not read the letter, but tho national
committee has nothing to do with tho mat-
ter," said Representative William L. Wilson
of West Virginia.
The general commcnt on the cabiiet was of
a favorable character. Ex-Spoaker Reed of
Maine added this characteristic capsheaf:
"I think Mr. Cleveland changed his mind
about appointing me to a place in the cabinet
becauso of some speech which Mr. Hill or
some other democrat mado about me, and I
am disappointed."

A Paying Teller Confesses.
Wilmington, Del., Feb. 23.—Peter E.
Smith, paying teller of the First national
bank of this city, is a solf-confessed embezzler
to tho amount of $55,900 and is now in charge
of the United States marshal and will be given
a hearing to-morrow morning.
J. P. Winchester, who became president of
the bank in Novembor last, has been trying
for a long time to have Smith mako a balance
sheet, hut the teller kept postponing tho work.
Last Saturday two other clerks wore directed
to mako the sheet, which they did on Sunday,
reporting a shortage on Monday. To-day
Smith sent for Winchester and confessed his
crime. Ho then delivered himself to the
United States marshal.
Smith's method was to take cancelled
oheks from the »afe, put them on the spindle
through the cancellation holes and pocket tho
amount of tho check, the last payment not
being charged against depositors.
Bank Examinor Stone says tho bank is solid
and fully able to pay depositors every cent,
over half tho surplus of $127,000 remaining
intact.
Smith's oonfesslon agrees with the result
obtained in making the balance sheet. Ho
had boon taking money for fifteen years.

BP0BTING TOPICS.
(trowing Suspicions of Mitchell.
Nkw Yom, Fob. 23.—Tho impression that
Pugilist Charlo. Mitchell Is ondoavormg to
find a loopholo to crawl out of tho match with
Corbett is gaining ground among tho sporting
gentry horo, and numerous wagers of six to
five havo already beon mado that tho Britisher
will not enter tho same ring with C'orbott.
Brady Buy. Hint whatever proceedings go
on botwocn him and Mitcholl ho will insist
upon having witnesses to tho conference. If
on Saturday Mitcholl tries to avoid a match
Brady says ho will immediately drop liini and
mako the match with Jackson.
No Ti'lilli Ilk It.
Niaoaha Falt.8, Ont., Feb. 24.—'Thoro i. no
truth in tho report that tho chief of tho On-
tario police has rocoived instructions to arret
or in any way interfere with tho Mitcholl-Cor-
bett party when they come here to sign the
articles for the light.
Tho town council, at a meeting last Monday
night, unanimously decided not to interfere
with the lighters on their arrival, and tho
mayor says ho will not rebel against tho action
taken by the local authorities.
Mitchell l'lnylng tho Humbug.
New York, Feb. 23.—Charley Mitchell has
mado a public declaration that ho will not
meet Brady. Corbott's manager was in Can-
ada Saturday to sign articles, despito the fact
that ho gave hi. word ho would. This after-
noon ho said he now wants the $10,000 stako
money deposited in Now Orleans.
Beforo Mitcholl loft tho Gcdney houao this
afternoon ho issued a lettor in which he says,
in substance, that ho cauio to this country for
no other purpose than to fight Corbott. In
orderto complete arrangements for tho fight
ho has conceded point uftor point to Corbet,
to convince tho public that ho was nnxious
to fight. Aftor conceding practically every-
thing, he says the police threatened arrest if a
deposit of $10,000 is made or articles signed.
Mitcholl says ho is not anxious to be sacrificed
upon tho law's altar for violation of statutes
against pugilistic encounters. He remarks
that there was no agitation against prize
fighting
until he came to xiii. col'ntbt,
and proposes that Corbott meet him in some
state whore articles may be signed without
transgressing tho laws. To this oud he sug-
gests New Orleans.
The statement that Mitchell dosires the
money posted in New Orleans has caused con-
sternation among the managers of tho Coney
Island athletic club, ns it virtually means that
Mitchell wants to fight in Louisiena and not
in the north.
It is said that Corbett will insist upon fight-
ing boforo tho Coney Island club, eo it is
most likoly tho tight will fall through.
Brady, it is said, will drop Mitchell and
mako u match with Peter Jackson on Mon-
day.
Brady and Mitcholl mot to-night, and the
meeting resulted in tho proposed trip to Can-
ada bomg abandoned and tho match being
virtually declared off.
Mitcholl will go to Now Orleans with Jim
Ilnll and socond him in his fight on March 8,
with Bob Fitzsimmons.
If Corbott dosires to open negotiations there
it is all right Mitchell says if ho does not,
Mitchell will return to England.
A Fight Aftor A11.
New York, Feb. 23.—Judging from latest
development, the Mitcholl-Corbett fight will
take placo. William A. Brady, Corbett's
manager, and Mitchell, accompanied by
Squire Abingdon, met at the Gedney house
to-night and had a conference. Tho
result of tho conference was that
both men agreed to fight and to do away with
ail further dickerings. Mitchell has already
deposited a certified check for $10,000 with a
well known sporting man, whose name both
parties refused to mako public lest he be ar-
rested. Tho stakeholder i« satisfactory to both
Brady and Mitchell. Articles of agreement will
most likely be signed in private, and not at
New Orleans or in Canada. Mitcholl has not
gone to Canada, as given out this evening. Ha
will not leave the city for a couple of days at
least.
Brady left on tho 12 o'clock train for Bos-
ton. Beforo going ho Baid ho thought
Mitchell was now sincere in his desiro to ar-
range the match. The match may bo mado
to-morrow or Saturday.
Mitcholl said to-night that tho smaller tho
ring in which ho meots Corbett tho better it
will suit him. He said ho would givo Corbott
$1000 for every foot ho will allow tho ring to
be mado smaller than the regulation size. Ho
says ho is going to New Orleans to witness the
Hall-Fitzsimmous fight and not to make a
match.
The opinion prevails here among sporting
men that Mitcholl does not want to fight in
the north, but prefers to go south. Mitchell
denies this and said he would as soon fight
horo as in Now Orleans.
Brady hnB received a dispatch from Corbott
saying he is Bick with cold and it will bo ut-
terly impos3iblo for him to appear with his
company in Minneapolis to-night or to-mor-
row, but he expects to be well by Saturday.
Corbett Sick.
Minneapolis, Minn., Fob. 23.—Fighthor
James Corbott is sick at a hotel in this city
suffering from the effects of a severe cold con-
tracted Tuesday aftor taking a five mile run.
His company gave no performance to-night.
O'Brien Won.
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 23.—Billy Welsh of
this city and Al O'Brien of Philadelphia, light
weights, mot in the arena of the Buffalo atb-
lotic club to-night for a purso of $11X10 and
side stake of liko amount. Both had trained
hurd for tlio event and entered the ring in
perfect condition.
O'Brien was the favarito in betting and was
liberally backed by the delegation of Phila-
phia sports. O'Brien won in the tenth round
by a kuock-out blow. The fighting was fast
and interesting throughout.
Welsh euprised the crowd by his clover work,
but was clearly outclassed.
Ctriflln Hutted ituelifumn,
Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 22.—The Buchanan-
Griffin fight came off last night in Turner hall
and wound up in a sensational manner. After
two rounds Griffin put a sudden termination
to tho contest by butting bis opponent on the
sido of tho head and knoening him out. Rof-
ereo Ryan promptly gave his decision to Buch-
anan.
Told of Mr. Carlisle.
Cincinnati Commercial.
Mr. Carlisle is a masterly pleader beforo any
bar. Kentucky judges look upon his appear-
ance before them as a star attraction instead
of a part of a wearisome routine of duty, and
Kentucky literature has been enrichcd by
many stories of the senator's legal career.
On one occasion Mr. Carlisle had an im-
portant case that tho othor sido was sure of
winning. Mr. Carlisle labored faithfully on
his arguments, and produced a spoeeh that
thrilled all auditors and deeply impressed the
bench. The moment he had concluded the
judge ordered court adjourned till afternoon.
The opposing counsel objected strenuously,
ploadint' that it was no where near the dinner
hour, and that he was ready and anxious to
proceed. But the judge was not to bo moved.
"What," said ho, "spoil the taste of such an
argument as that? Never, sir. I mean to en-
joy a good thing when I havo tho chance to.
Tho court will adjourn."

MONEY AND BANKi
Home Considerations Favoring the Estab-
mont of a State System.
Houston, Tex., Fob. 20.—To Tub News:
Money is but security for the safe conduct of
oxchatigos—business.
Banking is for its storngo, handling, and a
facility for its transfor, and may bo proporly
omitted from tho discussion, ns wo may con-
clude, aftor obtaining it, to bank it or not—an
after consideration.
Tho owner of the sccuritiofl may proporly
bo considered as naturally having the right to
call forth tho oxistouco of inouey—the right to
issue it.
To regulate the issue and domand tho fixing
of the pledgo is a matter of publio concern;
bo, also, is the selection of a standard of valuo
and a unit of vulue. This latter may bo said
alroady to havo been done by the general gov-
ernment in tho gold standard and its unit.
Wero the standard to be silver instead of gold,
it would not nll'cct us, as far as futuro business
is concerned, ono iota. Wo would only bo
changing tho basis of calculating values and
in measuring value. It would bo similar to
changing the yard measurement of cloth to a
measurement id feet, if tbo value of tho unit
was proportionately lowered.
Ah soon as wo found the marketable rela-
tion of values between the old unit and tho
now ono, tho valuo of the thing could easily
bo found in tho old standard; hut for tho tmko
of truth and integrity, let not the American
word dollar mean a higher and a lower valuo,
as it may suit us to determine at tho point of
exchange, which bimetallism and double stand-
ard mean.
Louvmg this to national regulation, the issuo
of state money seems about to be relegated to
tho Btatos—nearor hotne. Texas state monoy
will have to bo secured by Texas wealth. Any
of it that has the force of calling a loan of
money from tho outsido ought to bo consid-
ered a Bullicicnt basis for issue. It is proba-
ble that much of it that could not bo accom-
modated from abroad might be worthy as n
basis for issuo at home, undor proper regula-
tion.
Tho great tondency to overissue must bo
carefully chocked. A great deal ha3 beon said
lately ubout tho French experiment with their
asaignats, and in connection therewith tho
whole plan of a stato paper monoy has been
Hiieoringly alluded to and by many cast aside,
l'robabiy if the study had been to find out its
strong points—for it auswored admirably for
a time—and eliminating its weak points, it
might prove to havo large elements of worthi-
ness. lleforo going further, it may bo well to
noto that aa to the ease in countorfoiting paper
money this objection can be overcome by tho
goneral government supplying the paper,
printed of different form, tor each state, with-
out any guarantee to remedy it.
The main detect in the French assignata
nnd mandate, as woll as in all othor issues of
paper monoy that has come to notice, is its
maturity and natural death, or rather its laclc
of it. The holder of any medium of exchange
should not be allowed to select a date of
maturity, but each pieco should distinctly
state a date aud place of maturity, empha-
sized by a call from some publio function-
ary, by series and numbers, so that, whilo
according to necessity, a continual issue is
provided for, a continual exit is also provided
as a safety valve.
A specific lump of wealth fixod for securi'y
for tho public benefit should lie behind every
permit to issuo, and the amount issued thero-
against, regulated in regard to its popular
value at tho time, and its extinguishment dato
in regard to the permanency of ita value, its
probable depreciating aunual ratio, and the
time applied for.
Tho grouud is hero taken that public prop-
erly, having no commercial value, is not a
propor basis of issue; that private property
alone can be. Then it follows that private
property owners alone naturally have tho
right to issue secured notos, to be used for the
safe conduct of business. They have tho vital
thing, safe for tho producer to accept as a
pledgo that tho crop will bo marketed accord-
ing to contract, and its procoeds returned to
tho community. The woalth so pledged can
rodooin itself either in a return of its own
notes or national money, or othor current
stato monoy; for, if he can not find his own
notes, they will m time find the deposit to
cover. Say at tho state treasury; and being
good there, will be good at any stato bank.
To put it differently, at any bank in the state;
and being good thero would hold them good
at any othor bank, less codt of exchange.
Whilo this would not bo stato absorption of
tho commercial functions of banks it would
be something of a stato clearing house.
As handlers of mouoys and seekers of chan-
nels of usefulness for moneys, and solliug ex-
changes, banks might properly be deuiod the
issuing privilego, as their whoio availablo as-
sets might bo considered as previously pledged
to its patrons for good faith in the conduct of
its affairs. Details are simple of arrangement.
The working of tho plan would be in the di-
rection of a lowering of interest and a cash
basis. _ F. C. Wbavku.

Mr. Wanamaker's Columbian stamp has

Columbus in bluo with a smooth face and Co-
lumbus in yellow with chin whiskers and a

other color, with his name spoiled wrong and
a perspective of truly thrilling interest. But
the visitation was evanescent. It faded
soon. Perhaps the people are not yet edu-
