PRESIDENT'S. ADDRESS.
Rev. Joseph T. Duryra opened the after
noon session with prayer , and President C.
F. Bentley of Grand Isla'nd delivered Ms
annual address , as follows :
'Since we last met the business Interests
of this country have been subjected to a
severe strain ; a financial crisis has convulsed
this country , testing the strength of many
an Institution of goodly fame , not only
wrecking the feeble , but Involving some
really sound concerns , " The speaker went
on to state that many concerns had been
caught In the financial malstrom by a lack of
conservatism in their dealings , and thought
that the lesson had been of enough severity
to not again let them forget the principles
of a sound banking system. He dwelt on the
subject of speculation as leading many finan
cially solid men Intodisastrous _ investments ,
and defined the difference between the spec
ulator and conservative business man by sayIng -
Ing that the former gambits on a chance ,
while the latter hedges against it.
"Beginning with the partial loss of crops
In 1SDO and the Baring panic in the latter
part ot the same year , " said Mr. Bentley ,
"we were confronted with conditions that
startled us. Though these conditions were
far from comforting , yet In the light of sub
sequent events they were doubtless of no
small advantage to this state and others simi
larly situated. The financial stringency that
then prevailed caused us to more closely scan
the permanent worth of securities and cred
its , and to challenge the value of certain
kinds of property , and to question whether
certain enterprises were not being unduly
developed as compared with the development
of our chief Industry agriculture , The
effects of financial disorder In Argentine He-
public and Australia and the efforts of Aus
tralia to place Ita currency on a gold basis ,
has exerted serious Influences on American
finances. "
Mr. Bentley then spoke of the prosperity
of the previous twenty years , and the large
amount of foreign capital Which had been
attracted to this country. Inflated values fol
lowed , and Insolvent men Imagined they were
Millionaires. . Banks and other financial in
stitutions became involved , and tlun every
thing declined , bringing about the 'present
crisis. The bank stands exposed on all sides
by the fear of its depositors and the demands
and needs of Its borrowers.
"In our state , opportunities for legitimate
enterprises have been open on eevry hand ,
and both capital and labor reaped rich re
turns. That there should have been no
creater disaster than has been among the
financial institutions ot this state speaks
volumes for the prudence and conservatism
of our business men. But It Is not the part
of wisdom to cover up our'mistakes , or try
to condone our faults. We cannot emphasize
the fact that It wo had been more con
servative we would not have met with any
disaster In these trying times , and more than
one failure has been the result of Ignorance
of business laws ,
"After the severity of the storm had passed
us we at once began to adjust ourselves to
the new conditions and look forward to a
return of our former prosperous condition ,
and the result of the growing crops , but thin
hope has been doomed to bitter disappoint
ment , for In many sections the crops are all
but a total failure , and this fact will seriously
retard the advancement of the state tor the
time being ,
"No duty can weigh more heavily on any
one than the obligation which rests on a
banker to see that the funds entrusted to
his care are properly Invested , and that the
confidence of the depositors may not be mis
placed. Charged with such a duty , Ignor
ance and weakness become criminal , and the
deliberate perversion of a bank'B funds be
comes Infamous. "
The- president recommended the co
operative banking systems of England and
Germany while discussing the subject of
small loons , which la now quite an Important
part of the present banking system. These
banks are conducted much the same a * build
ing associations manage their affairs , and
are the means of giving the people a practi
cal education In general banking laws and
rules.
After the president's address reports were
received from the executive committee , the
secretary and treasurer , showing that Hie
affairs ot the association were In a prosperous
condition , and that the membership was
rapidly Increasing- . Miscellaneous business
reports of various committees and addresses
followed from the different members.
A letter was read from ex-Comptroller of
the Currency Hepburn , In which he advocated
a revision ot the present banking laws , Tha
bankers thought that he offered some wise
suggestions.
C. E , Adams of Superior gave a good re
view o ( the Qnanciil question and hoped to
sea i board appointed to take financial leg
islation out cf the aandt of congress and
place It Into the hatidn at an especially IP-
polnt-d committee. .

ous vein and was followed by E. It. O'Brien

Sullivan you remember him , don't you he is the
man that licked everybody on the face of .the earth and
thought some of getting up a scrap with the man in the
moon. Nobody could lick Sullivan no , indeed the
boys up here bet all they had on Sullivan and then walked
home. Corbett licked him , you know that. You will ob
serve that above there are 3 Su Hi vans-1- and in Omaha
there are as many "old clothing houses" but there is above
also but 1 Corbett , as there is but one "live clothing
house" in Omaha. They've licked everybody thus far but
at last they've met their match and we are the people who
are knocking them out , We knocked them down in the-
first round with a body blow in the shape of our all wool
suit for $5 and when they get too frisky we slap them with
it yet awhile. Then there is that $8 Sawyer cassimere and
the $10 silk mixed cassimere and the $4.50 fall overcoat
Oh , we're in it with them and we're champions , too. None
have trained so well bought so well none can deliver as
hard hits genuine low priced bargains. Watch the boys
hedging they're all coming to our side now and are falling
over each other to see the finish , make and style of the best
and lowest priced clothing on earth.

MISS WELL3 TALKS.
Why She Went to Kuglaml nmlVliySlio So
Huou Itoturneil ,
Miss Ida B. Wells , the young colored
woman who Is devoting her energies to the
continuance of the work which has engaged
the greater past of the life of Fred Doug
lass , arrived In the city yesterday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. During her stay she will be at
the residence cf Rev. John A. Williams ,
Twenty-third and Decatur streets. Tomor
row evening Miss Wells will deliver her lec
ture on "Lynch Law In America , " under the
auspices of Bishop \Vorthlngtcn Lyceum at
Y. M , C. A , hall.
Miss Wells was seen yesterday afternoon by
a representative of The Bee. She Is an at
tractive young woman of a rather quiet demeanor
meaner and Is a fluent conversationalist. She
appears to be thoroughly Imbued with the
spirit ot the crusade In which sbo Is engaged ,
but she was very quiet In her conversatlcn
about the wrongs done to the colored people.
Miss Wells returned from a lecturing tour
through England , where she said she was
received very cordially , about September 1.
Her tour lasted about three months , and was
undertaken at the solicitation cf a lady
philanthropist of that country. Since her
return to this country she has lectured but
larely , consuming the time In recuperation.
On Monday , however , she lectured In Des
Moines , where a large audience greeted her ,
which after her lecture adopted a resolution
denouncing lynch law. From this city she
returns to Chicago , which Is her hcmc , and
on October 1 she will start upon a lecturing
tour , which will embrace the cities of the
north and cast and some In the west ,
In answer to a question as to her object
In lecturing In a country 3,000 miles from
the ono In which the crusade Is being pushed ,
Miss Wells said : "I had tried for a rang
time to bring the attention of the pulpit ,
press and the national bodies to the lawless
ness existing In the country against the
negroes. In almost every case I was
snubbed , and I came to the conclusion that
the public was not In condition to receive the
principles I am advocating. Therefore when
I received the Invitation I thought it an op
portunity I should not neglect , but when I
perceived that public opinion was becoming
aroused here I returned lirimedlately , drop
ping everything. When I arrived In Eng
land the people there had no Idea ol the
outrages committed here against the negro
and I had difficulty In convincingthem. . My
work was chiefly among the religious bodies
that have branches In the United States.
Through them the public In this country
was reached and Influenced.
"About the future ? Well , It Is a moral
force which we are using and success Is sure
If public opinion becomes sympathetic. At
present lynchlngs and burnings ot negroes
take place and the guilty parties are never
punished. What we are striving for Is to
obtain the equal rights which the statutes
give us. The laws say that all citizens ,
whether white or black , shall be treated
equally. Since my return I have found pub
lic opinion to be much more favorable and
ot course my work Is to foster this. Both
the pulpit and the press have given me
much more encouragement than before my
departure to England.
"I do not like to lecture , because I am no
public speaker. The continuous traveling Is
very wearisome. But I think tt ii my duty
to undertake the work. There does not ap
pear to be any one else to do it , and there
fore It Is necessary for me to do it , "
