when tarried to Its full intent, will make

Western, with Captuln Pill Massle, and
many other", hail a monopoly of transpor

traffic will stand" was not the motto, but
all the boat owner wanted to ask was the
rata.
After railways touched the river, and
the profits were cut. the rapid Illack

banks of the Missouri, with the first Mien
whistle, and bright with Its electric liidita.
wai a source of wonder t) the Indians
along the bank, who looked upon these
new , developments as something beyond
mortal achievements. This boat was the
fastest on the river. It being on record
that It made the run on the swell of the
June rise, from Tort Pierre to Yankton be
tween early morning and dark. Others of
that day were the .Josephine, Captain Uilly
Oould, who la yet Iri the government serv
ice; the Silver Lake, with Tom Marrlner
at the wheel, and the' general Terry, run
by Captain Wolfolk, which went down at
Omaha while transporting troops from Fort
Yates to points down th river.
Light Boats) In 'Kervlce.
All these daya are gone, but the llght
draft gasoline, boata. run 'at a compara
tively low cost, are yet making points
along the stream, and hauling freight at
profit, and It Is Intended to utilize and
4eveloD thla line of service to act as a
regulator of freight rates. Merchanta of
this city and Fort Pierre, and other towns
long the river, are? to : be canvassed to
find what amount of -freight they would
guarantee from down river points to the
boata which would, be willing to engage
In the business. . it is intended to ship
from the river points, Sioux City, Omaha.
Kansas City or St. Louis, which will give
the merchants the-nearest to the Chicago
rate on their purchases, and when it la I
demonatrated that freight which is bulky
and not necessarUy "rush," can be secured
In thla way. the rail rate will have to meet
It at the points, or let the boata have the
business. '
The boats would not need to rely entirely
upon up-river traffic ae they could pick
up many shipments for down-river points
If It were known .that a service which
could be relied upon with any degree of
regularity could be secured. At Fort
Pierre, It haa been discovered that the
gumbo will makavaa fine a pressed brick
aa caa be manufactured at any place In
the country, an a company la putting in
a plant to turn out, this product next year,
and promises that it will furnish a largo
amount of river freight to the man who
foes Into the transportation business.
Captain B. Benechal & Sons, who have
been operating two gasoline ferries at thla
:lty, find their business cut down by the
railroad bridge and are ready to put one
of their boata. with a barge. Into auch a
service aa aoon as It la ahown to them
that the freight la to be had. and will be
ready to atart with the opening of navi
gation next year. If they are properly
ahown.
Concerted Action Needed.
Besides being a freight regulator, such
service would act as another benefit.

LONE WOMEN AT THE THEATER

Restate that of the 'Es
cort. "I have lately noted nt the tiieater new
evidence of woman's emancipation," said a
man who still retains some of the southern
prejudices which he acquired In. his youth.
"1 do not refer to her going to tile theater
alone.
"In smaller cities, and especially In Ihe
south, from which I hall, such a thing la

a woman may go to the theater unaccom

and thereby render herself less liable to

NEW YORK, Nov. IT. "I hi li
said
Secretary Cortrlyou to the erehanta' as
sociation In New York, "thst if the money
of the country, wherever hoarded, were
at once put buck to fulfill its functions
In the channels of trade, there would be
within twen'ty-fotir hours an almost com
plete resumption of business operations.".
It Is upon the situation thus adverted to
Hint attention converged In the flnunclal
world during all the last week. The seat
of the difficulty was tlte subject of con
stant and somewhat differing discussion,
but the differences did not check the dili
gent and powerful efforts to remedy th"
difficulty timl the. declining tendency of the
premium on currency was the Index of the
glowing success of these efforts. The
premium on currency is Inert nnlngly un
derstood to lie, In reality, a discount on
bunk, checks, caused by the dislocation of
exchange operations growing out of the
widening effects of the shock of the upset
In banking affairs following the runs on
trust companies In New York.
Speculators Ilonril Currency.
It Is acutely observed, however, that the
payments for the currency nnd for the
premluma In these transactions have been
made In certified checks on certified banks,
and proceeds of the transactions have found
their way Into bnnk deposits, notwith
standing that the holding of the currency
was supposed to involve a distrust of the
banks. From this it Is inferred that the
conditions were precipitated In no . small
part, by the deliberate hoarding of money
on a large scale, by speculators who sought
a profit In the operation by this means.
Severe animadversion on such a course of
conduct is much needed. It Is estimated,
however, that the eKect of the ruling
premium on currency haa already been to
draw ouC from hoarding a very large pro
portion of the cash which was withdrawn
from tne New York trust companies during
the runs and thus restore It to the channels
of the banking operations.
Money Moves Inland.
Another factor In the depletion of the
currency which received growing atten
tion has been the sweep of resources Into
Interior banks, where It has apparently
disappeared In large part as completely
from the hanne" ot t,ie circulation aa

Volume of Money Increase).
It Is notable that the seeming famine of
currency exists in the face of an actual
volume of money in circulation or avail
able for the circulation, larger than ever
before. The monthly statement of the
Treasury department showed the amount
of ail kinds of money In circulation on
November 1 to be J2,S76,3t,000, which was
an increase, compared with October 1, up
wards of 176,000,000, represented largely by
the deposits of government funds, which
were made with the banks after the crisis
developed In October. Since that time re
ceipts from abroad of upwards of 133,000,000
ot gold and a rapid expansion of bank
note issues has liberally replenished the
November first supply.
With the stream of Incoming gold run
ning still at full tide, early relief ia looked I
for from the present condition. Moreover,
with the first evidence of distinct relief,
It is expected that all barriers will quickly
fall, which are at present withholding
cash from the channels of activity, and
the return flood will come with a rush.
The time when this will happen depends
on a atate of mind of the whole people,
rather than on events In the material world.
The happy and prompt results to follow
from the attainment of this state of mind,
which are so concisely depicted by two
i words of Secretary Cortelyou, are so obvi
ous that hope Is strong that It will come
at an early period and so release the coun
try from the vorst embarrassment, arrest
the harm that haa been done and leave
the way open for Immediate repair.
SIMPLE TALE OF HEROISM
Mow One Nevr' York Polleemnn
I held the Majesty of
Vb"
I the law. j
j Not since the time of Recorder, Hacked !
haa any man in high authority In Greater ,
I New York made such a spectacle of him- '
aelf as did Commissioner Bingham recently.
Here Is a young man whose experience j
j In dealing with the complicated problems ;
. of the police department has extended over I
a little more thun a year. Trior to that '
: time he had been a recipient of the
bounty of the government in the shape of
an afmy ofllce. It Is a sad tiling that
' Commissioner Bingham hasn't a little
poise. He could lead a regiment ln
! forlorn hope. I haven't a doubt; but he
' haa not the capacity to recognize the
natural protest that a New York police
; officer deslna to makje, after thirly-sevcn i
years' faithful aervlce; Of course, a po
liceman la not a solder. But. let me tell
Commissioner Bingham, with thirty ye.irs' I
experience in all branches of news gut her- J
Ing In this big city, that tho average police- j
man confronts mortal danger a score of
tlir.es during every ten years' service to
one that the West Point officer does!
Never shall I forget the plain, unemo
tional reporjt made by a policeman in the
Mercer street station who had arrested a
muiderer In one of the saloons in that
neighborhood. That happened to be a night
at police headquarters for mo and about
1 o'clock In the morning a messenger inn
ln to say that there bad been a murder In
a saloon ln the Immediate vicinity. The
bur.ch of us got there In less time tnan is
taken la writing down the fact. Tlieru we
found a single policeman, standing over a
burly crisp who lay prone upon the floor.
He was semi-conscious, but the crowd that
surrounded the single policeman was
menacing and dangerous. In the buck room
of the boosing den lay a dead n.un. He
wasn't of any Importance. His death didn't
matter; but there, in our presence, stood
the representative cf the law In all majasty!
Never saw I a more calm, dignified figure.
I cannot recall the hero's name. When
assistance arrived and handcuffs had been
placed upon the murderer I asked the pale,
resolute ofttcer what had happened, and
trta is absolutely all lie said:
"1 happened tu be going I t the door
of this place, on my beat, when I heard a
pistol shot. 1 pushed open the door and
enterrd. As I passed down this room the
man I have here came from the hark room
with a smoking revolver In his hand. 1
ordered him to stop. In reply he pushed
the gun Into my fact- and pulled tlte trig
ger. 1 thought of the wife and the two
babies, that wns all. He pulled the trlsger.
but the cartridge didn't explode. If it had
there would not be anything from nie on
the subject. Before he could recock the
weapon I struck him with my club, and you
know the rest of tbi. story."
Did you ever hear an urmy officer tell a
tale of heroism mote modestly? Not I.
To my way of thinking, the courage of
such an act. even In a humble nnd un
recognized line of duty, far excels that of
Napoleon at the Fridge of Ixidl or Dessnlx
at Marengo Julius Chambers in Brooklyn
taglc.
MIGHTY TASK IN SIGHT
IHIIIooltles In the Way of n Finn"
teen-Foot (liennel In the
Mlallipl. .
The Journey of I'resklent rtnosevi'lt down
the MlKfclsplniil river nml his address he
fore the deep watrrwavs convention at
MemphlR have nttraeted the attention of
the whole nation to the protect for a deep
wai erw-ny -between the areat lakes and the
KUlt .
Mr. L. K. Cooley, who has been anions;
engineers the most prominent sdvocate of
the waterway, divides It into three sec
tions, as follows:
The Illinois Chicago to St. Louis with a
lenptth of 3fi" miles and a fall of 106 feet.
The middle Mississippi St. Louis to Cairo
18G miles Ion, with a fall of PI8 feet.
The lower Mississippi Cairo to Red Rook
TM miles lontr, with a full of 275 feet.
The first section, the Improvement of the
Illinois river, offers no particular "difficul
ties. It Is merely o matter of creating
slack-water navigation by a system of locks
end dams: and as rock foundstlons are
available for these, the work can be carried
out without serious difficulty. Wo be
lieve the preliminary estimates of the gov
ernment engineers Indicated a total cost
of some $31,om,roo for a fourteen-foot
waterway from the lower end of the Chi
cago drainage canal, near Jollet, to St.
Louis.
But when the problem of a deep waterway
down the Mississippi Is presented, no, such
easy solution Is possible. No engineer who
looks on the "Father of Watera" ln Its
flood stage could dream of confining that
turbulent flood by any dams ever erected
by man. The Mississippi below St. Louis
Is like a huge rainwater spout, carrying
vast volumes of flood water when the rain
fall la heavy, but with a flow dwindling to
very small proportions Jn the dry weather
of summer and fall. Any forces that man
can set at work are puny compared with
the size of this great river; and to make
matters still more difficult, the river
flows through the alluvial plain, with no
bottom anywhere to give foundation on
which possible- works for river control
might be founded.
For ten years past the Mississippi river
commission has maintained a minimum
depth of eight and one-half feet In the low
water channel from -St. Louis to the gnlf
by hydraulic dredging on the bars between
pools. At Its low water stage, of course,
the river Is a succession of pools of good
depth, connected by stretches of compara
tively rapid and shallow water. By deepen
ing these shallow raplda with hydraulio
dredgea from September to January, It la
possible to afford about eight and one-half
to nine feet In depth. Thla work Is, ot
course, merely temporary, every season,
and In fact has to be continued during the
whole of the low water period.
As can readily bo understood, thla plan
of river Improvement Is of limited scope.
Increasing the amount of dredging can
not greatly Increase the depth of water;
for as the rapid connecting two pools Is
deepened, the water in the upper pool Is
lowered.
It has been suggested that the low water
depth could be Increased by turning more
water Into the Mississippi from the Oreat
Lakes and from reservoirs on the head
waters of the Mississippi In Minnesota,
The difficulty with thla Is the great alse of
the Mississippi's channel and Ita rapid fall,
particularly ln the section from St. Louis
to Cairo. It takes an enormous volume
of water to h-ve much effect In Increasing
the navigable depth. Further, a heavy
draft la already being made on Lake Michi
gan, through. the Chicago drainage canal.
and to a considerable extent the lakes In
Minnesota are actually In uae for river
regulation. How to- get an additional five
feet of depth for low water navigation be
low Bt. Louis Is therefore an unsolved
problem.
Proposals have been made to construct
an artificial waterway alongside the Mis
sissippi, following the natural bayous so
far as possible. Such a waterway, however,
would have all the disadvantages of .canal
navigation, ln the way of restricted spoed;
and It Is more than doubtful whether It
would be feasible to construct and maintain
It, even with unlimited outlays, In the
alluvial soli of the lower Mississippi valley.

KINO OF SPAIN ATTENDS GROOM

I.UXPOX. Nov. 17. Wood Norton. tin
English home ot' the duke or Orleans,
which originally was nothing but a hunt
ing box. but In recent ears was trans
formed into a castle, where the pretender
to the throne of France hclils court, wel
comed a distinguished company yesterday at
the wedding of Prince Charles of Bourbon
and Princess Louise of Orleans. True there
was but one recognised king present, but
more than half the guests were related to
the royal houses of Kurope, while others
were representative, of the court and gov
ernment of Franco, there being, of course,
a fow exceptions In tli's royal gathering.
The religious ceremony to which this
company had been Invited took place In nn
Improvised chapel built of canvas, but so
cleverly painted that it could hardly be
distinguished from the gray stone house
which it adjoined. The Interior of the
cliapel likewise had every appearance of a
permanent structure, and easily might have
been mistaken for one of the old Catholic
churches which abound In southern Europe.
The celling was painted sky-blue, with
stars set therein, and the walls were draped
with rich velvet, while from Imitation raft
ers hung the banners and flaps of France
and the house of Bourbon. The altar was
of white marble and was decorated with
white carnations and lilies, the family em
blem. The chapel connected with the castle by
an arched walk over which the bridal pro
cession passed. The duke of Orleans led
with the bride and meeting at the altar
the bridegroom, who was attended by King
Alfonso of Spain.
Manx DUtlnsjnlshed Gnests.
The 'score of other royal personages ln
attendance Included the king of Spain,
Prince Henry of Battenberg and Orand
Duke Vladimir. They were followed by
members of the diplomatic corps, Including
the American ambassador, Whltelaw Held,
and Mrs. Reld. There was a wonderful dis
play of gorgeous costumes and Jewels, and
the uniforms of the various officials pres
ent were as diverse as they were brilliant.
Ambassador Reld and the Swiss minister
were the only guests who wore plain black
evening dress without decorations.
The aervlce waa that of the Roman Cath
olic church, with choral accompaniment by
orchestra and soloists from the Paris opera.
The bishop of Birmingham celebrated mass
and bestowed the pontifical blessing. Tlte
remainder of the service waa performed by
the duke's chaplln, who delivered a short
address In which he referred to the happy
gathering of ao many, members of the
duke's family, which he said "unfortunately
could not occur In France."
After the ceremony a wedding breakfast
was served at the castle, at which the
duke of Orleans and King Alfonso proposed
the usual toasts.
Wood Norton having been surrounded by
police only card holders, less than 200, ob
tained admission to the ceremonies, but
along the three miles of roads leading to
Everham, the nearest town to Wood Nor
ton, and to the town Itself, which was
gaily bedecked, the royal visitors were re
ceived With a noisy welcome by the people,
who look upon the family of the duke of
Orlearjs as they would upon one of the
great English families.
During the afternoon the duke received
the French Journalists In kindly fashion,
speaking a few words to each of them atid
then becoming a plain country gentleman
again. Jumping Into his motor car, which he
himself drove to the station, with King
Alfonso as a passenger.
Costly Wedding Presents.
The wedding presents came from all

BETTER WAGES FOR CLERGY
America and Great Britain Facing, a
Problem that Demands an
Early Solution.
A living wage for the clergy Is a matter
that la seriousl engaging the attention of
nearly all chirch organisations. Wage
earners, by uniting, demand and often ob
tain higher remuneration, but the preach
ers have remained a poorer paid class aa
a whole than the humblest ordinary work
ers and the poorest of all the professional
classes.
A crisis has been reached. The cost of
llvlr.g has been so incressed that the salary
of ten yeara ago does not now suffice to
maintain even a email family In the man
ner expected of a preacher, aa his position
demands certain outlays that many a man
in other callings can avoid. The cry Is not
or.o of locality, but extends over the Eng-hsli-speakltg
world, being quite as pro
nounced In Great Britain as In this coun
try and Just as earnest In the east as In
the west of the I'nlted States. It haa been
recently brought up In conventions and
conferences in . California, Michigan and
Massachusetts. The papers In England are
full of the subject. There are columns of
the mo.-t pitiful letters detailing the priva
tions forced upon preachers of the Church
of England through lack of means of liv
ing decently.
Clergymen agree that It lias come to the
point when they can no longer carry life
Insurance to protect their families, and ln
many cases they declare they cannot prop
erly educate their children. The average
minister Iras an education that unfits him
for business. He has a smaller Income than
the average mechanic and haa a generous
hesrt and a big family. He ia self-sacrificing
and unworldly. He i lan.iges to save
little or nothing. As a young man he may
-cure a good-paying position for a time,
but us the years advance he Is unable to
do the work for which he la called and hia
position Is lowered. He r.ss given all Ms
bost years to the church and has no assur
ance that he will be cared for in his de
clining days.
The California conference of the Metho
dist churrh la trying to meet the matter
by appointing a new ro-nmittee on minis
terial support which will not on'y examine
into means for securing Increased salaries,
but provide a pension for superannuates.
The iK-tro't Bupllst association, repre
senting forty-nine church s in eastern
Michigan, has recommended a 10 per cent
salary Inrresse with a minimum of ITM
annually, tt lieing shown that clergymen
could not lofRer bring up families on IKK)

higher cost of living. No charge has of

will re-enter the ministry, but there Is not

NATURE FAKING OF ANCIENT
Examples of Weird Imaarlnlnar with
Which Fnrly Scribes Regaled
Their Fellows.
"Nothing new about this nature faking
business," said the college student, with
the Ink scarcely dry on his diploma. "About
2,200 years ago they were at It, and tho
man who could tell the biggest nature yarn
had tho biggest demand for his writings.
Longor than 2,200 years ago there was one
Alcmaeon, who said that goats breathed
through their ears. Then came along Aris
totle and accused this Alcmaeon of nature
falsehoods, for old Aristotle knew a thing
or two about nature himself, and used to
employ the armies of his friends, Philip
and Alexander the Oreat, to procure speci
mens for him. One of the bits of nature
wisdom which Aristotle gave to the world
was, 'Man ia the only animal that has ears
and cannot move them.
"About 400 years after Aristotle tried to
clear up Alcmaeon's blunders Pliny ap
peared on the scene and muddled things all
up again with some most wonderful nature
yarns. 'If a bramble frog,' he wrote, 'Is
buried In a new earthen vessel In the
middle of a cornfield, there will be no
storm to cause Injury.' And he had the
nerve to put up this story: Tn the city
of Iasus there was another boy, also Her
mlas by name, who In like manner used to
traverse the aea on a dolphin's back, but
on one occasion, a storm suddenly arising,
he lost hla life and was brought back dead,
upon which the dolphin, who thus admitted
that he had been the cause cf hi den:n,
would not return to sea. but lay down
upon the dry land and there expired.' In
another tale he says. 'Some persons recom
mend that three crabs should be turned
alive among the trees on which the vines

DON'TS FOR THE HUSBANDS
J'hlnsr for the Benedicts to Rrm.u.
ber If Desiring Mntaal
Happiness. t
Don't hang about the kitchen, with advice
here and auggestlons there, unless you give
your wife the same privilege at your place
of business. Don't require an Itemized re
port of every shilling placed In her hands;
even should she make an unwise expendi
ture, consider how many times you have
given her the example.
Don't allow any family disagreements or
differences of opinion to crop out before
children or servants; let all such things be
reserved for private discussion, with mu
tual confidence and kindness. Don't use
all your kindness and gallantry away frosa
home, and let the unpleasantness manifest
Itself ln the family circle; try the other
course for a time, and see how that will
work.
Don't listen to the man who begins te
disparage his wife, and parade her real or
fancied shortcomings to the world; advise
him to settle those things tn the privacy of
his own home.
Don't make it necessary for any persnsi
to give you like advice.
Don't pay a couple of dollars for a lunch
"In town," and half as much more 'for
cigars, while you think out plans for
greater economy In the family grocery bill.
Don't forget that members of the family
have aa good a right to a pleasant greet
ing when met, and will appreciate It aa
much aa the business or social acquaintance
next door.
