70 RELIEVE MONEY MARKET
Washington, Nov. 18. —8ecretary
Cortelvou made the important an-
pouncement that, as a means of afford-
ing relief to the financial situation, the
treasury would issue $50,000,000 of
Panama bonds, and $100,000,000 certifi-
cates of indebtedness, or so much
thereof as may be necessary. The cer-
tificates will be run for one year and
will bear 3 per cent. interest.
The secretary's action, in coming to
the relief of the financial situation
mets with President Roosevelt's
hearty approval, and the plan is the
outcome of the several White Confer-
ences which have been held within the
past few days when the financial situs
gtion was under consideration.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford most sub-
stantial relief, as the law provides that
they may be used as a basis for addi-
tional national bank circulation. He
also states that the proceeds from the
sale of certificates can be made direct-
ly available at points where the need
{s most urgent, and especially for the
movement of the crops, which, he says,
“it properly accelerated, will give the
greatest relief and result in the atten-
tion to the attractiveness of the bonds
and certificates as absolutely safe in-
vestments.”
Secretary Cortelyou adds that these
relief measures will enable him to
meet public expenditures without with-
drawing for that purpose any appre-
clable amount of the public moneys
pow deposited in national banks
throughout the country. Two treasury
circulars, one inviting proposals for
the issue of bonds and the other ask-
ing for the certificates, will be sent
out under date of November 18.
In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou,
approving the treasury plans, Presi-
dent Roosevedt states that he has been
assured that the leaders in congress
have under consideration a currency
measure “which will meet, In perma-
nent fashion, the needs of the situa-
tion, and which I believe will be
passed at an early date after congress
eonvenes, two weeks hence.” The
president also calle attention to what
{8s needed most at this time is that the
people should “realize how *unda-
mentally sound business conditions in
this country are, and how absurd it is
to permit themselves to get into a |
panic and create a stringency by
hoarding their savings instead of
trusting perfectly sound banks.”
THE WEST APPROVES
Bankers Believe $150,000,000 Issue Will
Be Over-Subscribed.
Chicago, Nov. 19.—The decision of
the national government to issue $160,-
000,000 in bonds and certificates met
with general approval throughout the
west. The benefits expected to result |
from the move were anticipated in the |
higher grain markets, both here and in
other grain centers of the west. Bulls
were disposed to buy for some time
past, and shorts took to cover hastily
as soon as the plan was announced.
In this city some of the leading
bankers announced that preparations
were under way for the resumption of
business on a normal cash basis, and it
was believed, they said, that inside of '
10 days at the outside the clearing
house checks would be withdrawn from
eircnlation, Leading business men here
agreed with the bankers that the issue
of the bonds and certificates will be of
great force in bringing the affairs of
the country back to the conditions pre-
valling three months ago. All of them
were of the opinion that the issue of
$160,000,000 would be subscribed sev-
eral times over, and the report from
Bt. Louis that one man there was
anxious to take 1-300 of the total issue
was cited as proof of the accuracy of
this opinion.
They Tax All Signs.
Every sign In Rilo Janeiro is taxed.
A cafe having a special “sorvete,” or
ice, to serve makes a placard and
hangs it to a doorpost or to one of the
palm trees in tubs which commonly
decorate such establishments. The no-
tice thus posted must have a revenue
stamp attached. Permanent sigus are
taxed on a permanent basis, tem-
porary signs on a stamped basis. A
sign “House For Rent” bears a revenue
stamp. Under such circumstances the
tax on signboards or billboards is the
expected thing, but naturally there is
much less general use of such forms
of advertising.
Two Chicken Thieves Shot Dead,
New York, Nov. 18.—Lyman J. King, |
proprietor of a poultry farm in the
Bronx, has been missing chickens re-
eently, and when an automatic alarm
awoke him he seized a revolver, and,
hurrying out doors, fired upon two
forms outlined in the moonlight. Bru-
no Puella, 22 years old, of Yonkers,
fell dead with a bullet in the head.
Parlo Iagenia, about the same age, re-
ceived a bullet in the side, another in
the leg, and, as he fied, a third in the
back, which killed him. King surren-
dered to the police.
A New Death Test.
Paris, Nov. i9.—A new death test,
which absolutaly precludes the possi-
bility of burial alive, has been discov-
ered at the Lariboisiere hospital, in
this city. Experiments have shown
that radiographs of bodies taken even
a few minutes after death reveal clear-
ly the outlines of all the organs,
whereas if the radiographs are taken
during life the organs are not re-
vealed.

A MARVELOUS APPLE TREE
| Luther Burbank WNales It Yield 208
i Varieties of Fruit.
Los Angeles. Cal, Nov. 18. — Two |
hundred and eight variedes of apples,
| all grown on one tree, and from one
| tree!
These apples are on exhibition at
Ferry building. The 208 are the latest
wonder from the marvelous gardens of
Luther Burbank, at Santa Rosa. The
fog” for five weeks, and now the col
play.
This is the way advantage was
taken of the old apple tree: Mr. Bur-
bank took a few apples from a cer
tain tree and planted all the seeds of
those apples. The seeds produced sap-
lings in course of time, and these Bur-
bank grafted on the very tree which
had produced them as seeds. The 208
varieties of apples were the result.
And there is surely variety among
them. They run from apples the size
of quail eggs to apples as large as
pumpkins—that, is young pumpkins.
Some are red, others green. Still oth-
ers are pink and striped and splotched.
One would think, judging by their ap-
pearance, that they had grown in 208
different parts of the world.
THANKS FOR $22,000,000 GIFT
China Is Sending a Special Mission te
Washington.
Shanghai, Nov. 19. — The Chinese
government will send a special mission
to Washington to thank the govern-
ment for the return of the surplus of
the indemnity that China was con-
demned to pay to the United States
as the result of the Boxer uprising.
The amount of America’s share of
the award was $24,000,000. Of this
sum $2,000,000 was used in indemni-
fying American citizens for losses.
The remainder, $22.000,000, Intended
to indemnify the United States for the
expense it incurred in assisting to put
down the uprising, it was decided to
return, on the ground that the Chinese
government was not responsible for
the Boxer rebellion.
GIRL ODDLY POISONED
| Bwallowed Laudanum While Cleaning
| Teeth, Parents Say.
| Paterson, N. J, Nov. 19. — Much
| mystery surrounds the case of pretty
| Katie Mandolia, 15 years cld, who 1s
| at the home of her parents, 591 River
street, suffering from poison which
{
! nearly caused her death Sunday night.
The girl's parents refused to say any-
thing about the case, except that she
was cleaning her teeth with lauda-
num, when she accidentally swallowed
some of it.
Dr. Todd, who was summoned from
the General hospital, says the girl
swallowed a considerable quantity of
| the poison, and he had to resort to
| vigorous measures to save her life.
She Is still in a serious condition.
DIED AT FUNERAL
Mrs. Rose Walls Fatally Stricken at
Atlantic City.
Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 18.—Mrs.
| Rose Walls, of Washington, sister of
the late Chief of Police Maxwell, dled
just prior to the funeral services over
the dead chief. The shock was a try-
ing one on the widow, who almost col-
lapsed and is on the border of nervous
prostration. Mrs. Walls was sleeping
in the same bed with the widow, and
during the night was restless. Mrs.
| Walls was seized with a hemorrhage
| and died in 20 minutes. The funeral of
| the chief took place Sunday afternoon.
i
WOMAN DROWNED
Mrs. J. N. Rhodes Fell From Gang
Plank of Steamer at Chester.
Chester, Pa., Nov. 19.—Mrs. J. N.
Rhodes, wife of a prominent physician
of 1685 South Broad street, Philadel
phia, was drowned in the Delaware
river here by falling from the gang
plank of the steamboat Frederica,
plying between Philadelphia and Wil
mington. Mrs. Rhodes stumbled and
fell over the gang plank between the
boat and the wharf and was drowned
before the wharf and boat hands could
rescue her.
Shot at Magazine; Blown to Atoms.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 18.—Portions of
a human body were found about 100
yards from a deep hole at Freedom,
Pa., near here, following a terrific ex-
plosion of a magazine containing sev-
eral gallons of nitro-glycerine. The
concussion broke most of the windows
within a radius of 10 miles from the
scene. A revolver, with one chamber
empty, was found nearby, and it is
| supposed the man had used the maga-
| sine as a target.

Gets 10 Years For Stealing 12 Stamps.
New York, Nov. 16.—Samuel Miller
| was sentenced to 10 vears in state
prison for stealing 12 two-cent postage
stamps. Miller forced his way into the
apartment of Mrs. Willlam Tobin, i»
Madison avenue, on October 24 last,
and was ransacking a desk when Mrs.
Tobin surprised him. Her screams
brought a policeman, and Miller was
| arrested on a charge of burglary.
| Nothing of value but the dozen postage
stamps was found on him.

Webb City, Mo. Nov. 19. — Harry
Lacey, of this place, was profuse in
