A BOON TO THE PEOPLE Would Put an End to Postal Deficits, Many Millions ol Dollars Secreted by People Who llovol.itllc or No Con fidence in Oriliimry Security nnd .Monetary Institutions Organized by Private Citizen, Would Doubt less Find Their Way Into Channels ofTritde iintl Commorcc--A Stimu lont (u Pntiiotism Also. Washington, Nov. 14. The first an nual report of Postmaster General James A. Gary to the president was made public tonight. Its feature is the strong advocacy of postal savings de positories, a scheme over which Post master General Gaiy has worked for many months In the formulation of plans to nroent to the president and congress. He says the time Is ripe for their establishment and that the udop t!"n ol a well organized system would . infer u great boon upon a Uirfw num ber of people and ultimately In- of In estimable benefit to the whole eountr'-. The estimates of th revenues and ex penditutes fur the tlsc-ul year ending June so, 1 &!!', are: Total postal reve nue for 1S97, .?S?.fiCo.4."2.T3: aid five per cent. $4,1"3,27u.K!. Estimated revenue for 1S0S, $S6,79S735.SG: add seven per cent., JG,u7ii,911.r.l. Total estimated revenue for 1809, $92,874,617.37; esti mated expenditures for 1899, $a5,92:',760: deficiency for 1S!M. estimated $C,04S,112. (B. Following is an abstract of the re port: The increas? of the postal de ficit for 1S97 Is largely a relle:: of the depressed business conditions which prevailed all over the United States during the first three-quai'teis of that period. There has been no extrava gance of expendltuie. save that obll- I gated by law. ' Reiterating the injustice Inflicted both upon the postal revenues and the people by second-class mull matter car riage regulations, the enactment by congress of some measure to remedy the wrong, similarly pointed out by past postmasters general, is urged. As to this the postmaster general says: "If this were done there would be an end to postal delleits, and the ser vice could be enlarged and popularized by a broad extension of free dellveiy without Infringement upon the general lesources of the government, and evcntuall.v lesult in the much-desired I reduction of letter posing" to one cent per ounce." No method of perfecting the organ ization of the postal service has proved more effective than the consolidation of postottlces. Legislative lestrlctlons "ii its development are to be regretted anil a repeal of the five-mile limit con solidation measure In the 1S9(! postal appropriation bill Is recommended. FREE DELIVERY EXPERIMENT. The experimental rural free delivery lias been generously appreciated: few 'Xpendltures linvn conferred greater benefits In proportion, and It has un questionably proved a potent factor In attaining what should be a chief; aim of government, the granting of the best possible postal facilities to the farm ing class. The report reviews in de tail the operations of the various branches of the department. The por tion of the subject of postal savings, in oiief. follows: Many millions of dollars Is undoubt- dly secreted by people who have little r no confidence In ordinary securities and monetary Institutions organized by private citizens. It Is dead capital, hut if its owners could be Inspired with absolute confidence in the security of an Investment It Is altogether probable i hat the bulk of this fund would find ts way into the channels of trade and commerce. If the government under took this task, the service would un doubtedly be gladly accepted by the people. Their faith In the government Is unbounded. Their little suvings, which separate ly could hardly lie put out at Interest, would amount In the aggregate to u sum that could be Invested to their advantage. It would tend to cultivate thrift In a large class; realizing the adantage of depositing with the gov ernment Instead of wastefully and uselessly expending; it would tend to better citizenship, bringing Into closer relationship the government and Its citizens and developing practical and enduring patriotism. This growth of patriotic spntlment nnd good citizen ship constitute a powerful appeal to statesmanship to make a way fen- these beneficent consequences. The propo sition Is an accomplished fact In near ly every country In Europe, In the Ilrltlsh dependencies of both hemi spheres, and even In Hawaii. In Great Britain 7,00u,000 deposltots have up ward of $550,000,000 In savings accumu lated during thirty-live years, and In ten years fewer than 10.000 Hawaiian depositors saved nearly $1,000,000. These vast arcumulatlons have been made with the least possible loss to the governments, which guarantee their payment, and with a minimum of cost to tho millions of depositors. More than a third of the postal savings ac counts In European offices are held by minors and over two-thirds by tho most humble callings. It Is essentially the bank of this class. Postal savings would not conflict with these savings banks,, hut would encourage savings rather than accumulations. The con version of money order offices Into sav ings depositories would soon afford In finitely moro facility lor receiving In terest-beating deposits than the Interest-paying banks do now. The most aggressive opponents arc among the ptlvate Institutions engaged In some what simitar enterprises, though asso ciations of the larger cities recognize In It a valuable feeder to the financial currents of the country. Security and not the rate of Interest Is tho primary and essential condition of such a sys tem; and bonds of states, counties nnd municipalities nnd real estate furnish nn Illimitable field. IN OTHER COUNTRIES. Comparing other countries, the post master general says nearly every coun try permits Its most popular coin as the minimum amount of deposit, varying from five cents In India to $1 In Can ada. Maximum deposits vary from $282 in Franco to $2,433 In New 55en and. Deposits over that amount are non-Interest bearing and In several cotintrlea the surplus Is by law In vested In national bonds. Roth de posits and accounts ure usually small. France made a profit In ISO," of $170, 000 In handling 2,500,000 accounts, ag gregating $143,000,000, after paying three per cent. Interest. Great Rrttaln earned a surplus of $S3,0000, nfter pay ing 26 per cent interest on $4SO.OOO,000, made up of 0,500,000 accounts. Tho average commission paid to postmas ters Is one cent per deposit. Any ac count may be settled and withdrawn from any depository In the country. The telegraph Is coming Into use as a means of withdrawal. KING OF DUDES IS ARRAIGNED .1. Wnldcrc Kirk Looked up on Charge oT .Miirdcr-- lainis Sclf-Dcfensc. A Woman in the Case. New Yoik, Nov. 14. J.

His demeancr was calm. He was brought to court by a police captain. Mandelbaurr. was unable to appear and a loundsman made tho formal charge of felonious assault against Kirk. Mandelbaum's physician sent u certifi cate in which he stated thot he was unable to determine at present whether or not the wounds would result fatal ly. "I am represented by M". Friend," said Kirk. "I will say nothing until I consult him." Counsellor Friend appeared at this Junctuio. There being no bondsman present, Klik was locked up In the prison attached to the court. None of Ills friends were in court. Kirk de clined to make any statement. According to the police. Mandelbaum failed to find his wife In her room when he returned to the hotel Saturday, and went to Klik's room and kicked In tho door. Kirk is said to have tired tlve times at the intruder. One entered his breast. Just above the heart, and one struck him in the groin. The other shots went wild. Kirk said he shot In self-defense, declaring that Mandel buum struck lilm with a blunt Instru ment. ,1. Vnldeiv Kirk Is well known In Chicago and Denver. His novel Ideas on dress have attracted wide attention. NEW TURN IN THE COFFEE WAR. A Point Won by the llnveinoycrs. AihiicKlcv Repudiate n Contract. Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 14. The Arbuckles have repudiated the'r contract with the Ohio Wholesale Grocers' association, and acceded to the original proposition made by the Woolson Spice company, or ratti er tho American Sugar llctlnlng com pany. Hereafter the state and national associations of grocers will havo noth ing to do with the coffee war, but tho roasteis will deal direct with the job bers. Private circulars to that effect were received from both interests by Jobbers today. This is regarded as a groat vic tory for the Havemeyers. Ileglnnlng next Monday, all contracts are cancelled, and until further notice Jobbers are author ized to deduct one cent n pound from the Invoice on all coffees shipped Into Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Il linois, Minnesota. Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas. All former restrictions on Job bers in New York.

The trial of Police Inspector Vlllavlncence and other police olllclals implicated' In tho murder ot Arnulfo Arroyo will begin tomorrow and will probably last eight or nine days. All the uccused havo counsel and the trial will be a sensational one. throwing much light on tho actions of the Inspec tor general of police, Velasquez, who committed milcldo when his share In the crlmo was discovered, and ho becamo convinced that tho government would af ford lilm no protection. In fact, tho gov ernment has been very vigorous in push ing forwurd preparation for the prose cution of the entire body of the accused. Incidentally tho mystery concerning Father Rortolero. a Catholic priest whoso death Vulesquez has been suspected of procuring, will probably be cleared up and possibly It may bo shown that Ar royo knew enough of that crime to cause Velasquez's desire to remove him. stoninabip Arrivals, New Yotk, Nov. 34.

New York, Nov. 14. Senator Thomas ! C. Piatt tonight gave out a statement, In which he says, in part: "it Is the plain purpose of those Repub lican factlonlsts, who, falling In every effort repeatedly made to control the Re- publican organlza.ion, projected Seth Low Into the municipal campaign, thereby dividing the anti-Tammany vote, to force Into the public mind the Impression that the responsibility for this elhlson attaches not to them, but to the Rnpublcian organ ization. And, just as during tlie campaign, they stop at no act of treachery in order to create dlbsension, so now they are hes itating at no falsehood or calumny In or der to promote, it and keep It alive. "Tliu malicious misrepresentations of these Incurable factlonlsts must not go unchallenged. Fair-minded men will re member that When Mr. Qlllgg assumed the presidency of the county committee, he made the offer of union distinctly and in terms. They will remember that his offer was as distinctly refused by those to whom It was addressed. "They found no fault with the candi date whom the Citizens' union picked out as the expression of Its purpose and Ideas. They do not now deny that they regat ti ed him as practically the sort of a man he has turned out to be a vainglorious, self-seeker, masque lading as a Republi can, but willing at any time to wreck 'ho Republican ship on the lodge of his own ambitions." CRUSHED BY AN ANACONDA. Narrow' Escape ol a Museum Watch man from Horrible Dcnlli, Phllaelelphla, Nov, It. A huge anaconda, em exhibition in a museum lure today se verely injured Samuel Masher, the mus eum watchman, and crushed to death a. valuable trick pony. The pony was tied to a feed box, alongside the anaconda's cage. Masher saw that the reptile had worked one of the boards of its cage loose and had stretched its tall out a short dis tance. He pushed the boaul to, believ ing tho anaconda, would pull within the cage again. Instead It wriggled out and wrapt Itself several times about Masher. The latter screamed for help and tne pony, frlgntencd by tho big reptile, ne gan Jumping about. This probably saved .Masher's life for the reptile unwound It self from him and completely encircled tho pony. Masher fell to the floor un conscious, while the big snako continued to crush the pony until lite was extinct. When a number of the employes reached the scene the snako bad begun to unwind Itself and appeared, to be getting ready for more light. The men kepl aloof until tv lnssoo had been obtained and the ana conda finally made secure. All of Mush er's ribs were broken and bn was re moved to a hospital. PETER MAIIER'S ADVERSARY.

ADVOCATES AN ELASTIC CURRENCY Outspoken In 1'avor of tho Retire ment of Grccntincks-'ltccommciiels tho Redemption, Retirement nnd Cnnccllntion of All Legal Tender NotoB--I!nnkliig Suggestions. Washington, Nov. 14. Mr. Horace White, whose book upon "Money and Hanking" has attracted so much at tention, has submitted some clear-cut answers to the Interrogatories of the monetary commission, regarding Im provements In the currency system ot the United States. Mr. White is nn outspoken advocate of the retirement of the greenbacks und the adoption of an elastic banking currency based up on business assets. He declares that the silver dollars should be redeemed In gold and that In a financial sense there Is no difference between tho sev eral forms of government fiduciary circulation of which silver dollars nre a part. "The latter," he declares, "are metallic greenbacks." He does not be lieve that the amount of circulation presented for redemption would be any greater than ut present If silver were redei'inable In gold. In answer to the question regarding the maintenance of the gold standard, Mr. White says: "I would recommend the redemption, retirement and cancellation of all legal tender notes as a first step. Probably the silver certificates and silver dollars would thereafter remain nt par with gold, like the outstanding' thalers of Germany would not be presented for redemption In any considerable amount, being needed, like the smaller silver coins, for circulation In retail trade. After the retirement of the legal tender notices we should be able to see better what to do next." "Question For the purpose of facili tating the use of existing silver cur rency, what do you recommend as the smallest denomination of United States notes and bank notes which should be put In circulation?" Answer "Ten dollars at flist: but this should be made a matter of ex periment, the object being to deter mine the dimensions of the field of cir culation which will absorb the silver currency, leaving the rest te bank notes." In regard to the legal tender notes, Mr. White's responses are as follows: (question On what grounds, if any, woulel you favor the gradual but entire withdrawal of the treasury -notes, ot ihW and of the United States' notes V Answer On the ground that there Is no certainty, and can be no certainty, that the government will always redeem thtm in gold. Redemption or non-redemption is a .political Lssuo to be fought over In elections, ami inu.-t remain so as long as this kind of paper is outstanding. Mere uncertainty Is alwajs a drawback to business- prospeilty. Failure eif redemption would be bankruptcy, public ami private. ejue-stton If it shall lit decided to retire the United .State? notes, now can it be done without uddiug to our bonded debt? Answer By e-ancellng all that aro re ceived at the treasury for taxes or pre sented for redemption, or all so received oxer and above the government's m-c-ersary disbursements. FOR A SlJPPL'V OK CASH. Question How In that case can provis ion bo made for maintaining an ade quate amount ot currency available for purposes of bi'slnoss'.' Answer Provision will lie made auto matically In various ways, viz.: 1 By ictainlng tho gold produced by our own mines. 2 Uy Importing gold from aboard. 3 Ry the lssuo of national bank noti. Prior to the civil war tho government pave Itself no concern about providing currency for purpot.es- of business, yet tho supply was never deficient. ijuestlon If It lie tnoughl inexpedient to fund the United States notes, how ca-i they be redeemed with an asuranco that bank eurrenej will take their plae-c? Answer The assurance Is fnuuil In the fact that every case where a currency vacuum has existed It has been tilled by bank notes. Th's was the case in the panic of 1893. Tho process of taking out notes might bo made more oxpeditlo is. That Is a matter of machinery and legal regulation. It is perfectly certain that if there is a profit in issuing bank circula tion, it will be lSMiie-d. If there- Is no prollt In It, we mut conclude either that the law needs amendment, or that the ele niand for currency Is slight. Mr. White believes that In process of time it will not be possible to rely up on national bonds as security for bank notes Issues, because of the extinction of the public debt. In reply to the question whether any safe und prac ticable plan can be devised for using other securities he says that he thinks not. "I should not like to be charged with the responsibility of selecting the securities or choosing between the dif ferent kinds offered." He believes that fifty per cent, of the paid up and unimpaired capital of the bank should be the limit of tho note Issues anil that n cash reserve should lie held for tho redemption of notes, "the same as now provided by law for deposits, viz.: 25 per cent. In reserve cities and 15 per cent, elsewhere, with the right to keep three-fifths of said 15 per cent, in tho reserve cities. There lsi no difference between deposit liabil ities and note liabilities, so far as tho bank Itself Is concerned and no reason why the reserve should be greater or less for tho one than the other. The lesorve should consist of gold, and should be In the vaults of the bank or In a clearing house depository," Dr. Allen Deuel. Philadelphia, Nov. l.-Harrison Allen, M. D., emeritus professor of compara tive anatomy In tho medical school of tho University of Pennsylvania, died sudden ly today of what It believed to havo been heart disease.

Nav arro Reverter. Madrid, Nov. 14. Tho bishop of the diocese of Majorca, Balearic Isles, who last September excommunicated Sonor J. Navarro Reverter, minister of finance In tho cabinet of General Marcelo de Azcar raga, for nn alleged conversion of church property to governmental uses, Is dead, Tho act of excommunication nbovo mentioned, with tho friction It entailed between tho ecclestlcal and political au thorities was believed at the time to be a prominent factor in hastening the fall of theAzcarraga ministry, which resigned on Sept. 23 Inst. The bishop of Mnjorca Issued tho decree of excommunication In dellanco of the order of the archbishop to tho contrary, and It was read In all tho churches of tho diocese on Sept. 19. Influential prelates, however, approved tho course of the bishop; und their atti tude In the matter, being absolutely op posed to that of all the members of tho cabinet who appealed to the pope against the decree through the papal nuncio at Madrid, raised a complicated Issue. The cabinet relied upon the dictum of tho nuncio that tho bishop had no Jurisdic tion over tho minister, and upon his fur ther assurance that the pope would un eloubtedly censuro the bishop. Tho fact that the latter was a notorious sym pathizer with tho Carllst movement greatly aggravated the situation. Hvent ually the Vatican Informed tho Spanish government that the church would not withdraw the excommunication until it should be provtd that the property al leged to have been confiscate!! did not be-long to the church.

The lynching had been apparently coolly planned, anil was carried out without a break In the programme. Sudden and swift retribution wus ineted out by the mob to the murderers, Willlamsport, where the hanging took place, Is about forty miles from this e-ity and off the railroad. The news of the hanging was received here this af ternoon by a mounted messenger. The sheriff of the county, Peter Shier, was In this city at the lime the hanging occurred, and It was to him that the messenger brought word. The men hud been under the custody of Deputy Sher iff Tom Kelly, and they were taken fiom under his control liy tho mob and hanged to a beef windlass several hun dred yards from the Jail, where their bodies were still swinging to tho breeze during the entire day, the cor oner having rot yet arrived, and no one else volunteered lo cut fhem down. There were about forty men concerned in the lynching. They rode into Wil llamsport on horseback late at night and tethered their horses a short dis tance from the city, that they might secure them again as speedily as neces sary after the deed was done. The jail in which the prisoners were con lined is a substantial stone structure and was In charge of Deputy Sheriff Thomas Kelly. Since the confinement of the prisoners so great has been the fear that they might escape in some way that one man has watched nil night within the Jail and last night Kelly was on watch. There was a meeting of the lodge of Woodmen In a mlldlng near the Jail, and us Kelly was n member he expected to meet Mome of the members of the lodge uf ter the meeting had adjourned.

As usual, It is ex pected to lie the chief social event of tho season In the metropolis. The standard of horsotlesh exhibited will lie fully as good as in past years. In fact, from a spec tacular point of view the show promises to be the best ever given, as tho entries aro not only stronger In numbers, but arc materially strengthened all the way through by the quality of the exhibits and the closeness with which they com pjre. As usual, the thoroughbred classes are light, but the trotting classes have 111 led well. There are over l.BtO entries this year. Last year there were only 1.3.

Miss Florence Weir conducted the devo tional service, nfter which reports of associations were heard. These were not only Interesting, but most encour aging. Miss I-:. K. Price, of Chicago, then spoke on the work of the international committee. Miss Price Is one of the favorites of the convention. Attractive In personality, and charming In her manner of speech, she Is heard with much pleasure. She will be In Scran ton next Sunday und will probably speak In one of the churches, besides giving a talk at the association rooms. In her address of yesterday she gave Interesting data regarding the com mittee's work, the headquarters of which are In Chicago, There are r,9 city and 2S0 college associations con nected with It.

Kennedy, MNs Kntherlne Hills and Miss Margaret Janileson, gave napers which came in for rather more praise than the otheti. excellent as they all were. Miss Hills, of the physical department of tl-e Scranton Y. W. C. A., spoke on "Tho Necessity for Physical Exercise." She spoke of the loss of will power and the consequent detraction to personal ap pearance; the wrong positions that be came habitual and the need of taking certain exercises to remedy these de fects. ARE OMINOFS SIGNS. The disease of 'Amerlcnultes," as the nervous affections of our people are often railed, may be obvlnteil by this means. The thriving of insan asylums and nervous prostration sani tariums aie ominous signs In till" country and should be given attention. It is often heard "My daughter Is too delicate or too nervous to take gym nasium work," when that Is precisely what she should take to overcome the delicacy of constitution. Gymnasium work Is a part of the school curriculum In Germany, France and Mexico, and It is well Indeed that school boards of America nre beginning to consider the matter of adopting a general system. Mrs, W D. Kennedy gave an excel lent paper on "Educational Classes." In the course of which she said: If the question should be asked by som one not familiar with the work of the Young Women's Christian association. Why have educational classes? Wet would ii'i'ly: To awaken and de ve.cp the lnlcllcctiinl life of yemng wo men, to meet their desires and needs, end as In all other departments, to open an avenue for spiritual work. A carefully sele-cted odueationa! com mittee must have a general supervision of the work. On this committee there should be some having experience) as ed ucator. It is also well to have others with time and willingness to visit thn students nt their homes, thus by person al acquaintance with them, becoming In terested In and better understanding their personal needs. A special fitness Is required by the chalrniau of this committee". She should bo thoroughly In earnest, havo good ex ecutive ability, and last, though not least, a liberal supply of Christian grace) ami perseverance. SUCCESS OF CLASS WORK. Tho success of tho class work will de pent! very largely on tho superintendent of tho classes nnd her teachers. Tho superintendent will need not only Intel lectual ability, but she should havo a sympathetic nature and Christian tact. Tho teachers should thoroughly know and also be uble to teach their subjects.
