RELIEF I" TIMES WHEN COUNTRY IS SUFFERING PANIC This Is Provided in a Bill by Senator Aldrich Presented To Senate Yesterday and Being Considered Today.
SUBTREASURIES TO HOLD BLANK BANK NOTES. These Can Be Recalled Whenever Business Picks Up and Nominal Interest Will Be Paid on the Paper. Washington, D. C, January Sen fttor Aldrich of Rhode Island, Chair man of the Committer on Finance, introduced in the Senate yesterday hirf j hill to provide. against. financial j MringPiicies such as recently enibat-j rabsed the banking, commercial and! (igricnlturul interests of the United States and tho finance committee is today considering it. H is an elastic currency measure, 'designed to lend flexibility to the money supply of the country to the extent of $250,000,000. This is to ho tione by permitting national banks to issue emergency circulation, upon which a tax of one half of I per cent, a month is to bo levied in order to insure its retirement as soon as the necessity for its use has passed. This tax is equivalent to the average legal rale of interest in the Mtates, and consequently it would bo of no profit to the banks to keep it in circulation longer. Authority is vested in tho Comptroller of tho Currency to determine whether business conditions demand such additional circulation, the time of issue an dthe amount, and in this way it is proposed to regulate and supervise every operation. In order to expedite such issues whenever they are needed it is provided that bank notes, ready for tho signature of the proper officials of the issuing hanks, shall be deposited in the various subtreasurJes, including Cincinnati, and thus the time that, is now consumed in its transmittal from Washington would be saved. In the case of San Francisco there would be a saving of six days, while in Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and neighboring states the money could be nt into circulation two days in advance. VIVISECTION OF I It Would Be a Benefit to Science, Says Dr. Quay of Cleveland. LAWBREAKER OF NO USE. Cleveland. O., Jan. S. "One fact learned at the sacrifice of a useless criminal may prove a boon to thousnnds of useful citizens." With these words Dr. Georgo H. Quay, Dean of the Cleveland Homeopathic Medical school, today urged the vivisection of criminals and of incorrigible youths for the benefit of science. "Of what use to the world is the habitual lawbreaker?"' Dr. Quay a-iked, ihen answered his question: "Is he not a public charge, a burden im society? Isn't it better that he be placed under the care of skilled surgeons and bacteriologists in order that medical science may benefit?' Saw His Own Finish. Sora time ago the wife of Judge ?lank lost her cook, and. since she had no other resource, she rolled up her sleeves and for a week provided such meals as tho judge had not enjoyed since those happy days when the Blanks did not keep a cook. The Judge's delight was so great that by way of appreciative acknowledgment he presented Mrs. Illank with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite naturally the Incident was a good deal noised about among the social acquaintances of the Blanks and a spirit of envious emulation was developed !n certain quarters. It was in this mood that Mrs. Jerome reeited the story to her husband. "What do l got. Jerry." she asked if I will do the cooking for a week'.'" 'Well." said Mr. Jerome, "at the end of a week, my dear, you'll get one o' thfcse lone (M---.,.,. .,!." Atgouaut. Tennyson said of a strange literary coiucideme: "A Chinese scholar s-ome time ago hi oti- to me .saying that in Oil' unknown ui.transdateU Chinese poem there were two whole lines of mine almost word for word." Byron iu his monody on tho death of Sheridan, where he sas t hi re will never be another Sheridan, the mold being broken' up. employs word for word, terms In which an amk-nt Sanskrit doiiiUient refers to the death of Marti, no: withstanding that Byron could never lgTe sen the document. Sha'.eptare's passage about ioe and lightning, in "Romeo and Juliet." ii.. is almost identical with a quotation firms "Mai at i and Madhava." an Indian toeni by Khavabuti. written nine centuries before, and not translated up to Shakespeare's time.

During sleep the necessary Body-repairs are carried on in the "human workshop." Anything that prevents sound sleep at the proper time, i. e., after retiring at night will, sooner or later, prevent "smooth running" during business hours. That "drowsy feeling" in the forenoon (when everyone from the manager to the office boy should feel as elastic as a rubber ball) is often caused by want of sound, refreshing sleep the night before.

VISCOUNT Ml SAYS DID NOT TALK WAR
Retiring Japanese Ambassador Has Nothing but Words Of Peace and Good Will. HAS DEPARTED FOR HOME. San Francisco. Cal., Jan. S. Viscount Aoki. Japanese ambassador to America, who has teen recalled from Washington by his government has sailed on the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria, accompanied by Viscountess Aolvi ami I. loawagie, secretary of the em hassy. Viscount Aoki. in-fore his departure il. dined to make any statement other than to express his appreciation of the cordial welcome and greeting given him in San Francisco. It was learned that the ambassador, just before leaving the Fairniount hotel, repudiated an interview contained in a local paper Saturday morning and affirmed Sunday morning and declared a.s ho had already done to the Associated Press: "I have not discussed or made any statement upon the immigration uuestioti or any other diplomatic matter since my departure from Washington, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding." Viscount Aoki was quoted as saying that his government would itself restrict immigration and that the passage of an exclusion law would be regarded as offensive to the dignity of Japan. The somewhat natural prejudice which exists against vipers is extended, unfortunately- though not, perhaps, unnaturally to everything resembling a snake, and on this account the common grass snake is often needlessly destroyed. It is perfectly harmless and in its fresh grayish green skin is quite unmistakable, yet if suddenly encountered in a hedgerow or issuing from a ditch death is generally its portion. The way in which, on its own account, it deals death to frogs is somewhat awful in the denouement. The victim, seeming to realize the hopelessness of any attempt to es cape, becomes literally paralyzed with fright and, leaping with enfeebled power, is soon seized by a hinder leg and drawn into the jaws of the enemy. The adder's method of (feeding is similar, but death is more speedy from the wound inflicted by its tubular teeth. The grass snake altogether lacks these teeth and swallows its prey alive. A frog has been heard to scream after being entombed. London Times. Hours Overcome

HAMMER INITIALS MAY SOLVE MYSTERY It Was Found Near the Murdered Girl's Body and Was Used.
SEARCH FOR FOUL SLAYER. Canton. Ohio, January s Tho Ending of a bloody hammer, hidden near the scene of the crime, late this afternoon may bo the mean of bringing to justice the murderer of pretty Elizabeth Brown. wh.se dead body was found this morning at daybreak by men goitic to their work. The body of .Miss Brown, aged ye:s. a Massillon eirl! dressed in .Mlks, js found at the extension i f Eat. Seventh street, in the heart of the Tenderloin district, the victim of a mysterious murder. Nothing has been learned of her movements since Monday night, say the police. Friends say she alway.-, carried eon diierablo money-, and as tile re was no purse on her clothing the authorities lor a time mspee'ed rol bery. At first a brick was thought to have been used in causini; her death, but citizens living in the immediate vicinity report that shots were fired in the night. Now comes tho bloody hammer. The police tonight say the girl was killed with the hammer and that the motive was jealousy. The hammer bore certain initials. The Cloak Bargains at Knollenberg's Store are great. See them! CARING FOR THE OLD. The Humane War Vienna Treats Its A R ed Poor People. In most towns there is ti tendency in this our day ti deal more generously with destitute children than with des titnte men and women. In Berlin and New York, for instance, both money and thought ore lavished on the voting whom the community supports, while, as for the aged, what is given them is piven only of necessity. In Vienna it is otherwise. There the arrange ments for the relief of the old people are better both more carefully considered and more liberal than those for the relief of children, a fact that says more perhaps for the hearts than for the heads of the authorities. If a man or a woman above misty is without money wherewith to provide for himself or the strength to earn the money, he applies to the piiardian of Ids ward for help. Then, if he has a home to live in and some one to take care of him or is able to take care of himself, he is grunted out relief, a money allowance If he can be trusted to spend it wisely; otherwise relief in kind. Supposing, however, he is homeless, feeble and "alone ptandinR," he is sent to a versorpungsbaus, or old age home, if there Is a vacant place there, and, if not, to a small poorhouse until there is. Versorgungshnuser are the distinctive feature of the Austrian poor relief system so far as the aged are concerned. Already in the days of Joseph II. Vienna had two, if not more, of these homes, and at the present time it has six. One of them is reserved exclusively for citizens; another, that at Mauerbach, is reserved for persons who, owing to their perverted notions as to what is seemly, cannot be accorded the full liberty the old people iu the other homes enjoy. In all the Fix together there is space for more than 6.000 inmates. As the versargungshauser are looked upon by classes and masses alike as the homes of the aged poor, the place where they have a right to be. no disgrace Is attached to going there. It would no more occur to an Austrian ex w orker to be ashamed of living in a versorgungshaua than it would to an Knglish veteran to be ashamed of beiug at the Chelsea hospital. Thore is not a touch among tho inmates of that pariah feeling which is so painfully evident among the Inmates of our workhouses. On the contrary, they all seem to lie extremely glad to be where they are and to be rather proud than otherwise of being there. And as it is with them, so it is with their relatives. There is no inclination on their part to look sskance on these old people or to shun tbem.
