Dear Josh I have decided to end It all.
I wish that you and Jim will indue

as to secure to my wife and daughter
my one-third share of their estate. I
ask that every paper, memorandum, etc.,"

Mr. ' Bullitt - was a lawyer. Mr. J. H.
McMiirran, of .this city, an intimate
friend of Mr, Bullitt, and who was
largely instrumental in inducing him to
come to New York, spoke of . his friend
last night.
"I cannot imagine why he did it,"
said Mr. McMurran. "The only reason
to be given is that the past three or
four years of financial depression which
he passed through. His home is In
Duluth, "Minn. He was counsel for the
Northern Pacific railway at St. Paul
prior "to moving to JJUluth. ' i? lve or
six years ago, I can't iust recall the
exact time, thoughr I was at his wed
ding, Mr. Bullitt married Miss Frances
Western, of St. Paul. She is a most
estimable woman, and their home life
was the happiest. They have a sweet
little girl about 2 years old. Mrs. Bul
litt's mother and sister live with her
In Duluth, Mr. guUUt was the nephew
of John C. Bullitt, one of the most
prominent citizens of Philadelphia, His
father is Logan M; Buhitt, of Louis
ville, Ky and he has a brother, Joshua
F. Bullitt, Jr., to whom the letter was
addressed. Josh.ua is also known as a
junior, because he has an, uncle of the
same name. .
About a month "ago "Mr. Bullitt came
to New York, largely because of my re
peated urging. I knew that his talents
would, never be recognized in Duluth
aid coTvineed him that he would make
bis mark here. He was arranging for
offices; and only three days ago told me
he was about to take out his license
here. He was one of the most lovable
men I ever knew, and his ability was
akin to genius.'
The dead man was about 36 years old.
He was educated at Washington and
Lee university, and afterward studied
law at the University of Virginia. On
completing his education he went to St.
Paul, Minn., and engaged in the prac
tice of his profesion. Some months ago
he gave up his law practice and engaged
in various gold mine speculations in
Mexico which were' thought to be of a
rather wild character.

POSTAL' SAVINGS BANKS
Strongly Urged in Postmaster Gen-
; eral Gary's Fir3t Esport.
SHOULD BE ESTABSISHED NOW.
.Vostmaster General Declares Their
Establ Islifneiit Wonld Confer Great
Boon to Citizens and Be .of Inesti
mable Value to the Whole Country.
Washington, Nov. 15. The first an
nual' reports :of Postmaster Ge'neral J.
A. Gary to the president was- made
public last night. Jts feature Is the
strong, advocacy of postal savings de
positories. Ie says the time is ripe for
their establishment, and that the adop
tion of a welU organized system would
confer a great boon upon a large num
ber of people and ultimately be of ines
timable benefit to the whole country. -
The estimates of the revenues and ex
penditures for the . fiscal year ending
June 30, 1899, are: Total postal reve
nue for 1897, $82,665,462.73; add 5 per
cent, $4,133,273.13. Estimated revenue
for 1898, $86,798,735.86; add 7 per cent,
$6,075,911.51." Total estimated revenue
for 1899, $92,874,647.37;- estimated ex
penditures for 1899, $98,922,760; deficien
cy for 1899, estimated, $6,048,112.63.
Following Is anv abstract of the re
port: '
Reiterating . the injustice inflicted
'otb upon the postal revenues and the
coi;le by second class mail matter
-arriage regulation, the enactment1 by
cngiess of. some measure to remedy
he wrong, similarly pointed out by
ast postmasters general, is urged. As
.0 this the postmaster general, says:
'If this were done there would be an
nd to postal deficits; and the service
ould be enlarged and popularized by
i broad extension of free delivery wi'th
ut Infringement uppn the general re--icurets
of the government, and even
tually result in the much desired re
luction of letter postage to one cent
per ounce." - . '
The experimental rural free delivery
has been generally appreciated. Few
expenditures have conferred greater
POSTMASTER GENERAL GARY,
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.
Many millions of dollars are undoubt
edly secreted by people who have little
or no connaence m ordinary securities
and monetary institutions organized
by private citizens. It is dead capi-
tal, but if its owners could be inspired
with absolute confidence in the secur
ity of-an investment it is altogether
pro liable that the bulk of this fund
would find Its way into the channels
of trade and commerce. If the gov
ernment undertook this task the ser
vice would undoubtedly be gladly ac
cepted by the people. .Their faith in
the government is unbounded.
- Their little savings, which separately
could hardly be put out at interest.
would amount in the aggregate to a
sum that could be invested to their
advantage. It would tend to cultivate
thrift in a large class.
The proposition is an accomplished
fact in nearly every country in Europe,
in the British, dependencies : of both
hemispheres, and even in Hawaii. In
Great .Britain 7,000,000 depositors have
upward of $550,000,000 in savings accumu
lated during 35 years, and in ten years
fewer than 10,000 Hawaiian depositors
saved nearly $1,000,000.
France made a profit in 1895 of $170,000
in hadling 2.500,000 accounts, aggre
gating $143,000,000, after paying & per
cent interest. Great Britain earned a
surplus of $83,000, after paying 2 per
cent interest, on $480,000,000, made up
of 6,500,000 accounts. The average coi-
mission paid to postmasters is one cent
per deposit. Any account may be set
tled and withdrawn from any deposi
tory in the country.

the ; United States. Mr. White ') Is . an
outspoken advocate of the retirement
of the greenbacks and the adoption of
.n elastic banking currency based upon
business assets. He declares that the
silver dollars should be redeemed in
COld and that4n a financial sense there
is no difference between " the severaf
forms of government fiduciary circu
lation of which silver dollars are part.
"The latter," he declares, "are metallic
greenbacks." He does not believe that 1
the amount of circulation presented for
redemption would be any greater than :
at present If silver were redeemable in
gold. In answer to the questions re
garding the maintenance of the gold
standard Mr. White says:
T would recommend the redemption,
retirement and cancellation of all legal
tender notes as a first step. Probably
the silver certificates and silver dollars
would theieatter remain at par with
gold, like the outstanding thaiers of
Germany, and would not be presented
for redemption' in any -considerable
amount, being needed, like the smaller
silver coins, for circulation tfi retail
trade. After the retirement of the legal
tender notes we. should Jbe able to see
better what to do next." .
Mr. Whitp believes that in process of
time it will not be possible to rely upon
national bonds . as security for bank
note issues, because of the extinction
of the public ebt. In reply to the ques
tion whether any safe-and practicable
plan can be devised for -using otheri
securities he says that he thinks not.
He believes that 50 per cent of the paid
up and unimpaired capital of the bank
should be the limit of the note issues',
and that a cash . reserve should be held
for the ed'ernptibiv of notes. ' .
Mr. White says further: "In general
I.approve of the plan adopted by-Uhe
American Bankers' association at Bal
timore,"" in r October,: 1S94, , commonly
called the 'Baltimore plan. All bank
notes should be redeemable at the com
mercial centers of the.eountry, and also
at their own. counters. Perhaps an ex
ception should be mad of the Pacific
Coast, . on account of. distance. ' . v
"In. times of. panic or. sudden strin
gency 1 would allow an extra issue
equal to-25 per cent of : the. bank's capi
tal, conditioned ucon the oavment of
a tax, at Vhe rate of 5 per cent per an
num, to the government, as long. as, the
excess of notes remains outstanding.
'I would allow any bank having a.
paid up capital of . not' less than. $1,000,
000 to establish j branches in its own
state," and any bank having, a capital
of $5,000,000 or more to establish branch
es in any part of the United States. I
would, allow notes to be" issued only by
the parent' bank, although they, might
be issued to and paid out by the branch
banks in the usual course of business:?
