J Crowds of Depositors Assembled at Doors of Institution in the Early Morning. COULDN'T QET THEIR MONEY, Baik Officials Reqalrloj Thirty aod sixty Days' Notice ol Intention to With draw Foods Tbe Trouble Is Ihooxht lobe at ao Eod. By Telegraph to the Homing Star. Bt. Lotjis, Oct. 23. The statement of President Julius B. Walsb. of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, whose sentiments are echoed by other truat company officials of St. Louis, that "the aituation ia thoroughly in hand, the excitement has subsided and from this on we expect business will be conducted in the (usual orderly man ner," expresses the opinion thatseema general to night after the unwonted financial conditions whloh nre vailed here during Darts of yesterday and to day. Officers of all the trust compa- niea state that voluntary offers of help were received imm Unarcial institu tions in New York. Philadelphia. Chicago, New Orleans, Kansas City, Boston and many of the smaller towns of Missouri and Illinois, but all were declined for the reason that they bad sufficient cash .with which to handle their busineaa. Expressions of confi dence and offers of aid on the Dart of the national banks, financial and other institution! of Bt Louis have helped to strengthen the aituation and restore confidence. Long before 10 o'clock, the hour of opening, lines of depositors stretched away from the closed doors of the Misaia alppl Valley Trust Company, the Ltineoln Trust Company, the Mercan tile Trust Com Dan v and the Missouri Truat Company. Small crowds were assembled before the doors of aome of the other savings Institutions also. It was observed that most of those in line were working people and many of them women, whose savings were not heavy. O wing to the action taken last night by the officials of the eight truat companies doinar business in St. Louis, requiring thirty and aixty days notice of intention to withdraw funds, depositors were not able to get any money. AH they could do was to de clare their intention of withdrawing their deposits at the expiration of the time limit. . The greatest crush waa before the doors of the Mercantile Trust Compa ny, on Eighth and Locust streets. At 9 o'clock the doors were opened and the crowd surged In with a force that swept aside the lines of police and the bank employes formed to nreserve a regular line to the windows of the pay ing tellers. The policemen were unable to bandle the crowds and Featua J. Wade, president of the Mercantile Truat Company, mounted a chair and made a statement that unlesa the de positors formed in line they would be all ejected from the building. He ex plained that It was impossible to wait on them if they Insisted on crowding In such a manner. The announcement had tbe deaired effect and aome sem blance of order waa restored. By 10 o'clock the crowd around the Trust Company's building had in creased to such an extent that the po lice were totally unable to control it, and the officers stationed at the doors were swept away from their stations almost as ralply as they could regain them. Women, who constituted a large per centage of the crowd, were eras bed in the jam and in the struggle their dressea were torn and their hats knocked off. The policemen in trying to handle the crowd pushed many of them into the' gutter, and in several instances personal fights were averted only by tbe interposition of cooler persons. Shortly after tbe doora of the Mer cantile Trust Company were opened the streets were crowded for a distance of several hundred feet and all efforts to keep them clear were practically abandoned, while the police directed their efforts cbteny toward maintain Ing aome degree of order at the doors. At 1 o clock in tbe afternoon tbe uneatineca of amall depositors in the truat companies seemed to have been removed. At this hour there were only a few depositors withdrawing daily balance accounts or giving notice of withdrawal of i a vines de posits at the Mercantile and the Mis sissippi Valley companies. Many per sona who withdrew money yesterday deposited it again to-day, and in some instances new sayings accounts were opened. Officers of tbe different institutions made reassuring speeches to tbe de oosltors before their doors, and this helped to send others away. The ar rival of several boxes of gold and all ver in express wagons guarded by armed officers seemed to restore a de gree of confidence in the crowd before tbe Mercantile Trust Company build- in c. At the other trust companies the withdrawals were but little In excess of the normal. One effect of tbe withdrawals was observed at the City Hall in tbe great increase in the pay ment of taxes. ' Lumberton Robesontani A few times in onr life we have heard of dog which could run down a live deer, but it remained for Mr. Samp son Cox, of Britts township, to dem onstrate that such a feat was pos sible by man. Last week while In the woods and unarmed, he came upon a deer which immediately took to flight, straightway he pur sned him for several miles, overtook him, threw him to tbe ground, and killed him. He brought the horns to town and sold them for $2.00 and they were said to be a very fine pair of antlers- Mr. Cox did not tell us of this exploit himself, but we haye it on reliable authority which we cannot question.

Resolutions Adopted byjnterstate Convention in Session at New Orleans. PLEA FOR GOVERNMENT AID. Prolectloa of tbe Mississippi Valley from Floods Declared to be ol National Im portance Congress Urged to Make Appropriations Br Telegraph to the Morning Star. - New Orleans, Oct. 28. The Inter state Mississippi River Improvement and Levee Association concluded its session to-night after adopting a series of resolutions for government juris diction of the levees or adequate appro priations for their speedy construction, if government control is not advisable. and endorsing the proposed waterway from the Great Lakes to the Gulf and tbe Chicago sanitary canal as a part of that project. The feature of the morning aeaslon was Judge Robert 8. Taylor's appeal againat the proposed movement ror government ownertmp. at toe opening or the afternoon aeaslon the report of the committee on resolutions waa presented as follows: "Jiesolvea. That In the judgment of this convention, the protection of the Mississippi Valley from floods Is of such national importance as not only to justify, but to make it tbe duty of the general government to undertake it and press it to the speediest possible completion, if for any reason the ex ercise of jurisdiction at thii time by tbe general government should not be deemed advisable, then this conven tion urges most earnestly that Con gress make at Its approaching session sueb appropriations as are requested by tne Mississippi river commission In Its recent report. "Ketwved further. That the svstem of river improvements in the alley of the Mississippi, from its head waters to the Gulf, and in the valley of the Ohio and other tributaries, now provided for, and those which may hereafter be provided for by Congress. under the aupervision of the United States engineers, moves our hearty commendation and should be press ed to completion without unnecessary delay. "Resolved. That the attention of CoDerress ia invited to the serious dis asters wbicb have befallen those re sidine at or near 8t. Louis. Kansas City, and other localities by reason of tbe recent great .floods, and the aecre tary of war is respectfully requeated to cause an inquiry to be maae witn a view to the preparation of suitable plana for tbe prevention of a recur rence of such io juries. "Kesolved, That tbe convention of delegates representing the States of the Great Mississippi Valley, from Duluth to the Gulf of Mexico, give its unqualified approval to the movement for tbe construction or a waterway connecting the Great Lakea at the oorth with the Mississippi river and the Gulf of Mexico at the south. "We recognize the expenditure of thirty-five millions by the sanitary dis trict of Chicago as a practical oemon- uration In tbe furtherance of thla project, we express tne nope that me senators and representatives in Con gress from the various States repre sented in this convention will give their encouragement and assistance to congressional legislation in favor of tbe completion of the .deep-waterwaya to whffch tbe Mississippi Valley States have already given their approval. and to which the State of Illinois and the sanitary district of Chicago are committed as a matter of policy and by great financial expenditures al ready made." The resolutions were received with applause and were adopted unani mously. A committee was appointed to me morialize Congress with the resolu tions adopted. - President Scott then introduced Hon. Charles S. Fsirchild, of New York, who said that as the govern ment bad aided trana-continentai railroadp. had taken up Irrigation of tbe West and la planning an isth mian canal, he believed the levee pro ject abould receive equal attention from it. Mr. R'chard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers' Record, followed Mr. Faircbild. Congressman John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, was ' introduced and strongly defended the constitutional ity of government aid in effecting that plan. Judge George a. Maxwell, or tne National Irrigation Association, spoke next. At the conclusion of Mr. Maxwell's addresr. letters and telegrams were read from governors, senators, con gressmen, railroad presidents ana other. exDxessing sympathy with tbe movement, and tne convention nnai- ly adjourned.

'lie Ec:iisli language may fairly 1...1U1 to tu the most Drolific in the world. Not content with Its native riches, It possesses In a special degree the faculty of assimilating everything useful from other tonzucs. ancient and aiodorn. It ought indeed to be the most peri t vehicle of thought In the world, ami in some respects no doubt it is. But, t-i'.rlousiy enough, there are de ficiencies iu English not to be found in far less copious languages. While in many cases we have half a dozen words expressing the same or prac tically the same thing, there are, on the other baud, certain ideas that have no appropriate, words to express them. In the words denoting relationship some notable gaps are found. The most glaring instance Is the want of a word to distinguish between a male and femala cousin. Other languages. such as French and Italian, have a sep arate word for each, but in English some addition or explanation is re quired in order to make it clear which sex Is intended. Curious gaps occur here and there in our language If we look into it. The word "show" expresses the Idea of making to see, but there Is no word for making to hear a phonograph, for ex ample. "I took the phonograph to my friend and" What? "Got him to listen to It" would probably be the in elegant finish to the sentence. - On the other hand, "audience" means those who hear and applies very well to those present lu a lecture hall or con cert room. But what of those who see a cricket natch, for instance? "Spec tators" is the nearest word, but it does not correspond exactly to "audience." There is one deficiency in the lan guage so awkward aud Irritating that even at this late hour it ought to be made good Need It be said that refer ence is mode to indiscriminate use of the personal pronoun to denote either the person speaking or the person spoken of? This may not be a defect peculiar to English, but it is one from which the ancient classical tongues are entirely free. 'He said he had offered him money. which he had declined," would be quite comprehensible either In Greek or Lat in, but In English It necessitates a num ber of bracketed explanations which are positively annoying and destructive of grace and fluency.
