LOSS IS HEATER THAI SUPPOSED fhortate Of New Jersey Bank Now Given Out As Being $358,000. Is EXCEEDS ALL THE ESTIMATES A:l The Assets Of The Institution Wiped Out By Cashier's Defalcation. New York, Aug. 22. Exceeding by f it all previews amounts stated in the s'lortige of Raymond E. Smith, the missing Treasurer of the Roseville Trust Company, of Newark, N. J., a 1 official statement issued in behalf of the New Jersey State Banking Department yesterday gives the loss as $ ;58,0OO. Special Deputy Commissioner L. R. Vredenburgh gave out the formal state ment yesterday. The shortage wipes out e tirely the assets of the institution a id leaves besides, an actual loss of $'.69,000 which the depositors will s ffer unless the directors intend to t'leir tentative promise to make good to the depositors whatever loss that I rises. The size of the defalcation came as a shock to all the persons involved. Even those in close touch with the work of the examiners were amazed at the f.ures. Vice-President William Fairlie raid that he had held out some hope of recuperating from the entanglement at tributed to the missing Treasurer, but o.tfronted with the official statement of Mr. Vredenburgh, he expressed des I air of coping with the situation in'so f .r as the directorate of the wrecked company is concerned. Clifford F. MacEvoy, President of the repositors' Association of the Rose- ille Trust Company, had been hopeful tf the depoistors receiving a large part 1 f their money back, but after learning the official report he wsa inclined to t'.-spair. Mr. Vredenburgh's statement fol lows: - "Counting-the assets of the institu tion found in the company's files at hook-value, the capital, surplus and pro- fi s of about $189,000 are wiped out, and in addition a loss to depositors cf about $169,000 is indicated. The tital deficiency therefore appears to be $358,000. "In addition to the assets found in the files of the institution, a large volume of notes, mostly past due, were found in Smith's desk, and a hasty estimate's indictaes a value therein of about $25,000, If those notes belonged to the trust Company, whatever can be rca ized therefrom would reduce the raid $169,000 prima facie loss to de- ositors. "In other words, if those notes found in Mr. Snith's desk can be held as assets of the company and about $25,000 can be realized therefrom the loss to the depositors as it 'at present appears would be about $144,000. "To this loss will have to be added the losses on the notes found regularly f.!ed. "Whatever may be recovered from the surety on the Treasurer's bond of 720,000 is not included in the foregoing estimate of loss, as the surety company l.as not yet admitted its liability." Two Strenuous Lives. Ctovta Hughes, the French journalist, poet and duelist, filled his fifty-five years of life with sufficient excitement to make him worthy of special men tion. One of his claims to distinction was that he had' engaged in a French duel which resulted fatally for the other man. He was a tempestuous radical and was once suspended from the chamber of deputies for lnsultlny remarks to the president, which did not at all curb him. He wrote a num ber of novels, poems and plays in which he sought to spread socialistic propaganda, and he wrote a preten tious five act drama in verse called "Le Sommeil de Denton" ("The Bleep of Danton"), which was produced at the Opera Comique. His wife contrib uted her share of excitement by killing public official in the palace of Justice because of an alleged insult Before she was tried she wrote and acted "La Vegeance de lime. Olovls Hughes." The play depicted her sensational act and represented her as triumphantly exonerated by 'the court When her trial came the court did as predicted.

The origin of gloves Is very ancient Some authorities assert that they were known in Bible times, from references made to "shoes' which were thought to be identical with gloves. The first clear account of gloves comes, how ever, from Xenopbon. This writer peaks of the Persians wearing gloves on their hands to protect them from the cold. Homer describes Laertes working in his garden with gloves upon his hands to protect them from the thorns, and Varro mentions this apparel as being worn by the Romans Gloves have been tokens of solemn and important things from the ninth ceu tury. They were adopted ns a rite of the church, and later the transferring of lands or titles was always attended with the presentation of gloves. In the eleventh century the method of challenging; to single combat by throw ing down a glove was instituted, and this custom still remains in some coun tries. . - Plerpont Morgan's Fairy Palace. Pierpont Morgan's wonderful house in Prince's Gate differed little on the outside from Its neighbors, merely two bouses rolled into one, but its Interior suggested nothing so much as the fairy palace of Aladdin. In the hall a spring was pressed and part of one of the walls "fell away" in the approved style. Ton walked down into a base ment, which at first sight resembled nothing so much. as one of the lower decks on a large liner. Ranged along the walla were what appeared to be a number of safes, but they were really doors opening into small rooms, Into each of which a particular portion of Mr. Morgan's collection had been brought There were rooms for En lish sliver, for' porcelain and for half i dozen other objets d'art No one whe was ever fortunate enough to be shown round by Mr. Morgan himself can for get the experience. London Bystander Mercury Poisoning. "I would suggest" says a doctor, "that whenever persons are found to have swallowed bichloride of mercury. several esKK be forced down then throats. The albumen In the eggs will form a chemical compound with the mercury, which will be Insoluble. Then the poison will pass out through the Intestines) or be vomited by the vie tun. It to always a good thing to pump out the stomach first or to in duce vomiting. Many times it is neces sary to net quickly if .the life of the person to to be saved, and It takes time for a physician to arrive on the scene. Bichloride of mercury will not produce a painless death. It is a poi son that paralyses the liver. It eats through the walls of the stomach, and the victim generally dies in great agony." Des Moines Register and SOMEWHAT DISCOURAGED. North Harlowe Farmers Worried Over Hog Cholera and Rain. C. C. Bell, of North Harlowe, who was in the city Friday says that the prevalence of cholera among the hogs and the damage to cotton on account of the rains have caused the farmers in his section to be a little discouraged. Mr. Bell himself lost twenty-six head of hogs and he said his neighbors had suffered about as badly as he. As to the cotton he said that from land which he expected would, produce two thousand pounds of seed cotton i to the acre he. would be glad if he got one thousand pounds. Corn, he said, was very good and there would be good crop. Sweet potatoes are also yielding fairly well.

It seems to me thai a clock baa a language of Its own. He WeO. scarcely a language-say a di alect One day, years and years ago, an im portant event took place in the life of Mrs. Moses Barton, residing in a New England village In the days of Mrs. Barton the wom en of the land, from high to low, wore bonnets. Mrs. Barton's bonnet at the time the important event happened, was seven, years old. It had gone through many trials and tribulations and had become almost a wreck at last. The good little woman must have a new one, and sne slgnea at tne tnougnr. Moses was a man who hung on to his pennies to the last The campaign must be got under Way, however, and when he came in to rest his back from hoeing in the garden she tremblngly said: "Moses, I have been looking at my old bonnet" "Why do you call It old?" he asked. "Because it's seven years old." "Well, isn't my Sunday hat nigh fifteen?" "But other women are getting new bonnets," she mildly protested. "But you have got nothing to do with other women's souls. If they had rather have new bonnets then go to heaven when they die. that's for them to say. You can have 2 shll lings to buy some new ribbons to trim with, but it must stop there for two or three years longer." That settled It There were tears. but no mutiny. Next day the important event took place. Moses wouldn't give up the price because ho was stingy. If the wife could get $4 or $5-some other way he would probably not object to her investing it in a bonnet. Could she wash and iron for a neighbor? Could she make a new rag carpet for some of them? She was scheming away when the matter was settled for her. Moses was going away for week to visit a relative, and she would go to the big huckleberry marsh and pick and sell berries. Providence ought to feel very tender toward a woman with a seven-year-old bonnet, and It surely did in this case Mrs. Barton arrived at the marsh but hadn't picked a berry yet when she came upon a horse bogged in the swamp. It belonged to a village mer chant and was a fine and valuable ani mal. The thing to do was to throw away the poll and make tracks and notify the owner of the helpless horse. That's just What Mrs. Burton did, and a lot of iLch wail lo tne swamp auu pulled the animal out Of course the owner was very grate ful. He knew that a neighbor would not take money as a reward, and he asked his wife what could be done. "Why, you can' present Mrs. Barton with a new bonnet," was the reply "I happen to know that her present one is seven years oia ana mat nor husband thinks it ought to last seven more." The merchant kept a general store. which Included even millinery, and the wife selected an eight dollar bonnet and carried it over. There were thanks and tears in return. Mrs. Barton could hardly contain herself until her hus band reached home. She had the bon net on when he entered the bouse. Take It off!" he growled after one glance. "But it was a present to me" "Then give It right back!" The wife told him the story of the bogged horse, but he Insisted that an eight dollar bonnet was an invention of Satan and could not be allowed In the house. Then something almost miraculous happened. The little and humble Mrs. Barton stood right up before her husband and said: T shall keep the new bonnet-so there!" "Maryl" "I shall-I shall-I shall I" "You will take it back to Mr. Brown and tell him you had rather hare 12 hi money." "I never will I" "Then I will leave the bouse!" Despite the threat she refused to obey, and he went to the house of s sister to pass the night. That sister didn't have an eight dollar bonnet and she didn't want her sister-in-law crowing over her, and so she naturally braced the husband up to carry his point Almost before breakfast next morn ing it was known all over the village that Mr. and Mrs. Barton had quarrel ed about her new bonnet and separat ed. The wives naturally said: "Why, the old curmudgeon! Did you ever hear of the like?" And the husbands naturally said "Barton has done perfectly right These seven and eight dollar bonnets are bringing ruin upon the country!" Before the sun went down thst even lng the villagers worn divided into two factions and taking things very sen ously. .The row was still on and hotter than ever when Mr. Barton fell Into the river and was rescued in a half drown ed condition. Among those who called to see him after the water had bees pumped out was his parson. "Parson, do you think I'm In the wrong?" asked the revived. "I surely do." "Where was I wrong?" "In not spending the same amount ol money on new clothes for yourself to natch the bonnet" Two days later the row was at as and and everybody shaking hands and Borrowing or lending tea and coffee. NEW YORK. VICTIM OF APHASIA FOUND IN CALIFORNIA MINING TOWN. New York, Aug. 22. Caleb Hughes, r., the young student of the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, who disappeared from that city more than four months ago, has returned to his father's home at 720 East Two Hundred and Twentieth street, the Bronx. He was found in a California mining town. The family physician calls it a case of lost identity, a nervous collapse from over study. Young Hughes' memory is still clouded, and according to his father, he has sent him to Philadelphia for the healing influence of renewed association with friends. Both the finding of the youth and the discovery of his disappearance were due to a Philadelphia school teacher, Miss Lottie Gibbs, 2229 South Sixty-eighth street, to whom he l ad been attentive He had seen her on the evening of April 13, and had arranged to come over from Darby, where he boarded, the next morning to take her to church He did not keep the appointment and she did not see him again. A few days later she received a brief note from him, bearing a Camden post mark, and contained the sentence -I am held an unwilling captive." No trace of Hughes was found until June 30, when Miss Gibbs received a letter from him postmarked Colfax, Cal., June 1. His mother then wrote a letter, which, young Hughes says, brought back his recollections. He knew who he was, he wrote home and later started East. The first thing he remembers is work ing at odd jobs in Chicago. He remem bers moving West and of a long sickness somewhere. Then he worked his way to Colfax and lived there under what name he does not recall. Answers The Call New Bern People Have Found That This Is Necessary.

During the past two or three weeks or in fact since the epidemic of bicycle stealing in New Hern has broken out, the police have been hot on the trail of the thieves and they are of the opinion that they have the right par ties under surveillance and are only awaiting a favorable opportunity of lacing them under arrest. It is estimated that .it least twenty i bicycles have disappeared during the past three weeks and only three or four of these have been recovered. Where the wheels are taken or how they are disposed of is merely a matter of peculation but it is believed that the thieves ride them to some other town nd dispose of them at those places to some bicycle dealer who is on the lookout for a bargain. One of the policemen informed a Journal reporter yesterday afternoon hat he had a negro "spotted" whom he had every reason to believe was one of the thieves and that as soon as he was located he would be placed under arrest.
