In his “New Discourse of Trade” Sir Josiah Child, im the seventeenth century, attacked what he was pleased to term “‘that innovated practice of bankers in London ;” the practice referred to is explained by this passage taken from **The Mystery of the New-fashioned Gold- amiths or Bankers Discovered,” by Mr. Gil- bart: *“Much about the same time—the time of thecivil commotion—the new-fashioned bankers began to receive the rents of gentlemen's estates remitted to town and allow them and others who put cash in their hands some in- terest for it if it remained but a single month im their bands. This wasa great allurement for people to put money into their hands, which would bear interest till the day they wanted it, and they could draw it out at the time they wanted it, with infinitely less trouble than as if they had lent it out on either real or personal security. “To go back still further, banking was prac- tleed st Florence as early as the twelfth cen- tury. We learn that the names of Bardi, 4 ciajuoli. Paruzzi, Pitti and Medici were known, throughout Europe and universally esteemed bythe people. In prompt and generous treat- ment of patrons Woods & Company of this city have tried to emulate the example of the first} bankers of the world. Situated on the ‘Wall streat of Washington, with the best possi- bie facilities for carrying on a general banking business; draw exchange on New York, Chicago, Baltimore ; spacious offices, vaults of strongest make, good capital. advanced ideas! “When old Athens instituted her exchanges, ‘were the ladies welcorie? **When Corinth started her banks, were the Indies given a chance to avail themselves of ood conservative investments? “When Rome, the mistress of the world, gave big per cents for moneys icaned, did the Roman maatrons realize the exquisite satisfaction of mak- ing investments, running a bank account, dis- evunting notes, making collections? “No! It is America who always leads in emancipation ; it is America that Loasts of inde- pendent and noble women; it is the American banker who first led the tottering steps of woman down the thorny path of finance, and it is WOODS & COMPANY, at 127 F street, who first extended s willing and courteous request to the women of Washington to cometo the Dank, transact business, live and learn, and never a word about their propensity to indorse checks on the wrong end.” - Collections made and exchange drawn free of charge for depositors.

Hill's Intentions Are as to Renomination, CLEVELAND POPULAR WITH THE DEMOCRATS— UNCERTAINTY a8 TO TAMMANY'S ACTION—TRE THIRD PARTY To BE SHORT LIVED—RECIPROCITY FAVOKABLY RECEIVED IX SOUTH AMERICA. Ex-Senator Warner Miller is in Washington on business, presumably connected with the ‘steamship mail contracts under the new sub- sidy act. A Star reporter had a chat with him about politics this morning. But recently re- turned from Nicaragua, where he spent some time as a castaway on a barren isle, he said he bad not been paying much attention to politics, but he talked as ifhe knew deal more than his modesty led him to admit. The governorship, and with it the intentions of Mr. Hill, he said, was occupy- ing the attention of New York politicians. “Even Mr. Hill's friends,” he said, “do not seem to be informed as to his plans, and the governorship seems to be intepesting every one. Several persons are being spoken of in connection with the republican nomination, but there is nothing crystallized as yet. Nobody knows whether or not Mr. Hill is going to ask for the democratic nomina~ tion or whether he will be satisfied to take his seat in the Senate. Flower and Jones are can- didates, but Hill, being candidate for the Presidential nomination, naturally wants to eep hold of the democratic machine in the state, either by taking the nomination himself or by nominating a friend. If he can name the governor he will retain control of the machine. The doubt is as to his plans whether or not he can carry them out.” “What chance have the republicans of carry- ing the state?” was asked. “The democrats are very apt to vote to- gether, however they may fight over the nom- ination. They will probably vote for their nominee whoever he may be.” CLEVELAND POPULAR WITH THE MASSES. Speaking of the presidential nomination, Mr. Miller said: “Cleveland is strong with the mass and | REV. DR. BRIGGS’ CASE The General Assembly Will Probably Discuss it on Thursday, DISTRIBUTING TEE POPGS ENCYCUCAL Widespread Strike of Stage Dri- vers in Paris. THE KAISER AND RAILWAYS. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. It le Claimed That Prof. Briggs’ Recent Ap- pointment Will Be Vetoed. Dernorr, Micu., May 25.—The ministerial delegates to the Presbyterian assembly were pretty well occupied yesterday at special sere ices in the various Presbyterian, Methodist, Congregational and Baptist churches in the city. All of these churches had services morning and evening by the visitors and in addition there were meetings in various in- terests in the afternoon. Col. Eliot F. Shepard's Sunday observance meeting at the Scotch Pres- byterian Church was a failure, not more than 300 persons being present. The colonel him- self was ill and did not participate m the speoch- making. THIS MORNING'S SEASON. This morning the assembly resumed ite labors and took up the discussion of « design for the seal of the church where it left off on Saturday. One party favors a cross with a ser- | pent ined about it as an emblem, | While the opposition favors a representation of an open Bible. The serp dexign wae de- nounced as anti-biblical by Rev. Dr. Rice of San Francisco, whereupon Elder Geo. Junkin of Philadelphia made an elaborate speech in defense oi the serpent. The discussion waxed warm for an hour and balf and was then put over until the afternoon. THE BRIGGS CASE. The report of the commities on theological seminaries was made the first order of the day for Thureday morning. | This will open up the Briggs case for dincus- | sion. As a rule the members of the present as- sembly are reticent as to the probabilities in re- gard to ointment of Dr. Briggs, M. ¥ they are waiting to hear the report of the committee on theological 7 is found who iy xp expects the app: of his party in the state, but Hill at present has control of the machine. You can't tell whether or not he can keep control or what Tammany may do. Tammany can send just such a dele- gation to the convention as they want to, re-~ gardless of the wishes of either Mr. Hill or Mr. Cleveland. ‘They are a secret o very little influenced by public opini land is very popular emong the democrats throughout the state. The democracy of the whole country seemed to be for him with one voice before he wrote his silver letter, but that letter has created a disturb ance in the thing in doubt. ex-Postmaster General in an interview says that the tariff is to be the main issue of the cam- paign in "92, if that is true, if the democrats are going again to fight for’ free trade, Cleve- land is their natural leader. But if free coin- age of silver is to be made the principal plank in their national platform I do not see how he can run on it.” THE THIRD PARTY. “Will not the third party movement inter- fere with any purpose to make free coinage the issue in the democratic platform?” “Of course; if a third party makes that an issue and puts a national ticket in the field, and the democrats do the same thing, it will divide the strength of the free coinage men, while all those opposed to free coinage will have to vote together.” “What do you think of the third party move- ment?” “Ido not think it can last long. History teaches us that no party built upon one idea can live. The greenback party, the grange. the prohibition party and all the rest of like sort have failed, and I think this will also. It is so near the presidential cam; now, how- ever, that it would have to suffer a very sudden death not to have some influence on the election of "92. If they put a presidential ticket in the field they may not carry any state, but they may get enough votes to change the result in some of the states, just as activity on the part of the prohibition party has aided the democrats in carrying New York. The movement may have an influence on the cam- paign. Pile declined to discuss the probabilities as to the republican presidential nomination. Speaking of reciprocity, he said that as far as he could judge during his travels in that part of the world. the popular sentiment on the principal islands of the West Indies and in Central and South America was in favor of reciprocity with the United States, their mar- kets being here. But to build up this trade lines of steamers were n . Under the new shipping act he thought these lines would be constructed and the ship companies wouid themselves build up the trade, taking the risk of shipping cargoes and a mar- ket for them, as the line to Brazil had done.

It is generally believed that in case of a veto the trustees of Union Seminary will withdraw that institution from under the wing of the general assembly and make it an independent college. WORK AMONG THE FREEDMEN. Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, chairman of board for work among the freedmen, made his re- port this morning. The report showed 230 churches under the board's control. Two hundred churches had become self-sustainin during the year.

Buouxamax, Ava. May 25.—Education was the special order of ‘the Presbyterian assembly this morning. The synodical records were ail found to be correct. ‘Tomorrow morning was set aside as time to pray for rain. THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL, Popular Translations W Be Distributed in All Countries. Rome, May 25.—His holiness the pope bas ordered popular translations of his recent en- cyclical letter to be distributed to workingmen of all countries. ‘The encyclical isconsidered asa definitive con- eecration of the tendencies of Gardinal Man- ning and Cardinal Gibbons as opposed to French economic school under Bisho) Freppel, and asa direct development of Cardinal Gib- bons’ attitude in regard to the Knights of Labor. z President Carnot, Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph have sent messages to the pope congratulating his holiness upon the encyclical letter. a eae PARISIANS HAVE TO WALK. ‘The Entire Stage Service of the City Sus- pended by a Strike.

The striking drivers as- sembled around the offices and «tables of the company in order to prevent biacklegs from being employed. ‘The public stage service of Paris is entirely suspended. ‘The company during the day made an at- tempt to run a few stages, but the strikers at- tacked them, cut the traces, pulled the drivers from ‘their seats and left the stages in the streets. ‘The police arrived on the scene too late to prevent the stages from be- ing stormed, but the officers afterward several arrests among the strikers. ‘The pres- dent of the Stage Drivers’ Union was one of the men taken into custody. ‘THE KAISER A NATIONALIST.
