The pulpit used to be the chief means of instruction and of intellectual and moral stimulation for the people. The pulpit ora- tor the people's orator. The pulpit has in great measure lost its attractive power in this regard. The daily and weekly press have a greater influence in public instruc- tion. The multiplication of cheap books also takes from the pulpit a large share of its Influence in this regard. Oratory in legislative bodies has to a great extent lost its influence. Its place has been taken by simple. compact, time-saving statements, often printed, but not delivered. Committees do the work which used to be done after discussion before the public. So the people will not listen now to the pulpit orator of former generations. They demand short, crisp sermons that bristle with points, and are practical and helpful. In other words, the oratorical and highly intellectual char- acter of the pulpit which used to attract worshipers no longer attracts them. They feel that they can get more benefit in this regard by reading in the comfort of the home. Multitudes of people can no longer be in- duced to attend church to be instructed by the minister or to get his judgment on topics of the time, or to be stirred by his eloquence: they can get all these things cheaper and easier by reading at home. When, now, this is reinforced by the fact that multitudes disiike the doctrines of the chureh, and resent them when they are preached, we can easily understand that church attendance should decline very greatly from this reason. SUCCESS IS ASSURED Treasury View of the Refunding Plan of the Recent Currency Act. MANY APPLICATIONS FOR NEW BONDS Large Increase in Bank Note Cir- culation Not Expected. SURRENDER OF DEPOSITS ne The success of the refunding plan em- bodied in the gold standard law is regarded at the treasury as assured.’ The applica- tions for the refunding of old bonds up to the close of business on Saturday reached a total of $50,649,450. Nearly all of these come from national banks, which will get the benefit of a reduced tax on circulation when circulation is based upon the new bonds. The completed cases where the papers are in regular form amount to $24,- 300,800, and of these only $2,150,180 are bonds belonging to Individuals and cor- porations other than national banks. Treasurer Roberts has already mailed checks for $72,424 for premiums on private cases numbering sixteen and representing bonds of the face value of $860,150, Demand for New Bank Notes. Controller Dawes and his force are work- ing at high pressure to meet the demands for new bank notes and the transfer of one class of bonds in place of another to se- eure circulation. The national bank notes issued for six days of last week were $5,- 641,060, and those destroyed were only $1,- 320. The net result wi o increase the circulation on Saturday to $257,008,687. This is an increase of $10,000,000 since January 31 and $7,500,000 since February 28. A considerable part of the increase in circu- lation is due to the orders which are pour- ing upon the treasury for circulation to par of bonds already pledged as the basis of circulation. The sum of $2,030,600 in new bank notes was shipped by the controller on Saturday, of which all but $300,000 was from banks raising circulation to par. The circulation secured by bonds now stands at $219,211,712, and that secured by de- posits of lawful money and in process of retirement at $37,886,975. The various transfers of bonds by the banks, with with- drawals In some cases to take advantage of market prices, have had the effect of anticipating the legal limit of $3,000,000 per month for the withdrawal of circulation. The March account has been filled and the April account has been overdrawn to the amount of $2,150,100. The bonds cannot be withdrawn by the banks any faster than the law permits the retirement of the cir- culation. Controller Dawes intends to scrutinize carefully all the applications for new bank charters, whether they come from banks already in existenge under state laws or from new applicants for charters. He has instructed the national bank examiners throughout the United States that he will require them in all cases to report upon the character and standing of the appli- eants for charte: Increase in Bank Notes. It is not belleved by the treasury officials, in spite of the slight flurry which is tak- ing place among the banks, that any large increase of bank note circulation will occur as the result of the refunding operations. An increase of about $25,000,000 will take place through the authority given the banks to raise circulation to par of their bond deposits. Bonds cannot be obtained beyond this except by purchases in the open market or by the surrender of de- posits of public mone: The present prices of bonds, both the old classes and the new twos, are not such as to encourage large purchases by the banks in the market with the expectation of a profit on circulation. Such changes as have occurred in th> de- posits of bonds in the treasury have con- sisted to a large extent of substitutions of one class of bonds for another and the de- posit of old bonds in order to take imme- diate advantage of the r2funding proposi- tion. The latter deposits have not been large enough as yet to justify the expecta- tion of a great increase in the circulation. The total bonds pl=dged to secure circu}a- tion stood on January 31 at $2% . The amount Saturday last was $245,210,070, or an increase of less than $10,000,000. There was little reason why banks pro- posing to increase their circulation under the new plan should not have purchased bonds of the old classes and depostt:d them in the treasury in anticipation of refunding. The fact that less than $10,000,000 In bonds have been so deposited does not indicate that further large sums will be depositod. Th2 bonds which are not covered hy the refunding law have been reduced a3 the basis of circulation, while those covered Ly the law have been increased. The must striking increase is in th 5 per cent bonds, where the amount pledged increased from $16,656,100 on January 31 to $23,775.50 on March 17. The new fours pledged for cir- fell during the same period from 750 to $14,066,850. Treasury Balance. The treasury cash balance has gone up by leaps and bounds during the present calendar year. Beginning at $133,595,453 on January following the present form of statement, the balance rose to $142,490,973 on February 1, $145, ‘2s on March 1, and finally to s 3 on Saturday last. The exc2ss of customs and internal revenue receipts over ordinary expenditures is the explana- tion of this great increase in treasury re- sources. This surplus will b> employed to pay the differences between face value and present worth on the bonds refunded until the cash balance begins to show signs of depletion. Secretary Gage will then upon the banks of public money in lots of 5 per cent time upon notice of ten days. ful if any of these notices are required, and one or two will probably b2 sufficient in any case. No Call for Deposits. The absence of neceesity for calling upon the national banks to surrender their hold- ings of public money will have a direct ef- fect on the increase of bank note circula- tion. Calls upen the banks for $30,000,000 of their deposits would have released about that amount of the bonds pledged for their security. The banks might then have trans- ferred these bonds to the circulation ac- count and added about $30,000,000 to the bank notes afloat. This will not occur under present conditions. The banks might sur- render deposits voluntarily and ure the bends for new circulation, and from some points of view this would be an advantage. The fact that the deposits Involve less ma- chinery and do not require the maintenance of a redemption fund offset some of the ad- vantages of the national bank notes in other respects. The fact that circulation cannot be reduced by the banks at will, be- cause of the $4,000,000 monthly limit for re- tiring circulation, is also a factor in the problem. Treasurer Roberts thinks that some banks will maintain circulation on the new bonds and simply lock ft up in their vaults during the dull season, because they can avoid the tax on circulation by so doing. From indications -most of the banks hold- ing public money are likeley to prefer to continue to hold it until called for, tnd the country banks seem to attach value to the prestige involved in announcing that they are depositaries of the United States. ——~--__. To Take § ies to Alaska. The steamer Columbia, recently pur- chased by the War Department for the Pacific transport service, has been renamed th Rosecranz in honor of the late Gen. Rosecranz. The vessel is to be used dur- ing the coming summer to transport sup- plies for the troops in Alaska and ma- terial for the erection of frame post. build- ings in that territory. When that work 4s concluded she will be put in the Philip- pine service. ——_+ ++ ‘Robbed of Her Parse. Mise Clara Bell, who lives at No. s01 Florida avenue northwest, was robbed cf her pocket book, containing $10, on the street this morning. She was near 8th and M streets about 9:45 o'clock, when a colored man snatched her pocket book. He soon disappeared, and complaint was made to the police. Miss Bell gave the police a good description of the robber. paige: RESIGNS HIS OFFICE. As lant Commissioner Greeley Re- tires to Engage in Business. Arthur P. Greeley, assistant commis- sioner of patents, resigned his position to- day. The resignation was sent to Commis- sioner RQuell and by him forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Greeley re- signs to embark in private business. For some time he has contemplated this move, the bright prospects of private prac- tice being a strong inducement against the paucity of the salary attached to the as- sistant commissionership. Mr. Greeley was born at Methuen, Mass., and is the son of Rev. Edward H. Greeley. For over a century the family has lived in New Hampshire. Mr. Greeley received his education in the public schools of New Hampshire and was graduated from the Concord High School in the class of 1876, and from Dartmouth College with the degree of A. B. in the class of 1883. He took the degree of LL. B. from the Colum- bian University of this city in 1886, and the degree of LL. M. in 1887. During the lat- ter year he was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia. In 1884 Mr. Greeley became connected with the patent office as assistant examiner. In 1801 he was made principal examiner, and in 1895 was hon- ored by receiving an appointment as ex- aminer-in-chief. This latter appointment was made strictly on merit by President Cleveland, as Mr. Greeley was a republl- can. He was confirmed by the Senate with- out opposition. In 1897, when Commissioner Butterworth took the helm of the patent office, he made a request for the appoint- ment of Mr. Greeley as assistant commis- sioner. Mr. Butterworth had known Mr. Greeley for several years in connection with patent office affairs, and was convinced of the desirability of the appointment. The selection was made and Mr. Greeley became aut commissioner. During his term of service he has contributed much to the success of the office and has handled many important cases. He directed with marked skill the fight of the patent office against the Wedderburn agency, which resulted in the disbarment of that company from prac- tice before the office. When Commissioner Butterworth died, Mr. Greeley, who had been acting commis stoner for some time. was strongly urged for the commissione he in- senators and the entire supp. patent bar. Mr. Greeley’s original appointment was the re- sult of high standing in the first examina- tion held under the present civil service law, and his promotion has been solely upon merit. As assistant examiner he had a varied experience, serving in many im- portant divisions, and always making a record for efficienc: a aid time and again that Mr. Greel the best- posted man on patent office matters in the country. Mr. Greeley has served upon many government commissions, and is at present engaged upon a compilation of the trade- mark laws for Congress. He has written several books on patent law, and his latest contribution on the trade-mark laws of the world has been accepted as a text book. -< COURTS. THE Equity Court . 1—Justice Hagner.

In the middle of the street ‘The populace expects— Our rulers, to derange us, Are bound to make more changes, So we may well be pardoned If we seem to be perplexed! The new order of things regarding the stopping of street cars went into operation yesterday, and the above verse was emitted by a man who forgot four times during the afternoon that cars were not stopping on the far side of the street any more. if anybedy who had been fooled in this way had perpetrated a poem, no matter how brief the combined versicles, would have made an epic longer than’ the common y. though perhaps, its matter would not been exactly in keeping with the moral New Order law. The general opinion expressed, however, conductors, inspectors and other street railway employes and officlais who are most directly responsible for trattic, as well as by a very large proportion of the public, was that the change was a de- sirable one. “If it will only be made permanent now that it has been put fn operation,” said an official, “it will be only a day or two before the public becomes familiar with it. I fear there may be an accident or two, however, caused by drivers of vehicles forgetting the change and driving across tracks in front ef a moving car.” This expectation was realtized about 11 o'clock this morning when a buggy, driven by Mr. A. L. Bliss, was struck while cross- ing the Metropolitan tracks at 15th and H streets by a west-bound Metropolitan car. This is the point where. passengers are transferred to and from the herdics. Mr. Bliss thinking the approaching car was going to stop on the east side of 1th street as formerly drove across the tracks, and the buggy was struck and demolished be- fore the motorman could stop the car. ‘The front of the car was also considerably dam- aged. by motormen a Hotel Arrival Raleigh—W.

Didn’t Want Much. ‘The pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Warren, Ill., has a daughter nearly 3 years of age, who is very particular about saying her prayers be- fore retiring each night. One evening last week her mother was detained from hearing her ptayers at the usual hour, and little Louise waited pa- tiently eome time. Finally patience ceased to be a virtze with her, and she climbed upon a chair, and, taking down the receiver of the telephone, shouted into it: 5 “Hello, Central: DIVE ME HEAVEN. I want to say my prayers. She was Ike some customers—they don’t want much, ’ Only the Earth. We get orders like this very often: “Please buy 5,000 wheat for me at the lowest point for the day, and sell It out at the highest point.” That sounds easy, doesn’t it; but {f we only knew what the low- est and highest points were going to be, even if only for one day, we wouldn't have to be In bus- ines any more. No, Dear. Friends, we are not Philanthropists, doing business for our health; the climate agrees With us, and our appetite was never better; but we want money.

From the Memphis Scimitar. “Oh, you knows me, boss; I'se been here afore.” This remark was addressed to Justice Frank Davis by a very black darky who drifted into the ‘squire’s office a few days ago, accompanied by a copper-colored n - gress. “We wants to git married,” said the ne- Bro, producing a license issued. by County Clerk Speed to-Judge Gill and Hattie Shipp. The ’squire unfolded*the marriage license, and the crowd in the office smacked the!r lips in anticipation of the treat that was to follow the knot tying, for it is the custom with some Memphis magistrates to always spend marriage fees over the bar. ‘When the marriage ceremony was con- cluded the newly made husband, instead of digging up the fee, ve the magistrate a broad grin and said: “Now, boss, I owes for two. You married me before, but I ain't forgot it, and I'll pay you for both when the pay train comes in.” Justice Davis took a good look at the darky, and recognized him as a railroad brakeman whom he had married to another ‘woman about two years before. The office crowd failed to get the treat, but Justice Davis told them he would make it two when “Judge” paid his fees, PERPETUAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION.
