The fee resulted in an attack on the management by many people. The Federated Trades passed resolutions of censure and others denounced the trus- tees.

These irs liad of late been going through their night’s sleep at the Panopticon, in the zarian capital, a periormance for rich they were paid £4 a day. Forsome time they had been under the suspicion of . being impostors. In order to put the mat- ter to the test, the proprietorof the Panop- ticon, oa Friday evening, conccaled two men among *he wax figures to watch the fakirs when everybody else had leit, and the hall was closad for the night. Presently the fakir, Bend Send Pratapa, rose in his glass coffin and took a bottle of mikk and some provisions from under his pillow and, aiter eating and drinking, Tighted a cigarette. The two watchmen ‘rushed up to him and gave an alarm. The fakir tried to justify nimself by saying thkat he thought he had a'ready cumplem‘i his fortnight’s sleep. The proprietor re- . qhested ti:e police to arrest the two fakirs, whom he considers himself to have been cheated. The police have not yet .acceded to his request. but are havine the performers watched. Some of the P:sth = papers, however, think it is premature to think of unmasking an impostor, because the fakir in gquestion was not put to sleep - by Professor Fricker,who returned to Eng- land three weeks ago. 2 - What Could He Expect? About five years ago, in the vicinity of Billingszate ‘Market, there was a cook- shop wnich was generally patronized by costermongers of the lowest class, who re- ceived a marvelous basin of soup in the: wirter for the small sum of one penny. There was only one thing the snopkeeper had to complain of, and that was being infested with miee. One day when he was not in the very @t of humor a rough-looking coster me running up to the counter and, hold- ir\& up a good-size mouse by the 1ail, ex- cliNmed : *Look “cre, guvnor, I found a bloomin’ great mouse in my soup!"” “Well, what of it?’ bawled out the en- raged soup man. “What d’yer expect for ver penny—a bullock ?"—Spare Moments. 4 expenses of main- | n the erection and main- | NEW TO-DA' RY GOOD: 19 AND NOW TO BUSINESS! { improvements cost | COLORED DRESS GOODS.

Financial Conditions Have Im-| proved Since McKinley’s Election AND CONFIDENCE IS RESTORED Times Were Hard B:cause It Was| Feared That Bryan Had a Chance to Win. San Francisco financial institutions have feit the beneficial effects of the elec- tion of Major McKinley and ncne have realized this favorable state of affairs so | much as the savings banks. Just before the election it was a com- mon thing to see rows of men and women | at the wirdows of the paying tellers of the various savings banks waiting for a chance to draw out their goid. Now the current | bas changed, and the receiving tellers bavezll they cando to handle the beauti- ful yellow boys that are pouring in on them. B. A. Becker, president of the German Savings Bank, yesterday expressed the feelings of the financiers of the City touching the effect which the result of the recent election had on the material inter- **You see that all the officers of our bank wear smiling faces,” said Mr. Becker, and the assemblage of gentlemen present at the Saturday afternoon consuitation by their looks confirmed the president’s re- marks, ‘““We feel that the people of the country have made a wise decision, and the occurrences of the past few days have | ourselves as we did for Mr. McKinley's | election, but we did not lonk borne usout in this cpinion. So long as ! there was a chance for Mr. Bryan to win people feared to invest their funds in any | kind of bu-iness. That was what made times hard. **The election took place on the 3d, and on the 4th the people manifested the im- provement in_ their feelings. In fact, financial confilence returnea simuita- neously with the returns that_indicated the election of McKinley. As I said, on the morning after election, the people began 1o come in with their deposits, on the 5th it was better, on the 6th there was u still further improvement, and to-day, | the 7th, has been the best of ail. *‘We, who were on the right side, and all who thoughtas we do, expected an | improvement in the financial condition, of course, or we wonld not have exerted | r 50 sudden ana complete a revolution in business affairs. *‘The unsettled conditions that prevailed before the election, brought on by he fear that Mr. Bryan might possibly be elected, will speedily give way toa better feeling in all departments of financial operations. This, of course, will make the money market easier, and every branch of business will feel the impetus of a full | supply of capital for carrying on legiti- mate commercial undertakings.” Other members of the bank’s directorate expressed similar opinions. President E. J. Le Breton of the French | gs Bunk was in a bappy mood. *I spent »1x hard weeks working for McKin- ley and some of the municipal nominees, whose eiection I considered of importance to the community,” said Mr. Lo Breton. ““Well, we were successful and ought to be satisfied. 1forone am content with the result. “The restoration of confidence was of | primal importance and McKinley’s elec- tion brought this aboat in short order. | The improved conditions are felt in every department of business, and of course the savings banks are the change for the better.” At the Hibernia Savings Bank and the other savings banks of the City where ob- servations were taken by reporters yester- day 1t was noted that the depositors were numerous, while those who were seeking to withdraw their funds were relatively few. Among the managers of the commercial bank« a like gratification is expressed on account of the result of the election and the effect it has had on the business con- ditions of the community. ’xirsl to notice this } A gold coin passes from one to another 2,000,000,000 times before the starp or im- pression upon it becomes obliterated by friction, while « silver coin changes be- tween 3,250,000,000 times before it becomes ewntirely defaced.

Bishops Leonard and Nichols to Visit the Northern District. NEW JAPANESE MISSION HERE Comment on the Election cf a Jewish Lord Mayor of London, England. By a mutual understanding Bishop Leonard of Nevada and Utah and Bishop Nicnois of California will make needed visitations in the northern jurisdiction. Rev. Charles A. Hamilton of New York City has been called to Christ Church of Sausalito and has accepted the call. Mr., and Mrs. Hamilton are expected early | next month. 1t is intended that the choir of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine should be inclosed in temporary walls, which will answer for use until the final cathedral walls are built. With this arrangement it is hoped that the choir can be used within about two years’ time for religious ser- vices. Bishop Thoburn, who reached this country in April, says that when he re- turns to India abvut a month hence he will find 10,000 Christians who were wor- shiping idols when he came away. “And if I had $40,000,”’ he adds, *‘f couid insure the conversion 0f 100,000 before the open- ing of the new century.’’ Bishop Joyce, writing from Tientsi; China, under_ date of August 31, say: “The year in Korea Mission has been a successful one. The number of members | remarkable gatherings this great organi- and probationers has been nearly doubled during the year. In 1895 the number re- poried was 410 and this year 817.” St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral in Salt Lake City is steadily carrying on its work in the metropolis of Mormonism. Last January Rev. James B.

Phillips, as Lord Mayor of London, is an event worthy of notice, says the He- brew. Not that the office is in’ itself of so much consequence. But the point deserv- ing attention &s showing the progress of reigious liberty is that thisoffice of honor, sorrounded with dienities and privileges such as the British so much cherish, should now so often have been held by Hebrews, and even lately by a Catholic. A reception is to be tendered Rev. W. A.

ON THE EDGE OF A BOOM. The Hawaiian Bonds to Be Takea at 4 Per Cent and the D:bt Refunded. Hon. P. C. Jones of Hawaii, who was a | member of Queen Liliuokalani’s last Cabi- net, afterward Minister of Finance under the Dole Government, and now one of the Council of State, is at the Occidental. Mr. Jones went East some months ago with the view of placing $3.000,000 worth i of Government bonds at 4 per cent inter- | est. The Government had been paying 6 per cent, and it was proposed torefund the debt, so that the new arrangement could | be made, as Eastern parties stood ready to_take the bonds. When Mr. Jones arrived, however, he found such excitemeat over the pending | n}l;clion tha t nobody wouldinvest in any | thing. "Iglound it impossible,”’ said he, “to ac- complish anything whatever. It was use- less to try, and as a matterof fact I only did try it with one man. Then I pave it up. In New York, Boston and Philadel- | phia not a capitalist would touch any- thing. Massachusetts gold bonds had to be placed in London. “The people on the Atlantic seaboard were hoarding gold. There was such a stringency that no one would listen to anything. “‘But now that the National election is over, it is a different thing, and I am assured that the bonds will be taken soon. My own opinion is now that weare on | theedce of a great boom. Large orders were given to manufacturers conditional on ihe election of Mr. McKinley, and | now that he is elected these orders will be tillea. I was in New York when the parade of 135,000 men occurred, in which each man wore a gold bug bir enough to be seen across the street. It was an im- posing scene. ‘“*Speaking of the gold bugs reminds me _of when, some time before the election, a manufacturer went to his men and told them that if they could think of any way the factory could run they could go ahead and make all they could out of it. One of them thought of these gald bugs and the men turned to and manufactured them till they had made $25,000. It wasa very. lucky thing for them. T always felt ihat California would vote right in this election. I am satistied now that times will not on!y speedily be- come prosperous, but that we shall have such a period of prosperity as perhaps we havenot known in many years." Mr. Jones will sail on Tuesday on the steamer Australia for home. Eastern Ignorance of the West.

After a long life of activ: v, with countless trips to Europe and else- where, it is only within the last three or four years that he has penetrated farther west than Chicago. and only this Yyear that he has ventured beyond Denver, which is itself but a trifle farther than Dnalf-way across the continent.
