Van- { derbilt, Willlam K. Vanderbiit The only difference between the situ- ation then and now was that George Van- and Frederick W. Vanderbilt to- | derbilt was a stockholder in the Metro- day deposited $509,000 in a New | politan Savings Bank, having become in- York bank, subject to order of Charles McNamee, their legal ad- viser and representative, who is now here. This money will be used in paying in full the depositors of the Metropolitan Bank, | which suspended on November 19. This generous action on the part of the| Vanderbilts results from a desire to keep the family name spotless in the business | world. They had neither legal nor moral responsibility in the Metropolitan Bank fatiure. Their only connection with it lay in the fact that it was managed by Philip Venderbilt Caesar and Jacob Vanderbilt, third and second cousins of the men who to-day advanced a half million dollars to pay off depositors. In May, 1898, George W. Vanderbilt per- sonally advanced $500,000 under almost similar circumstances to liquidate the Metropolitan Savings Bank. He took the assets and has since realized something upon them, leaving his net loss about 300,000 POSTUM CEREAL.

PLANG FERSTS FOR EPIGURES Montana Man . Proposes to Raise Thousands of Trout. Legal Technicality Will Be Overcome by a Private Pond. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. HELENA, Mont., Dec. 2L—Epicures claim that no greater delicacy can be fcund under the sun than Montana moun- tain trout. When Michael Kerchner of Victor perfects all the arrangements now urder way he will be able to evade a technicality of the law and provide a sup- ply of trout for all the markets of the country. The game and fish laws of all the mountain States provide a penalty for the selling of trout caught in any public stream; but fish taken from private pcnds may be disposed of as the owner wills. Kerchner has no less a project un- der way than the construction of an im- mernse private fish hatchery and catchery, by means of which he can place hundreds of thousands of speckled beauties in eastern and western markets eyery year. Tne ponds are all constructed and stocked with 25,000 trout, but this, Kerchner says, i3 too small a number to begin with in a commercial way. Kerchner gives the fol- lowing interesting details of the business, which he says ‘beats ranchin’ all hol- “The 25,000 trout we now have on hand are of three sizes—two, three and four years old. They are considered about right for the market when they are three years old. We have been promised & large sup- ply of eggs from the Government hatch- eries in the spring. We will not enter the market with them until we have two or three hunéred thousand on hand. “Perhaps you don’t know that trout are cannibals' among their kind. They 1rey upon each other’s eggs ahd devour the small fry. It is therefore necessary 1o take the eggs from the fish and to keep ell the fish of one age by themselves. ‘When they get ready to spawn, trout, like salmon, run to shallow water. We have provided such a spawning bed for them. It is estimated that, in natural streams, &t least 9 per cent of the eggs are de- stroyed. We expect, with care and dill- gence, to save at least 9 per cent.” Holiday Publication. The Christmas edition of The Raven has just been issued. It contains: “The Christmas Message,” H.

The liquidation of the old bank and the krowledge that these men were connected with the Vanderbilt family inspired public confidence to such an extent that they did a large business from the start, consider- | ins that the bank had a capital of only $52,000, of which $30,000 was paid up. Early in November it had deposits of nearly Depositors Start a “Run.” At that time the Natlonal Exchange Bank of New York sued for a receiver- | ship for the remaining assets of the old Metropolitan Savings Bank, claiming to be dissatisfied with the settlement offered by George W.

His report, together with the recommenda- tion that the money be advanced to pay all depositors, was forwarded by mail, reaching New York two days ago. George W. Vanderbilt considered that it would be unfair for him to stand the loss en- tirely alone and presented the matter to Willlam K. and Frederick W. Vanderbilt, with the result that they voluntarily of- fered to aid in advancing the necessary money. McNamee recefved a telegram this afternoon announcing that the neces- sary money had been deposited in New York, subject to his order. Price of Spotless Name. The amount advanced to-day, together with that pald by George W.

The assets of the new bank are valued at about $200,000, which will leave a net loss, after settling' the affairs of both institutions, of about The new bank had 3200 depositors, most of whom were working people. The bank failure had greatly affected Christmas trade and there was great rejolcing in Tacoma to-night over this second act of wholesale generosity on the part of Vanderbilt family.

ADVERTISEMENTS. A FEW REASONS Which Are Rapidly Making a New Catarrh Cure Famous. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, the new Ca- || tarrh cure, has the following advantages over other catarrh remedies: First: These tablets contain no co- caine, morphine or any other injurious drug and are as safe and beneficial for Children as for adults; this is an import- ant point when it is recalled that many catarrh remedies do contain these very objectionable ingredients. Next: Being in tablet form this rem- edy does not deteriorate with age or an exposure to_the air, as liquid preparations invariably_do. ‘Next: The tablet form not only pre- ves the medicinal properties, but it is §§rtar more convenient to carry and to use at any time that it is only a question of time when the tablet will entirely su- Dersede liquid medicines as it has al- Peady done in the medical department of nited States army. Next: No secret is made of the compo- sition of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets; they contain the active principles of Kucalyp- o bark, red gum, blood root and Hy- e stin, all harmless antiseptics, which, however, are death to catarrhal .germs wherever found, because they eliminato them from the blood. Next: You can not cure catarrh by lo- cal applications to the nose and. throat, S atse these are simply local symptoms Bnd such treatment can not - poustbly reach the real seat of catarrhal disease, which is in the blood; for this reason, in- halers, douches, sprays and powders ne er really cure catarrh, but simply give femporary relief. which a dose of piain salt and water will do just as well. Catarrh must be driven out of the sys- tem, out of the blood, by an internal remedy because an internal remedy is the only kind which can be assimilated into the bl0Od Catarrh Tablets do this better the old form of treatment because tg:;'l contain every safe specific known to modern science In the antiseptic form of isease. e e fhe use of inhalers, ana spray- ing apparatuses, besides being ineffective and disappointing, is expensive, while a complete treatment of Stuart's Catarrh Tanet- can be had at any drug store 13 cents, JOE ROSENBERG'S. | ‘What Woman Docs Not Wish to Appear Well and Fashionably Gowned ?
