WEEKLY AVERAGES OF CLEARING HOUSE * New York, January The statement of the clearing house banks for the five business days of this week, shows that the bank holds $517,000 over the legal Teserve requirements. This is a decrease of $3,721,576 from last week. The statement follows: Loans, $1,004,668,300: Increase, $3,633,300. Deposits, $983,742,800; Increase, $6,091,600. Circulation, $52,912,900; decrease, $183,100. Legal tenders, $79,170,700; Increase, $3, •470,900. Specie, $167,339,000: decrease, $5,669,600. Reserve, $246,506,700; decrease, $2,198,700. Reserve required, $245,935,700; increase, *1,522,876. Surplus, $571,000; decrease, $3,721,675. Ex. U. S. deposits, $2,676,750; decrease, *3,723,300. New York, January 6V—The Financier this week says: Last week’s official statement of the I New York associated banks was disap pointing in that it Indicated a loss Instead of the expected gain in cash and also be cause it disclosed an unusually low sur plus which It would appear might easily have been changed to deficiency, either through a greater loss of cash or an Increase In reserve requirements. The net decrease In cash reserve was $2,198,700, whereas all the estimates that were baaed on the traceable movements of money during the week showed an In crease of about this sum. The discrep ancy between the officially reported and the estimated changes In this Item, may have been due to receipts of money after the middle of the week, which were not fully reflected In the statement! because of the system of averages. It may be noted that specie decreased by $5,869,600, this was In great part ac counted for by the transfer of two mil lions to San Francisco and by the ship ment of a like amount to Mexico and South America, The legal tenders In creased by $3,470,900. Tills most likely represented the movements of currency hither from the Interior, resulting from the dear rates for money which prevail ed during the greater part of the week. The deposits Increased $6,091,500, which amount la so much greater than the sum of the expansion In loans, less than net decrease of cash, as to make a remarka bly bad proof. The required reserve against general deposits was increased $1,522,876, which added to the net loss of cash as above made $3,721,576 as the decrease In sur plus reserve to the remarkably low sum of $571,000. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $8,423,000 public funds, the surplus is $2,870,760. Loans were expand ed by $3,633,300. an amount larger than was thought probable because loan con tractions have been heavy during the week as the result of liquidation incident to the disbursement of January dividends and Interest.

SCIENTIST STUDIES T B ART OF SUICIDE CARBOLIC ACID IN AMERICA, 8TRYCHNINE IN ENGLAND, 8NAKE-BITES IN INDIA USED TO END EXIS1 ENCE. From the New York World. Prof. D’Orsay Pallle, member of an odd and little known scientific society in Paris, Soclete pour Rechercher lea Causes Phy chologlque da la Suicide (Society for the Investigation of the Psychological Causes of Suicide), and a fellow of a similar or ganisation In Vienna, will sail for Havre armed with a mass of statistics which he has gathered tn a three months' tour of the United States and which ended with an Inspection of the records of the Bureau of Vital Statistics In this city. Professor Pallle has devoted three years to an Investigation In different countries. His conclusion is that America now goes beyond France In proportion to popula tion in the number of cases of self-de struction. While he finds poverty and de spondency the principal causes, he be lieves the high tension under which utl classes live Is In the main responsible. "The most remarkable aspect that ap pealed to me," said Professor Pallle, "Is the method used In the majority of cases, and especially by women. You have more suicides In this country by carbollo acid than In France and Great Britain combined. Fewer women kill themselves by drowning than by any other means. That Is one of the favorite means em ployed by women In England, but nearly always in summer. In winter the favor ite method Is by hanging or by a swift poison, like strychnine or prussic acid. "While these toxic agents are much more difficult to obtain In England than In this country—almost Impossible, I might say—it Is a fact that self-sought death by poison Is Commoner tn large English cities and particularly In the •Black Country' than It Is here. The same Is true of France. More women shoot themselves and hang themselves In Ger many than In any other European coun try. Suicide by any method Is compara tively rare in Ireland and Is almost un known in the agricultural districts, Dub lin and other cities whose population ex ceeds 40,000 fumtsh the largest propor tion, but even in these centers the ratio Is far below the records of cities of the same size in other parts of the United Kingdom. "Sweden and Norway have fewer sui cides than any of the northern countries. In the Latin nations France leads. Italy comes next and Spain last, with poison as the favorite weapon, but nowhere Is carbolic acid used to the extent It Is In the United States. "In the course of my Investigations I have traveled through Asia, Africa, Aus tralia, China and Japan. The Ethiopian rarely ever takes his own life. The As iatic, speaking broadly, Is a fatalist, and It Is a curious fact that thousands of natives of India are predestined to kill themselves. In the Rhampoor district it is not Infrequent for the man who wants to die by his own hand to have himself bitten by a snake whose strike means speedy and certain death. There are families In Bombay and Calcutta who have had suicides through generations and Invariably by snake bite. "One of the curious things In connec tion with this inquiry Is that in the twenty thousand cases I have Inquired Into only four were by electricity, and this is all the more extraordinary when you consider that in every city In the world there exists the means to end life by that medium without expense and to be certain that death will be Instantan eous." Color in Men’s Clothes. From the Tailor and Cutter. No longer satisfied with the dreary black coat, men are at last beginning to adopt dothlng of bright color and vhid patterns. Especially Is this the case with sport ing men, owing to the fashion set by the King. During His Majesty's recent stay at Sandringham he adopted a very showy style of dress, consisting of a scarlet Tam-o’-Shanter, a drab Norfolk jacket and knickers, and brightly col ored hose. The efforts to relieve the sombreness of mens clothing have been specially directed toward the production of styl ish fancy vests, Particular attention has been paid to the buttons of these garments, the tailor and tho Jeweller having tried to outdo each other In the beauty of their productions. The latest development In this direc tion is the reproduction In miniature of famous works of art. such as the most beautiful female portraits by such artists as Gainsborough, Romney and others.

BIRMINGHAM HOUSE HIS NOBLE PEDIGREE Beausant Sprang from Kings of the Race Track TROTTING IN AMERICA History of Sport Is Somewhat Meagre But Sport Hardly Dates Back of Century Just Closed—Mes senger's Record. BY A. E. CAFFEE. "And panting Time tolled after him In | vain.” The love of the horse and rural life which distinguishes England Is America's natural heritage. The trotting horse : holds the first place in the popular love | for sport In America, while the running turf Is patronised largely by the wealth ier classes. The trotting horse Is the product of this country, for though this gait Is a natural one, and trotting races occurred In England and France, nnd In Russia the efforts of the noted Count Orloft have resulted in establishing a breed of trotting horses which have fine action and some speed, It is only In this country that the trotting gait has been brought to perfection. The Darwinian advocates may reason ably point to the trotting horse as an Illustration of their doctrine of evolu tion. He Is not a distinct breed or strain of horses, It Is true, yet a striking and wonderful Instance of what may be done by cultivating certain gaits or peculiari ties, and by careful selection of the best animals for breeding purposes. His very existence In this country hardly dates back of the century Just closed, as In the early periods of our history all the Imported horses were used exclusively for running purposes, and the ante-revolutionary races were all of that character. Horseback riding was the ] fashion for both ladies and gentlemen, j and the old weather-beaten siyne steps j still to be seen at the gray and moss- j covered gateways of many old-fashioned | country mansions In Virginia and Mary land testify to the equestrian and cava lier habits of the colonial era. Messenger the First. When In May. 1788, the noble gray stal lion Messenger dashed down the gangway of a ship from England, lying at the foot of Market street wharf, In Philadelphia, the history of the American trotting horse began. Messenger was a thorough bred English horse, foaled In 1780, and was Imported for running purposes and the Improvement of thoroughbreds In this country. Like Maecenas of classic renown, he was "descended from regal ancestors," for being by Mambrlno, the son of Engineer, he could trace his pedi gree through the famous Flying Childers directly back to the Daily Arabian, and on his dam's side he could boast of the Imperishable fame of Matchem, Regulus, Cade and the Godolphlan Arabian. He had run In Englajid with brilliant suc cess. As a testimony of his mighty cour age and spirit, a groom who saw him taken oft the ship was accustomed to re late that "the three other horses that accompanied him on the long sea voyage had become so reduced and weak that they had to be helped and supported down the gungplank; but not so with i the thoroughbred, for when It camo to Messenger's turn to land he. with a loud neigh, charged down, with a negro on each side holding him back, and dashert off up the street at a stiff trot, carry | Ing the negroes along In spite of their efforts to bring him to a standstill." Messenger sired Mambrlno, he sired Abdallah and Mambrlno Paymaster, and Abdallah sired Hambletonian 10, and Mambrlno Paymaster sired Mambrlno Chief— the two great fountain heads of the trotting speed of the world. Ninety per cent of the horses now on the trot ting turf contain the blood of old Mes senger In their veins. Hambletonian 10 has four separate strains of hie blood. The reader will bear In mind that Ilam bletonian 10 Is really the beginning of the wonderful strides about 1805 In the breeding of trotting horses. Nearly every trotter of note in the country Is a de scendant of Hambletonian through such famous sons as George Wilkes, Election eer and Harold, reinforced and strength ened by the hot blood of the thorough bred and of Pilot, Jr„ and a few other strains. Records Are Meagre, The records of the rise of the trotting turf In this country are few and meager, the earliest notices of any trotting matches being found In the American Farmer, edited by Hon. John 8. Skinner, published In 1818. The first sporting pa per published In America was a monthly called the American Turf Register, at Baltimore, September 1, 1829, devoted to the running turf. Porter's Spirit of the Times of December 20, 18G6, says: "The first time ever a horse trotted In public for a stake was In 1818, and that was a match against time for 81000. The match was proposed at a Jockey club dinner, and the bet was that no horse could he produced that could trot a mile In three minutes. It was accepted by MaJ, Wil liam Jones of Long Island nnd Colonel Bond of Maryland. The horse named at the post was Boston Blue, who won Piles Cured Suffering for Yeari, and Bed-Ridden From Piles, a Contractor of Marion, Indiana, Is Cured by Pyramid Pile Cure.

He was carried to England and won many long distance races.” When we consider that the three sons of Hambletonian 10—Electioneer, George Wilkes and Harold, and the daughters of Pilot, Jr. (Midnight and Miss Russell, etc.)—comprise the four great contribut ing strains that produced more than a thousand of the fastest and gamest race horses that ever lived, and champions of the turf, we must naturally view with the highest satisfaction and admiration a horse in whose pedigree is combined and blended in richest and most fruitful form the direct Mood of all four of these matchless progenitors of the most bril liant turf performers the world has ever known. I know of but one family of horses that can claim this distinguished honor,, and they are the colts and fillies foaled from the union of Howbells (son o£ Electioneer and Beautiful Bells) with Rosy Morn (daughter of Alcantara and Noontide, daughter of Harold and Mid night, by Pilot, Jr.) From this union of an equine king with a princess of the line sprung two colts that secured race records each of 2:06%, and two others with records below 2:20, and yet two others with race records belw 2:30, and a grandson (Uoralma) with a race rec ord of 2:07. Descendant in Birmingham. One of the regal sons of this royal cou ple with a race record of 2:06% is owned In the city of Birmingham. His name iH Beauseant, and he is owned by William H. Jones of this city. In point of breed ing and individual prowess this peerless horse Is as Raphael In perspective, Rosa Bonheur in the warmth of color, or the blind Homer in epic song. He is peer less and beyond comparison. I have seen nearly all the great turf performers of the past thirty years; I have long been a student of pedigrees and blood lines, and I doubt that this country contains a ^stallion combining the oualities of supreme merit found In beau^ul Beauseant—his impressive beau ty, royal breeding and marvelous speed. He has been more talked of and written about than any stallion of the present day, but I was charmed and enthused with Ills rar6 beauty and strength and evident courage when I first saw him, and it is my opinion that he can sweep any show ring In the world. Two cen turies of blood and breeding In this fine fellow have not failed of Its purpose, for upon him Is stamped in bold and ag gressive mien the bond and title of au tocrat of his tribe. Every lover of a beautiful, rarely bred horse of courage and phenomenal flight of speed should visit Birmingham and view the peerless race horse. Birming ham la to be congratulated. The breed ers of Alabama are enriched by the op portunities offered. ON THE RACE TRACK At City Park. New Orleans, January 6.—The Satur day crowd was somewhat augmented to day as a result of the delightful weather. The card was a good one of seven races. Including the "King Cotton" and an overnight handicap. The 8take feature was won by Bad News, the favorite, who was sharply ridden to beat Valley Forge, while the other handicap was won by Careless, a comparative outsider.
