NatIOnal'Banks; '
The National. Banks. of , the c.011ntry
are now in a position to render a'very .
important service to themselves and an
equally important service to the pub-
lic. True, the hitherto high price of
government bonds and their low rate
of interest give the banks little profit
on circulation, but they owe something
to the public and to the business of
the country, and had they strained a
point to make the National Bank cir-
culation as large as possible, we should
to-day be on a much sounder, as well
as easier, financial basis, and our bank-
ing system,_the best ever produced in
any country, "would not be imperiled,
or so harshly and perhaps unjustly
criticised. ,
A The National Banks of the country
could do much to re-inspire business
confidence if they all would at once
resolve to increase their circulation to
the full limit of the present laws.
Many 'of these banks in the country,
having a million and more capital, re-
port fifty thousand and less, circulation.
Such banks are not just to themselves,
and they are equally unjust to the busi-
ness public. _
Whenrgovernment’ 4s“ commanded a
premium of $30, there was some excuse
for retiring circulation, but now that
the same bonds command a premium of
less than 810, the banks should speedily
absorb them and issuecirculation for
them, - -
The NewYoi-k banks and some others
are leading ofi' in this important move-
ment with heroic vigor. The Fourth
N ational Bank of that city has arranged
for $2,000,000 additional circulation,
and the'Gallatiu National for $750,000
more. The Savings Banks hold a large
portion of government bonds, and are
inclined to sell to command ready mon-
‘ ray, and the'National Banks should ab-
sorb every national bond that can be
had at a reasonable price and thus en- ‘
large their issue of currency. They
could not embarrass themselves by the
purchase as the" bonds would furnish
nearly enough new money to pay for
them. - " 1 '
Our banking system is likely to be
upon trial before Congress, as it has
been for some time before the country.
It would be a national calamity to have
it overthrown or crippled in any ser-
ious way. but it is charged, the ‘bank‘s
themselves have been their own” worst
enemies, by failing to administer the
banking law in the interest of business.
The time has come when that error
should be corrected; and when the
banks could thus at once greatly lessen
the business strain with profit, or cer-
tainly without loss to themselves, and
vastly popularize the banking system
of the whole country, they should
promptly adopt the remedy by issuing
the largest possible amount of circu-
lation. , . . '

The South NorwallE-iPOIlceiaiso
Notified?
i”.
, Among the peculiar circumstances'r
connected with the death of Charles D._
Fuller, Jr., whose body .was found
floating ofi' Stratford light: Wednesday
evening last, and taken to Bridgeport,
is the fact that a few days after J my 27,
the time that the young man disappoar-
ed, Mr. Fuller, Sr., had death notices‘
inserted in some of the New York
morning newspapers. . These notices;
saidthat Charles D. Fuller”, Jr., was-
supposed to have been drowned in the
Sound. "It was wondered at his home
in MOrristown, N. J., how the death
notices came to appear in the absence
of positive proof of the young man’s
eat . ' '
Another strange circumstance in
connection with this peculiar. case, oc-
curred on Sunday, July 29, when the
young son of Dr. Willard Parker, who
has a cottage at Tavern Island, reported
to the South Norwalk police that a
man had fallen from a vessel about a
mile out from thelight-house Thurs-
day night and drowned. He did not
give any particulars of the case, Wheth-
er he‘knew the man’s name, how the
accident occurred, an whether the
'_cht, but made
arrangements. with U ertaker_,Greg-
cry to take charge of the body in case
it was found. , .' ,
It was given out by relatives that
young Fuller was a sonambulist and
had walked off the st,'amboat in his
sleep. How they km; that he had
done so is shrouded in. mystery, as is
the information impart. d to the South
N orwalk police by young Parker. The
statement made by Parker that Fuller
had fallen from‘ a vessel about a mile
out from the light-house seems strange
in view of the fact that the body was
found floating ofi' Stratford light,
although it could have been carried
that distance by the tide. It would
seem from all the facts that young
Parker knows more of the particulars
of Fuller’s drowning than has as yet
been told. " ‘ ' '
Agent Scott, of the New York Steam-
boat company, says none of the officers
of the Richard Peck knew anything
about having. lost a pasfinger from ther'
beat until friends of young Fuller be-
gan making inquiries about him. He
said that those who made inquiry of
him seemed to know all about the case.
He learned from them that a pistol
shot had been fired. on the boat, and,
that someone had jumped overboard.
Then Captain Hardy began inquiries
and learned from a deckhand that the
latter had heard what he thought was a
pistol shotonsthe night on which the
young man is said to' have been lost.
The deckhand hastened to the part of
the boat——a secluded part of the upper
deck—from which the sound seemed to
have come, but he found nobody and
saw no one overboard.-
Agent Scott said he came to the be-
lief that the- young man had notified
hisrelatives of'his intention to take-
passage on .the' Peck and kill himself,
but this is positively denied bygthe
family. Mr. Fuller, Sr., when his son
did not return on July- 27, made in-
quiries at the office of the steamboat
company and learned that on the night
before Charles was due in New York
a deckhand on the Peck found a young
man answering 'oung Fuller’s descrip-
tion sitting on he deck. It was, after
2 o’clock, and in violation of the rules
of the boat. The deckhand went to
report the matter to the captain, and
when he returned to the deck the man
was missing.

Cut His; Throat While Desnondent.
James Tracy, 40, of New Haven, cut
his throat Sunday afternoon during a
fit of despondency. He had been out
Of work for some time and was discour-
aged. About.2:30 in the afternoon he
went to his room, and taking his razor
from a drawer, he stood before a mir-
ror and drew it across his throat. He
then walked out and fell bleeding on
the floor. _ His Wife’s screams attracted
neighbors and an ambulance was sum-
moned. He was taken to the hospital
in a dying"condition and is barely alive,
with a very small chance of recovery.
It was found that the razor had been
slashed across the.front,of the throat,
cutting the wind pipe and several large
veins. He has been despondent and at
times slightly demented for several
days. He has a wife. .

Served Hlm Right.
The Hartford Courant of Saturday
reports that a Danielsonville man went
to a Putnam bank one day recently
and drew out his money due him,
amounting to $1,300, and was paid in
silver dollars. They were placed in a
bag and weighed nearly 100 pounds.
He carried the load home on his back.
A somewhat similar case is reported
to have occurred in town. The story
runs that a Chestnut'Hill farmer came
to the Fairfleld County bank on Friday
and desired currency on. a 8662 check
on a New York bank. The cashier po-‘
litel informed-the :party that usually
the ankhad been able to cash all such
checks without inconvenience, but that
was impossible to thus accommodate
any but depositors and regular custom-
ers; that he should 'go to the bank
where he kept his deposits, for the bills
he desired. To this the party replied
count anywhere, although reputed to“
be the wealthiest money lender in the
town of Wilton. It was explained to
him that it would be unjust to the '
bank’s depositors to pay out currency
to outsrders, when it was so difficult to
fully supply the wants of its customers.
To this Chestnut Hill, who is reputed
to be up to financial ways that are
sharp and tricks that are the. same,
asked if he could get bills as he wanted
the deposit of his New York check,
and draw therefrom betiines. With
possible visions of a new and plethoric
deposit account Cashier Green with his
blandest smile replied, “ Why, certain-
ly.” The New York check was then
passed through the wicker,_a bank de-
posit book dul made out and handed
to Chestnut Hi 1, who pocketed it, with
a sinister smile illuminating his sorrel
countenance.
Early next day, Saturday, a youn
man presented himself before the ban
teller, with a check duly made out and
signed by Chestnut Hill for the entire
amount of the previous afternoon’s de-
posit and requesting payment thereon.
A_' hurried consultationtook place be-
hind the bank screens, when the cash-
where the party was who had sent in
the check. “ 0h, he is standing out-
side,” quoth the lad. “ He sent me in
to get the money and bring it to him.”
canvas bag, containing 1,000 bright sil-
ver dollars of the dads, was instantly
the paying teller’s’desk, and in less
time than it takes to tell it, six hun-
dred and sixty-two—of them, or nearly
a peck measure full, were shoved out
before the astonished lad. “Mr. Fi—
(Chestnut Hill) don’t want silver, he
wantsbills, .” stammered the lad. “Sorry
but can’t help it,” replied the ever
courteous teller. “ We haven’t ‘the
bills that we can spare, and the check
is paid and cancelled and .theaccount
closed, tell Mr. Fi—,,(Chestnut Hill
please.” “But how in the world can
carry all these dollars out to the wagon?”
persisted the perplexed messenger.
“Oh, tie them up in your handker-
chief; put them in your hat ; take out
a hundred pounds or so at. a time and
then come back for the rest; any way
to, get them there; but please hurry
and dont’ block the passage for our
customers ; good. day.”
_The next seen of Chestnut Hill was
his appearance at the Central National
bank, with great bulges projecting from
his coat, vest and pants, like huge tu-
mors upon chest, sides and abdomen,
Where he was overheard implering the
oflicials'of that bank to exchange his
silver dollars for bills of any denomi-
nation. Being told that the bank was
short of bills but had more silver al-
ready than it could use, and that silver
was a nuisance anyway and every bank
more than glad to get rid of it, Chest-
nut Hill mounted his vehicle and start-
ed for his airy and showy residence, a
Wiser but a sadder man, and every one
who has heard the story which has
overspread the town, joins the univers-
al refrain—“ served him right.” ..
But more seriously, is there not an
element of the gravest danger, in times
like the present, when the countr is
filled with tramps, thieves, burg ars
and cut-throats, any one of .Whom
would murder for ten dollars, for any
man to keep in his house or about his
person, money of any considerable
amount ? Especially is'the danger in-
creased by persons taking money out
of the banks for the purposes of hoard-
ing, who hve in remote and unprotect-
edneighborhoods in- the country. A
reputation of‘such folly is sure to fol-
low such action and is a special incen-
tive to the criminal classes =to perpe-
trate crime and robbery. Ergo, keep
your money in banks if you have any.

An Explanation. ’
EDITOR GAznrrn :—Your article. in ’
Saturday’s. issue contains a few mist.
takes which I trust ou will allow me
to rectify. The chil ren unaffected by
the diseasewere ' not removed to the
home of their grandmother‘ on Main
street by my advice, as‘I ordered them
to be placed in an upstairs apartment
away from the sick child. ' I afteIWards '
learned that they had been remOVed to ’
their grandmother’s, and on ,. cing
there found two of them afi‘ecte 'with
the disease. These I ordered to be
taken back to their home on Clark
street. I regret very much'that you
misunderstood me in reference to my
purchase of disinfectants and medicine.
attributing it and my attendance as an ‘
act of charity. I meant'that the disin-
fecting should be done by the Board Of
Health,as I consider it one of ' the chief
objects of their existence and therefore
should not be left for the physician‘or
family.
