MONEY TO BURN.
“A run on a bank is a funny thing,”
said the old banker, who was m a
reminiscent mood. “They will start
without the slightest cause, and you
never know when to expect them.
It may be only a rumor, it may lie in
the air, and the deed is done. Many
a good bank has gone to the wall
simply because there was no way to
know that a run was in prospect, and
there are times wh?n the soundest
bank in the world could not stand an
unexpected run.'
“A number of years ago, when 1
was a young man, I was cashier of a
bank in the interior of the State. The
bank was in good condition and per
fectly sound, and we did not dream
that our credit would be questioned.
But one day a run was started with
out warning, and inside of two hours
there was a howling inob around the
bank, and we realized that we had a
serious situation to face.
“It was simply impossible for us to
meet a'.l the demands, but 1 paid out
the iunds that we had on hand,
knowing full well that it was a q es
tiou of only a few miuutes when we
would be obliged to close.
“Tinally the president of the bank
came to me and said in a low voice:
“How much longer can we hold
out?”
“Not over ten minutes,” I answer

“That move saved the bank. The
man to whom at that moment I was
handing his balance gasped ° 1 and then,
shoving the money back, said he
would leave it. It was the turn of t.,«

even lose the $10 bill, as the presi

OUR IV VNHINGTOX LETTER.
Director Merriain, of the Census,
lias put forth a guess, which he is
("ireful to state is unofficial, that the
population of the country will prove
to be about 76,000,000. Ho obtains
this estimate by multiplying the
number of enumeration districts In
the average number thus far shown
to be included hi each district This
though a somewhat rough approxi
nation, is likely to be tolerably ac
cm ate. llis estimate, if it proves
touect, will be a great disappoint
mvnt to the statisticians and calcuia
tors who for a year or two past have
been claiming the census enmncia
tion for 1900 would show a popnl::
t ion of 80,000,000, or even u, excess
of this figure. For fifty years or more,
elaborate and carefully prepared
var.ee estimates have been made of
the total number of people in the
United Stales at each incoming do
cade, and in scarcely any instance
any, have these sta'istms been found
to be anywhere near accnra-.c. IVesi
dent Lincoin was one of those wh".
many years ago, undertook to f. u'e
cast the probable future populauo
of the country, in his second .annual
messago to 'Congress, .Mr. Lincoln, in
advocating payment f. r freeing the
slaves, suggested that the burden
payment coulee distributed through
a long,term of years and argued that
the steady inereaim of population
\«T*lfRHeSiU»tr•I’h#of *
moot. The census of 186(1 showed a
population of 81,443,79u. Mr. Um
coin figured up the prolmhle increase
for each decade down to 19179, when
lie placed the population at 103,208,
415. As the figures now 'show, he
was only about 27,000,009 out of the
way. He was so pleased with his
calcelations, however, that he went
on until 1930, when he reckoned the
population at 251,680,914. He will
be much more out of the way then
than he is now. He was,
not much further wrong than was

that the pension list of ihe country
won <1 never cost more than $25,000,
000 a year, whereas it is now $145,
7
000,000 and still growing.
As a usual thing, September is
known in journalistic circles as the
silly season the time when real
news is slack and all soits of silty
discussions and fakes are perpetrated
on the confiding public. It was hoped
however, in view of the campaign
and the various wars now in progress
that this September would pass with
out such unhappy fame. But such
was not to be and as was the case
almost exactly two year- ago, Lieu
tenant Hobson is the victim In an
intend w on his return from the
Pln'ippiftpH, he stated that the Span
ish ships at Manila had been sunk by
their own officers and were little
damaged by American shot below
the water line. Nobody has ever
quesioned this fact, and tt has been
repeatedly stat'd in official reports.
The American tire compelled the
Spanish to leave their ships and they
opened the water valves and sunk
them on leaving, which was the ob
vio;:s tiling to do. If Mr. Hobson’s
interview bad been with anyone else
had Irecu published 1 at ativ other
