Oi insane lias been noted at New Orleans.
1 ne coroner reports an average of fifty
mental wrecks a month during the last
yoar. Onlj- ten Mims were handled dur

were more males, two to one, and just
the opposite among the negroes. ’I he
cocaine habit caused the greatest number
of cases among the latter.
Next Move in Education.
A general diffusion of the social ideal
of cooperation and goodwill in the daily
life of the public school comprises the
next logical move of education according
to Henry Turner Bailey, of The Journal
of Education. He points out how here
to 1 ore the idea of one pupil’s helping an
other lias been regarded as a crime, and
to help one's teacher a disgrace. Already
in some schools this new spirit has taken
shape by having the children correct
each others work, dictate lessons, etc.,
the quicker ones helping the slower. In
one grade the children get out the spell
ing papers for another. Children of the
i seventh grade make with jacknife and
s'i'.iai.. the wooden backs needed tor the
fraction discs of the fourth. Thug an
atmosphere of mutual helpfulness and
cooperalimi inspirits the whole life of
the school.

Professor A. W. Gocnispeed, of the
UntvefL-i.tr of Pennlsyl vania, exhibited
before tho American Philosophical So
ciety at Philadelphia May 16 photographs
taken by rays of light eminating from
his own hand. He has discovered that
these hitherto unknown rays eminato
from all hum.m bodies, although they are
not sufficient to be appreciated by the
Iranian eye. While a Crooke's tube was
used in the experiments to exagerate the
wave conditions the x-rays were not

THE FORT RECEIPTS CONTEST.
Checks Have All Been Mailed to the
Prize Winners.
I’he clerical work connected with the
decision of tho Port Receipts Contest
has been completed and checks have been
mailed to all parties who are entitled to
receive them. It was not a. small work
to prepare the vouchers and draw’ the
checks and cheek everything up pnoperly
for each successful contestant. It In
volved the searching of the list a
number of times, correcting addresses,
initials and other details that had been
overlooked in the first work and in the
printed list of successful contestants.
All who have received their checks
are requested to sign and return at once
the voucher that aacompanied the check.
The voucher must not bo mutilated or de
faced in any way, but Is simply’ to be
dated, signed and sent back so our cashier
may lile it as his final record of tho trans
action. Tho vouchers were numbered
from one straight tnrough for the entire
nvml.er issued i n the contest and we hope
within a month io have a complete num
bered file duly receipted and dated, show
ing that every one lias received his due
share of the money distributed.
Wo had hoped to bo able to announce
tho result of the agents’ contest In thfs
issue, but find that there are some of
tho smaller prizes still to be decided In
that contest and wo deferred the publica
tion for another w<ek This contest was
a very important one and the work done
in it was very much appreciated and will
be duly rewarded. We trust our agents
know' The Constitution well enough not
to become impatient because the clerical
work of the ether contest lias kept our
office force so engaged that the details
of the announcement of tho agents’ con
test could not be arranged.

WESTERN Ei'NION WIRES GONE
Along the Linen of the Pennsylvasia
Railroad System.
Philadelphia. May 22.—The Western
Union Telegraph Company has not a

REFER SOLDI ER GETS PAY.
But Hermit of Tybee Will Not Sign
Voucher.
Washington, May 21.---Tho identity of
tho soldier who is suffering from leprosy
at an isolation camp in Georgia, but
whose name has so far not been made
public, was disclosed today by the action
of the comptroller of the treasury, who
passed upon a question connected with
the drawing of the soldiers’ pay without
signing vouchers for the same. The sol
dier's name Is Charles C. Mix, first ser
geant In the fifth company of the coast
artillery corps. Mix is now- in a hosplta*
at Eort Screven. Tybee Island, Georgia.
In view of the fact that it would not be
safe fur Mix to sign pay vouchers, the
war d< partment. asked whether wrltt'n
authority would be necessary to draw the
soldier's pa" and disburse it according
to his direction. The comptroller held
that, the secretary was authorized to
make a. regulation which would meet tho
case,

Hearts Content.
There Is an isle far over troublous seas.
Above whose valleys bluest skies are
bent,
Where sweetest flowers perfume the
pleasant leas—
Men call it Heart's Content!
Anil every prow that rides the sea of
life
To that dear, distant isle Is turned for
aye.
Through treacherous calms and stormy
shoals of strife,
Holding its doubtful way.
Off in the midmost ocean barque meets
barque,
AiM as they pass from each the. chal
lenge sent
Comes back tho same across the waters
dark,
"We steer for Heart's Content!"
For nvinx an isle there is so like, so
like
Th-' mystic goal of all that travail
sore,
That oft the wave-worn keels on strange
sands strike.
And find un alien shore.
But ever, as the anchor drops, and sails
From off the storm-strained yards are
all unbent:
From tho tall masthead still the watcher
hails,
“I/O, yonder! Heart’s Content!"
And so once more the prow is seaward
set;
Hearts still hope on tho' waves roll dark
around;
And on the stern men write the name
“Regret,”
And fare forth, outward bound.
BARTON GREY.
Bradstreet’s Review.
New York. May 22.—Bradstreet's tomor
row will say;
"While underlying conditions have im
proved as a whole, there is still room for
betterment in weather, crop and labor
matters. Retail trade has been stimu
lated by summer weather, but wholesale
business halts, pending further develop
ments affecting fall trade. Collections
have improved at a number of large
cities. Railway earnings are as good as
ever reported. Gross reports for the
first half of May indicate a 14 per cent,
increase over last year, while returns
for March show’ the significant increase
of 18 per cent in net on a corresponding
increase in gross.
“Iron is dropping, largely because buy
ers are holding off on future purchases.
Stocks do not accumulate, however, and
consumers are insistent for deliveries
on other orders. Some of tho less favor
ably situated trades are lumber, which
notes the effect of building trade labor
troubles; silk manufaeturing at Paterson,
■which is slack at present, and men's
wear woolens, which are still halting as
regards fall orders. Cotton manufactur
ing goods In western markets have been
marked up in price. New business is
small with the mills, but jobbers and re
tailers are making money because of
active retail demand.
Business failures during the week 155,
against 152 in the same week of 1902.”
MARKET OUOTmoIIS
New York. May 23.—The subsiding ten
dency of sp.eculation in the cotton mar
ket noted here yesterday was rellei ted in*
Liverpool this morning, where price
changes wore narrow, that market clos
ing unchanged to 2 points lower. This
was if anything under < xpectations and
with the weather again favorable, port
receipts still running heavy and accounts
from tlie dry goods trade no more fa
vorable, the regul itlon market influences
apparently favored the bears. The mar
ket opened at a decline of :tijn> points on
the list, generally, while May still dom
inated by its speculative position, was
very quiet, and there S'"inyd little dis
position to sell at the decline. After a
brief interval of irregularity the bull lead
ers bought moderately and rallied prices
to about last night's finals.
During the later trading prices contin
ued to show a generally upward tendency
tinder supporting orders and some Euro
pean buying, wldle ware hottses reported
southern business on the advance. Specu
lation continud comparatively quiet, how
ever. July selling up to 11. M. August 10.1’2
and September to 9._Sl.
Toward tho close tlwre was a little
more activity and July Was bld up to
11.15. Then the list turned easier uuder
realizing, but was lina.ll> very steady,
net 3 to 12 points high't on all montits
except May. which closed 10 points low

THE WEEK IN WALL STREET.
New York, May 23 —There has been con
siderable li [uidation effected in the stock
market this week and prices have suf
fered In the process, tin several days the
downward tendency became precipitate
and the selling apparently urgent At in
tervals the market showed a tendencj’ to
rally and operators seemed expectant of
a culmination of the decline and watch
ful for indications of a recovery. The
extent to which the decline has reached
without effective check and th" absence
of now, unfavorable developments in the
situation for some time past 'nave given
ground for the supposition that the pro
cess of discounting the unfavorable I'uc-.
tors h: d g me far enough to warrant the
expectation of a rallv. Professional op
en ators changed th-ir position from the
short to the long side of tlie market once
or twice during th" week in pursuance of
this expectation- But th",::' prey-, d fals"
starts and the immistalable evidence of
renewed liquidU ton en the recoveries
turned the market downwards again.
The underlying muses of the depression
were the same as for some time past and
may be summed up in lln terms undi
gested securities, fears of money stringen
cy during the fall, widespread unrest of
labor, declining iron markets! and a. gen
eral fear that the prosperous era fir
the. country has re.i I ■ d a- tiiminaticn
with a. period of r. action to be faced.
There haw been a few special develop
ments during the week which haw had
more immediate effect in causing the
selling of stocks. The wild speculation In
cotton has Int olwd some largo l -sses on
the short and some of the selling of
stocks is tclieved to have been forced to
make these lo ses. The feverish market
for the staple has led to plans, for eurtail
j merit of production and talk of s'.iutting
down cotton mills and it is evident that,
largo red’.idoes in export demand is re
sulting from the high price of cotton,
with a corresponding reduction in the sup
plj- of foreign exchange.
Th-.- occasional reduction in price of cot
ton has been met with immediate re
sponse in tho stock market in a firmer
tone for stocks showing clearly the spec
ulative sentiment, eoime ting tlv tw
movements. The week's heavy outgo of
gold has been of immediate influence ai
depressing stock, although the domestic
money market, has not been affect'd.
Tito sustained firmness of foreign, ex
change in face of the gold exports, so
that they wsue'evidet tly made as the
cheapest form of remittances in the im
mediate payment of maturing foreign ol
iig.’itlons by bankers. Early In tho week
also the English discount market showed
a rising tendency is the enormous obli
gations to the Batik of England incurred
for applications forth- Transvaal loan
were paid off. The reduction of the bank
rate of discount from t to 3 1-2 per • "lit
on Thursday relaxed the ex-hange situa
tion materially. It is known, however,
that large loans secured from Berlin
bankers two and th'ce month ago will
mature during the n xt few weeks.
■ Tho current balan •■ of merchandise
! exports in our favor Is b'-low expecta
tions at the time these Berlin obligations
: were contract' d, owing to th" small cot
‘ ton exports, a. poor showing of grain ex
i ports and the large Imports of various
I materials. Consider,able further ship-
■ .ments of gold are thus possible. All the
! news bearing on labor disputes Is eagerly
I s. anned In Wall street and the fact is
I dwelt upon that settlements are invaria
bly effected by raising wages. Tlie un-
i varying tenor of these reports is assn
ciated with tlie news of decreased traffic
In various railroad systems, said to be
due to reduced deliveries 1-y manufac
turers owing to the uncertainties of the
i labor outlook. A notable impression is
caused by reports of the Intended a-ban
' donment by various ra.llroa-1 system? of
much projected improvements as have
not been entered upon, owing to tho high
cost of materials of all grades and of
labor. The effect of the yielding price of
Iron and the uncertainty over the level
: at which buyers and sellers will finally
come together is a discouraging influence
owing to the a- ceptel importance of the
Iron trade ns a barometer of business
conditions in general. Arguments to
overcome this influence has proved un
availing, such as the estimates of the
enormous consumptive requirements
w tiling to be filled at Hie price level es
tablished, the desirability of fixing that
lev.-l low enough to cut off ti’,.. jir. sent
import demand ami the probable artifi
cial level for Iron recently attained. The
mixed views of the outcome of the bond
i'- ue and the stock conversion pi oieet of
tlie l’uit'-d States Steel Corporation have
increased th" pressure Upon the shocks
of the corporation, although the new
bonds have advanced. The reports <om-
: monly accepted that applications for the
new bonds, including those for the syn
dii’ate ,-ind for conversions l<" pif-ferred
s'-.-kholdcrs, (all for only siso.of*,',iio') of
i the bonds instead of the $250.000,(X>9 pro.
i jected. arc offered as a reason fur ad
: vancittg their price, owing to the smaller
requirements lor the interest on the Is
sue. The crop news is of growing im
I'Ortancc to tlie stock market as the sea
son progresses and th- condition of the
winter wheat r-rop is a helpful factor,
but the unsatisfactory reports of the cot
ton crop and the prolonged delay in the
planting of the cotton crop are supple
mental factors in the depression of
stocks.
Comment on the Bank Statement.
New York, Maj’ 23.—The weekly state
ment of the clearing house banks of this
city shows:
Loans $923,463,100; fieetease $5,176,100.
Deposits $911,611,1"", de.-rcase $6,221,400.
Circulation $14,204,000, decrease $65,900.
Legal tenders $71,873,500, increase sl,-
428.400.
Specie $166,002,000; decrease $2,754,‘W0.
Reserve $237,674,500; decrease $1,326,060
Reserve required $228,652,775; increase sl,-
556. lot).
Surplus $9,222,723; increase $230, lot).
Excess United States deposits J15.535,-
C 75; increase $229,350.
The Financier says;
"The official statement of the New
York associated banks last week showed '■
a net decrease of $1,326,000 in cash in- ’
stead of an increase of $1,702,200 which ’
was estimated on the basis of the trace
able movements of money dining the
week. The discrepancy was doubtless
largely due to the average system of
the clearing house which brought into
last week more than $1,600,000 of the loss
of cash resulting from the withdrawal of
May 15 of $1,250,000 of gold for export to
South America and probably some por
tion of 'the $2,000,000 which will be sap
ped to that destination on Monday was
withdrawi. at the end of the bunk week.
The 'difference between the actual loss ;
of cash, as shown by the sttilenient and
the estimated gain, may possibly also
have been caused by the withdrawals
bv seceding trust companies as well as
by those who will remain in tin "tearing
house, which have not already made
provisions for the requirt 1 cash reserve
against deposits.
The loans, contrary to genera! expecta
tions, were decreased, msti-.id o, iner us
ed, the reduction being $5.476,1W. This
was most likely tlie result of the ex
tensive liquidation in the stock market
during the week. The d.-poslts were re
duced by $6,224,000 or ?577,7tXi |.-ss than
the amount called for by the decrease in
loans and the net loss of c ish, therefore,
tlie statement did not harmonize. The
required reserve was lessened by $1.5.>6,1(ri
and deducting from this sum the net loss
of cash leaves s23i',l"" increase in sur
plus reserve to $3.222,725. t'ompute-l upon
the basis of deposits less thtisa of $37,-
2t’.i.l"" of public Junds tli ■ surplus is $lB.- ■
535,075. Circulation was deer ,-ised though
by only the small .'mount of $65,9t">. The i
average of the daily clearings forth" .
week Was $231,0i)0,000 against s2lt<K‘,th»» i
tn the previous week, probably reflecting -
the business incident to the gamble in .
cotton; the clearings on Saturday were !
$247,113.8-15, or $16,000,000 g'ri-aler than tin
dally average. Comparisons of loans show ]
that five banks ledjje'd this item by the
net amount of $2,600,000 and the only im
portant increase was $3,400,000 by one of ■
these institutions. Three banks show
a net loss of $1,600,000 in cash- The !
secession of the nine trust companies, i
will' ll have thug far announced their I
Intention of withdrawing from the clear
ing house, or have already withdrawn
therefrom, leaves seven trust companies
In this city and ten in Brooklyn which
may remain in the enjoyment of the priv
ileges of "the organization, though eom
pliqnce with the requirement that they
shall maintain a minimum cash reserve
of 5 per cent against deposits. The seven
teen trust companies which will contiaue
to clear through the banks had, as ap
pears by the statement to the bank
ing department on December 31. general
deposits amounting to $146,565,91(1, ami,
upon this basis, the cash reserve which
will be required to be held by them will
lie $7,328,295. Therefore, instead of about
$15,000,000 cash reserve, which would have
been needed, had all the trust companies
complied with the rule, the secession of
tho nine companies reduces the amount by
a little more than one-half.
Inasmuch as tlu; companies which may
remain in tiu 1 clearing house have more
nr less of cash reserve on hand, the sum
wh'eh will be withdrawn by them from
tin- banks during tho current week wfil
doubtless be cojnparatively small and
possibly even this amount may have al
ready been withdrawn oi‘ otherwise ob
tained.

Sweet potatoes a-e dull and selling at
lower prices by 10 to 15c per bushel than I
last week Old Irish potatoes an- in light .

no inconvenience hag been felt with prices
strong.
Not tn the history of our market has :
there been so little activity on all varie

impossible to interest the buyers at any
Onions are selling readily at fancy ■

bare. A tremendous accumulation of but- -
t. v Is now tn the market which is getting
iiinbid for the want of buyers, although
it is being off.-red nt exceedingly attrac- ■
rive prices to the traile.
Egg receipts normal, with but little If
any 'change in prices. Live poultry, es

with th" supply liberal. To the contrary, ■
spring broil*-: s and fries of good size are .

will no doubt result in a higher market -
next week. Cucumbers are scarce, but
