NEW YORK, May -7.—Mrs. Sarah
MacDonald Sheridan, former Geor
gian and daughter of one of the lead
ing men of the Southern Slates at
the time of the Civil War. told to-day
why she permitted her husband to
obtain a divorce in Reno without con
test.
Her husband. Charles Oscar Sheri
dan. went to Nevada four years ago
for his health. She refused to join
him there. He obtained a decree for
absolute divorce laH Saturday.
She said to-day she regarded it as
her great duty to continue her socio
logical work. In which she had been
engaged for HO years. Mrs. Sheridan
is the founder of the "New National
Fireside" movement for the opening
of public schools after hours as neigh
borhood social centers, and declared
she believed her work along thefe
lines of greater importance than the
maintenance of her domestic rela
tions
"1 have lived to see my son. Mark
Sheridan, in the old family home in
Atlanta, become one of the most
promising young mural painter* of
the day,” she said, "and my daughter
happily married to the younger son
of one of England’s noblest families
This accomplished, 1 feel that my
family life has been full."
Mrs. Sheridan is an intimate friend
of President Wilson and his family
and is a musician of ability as weil /is
a sociologist. From her youth Mrs.
s leridan devoted her talents to the
improvement of social conditions in

The Children’s Panacea—The Mother’s Friend.
DETROIT, May 27.—Joseph T. Tal-
Ipert, vice president of the National
City Bank, of New York, in an ad
dress delivered before the Bankers’
Club here, declared everything has
been dear except credit, and. as a
result, "our expanded loans and de
posits constitute the weak spots in
cur domestic and business situation."
Mr. Talbert gave statistics showing
fthe gross loans and investments
of all the banks in the United States
1907 has been somewhere in the
neighborhood of $5,000,000,000. while
the total increase in the gold stock
of the United States since 1907 aggre
gated $506,000,000.
"This condition,” said Mr. Talbert,
"although perhaps not so strong as
it should be to justify and properly
sustain our increased loans, still is
assuring and shows that there is no
substantial ground for alarm."
Delight to Squander.
Mr. Talbert caused quite a stir when
4ie said that “evidence tends to show
that individually and collectively we
are a nation of spendthrifts.
“It is our habit and delight to
squander, and no amount of preach
ing will have any effect upon our
prodigality as a national trait.”
Mr. Talbert, in leading up to an ex
planation of the drain on New York’s
gold supply by Europe, said the lend
ing power of German banks had been
strained to the limit; that Germany
borrowed money here and sought to
draw gold from us.
In calling attention to ihe persis
tent hoarding of gold by the French,
he said th** French, not content with
the mere hoarding of their ow'd gold,
at heavy losses of exchange, forced
from us. either for their own account
or for that of South America, upward
of $56,000,000 of gold.
"The movement is going on and
may continue indefinitely.
"For lack of protection for our gold
stock we have been obliged to sit
helplessly and to submit to this forced
exportation of gold, to our disadvan
tage and discomfort.
This gold movement taking place
at such a time and under such condi
tions demonstrated the fact that often
has been stated before—that New
York the only free market in *the
world for goid."
Need Outside Money.
Mr. Talbert said an enormous
amount of railroad financing must
be done during the next year or two.
and nearly all of it will be done at
home with difficulty and in all prob
ability at a higher level of interest
rates than we have been accustomed
to in such undertakings in recent
years.
Mr. Talbert uttered "a word of cau
tion against the practice which has
beer all loo common among mer
chants and manufacturers, of finan
cing themselves too largely through
note brokers."
In concluding, the hanker said it
should be remembered that we are
neither in nor approaching a period
of speculation, and tfiat credit is in
no danger whatever from that source
now. nor will it be in the near future
He added that courage should be tak
en from the fact that thus far the
promises of another year of bountiful
crops are exceedingly bright.
