FORGOTTEN MONEY NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The late panic has served to bring to light in a striking manner the carelessness of the average New Yorker in regard to his money. The largest institution in the city which was forced to close its doors after a run, and is now attempt ing to reorganise, is seriously hamp ered in its efforts to secure the neces sary sanction of its depositors to the plans mapped out on account of the fact that there are more than 500 such depositors with deposits of more than half a million dollars, who are either lost, strayed or stolen and cannot be found. When the depositors' commit tee began its work of securing con sent for the scheme of reorganization which it decided upon, it early dis covered that half a thousand deposi tors seemed to have forgotten all about their money. Two, whose de posits were over $20,000 each, were only located after weeks of search and much expense and both were very much surprised to discover that they had this money on deposit, since all record of it had escaped their . minds. That any one should forget a matter of $20,000 cash seems unbe lievable, yet the records ' show that more than 500 persons have done just this in regard to sums in varying amounts. In one case a new wealthy man had deposited $12,000 in ,1884 and had forogtten all about He was therefore very much surprised when informed that he had at present near ly $25,000 standing to his credit j Still further evidence of the New Yorker's carelessness In regard to money is instanced by the fact that in the care of this single institution there are more than one hundred ac counts standing in the names of per sons deceased whose families of exe cutors have never even obtained let ters of administration. In view of these figures it seems probable that a good many million dollars are ly ing in New York banks whose owa ers have forgotten about them en tirely. New York is likely to have no less than three entries in the race for nomination honors at the Chicago convention next June. It is well known that Secretary Cortelyou is the principal dark-horse candidate. It is already settled that Governor Hughes will be the State's favorite son and will receive the votes of the State's delegates. The third aspirant, who may be called an adopted son candi date, so far as New York is concern . ed, is ex-Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, formerly of Iowa and more re cently at the head of a well-known trast company of -this city. Having made $100,000 in the year that he has occupied this position the buzz ing of the presidential bee has drawn the ex-Secretary away from Wall street to the political arena. While his precise plans for securing a share of the Chicago delegates have been kept secret, his purpose is indicated bv the announcement of a prominent publishing house that it is about to bring out a book by Mr. bhaw ana . that the title of the book is "Current Issues". Whether of not he has the delegates Shaw has the platform on which he is willing to run all set forth in black and white and nobody can complain that they do not know where he stands on the tariff, cur rency or any other pending question, . fo rit is all in the book. Whether or not this novel plan of campaigning helps his political fortunes, Shaw's book is very timely and likely to find a good many readers who will want to have a clear exposition of the in trancascies of currency and tariff questions. At any rate the ex-Secretary has gone the Taft postal card campaign one better. The old saying that time is money never received a more apt and con- crete illustration than in New York at ti nresMit dav. Minutes here are literally viewed as dollars for based ' niuin the annual earnings of the peo ple of New York City each minute of the working day is worth ?jU,UUU. in ntw words results of labor high and low paid in the metropolis amounts to just a little less than $i5,uuu,uuu a ; day or about $4,500,000,000 a year. ji Nowhere else in the world has time heen so valuable so far as its earning power is concerned. In this fact lies the explanation of the trem endous expenditures which are being made, particularly in connection witn rancnortation about the city, which persons unfamiliar with existing con finn often look upon as being heed less extravagance. In the light of 44 what these improvements win save 10 ti a miner oublican. they are all a sound investment The $70,000,000 nrtiirh is being expended 1UI lllDi-a".. " " " - at the Grand Central Terminal will n.n a savins of from 6 to 8 minutes on each train of the daily creation of 1440 additional minutes for work. At $30,000 a minute this would mean thme saving of $43,200,000 every day. Of course the sum is not actually so large but the fact remains neverless that it will not take long to get DaeK ihe $70,000,000 in question and that tn investment even from the point of view of persons who have to pay for it is a sound one. It is tne tunneis which afford perhaps the most con crete illustration of the value of time in New York City. Crossing the rivers by ferry is at best a slow pro cess and it is simply to save the min utes, each one worth $30,000 in this means of travel that hundreds of mil lions of dollars are being expended on the tunnels under the river. Father Knickerbocker hopes shortly to reach the point when his time will be worth $50,000 a minute, but even now his record is far ahead of that of any other city in the world. . DONT EXPERIMENT.

We Joyce, 412 Duane street, As toria, Oregon, says: "At the time I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, I was enduring a great deal of suffering from my kidneys. The secretions from these organs were so profuse as to give me a great deal of annoy ance. As a result of not getting my proper rest at night, I would rise in the morning feeling more tired and weak than when I went to bed and daring the day felt languid. The slightest exertion caused severe pains through my back and hips. I tried liniments and plasters but did not receive any relief. I then resorted to other remedies but still the results were unsatisfactory. At last my at tention was drawn to Doan's Kidney Pills. I decided to give them a trial and procured a box at Chas. Rogers and Son drug store. They helped me so much that I procured a further supply, used them and was entirely cured. I am now in unusually good health and do not hesitate to attri bute same to the use of Doan's Kid ney Pills." For sale by all dealers. .Price, 50 cents.
