The rite of confirmation was administered at the morning service to sixteen candidates. The was very impressive, and the bishop's address to the newly confirmed appealed not only to them but also to all others who were present and witnessed the solemn rite. The text chosen by Bishop Thomas for his morning sermon was from Col. II, 10, "And ye are complete in him." The subject of the sermon was "Our Fullness and Completeness in Christ." For easy treatment the bishop divided his sermon into three distinct propositions: First, that human nature has a capacity for the divine; second, that human nature derives its fullness or completeness from union with the divine; and third, that those who reject Christ can never satisfy the demands of their nature, and are therefore debarred from the perfect bliss of heaven. Wants an Investigation.

County Attorney Nevison yesterday asked Judge Benson to appoint three members of the bar as a committee to thoroughly investigate the charges against R. A. French. These charges were brought out by the testimony of A. Gaffel at the last term of district court and accuse French of fraudently receiving money from different liquor sellers, representing to them that they would be protected from any legal prosecution.

The county attorney is thoroughly in earnest in his warfare against the liquor sellers and is determined that anything calculated to defeat justice shall be swept away. Captured. Marshal Prentice returned from Armourdale at 11 o'clock last night with the man suspected of robbing John Daley's tailor shop. The man has served a term in the penitentiary for robbery, from this county, and is also wanted in Nebraska. He is the man the police have been looking for ever since the robbery and the evidence strongly points to him as the man wanted, although he strongly denies it.

Marshal Prentice has acted promptly and efficiently in the capture of this man. A SURVIVOR. The Onarge of the Six Hundred at Balaklava--A Hundred and Twenty-five Came out Alive, Wounded and Bleeding, A TRIBUNE reporter having heard that Mr. G. H.

Baynes, a survivor of that heroic charge of the Six Was visiting this city, obtained from him brief description of that terrible affair. a From this battle originated that famous poem by Alfred Tennyson, "Charge of the Light Brigade." Mr. Bayne's home is at Colorado Springs, and there is perhaps not another survivor living west of the Mississippi river, and not more than twenty-five are alive altogether. Mr. Baynes said: "On the 29th day of October, 1854, the Russians made a determined effort to capture Katakoi.

That is the harbor at Balaklava. The Earl of Lucan commanded all the British cavalry, which consisted of two brigades, the heavy brigade commanded by General Scarlet. and the Light Brigade by Lord Cardigan. Early in the engagement the Heavies made a Russian splendid charge through. some cavalry, with loss.

Later on the Light Brigade were in cavalry parlance "standing to their horses," when Captain Knowlan, an officer of the 11th Hussars, aide to Earl Lucan, rode up to Lord Cardigan and said: My Lord, the Light Brigade are to move forward immediately." Cardigan gave his men the order to mount, enquiring, "Where is the Brigade to move to?" Capt. Knowpointed his sword to some Russian batteries that were doing a good deal of mischief-one directly in front of us- one slightly to the right, the another to the left, is saying, "There is enemy: there where it is to 'and rode in front of us. The orders came in quick succession. Trot, gallop, then charge; Knowlan and horse were knocked over by a cannon ball some distance in front. It was a terrible moment, but no time for thinking.

At the batteries we went like a shot from a cannon; yes, and got there; of their guns, and sabred their men along side their guns. Then it was how to get back; between us and our own lines a strong force of Cossack cavalry had drawn up. The Turkish gunners who might have helped us fled from their guns, we were without any support and would have perished to a man if Sir Colin Campbell, afterwards Lord Clyde had not brought up his regiment 93rd Highlanders (God bless him) in line, and poured volleys into the Cossacks. Taking advantage of this we, under the especial leadership of Lord George Paget, acting as brigadier colonel of 4th Light Dragoons-my own regiment, in which I held a cornet's commission-the few of us left charged right through the Cossacks and regained our lines. It was a mad, foolhardy business; it never was ascertained whether it was a mistake or not, as poor Knowlan was Our Light Brigade was composed only the skeletons of four regiments, viz: 4th Light Dragoons, 13th Light Dragcons, 8th and 11th Hussars.

We numbered about 680 strong when we made the charge-126 when we came out, and the majority of us wounded more or less. RESIGNED. Prof. Wm. MacDonald has Tendered His Resignation to the RegentsGo to Harvard University, It will be a great surprise to the TRIBUNE readers to learn that' Prof.

Wm. MacDonald, of the Musical department of the University, has tendered to the Regents his resignation as dean of the department, his resignation to take effect at the end of this school year. Prof. McDonald came here immediate ly after graduating at the New England conservatory of music, in 1881. He fact, the only man that really organize a department of music at the University.

He has traveled all over the state, perhaps ten or twelve thousand miles, in the interest of this department, as well as the institution in general, and by his earnest endeavors and hard work he has brought the department up to a high standard. He has always been known as doing thorough work in his profession, sending out four graduates during the six years he has been here, all of whom occupy a high rank in musical circles. Prof. MacDonald has also done considerable work outside of his department. For three years the Professor was vice president of the Music Teachers National Association.

He has lectured a great many times before the teachers institutes of both cities and counties. Before ceasing his piano playing in public he frequently gave concerts in this city and in others. For two years he was an officer of the Academy of Language and Literatute and was also made a charter member of the association, and in 1885 he organized the Music Teacherg Association of the state of Kansas and was afterwards president of the association for three years, He also organized the Kansas school music association in '85 and was president of that association for two years. Prof. MacDonald' will take special work at Harvard University in phy and Literature, beginning next September.

He thinks, he will remain there four years at least, but does not know when he will go from there. Registration. The registration in the city by wards if given below for the benefit of a num- Many good people think, because the law allows national banks, under certain conditions, to issue currency, that these institutions are thereby particularly favored, and are enjoying unusual privileges. This is a great error, not only so, but the law imposes an actual burden. What are the facts? -In 1873 there were I976 national banks with a cirsulation of 8342,350,000 currency, In December, 1889, there were 3326 national banks, with a circulation of $126,040,000, showing an increase in the number of banks of 1,850 and a decrease in circulating notes of $216,310,000.

To explain this increase of banks and decline of notes issued, it must be understood that the law allows any bank to issue 90 per cent. of its capital stock, does not compel them to do so. For instance, a bank with $100,000 capital may issue only $22,500 instead of $90,000. A bank with $250,000 capital can issue as little as $45,060, but may have $225,000 if it elects. It will therefore be seen that new banks starting for the past few years have taken out the smallest amount of currency allowed by law.

Why did they do so? Also the old banks have retired their currency as far as the law would allow. Why did they do so? The Merchant's National Bank was organized in November, 1886, and took $22,000 If there was a bonanza in it why did the bank not take $90,000, as they might have done? Clearly hecause it was unprofitable to do so. Let us see what the burdens are that make it unprofitable; -every bank is required to purchase ard deposit with the comp troller of the currency $100 0. S. bonds as security for every $90 in 11'- rency.

U. S. 4 per cent bonds have been worth a premium of from 25 to 30 per cent for the past five years. Let us base our calculations on a premium of 25 per cent, and we find the following burdens: $25,000 U. S.

bonds cost 118 $31,250. Counting interest at 8 per cent we find Interest on this sum for one $2,500 We paid in the vear 1:89 for examination 50 We paid publ shing four 25 We paid U. S. taxes on 225 For redeeming and do troying currency. 25 Loss of $5,250 premium on U.

S. bonds maturing 197, distributed 17 years, per year. 800 Total burdens per ar RECEIVED AS FOLLOWS' Received on currency issued. $22,500 Lese 5 per cent retained in the U. Treasury for 1,125 Total received.

891,875 Which at 8 per cent interest is per $1,710 Interest on $25,000 4 per cent bonds received last 1,000 Total receipts for annum. $2,710 It will be seen that this shows an aetual loss of $400 8 year to the bank, which is a fair and correct statement. The question may be asked: do you organize a national bank instead of a state corporation if the law imposes burdens that are unprofitable? The question is easily answered. It is on account of the popularity of national banks. The people patronize them in preference, and a banker must be governed by the demands of the people if he meets with success.

A banker does not make his profits on his capital but on deposits, and to secure the greatest degree of success, must have the full confidence of the peo ple. National bank- have this confidence in a remarkable degree. No system of banking in this or any other country has been SO successful or popular, and it would be a public calamity to destroy or impair the system. G. W.
