Suicide.

SutCluts
NJ Provost Paradol, the French Minister
who arrived here last week, committed sui
eide last night, by shooting himself in his
chamber. The circumstances show that the
act was premedtated. The inmates of the
house at the time were his house-keeper and
French serving man. The woman heard
the report of the pistol and rushed to the
room, where she found Paradol lying dead
on the floor bleeding from the left breast
the ball having entered Immediately over the
heart The weapon used was a small single
barrel breech- loading Colts pistol found on
the floor under him. He walked out yester-
day and purchased a pair of these pistols.
The other was found on his bureau with a
cartridge beside it. Harvey and Mann, Un-
dertakers, were sent for at an early hour this
morning, but it was not known that NJ. Par
adol had killed himself till after daylight, as
the servants were timid about going on the
street at night in strange city. The body
was embalmed and prepared for burial.
| Nothing further viii be done until the arrival
of NJ. Berthenny, who has been summoned
from New York.
NJ. Paradol had prepared himself for bed
but had evidently remained up for some time,
meditatng suicide. He had nothing on but
his night shirt, and apparently stood facing
the fireplace near the centre of the room,
when he discharged the pistol. lhe BODY
was found lying on the back with one leg
drawn up, and the left arm outstretched
above the head. The French Minister took
possession of his house on Friday last, and
Sunday evening sent his son and daughter,
who accompanied him to this country, to
Newport, II. L., intending to join them in a
few days to spend the summer. He left a
note saying, Il will kill myself, M. Berth
emmy come back and stay"
A coroner's inquest will be held at o'clock
this evening.

L. B. Hamlen, Esq, of this city, has pre-
sented us with two bank bills, one of the de-
nominate N of $40 and the other of S., issued
in 1906 by the Halowell and Augusta Bank.
In their execution and general appearance
they speak of the past, of the time when peo-
pie looked upon paper money, even in its
best estate, with a great deal of suspicion
They bear the signatures of John O. Page,
President, and Jeremiah Dummer, Cashier
They have passed through many hands, YEAR
ing the paper upon which they are printed
quite thin. These bills have history, as we
learn from North's excellent work. The Hall
DWELL and Augusta Bank was incorporated on
the 9th of March, 1904, and was the first
banking institution established on the kenpe-
bee, and the fifth in the district of Maine
The corporators were chiefly citizens of the
two places, with few Bath and Wiscasset
names. The bank was located at Hallowell,
with a capital of two hundred thousand dol
lars, and was prohibited from issuing bills of
less Determination than five dollars. 1t was
required to appropriate one-eighth part of its
of the commonwealth, not resident in the town
of Hallowell," for the purpose of promoting
the interest of Agriculture. These loans
were to be made in sums BOT less than one
hundred, nor more than five hundred dollars,
"andsupon the personal bond of the borrower,
with collateral security, by sufficient mortgage
of real estate, for term not less than one
year" This provision, designed to foster ag-
riculture by loans to farmers, was in the
charters of the previously mentioned banks.
The corporators OF the Hallowell and Augusta
Bank met on the 9Th of july, at the house of
John Sewall, innholder, in Hallowell, for the
purpose of organizing. A struggle which
commenced in the legislature betw cen liallo-
well and Augusta for the location of the insti-
tuition, was nov, renewed for its organization.
So nearly balanced were the parties, that each
at first claimed to haye elected the chairman
of the meeting. However, the Augusta party
prevailed. Judge Cony was chosen chairman,
and Reusl Williams, Secretary. Judge
Bridge was elected President, but did not act
long, If at all. John o. Page was elected,
and ever after during the life of the corpora
ton continued its President. Jeremiah Dunn
mer was the frst and only Cashier. This
bank was of great advantage to the Hook, ad-
ding much to its Importance as place OF
business. During the troublesome times pre-
csling the war Of 1912 It failed, with large
