Holland knows how to honor her
distinguished sons. 10 Nicolas Beets,
professor Of divinity, late rector magni-
ficus of the University Of Utrecht, she
is about to present a national testimo-
NAL. 1t is in recognition of the schol-
arly attainments of one who has made
valuable contributions to Nether1and
literature, and who now, on his seven
tieth birthday, in accordance with the
educational law of Holland, is compelI-
ed to resign his Office.
A leading woman of fashion is repre-
scented as announcing that she has taken
q census Of one Summer resort, and can
count sixty girls who will never marry.
The cause of this destined ce1ibacy is
explained to be that "they are brought
up to spend money, and must marry il
or remain single. But the men Of their
own set will not marry except for some
great advantage, and they know to a
dot that the sixty girls I have counted
viii not only be poor themselves but
will have poor s~isters." Whether this
condems the summer resorts, The y@sae
men, or the Young women most severe

country; and her Majesty purchased
the property outright three years ago

also possesses some property at Coburg,
and the Princess Hohcnlohe Left her

regard to personal property Mr.. Nleld
left the Queen over $500, 600, n the
property left by the Prince Consort IS
believed to have amounted to nearly
5000, 900; but the provisions of his Will

THOUGHT OF THE HOUR.
THE WEST.

This isno fable-l&nd where dreams
Are wand transformed into the real;
No idler's Paradise where hopes
Fall, realized, from fortunes wheel;
No sluggard's kingdom, blindly ruled,
Where Chance sits Oh d golden throne,
And throws his doubtful favors out
To gid the lives Of fools alone.
1t holds itself in higher grace,
1t keeps the cleaner, stronger course
And takes from chance what chance will give
But draws it's weekly wage from force.
Come, Drawn, and brain, and earnest soul
The patient manhood that can wait,
And hold its truth through bitter days
WillnOt knock vainly at the gate.

Failure OF Thomns rnwcpit.

LONDON, ONT, Sept. 2i.-The failure
Of Thomas Fawcett, private banker, has
had a depressing effect in Western Onta-
rio. A great portion of the banking
business OF that section has been in the
hands of private banks, and that of
Fawcett was one of the largest of these
Besides his Office in London he was in
terested in branch establishments in
Walford, Wyoming, Arizona, Admission,
Millbroon, Thornburg, Dresden, Midc-
hell, ThameSVille and at other places.
In an interview to-day, Fawcett said
his liabilities, att rough guess, cannot
be far short of $S00,000 or 100000 That
estimate includes liabilities of
agencies in which he is interested.
He felt satisfied that his assets are far in
| advance of the amounts named although
of course if his estate is forced into liqu.-
dation or placed in the hands of an as
signee, some Cfthe securities held would
not realize their face value. He was
confident that his estate, if properly
! handled, would pay dollar for dollar
When asked about his deposits il
agencies he said he had not had an OPP
pOrtunity of asCertaining even an APP
prOXimate estimate OF his deposits, hui
since the Federal difficulty, the shrink
age in nearly all agencies has been yer,
large. In addition to this, many farm
erS have been forced TO Withdraw thei

principally to the dizziness OF the cattl,

very largely interested.

Of mixed struggle over an area Of thir-

has received crushing defeats in every

doubtful states has been increased, but
the increase in every instance has been
due to the fact that States
