Oak Hill is a monument gigantic and
beautiful of Mr.. W. w. Curcoran's intelli-
gent munifcence. The cemetery origi-
nally comprised fifteen acres, donated by
Mr.. Corcoran, and was chartered by Con-
gress March 3, 1919. Lorenzo Thomas,
Edward NJ. Linthicum, George Poe, ir.,
and John Marbury, ST., We're designated
by name us trustees. The grounds were
laid ont by Geo. +. de la Roche, Il civil
engineer of Georgetown, and they remain
n monument of his taste AMI skill. Addi-
tions have since been made, until the
cemetery now includes thirty acres. IL
can be increased until il embraces fifty.
There have been i, 755 intermcnts made UP
to the first of last April, but the number
ofbodics reposing in the cemetery is much
greater.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, August 1.-The failure of the Mum
ster bank still excites the greatest interest
here. / have conversed with English and Irish
bankers about Ii. The dealings of the bank for
long time have not been wholly free from sus-
picion. Jobbery was the Immediate cause of
the failure in the shape of advances of money
and oyerdrawn accounts. The Cork share
holders and directors of the bank practically
worked In their own interest. committee of
Dublin shareholders recently formed to oppose
this dangerous favoritism set on foot the inves-
tigation to secure q reform. Farquharson, the
manager, who had already embezZled large
sums secretly coached the Dublin committee
and provided them with facts and figures for
their case from the inside with the intention to
hide his own defaIcations when the smash
came, under the exposure Of the bad methods
employed at Cork. This extremely smart
maneuver almost succeeded. He also specu-
lated largely with the bank funds. The
effect of the failure is probably not
realized in America. An Irish member OF
parliament said to me, we might llken Cork TO
"a city of the dead. One person out of every ten
we meet In the street is ruined directly or fndi-
rectly by the failure. A scheme or restoration
is now accepted but will be practically making
q new bank under the old name. Nothing can
obviate losses of depostors. Trade, another
Irishman declares, is paralyzed in Cork and
several other parts of Ireland. A London
financial man has assured me that so long ago
as 1864 he had written to the directors that
their course was like a drag hunt with q great
cry, fine country and much enjoyment, but no

An IMPORTANT DECISION.
Attorney General Garland Declares Ali
Indfon Leases Invalid Unless Sane
toned BY Congress.

Attorney General Garland, to whom the Sec.
rotary Of the Interior referred the question Of
the power Of the Interior department to author.
lie the Indians to lease their lands for grazing
purposes, has transmitted to Secretary Lamar
an opinion in effect that no such power exists
under the law.
"One who enters" says the Attorney General,
with cattle or other 1--we stock upon an Indian
reservation under lease of this description,
made In violation of the statute, is an intruder.
and may be removed therefrom az such, not.
Wisns sss his entry is with the consent Of
tne tIlOe. Such consent may exempt him
from the penalty imposed in section 2I17, but
II cannot validate the lease or confer upon him
any legal right to remain upon the land
Inc Attorney General concludes that the
power OF the department. to authorize such
leases TO De made, or that Of the President or
Secretary to approve or to make the same, II 1t
rived rom either treaty or a statutory provi-
sion. he knows Of no provision comforting
sucn powers, and the absence of such
authority led undoubtedly to the
passage OF the act by Congress
February 10TH 1878, which authorized the
Seneca tribe Of Indians in New York state to
lease lands within their reservations. "In my
opinion, he concludes, "each of the questions
proposed IN your letter should be answered in
the negative, and 80 answer them.'

A willy widows WAYS.

HOW SIZE CAPTURED THE CROWD, AND HOW SHE
CAME TO GRIEF.
From Q Bridgeport Conn Letter.
Among the many stylish carriages which ut
this season of the year throng Sea Side park
just before shutdown every afternoon there has
been noticed OF late a handsome victoria drawn
by q pair OF spirited bays. The white straw
collars and the shining trappings of the horses
have attracted much attention, when indeed IL
has been possible for one to turn his eyes for a
moment from the vision of loneliness that
reposes in the carriage and much of Bridgeport
fs In q fever of curiosity to know from whence
the dashing turnout comes and TO whom 1t be-
longs.
This curiosity has been intensified by an Incl
dent-as the French would say n contreiemps-
which occurred last Saturday evening. Upon
her first appearance in the park the widow for
Bridgeport is agreed that the fair occupant OF
the Victoria is a widow let it be seen OF all men
that she had q remarkably neat and pretty pair
Of feet. Leaning back on her cushioned seat
che permitted two little shiny blue kid boots TO
creep out from under cover OF founces upon
where, nestled one against the other as motion.
less and demure az couple Of sleeping mice.
they remained in full view of all beholders.
their narrow-minded way, have been heard TO
say that Barnum ought to have them, meaning
s and snSae to be
nized as one OF the attractions OF a drive In
the park, and it ia not 10 be wondered at
carriage halted where dozens Of other equi-
pages were drawn up in front of the band
stand, all eyes turned in her direction. Tie
little blue feet were as usual in sight. The band
plsyed q rayishing waltz, but the pretty little
boots remained tnsensible to Its rhythm; the
feet of other ladies might tap sympathetic
accompaniment to the music, but the widow $
feet knew no such frivolity. They seemed to
say, 1--WE are here; We are beautiful; we are con-
tent" Suddenly there was a commotion among
the horses; a trotter attached to a light wagon
became FESTIVE and, backing unexpectedly,
brought the rear wheels Of the vehicle In which
he was driven sharply against the back Of the
widows victoria. There was a little Shrek,
f1utter Of white garments, and I'm another in
slant the widow was standing trembling i'm the
road, supported by the footman, who had
jumped from his box as his mistress left the
carriage. And now occurred a most astonish-
ing thing. The widow was in the road that
was plain to everybody, but there, sitting
quietly side by side on the floor of the carriage
which she had forsaken, were her beautiful
feet. There was no mistake about ii. They
were there, two lovely blue shoes ending lin
shapely ankles that were encased In black silk
stockings. Above the ankles was nothing.
With cry Of distress, the widow scrambled
back into her carriage; the coachman threw "A
robe from the box into the floor of the victoria,
completely covering up the little blue boots,
and at q frantic signal from his mistress drove
rapidly out of the park. She has not been seen
since Saturday.
