once notified Of the fact, and at the same time
informed that the bank had g surplus, after

messenger was sent to SCOTS house by the Of

wife WAS at home. Mrs. Scott was finally found,
but she said she knew nothing about her hus-

in 1888 to,every IA. In New England
1900 families are broken up by divorce

The glut of money in the great banks
Of Europe is something phenomenal.
The Bank Of England has gained in

run down to II per cent. per annum.
