ROMANCE OF A BELFRY.
The Exciting Adventures OF am
EugIish Tourist ON Church
kteepIe in Spain.

That every visitor in Spain who
makes his way to the old Roman and
Moorish city Of Cordova should as
eend the belfry tower Of Abdur-Rah-
mans mosque, now converted to
Christian uses, is an article of local
iaith, though comparatively few per
sons care to toll up the numberless
steps Of its dark, tortuous and crum-
bling staircases, even fer the sake Of
the grand spectacle Of the city, with
the placid waters OF the Guadaiquiver
and the lofty Sierras encircling it in
the distance. II was somewhere in
the architectural labyrinth OF the
courts below that DIR. Middleton one
day last week accepted the proffered
services of gypsy, under whose
guidance he ascended until the twain
at last found themselves in the little
gallery outside the belfry. The spot
Is as lonely one as could well be inn
aglned. What noises there are i'll the
sleepy old city far down below reach
here only in a confused murmur, and
no human voice could avail from such
hight to call for succor. DIR. Mid
dleton's account is that when he had
arrived at this point his sinister COM
panlon, pretending TO quarrel, made a
sudden attack upon him, presump-
lively with view 10 robbery and muir
der, and that, in self-deiense, during
the struggle he contrived to get out
his revolver and shot his assailant
dead. Save the bare fact that the
man was subsequently found in this
place dead and bleeding from pistol
shot wound, the story necessarily
rested upon the mere statement of the
stranger; for, apart from the two prin-
elpals, no human eye had rested on
the deadly struggle. DIR. Middleton,
however, lost no time in surrendering
himself to the authorities, by whom
he was promptly lodged in Jail, pend
ing the necessary inquiries. Fortu-
haiely Tor him certain facts have just
been brought to light which can leave
no reasonable ground 10 question the
accuracy OF his version of the affair.
IL has been discovered that some years
ago another English tourist MAS in
dneed to ascend the belfry tower by
The same guide. This gentleman s
mangled body was shortly afterward
found on the pavement below, and the
explanation given by the gypsy was
that the stranger had in his pres
enee suddenly thrown himself over
me railings of the gallery. II is sig
hihcant that it is stated that there
We're no circumstances in this case to
explain the suicide. There seems lit
lie room to doubt that if DIR. Middle
ION had been overpowered there would
nave been in Cordova last week an
other mysterious case of alleged sui
eiae from the rallied gallery Of the bel
NY tower.-London News.

A fashionable craze among men OF
small means is to have bank ac-
count and to make all payments by
check. The savings banks ordinarily
do not permit deposits to be drawn
out by checks, and when money is
taken from the institution the pass
book has to be presented TO the cash ier
and most of the national banks of this
city require $500 TO be placed in their
hands before they will open a current
account. A few of the larger institu-
tions require a deposit of from 81 900
to IS 900. The banks stipulate that
the deposit shall never be less than
the sum they require to open the ac-
count, but this rule is not enforced in
all banking institutions. The deposit
of $500 is in some Of the small in
stitutions not enforced, and very often
if the account could be seen the bal
ance to the credit of the depositor is
only few dollars.
"Payments by check are the safest
way Of settling any account" said a
cashier OF bank TO a reporter for the
Mail and Express. Ii you give a
man check he must endorse it be-
fore he can get the money, so that you
always have his receipt. Then the
money is paid by the bank to some
responsible person, so that the pay
ment can always be proved by tracing
how the money was paid. Should a
check be lost payment can always be
stopped.

The DeiuKe in the Province Of
H0nan.

Some details appear in the London
papers of the deluge in the Chinese
province Of Honan 1t is now re-
ported that in addition to the several
large cities submerged, including Kai-
Fung, there are at least 5000 popu-
lous villages completely drowned out
with all the inhabitants. II one-sixth
OF the province Of Honan is under
water this would be trihe over TO-
600 square miles. In that province
the population was given in the last
official statement at 420 to the square
mile. Consequently at least 4 200, 900
are without homes. How many OF
these perished in the inundation? Ev-
identity the greater part, because the
deluge came in the night, and many
never got out of their homes, while
even of those who did the race with
the flood was hopeless. A correspond
ent SAYS: 81 am told that in hun
dreds of instances on the present oc-
casion when the waters rushed into
the cities, sweeping wallsthouses and
everything down before them, the
people refused to stir and met their
deaths with that wonderful indiffer-
ence which characterizes the Chinese
in some cases, for the Celestial is
nothing il not fatalist OF the most
pronounced and unreasoning type"
1t is certain that John Chinaman faces
death with a stoical spirit, and it may
be partly because he is fatalist. In
this case it might well have been be-
cause he is a philosopher and pre-
ferred to die quietly where the flood
found him rather than to disturb his
soul with hopeless conflict and die
wretchedly at least ten miles down
the road. 1t is likely. therefore, that
the dead, instead Of being counted by
hundreds of thousands, are between
three and four millions,
