In the Neueste Ndolriohtsn, q newspaper In
Munich OF sensational article about court
life In Stuttgart, tho capital OF the kingdom OF

Charles Of Wurtembere had become the COM
plete dupe OF three American sdventurers,
whose cunning and rapaoity knew no bounds,
and who were using the King for their own sell
fish purposes. The despatohes were very
meagre In their details. but Il was said that
the sdventurers pretended to be spiritualists,
and that the name OF one OF them waa Jack

There can be little doubt that the man jack

government deposits. A number OF the
provisions which experience seems
TO point out as desirable are OF
restrictive nature. Among these
are provisions imposing checks upon
managers Of national banks in respect
to investments in real estate securities,
providing penalties for making loans con-
trary TO law, prohibiting such constitu-
ton Of tho board Of directors as would
make officers Of the bank n majority OF the
board, and adding TO tho oath which
directors are required to take an obligation
to inform themselves at all times as to tho
condition OF the bank Is business. This legis-
lation has been very favorably commented
upon by the leading financial papers OF the
country, and having many friends on both
sides Of the House, as well as Senate, is
likely TO "go through" and become law.
