r Artist Millais' Fine Studio.
london LETTER to Pb,Iadelphia Times.

London Letter to Philadelphia Times.
Sir John Miljais is universally con-
coded to have the finest studio in all
London. 1t is situated at Palace Gate,
Kenslngton. The house was built for
himself. 1t Is of the Italian order OF
architecture, and is constructed OF red
brick, ornamented with massive pillars
and balconies of white stone. When
you enter the very large hall you pass
almost unthinkingly over the beautiful
pavement of colored marbles arranged
in mosaic, so much is the eye attracted
by the screen of marble columns that
shuts off the broad stone stair
case, but not so completely hides
the stair but that the visitor looks on to
the first broad landing beyond the col
umns and sees there white marble
fountain, it's base surrounded by palms,
throwing up its perfumed water high
into the sunshine that streams through
the window behind. The studio takes
up nearly the whole first floor. 1t is
forty feet long and twenty-five feet
wide. The height IS twenty-three feet,
the walls being painted rich Venetian
red, but that is almost concealed by
tapestry hangings. There is polished
oak dado running all around the bottom
of the walls of the room and pilasters OF
the same wood separate it off into pan
els. There are two long windows from
the ground to the ceiling to admit the
valued north light" and another fac
ing the marble mantelpiece, which is of
the most superb marble, exquisitely
carved.

The COM|QUE TO RUN

mep.

Capt. W. W. Brown has secured
license for his Theatre Comique. He
yesterday visited the city treasurer's
office, paid his $3.50, took the receipt to
Comptroller Calderwood and, of course,
his license was issued forthwith. The
council had no right to refuse him
license, he found it out, and acted &C
cordlngly.
Under the city charter liquor, employ
ment agency and plumbers licenses
are governed by the city council, but
there is still another class, under when
comes the theater license, with which
the council has nothing to 90.
If man wants a license Tor
a theater he simply pays his money
to the treasurer and the comptroller
is bound under the law TO issue the
license. Browns petition to the coun-
Gil, it has been discovered, was wholly
unnecessary. When he sent in the pc
tition, however, the council attempted
to ring in bluff on him and stand
him off until the license ordinance could
be amended so as to shut him out.
Brown, when his petition was denied,
consulted his attorney. and stralghtWay
found that he could get license IN
spite of the council. This he has done.
Before getting his license Brown made
an affidavit to the effect that he had no
intention of and would pledge himself
to refrain from selling any sort of wines,
malt or spirituous liquor in the same
building in which the theater is located;
The only way the Comique can be closed
now is for the police to get case against
him for selling liquor in the theater, and
thereby have his license revoked by the
municipal court. Otherwise the Com
iOue will run for year.

Live Frog in a Rock.

Salt Lake Herald.
Many well-authenticated stories of
the finding of live toads and frogs in
solid rock are on record, and that such
things are possible was demonstrated
here on Thursday afternoon. when a
workman engaged in Marley & Everilrs
lime rock quarry, north Of this city,
broke open large piece of rock, which
had been blasted out, and a frog hoped
out of pocket IN the center of the
stone. OF course, the occurrence
created tremendous sensation
among the w0rkmen, and opera
tiOns at the quarry were for
the time suspened, and the movements
of the frog were watched with great III
terest. The animal was somewhat
smaller than the ordinary frog and pre-
fectly white. Its eyes were unusually
large and very brilliant. but the frog
was apparently blind. Where the mouth
should have bee there was only a line,
and on the feet there dark, horny sub
stance. Mr.. Everill at once took charge
of the curiosity and put it in tin can,
but the frog died yesterday morning.
He brought 1t down town and it was ex-
amined with.interst by large number Of
people, and it was afterwards presented
to the museum, where it will be pre-
served in alcohol.

in all the people of the valley, and
eclipse all former efforts in Saltwater.
The following committees were appoint
ed: Finance, G. II. CARL, 81. P. Barclay,
Ed Lind; executive committee, E. W..
Durant, James E. Elliott, G. P. Hol-
combe: committee on boat races, Otis
Staples, James F. Elliott, Homer Scully:
committee OH foot races, II. McCusick,
James Malloy, Robert WEIGH; commit
tee on grotesque parade, Robert WEIGH,

THE ELECTRIC LINE.
Steam Will be Used on First Ave-
nue. for Some Time.

Steam Will be Used on First Ave-
nue. for Some Time.
From the present outlook it will be
several months before the First avenue
line will be changed from steam to
electricity. That the electric line will
be built, however, there is no doubt,
and considerable portion of the ma
terial is already on the ground. The
company expects to complete the Wash
ington avenue, University avenue, and
First avenue lines during the
season. In speaking on this
subject yesterday an officer of the
street railroad company said:
81 fancy we will complete all of the
other contemplated work this summer
before we tear up the motor tracks. We
are obliged to do this owing to the
heavy summer travel, which cannot be
accommodated by the Fourth avenue
line. But our patrons should be patient
and remember the vast amount of work
which we have before us this season.
AS soon as the travel abates somewhat
we will then go to work on the First
avenue line; by that time the power
house will be equipped, and we will
have all the lines ordered by The council
Incorporation this fall"
It is claimed that the engines which
run the dynamos for supplying the
Fourth avenue line are not powerful
enough to run both lines, and even if
the motor tracks we're torn up and the
new rails for the electric road laid the
necessary power could not be obtained
until the new power house is completed
and equipped, and it is not expected
| that this can be done much before

AnIndiana Prophet.

A friend at Onion City, Ind, sends
an account of a strange incident, which
may be succinctly stated as follows:
In railroad accident, which occurred
some two years ago, young man.. rela-
tive of my informant, was severely in
jured about the head, and the surgeons
who attended him thought he could live
only day or two. But, although con-
stantly in great pain, he survived and is
yet alive. About eight months after
the injury he began to talk very
strangely, and made many bold pre-
dictiOns, many of which have been
realized. One of his fathers horses
was estrayed, about which nothing
had been told him, but he de-
scribed the locality where the animal
was, III an adjoining county, and upon
this information it was recovered. A
neighbor who had been long time sick
was reported to be recovering. The
young man said he would die in the fol-
lowing week, and it was so. A score OF
things equally startling are among the
details, and still the prophesying con-
tinues. What is the explanation? Does
the mutilation of mans head enable
him to see the future with enhanced
clearness? U. b. +.

Tests of Spirit Return.

of things that no one on earth had
knowledge of. Harriet was never taken
into consideration by any of the family,
and the children heard nothing of her
except as they found her name on the
family records, as she, too, died at the
time of birth. But to make the test
more complete one of them said: Your

LOANED TOO MUCH CASH.
The Park National Bank, of Chi
cagO, Is Closed.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-The Park Ma
tional bank was taken possession of by
Bank Examiner j. S. Sturgess, and its
doors closed, this morning. The cause
of the failure is said to be the part the
bank took in furnishing funds for Will
Jams & Co. to complete the Fort Sher-
idan contract. The bank is one of the
smaller institutions of the city. The
liabilities are estimated at 100000. The
failure was not unexpected in banking
circles. Its president made consid-
cradle money in the hat bust
ness, and took charge of the
bank without, it Is said, sufficient
knowledge of banking. The result was
that its loan department was under
stood to be conducted less strictly than
conservative bankers consider neces-
sary, with the result of getting a rather
poor line of paper. The Park National
and it's clearings have been made
through the Commercial National. Its
New York correspondents, according to
the bankers almanac, is the National
Park bank.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The comp
troller of the currency said this after
noon that his action in closing the Park
National bank, of Chicago, was based
on the report of the bank examiner,
who has been Investigating it's affairs
for the past two weeks, and who is not
altogether satisfied with the char
acter of its assets. 1t is i'm
possible, the comptroller says, to tell
now the extent of the banks failure.
because of the questionable value of
some of the collateralS and securities.
The papers are of other cities, and not
being properly listed their value cannot
be estimated with any reliability. 1t
appears, the comptroller says, that the
bank has made large loans on doubtful
security, and that some of the officers
of the bank have been heavy borrowers
on it's account. The bank has capital
| Of 100000, and its deposits amount to
S5OO,OOO. A lawyer representing the di-
rectors had all interview with the comp
troller to-day, and requested all proper
indulgence in their efforts to put the
bank on it's feet again. The comptroller
says that a receiver will certainly be
appointed unless there is change of
management and liberal contribution
of new capital to put the bank on a
sound financial basis.
