THE "SMOKER" A TUNNEL.

The sun is shut from sight,
The shadows deeper grow,
Suddenly fails the night
OF darkness like blow.
And, as though tilmy mist
Blossom the clustering stars,
Midst viewless amethyst
GLOW ember-tipped cigars.
Lily by the Headlights glare
The steam-wreaths, past the pane
Like clouds through moonllt air
Fly, and are lost again.
10! from the waning dark
ID i'm shapes are slowly drawn,
And now each ruddy spark
Dies in the sudden dawn.

He says in those the whites have gain

of stroll about the town, dropped into beer gar

were the guardians of the honor of the
business world. They had in their
keeping and under their control that
most sensitive of all plants-credit. A
large percentage of the worlds business
was done on credit basis. The bank
was the foundation of that credit and
confidence was the cornerstone.
The growth of banking in California,
Mr.. Brown said, had been remarkable
during the last decade. On July 1, 1880,
the whole number of state incorporated
banks was seventy-eight, while on the
LIST OF July, 1891, the number was 1879.
Eleven years ago the seventy-eight
banks reported $25, 127, 140 as paid-up
capital and $40, 27S, 2S0 due depositors,
making the total resources Sis, 575, 500.
On July LIST last the 1S9 banks reported
paid-up capital OF $49670, Ala and
$165, 776,311 due depositors, the total re-
sources aggregating 1924, SAT ,141.
The report Of the executive council
called attention to request by r. M.
Widney, of the University bank of Los
Angeles, asking to be heard at the Octo-
Der meeting on the subject of A Nation
al Currency Plan, and, after reviewing
the circumstances attending the presen-
tation of the subject ut the Los Angeles
meeting, reported in favor of denying
the request.
Mr.. Widney addressed the convention,
claiming that his submission of the sub
ject at Los Angeles had been miscon-
strued. He repeated the resolution Of
fered at that time in favor of uniform
standard of national currency. He said
the bankers should certainly favor such
a system, and he therefore urged that
the report denying his request for hear
ing be rejected.
The report was adopted.
Secretary George H. Stewart, cashier
of the Los Angeles County Bank, pre-
sented his report, showing the associa-
ton membership to be 151.
The convention will hold sessions to-
day and tomorrow, and on Saturday the
members will visit Palo Alto.

would be sufficient to controvert such
an assumption. Would anyone dictat.
ing a check as the Shorbs are alleged to
have done, indicated to the person writ
ing it an amount in odd dollars and
cents? Mr.. White thought the claim
preposterous.
The Shorbs did not get all the old
mans property either, for there remains
about $4,000 of his fortune which is in
vested in the northwest.
Col. Wells began the closing argu-
ment for the plaintiff at IL o'clock and
had not concluded when court ad-
journed.
He announced that he would review
the evidence at length, because he
thought it proper to present the facts as
they exsist. He regarded the case the
most important one that has been be-
fore any court in this county for ten
years. The facts in the case
show beyond any doubt that
the Shorbs conspired to get
Harris's money, and he went over the
evidence very fully, pointing out the
points made by the plaintiff, which he
said were but feebly attacked by the de-
Tense.
Mr.. White had treated the jury with
an eloquent address. That is happy
faculty possessed by Mr.. White, and he
knows how to deal in glittering general
tiles when he has weak case, said the
colonel.
The plaintiffs case is strong one, be-
