The First Public Bank

From the Detroit Free Press.
To Venice, the Queen Of the Adri-
attic" belongs the honor of having g.
tablished the first public bank Of
which any record can De found, such
an institution being unknown to the
ancients.
In I'LL the Republic of Venice was
very hard pressed for funds to carry
on the wars Ia which it was con thu.
ally engaged in order to uphold its
supremacy. AS consequence a tax
was levied on its moDeyed men, who
were promised perpetual annuity OF
per cent ON the loan thus coDtribu-
ted, the borrowers never dreaming
of the possibility of returning the
principal.
The leaders Immediately instituted
bureau for carrying out the proposed
plan OF receiving and paying out the
interest, and in q comparatively short
time it was erected aud into The hank
OF Venice. The exact date of its
founding is not known with any de-
gree of certainty.
Interest on the loan was promptly
paid, and the creditors of the repub
lie were subsequently paid in full the
sums they had advanced. COnse.
quently so popular did 1t become that
IL was found absolutely necessary to
transform the private bank into one
of deposit, that all classes might take
advantage of the accommodation
thus afforded.
In 1928 the interest paid by the
govern ment alone amounted to up,
ward of 100000 a year, and me
shares and credits of the bank were
so well supported that at all times its
bills were quoted and held at a pre-.
MUM above the current money of the
repu blic.
After many years OF prosperity, the
hank was given its death blow by the
French invasion of 1897. The free.
dom OF the city and the independence
of the republic vanished like a dream
before the invaders, and, as natural
consequence, the bank, having thus
lost it's credit and support, also dis
appeared In the general wreck.

as it stands to reason that doctor max

cover the whole field of Medicine and

PROVED FATAL.
Eugene w. crockett's' Injuries
Result in Death.

| On the evening Of July II last
Eugene w. Crockett was injured on
the head by a missile thrown by ont
Thomas Wood, q tough charac tel
about tc~n. At that time the in
jury ives not considered fatal. He
walked TO his home after the assault
and Dr. Cornish was summoned to
examine his woe,d;. but did not deem
it advisable to perform all operation,
rs there were no Indications Of the
skull being fractured! Up until the
Sunday proceeding, his death he ap,
peared, to be slowly recovering, though
in comatose state, aad early on the
morning of that day he went into
commissions. Drs. Cornish aud, Fran
men decided to operate, and removed
several pieces Of the skull, which had
been crushed in like an egg shell, the
brain prosruding. Notwithstanding
the wound being dressed with skill,
it was apparent to the physicians that
he had but Few hours to live, and
the end came on Monday at noon.
The following composed the coron,
ers jury, who were empanelled to in
vestigate the cause of death: J. Y.
Crothers, foreman Hugh Z. Campbell,
Ransom Gibson, John Woodey, Joseph
Randolph, d. N. Francis. The verdict
was as follows:
"We, the jury, being duly sworn
and impanelled to inquire into the
cause and circumstances of the death
of L, W. Srockett, do find that he
came to his death on the 9th day Of
July, 1891, in the town OF Flagstaff,
Coconino county, territory of Arizona,
10y an injury inflicted by the hand of
Thomas Woods, on the 18th day Of
July, 1891, near the saloon OF }. A
Vail, in the town OF flagstaff, county
of Coconino, territory Of Arizona. and
that tho said assault was wholly I'M
provoked and meditated."
