''Pa Crusta" is a valuable, original

toned walls, even where all other pro-
cesses have fuiled. The stains oil laths

FAILURE oFAsANK

! The American National Of Kansas
City In an Hammers Charge-Run
on q Savings Bank.
| KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Jan. 19.-The Amer
lean National bank of this city was taken
charge of this morning by F. E. Marshal,
national bank examiner for Missouri. The
capital stock of the bank is 81, 25O, 900. No
statement Of the liabilities or assets can be
obtained. The examiner would only say:
s'There is absolutely nothing to say, except
that the bank is in my charge"
During the early part of last week it be-
came known to the members of the Kansas
City Clearing House association that the
American National bank was in need of
assistance. A meeting of the association
was called, at which resolution was
adopted assuring the bank that upon a
proper showing assistance would be rem
dered to the amount of one million dol
lars or more. A committee consisting of
Messrs: Witten Mcdonald, president of
the Midland National bank; DR.. w. s.
Woods, president of the National bank of
Commerce, and F. P. Neal, vice president
of the Union National bank, were ap-
association. On Friday evening, n. P.
Simpson, president Of the American
National bank, requested a conference
with this committee. The conference re-
suited in a recommendation that the asso-
citation render the bank assist
ance. At a meeting of the Clear
ing House association on Saturday
evening the committee was in
structed to examine the security
offered by the bank and ascertain the
amount of money needed. Yesterday the
committee, calling to its assistance Exam
liner Marshal, examined the collaterals Of
fered as securities for the 81, 900, 900 or
more which the association agreed to loan
The committee reported last night that the
collaterals were not such as the banks of
the association would accept. This decis-
ion made the failure of the bank inevita-

thereupon assumed charge of its affairs.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Aristotle,s Constitution of Athen

Aristotle's Constitution of Athens
Found in Egypt.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-The Times announces
that the authorities of the British museum
have discovered among collection of
papyrus rolls, acquired recently in Egypt,
the text of Aristotle's treatise on the con-
stitution of Athens, from which many
writer's of antiquity quoted, but which has
hitherto been known only in detached
fragments. This treatise may now be seen
at the British museum, where fac-similes
of it are being prepared. The opening
chapter is missing and the concluding
chapter is mutilated, but otherwise the
manuscript is in perfect condition, There
is little doubt of the genuineness of the
manuscript because nothing was known of
the contents of the papyrus roll when pur-
chased. The Times says this discovery is
almost unprecedented in the whole history
of classical learning

Lee's Staff at the Annual Dinner of
the Confederate Veteran Camp.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The first annual
dinner of the Confederate Veteran camp
was held tonight at the New York hotel.
Colonel Charles Marshall, member of
General Lees staff, made the speech of
the evening. In responding 'Tn Memory
of General Lee," he touched upon the
final surrender of Lee to General Grant,
and in concluding said: ''There is
nothing in the history of the whole war
more magnanimous than the conduct of
General q. S. Grant at the final surrender
of the confederate army. When l think
of General Lee think of his great oppo-
nent General U. S. Grant" These
words were received with cheer
after cheer and shouts of "let us
build his monument" Thomas A.
Young sprang to a table and said he
wished to pledge the energy of every mem
Der of the veteran camp to complete the
monument of General Grant. His senti-
ment was loudly applauded. The entire
body then rose and in silence drank to the
memory of this great general of the north.
