FEATURES OF A RAPID AGE.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.I
The next to the last word in the Cen
'tury Dictionary is "zythum," which is de-
fined to mean an obsolete variety Of ancient
Egyptian beer. The last word of all is
"zyxomma,"a kind Of Indian dragon fly
with big head. So the dictionary comes to
an end and is bound up and set on book
shelves to get old. A dictionary is one OF
those things which do not improve with age.
Already this great lexicographical master
piece is beginning to get behind the times.
Indeed. it would takc daily dictionary to
keep quite even with these days. New
words represent new ideas and new dfscpv-
cries. And these grow every day in this
fruitful nineteenth century SOIL
One of the last words is "Kfnetograph.'
The Century Dictionary knows it not Prob
ably Mr.. Edison invented it. Mr.. Edison
certainly invented the thing it stands for.
kinetograph is to a kodak what a ma
chinegun Is to musket. tits camera which
takes half hundred pictures a second.
When these are developed on a continuous
ribbon and the roll is set to whirling, the ef-
feet is that Of a living picture. The gym
mast jumps over the vaulting bar as natural
as life The reader turns the pages OF his
book, knocks the ashes out Of his cigar,
blows gray cloud into the air-actually
moves. These pictures are the most re-
markable result of the science of pho
tography. How short time ago it was that
the ingenious Mr.. Daguerre was suspected
Of lunacy because it was whispered that he
was working at a magic process for catching
peoples shadowsl Indeed, it is-easily with
in the memory of men still living, that he
who would have his picture taken must sit
moeionless tor minutes, never daring SO
much as to take the smallest furtive wink
And now we have the kinetograph. trained
to take a thousand pictures in less than a
minute. These are the things which have
made amaZement obsolete. Nothing can
surprise US. Nothing is impossible.

Ha Blew out the Gas.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
There is one shining example in the
history of the congressional life of a
member who solved the problem of
how to make ends meet satisfactorily.
This individual is Major Martin, of
Texas, who blew out the gas the first
night OF his arrival in Washington.
The Majors living expenses in Texas
had ranged from 800 to $500 per an
mum. He resolved when thrust into
congress by his neighbors that he
would not permit the extravagances
OF fashionable life to daily
with him to the extent of more than
$500 IN excess Of that sum. In
short, society or no society, $1,000
per annum was the limit. He stuck
to his resolution through the four
years of his service. Upon the ex-
piration of his term he walked into
the Office of the sergeant-at-arms,
threw down hugo roll of bills and
asked for exchange on New York.
He stroked his goatee complacently
and remarked to the cashier:
"They say the oln man blew out
the gas, but l guess none of them
fellers that wear patent leather
shoes and drink that fizzin' kind of
wine can tote home any wad like
that"
The ''wad' contained SIT, 800,
saved in four years out of an aggre-
gate salary Of $4,000 and mileage.
This is where tht Major had his
laugh.

ONE HUNDRED

Cashier Bowden's False
Statements About
the Banks At

MENT
And the Stockholders as Weu-He
Deposstors 'ciU Hardly Get
Deer Twenty-Five Cents
on the Dollar.
Wilmington Messenger.

1t is no wonder how that Hanson
M. Bowden ran away. Yesterday
four weeks ago the First National
bank of Wilmington suspended and
closed its doors. On the night fol-
lowing the suspension, Bowden, the
cashier, left that city, and, SO far
as the general public is concerned,
his whereabouts is still unknown.
The departure of cashier Bowden
remains an unsolved mystery, but,
as a matter of course, his unexplain-
ed absence has given rise to grave
suspicious and no end of gossip.
Meanwhile, bank examiner Isaac
>. Alden came on from Washing
ton, to examine the condition of
the bank and now after nearly four
weeks ardous labor he has complet-
ed the investigation he was sent to
make. The examiner has doubt
less made his report to the comp
troller of the currency, but he has
not given to the press any informa-
ton as to the banks condition.
The Wilmington Messenger is
able to state, however, that the de-
positors will not be paid in full.
Ihls statement is authoritative and
comes from an official of the bank
who was briefly interviewed with
reference to the result of the inves-
tigation of the examiner.
"You can state," said the Mes
senger's informant, "that the ex-
animation discloses the fact that
the assets of the bank are not suffi-
cient to pay the depositors in full,
and, therefore there will necessari-
ly be an assessment made upon the
stockholders of the bank. The nomi-
nal assets would be more than ne
cessary to pay the depositors in full,
but among these is a large amount
of bad and doubtful paper which
the bank has been carrying for many
years. Still it is probable that
enough could be realized from these
assets to pay most all if not in full,
the liabilities of the bank to its de-
positors, if the amount of deposits
was as it was made to appear in the
statement of the cashier made TO
the directors at the time the bank
closed its doors, the amount of de-
posits being about 100000, accord
ing to that statement. The examina-
lion discloses the fact, however that
the liabilities to the depositors are
In reality little over 100000 in
stead Of 100000. This shows
clearly that the true condition of
the bank has been suppressed in the
cashiers statements rendered from
time to time both to the directors
and to the comptroller of the eur
rency and probably running back
for some time in the banks histo-
ry."
The amount of cash found in the
bank by the examiner approximates
$4,000, although it falls something
short of that amount. The avail
able assets OF the bank will pay the
depositors anywhere from 40 to 30
per cent. on their deposits, and
that whatever they get in excess of
that will be derived from an assess
ment on the stockholders. Even
with an assessment of 80 per cent.
On the shareholders the bank will
not be able to pay the depositorS
more than GO to 20 cents on the

IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. %.
Senator Manderson, president pro
tenn, presided in the absence of the
Vice e-President. The chair pre-.
sented memorial of the Municipal
Consolidation and Enquiry Associa-
ton OF New York protesting against
the bill recently introduced by re-
quest by Senator Hiscock for the
regulation of the bridges across the
Hudson and East rivers. Reports of
committees being called for, Mr..
Frye, chairman of the committee
on commerce, reported back the
bill prohibiting monopoly in
transportation Of meat products
and asked that it be referred to the
special committee On that subject.
1t was so ordered. Mr.. Morgan
from the committee on foreign af-
fairs reported a resolution for the
printing Of $4,000 copies of the re-
port on the Nicaragua canal project
laid before the Senate in the last
congress, ten thousand copies to be
for the use of the House and five
thousand copies for the Senate.
Referred to the committee on print
ing. Mr.. Sherman remarked that
he had bill to introduce on this
subject and he desired the solution
Just offered to be considered in con-
nection with this bill. He sent to
the clerks desk the bill of last ses-
sion amending the Act of Feb. 20,
1889, Incorporating the Nicaraguan
canal company by providing for a,
guarantee of the bonds of the COM
pany by the United States under
certain conditions. The bill as re-
introduced was referred to the COM
mittee on foreign relations. On
motion of Mr.. Dubois the Senate
passed a resolution calling upon the
Secretary of Agriculture for infor-
nation as to the progress of the re-
port OF the overflow and irrigation
inquiry and as to when formal re-.
port might be expected.
The Senate at 1890 went into
executive session on the motion of
Senator Sherman, and at l2:40 ad-
journed until Wednesday, January
9TH.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. The
near approach of the holiday sea-
son was indicated by the meagre at
tendance of members upon the ses-
sion of the House of Representa-
tives today. When the Speakers
gavel fell, only about one hundred
members were in their seats.
Chaplain Milburn referred in his
opening prayer to the recent death
of Senator Plumb. After the read
ing of the journal, Mr.. O'Ferrall
presented credentials of Mr.. E. E.
Meredith, of Virginia, elected to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Gen. ". H. F. Lee. Mr.. Mere
dith was then escorted to the bar of
the House by Mr.. O'Ferrall,
and the oath administered by
Speaker Crisp then announced
the standing, joint and select
committees of the House for the
ifty-second Congress, as autho-
rized by the resolution of last
Saturday. The announcement Of
the committees was received with
out comment. Mr. Rush offered the
usual resolution providing for the
assignment of clerks to the commit
tees for this Congress by the COM
mittee on accounts. Under the ar
arrangement made last Saturday Mr..
