BANK FAILURE.
Bad Loans by Its President Causes the

Bad Loans by Its President Causes the
Crash.
NEW YORK, March 23.-An official an
nouncement was made tonight that the
Washington National Bank, at No.
Broadway, would not open it's doors to-
morrow. The banks resources have been
loaned out by the President to two friends,
and the discovery of the condition was
accidentally made.
The bank is not a member of the Clear
ing-House Association, but cleared
through the Gallatin National Bank. un-
der rule OF the clearing house, which
went into effect January 1st. Banks
clearing in this way mUst submit their
accounts to examination by the clearing
house. m
To-day Bank Examiner Hepburn, rep
resenting the clearinghouse, appeared at
the Washington Bank to examine its af-
fairs. He soon discovered its capital I'M
paired. As soon as this announcement
was made, President Sherman, who has
been in charge of the bank, was pros
trated, but recovered sufficiently to in
form the directors that he had been too
liberal III lending money to his friends.
Two accounts have been discovered,
footing up Sl2l 600, that are probably total
losses. OneiS for 10000 secured by poor
and worthless collateral, and the other a
draft for S50,090 on John Silva, which had
been cashed by the President and ''hung
on the hook" 1t is said Silva has prom
ised to make it good tomorrow.
The bank had a capital Of $500, 900 and
deposits of $4,000.
The only officers present when the COM
plete announcement was made by the
Bank Examiner were Cashier J. L.
Granger and Director Sidney Tilghman.
The President had gone away, no one
knew where.
The President Of the Gallatin Bank at
once gave notice to his institution that he
would no longer clear for the Washing
ton bank. This news prevented any at
tempt being made to take up the losses.
Director Tilghman said: The bank
will be placed in charge of Bank Ex-
aminer Hepburn, and most probably
be wound up. l am positive every de-
positor will be paid in full.''
Cashier Granger said the developments
We're q surprise to both himself and the
Directors. None of them had any idea
that the President was involved in any
irregular transactions, and he could say
nothing about the details of the method
by which the funds were withdrawn.

Crow Indian Reservation Lands.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Secre-
tary of the Interior has announced that
he will receive bids from cattle owners
for the use ofa portion ofthe Crow Indian
reservation, in Montana, for grazing pur-
poses during the coming year. 1t is esti-
mated that the lands subject to lease
aggregate one and half million acres.
The bidders are expected not only TO state
the offers per head oS cattle, but also to
give the number of head to be grazed.
None of the lands which have been or
may be selected by the Indians for them
selves under the Severalty Act will be

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Theodore Havemyer Testifies Before
the Investigating Committee.


the Investigating Committee.
New YORK, March 23.-Theodore Hav-
'enmyer was before the State Senate Com
mittee investigating the. sugar trust again
to-day, and asked how the so-called trust
was formed. The witness said that in
1888, when his Brooklyn factory was
burned, he did not think it safe to re-
build in this country by a use of the pos
sible changes in the tariff. After some
onsideration, however, he did rebuild at
cost of S7,0OO,009 in eighteen months.
ey did not capitalize the company at
its full values. This would have placed
them at a disadvantage as to competitors
who were not forced to pay the taxes they
were compelled to pay. The capital was put
at half a million. Finally his brother and
himself decided to submit their interest
and stock to the trustees of the Sugar Re-
fineries Company and received therefor
a certain amount of sugar retiners' certifi-
Gates of stock.
He refused to state this amount. and
when asked the yalue of the plant when
they joined the trust, said he could not
tell. Besides the plants actual value. it
represented an experience Of generations,
and private patent process which could
not be valued. He would call the value
of the establishment now fifteen million
dollars, without considering the good will.
When asked what his reasons were for
joining all these other companies, Mr..
Havemyer said: 81 wanted to put the
other organizations on the same footing
with us. We were able to refine sugar
ten cents hundred cheaper than they
could. We had been repeatedly accused
of controlling monopoly These people
labored under the supposition that we
We're conducting our business illegally.''
Mr. Havemyer repeated continually
that he was anxious to give the commit
tee the fullest information in his power,
but the testimony given was as near as he
would come to his real reason for joining
the trust. In fact, he left it to be inferred
that the reason which mainly governed
him was the general welfare Of the public

fronted by his employer this morning as
he was about to take boat for Boston.
Worden returned to Roses house, and

CARRIED A BULLET THIRTY YEARS
A Colonel Had One Lodged in His Nose.
but II is Finally RcmoYed

After carrying bullet in his face for
nearly thirty years Judge Calvin E.
Pratt, of the Supreme Court, who re-
ceived it in battle in the war, has at last
had it removed, and will hereafter pre-
serve it outside of his person, says the
New York Tribune. Judge Pratt was a
Colonel commanding the Thirty-first
New York Volunteers when he was
wounded at Gaines Mill, Va, in 1862.
During that battle he was struck by the
bullet in the left cheek, an inch below the
eye. and it passed back of the nose and
lodged under the cheek bone close to the
nose. 1t was several days before the
wound was dressed.
For the last twenty-one years Judge
Pratt has had to spray the place where
the bullet lodged just above his nostril
twice day, and he has suffered more or
less from neuralgia and local irritation.
About three years ago DIR. S. Fleet Spier
tried TO remove the bullet, but found that
portion of the bone of the nose had
grown over it and it would be dangerous
to remove it. The case has been carefully
watched, and it was found recently that
the bone had degenerated and the bullet
could be easily reached and removed
through the nostril.

There are very few women who un-
derstand how to use soap-bark 1t is the
very best cleaning material In use
Nothing else cleans black silk or black
wooden dress SO satisfactorily Five
cents worth will clean an entire dress
1t may be purchased at any druggists
In the city or country, being commonly
used by all tailors in cleaning gentle
mems clothes It may be used to clean
almost any dark cloth, but it possesses
color enough in itself to be liable to stain
a delicate color. To prepare soap bark
for cleaning, pour about quart of boil
ing water over S cents worth of the
bark. Let it boil gently for two hours
and at the end of the time strain it
through piece of cheese cloth. Put the
liquor in clean pail. Have ready a
smooth board of suitable size and have
the dress to be cleaned already ripped,
shaken and brushed free from dust Lay
each piece of cloth one after another on
the board, and sponge it thoroughly on
both sides, rubbing carefully any spe-
cially soiled spots After all the cloth is
sponged, fill a large tub full of cold
water, and rinse each piece of the goods
up and down in it, one at time, so as to
remove thoroughly tine soap-bark. Wiring
the pieces through the wringer, lay
them in heavy, clean clothes-basket,
and, when all are rinsed and wrung out.
begin pressing the first that were rolled
up. Iron them on the wrong side, il
wooden cloth, till they are dry or nearly
so; then hang them on clothes-horse to
air for at least twelve hours. The cloth
should hang in place free from dust,
and when it is put away it will look like
new. If the dress to be cleaned is silk,
after thoroughly sponging it in the soap
bark, lay it on clean board and sponge
it off with clear, cold water on both sides
Wipe off all the excess of moisture you
can. Pin the smaller pieces of silk on a
sheet, and hang the sheet outdoors in q

but, of course, they have been able to

if there is anything from which the un.

German View. of Reciprocity.

In view of the fact that the English
papers of Rio, New York, and London
were prompt In their assertions that the
enforcement of reciprocity treaties by
the aid Of the Mckinley bill offered no
advantages to American trade, the fol-
lowing extracts from klIhIo1C's are in
teresting:
an consequence of the commercial
treaty, made by the Brazils and the
United States of America some time ago,
the Union of German Iron and Steel In
dustrials has applied to the Foreign Of
flee with the entreaty to use its influence
thus, that to German imports are to be
granted at least all those facilities of
customs granted at present to the United
States. Iron industry in North
America had developed during the last
years to such an extent that our German
industry, even at the same custom rates,
had had to meet with greater difficulties
every year in competing with North
America. The perfectly one sided and
unjustified favoring of the North Amer
lean import must have the unavoidable
consequence that our export to the 81 q
zils would be supplanted altogether.
The Commercial Chamber of Leipsic
addresses the imperial Chancellor on
this subject as follows, in part:
"Your excellency knows that the
United States-aiter having locked by
the Mckinley bill more than ever their
country against European import-have
begun, following the instigations of the
Pan-American Congress, to enter by
commercial treaties into closer relation
with other American States. By the
commercial treaty with the BraZils, and
which must be looked upon as the first
result of these endeayors, important
productions of the United States, and
not only productions of agriculture and
cattle-breeding, but also certain kinds
of hardware, especially instruments and
machines for agriculture, mining and
manufactures, are not only entirely
free of duty in the import to the Brazils,
whereas others, like cotton wear, in
elusive OF ready made garments, iron
and steel ware, leather and india rubber
goods, ETC., are to enjoy a reduction of
rs per cent against the general Brazilian
import custom tariff.
ain England, which is in the same con-
dition, commercial chambers and other
corporations representing the parties
concerned have addressed the Govern
ment with the prayer to do the neces-
sary steps in order to get commercial
treaty from the BraZils, guaranteeing to
English goods the same rights as to the
North American ones; and according to
intelligence received, Lord Salisbury has
promised to do all in his power to attain
this end"
This does not seem to show that the
Mckinley bill, with the reciprocity annex,
is quite so destructive of American
trade as has been represented

MICA is a curious crystal which
can be split into plates so thin that i
would require 200, 900 of them to make
an inch in thickness We have seen
these crystals in the Black Hills and
in New Mexico. where they occur in
veins of other matter much as bits Of
fruit occur in cake or pudding. From
1881 to 1884 double the amount was
mined that has since been produced.
About twenty-five tons only were
mined and placed on the market in
1889, and four-fifths of this product
was obtained in New Hampshire.
Mica is now mined in North Carolina
Virginia, in the Dakota Black Hills,
and in New Mexico. The output seems
to be controlled by syndicate. and is
limited, though the crystal is plentiful
and only requires labor, but not much
skill to get it upon the market. The
census report of 1890 shows that mica
costs only about one-third of the price
at which it sold 1883. The demand fol-
it is quite limited, and at the mines il
brought only a dollar pound on ar
average in 1889.
