PARIS, March l9.-Ths Banuus Generate

day. One OF the directors has committed
suicide. swo have absconded and one has
been arrested. The bank speculated IN
French, Spanish and Russian securities.
The liabilities amount TO "a. 600, 600 francs.
and the assets TO 5000. 900 francs. The fail
ure had no effect on the bourse.
CAUSE OF TIE SUICIDE.
The reason assigned for the suicide and
flight is that the authorities we're about Co
institute legal proceedings against the di.
rectors Of the bank on charge OF fraudu-
lent bankruptcy and Of obtaining mouey
under false pretenses. The bank dealt
la Rely in the French national loan of
1891, and received subscriptions To the loan
for upward OF 1000, 900 francs. II is alleged
that instead at applying the money th us OBJ
tanned to the purchase OF shares of Ian, the
directors of the bank used the funds for
other purposes, gensr rally in industrial and
mining speculations.
EXPOSURE APPROACHING.

Of the concern amounted to only .OO0. 900
francs, the hank would be placed in
a very embarrassing condition when the
time arrived for settling with the creditors
The bank did Considerable business, its
operations being spread over a large part

Samuel NJ. Sheetz, the new landlord
of the Central hotel has greatly i'm
proved the interior of that establish
ment. After u thorough overhauling
each chamber has been handsomely
and brightly papered, new y carpeted,
curtained and furnished with spick-
span new and prettily finished and
polished furniture and entirely new
bedding. Altogether, it does not look
like the same place. The Office, parlor
and sample room are also renewed, and
in the diningroom new tables, chairs,
china and silver ware glisten with
welcome to those who really reckon
cleanliness az only one degree below
godliness. Even IN the kitchen a
mammoth new cookery has been in
troduced, and the JOURNAL is assured
that the bill of fare, based on the very
best the days market affords, is
changed accordingly and pre- pared in
the most thorough and appetizing
manner. To the extent of its space
the Central is really a complete hotel.
Mr.. Sheetz is a prince Of good fellows
and he is backed in his efforts to give
the travelling public satisfactory en-
tertalnment by corps of good cooks,
walters and other assistants. The fine
livery service of John S. Kidwell is
also at the command of the hotel and
its guests.
George Wehner has commenced the
erection of Il 30x50 feet business build
ing on the corner of Broadway and

Mayor Wilson is lowering the

ORIGINAL POETRY.
Kate.

Kate.
Love does not come when thou dost bid him,
Nor yet Gepart when thou dost say
"avaunt"'
And more and more, if thou dost chdc him,
dear,
The secret chambers of thy heart will
haunt
Then tell me whatit is thou woudst forget?
Art weary ere the play Is scarce put
on?
Art sorry that the players ever metz
Hearts to such time ue'er beat in unison
And tell me further-what "pay" shall it
be?
Wilt thou with thy fond "Romeo" idly
toy?
Or wilt thou love him so deliciously
That he and thou wilt make one? oh, such
joy
To feel upon thy cheek his sutry breath
To see his brave eyes glowing close to
thine;
Their lightnings to thy fears send instant
death
Thy lips to his yield up thier luscious wine
If thus the play" shall run, then haste
thee, sweet,
Thy Romeo tremblcs and forgcts his
part
Fearful lest thou stay'st not thy flying feet
Awhile to nestle close, close to his heart

SchOnfapber.

There is ghost haunts the brain of
Schonfarber, J. G. He thinks the
JOURNAL is ga subsidized organ of
monopoly"
Such tributes make the great paper
proud, but it weeps the tears of IN
availing regret when it reflects that
the returns do not tally with Schon-
farber's vote.
And then we smile again when we
consider that SchoHfarber cannot help
thinking the JOURNAL is a gteat paper,
else monopoly" would not, could not
''subsidize" it,
1t is great but immensely uncon-
scious encomium Schonfarber infiicts
upon us.
He also says:
Oh! but | forgot, we were not going to
quarrel any more, were we?
The JOURNAL does not remember an
agreement of that nature.
Schonfarber must have made it
with himself, and the Book of Hello
gopholus saith:
He that entereth into league with him
self hath the devil for partner.
The JOURNAL. therefore, cannot
think Of letting Schonfarber off Sc
easily.
1t cannot renounce the fun of roast,
ing him.

The Difficulty.

Arbitration in labor troubles is one of this
country's greatest needs, but Legislators don
seem to realize this, or if they do, they fail to
act. There are many laws not as important as
one that provides for arbitration, but it seems
impossible to get the legislators to approach
the subject with determination to con-
summate it.-Lonaconing Rerje~.
Well, now, the way to get at that is
this:
Let the Rerieo prepare bill pro-
viding the machinery for arbitration,
including especially some sort Of a
penalty for not abiding by the find
ings of arbitration.
When the Recier has done this
especially when it has discovered a
means of making men work when
they do not want to work, the sailing
will be plain.
1t is this problem that has made
legislators slow and skittish about fab
ricating and adopting this and several
other quixotic schemes to make nosing
inquests into other peoples business
respectable, formal, legal proceeding
Worse than all, there is danger in
many instances Of changing the rod
of starvation into submission" from
the hands of the so-called heartless
employing class to the infexible talons
of the law.
Which, either as "a condition or a
theory" nobody wants in the law,
even by implication.

The Citizens Should Do 1t.

The Fire Department sent to agents
of fire insurance companies invitations
to contribute to the picnic fund. Only
one response has been received and it
is appended:
The companies do not contribute to fire
companies in this country, because they can
not afford to. There are several thousand
fire departments, and you can see what a
great sum it would amount to if they started
to do it.
Wegive your citizens lo'cer rates because of
your department, and thus contribute and
encourage them to support you in the pro-
lection Of their property. Yours truly,
