RIVERSIDE BANK FAILURE.

No New Developments in the Matter.
Mysterious Trnnsactions.
SAN BERNARDTEo, June 15.--I Special.
Nothing new WAS developed in the
failure OF the Riverside Banking COM
psny today. The vice-president gave
out the information that a statement OF
Bome kind would be issued this evening,
hut il was not given out UP to late
hour. A close Investigation proves that
the deposits were very heavy, as 1t is
known fact that the bank was doing as
much business as the other three banks
combined. The rumor that the iver-
side Trust compeny had q large sum OF
money on deposit in the collapsed bank
proved false, se they had only about
800 on deposit. Mr.. Fraser OF the
Trust company gave cut the information
today that they never had been in the
habit OF carrying large amount ia this
bank. He said they had AZ high as
$4,000 on deposit at times, but had
withdrawn 1t. He was Of the opinion
that the bank would pull through and
pay the depositors dollar for dollar
The failure has caueed no financial dis
turbance in the city, and the condition
OF the other banks was never better.
The usual amount of business WAS
transacted today and NO one seemed at
all uneasy In regard to money on deposit
in the other banks. The trouble Is
thought to have commenced when 0. L.
Dyer lost in water suit against j. O.
Evans and others. The condition OF
affairs is completely muddled, and
nobody seems able to get at the bottom
of the matter. The whole affair will be
thoroughly sifted when the bank ex-
eminer arrives. He is expected this
evening, but may possibly not get there
before noon tomorrow. No assignment
has been made and the people are won
dering why some head is not appointed
to take charge Of the detunct institution.
A. S, White, one of the stockholders,
went to Los Angeles today, but the re.
suit OF his visit could not be obtained
The fret firm to suspend on account o.
the failure is the Cotton Marble works
which shut down yesterday. Those on
the inside OF financial circles say thai

There are number of mysterious trans
actions that people cannot understand
and are patiently waiting for the banl
examiner to clear up.
RIVERSIDE, June 15.-[By the Aseocl
ated Press. Bank Commissioner G
Geberding arrived tonight from sar
Francisco to investigate the suspension
of the Riverside bank. He says a meet
ing of the bank directors will be helt
tomorrow afternoon to decide what shsl
be done. Clerks are preparing state
ment to be issued tomorrow. The man

A Musical Canine Critic.

A wonderful story of a French mu-
sical critic is related by persons who
profess to have been acquainted with
him and to have seen him III attend.
ance on musical performances. He
was dog, and his name was Parade.
Whether he had different name at
home was never known. AT the be
ginning of the French revolution he
went every day to the military parade
in front OF the Tuileries palace. He
marched with the musicians, halted
with them, listened knowingly to their
performances and after the parade dis
appeared, to return promptly ut pa
rade time next day.
Gradually the musicians became at-
tached to this devoted listener. They
named him Parade, and one or another
of them always invited him to dinner.
He accepted the invitations and was n
pleasant guest. II was discovered that
after dinner he always attended the
theatre, where he seated himself
calmly in corner of the orchestra
and listened critically to the music.
Ii II new piece was played he noticed
it instantly and paid the strictest at
tention. II the piece had fine. melo

best of his doggish ability, but il the
piece was ordinary and uninteresting

IT'S USELESS TO REGRET.
We've done the best we could, my dear,

We've done the best we could, my dear,
There's nothing to regret
We've taught the children many tr"'Ns
On which our hearts were set
And If against our old-time ways
They foolishly protest,
We need never regret, my dear,
That we have done our best.
There's many plan that's come to naught
There's many light gone out,
And ddisappointments, griefs and cares
Have hedged us round about
And many sad mistake we've made
Throughout our lives, and yet
We've done the very best we could;
IT'S useless to regret.
For out of evil good has come,
And out of darkness light;
And all wrong doing in this world
Some day will be set right
And though we have not reached the height
Attained by others, yet
We've done the best we could my dear;
'Tis useless to regret
We've tried to live like honest folks,
To do our duty well,
Gainst evil things to take our stand,
In goodness to excel;
SO Judge yourself not harshly, dear,
Nor at misfortunes fret
We've done the best we could, and so
'Uis useless to regret

Raising Foxes In Alaska.

For the purpose of perpetuating the
fast vanishing fur supply of Alaska
certain enterprising persons have gone
into the business of breeding blue and
black foxes on uninhabited islands
along that coast. When the seals have
been finally exterminated the world
may still look to that region for some
of the most valuable and beautiful
pelts known.
The Smeda Propagating Company
has recently stocked a number of ISL
ands with foxes, and the investment
is beginning to yield handsome re-
turns. The lands thus employed are
valueless for anything else, being
wholly barren. The breeding of blue
foxes has already been made very sue
cessful on one of the Pribylof Islands
that of st. George in Bering Sea.
Of their increase ten. Thousand have
been killed and skinned for market.
One advantage of-this industry is that
it involves no expense for the care or
feeding of the animals. All that is re-
quired is to let loose few pairs. Those
of them which are taken must at oil
times be trapped and not shot. Thus
they become exceedingly tame in the
course of few generations. In the
same region there are red, white and
''cross" foxes. Skins of the last named
variety, which is supposed to be a
cross between the red and the black,
are quoted at from So to IS wholesale.
The white and red pelts are worth only
about 81 apiece, because, though they
are very beautiful, they are much
more common and easily obtain
able Black foxes are so rare as to be
hard to procure for breeding purposes.

There are 22,0Gs, 900 soldiers in
arms in Europe. If all Long Island
were ill-ground, calculates the
New York Recorder, it wouldn't be
big enough for their field maneuvres.
If they were to march in n street pa
rade, files of ten abreast, it would
take the line of 2000 miles 100 days to
pass. a given point at fair marching
speed. In Indian file they would reach
around the world. In year they
would drink the Hudson dry for over
q mile of its length.
