neither the use OF seven as a numb Der

These are arranged in row along

may be repeated again and again with
out the uuinitiated being able to tell
correctly how it is accomplished.
The way it Is done IS as follows: Let

The whole secret is this: The person
with the pointer IS careful to touch

tion. and the preceding Jones out Of Or

two performers; thus, if the sixth
book had been agreed upon,
the pointer would touch five in the row

book at the first question, the first at
question two. the second at three. the
fifth at four, the fourth at five, and then
the sixth at question six. being the one

very easv for him to touch. say. three

player to guess the wrong one.

A Number of "Old and Very Reliable
Institutions Go under"
Chicago, June 6.--In spite of the fact
that the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank
remained open till o'clock this morn
ing to give the anxious depositors a
chance to draw their funds, a new line
began to form before o'clock this
morning, and at 10 the usual hour for
opening, between 1900 and 1900 people
were waiting at the doors with their
savings books. The Bank is considered
absolutely sound. The assets are fig
ured up at over s2S,OOO,OOO, and its
stockholders are estimated to be worth
in the aggregate fully $150,OOO,OOO. At
the other savings banks the runs
which began yesterday seem to have
increased in size.
During the time when the run on
the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
was hottest this afternoon, Philip d.
Armour, the millionair packer sent
out some of his clerks TO bring In
to his office hundred or more Of the
most excited depositors, mostly wo-
men. To these Mr.. Armour made a
brief speech, assuring them that the
bank was all right, and adding that
Armour G. Company VII guarantee to
each of them the full amount of their
deposits. IF any Of you are not sat
isfied with this, let him speak up, and
1 will give you your money" he said.
Two women asked for the amount of
their deposits, and were Immediately
paid in full, while the remainder went
away satisfied

doors this morning They were Grip

show strong assets in excess Of liabil-
tiles, but could not realize upon the
assets in time for the whirl. The
other banks are being subjected to a
severe run, but seem to be standing
the strain well.
At lis this afternoon a q quieter feel
ing prevails, and there is nbthing to I'M
dicate that heavy run is being made
on any Of the banks. Since closing its
doors, the Washington National has re-
ceived a large amount Of money, and
more is expected tomorrow. It is
thought the bank win Immediately re-
sumo.
Spokane, June 6.-Three good banks
closed their doors today, three banks
with assets largely in excess Of liabil-
