ACT NO. 29. The Work of Clearing the 4OO-Yard Limit Will Be Begun Shortly
 and Vigorously. Direlict MarshaIs, Sheriffs and
 Constables To Be Given Their Choice Between the Execution of the Law and
 Grand Jury investigation.

A quiet but determined move is be- ing made by property owners in the vicinity of the Central school building to secure the enforcement of Act No. 29, requiring prostitutes and keepers of houses of prostitution to move out of the 400-yard limit, and sufficient en- couragement has been given to believe that the move will be made soon or there will be business for the mex, grand jury and it will not be confined to the prostitutes either. An interpre. tation was made yesterday of the dis puted meaning of the first section ol the law, which holds marshals, con stables, and sheriffs responsible for its execution, and it is announced ex cathedra that unless there is prosecu- ton of the prostitutes there certainly will be fun with the officers when the grand jury sits. This information comes from an authority sufficiently powerful to cause apprehension among direlict officials.
 A unique legal opinion was obtained yesterday on the situation. The only school building whose 400-yard limit is affected by the presence of prostitutes is the Central, and one at torney announced that since this building is incomplete it cannot be considered building and can there- fore have no 400 yard limit.
 Another legal gentleman than whom there is no higher authority both by reason of his attachments and position declares the opinion absurd. He asks if'lt is not building could an incendi- ary, who might burn it in its unfin. ished condition, be prosecuted for ar- son? He declares that building in course of erection is building in law, and that building being constructed for school purposes is within the mean. ing of the law in question and within that of all other law 8 school building

Metallic Tin on Cloth.


 A new process, invented in Germany, allows brilliant and flexible stratum of tin to be deposited upon cotton fiber. A paste is first made of the powdered zinc of commerce and white of egg and spread on the material by means of a brush. This is then coagulated after drying by current of superheated steam and the tissue is then introduced into bath of perchloride of tin. The metal precipitates on the zinc in fine ly divided state and after rinsing and drying the cloth it is passed through cylinders or calenders, which give bril- liance to the coat of tin. Beautiful metallic designs may be obtained in this way. It is stated that. the process may be substituted entirely for the or dinary method of ornamenting cloth with tinfoil.
 Little Miss Thackeray on Dickens.
 It is we'll known that Thackeray had the highest admiration for many of Dickens novels. He often expressed his opinion on the point in the strongest terms. Mrs Ritchie, his daughter, tells pleasant story show ing how this opinion was shared by other members of his family. She was sitting in a room in their house at Kensington talking to her father, the late Lord Tennyson being also of the company.

could not purchase favors from the Mex
can authorities. who placed him in jail
while they continued work on the case.
His accOmplice was finally discovered, a
poor laborer named Dionsio Galan, who
was paid $1,000 By VIllareal TO commit the
murder. The cause that led 10 the crime
was the construction of a wire fence by
Mcclellan around mis- ranch. shutting ont
cattle of Villareal from grazing on his
land. Upon GaIan's arrest Yillarenl made
full confession, and the case was tried
few months ago in the Court of First Juris-

TO twenty years each in the penitentiary.

THE EXPECTED HAPPENED.
1t Was Known That the Bank Was
Not Sound

CHICAGO, May 9.-As soon as the news
OF the trouble in the affairs of the Chemi-
cal National Bank became known on the
Worlds Fair grounds this morning anx-
ious crowds gathered around the branch
of the bank, which is the official bank of
the Worlds Fair. and located in the Admins
tratiOn building. Tie doors, however
we're tightly closed, and nobody could
learn anything as TO the prospects of
getting money, though simultaneously
with the notice of the difficulty in which
the bank was placed it was said depositors
in the branch bank have been fully Sc
cured.
1t was quiet crowd. most of the deposi-
tors being Americans, but some foreign
de positors anlmadver;ed somewhat se-
yerely on the exposition management for
giving official sanction 10 a bank, which
they took for guarantee.

Gated matters.
As anticipated. the main bank was also
closed. The capital of the bank is 81 ,0OO. .OO0.
1t has deposits of something over 5000 uO0.
II is expected the depOsitors will be paid
in full. The bank is not member of the
in financial circles. Poor Judgment in
making loans and the monetary strln-
gency are the causes of failure.
President Higinbotham of the local
Worlds Fair Directory and President
Palmer of the National Commission de-
clare the management has done nothing to
make the Worlds Fair responsible for the
debts OF the Chemi nj National Bank.
Bank Examiner Sturges says that it is
not bad failnre. but from what he knows
so far he thinks it is complete one, to
the point that resumption of business is
not at all like. He gave an assurance that
depositnrs would not lose anything.
President Curry said that depositors
would receive 100 cents on the dollar, and
within four or five days would be paid at
least onc-third OF their claims. The heavy
runs of Saturday and Monday were the
cause Of the suspension, and had they had
two days more they would have tided over
the difficulty. The general opinion among
financial men is that the trouble came
! through bad management and poor invest
ments.

The action of the court was not jnSti-

the public outcry must be silenced by
seeming justification of the court outside
of the facts. There is an idea in the
minds OF many that at the time of my
wife'S death desired marriage with some
other woman. Such person was never
found. nor does she exist. No one had so
