Speaking of the Sunday opening Of
the fair Ex-President Harrison said:
'All questions in which the public is 20
deeply interested and which affect an
enterprise like the worlds fair should,
in my opinion, be settled as quickly as
possible. Whatever think personally
about Sunday opening, it seems to mo
when congress made the law and gave
an appropriation to the fair, that settled
the question" Further than this he
preferred not to say anything.
Mr.. Harrison said that Immediately
aster his visit to the fair he would go
East, spending short time in New
York. He will then go to his summer
home at Cape May, where he will re-
main two months, resting and doing q
little literary work. He viii return to
Chicago then to see more IF the faig.
A friend asked the ex-president whether
he would regume the practice Of law.
In reply he said: II have taken a few
retainers but have not opened an Office.
don't know that I shall ever have an
office again.y

Another Failure and Several Runs
in Progress.
OMAHA, June IA. There is a run on
every savings bank in the city, pre-
cipitated by the failure OF the McCague
Savings bank Monday, followed by the
downfall of the American National
bank, in which the McCagues are
largely interested. It had been unofi-
cially stated that the Clearing House
association would stand by its men,
bers. of which the American National
is one. but when the assets Of the bank
came to be examined they were pro-
nounced not good enough, and the aid
of the associated banks was withheld.
The ominous sign appeared on the
doors, and the crowd which had coll
lected became greatly excited. The
McCagues tried to assure the depositors,
telling them that

Of In deposits amounted to nearly
$N00, 900 since May 4, and this has badly
crippled the institution.
The Dime Savings bank compelled its
depositors to give 60 days notice of
withdrawal. This action. together with
the promptness with which other banks
met all demands, is believed to have
stopped what almost promised to be a
panic.

Run on the Largest Savings Bank In

KANSAS CRY, June IA run was
started on the Kansas City Safe Deposit
and Savings bank, the largest savings
bank in Missouri. Before the doors of
the bank were opened people were on
hand awaiting to get in, and as soon as
the doors opened a rush was made for
the paying teller's window. The bank
promptly met all claims, but as the
crowd grew large and it seemed evident
run was on, the bank issued a notice
to depositors that it would enforce the
rule requiring 30 days notice of the
withdrawal of depnsitG The crowd con.
tinped to grow large and police were
finally called to keep the crowd in
check. The action of the board of
directors in requiring 50 days notice
checked the run, but the crowd contin-
ned to grow until p. M, when all evil
dence of run had disappeared. The
bank is considered perfectly safe, and
has already stood two runs in the past
two years, one Of which lasted three
days.

CRUELTY of BUTCHER Birds
The butcher bird, that is familiar
to all rawches in California. is con-
sidered by the foremost ornitholo-
gists as the most sagacious bird in
America, says the San Francisco
Examiner. Thomas Oldham of
Lordsburg believes it is as cruel as
it is sagacious. Il have paid lots
Of attention to pair Of butcher
birds at my place for the last six
months" said he to us the other
day, 'and have learned many new
things about the habits of the Pc
culiar butcher bird. A pair of
them have followed me while plow-
ing for three or four days at time,
watching aud va ting for me to
pverturn a nest Of field mice.
when ] overturned nest they
will pounce down upon the little
mice and claw and peek them to
death. Then the mouse carcasses
are carried way to some neighboring
orange or lemon tree and spiked
upon the thorns. The birds seldom
eat the mice, but kill them from
mere love of excitement When
they can spike live mouse or even
a rat on thorn they futter about
and chatter with themselves as IL
they had great fun in seeing the
rodents squirm aud twist in the
throes of death.
But / am most surprised to see
how strong butcher birds are and
what they can life and fly away
with. have often seen toads that
have been impaled upon the thorns
of century plant upon my place
and left to die. The other morn
ing ! saw d butcher bird with
snake fully foot long. lie had it
by the back Of the neck and flew
with it up into an orange tree. lie
then nailed the reptile onto a thorn
and sat and watched it. He 'et the
snake wriggle almost of, when he
flew at it and would fix it on more
firmly. Because these birds are de-
structive to gophers aud rats they
are considered the friends of the

cavalry charge. 1t made no diff
ference how hot the weather was.
On long raids, the soldiers minds
appeared to be one thing. They
thought not of home, hunger, or
battles, but their horses. When
stopping to rest I've seen soldiers
sit in FROM Of their horses, and gaze
at them, wondering if they would
be able to carry them through.
Others were anxiously examining
their shoes or busy putting the
blankets under the saddles. Often
have | seen soldier Gil his bat with
water and take ID tohis horse. 1t
was common 20 see soldiers pulling
up grass, ears of corn, and apples.
and give them to their horses.
When a horse was wounded or ex-
hausted there was no hospital for
him. He was either shot or left to
die.
Once saw skeleton of a horse
sticking between two small trees in
West Virginia. l think know
how it got there. The horse no
doubt, was wounded and left to die.
He walked in between the trees to
keep the flies off his wounds, aud
there he died. Unknown in Balti-
