A New Flower.

Mary D. Welcome, the Yarmouth (Me.)
aorist, says the flower that will be most
wondered at and admired among the
new fashions Dame Nature has intro
duced this year is the entirely new type
of zinnias, called the crested and curled
zinnias." They originated as sport"
on the trial grounds of Henderson, among
a multitude of varieties imported from
Europe with those of home growth. They
have petals curiously twisted and curled,
after the style of some japanese chrysan-
themums and are SO unlike the well
known zennia no one would suppose them
to belong to that plebeian family, origi-
nally so unrefined as never to be intro
duced into the aristocratic circle of the
floral kingdom.
Dame Nature took them in hand not
many years ago to see what she could do
to improve their habits and with marked
success. The elegant Tom Thumb, Pig
my Mexican, Zebra, in stripes Of red,
orange, pink, scarlet, white, etc; mo-
sale, with foliage marbled and dotted
green and gold-these We're some of the
new types introduced, and now we have
them dressed in all colors, crested and
curled for the ballroom. What NEXT

The Illinois Legislators.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 12.-Representa-
tive Movers death was known before the
house met, but it was hastily arranged
that it should not be publicly announced
until the house had acted formally on the
senatorial apportionment bill. The bill
was called up first thing and final action
taken as soon as the Republicans had
spoken against it for the hour granted
them The Democrats We're all on hand
and the vote was - yeas and no nays, Re
publicans declining to vote. The house
then adjourned inhonor of Representa-
tive Meyer. The deadrepresentative had a
first-class war record, and though wound
ed never applied for a pension.
The senators also adjourned, and
most of them went home.

FRILURE or AN INDIANA BANK.
Capital at indianapolis shut Up by n Run
Another at Chicago.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 13.-There was in
tense excitement when it was known that
the Capital National bank of this city
had closed its doors because of run
which was started by depositors when they
heard that the bank was hit by
the Chemical bank failure at Chicago
The Capital had deposit in that bank of
oveI $4,000. The actual liabilities
of the Capital are about s1.O30,O00. The
paid up capital stock is 100000 and the
assets are estimated at $3.50, 600 NJ. b
Wilson was president, and Charles b.
Doherty cashier. The failure may endanger
the solvency of banks at Nincennes, Sulli-
van and Gas City in which Wilson, Doher-
ty, and others are large stockholders and
between which and the Capital intimate
relations existed. 1t is believed that the
Capital will pay 100 cents on the dollar.
CHICAGO, May 12.-Another bank has
closed its doors here, the Columbia
National the cause in this case being
the pressure for ready money, which
resulted in its customers drawing out their
funds to the lowest possible amount. The
bank had plenty of securities, but could
not realize quickly enough to supply the
demand for cash and-there you are.
TIL run extended over several days past
and the president, Zimri Dwiggins. says
the doors were closed to protect deposltors,
all of whom will be paid in full
WASHINGTON, May II. - Comptroller
Eckels has designate d. A. Cook, bank
examiner for Illinois, outside of the city of

Pittsburg, to proceed at once to 1ndianap-
oils and take charge of the Capital Nation

Growth of Electric Traction.


The growth of electric traction in this
country is one of the most marvellous
Developments of the century. A leading
street railway journal draws attention
to the fact that in the past five years the
mileage of street railways operated by
electricity has increased from so miles to
over 6,0OO miles, which is a greater mile
age than that of all the other street rail
ways in the country operated by both
animal and other forms of motive power.
Of this large total nearly one-third was
built in 1892. No estimate has yet been
given of the aggregate increase in value
in suburban property that has been i'm
proved by the running of new electric
lines, but the amount must be enormous,
as large proportion of late installations
have been in suburban districts, partic-
ularly in the east.
In July, 1890, the street railway mileage
of the country was $3.50 miles. AT the
present time it reaches a total of IL $50
miles, or an increase of 5000 miles in the
past % years, During 1892 there was an
additional increase of ,066 miles. Some
of these lines have been introduced in
the most crowded parts of large cities,
where it is admitted that cable traction
would be more economical. The reason
for this lies probably in the fact that it
would be far less economical to change
from electric to cable power simply for
the short distance than to retain the sys-
tenn already in operation.

1887. He served in the Florida and other
Indian wars, in the Canadian border dis
turbances and was chief of staff to General

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Star says
that men who have talked with the presi-
dent and have observed the political drift,
would not be surprised if there should be
before long radical reform in the present
methods of patronage distribution. The
scheme indicated is that congressman are
to be refused recognition solicitors of
appointments, the president to call upon
them when he wants their advice. 1t is
thought that the idea would be popular
with congressman, who are getting tired
of the business any how and We're really
relieved to a degree by the civil service
law

Accidentally Knocked Down by n Panther.

Accidentally Knocked Down by n Panther.
On the anniversary of Washington's
birth Alexander Rawles, a prominent
landowner and stockman of Anderson
valley, was accidentally knocked down
by large S-foot panther. Rawles'
bruises are now reported serious. His
dogs had freed the beast, and Rawles
went to neighbours for gun. He could
find only one cartridge, but with this he
returned and shot the panther, but only
slightly wounded it. The animal sprang
from its perch midst the dogs and soon
stretched one in death. Once in bound
ing backward to avoid the other dogs
the panther accidentally came in contact
with Rawles, who was knocked down.
The panther entirely ignored Rawles
throughout the fight, giving the dogs its
undivided attention, although before and
after his fall Rawles vigorously bella
bored the beast with his gun barrel,
which was ruined in the conflict. The
panther's death finally resulted. When
Rawles was knocked down, his side
struck stone, producing serious inter
nal injuries.-Cor. San Francisco Chron-
