the officials fixing the day at twelve

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-The con-

Francisco is that the Pacific Bank was
compelled to suspend payment because
it made unwise investments in securi-
ties from which it could not get out
its money and that the Peoples Home
Savings Bank was compelled to sus-
pend because it had not on hand coin
enough to stand the run sure to fol-
low the announcement of the suspen-
sion of the Pacific Bank, its business
associate.
In ether words, the failure of the
Pacific bank was not more due to the
present financial troubles than to a
fundamental weakness in it's manage
mept. The furry seems to have passed

ICOAlMUNICATED


There has been good deal of indig-
nant comment lately among the men,
bers of the Old Dominion Boat Club
and the public, who are Immediately
concerned, about the criminal negli-
gence of some party who has placed in
jeopardy the lives of all persons who
travel on the Strand after dark. In the
middle OF this public highway, half u
dozen large holes, fully five feet deep,
have been dug, and are left standing
day and night without any guard or
warning light, that is required by the
city ordinances. The life of any one
who passes along the Strand between
Prince and Duke streets is in great
danger, and the attention of the proper
official should be given to this before
serious accident results.
1t is in peculiarly inapt and dan
gerous place, from the fact that all
members of the boat club must pass
there in coming and going from the
club house, and furthermore because
there is no electric light within rea-
sonable distance Itseems to every one
that it is an act of gross criminal careless
ness, and the perpetrator should be
hauled up BEFORE by his gross negligence,
he mains any one for life.

some wise men. This country affords all
