acquaintance of Mr.. Oliver Brush

In the parsonage of the groom no

raised in our midst he early acquired
high standing in the community
and has ever since marched with
steadfastness of purpose in the line of
duty. AS business man his ability
is unimpeachable, as a genial, whole

Pacific Bank Suspends.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 80. - The
Board of directors of the Pacific bank
decided not to open it's doors this
morning. The direct cause of the sus'
pension is a notice from the clearing
house that the banks paper will not
be accepted hereafter. The Pacific
bank was organized in 1868 and its
present manager is r. II. Mcdonald,
Jr. 1t has paid up capital of 81 ,00O,-
600; nominal reserve, 10000, and de-
posits, $1,000, 900. Its loans and dis
counts are said to be about 50, 500, 900.
The failure seems to be due altogether
to recent money troubles and it is ex-
pected the depositors will lose nothing.

WASHINGTON wAIFs.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The news
of the sinking of the Victoria has
caused a profound sensation at the
navy department here. People who
saw the Blake, the flagship of the
British squadron, at the naval review
thought she was a great ship, but she
was of secondary Importance COM
pared with the Victoria, for while the
Blake was a large armored cruiser the
Victoria was full-fiedged battleship
nearly 1000 tons larger. She bore
about the same relation to the Blake
that our new battleships Indiana and
Oregon do to the armored cruiser New
York. The Camperdown, which dealt
the fatal blow, was the same size
as the Victoria. She re-
sembles the Uuited States steamer
Charleston in general appearance.
though twice as large. She has central
superstructure, but her decks fore and
aft are entirely clear save two barbet-
ties carrying heavy guns and her sides
are clad in impenetratable armor.
Naval officers here feel that one re-
suit of this catastrophe will be to en-
phasize in a striking manner the ter
rible efficiency of the ram as weapon
of naval offense, for although there
was no intention of using it extensively
in this case, when 1t is presumed the
ships were engaged in simple manoev-
uers, its availability in time of war
has been amply demonstrated.
