DON'T CROWD The SCHOLARS,
Shall Children Study Out of School
Hours Ruined Eyes, Headache.
Nervous Collapse 90 Physicians
Advice,

1t is an old remark that boys who shine at
school seldom make the greatest figure when
they grow up.
If one thinks over the prize boys who
went to school with him ho will find that
many suddenly stopped short and turned out
great ounces at last, while others, not 50
forward but with high health and spirits,
have turned out the prize men and women Of
the world.
Too many studies constant examinations,
and study out of school hours, ruin the
nerves, make pale faces, weak eyes and
ruined hopes.
At the first intimation Of overwork and
exhaustion, the safest and surest nerve tonic
for children, young and old, is Pnine's celery
compound, a remedy that physicians pre-
scribe and educators recommend, because it is
the prescription Of one of the ablest of
physicians and instructors, Prof. Edward f.
Phelps, NJ. d., LII d., Of Dartmouth college.
Watchful fathers and mothers appreciate
this. Never have testimonials from so many
grateful parents been so unrestrictedly given
as to Paines celery compound. 1t has
entered more homes during the year through
out the United States than any other remedy.
So repeatedly has it succeeded in curing
nervous weakness, sleeplessness, and lassitude
that it has gained the confidence Of all
physicians, hosts of mothers and many
hundreds of children. Try it.

The Financial Gibraltar OF the Cream
City Collapses.
MILwAuKEE, Wis, July 25.-The Wis
consin Marine and Fire Insurance bank,
commonly known as Mitchell's bank,
has closed. A notice on the door says |:
"Closed on account OF the monetary
stringency."
A statement on the frat of July
placed the resources at $8.949, ,344; liza
bilities-due depositors, 81 $40, ,504; due
others, $500, 900. The bank has capi-
tai OF $500, 900, of which John L. Mitch
ell holds $685. 800; David Ferguson,
$166, 600; Washington Becker, $40, 900 /;
). B. Murphy, 100000; undivided
profits, $75, ,84l.
Milwaukee people had become i'm
bued with the idea that this old bank
was Gibraltar of finance and could not
credit the report that it was closed. 1t
was the general belief that whom all the
other banking institutions had disap-
peared from the face of the earth the
bank which Alexander Mitchell founded
would continue to do business at the
old stand. Cashier Murphy says the
bank has been subjected to q heavy
strain and the end was inevitable, but
that the bank was not insolvent, and q
little time to meet every liability
vas all that was needed. Washington
Becker has been appointed re-
ceivsr. The city OF Milwaukee
has 81, 900, 900 in bank and will probably
have b. temporarily suspend payment.

AT INDIANAPOLIS.

Two OF the leading Banks of tho City
Closed.
INDrANAPo4s, July 25.--The Indianap-
oils National bank and the Bank Of
Commerce did not open their doors this
morning.
The Indianapolis National was consid-
cred one of the strongest banks in the
city, and was designated the depository
of the United States. Its president,
Theodore Haughey. last night consulted
with the other banks, having previously
secured $50 900 to tide him over yester-
day. He said the failures at Louisville
and New Albany had aggravated the
local situation, and 1t was thought best
to suspend.
The Bank of Commerce has not been
one OF large deposits, and the failure
will not have much effect locally. Its
indebtedness is said to be $150,000. A
heavy run was made on the Indiana
National.
The statement of the Indianapolis
National bank, July 18th, showed: Re-
sources. $2,3l3, 1854; liabilities-due de-
positors, 81, ,194 ,5S6; United States de-
posits. $l93, ,100 deposits of United
States disbursing officers, $l06,q00; due
other national banks, $l46, ,403; due
state banks, $73,579; notes and bills re-
discounted, s51, 1877; bills payable. 1885,
600; capital stock, 100000; surplus,
$100, 900; undivided profits. $44, ,446.
While the indianapolis National bank
was a United States depository, but
$3439 was tied up.
Cashier Rexford was asked If the
withdrawal OF funds by country banks
was not largely responsible for the sus-
pension.
"The stringency Of the times" he
replied. "hRs greatly reduced those bal
ances. At this time of year they have
heretofore been large"
The real trouble OF the Bank of Com
merce began at the failure of the Pre-
mier Steel company. There have been
drafts on the bank ever since then. The
publication of Depauw's failure hurried
things along. The failure OF the Indian
apolis National shut off their chances Of
getting help and the bank had to close.

A SAILORS RIOT AT SAN PEDRO
YESTERDAY.
Three Non-Union seamen Brutally
Kicked and Beaten-An Exciting
Episode in the Locsl Court
of Justice.

SAN PEDRO, July 25.- Union and nom
union sailors had It hot and heavy here
today with the result that three nom
union men were brutally and shsmefully
kicked and beaten by a mob Of union
men. The trouble commenced late last
night when the entire non-union crow
of the steamer CosmQpoiis were arrested
while asleep in their hunks, for the
alleged beating of union man earlier
in the evening. They were carried of
to Jail with barely time for dress
ing. The case was tried today
amid great excitement, the two
factions being upon the verge OF free
fight several times. and once especially,
when Attorney Savage called non-union
Shipping Agent Davis liar and dashed
glass into his face. Davis retaliated
by hitting Savage in the face. The
usual gang of union men then rushed
into the arena and knocked Davis down,
but did no further damage. The Co.'S
mopolis crew wers dismissed and the
chagrined union men set upon them
outside the court house, rendering three
OF the non-union men nearly uncon-
scious by kicking them in the face. The
police again arrested the non-union men
and dragged them bruised and bleeding
to Jail.

Aworld's Fair Excursion Train Wrecked
In Oht0s

AWorlQ'o FAIR Excurst0n Tram Wreckou
CLEVELAND, o., July ga worlds
fair excursion train on the Pittsburg and
Western road was wrecked near Akron
this morning. Three coaches, derailed
by the spreading OF the rails. were
thrown over an embankment.
In all 81 pereone were seriously hurt,
three fatally. Physicians we're at once
sent from Akron and the injured taken
to tho hospital in that, city. The acci-
dent Was due to defective tres on sharp
curve.
Most of the passengers were from
Washington and Baltimore. The fatally
injured are J. II. Merrick, Humeston,
Ia. Judson Punt, Philadelphia; Leta
Hunt, Baltimore.
1t is marvellous that lot OF people
were not killed. A sandy roadbed,
rotten ties, heavily loaded train and
fast running over a sharp curve are the
causes of the wreck.
There were nearly 400 passengers on
the train, and the three rear coaches
left the track, being precipitated down q
10-foot embankment. Two OF the
coaches turned over and over, and that
the inmates escaped with their lives is
considered wonderful. Many were
pinned under the wreck for some time
and all suffered painful cuts and bruises

HOME RULE DISCUSSION.
A FIGHT OVER GLABsrONEs FL

Chamberlain Deserved CastiEa.
TOMB sifour Defends His
CoIleague.

LONDON, July 25.--Ih the commons
this evening the committee of the whole
continued the discussion Of the financial
proposition Of the home rule bill. John
Redmond, leader OF the. Parnellites.
moved an amendment that the Irish
legislature ehculd rcce;se immediate
control of the Irish taxes, as proposed
originally by Gladstone, instead Of being
forced to leave the taxes in the hands OF
the British for six years, as stipulated
in the new clause. Gladstone said the
government could not accept the
amendment, and after some acrimonious
debate 1t was rejected.
Then Joseph Chamberlain moved to
make permanent the provisional ar.
rangement that Irish taxes should be
collected for six years by the imperial
government. In speaking to the motion
Chamberlain denounced the govern
ment for trucking to the Nationalists.
When Gladstone rose to reply the
house WAS flied. Gladstone began by
comparing Chamberlain's attitude to-
wards the bill with the proyerbial atti-
tude of the DEVILS advocate whose
junction it was to seize eagerly on every
human failing and to misconstrue every
thing capable of misconstructinn. This
fling at Chamberlain pleased the Irish
members immensely. After repelline
the charge that the Irish might eventu-
ally do as they pleased under the pro-
visions of the bill, and that 1t in reality
settled nothing, the premier, In voice
of anger, said:
tine right honorable gentleman has
brought into public life the policy of
continuing and deliberately with the
utmost confidence in his own infallibii-
ty ascribing to men who have right to
stand on the same level with him !;
who were at one time his col
leagues and supposed to be his
friends, motives for their acts which
they indignantly disclsim. PROLONGED
cheers.] By what right OF infallibility
is he enabled to pronounce on the state
of things in Ireland six years hence +?
The Irish members in the house now
number 103, yet nobody will contend
that thew are omnipotent They will
return in q diminished number after tho
passage of the bill. Yet we hear the
argument that they will prevail against
$40 English and Scotch members."
| [Cheers.]
After describing Chamberlain's exag-
geration of facts as "gross and habit
ual," Gladstone closed with the declara,
tion that the government was satisfied
their proposals would meet the approval
of the taxpayers.
Balfour made brief speech in de-
fense of Chamberlain, and the commit
tee rose.
