REFORM DEMANDED.

Evil Practices OF Bank Officers to 10
Looked Into The Cause OF Late Fall
urcs.
WASHINGTON, May 2i.-Among the
recommendation which are to be made
to the next congress by the secretary
of the treasury is measure to limit
the loaning of money of national banks
to their officers and directors and to
require recorded yea and nay vote
when loans to such officers are made.
Such bill was introduced in the last
house and went through that bodywith-
out much opposition, but it was loaded
down in the senate by an amendment
offered by Senator Sherman increasing
the circulation OF the banks to the par
value of their bond deposits. This
threw the bill into conference commit
tee, and the conference report was
never called mp in either house.
The new comptroller of the currency
has had his attention forcibly called to
the need of such legislation BY several
of the recent failures in the west. Big
loans to officers had much to do with
the failures of the Capital National
bank of indianapolis, the First Nation
al bank of Cedar Falls. H., and the
brunswick. Ga, banks. The officers OF
the Iowa bank were engaged in run
ming stock farm and borrowed large
" of the bank to keep the farm going.
COMPTROLLER Eckles would like to break
ND such practices, and will do it as far
as he can without waiting for new legis-
lation. He will instruct his examiners
to sean the books of the bank closely
for cases of loans to officers, and will
direct attention to the fact that he does
not approve them.

A Pretty Romance.

Although many flowers owe their
names to famous people, there is only
one instance known when n man and a
flower received a title Mt the same
moment. When Mel, brave French
general, was returning from the scene
of his victories in the war between
France and Austria, he received from a
peasant, who wished to honor the hero,
u basket of beautiful, pale yellow
roses. One of the stems, which
happened to have roots clinging to it,
the general took to florist in Paris, in
whose care it remained until it became
a thriving bush covered with blossoms.
Mel then took the plant as a gift to
Empress Eugene. She expressed q
great admiration for the exquisite
flowers, and, on learning the rose was
nameless, said significantly: Then ]
will name it. 1t shall be the
Mareschal Mel" and at the same
moment she bestowed upon the
astonished general the jeweled baton
that betokened his promotion to the
high Office of marshal of France

of death, the myriad birds so filed all
the place with CHEEKY life. They were
everywhere. fearless as the spirits OF
the departed. As they lifted their
wings toward the upper air, they sang
of purity and holiness; and, rs they
were followed with the eye, the mind

fleecy clouds that feclsed the fair May

faced young people who addressed him
us uncle, seemed solicitous regarding
his comfort, and hung on his every
word. Soon, from the distant town,
came vibration in the air followed
by confused sounds that the soft breeze
disentangled until they defined them
selves into familiar military air.
The geutleman's pale face flushed, and
he beat time with his crutch on the
floor of the carriage.
Excuse me, and bear with me for n
little" he said, dreamily. 81 can never
control the pulsation of my heart at the
first roll of the drum tap or at the
shrek of fife. The sounds carry me
back to the warm darkness of those
nights camping beneath southern
sky. when the air was faint with the
perfume of many flowers and heavy
with sad, brooding expectancy. We
lay down to listen to the creeping foot
steps of an enemy until overcome with
sleep, and then our very dreams were
filled with an undesirable, uncontroll-
able power of justice and destiny that
was shaping our future, and that OF the
country for whose honor we were dwell

Helen. "She is standing in the lot

uncle. Is she not lovely?"
"She is still handsome, but at eight

May, and the request was repeated
with reclamation by all the party.
So, in the intervals of music and

the veteran. 1.-THE cashet was lined
