RECKLESS BANK OFFICERS
Are Liable to Come TO Grief at the Hands OF
the Comptroller.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The probabiil-
ties are that some of the officers of the ma
tional banks who have been violating the
national banking act by speculation In the
funds Of the banks will soon be brought to
answer to the law. The new comptroller
of the currency has been carefully study
ing the cases of the recent bank failures.
The information which he has received
from the reports of the bank examiners,
which are not made public, Is that many
Of the failures have been caused by VIOLA
tions of the law by the bank officers them
selves.
Some Of the officers of the speculative
and smaller banks have become very reck-
less and pay no heed whatever to the re-
straints of the law. Comptroller Eckels
has been carefully studying the testimony
in the Maverick litigation, in which the
speculations Of the officers Of this bank
are q conspicuous feature. He is In earn
est, and says that some of the officers Of
the banks will not only find that the gov
srnment will proceed against them orim-
inally, but that proceedings will also be
taken 10 forfeit the charters Of banks whose
officers have wilfully disrega rded the con-
ditions of the national banking act.

Keith's Opera House.
For the final week OF the season at B. f.
Keith's Opera House, Manager Keith
offers that captivating and versatile COM
edienne, Miss Vernona Jarbeau, in the
Maeder- Frazer musical farce comedy
starlight" The farce serves Miss Jar
beau's purpose admirably. 1t gives scope
for the displayal OF her versatility and
general brightness. The pretty little
comedienne skips and warbles through
the three acts with merry abandon and
delicious grace. One moment she is
fiery gipsy girl, and then you see her as
II stately, demure Theo. Miss Jarbeau is
wonderfully active and volatile, and she
possesses remarkably rich soprano
voice. She enunclstes with rising in
tonation that is decidedly catchy and
magnetic.

FORGOT TO LET GO.

"Tom" Brown Pulled Box 80 the Second
Time just For Luck.
At l 40 this morning people were star
tied to hear a double alarm from Box 80,
situated at the corner of Main and Conant
streets. Visions OF a monster conflagra-
tion fitted through their minds as they
ran to convenient windows to see the
blaze.
In vain they scanned the cloudy sky
and soon heard the recall, which allayed
their fears for the safety of the city, but
left them wondering why the extra round
was struck on the firm alarm.
II seems that at the time mentioned
fire was discovered In the bed OF Sleep
ing room on the second floor OF the
junction House," Edwin j. Heaiy, pro.
prietor, corner of Main and Conant
streets. IL did not amount to much and
pail of water properly directed would
have drowned 1t out, but "Tom" Brown
ran to box 35 and pulled in an alarm. He
stood bravely by his post and forgot to
let go of the hook and after the usual four
rounds were struck gave it another pull
for luck.
Again the warning notes Of the big bell
rang out and as all the firemen were there
at that time they pulled "Tom" away
from the box and threw the burning
mattress out of the window and sent In
the recall.

The invitation was accepted, and 1.-THE
grand committee was convened.
Forgetting THAT they had just passed a
new law governing the organization Of
the grand committee, the Republicans
were about to proceed to 1.-THE election,
when II was discovered that they had vio-
lated their own law by neglecting to call
the roll to determine whether a quorum
OF both Houses was present.
Then they started to elect, but the
Democrats suggested to them that there
was no vacancy to be filed, and that an
election could not be held until May 80.
Acting upon the advice OF another
member Gen. Wilson wrote out his resig-
nation and a page hustled 1t to Gov.
Brown, the presiding officer, who sccep-
ted II and announced that there was
vacancy.
Again the Democrats had the Republl-
cans on the hip, for the Invitation to go
into grand committee was to elect to fill a
vacancy from May 80. An election to fill
the office from now until May 30 might be
held, but this would be In violation OF the
Republican grand committee law, which
says that the business named In the In
vitation only can be transacted.
The Republicans saw the point.
Gen. Wilson moved that the grand COM
mittee rise, and that the two houses
should separate, which was done, and the
Republicans filed out amid the sarcastic
laughter OF the Democrats, who asked II
ual proceedings" the Republicans had re-
Gently asserted were being considered.
In the course OF the discussion, and on
motion to rise, prior to that which was
made by Gen. Wilson, Senator Watson Of
jamestown again voted with the Demo-

R[NOUNCED HER HOME
Mystery Of a Case That
Is PuzzIing WaItham.
GIVES UP HER STUDIES
To Become the Adopted Daughter Of an
Eccentric New York Widow.

WkLTHAM Mass, May 27.-Alice Stone.
young gill who has been student NJ the
Waltham training school for nurses for
the past year, has given up her studies in
thai line of work to assume the position of
adopted daughter OF Mrs. Jane Thompson,
who is reputed to be very wealthy and
eccentric widow of New York city.
A few months ago Mrs Thorn pson
came to Waltham TO visit a sick aunt
then confined in the Waltham hospital.
There she met Alice Stone, and betw cen
the two there appears to have arisen an in
tense infatuation. On March Alice gave
up her position as nurse and went to live
with Mrs. Thompson, who was boarding
ut the time with Mrs. Wilson on yelling
ton street, Waltbsm. She proposed to
Adopt the Girl,
and although the parents of the latter,
who reside at Sherborn, strongly objected,
rs did her friends, Alice renounce1 her
name, occupation and family, and as
sumed the name of Mar ion Prentiss
Thompson and consented to q formal
adoption.
On Sunday last she became 81 years Of
age, and on Monday she and her new
mother left Waltham ostensibly to go to
New York, saying they would soon re-
turn. Meanwhile Alice had assumed deep
mourning for the deceased Mr.. Thompson,
whom she had never seen. Her parents
are said to be almost heartbroken over the
action Of their daughter, which has created
. tremendous sensation In this city. Since
the departure of Mrs. Thompson and her
daughter" the envy which at frst many
had for her supposed good fortune has
given place to another feeling, and there
seems to be an impression that there Is
to be
A Strange Sequel
to the young girls romance.
Mrs. Thompson is alleged to have left
unpaid bills TO q considerable amount,
while no one can be found to give definite
Information as to her past life.
It Is said that Alice was promised, in re-
turn for giving up her name and family,
that she should be made the heiress Of
Mrs Thompson's presumably large for
tune, and that her taste for a medical ca
reer was to be gratifed by the most liberal
education in that line that money could
procure. The address of her future home
she has given to friends in Waltham as "
State street, Brooklyn.
The officials of the hospital did not care
to have much TO say on the matter, but it
is understood that several Of them tried to
prevail upon the young lady to give up the
idea of adoption.
