HANDICAPPED BY "A RUN.

How a Groundless Scare Ended In q Real
Difficulty.
SANDUsKY, June 5.-The doors of the
Sandusky savings bank company which
closed Saturday night upon what was
generally supposed to be one of the
soundest and safest institutions of the
city, were not opened this morning but
displayed the following announcement:
Sowing to inability to realize upon as
sets at this time this bank has been COM
PEELED to assign. All depositors will be
paid in full.''
Intelligence of the assignment rapidly
spread throughout the city and quickly
large crowd assembled in front of the
banking house.
The present trouble is ascribable di-
rectly to the heavy, though groundless
run thatswas made on the bank about
ten weeks ago and which it withstood
successfully at that time, paying out up
ward of 100000 within two days, when
the run ceased as suddenly as it had be-
gun. This drain upon its Immediately
available resources handicapped the
bank seriously, although 1t has been do
ing as much or more business since the
furry than before such confidence did
the people, especially the business
community, have in it's stability. Some
heavy demands upon it during the clos
ing days of last week, however, pre-
cipitated the crisis this time.

WAS 1T KIDD OR ADAMS?
Biddeford All Stirred Up Over Report
Iof Buried Tresure.; n nc e.

BIDDEFoRD, June 5.--The lower Bid
deford woods were full of men and BOYS
Sunday looking for Capt Kidd's treas
ure box says the Journal. Several days
ago, a boy named John Potts discovered
in a swamp in the woods metal box.
The box was sunk deepin the mire and
the boy could lift it, Ex-Marshal Tar
box and several reporters have since
been among those looking for this treas
ure box, for of course it was at once con-
cluded that it contained gold. Saturday
Potts piloted ex-Marshal Tarbox to the
box. He had marked the place with
stones and found these stones readily. A
crow-bar, shovel and pick had been pro-
vided and they began digging for the box.
They removed the stones which marked
the place, punched down through the
mire with the bar and were rewarded
with the sound of its coming in contact
with some metallic substance. 1t was
deep down and they could not make
much progress digging. The mire caved
it away and the, hole filled up with water.
They struck big rock which prevented
them from enlarging the hole as much as
necessary and it was then that they quit
work until they could get better tools for
the work.
But Potts did not wait for the marshal.
and later with another boy succeeded in
removing the box. Potts says that the
box contained property of value but will
not tell what.
The latest and most sensational theory
as to the box is that it was buried by the
late Seleucus Adams and that it con-
tanned government bonds.
1t is said to be a fact that Mr.. Adams
had buried money at various times and
in different places in the woods of lower
Biddeford. When Mr.. Adams's estate
was settled, it is said that it fell short of
tae amount expected by about $50, 900.
1t is said that this amount could never be
accounted for, and that those who knew
that Mr.. Adams had been in the habit of
burying money have always believed that
this part of his estate was hidden some
where in the lower Biddeford woods, and
that searches were made soon after his
death for this fortune which could not
be accounted for,

NOT THE WORD OF GOD.
Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott on the Bible
and the Briggs Case.
CALLS THE PROFESSOR PROPHET
NOT HERETO.

Vigorous Remarks.of the Successor to
Henry Ward Beecher-He Challenges
Any Man to Find.the Phrase "wprd OF
God" in the Bible-Dr. Briggs He Calls
Prophet, Successor of the Prophets of
the Olden Times.
New YORK, June 5.-Rev. DIR. Lyman
Abbott, in his sermon on the Briggs case
yesterday at Plymouth church, Brook
lyn, endeavored to prove that DR.. Briggs
and not the general assembly during the
last two years had defended the true
Christian faith; that it was not DR..
Briggs who was heretical, but that the
stand taken by the general assembly was
one whose logical result was infidelity.
DR.. Abbott spoke of the battle which
has gone on from the days of Moses
down to the present by the ecclesiastic
and prophet, the one maintaining that
the Institution was the essential thing,
and the other that the Individual per-
sonal life was the essential thing, and
there could be no religious institute on
without 1t.
He exclaimed.
'1nfdel! What is infdel? What if
not this: To deny that God is in His
world today?e What if not this: To
deny that there is any way of coming to
God except the one door that has never
been opened save to limited number of
the human race?
ssHeretic! What is heresy? For ono
thing, it is to declare that God is not the
Father Of all mankind, and leaves no
door OF access to himself save the one
door OF written word that was NOT COM
pleted till the human race had longed
and cried and prayed for their Father for.
1000 years.
'ln your name, and in the name Of all
that believe in the living God dwelling in
the hearts of his children today, thank
this prophet, successor to the prophets
OF olden times, that in these two years
OF cruel trial he has never receded from
his one position, never used words in
double sense, never retracted his one as
sertion, but has stood firmly and faith
fully, against persuasion on the one
hand and attack on the other. for his
fundamental principle-that God is In
the heart of the, individual and in the
heart OF His church, as revealed in the
pages of the Bible.
The Bible is not the word of God.
And, repeating almost the words, and
certainly the sentiment, of DR.. Horton,
who lectured last year before the stu
dents of the Union Theological seminary,
challenge any man who calls the Bible
the word of God to find that phrase,
The word Of God,' ever employed in the
Bible to designate the Bible, or even en-
ployed in one part of the Bible to desig-
nate any other part.

times a stream will be seen full of little
masses of anchor ice floating along neal

often very slight, so that if an attempt
is made to grasp it in the hand it readily
melts and disappears. 1t is confined
mainly to swiftly running streams hav

feature of the winter that proves trouble

rh. American Woman and Her Bath.


There is no doubt that women are be-
ginning to realize more and more the
importance of the bath. 1t no longer
continues to be perfunctory duty. to
be gone through with as matter OF
course on Saturday nights, much as the
family washing is undertaken on Mon,
day.
The relation of cleanliness to godliness
has ceased to be of Importance. The
bath has grown to be considered. on the
contrary. close adjunct to woman's S
beauty. The fair sex has learned to
study the bath and its effects upon their
feelings. and incidentally the action OF
tepid or hot water on their fair skins and
it's efficacy in softening and beautifying
their compilations.
No longer can it be said that with the
majority of American women bath
means simply wiping the face with cor
ner of a wet towel, even if the statement
was ever true.
The women Of foreign countries in the
past undoubtedly had greater appreci-
alton of the near relation of the bath to
personal beauty than the women of the
United States. That great change IN
this direction has been wrought isshown
by the greater intelligence shown by
American women today in the matter OF
bathing, and their growing prediction
for what is known as Swedish massage.

the shout that went up was almost aw,-

The emperor again thanked the people
