Excitcmcnts That XIII.

Now that the season of outdoor ath-
letic games has opened. the usual list Of
injured from professional gamesof base
ball. cricket, football and similar rough
games may be expected to appear. But
though number do get injured il this
way every season q far more common
danger is from the excitement which &C.
companies these games. In the excite
ment Of highly contested games the play
ers run the risk of enlargement of the
heart, which may prove fatal 1T tho time
or drag along for years. While a few of
the players can endure almost anything
in the way of excessive muscular exer-
ton others of an ambitious and excita-
bic nature run great risks.
Many Of the games demand co1tin-
ued excrtion Of II dangerous and reckless
kind, and nothing short of permanent
injury to the player must follow where
excitable tempera,nents engage long in
the games. Often one suffers from y
slight heart arrangement which would
never trouble him if he did not strain
himself in excitable games. The true
way is to demand rigid examination of
all those who would enter into games for
long continued struggles. Exercise of a
proper sort is beneficial, but many can
not stand more than the gentlest sort

DETROIT, Mich, June 14.-The fnan-

weeks has made things lively for banks
all over the country, has at last reached
Detroit. It comes in the form of lack
or confidence among the more ignorant
depositors of the savings hanks. The
excitement began Monday afternoon,
but has been greatly increased. The
Peoples Savings bank-among tho
very strongest in the city - is
the center of the throng. 1t
was packed with a clamoring crowd
all the morning, and throngs were
lrawn up in line on both sides of Girls
void street in front of it. A long line
of excited people were drawn up in
front Of the bank waiting for the doors
to open, and tho officials decided to take
advantage of the 80 day notice by law.
and distributed circulars signed by IA
savings banks of the city, announcing
that In the event of unusual demands
upon them, and to insure equal pro'ec-
ton to all depositors to require the no.
tice provided for in the bylaws of the
several banks. All the officers of the
savings banks in the city have focked
to the support of the Peoples and every
thing possible has been done to quiet
the uneasiness.
The Peoples Savings bank has cap
ital stock of $500, 900. 1t last report
showed a surplus of $l25. 1000, and undi-
vided profits of $13,25s. 1t has $6, 2Sa, us

General Merritt Orders 4 COMPANY of

Trouble,

ST. PAUL, June 14.-Uni;ed States
officials are excited over sensational
reports that come from the Leech Lake
reservation. Monday Marshal Dona-
hover was advised by telegram from
Park Rapids that DR.. J. r. Walker, res
ident physician and overseer at the res
ervation. had accidentally shot an In
dian. and by another telegram from j.
II. O'Neil ana II. A. Walling, NJ. D.,
that DR.. Walker was held prisoner,
and that he was
In Danger Of His Life.
The situation looked SO serious and
the adviceS came from men who were
SO thoroughly responsible that the mar
shal communicated in writing with
General Wesley Merritt. commanding
the department of Dakota. and that
gentleman thought it might be advisa-
bic to afford assistance. A company
of the Third United States infantry was
therefore ordered to make ready to
proceed as rapidly us possible to the
reservation upon the representations Of
the marshal that he could not get his
scattered f. GO of deputies together to
secure order.
Tie situation looks serious. The
Indians were paid off recently, and the
trouble arises without doubt from their
drinking contraband whisky.

It is somewhat hard to find suitable Of

SUNDAY OPENING.
Ex-President Harrison speaks Briefly
on the. Materials Plans.

On lIls> NAiIteF-hlS tt1nS.
NEW YORK, June IA special to
The World from Chicago says:
Speaking of the Sunday opening of
the fair Ex-President Harrison sad:
"All questions in which the public is so
deeply interested and which affect an
enterprise like the worlds fair should,
in my opinion, be settled as quickly as
possible. Whatever think personally
about Sunday opening, it seems to mo
when congress made the law and gave
an appropriation to the fair, that settled
the question" Further than this he
preferred not to say anything.
Mr.. Harrison said that Immediately
aster his visit to the fair he would go
East. spending short time in New
York. He will then go to his summer
home at Cape May. where he will re-
main two months, resting and doing a
little literary work. He will return to
Chicago then to See more of the fair.
A friend asked the ex-president whether
he would resume the practice of law.
In reply he said: Il have taken a few
retainers but have not opened an Office.
don't know that shall ever have an
office again"

Tho Promise to Obey.

The promise to obey ought no longer
to be either asked or given. Men as we'll
as women are learning to regard it as Il
relic of barbarisn. One young man Of
my acquaintance acted as ''best man" to
a friend who was married by the Epis-
copal service. He was scandahzed by
the brides promise to obey and wrote
to his own sweetheart q letter of in
dignation and disnay. He sald he
hoped it was not customary with other
denominations to use q similar form,
for he should dislike exceedingly to have
her promise to obey him. She answered
that he need give himself no uneasi-
ness; she had not tho smallest intention
of promising anything of the sort. They
have been married 10 years and are J.
very happy couple.
Methodist ministers are now forbidden
to exact the promise to obey, and it Is
fast going out of use in all denomina-
tions that are not tied to fixed ritual

Curfew VIII Ring.

An ancient custom has been revived in
the cities and towns in Canada. This is
the ringing of the curfew. III olden
times the curfew was r11ng at nightfall
at which time all fires were covered
lights extinsuished. and the people re-
tired to rest. The custom was instituted
in the reign of William the Ccnqueror.
The act passed ut the last session of l.aI
lament in Canada is not, however, quite
SO strict as the one of olden times. 1t
provides that at . o'clock the curfew
shall be rung, and if any persons under
II years of ago are found on the streets
they shall be locked up by the watch1nan
or police. and unless satisfactory explana-
tion can be given tho parents shall be
made to suffer either by confinement in
Jail or fine or the sending away Of the
children to some public institution where
they will be taken care of until the au-
thorities sec fit to let them out.--Niagara

Enarnlous LOSE Of Power.

At the electric light convention in st.
Louis Mr.. l.. B. Stillwell remarked that
the Central station manager, who is buy
ing energy in the form Of coal and sell
ing it in the form Of light and wasting it
at every step in the process. is losing far
more before .he energy passes through
the dynamo than afterward. He esti-
mates that out of each 1000 horsepower
bought in the form of coal it is at pres
ent possible to sell not more than about
2.s horsepower in the form of light.
Some $50 horsepower lost before reach
ing the dynamo and the rest afterward.
It seems clear therefore that the problem
of cheap electricity is in its final analysis
. problem of thermodynamics.-

SouI Communion lsNy.

The last of the II days set apart by
tho Worlds fair management for 1.-The
parliament Of religions" is monthly
whole world soul communion day and
the sixth anniversary Of its institution,
SEPT. -.
The tl'st whole world observance was
on tho eth of September, 1886, when
there was silence i'll heaven for the
space Of one-hulf hour" when a greater
or less number of the worshipers Of all
the great religious faiths of the world
united for so minutes (time at all points
corresponding with the half hour inter-
vening at Salem, Oh, between IL merid-
ian and 1890 past 1nerilian) in invoking
universal peace and new and higher iu-
fowinss of spiritual light.
Of course the Worlds fair MANAGE
nent did not know in setting apart the
Il days between and including, Monday
the llth and Sept. 81 that ''the parlia-
ment Of religions" would terminate its
session on the anniversary of this the
most universal religious movement ever
Instituted among Iicn, but such is the
fact, and being SO it is eininently proper
that the brief universal prayer season of
half an hour should Oh that day be &C
corded to soul communicates and all
who will unite with them in invoking
with unihc soul impulses peace on earth
and good will among men," Soul COM
munionists will ask no more of the fair
management, as they are silent workers.
The time of obscrvancein III Chicago will
be from 2:a0 to ESQ 2. m, when there
and then will be gathered worshipers
from all the shrines Of earth, and some
of all of whom will have been divinized
by continuous previous observances i'll
the most interior spirit of the movement.
This is 1.-The universal prayer gauge"
which a distinguished English scientist
some years ago called for, and its proofs
of the efficacy of unity of thought and
aspiration for the common good have
been wonderful and will be more won-
derful.-H. n. Mcguire In New York
