Circular to Banks.

State Bank Commissioner ]. W. Breid-
enthal is sending out a circular letter to
the bankers of Kansas which says in part:
1.-THE attorney general has just rem
dered an opinion to the effect that no
bank can lawfully invest it's funds in
the stock of any other bank or corpora
ton. This view is sustained by many
decisions of supreme courts of numerous
states. In view of this fact I desire
that all banks that have any invest
ments of this character send me an item
desire a list furnished by each bank
showing all loans made by it that are
secured by stocks of this character, in
Guiding its own stock.
IF your bank is carrying any of its
own stock as an asset / desire that same
be charged off at once or disposed of to
bona fide purchaser, either for cash or
good and acceptable assets. You will
readily understand why investments of
this character are not proper for a bank,
if you will consider the matter carefully.
The facts are that there is no fixed value
for such stocks and no time for maturi-
tv, no fixed rate of dividend or interest,
and in certain conting encies the holder
of stock may be liable under the law,
hence, it is possible that an item of this
character may become liability rather
than an asset Of the bank and it is not
proper nor lawful that the funds en-
trusted to the care of banks should be
invested in this manner

GALEsBURG, ILL.,. May 24.-When the
Chicago, Burlington s. Quincy fast mail
train was four miles east of Kewanee
today and running at the rate of fifty
miles an hour, the glass in the lubri-
eating can broke, and instantly three
quarts Of kerosene was spilled by steam
pressure through the cab. Striking the
hot boiler-head, the oil was ignited. and
the next moment the whole interior of
the cab was in flames. The fireman,
Ed Martin, was standing in front of the
lubricator, and his clothes, becoming
saturated with oil, were quickly all
ablaze. He rolled OH the cab floor to
extlnguish the flames. Engineer Y. B.
Giddings thrust one leg and his body
through the cab window, and with his
other foot set the brake and brought
the train to a standstiIl. Martin. before
the train stopped, jumped from the
floor, and, with the flames streaming
from his clothes. rushed to The water
tank, raised the cover and jumped in,
extinguishing the flames. Giddings
leaped from his engine and rollei
around in the wet grass. Martin was
put on freight train and brought
home. His clothes, save his under
SHIRT, had been destroyed by fire. He
was horribly burned. and is in pre-
carious condition. Giddings' left hand
was badly bur ned, and his clothes

Story Of Her Mental Weakness
Cruelty False.
MANSFIELD, o., May 24.-Dr. F. j.
Kallmerten, of this city. editor of,the
Courier, has just returned front Wash
ington. While there. in company with
his wife he visited Miss JENNIE Lander,
formerly of this city, who went to
Washington some months ago to take
charge of little Ruth Cleveland. DR..
Kallnleften is an ultimate acquaintance
Of Miss Lander's, having known her in
Bonn, Germany. before she came to
this city. He Says he saw and talked
with the little daughter of the president
who, according to recent Washington
dispatches widely published. is physi =
cally and mentally detective.
These reports- are outrayeousiy
false, 'ssaid DR.. kaiitnerten. II noticed
thefc child closely, questioned her. and
studied her mental process carefully,
and have no hesitancy in saying that
She is physically sound and strong and
as bright as any child of her age that 1
ever saw, aud during. my active profess
siuual practice l have made a special
study of children and their diseases.
The little girl talks plainly and in
diligently, is keen observer, and
gives every indication of being very
Lctive mentally. She has learned
German froin her governess. and knows
the names, and can call them in Eug-
lish and German, of all the common OBJ
jects about her, and is constantly i'm
portuning her governcss to know the
French names for them.
1.-The stories about the extreme Sc
cretlveness as to allowing the children

LARGELY mythical, as is shown by the
readiness with which l saw them on
account of my acquaintance with Miss
Lanier. Any one acquainted with the

much at liberty to see the White hou Sc

are friends or acquaintances to see the

expected in some quarters TO prove tn e

was opened this afternoon with aggun
fired by Sir John Lubbock Liberal.
Unionist, who moved that the budget
committee be empowered ITO divide the
budget bill into two parts and to EN-
body the provisions respecting the sink-
ing fund III a different measure.
Sir William Harcourt said that the
object of the motion was to revert to
theSysteln by whichthe house OF lords
would be able to overthrow the financial
measures emanating from the house of
commons. This system had already
been condemned by Disraeli and Palm
erst0n, and by the committee of the
house Of commons. Loud cheers. An
other reason for Sir John I.ubOock's
motion was to waste the time of the
house by involving 1t in two bills, and
III two separate statements from the
committee, and in two third readings,
AT the present time. also. there were
special reasons why the commons should
preserve absolute control of the finances
of the country.
Mr.. Goschen and several minor Con-
seryatlves supported the motion, after
which division was taken, with the
result that 1t was rejected by vote Of
16l to III. setgt.i
The announcement of the govern.
ments victory was greeted with pro-
longed Liberal cheers. Latertwo other

committee were ruled out of order, and

a DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
The Aldermen Meet aud Consider
Its Solution.


Its Solution.
The committee of the council, con-
slsting of one alderman from each ward,
appointed TO consider the unemployed
problem, met Yesterday afternoon at the
city hail. The matter of expenditure of
the city funds was discussed at length.
City Comptroller Nye maintained that
the appropriation for city work was
sufficiently large to take care of all the
unemployed if it was judiciously ex-
pended, and he did not favor the issu-
ance of the S150.000 worth Of bonds
asked for by the resolution submitted to
the council by Aid. Woodward. The
appropriation for public work is $751;
900. and this, if properly disbursed. he
said, should be sufficient, even though
large portion of it has already been
spent in improvements.
The committee appointed by the mass
meeting of the unemployed was present
and made number of suggestions. The
sentiment of cutting the wages of the
city employees was strongly evinced, it
being held that this would give a greater
number an opportunity to get living.
A half loaf Is better than none, was
what the committee from the unem-
poycd maintained. at the meeting of
the council this evening some action
will be taken, and it is hoped that the
body will arrive at some happy conclu-
sion for the unemployed.
Saturday morning another mass meet
ing will be held OH Haymarket square,
at which time addresses will be made
by prominent speakers. In the evening
OF the same day meeting will be held
Oh the commons at Twelfth and Wash.
ington avenues north. Next Monday
morning the board of trade will take ND
the matter and endeavor to work out
some solution of the problem. 1t is
likely that the board will take some
action that will bring about generous
subscription of funds by the citizens in
general.
The work of registering the unem-
ployed in the various wards is going on,
and 1t is said that up to date over 3, OO0
names have been added to the lists.
Ttis afternoon the committee represent
ing the unemployed will meet aud form
ulate suggestions TO be presented to the
council in the evening.
