Bank Guards.

The Bank of France is guarded by sol diers, who do sentry duty outside the bank, a watch being likewise kept within it's precincts. A former practice of pro- tecting this bank was to get masons to wall up tho doors of the vaults in the eel lar with hydraulic mortar so soon as the money was deposited each day in these re- ceptacles The water was then turned on and kept running until the cellar was flooded. A burglar would thus be obliged to work in diving suit and break down cement wall before he could even begin to plunder the vaults. When the bank officers arrived each morning, the water was drawn off, the masonry torn down and the vaults opened.
 Tho Bank of Germany, like most other German public buildings, has a military guard to protect it. In very strongly fortified military fortress at Spandau is kept the great war treasure of the impe- rial government, part of the French in demnity, amounting to several million pounds.

TURNED THE TABLES.

FARGO. N. D., July 31.-The prohibition state convention today swarmed with pop ulists, sufficient in number to control the convention and indorse the ir ticket. About 200 gathered from all pa rts of the state, but the central committee required all partici- pants to signa a pledge to support the principles and candidates of the prohibi- ton party, both state and national, and only seventeen qualified. They indorsed the republican candidate tor judge of the supreme court, governor and superintendent of public instruction, the populist candidate for lieutenant governor, treasurer, attorney general, and Stevens and Cameron for railway commissioners, and nominated the following independent candidates: s. s. Ellis, member of con- gress; T. F. Howe, secretary of state; D. Carolton, auditor B. A. Taylor, commis- sioner of insurance; F. M. Arthur, com- missioner of agriculture; R. F. Saunders, railway commissioner.

FREDERICK J. TITUS.

cumb to his prowess Titus is certainly beginning we'll During the winter he won the championship of the "Onion Isles, the Bermudas, and on June 16 at Rock vile, Conn.,, he rode a trial mile in min utes 2 seconds, the fastest of the year up to that date. The best Zimmerman could do on the same track last year was 2:2l, but tho dust troubled him. Titus has also ridden a quarter unpaced in 28 seconds.
 Titus won his novice race July 1, 1898, and has consequently been riding but year. Last season he swung round the circle, meeting all corners with rare pluck and success and captured 13 first prizes, 19 seconds and 9 thirds, the total valued at $1, ,000. He is well built, handsome, athletic looking young fellow, and his pea cock blue costume is already well known to the frequenters of bicycle meets. Wheel men generally consider him one of the most promising newcomers on the track tndoy

Kings Who Were Decidedly AEerSe tO Cilo
 Use of Soap and Water.
 The late Dom Pedro of Brazil and the late King Victor Emmanuel of Italy were both lamentably ayerse to cleaning, and apropros to the Italian monarch there Is very good story ill existence.
 On one occasion. while out shooting in tho Alps, the king and several of his com panions sought shelter for the night in peasants hut, The peasants perfume was by no means savory, and although the kings friends were not squeamish they were obliged in sheer self defense to keep their faces averted from their host. Victor Emmanuel, whose huge, red, swollen nose was impervious to bad smells, at length noticed their behavior and in low tone asked them what was the matter.
 Nothing much, {" was the answer, "only this man smells like wild beast in his don."
 Us that allf" laughed the king 'So should we if VIC didn't wash for a week. '"
 Never to that extent your majesty.
 ''That's what you think, " retorted tho king We'll I'll make you a bet on it. I'll try.'
 The king was as good as his word, and he conscientiously cndeavored to win the wager. But at tho end of the fourth day the chief of his companions respectfully laid his hand on the kings arm and re- marked with averted head:
 Your majesty has indeed won the wager, not at the end of the week, but in three days less"
 Victor Emmanual burst out laughing, and, according to the statements of those who had lost the wager, did not hurry to part with the trophies of his victory.
 With regard to Dom Pedro, he was wont to put on a clean skirt at the beginning of the week, on the first day of which his double breasted black waistcoat would be opened up to the second button from the bottom. e- As the week progressed so did the buttoning of the waistcoat ascend un- til by Saturday night the waistcoat was buttoned tightly to the throat without any vestige of the shirt being visible
 Two other potentates who were also dis tinguished for their uncleanly habits were the late king of Portugal, whose appear ance was greasy in the extreme, and old Khedive Ismail of Egypt, who was so per sonally untidy that he was incapable of keeping decently groomed for five minutes together. Nor can Queen Isabella of Spain be said to be altogether en regal0 with re- gard to personal cleanliness, for, like Dom Louis of Portugal, she is oleomargarinous besides which her hands, and especially her finger nails, are far from immaculate Chicago Record.

 Governor Tillman-You have no right to make any in sin nations as to my public life. You can't separate my pub ic record from my public character for honesty.
 General Butler-I don't make any in- situations. There's no use talking any more. When you have anything to say come to me first.

 General Butler-I want it understood that I'm going to have my free speech if have to fight for it. But don't put these g-d d-n hoodlums on me.
 General Butler and Governor rillman kept up their fire for few minutes longer, and General Butler repeated that he did not want his one leg considered, and that he did not want any innocent people brought into any trouble. Governor Till man said he had no right to make his in- situations. By this time Conductor Daw- kins had worked bis way back into the car and peremptorily ordered the discussion to stop. He appealed 10 the participants to be quiet, as he would lose his job if he permitted such things in his car.

 American turf. The climax came when, after winning the Brooklyn Handicap with Dr. Rice as a mount, he rode Ramapo to victory in both the Metropolitan and the Suburban Handicaps.
 Taral was born in 1867 in Peoria, Ills, of French and German parents. At the age of 12 he ran away from home to join horse owner. His first race in public he won, but a long line of diseouragements followed. It was on the Washington park course in Chicago that he made his first appearance in a big race This was eight years ago. when he was but 19. He cre- ated sensation by bringing home winner the mare Della Beach, 150 to l shot. That same season he rode his first race in the east. After winning many victories for various owners he got his first big of fer. This was a salary of S12, 900 year from Campbell & Wolcott. His more re- cent work on mounts from the stables of the Keenes and other eastern owners has waited him to the dizzy pinnacle of fame which he now occupies. So many times has he been carried in front of the grand stand seated in floral horseshoes, surround ed by a bowling, shouting mob of half frenzied admirers, that such an occurrence does not disturb his self possession in the least
 In private life Taral is well to do citi- zen of New York. He owns handsome mansion on Lenox avenue above Central park, where he lives with his wife and lit tie boy. He has none of the spendthrift vices that have ruined other good jock eys, and a large part of his generous earn ings find their way into the bank where he does business.

A BashfuI Seaside Juno Who Proved That

Some of the women, though un- occasionally respectable, ''went in" for and with skirts so abbreviated that they might have passed for the front line" of Neptune's ballet troop. The husbands appeared to think it all right, and nobody else said anything-"out loud' at least There was one young married woman there from Hartford who looked askance at the style of the ocean raiment that the others sported and wore q loose and baggy bathing suit that covered her from neck to ankles, and horrid looking thing it was One day her husband said to her:

TWO CROPS A FAILURE.

COLUMBUS, O., July 31.-The state crop bulletin for the week ending today shows that contin ued drouth has scorched out the pastures and farmers are feeding their cat tie as in winter in many parts of the state. Corn, except in the river bottoms, is with ering, and cannot make half crop, while potatoes promise to prove a total failure. All kinds of berries are drying up and fruit of all sorts will be scarce,
