The Proposed Pacific Cable.

The analysis which was made by Sand
ford Fleming of Ontario of tenders re-
ceived for the construction Of the Pacific
cable has been sent to the different colonial
governments. For route No 1, which seems
TO be the one which will have to be adopt
ed in the event of arrangements falling
through with Hawaii for a landing place
on the Hawaiian archipelago, the lowest
offer, including maintenance for three
years, is Fl, 511,OOO. This is for a speed ca
pacity of twelve words per minute. The
route in question is entirely within British
territory, and would run from Vancouver
Island to Tanning Island, Fiji. Norfolk
Island, with branches from Norfolk Island
to New Zealand and New South Wales.
For the adjustment of details, Mr.. Fleming
suggests that a joint commission be APP
pointed to assemble in London, consisting
of three commissioners-one for the i'm
perial government; one to represent Cana
da, and one to act for Australia and New
Zealand, conformity.

MANY THOUSANDS SUFFER.
DcplOrablc Effect of Bank Cashie
Ffggatt's DefnlcatiOn.

The defalcation of Cashier c. NJ. Figgatt
has practically put out of existence the
Bank of Lexington, Va, which was the
only financial agent of the entire commun-
ity. Almost every one, to the number of
over twenty thousand people. is victim
of this financial collapse.
The following statement shows the con-
dition of the bank as near as the examina-
ton, made somewhat hurriedly, indicates:
Liabilities. balance due depositors and
banks, SOS, 1922. Assets-Cash on hand,
s657312; cash tickets. value, ST. 10: cor
poration bonds, $2O,5OO: Lexington Manu-
featuring Company bonds, estimated, $1,000;
bills and notes, estimated value, $1oO,WU;
real estate and fixtures, $4,000. Total, $133,
2O2.32.
The Virginia Military Institute had near
Iy twenty thousand dollars deposited in the
bank, while the Washington and Lee Uni
yersity's account was slightly overdrawn.
All the professors of the institutions were
depositors, and are practically without a
dollar.
All the merchants were heavy depositors,
and the blow to business in general is
keenly felt. No money is to be had. A
prominent director of the bank stated that
a deposit of 5000, made the evening be-
fore the departure of Mr.. Figgatt, is miss
ing and no evidence of the same being
credited can be found.

Stop that Cough!

1t may lead to serious conse-
quences. Cough remedies will
not do it, because it means more
than a simple cold. SCOTS
Emulsion of Cod-1iver Oil with
Hypophosphites will do it, and
at the same time will build up
and fortify the system against
further attacks.
We are putting up a 5o-cent
size for just these local diff
cu1ties. For ordinary Coughs
and Colds that quantity will
doubtless cure. If it is deep
seated it may require more.

The long-awaited conference of the re-
publican followers of ex-senator T. c.
Plat at New York yesterday was not a
great success, so far as it was protest
against Mayor Strong's independence in
making appointments. 1t had been expected
to occupy the largest apartment in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, but when the meeting was
assembled 1t was found that a small room
would hold them. When all were inside the

total was fifteen. Those present Were:

Chewing Arafn.

4. C. Chewing, the man who, number
of months ago. was found in the Smith
sonian grounds, apparently dying from
hunger ard who did not get the 500 con-
tributed for him because of the sympathy
created by his pitiful story. has again
been heard from. AS heretofore printed in
The Star he was injured by a railroad
train on Maryland avenue sometime ago.
but none of the Washington hospitals SEEM
ed to be good enough for him. He left
Garfield last Sunday because he had be-
come dissatisfied and n day in the aims
house hospital convinced him that that
was not the proper place for him, and he
left there Nothing more was heard of
him until Friday, when Sanitary Officer
Frank received a letter from him. He is
now stopping at Brick Haven, a place just
below Alexander Island, and he wants the
sanitary officer to furnish him with a
ticket to the home of his mother at Inter
mont, Giles county, Va, where, he says,
he knows he will be well cared for. Before
leaving here he borrowed a pair of crutches
from some one and these, he says, he will
return.
AS he is in Virginia his request will be
ignored and Sanitary Officer Frank thinks
that the nan had better ask the Virginia
authorities for favors, as he belongs in that
state.

years of age was found yesterday beneath
the ice of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal

the man met his death accidentally, fall
ing from high bank above the scene of
the finding. On the body of the drowned
man were found a handsome watch and
valuable ring. The existence of these al
| most assure all that the death was not
intentional and the outcome of robbery.
The father, of Zufall, who is a very we'll
TODD man, has resorted to every means
since the disappearance to discover the
whereabouts of his son. His home had
been happy one, and temporary dementia

for the disappearance, If voluntary. The
cold weather had not completely wrecked
the body. 1t was preserved remarkably
We'll for one that had been devoid of life
for nearly sixty days 1t was discovered
by two boys while skating.

Tom Thomson to be Here.

Tom Thomson the celebrated southern
temperance orator who is making tour
through this state and the northwest is
coming to Grand Ranids.
Mr.. w. E. Pickreli, his advance agent
and business manager, has been in the
city efecting the necessary arrange
ments, which are now complete and
Tom Thomson will be here.
AS temperance speaker Mr.. Thorn
son is said to be above the ordinary
because of his unique originality. In
person he resembles Sam Jones the
Southern Evangelist and is of Just as
much individuality. In fact he is Tom
Thomson and no one else and his
peculiar style of preaching the gospel
OF temperance attracts crowded houses
wherever he goes. He will open here
in the NJ. E. Church Sunday Aug. II at
s O'Clock in the evening. The lectures
will continue for one week
Mr.. Thomson urges the cause of
temperance from the gospel standpoint
and leaves politics out. His visit will
be in the interest of the town and
everybody and all societies and orders
whose object it is to promote temperance
and social purity are cordially invited
to participate. All seats free.
