Chicago has had a financial furry,
caused by the closing on Monday of the
National bank of Illinois, which was con-
sldered the strongest national bank in the
city. The failure resulted in three private
banking houses going to the wall. The
allure of the National bank was precipi-
tated by the action of the Clearing House
association in suspendlng the bank from
membership. The comptroller of the cur
Fency appointed a temporary receiver for
the Institution. The liabilities are SILL
100000. The private institutions that
suspended were E. S. Dreyer & Co., liabili-
Ties $1,500,000; Wasmansdorf & Heine-
mann, liabilities $4l6,000, and the Rose

A Quiet Day in the Senate.

The crowd of eager and interested spec

day by the announcement that Mr.. Vest
would make an assault on Secretary Olney
suffered keen disappointment. Mr.. Vest
did not speak, nor was word uttered by
any one even remotely bearing on the is
sue of constitutional prerogative raised by
Secretary Olney's notice to Congress that
the Prevalent would ignore any effort on
the part o.ethe legislative branch to con-
troll or modify the ADMINISTRATORS present
diplomatic policy toward Spain and Cuba.
The only thing that came up during the
session, having any relation to Cuba, was
resolution of inquiry as to the circum-
stances attending the death of an American
citizen, said to have been "hacked to
pieces by Spanish soldiers" in the island
of Cuba. Mr.. Morgan of Alabama, made
speech against the Pacific railroad funding
bill, and in favor of the government taking

Addie Huse,s Body Found at Orange

The body of Addie Huse, who disap-
peared from Topsham last September was
found Monday in the woods near Harvey's
mills in Orange. 1t was entirely naked,
except for piece of underclothing around
one arm. The doctor says that she has
been dead two months, but the remains
were in state of complete preservation.
Addie Huse was 40 years old, of weak
mental powers and was pauper upon the
town of Topsham. She had been living
with Oscar Eastman and escaped from his
home. Immediate search was made and
100 men were out on one occasion. The
town of Topsham offered $50 to the finder,
dead or alive. Mr.. Morrison, who found
her, claims the reward. There is no sus-
pcion of foul play in her death.

Her Hear. Bat. Loud.x

From the New York Journal.
Two great English physicians are the
authority for the unique and strange
fact that there is a girl in London town
whose heart beats so loud that its
"murmur" can be heard II feet away
This Is a case so unprecedented in
medical annals that doctors acknowl-
edge IL the loudest heartbeat in the
world. When IL comes to be considered
that hearts under ordinary conditions
beat silently. so that they cannot be
heard unless ones ear Is put close TO
the chest. the wonder and the oddity Of
a heart whose pulsations can actually
be heard foulr yards away or fully
across the ordinary room of a city
house is manifest.
One would think that such a girl
would be in a very bad way, that she
must be seriously i'll and likely TO die
quickly. But just the reverse is true.
The girl who has this unique heart. a
l5-year-old English maiden. of rugged
health, strength and vigor, is so well
that the only inconvenience she feels
from her abnormal heart action is that
she gets quickly out of breath. In all
other respects she is quite in normal
health. Her heart is not enlarged OF
dilated and she is able TO do the things
day by day that an ordinary English
girl does.
Not only can the breathing Of her
heart be heard Il fet aeway. but il can
be heard when the young woman has
