said to be implicated I'm certain criminal
acts with those officers.
They are charged with violations Of
section 5209 L. S. Il. s., and OF section 13.
act of July r. 1882. They appear TO have
used the funds of the bank to a large ex-
tent to buy up its stock, to have made
large loans in their own interest, to have
made false reports of the condition to the
controller, and to have certified check
for a depOsitor, whose account was over
drawn.
AS result Of their mismanagement, the
assets of the bank have in some way been
wasted to the extent that the capital has
been extinguished by resulting losses.
SO far as the controller is informed,
only the three parties arrested are impli-
Gated and the losses inflicted will be con-
fined strictly to shareholders and credi-
tors Of the failed bank.
The officers are said to be members OF

Liye-Lookins Dead Fiants

A curious exhibit is being placed in
position in the Mechanics Fair to-day.
II is somewhat beIated, but the man
ayers of the fair were unable to
secure it before. 1t is nothing, more
or less. than a display of "mummified
plants. 1t requires label to inform
people that they are dead, for the
plants appear exactly as if alive and
growing. They are not made of wax,
or of cloth, but are genuine plants
that have grown in the earth until.they
have reached good state of develop
ment. when, by their being treated to
a certain injection. the growth is ar
rested. Then comes the strange part,
for the plants so treated do not droop
and die; the leaves remain fresh ana
bright. and the plant stinds erec 1t
is. moreover, impevious to heat ana
cold, and nothing seems able 10 de-
stroy it's strange repose. The most
striking part of the exhibit is coiiec-
ton OF large palms used for decorating.
These plants are noted for teing very
tender and susceptible to almost every
influence. Those on exhibition have
been dead for six months, yet not even
when the leaves are carefully exam
ined would the fact be suspected. 1.

The truth of the adage that an hour

Interpolation OF dog-watch of two
hours to change the time of each set
of men on successive days. These men
are therefore obliged to get their re"
tquired sleep very irregularly, but in
more than two years of observation
,Dr. Colby could never discover that
the watch officers and men were not as
fully refreshed by their sleep as were
the medical and pay officers, who
stand no watch, and have hours as reg
ular as any householder. In the varied
industries of our cities, where many
workers are employed at night and
must sleep by day, further evidence
could doubtless be fonnd that the time
when eleep is obtained has not the In
fuence upon health and longevity for

During my stay had chance to
see some of the Sultan's horses. He
has about 1000 in his stables, and
among these are specimens of nearly
every breed in the world. His finest
horses are of Arabian blood, and his
favorite mount was beautiful Arab
ian bay. he often TOOK rides in the
grounds of his palace, and when Gen.
eral Low Wallace was Minister to Con.
stantinople he and the Sultan often
rode together. The Sultan is q good
shot, and I was told That he could
break dozen vases with revolver
while galloping past them on horse
back. BE has always been particular
;as TO The horses Of his army, and each
of the regiments which accompanied
him to the mosque was mounted on
Arabian horses of one color. During
talk I had with General Wallace not
long ago he spoke very highly OF this
Sultan, saying that he was a much
greater man than he has been gener-
ally supposed. 1 was told that he did
great deal OF work, keeping track of
foreign affairs, as we'll as those Of his
own country, and that he had the for
eign newspapers translated for him.
he has been SO surrounded, however,
by officials and spies that it has been
impossible for him to know what has
been going on in his country, and it
is question whether he has even been
able to control the factions which
make up his Government. The whole
Turkish Empire is honeycombed with
spies, and Constsntinople is q city of
intrigues and intriguers.
1t will be surprlsingFto many to
know that the Sultan's wives are all
of slave origin. The danger o. assas.
sination from the harem has made it
the custom of Turkey for the Sultan
not to marry. This prevents the polit-
ical intrigues of many branched
royal family, and ell OF the Sultaus
have had slave mothers. Abdul-Hamid
had, was told, 1000 women in his
royal seraglio, and as this number is
recruited every year by slaves froul
Georgia and Circassis, the imperial
harem probably contains that number
to-day. It is curious to know what is
done with sneh horde of wives in
case OF the death Of q Sultan. 1t is
said that the grandfather of Abdul,
Hamid sewed up nearly 200 of the
wives OF his predecessors in sacks,
and loaded the sacks with shot. He

Tennessee has planned and is now
constructing an industrial exposition
of interstate and international scope
to celebrate the one hundreth ami
versary of her admission into the
Union, to open at Nashville, the capi-
tai of the State, September J., 1896,
and to continue 100 days. The plans
call for twenty main buildings to be
grouped around lake, military
plaza, and reproduction OF. the Par
*henon at Athens, standing snow white
and alone in the middle upon high
terrace. In the main exposition
buildings Tennessee will present in
classified form under appropriate de-
partments the evidences Of her re-
sourceful mines, her fertile fields and
her numerous manufactures. She in
vites every other State and foreign
land to come and place its exhibits
side by side with hers, and will make
no charge for the space occupied.
The management to which has been in
trusted tie details of the fair desire
that the most unique and the most
complete exposition possible may re-
suit from their labors. For Tennes-
sees part more than 1000 prominent
men and women scattered throughout

be working earnestly and patrioticallys
and without salary, preparing exhib'

interior of the State. That was his
mistake. The deputy boarded the
SAME train, and took seat near the
crook. At point few miles ahead
the railway track ran across a corner
of York County, Maine. The deputy
knew this, but the crook didn't. When
the line was crossed the deputy pulled
the bell rope, stopped the train,
dragged the crook out of his seat, put
him off the train, and arrested him.
