ECONOMY Is NECESSARY.

The business community of Chicago
learned with surprise that by reason of
unwarrantable and injudicious loans, the
capital and surplus of the National bank
of Illinois were so seriously imperiled
that the clearinghouse would not con.
tinue it as member, and as result the
bank has closed its doors.
The failure of 80 large an institution,
no matter what the explanation, is such
as to create lively comment. 1t does
not appear at present that the failure
will be bad one-that is, the appear
ances are that the depositors will be
paid in full and that, while there will be
loss OF the capital stock, the share own
ers will probably not be called upon to
make good their responsibility, which
extends to twic, the. amount of their
holding. Older residents of Chicago will
remember, nearly twenty years ago, the
suspension of the Third national, which
slowly but surely worked out in the
hands of a receiver, not only its indebt-
edness to its stockholders, but actually
owes large profit to such OF its share.
holders y held on.
There does not appear, at the present
writing, reason to apprehend that there
will be widespread disaster or that any
other banking institution of real charac-
ter and vigilantly managed will be en-
barr ssed. But the failure merely
emphasizes need of the time. Sooner
or later everyone will be compelled to
admit through the logic of hard facts
that he must live more economically.
Ever since the war period the people OF
the United States have been living too
rapidly. Their first warning came in
1873. The& made some resolution Of
amendment, but with return of pros.
perity in 1881 the lesson was forgotten.
Eleven years later came another check.
The canditions that have existed in the
business world since then draw atten'
ton to the extravaganza of the Ameri
can people as whole. There was time
in the history of the country when, there
being no great fortunes in the land, there
was abundance everywhere and not 8

most every household is now called
upon to support more than the people

few, and the poorer people, struggling tC
maintain appearances, are endeavorint
to live as showily as people with sub

since the war, has been raised in al
environment of luxury and has no
comprehended that what wealth it in

There is no probability of a return t

Who He Is.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Thomas e.
Watson, of Thomson, Ga, was born in
Columbia county, Ca, Sept. 5, 1856. He
received common school education and
was then sent to Mercer University, Ma
con, Ca AT the end of the sophomore
year he left college for lack of funds
and taught school two years He read
law Tor few weeks under Judge w. r.
McLaws. of Augusta, Ga, and was admit
ted to the bar, commencing the practice
of the profession at Thomson Ga, his
old home in November, 1876. He was a
member OF the Georgia legislature in 1882
50; was Democratic elector for the state
at large in 1889 and besides the practice
of law has been and is still largely inter
eSted in farming. He was elected to the
t1fty-second congress as a Democrat, re-
ceiVng 5,456 votes against 597 votes for
Anthony Z. Williams, Republican.
Mr.. Watson served but one term in con-
gress. being succeeded in the Fifty-third
by James c. Black who was elected as a
democrat, receiving II, III votes against
1883 votes received by Mr.. Watson, who
ran as the candidate OF the Peoples party
Mr.. Watson also ran as a Populist can
didate for the F'ifty-fourth congress from
the same district, but was again defeated
by MIR. Black.
Watsons unique personality made a
conspicuous figure in the house of repre-
sentatives. He was fiery debater and
took part in numerous hot parliamentary
fights.
In personal appearance Watson is thin
and angular with clean shaver face of
intellectual cast and a thick mop of au-
burn hair

ing the big realistic play of New York
life, 1.-THE Midnight Alarm" AS the
title indicates, the play deals with
the exciting incidents in the life of a.
fireman in the metropolis, and is a
cleverly constructed modern school
drama. capable Of rivalry with the
strongest on the road. Cunningly con-
tlived complications keep alive the in
terest and lead to conjecture as to
how the author is to bring the tangled
events in harmony with the desires of
the audience All this is happily
brought about, however, and the cur
tain descends on a scene of happiness
pure and complete. The company car
ries expensive mechanical effects and
very handsome scenery. Noticeable
among these are the East river
wharf set, the Brooklyn bridge scene,
Uncle Gfdeon's farm, the railroad
draw-bridge, interior and exterior of
engine house No. 6, New York Con-
spicuous features are the living statue

the midnight alarm, with the rush of
a hose car drawn by two superb white
horses, to the fire.

ATHLETES OF THE PAST AND

We do not know with any scientific
accuracy what the Greek athletes ac-
tually did, what weights they hurled,
at what pace they ran, how high they
leaped or what were the heights,
weights or ages of those who sought
the wreaths There are some lies we
believe, recorded but they are too
clearly lies Nobody, for instance, ever
jumped forward 80 feet any more than
he jumped 500 feet. We know of some
fea.ts of endurance which the athletes
performed as soldiers We know that
they were 1.-THE and slight and well
formed, and we know that they thought
each other physically maltchless among
mankind, and that is nearly all that we
do know.
1t is extremely probable that if the

that the English and American athletes
beat them with a certain ease, for

THE GENTLE ART OF

can apply these two charming remedies
to the face of a great grandmother.
and, presto! years have gone, and the
grandmother is sixteen again.

wording of it, comes the fact that
there be women who believe what the
beauty doctor says.
