A Great Bank Failure.

Yesterday the National Bank OF
Illinois closed it's doors with liabilities
Of eleven mill Ions. The depreciation
in real estate made the bank mort
cages worthless, hence the failure.
Yet this same bauk made a warm op'
position to Bryan and free silver, and
was unable to understand why the
depreciation of silver affected real
estate.

claimed, could be constructed without
much outlay. At the upper end of the
room a dais, from which two steps lead
to the floor, will be erected; and in the
middle of this place will stand the bow
err or arch, which will be securely fast
ened to the floor by screws.
This peculiar dais will be carpeted,
or long rug will be spread over it..
For the background there will be pot
ted ferns, palms, or good-sized ever
greens lavishly ranged against the
wall. Then the arch will be trimmed
with all sorts of leaves and ferns.
White flowers will be added here and
there, which, even if sparingly used,
will make brilliant display, as few
flowers are wonderfully effective IL
artistcally placed. The asparagus

able, with its feathery branches, and
can be procured at all florists during
the winter months. For all weddings
the mantel-shelf can be made charm
ing picture if draped in white. Scarfs
in all cream tones are very fashionable;
and flowers of every hue will add to
this scheme, although the white alone
is more fitting for bridal decoration.

Christening n Vessel.

The christening party is standing on
n platform under the bow, and just
about where the water-line begins
The word to saw away the sole-piece
has been given. A stiffness comes up
on the throng, and the zip, zip, zip Of
the big saws on each side of the ship
is heard distinctly more than fifty
yards away. The young woman who
is to name the vessel has placed one
hand against the bow to feel the first
tremor of life, and in the other she
holds the decorated bottle OF cham
payne, enmeshed in silk web, ready
to strike the bottle against the bow.
The vessel shakes along her entire
length; there comes crash; she
breaks away before the saws
have cut her loose; terrific din
arises; the christening words are
spoken but not heard; and the stately
ship begins to glide down the ways APP
parenty without effort, and with the
ease of ship coming up bay under
half speed. She strikes the water,
kicks up big wave that goes rolling
across the stream, and then drops at
the bow into the water. The tide
catches her in it's arms, and tries to
runaway with her, but the men on
board drop the anchor into the water,
and the tugs that have been lying near
by catch hold Of Der, and in a few min.
utes she is led captive to her dock, ever
after that to obey the master mind
that shall guide her over the seas.

CRIME AND SCIENCE.


Proof OF Dark Deeds Estabiished by
Scientific Means.
Pbotomicrographical pictures of
mans beard, hair, tip of woman's
hair, tip of mans hair, root of womau's
hair, root of mans hair" have also
played decisive part in murder trial.
Two men have been arrested for the
murder of certain person. On the
garments of one, which were saturated
with blood, woman's hair had been
found, that Is, its indemnity as such
was established only after it had been
photographed under n microscope and
shown, exhibiting tips and roots OF
woman's hair.
Upon the person of the second pris-
oner was also quantity of human
hair found. The microscopical camera
showed that it was mans hair partly
from the head and partly from the
beard.
The person murdered was woman,
the wife of the first prisoner and the
hair on his clothes was identical with
that on the dead woman's head. This
settled his connection with the case.
The prosecution maintained that
more than one person had been con-
cerned in the murder. The second
prisoner, however, claimed an alibi,
which could not be disputed by direct
evidence, as it turned out Finally
the judicial expert hit upon the plan
to compare the hair found on the
clothes of the second prisoner with
those Of the first prisoner Specimens
Of the latter kind were procured, but
ocular comparison failed to establish
their similarity. Then photomicro-
graphy was tried, and by those means
it was proved beyond doubt that the
hair came from the same head and
beard.
No expert Is needed to distinguish
between the hair roots. Those OF the
female are lank and thin; those from a
mans head are club-shaped The tips
of woman's hair show that they have
not been cut for great many years,
while those of the mans head clearly
exhibit the marks of the scissors, where
tie tips have been cut from the shaft.
All this and more testimony, that, in
spite OF its technical character, APP.
pealed directly to the understanding
Of everybody concerned, was brought
out at the trial mentioned, and it was
| finally found that the second prisoner
stood guard Mt the house while the
murder was committed, and that after
the deed the murderer, in fit of emo
ton, threw himself on his friends neck
and cried then and there, leaving the
tell,alc hair from his head and beard
upon the man'ss shoulders. Pittsburgh

A room freshly decorated Ill the au'
tumn should be made cheerful for the
dark, wintry days that are TO follow.
Apple blossoms, hand-painted, and
scattered here and there along the
frieze over wall of dull, yellow
green, would tic pleasant reminders OF
the season beyond that of storms and
cold. They would be a far more eff
fective decoration and more economical
as we'll than some Of the expensive
gilt papers so much affected by lovers
of finery.
AT this age so many young women are
learning to draw and paint that much
home decoration is possible. Suppose
one of them takes strip of paper long
enough to go from corner to corner of
the reception-room, and boldly, broad
ly sketches in boughs and sprays OF
the apple tree. Studies from nature
she can purchase from any art store,
and to enlarge and ring changes upon
them would be her pleasure. Perhaps
she hns her own reminder of these
miracles of beau,y-a beauty so much
more picturesque than that OF the
orange.
The ground should be lighter than
the wall and more creamy-hued.
Struggling apple sprays are best.
Some may show only the upper tips
from the lower portion, with the upper
hidden. Breadth of water color paint
ing is required. Anything fine OF
carefully finished will spoil the atmos
pheric effect and lower its decorative
value. One might as well have care
fully finished picture hung just below
the ceiling, or purchase mechanical
ly-made paper frieze, just like that
hanging on the walls of Smith, Brown
and Jones.
A refined taste will desire aeriaI
effects. 1t will leave something to the
imagination. There will be soft, i'll

PeAaYS ESKIMO DOGS.

Five fierce, wolf-looking visitors late.

were brought back with the Peary re-
lief expedition, and which have been
placed on view at the park by the
Natural History museum authorities,
to whom they were consigned.
One of the number is dog
whose career certainly entities him to
much consideration. He is distinctly
the worst-looking beast Of the lot, and
he displayed miserably cowardly
spirit when his companions, in their
rough-and-tumble fight over bones
which Keeper Snyder fed to them, trod
upon and bit his ears.
He just rolled over and howled a
wolfish note, long drawn out, which
caused the lioness next door to pace
excitedly up and down her cage.
Snow Cap--that is his name, proba-
bly, because there is nothing white
about him, not even single hair-was
one of an uncommonly pack of picked
sledge dogs, forty-one in number, with
which Lieut.. Peary set off on his Arc
tic quest.
The dog is to the snow fields what
the camel is to the desert. He is the
Arctic explorers only hope of getting
there" and when he ceases to be OF use
as locomotive power, he becomes
food for the expedition, both for man
and the other dogs who have more stay
Ing power.
Snow Cap proved the best out OF
forty, and is the only uneaten dog OF
that yelping, snarling, bowling pack.
Thoy set OIL gayly-anywhere from
five To dozen dogs hitched to sledge.
They were harnessed somewhat in the
fashion of my lady's pet pug when she
takes the air; but the straps crossed
over their shaggy breasts, and the
leashes of different lengths, from ten
TO seventeen feet (which were gathered
and knotted together and hitched tc
the fore of the sled), were of rough
sealskin stripe.
Forty dogs and their accoutrement
were devoured on that northern trip
They began to lag and lie down ex
hausted, one by one, when they wer'
slain. Two days before the part,
reached the goal on its return, the for
tieth dog fell by the way and was con
