BIG BANK CLOSED.
NATIONAL BANK Of ILLINOIS HAS
SUSPENDED BUSINESS
Cnwarranted and Injudiclous Loans
Are Given as the Reason Of the
Failure by Members of the Clear.
ing House-Two Other Banks Go
Under As q Result-Many Million
Dollars Are Involved.

Chicago. Dec. q. The National
Bank of Illinois, one of the Oldest and
best known banking institutions In the
city, and with assets of between
twelve and fifteen million dollars. has
closed its doors. The following notice
was posted on the doors:
'"rhis bank is in the hands of the
national examiner. BY order of the
controller of the currency"
This action was decided upon Mt q
meeting Of the directors of the bank
the night before, after the bank had
been suspended from the clearing
house Of Chicago at q meeting of the
clearing house committee held earlier
in the day.
OF the sixteen banks that cleared
through the National Bank of Illinois,
two closed their doors as a result Of
the closing of that institution. They
are T.. s. Dreyer l. Co. and Wasmans-
tlOrf e. Heinemann. These two insti
tutions are mortgage loan banks and
savings societies in n small way, and
their failure is not expected to affect
business. The assets of T.. s. Dreyer
& Go. are given Mt $1,GOO,OOO. with liza
bilities of $1,2OO.OOO. The figures for
WaslnansilOrf & Hermann are, ap-
proXimately, assets, $G5O.UOO; liabili-
ties. $4OO.OOO. The Security Title and
Trust company was appointed receiver
for both firms.
Six banks have made arrangements
to clear through other banks and the
balance of the sixteen are making sim
ilnr arrangements as fast as possible.
The failure was Il great surprise in
financial circles.
Tho causes of the suspension, as
given in the resolutions adopted by the
clearing house committee are ''unwar-
rantable and injudicious loans"
through which the capital and surplus
of said bank is seriously imperiled II
not absolutely lost
The suspension had but little effect
either in the wheat pit or on the stock
exchange. Wheat, indeed. showed
strength after the opening at 5-Sc de.
cline. and the stock market was dull
and only fractionally lower.
One of the leading bankers and
financiers of this city said to an Asso'
ciatcd Press reporter: 1.-The failure of
the National Bank of Illinois has ere.
ated no disturbance of consequence In
financial circles here. One or two prl.
vate bankers, who were really nothing
but mortgage dealers. have failed,
But this is only natural consequence
of shrinking real estate values"

New York, Dec. 23.-The demonstra-

under the auspices Of the Society Of
American Friends of Cuba last night
was a remarkable one. -Four thousand
men marched from East Eighty-sev-

Fred Meyer, survivor Of the Virgin

into ten columns. A large American
flag was borne ut the head Of the pro-
cession, which moved to the strains Of
a drum corps OF fifty pieces and four
bands. When the marcllers reached
Cooper Union the great hall was
crowded and few of them were able
to wedge their way in. Col. Ethan
Allen, president of the Cuban league,
called the meeting 10 order and stated
Its object. Several times during Col.

Magyar Music.

OF Magyar art, music seems TO have
gained the widest admiration, and it is GER
tain that musical eNecutants of the first
order, and in the case of List of unique
grandeur, have justified part of the expecta-
tions with which musical Europe has long
looked upon Hungary. Magyar music can
be likened to nothing more aptly than to
the exclusively Hungarian river Thesis.
Capricious and majestic; teeming with life
and sitting up for miles; surrounded by
charming Torture of water lilies and alder
trees and suddenly again by poisonous
marshes and sWamps, such is the TheiSs-

It is mainly recitative beyond time as IL

English Children as Gift-Tnkers.

Harold Frederic In New York Times -
Every American man must remember the
shock of surprise with which he first en-
countered in an English novel the notion of
a schoolboy, a gentlemans SON. taking
money a gift from his parents friends
and guests. Nothing could have been more
foreign to the American idea, in my time.
than that, and l suppose it is still the
same. Neither parents nor boys could
nave submitted TO the thought without
modification. But here the feeling, or at
least the fact, is quite different A hard
working man, who lives up to the last pen
y of a meager professional income can
give half-sovereign tip to the schoolboy
son of a friend or acquaintance of his who
mas S2t,tnO a year, and the boy will pocket
1t, and The father Will, at the most. look the
ether way L used TO think that this had
its explanation in the fact that parents and
children Were not united by so close a
tcnd here as in America, and that the
father cared less than an American father
would care for the dignity and self-respcct
Of his son. ON the other hand, however IL
is certain that the English father holds
himself responsible for his son, and spends
money solicitously in trying to start him
in life long past the stage when an Ameri-
can youth would be expected to 20 out
and shift for himself And indeed the
older one gets the palmer it is TO be seen
That any and every attempt to dogmatiZe
about the difference between the two peo-
pies of the two countries must be subject
TO all sorts of reservations and contradict
ing notifications. But ii is true that the
English child is allowed TO cadge for money
in way which is unknown to the Arleri-
can child of the same social grade and that
this Is by no means confined TO relatively
poor people. This fact has always seemed
10 me to rob the English child Of q great
deal of the interest which with us attaches
TO childhood. Not ! alone lind him less in
teresting; it is a universal judgment upon

Nelasquez.
From the Nineteenth Century.

FROM tne Nlnetecntn
Like Rembrandt, he gradually worked uI
to the mastery and summary handling
that distinguishes his later style through
an early period, which was characterized
by great precision and some hardness
Indeed, it may be laid down as general
law IN painting "a law to which l should
like to call the attention of my friends, the
impressionists) that the only way to ar
rive at a really mastery sketchiness is to
do great deal of preliminary work in a
very precise and careful style. Even when
the method of NelasqueZ was most rapid
and summary, it never deseaerated into
carelessness; indeed, he was one of the
few court painters who have been able 10
resist the deteriorating influences of his
surroundings. Holbein was another, but
they were no doubt both of them men of
very exceptional character.
These surroundings, however, although
they did not degrade the man, have u,l-
doubtedly endangered his reputation as a
painter, for the constant demand for re-
pleas of his royal portraits necessitateG
his setting up a workshop, where these
replicas were produced by his assistants
Although he never did careless work him
self, yet he made himself responsible for
great deal of work that was done by in
ferior hands. 1t is this question of the
workshop that makes 1t so enormously diff
ficult to be sure of the genuineness of any
reputed work of the master. For instance
there were lately exhibited at the New
Gallery about forty pictures assigned to
Nelasquez, but l think most good judges
viii say that not more than six or seven
of them at the outside are by his hand
That NelasqueZ, when he mad a good
chance, could manage a portrait grour
as well even as the great Dutch painters
can be seen from the magnificent picture
of the surrender of Breda, commonly call
ed The Lances," of which there was q
poor copy at the New Gallery.
