THE TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL.
The Greatest sham Battle on Record will
Take Place Tomorrow.

This is Military week at the Gem
tennial. Those who love the rattle
of musketry, the clash of arms, the
boom of cannon, the glitter of sa-
bres and bayonets, and all those
sights and sounds which are the
true accomplishments of real war,
are having their taste for amuse-
ment in that direction fully salts
fed, for a great sham battle will be
given which is to include in its ma
chinery of movement the service of
two thousand men.
The battle will be fought to NOR
row Saturday, and will prove a
conspicuous event, because of the
presence of about 1000 men en-
camped on the military plaza this
week.
Chief among the companies now
at the Centennial is the Fourteenth
Ohio Regiment aud its splendid
regimental band of twenty-five in
struments, with Colonel Colt, OF
Columbus, commanding. This reg
iment will take part in the sham
battle, and others which will be en-
gagged on the scene of war will be
one battalion of the Fourth United
States Infantry, with its band; the
First Tennessee Regiment aud its
excellent band, Col. w. G. Smith
commanding; Battery A, Artillery
Captain Cummings commanding
and a battalion from the Washing.
ton Light Artillery of New Orleans
Major Richardson commanding.
This will make a total of abou
1000 men, the largest fighting force
ever facing each other since the late
civil war.
1t will be a realistic spectacle
so very realistic, indeed, that it viii

A curious feature OF the relief from
the plague in India, near Bombay, is
the camp where 10000 persons are at
work. Among these are many women
with babies, which have to be looked
after. With nearly thousand babies
to care for, the confusion at aightfall,
when the mothers came to reclaim them,
was indescribable, so the officer in
charge treated them on the umbrella
and coat principle. He provided each
of the babies with string and ticket
in duplicate, one being hung around the
baby's neck and the other given to the
mother. By this means each mother
gets her own offspring and all are

OLDEST BANK IN THE WORLD.
Founded mt Naples in 1889 and Been
in Existence Ever Since

in Existence Ever Since.
1t will probably surprise a good
many people to learn that the eldest
bank in existence is the Ba...i of Naples,
which has lately been passing through
such troublesome times. The British
consul at Naples, in his report for last
year, furnishes some details of the
foundation of the bank in the sixteenth
century, which the Manchester eng
landD Guardian mentions. and points
out that the earlier banks, the Monte
Necchio of Venice, and the B2nco Saa
Giorgio at Genoa. established in the
twelfth century, and the Bank of
teenth century, have all ceased to ex-
list. The report fixes the foundation
of the Bank of Naples at 1898 ard the
institution is therefore far cider than
the Bank of England, which was cstab-
lished in 1894. 1t is in the unique po-
sition of having a considerable capital
to which no one la.Ts any claim. For
the explanation eff this curious state OF
affairs one has to go back to the time
when the Neapolitans, IN order to re-
ceive Charles V. with great Poup and
magnifcence, obtained vast loans from
the Jews against valuable pic. Ees, The
difficulties of repayment were solved
in right royal fashion by the king can
ishing the Jews, but the Jews con-
trived before leaving to dispose of their
securities to the Neapolitans on very
easy terms. The buyers offered the
pledges to their original owners at a
reasonable profit on the transaction,
and also offered further loans without
interest on the old security. Philan-
thropic gifts were then made to the in
stitution on condition that it advance
loans without interest, ard il this way
the bank started practically as char
liable pawEbroker, Gradually, how
ever, it developed into a bank doing
ordinary commercial business, and up
to nearly the end of the seventeenth
century prospered greatly.-N. Y. Her.

MAMMOTH MAINE CUSTARDS.
Served at the Annual Meeting of the
Hartford CuStard Pie AsSOciatfOn


Hartford Custard Pie Association.
Unique among the organizations of
New England is the Hartford Custard
Pie association. The association start
ed in rather a commonplace manner.
One cold winter morning in 1860 Will
liam B. Cushman and Charles Irish,
neighboring farmers of this town, met
after some preliminary bantering, dur
ing which each claimed to be able to
eat the most custard pie, and appoint
ed the following fast day for custard
pie-eating contest, their wives to be
cooks and judges.
AT the stated time they met with
their wives and two huge custard pies
at Mr.. Irish's sap house in his maple
orchard, and Mr.. Cushman, who had
spent the forenoon in walking over the
great hills as a sort of training for the
occasion, proved the better pie eater.
The next fast day several other farm
ers of the neighborhood, with their
families, joined them, and the meeting
was changed from pie-eating contest to
a social gatheringl After this they
met each fast day, and the story of
their good times spread until almost
all the farmers, with their families, for
miles joined the association. .
The last meeting of this prosperous
association was held the other day at
the residence of William B. Cushman.
About 60 persons attended, each bring
"a two-gallon milk pan. During
the forenoon, while the women
were preparing the dinner, the men
were passing the time rolling nine
pins, pitching horseshoes, playing
cards and in other amusernents.
! When dinner was announced a scene
was presented such as was never seen
elsewhere in New England, and prob
ably never in the world. The long ia
bles extending along the spacious
rooms were loaded with the great two
gallon custard pie, made CT freshly
laid eggs, rich new milk and cream,
sweetened with such fresh maple sugar
as city lips seldom taste, baked as only
i country housewives can bake when
they make the effort of their lives,
slightly Drowned on top and sprinkled
with fragrant nutmeg.
When this unrivaled delicacy was
washed down with simmered maple
sap or country cider, sparkling with
the sunshine the apples had stored the
previous summer. it seemed the near
est approach to the fahled nectar of the
gods that human skill had ever at
tained. Toasts were proposed and
happy responses made.
/ After dinner the men again rolled
ninepins, pitched horseshoes and en-
gagged in other pastimes, while the
women cleared the tables and prepared
the rooms The tiddlers appeared, and
the party passed the evening in the
merry whirl Of country dances.

liam Cushman secretary. No other
