namely, $6S6,6O0.OO0 In the fall OF 1895 the
amount had declined to $64S JOOOO
Loans and discounts reached their maxi
mum between 1864 and 1880; I'm 1915 the
amount was SSS4, 100000. In 1880 that
amount was exceeded by $50 300.ODO: with
one exception from that date to lS,2 there
was a rapid increase, and the highest point
ever reached was i'm October, 1882 namely
&, Ill ,O00o0O. In 1893. there was a drop

Mr. Depew has undertaken to conquer the

for a man sixty-three years of age Mr..
Depew made an excellent start" This in
formation is not wholly satisfactory; what
we really wish to know is where he landed
after he made the excellent start With a
kind friend holding the wheel by the han
die bars and another kind friend giving a
gentle push In the small of the back 1t is
easily possible for gentleman of any age
to make an excellent start; but what about
the exciting period known in dramatic pro-
auctions as the denouement? What came
after the start? How many seconds inter-
vened before the awful crash? Did Mr..
Depew go over the handle bars or did he
accomplish the side fall? Did he steer for
the curb or did he select puddle in the
middle of the road as a proper resting
place? All these are details without which
no bicycle story is complete.

in 1880. Mr. Langford has always re-
garded her as a faithful and capable
domestic, but one who was not strong.
From one or two interviews held with
her in 1891, at which she became very
violent, because. as She said her lover
had married another girl, he and his
family became convinced that she was
insane. Mr.. Langford told of an at
tack made upon DR.. Wheaton, with a
revolver, accompanied by threats Of
killing, because Miss Newman was I'M
der the deIpsiOn that the doctor had
disclosed to the police where she was
hiding at the time they were looking
for her.
H. W. Bartlett told how on one oc-
caSiOn she had met him in the Pioneer
Press building in ST. Paul and re-
preached him for lying about her in
q justice court trial, and then fol-
lowed up her reproach by a blow.
Rev. S. G. Smith thought Miss New
man the victim Of a deluSiOn in the
nature OF fancied prosecutions on the
part of others, and pronounced her case
one of melancholia
DR.. l.. M. Crafts, who was present
at the examination in the probate
court, said that she might be called a
degenerate of neuraSthenic origin; she
was undoubtedly insane to a greater
or less degree, but he thought was
sane enough to understand the nature
of the proceedings against her, while
she might not perhaps, have an appre-
citation of her connection with crime.
He thought. however, she could tell
her story clearly enough to enable her
attorney to provide a defense. Dr. w.
A. Jones thought the woman was sane
and capable of making a defense. w.
II. Donahue, her attorney under ap-
pointment by the court, announced
that he should interpose a defense of
insanity at the trial. and the court
indicated that that might be proper
defense to make.
