Mr.. Starr, accompanied by his driver.
was passing along Jefferson street toward
Broughton, when the animal became
frightened upon seeing a car, which was
passing along Broughton street. and fall
tered when just about to cross. The track
was wet from the rain and the motorman
according to statements made to Mr..
Starr, was unable to bring his car TO a
stop or 10 check it's speed at that point
To get across the track, Mr.. Starr gave
the animal slash across the back with
the reins, which caused it to make a lunge
The buggy did not clear the track, how
ever and the rear wheel, becoming en-
gagged by the car platform, caused the
horse, buggy and occupants, which had
been at right angles to the car to be
twirled around alongside it. The abrupt
ness OF the turn threw Mr. starr violently
to the asphalt paving, and the big driver
came next piling on top of him. The
horse ran a short distance up the street,
where ii was stopped.

his right arm when he arose and at once
realized that il had been broken DR.. F.

SERIOUS PRACTICAL JOKE.

One Young Man Got a Marriage Lii
cense For Another.
A practical joke of a serious nature was
played on a well-known young man the
other day, and for a time his friends anu
relatives were very much annoyed. II
seems that he and another young man
who had been recently married, had some
argument about marriage licenses, which
resulted in a wager by the latter that he
could get the other a marriage license
without any difficulty. while the former
insisted that he could not. The matter
was dropped and for a time no more was
thought of it,
1t seems that the license was secured
the name of young woman known
slightly by both parties being given al
the court of ordinary. The license was
secured by the married man who gave the
names and ages of the parties mentioned
making several mistakes Walking into
the office of the innocent victim he tap
ped his pocket, remarking, 'I'vt got it,
I've got It. For the time no more was
thought of the matter until an hour or SO
later the issuing of the license was brought
to the attention of the relatives of the
young man, who had been made the vic
tim of the joke. When they quickly sought
information about ii they saw at once he
knew nothing of it. He was reminded of
the remark made to him, 1--WE got it,"
and then ,recahed the conversation, which
seemed to explain the matter.
The joker and the victim were both
sought shortly afterward, and the former.
it is unnecessary to state, was given a
lecture upon the seriousness of such a
matter. Had it not been discovered SO
early there might have been more annoy
ance about it than there was. This is one
of the practical jokes, however, which
would have better been left undone The
license was returned to the court of ordi-
nary, where it was cancelled and DESTROY

IN DOLLY MADIsON's DAY.
Washington Society as II Was in Old.
en- Times.

! OF Ai0C3s
Someone has been hunting up old
records regarding society doings at
the white house, and finds that Mar
tina Washington founded what has in
these days come to be known as the
reception, an institution not known
in the afternoon in the early days
of the republic. Mrs Washington
received from eight to ten on Friday
evening, the affairs being modelled on
the drawing-rooms then known to the
court of France. None was permitted
to attend, says an old chronicle, ex-
cept those who had high social and
diplomatic rank, and "full dress was
required of all who passed the ordeal
of social inspection" At Mrs. Wash
ington's drawing-rooms "Mrs. Nor
ris always sat at her right hand, and
at all dinners, whether public or pri-
vate, the venerable Robert Morris was
placed nearest the hostess" When
Dolly Madison was wife Of q president,
in 1915, she was described as in the
meridian of her life and beauty. Ra-
diant and beautiful, she dispensed
hospitality and exchanged courtesies
with unriyaled grace. She looked
and moved a queen. Her dress on
one occasion is described as of yellow
velvet, with garniture of pearls, and
she wore an elaborate headdress of
feathers, "a Paris turban, with bird
of paradise plume" One of her char
acteristics was that she never forgot
face.
1t was the custom Of the day TO take
snuff, and the beautiful Mrs. Madison
acquired the habit by being too polite
to refuse the frequently-ofered box.
When she was given a jeweled snuff
box for her own use she was diplomat
ically familiar with its service. "Her
snuffbox," wrote friend, chad magic
influence; who could partake Of the
offered dainty and remain at
enmity?" There was no lack of So
cial splendor, and six horses were not
considered too many in those days to
convey a president and his family
from one scene of festiyity to an
other. There was much closer line
drawn in regard to rank than there is
at present, in spite of the clever re-
mark of brilliant society woman of
that day, that ''the only rank in
America was rank mutton" The eff
feet of a social gathering was made
more brilliant than it is by the dress
of the men, who followed the style of
the court of France. Imagine a
"light-blue French coat with high
collar, broad lapels and large gilt but
tons; a, double breasted Marseilles
vest, a nankeen-colored cashmere

THE LOCOMOTIVE WHISTLE
A Historic Railway Collision was Re-
sponsible for Its Invention.

Here is the story of the evolution Of
the locomotive steam whistle; 1t was
invented because of the destruction
Of load of eggs. When the country
roads we're for the most part crossed
at grade the engine driver had no way
Of giving warning of his approach ex-
cept by blowing tin horn. The horn
was far from being sufficient warn
ing. One dayin the year 1888 farm
er was crossing the railroad track on
one of the country roads with a great
load of eggs and butter. Just as he
came out upon the track a train ap-
preached The engineman blew his
horn Justify, but the farmer did not
hear it. Eighty dozen eggs and 80
pounds of butter were smashed into
an indistinguishable mass. The rail-
way company had to pay the farmer
the value of his butter, eggs, horse and
wagon.
A director of the company, Ashland
Baxter by name, went to Alton
Grange, where George Stephenson
lived, to see if he could not invent
something that would give warning
more likely to be heard Stephenson
went to work, and the next day had a
contrivance which, when attached to
the engine boiler, and the steam
turned on, gave out a shrill, discord-
ant sound. The railroad directors,
greatly delighted, ordered similar con-
triyances attached to all the locomo-
tives. This has developed into the
locomotive whistle as we know it,

PRESIDENTS Boards.
Mckinley Slaves HimseIf-Gen. Ar
thu and Secretary Blaine.

Very few recent presidents, with
the exception of Mr.. Cleveland, have
been without boards. Grant, Hayes
and Garfield all wore them in varying
lengths. Arthur wore side whiskers,
with clean-shaven chin and lip; ex-
President Harrison, a full beard, and
Clevelandamustache Mckinley and
Bryan both have clean-shaven faces,
and both shave every day. AS Pres
ident Mckinley invariably shayes
himself, the method of his operations
has become somewhat famous among
those who know him.
Gen. Arthur was the first president
l knew to perform this part of his
toilet for himself. He was engaged
in this particular part of his toilet
at his home in Lexington avenue, in
fact, on that eventful morning when
Secretary Blaine came up from
Long Branch on September 20,
1881, to formally announce the death
of Garfield, and the consequent eleva-
ton of Mr.. Arthur to the presidency,
Gen. Arthur was upstairs at the
time, shaving Ex-Police Commits

OLDEST BANK in THE WORLD


of Naples.
Mr.. Neville Rolfe, our consul al
Naples, gives an interesting account
of the past history and present posi-
ton of the Bank Of Naples, which is
he says, the oldest bank in existence,
for the Monte Vecchio Of Venice and
the Banco San Giorgio at Genoa, both
founded in the twelfth century, have
ceased to exist, as also the Bank of
Barcelona, founded in the fourteenth
century.
The Bank Of Naples was founded
in 1889, and is a state bank with a
considerable capital to which no one
lays any claim; in other words, it is
a Joint stock bank, but with no share
holders. When Charles V. went to
take possession of the kingdom, his
new subjects desired to receive him
with becoming magnifcence, and,
therefore, contracted vast loans with
the Jews against valuable pledges.
These loans they were unable to pay,
and to get rid of the difficulty his
majesty banished the Jews from the
kingdom. The Jews managed be-
fore their departure to sell the pledges
to two Neapolitans at very easy prices;
the new holders offered them to the
original owners at a small profit, and
they also offered further loans with
our interest on the old security. Some
philanthropists stepped in and gave
considerable gifts to the new enter
prise provided loans without interest
were made. In 1878 the bank was es-
tablished on these lines, and was, in
fact, charitable pawnbroker. But
by degrees its scope enlarged into that
of a bank doing ordinary commercial
business. In 1884 it had an income
from government securities Of e., 800,
besides the capital necessary for car
rying on its business. In 1855, in a
commercial crisis, the government
forced it to lend Ell, 900 for two or
three years certain without interest.
The result was a loss to the bank, and
in a few years it was declared to be
$4,000 in debt.
In 1901 it had recovered its posi-
ton; but series Of frauds and losses
amounting to nearly 100000 Grip
pied it again. In December last Sig
nor Luzzatti proved to the chamber
that the bank had recently lost g.
100000, for great part of which the
branches at Genoa, Bologna and
Milan are responsible. Nothing short
of state interest can now save the
bank, and Signor Luzzatti was anxious
to incorporate it into national bank
of Italy on the lines of the Banks of
France and England. This, however,
met with very strong opposition in the
Neapolitan provinces. 1t is proposed
to issue government paper to the
amount of 45,000,O00 francs, which
represents the bullion in the hands Of
the bank, and from the interest ac-
cruing to form sinking fund to place
the institution on a sound financial
basis. The interest is fixed at 81 per
cent. net, instead of the normal rate
of At; the holder of the paper will thus
lose three-quarters per cent. in ex-
change for his government security,
and the government will lose the same
amount. Both parties would lose a
great deal more were the Bank of Ma
Piles to stop payment. = London
