1t has been until recently allowable
as q practice for Treasury bank exam
liners to make private examinations of
banks within their jurisdiction, at extra
compensation from such banks as for
any reason desired special examinations
of their accounts. This practice, how
ever, has just been abolished by the
new Comptroller Of the Currency, Mr..
Dawes, who states that he believes the
stoppage OF the practice will relieve
examiners from any suspicion that such
special employment can in any way
affect the strictness OF their official dut-
les as applied to the banks under their
jurisdiction. The action is generally
commended as sensible one, and will
be food for thought for those persons
who always insist that the entire Gov.
erument is operated in the Interests o.
the banks OF the country.

plANA's MIRROR.
The Nemi Lake I'm Latium to BE Sold
mt Auction.

nt Auction.
The Nemi lake. in Latium, is by
judicial decree to be sold by auction.
In classic times, says the London
Daily Graphic, it was bounded by
vast forest, the whole region was sa-
cred to Diana and the bright surface
of the lake was called Speculum Di-
anae, or Diana's Mirror. There was a
temple of the goddess beside the lake
and it's priest was in the early days
of the empire the "king of the grove"
whose precarious existence is recorded
in Dean Farrar's Darkness and Dawn"
He was generally an escaped criminal,
who "slew the slayer and should him
self be slain"-that is, he held the
shrine by the right of having slain
the last hermit priest, till he himself
were dispossessed by n violent death.
In imperial times the lake and its
shores were the scene of many patri-
clan water fetes and the playground OF
the court of Tiberius. A few years age
one of the royal triremes, three
decker, was discovered here deeply sub
merged. 1t yielded n rich treasure
trove in coins, bronze heads of lions
and tigers and bronze etfigy of Me
dusa. The inscriptions showed that the
trireme was dedicated to Diana. The
lake is believed to be rich in archaic
treasures and records of the court o.
Tiberius and the cult of Diana.

AS Toledo is the only city in tn e
State that has shown any enterprise in
the work of arranging for the State
Centennial, it would seem that her cyl
dences of thrift and industry should
be rewarded by being designated as the
Centennial City. The citizens of the
Future Great are making great hus-
tie and demonstrating that the city is
not only the best adapted for the pur.
pose, and that her citizens are not only
willing but capable of making a sue
cess OF the Centennial, but are in posi-
tion to take proper care OF the visitors
who will come there.

while many people consider railroa

While many people consider railroad
managers to be rather calloused and
unfeeling and living only for the pur-
pose of making money and have no res
pect for the Sabbath day, the following
Information may have a tendency to
change that opinion somewhat: At a
recent meeting OF the Central Passen-
ger Traffic association, w. FL. Fisher,
general passenger agent Of the Buckeye
Route, introduced resolution for the
discoutinuance OF Sunday excursions.
Some OF the reasons urged in favor of
the resolution are that the running OF
such trains Is reaugnant to large num-
bers OF the better classes of people, that
they seriously effect the weekday trat-
&c and that they entail hardships upon
the employees OF railroads. When such
prominent officials take up the matters.
it is safe to predict that change is in
sight.

A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC.
Sword Which Tnrleton Carried at the
Battle of Cowpens.


A priceless relic of revolutionary days
has Just been placed in the state house
ut Columbia, S. c., for safe-keepiug. 1t
is the sword which Tarleton used in
leading the British troopers at the bat
tie of Cowpens, that state, against the
patriots under Morgan, Pickens, Sum
ter and Marion.
The sword is the property of Col. T.
E. Dickson, and has been placed with
the sword of Marion and other revolu-
tionary relics in the possession of the
state.
Tarleton lost the sword at the battle
of Cowpens, where the patriots won
such a signal victory, victory which
put fresh heart in their brethren
throughout the colonies and FASTENED
the coming of the triumphant end of
the war at Yorktown.
Col. William Washington, the gallant
leader of the American cavalry, pressed
Tarleton so closely in his fight as to
be able to have one exchange of saber
blows with the British leader. Wash
ington's sword cut Tarleton's finger
and the British colonel dropped his
steel, spurred his steed and obtained
safety by flight.
William Scott, the father of Col. Dick
sons mother. was an American soldier
in the battle of Cowpens. He saw the
fight between Washington and Tarleton
and picked up the latter's sword when
he dropped it. The sword has ever since
been preserved in the family as price
less trophy of ancestral prowess in the
revolutionary war.
The sword, or saber, for the blade
curves back so as to give greater force
to its blows, is long and heavy. The
blade is yard in length, while the hilt
is slightly over six inches long, with an
iron guard. There is a long scratch on
the guard and a cut in the iron knob al
the end of the hilt, which are believed
to have been made by the blow of Wash
ingtop's sword which forced Tarletor
to drop his weapon or which knocked il
out of his hand.
The iron shank of the hilt is cased il
wood, which was covered with leather
much of which has been worn away.
Upon the blade close to the hilt is en-
graved the word Potter" probably thu
name of its maker.
There are many notches in the blade
and some rust upon it, possibly mad
by the blood of patriots who had felt it
edge.
In this connection, il will not be amis
to repeat two anecdotes about Tarletol
and Washington.
The patriot ladies of the revolution
ary times had keen wits. On one occa
sion, Tarleton, in a Dragging moct
was telling a patriot lady how hewishe
he could meet their boasted Col. Wash
ington." Her prompt reply was: 81
: you had looked behind you when rur
ming away from Cowpens. your wis
would have been gratified."
On another occasion, Tarleton wa
speaking contemptuously of Col. Wi
liam Washington to a patriot lad,
"Why," said Tarleton, they tell me h
is so ignorant that he cannot even writ
his name" With meaning glance {
Tarleton's right hand, which Washing
, ton had wounded, the lady replied
{ "But nobody is better aware than yo
, Col. Tarleton. that Col. Washingto
knows how 10 make his mark."-Wasl
ington Star.

to be the choice OF the bar, but he de-

tTcatcrr Ice Caves.

At the foot Of Cow mountain, in Col
orado, the most remarkable caverns
have been found. There is series of
chambers of various sizes, the roofs
hung with enormous icicles. The water
from which these were frozen must have
been very pure, as in some of the cases
the reflection and refraction of light is
truly wonderful, the glitter suggest
ing the finest diamonds. The chambers
are connected by narrow alleyways, and
at a point distant from the entrance
there is a passage extremely narrow and
inclined. This leads to cavern some
500 feet in extent, containing enormous
quantities of ice, which has frozen in
all sorts of quaint and grotesque figures.
In the middle of this cavern there is a
lake G5 feet long. 1t is quite deep, the
water is as clear as crystal, and cool al
most beyond belief. The lake appears to
have no outlet, but there must be one
as the water never rises above n certain
level An effort is to be made to make
show place of this cavern and turr
the vicinity to account as pleasure re
sort. Certainly as a natural curiosity
the place is well worth n visit.-N. Y
