New Rule for Broken Banks.

San Francisco, Nov. Am important
banking decision has been rendered by
United States Circuit Judge Morrow in
the case of j. F. Aldrich, as receiver of
the Tacoma National bank VS. Louis d.
Campbell. Judge Morrow ruled that the
comptroller of the currency has jurisdic-
ton to enforce by assessment the individ.
ual liability of the stockholders of an
insolvent national bank, equally and rat
ably and not one for another, to the ex-
tent of the amount of their stock in the
bank at the par value thereof.
Acting within this clearly defined au-
thority an order of the comptroller direct
ing an assessment is absolutely conclusive
upon the stockholders of the bank and
can not be controverted by them in any
defense they may seek to interpose against
an action based on such an assessment.

Ing course In oratory at the univer-
sity. Both of them live on 57th street.
Miss Smithkins has blonde hair and
innocent blue eyes. Lessons in elocu-
ton and Delsarte have taught her to
talk with her eyes and smile with her
reddish hair. Larkins was captivated
as he passed the Smithkins home on
his way to the Illinois Central station.
They had never spoken except with
their eyes, and Larkins not being as
we'll up in Delsarte as Miss Smithkins,
may not have said all that he thought
be did. When he judged the acquaint-
ance was we'll established, he wrote
Miss Smithkins note. He received no
answer. Another note met the same
fate. The third was found pinned to q
lamp post next day just in front of
Larkins' boarding house. Seventeen
people in the house had read it before
Larkins suspected what the fun was
about. There, on violet-blue note pa
per, with Miss Smithkins' name cut
out, was Larkins' touching epistle, in
which he compared his authenticated
lady to "a star" declared that she ''had
broken his heart" and wanted to know
when, If ever, she intended to answer
his note and fly with him from stern
parental objections.

WnshingtOns in Portland.

Portland, Or, Nov. 5.-Amid the toot-
ing of steam craft, the whistle blasts OF
sawmills and factories and the ear piercing
shreks of locomotives on both sides OF
the Willamette river, 425 men OF the First
regiment, Washington volunteers, with
three young Filipinos, rolled into the Port
land union depot.
Twelve heavily laden and handsomely
decorated tables had been set in the large
drill hall of the armory and in and out
among them fluttered more than a score
of the matrons and maids of the Oregon
Emergency Corps, which noble organiza-
ton for more than a year has given sus-
tenance, encouragement and Godspeeds TO
every regular or volunteer regiment that
has passed throunh Portland going to the
front or returning after years cam
paign. AT the command of General Sum
mers the men seated themselves and at
once fell to and the viands contributed by
the patriotic women of this place disap-
peared like Filipinos before a charge I'M
der the command of Colonel Wholley.
Upon the arrival of the volunteers in
the armory, while they were being seated
and even after they had begun the assault
upon what was before them, a large
crowd of onlookers in the gallery cheered,
clapped their hands, waived their hand
kerchiefs and amid it all was the piercing
whistle of the young element which al
ways holds the hero in high repute wheth-
er he is viewed from the street or the up
per gallery.
Having made fairly clean sweep of
the substantial things before them, few
remarks followed.

went to the Derby and blued every

lives. 1t was sort of judgment on
us, thought at the time.
"a few days after Joe called round to
see me. AS he shook hands he laughed

OF explanation, he had been to see old

peared he had accidentally encountered
Muster, who seemed delighted to see
him, and insisted on his going indoors.
"One of the first things Joe's eyes Lit
ON as he entered the little front parlor
was the great auk's egg. A big hole
had been made In the side, disclosing
the fact that 1t was hollow. Been get

Joe, laughing. Yes returned the old
man. in pleasant tone. Was it yellow

show he didn't he went and got out
some whisky and behaved like a brick.
I'VE both agreed the old fellow must

Soon after Billy Muster moved from
Chaplain and took a large house up
west, where he lived for some years In
good style. When asked by his friends
where the money came from, he said
he had made very successful specula-
ton. 1t was only when he shuff1ed off
this mortal coil that learned that
had been fool enough to let fortune
slip through my fingers. for that bless
ed old great auk's egg was crammed
with precious stones, which the curl
sostty Of the Old man had Unexpectedly
laid bare. 1t was supposed that sailor
coming off a long voyage had, in a
drunken bout, lost treasure which he
brought from a foreign shore, and
Billy Muster had luckily bought it,
Yankee Blade.
