the cashier and Mr.. Quay, the interest
of 5000, 600 from the cashier, the natur-
al inference is that these men have
entered into a conspiracy. This might
be no direct evidence, he continued,
but there should be no doubt that a
conspiracy was conceived and carried
out.
Mr.. Rothermel read Mr.. Quay's let
ter to Cashier Hopkins directing the
purchase of 800 shares Of MetrOpolitan
stock. This he argued was unlawful
because the purchase was made with
bank money and no interest was
charged. He showed by the evidence
that the state deposit during the six
months ending Oct 81, 1897, ranged
from $525,00 to over $500. 900, and that
other loans We're made to Mr.. QUAY
without interest. The check of rJop-
kins to Treasurer Haywood for sl,5I9
was discussed Mr.. Rothermel said
the banks books showed this amount
was the interest on state funds, less
20 per cent. for the bank and less in
terest of 100000 for the use of Mr..
Quay.
The red book" had been designated
as unreliable, but connected with the
other books of the bank, he asserted,
that it was the key To the proof of the
charges. He went over certain entries
sworn to by Meyer Goldsmith, the ex-
pert, TO disclose the fact that the de-
fendant and Haywood We're paid in

the fact that the red book came into
existence in 1891 coincident with tho
passage Of the law creating state bank

Hopkins wished TO keep his Illicit

what was due him for his services. Mr..
Goss said the public was ungrateful, and
he made it seem that sometimes civil en-
gineers are martyrs.
Mr.. Hill was present, and at the night
session he read a paper on "Purification of
Public Water Supplies" He said those who
do not study the matter are disposed to be
incredulous on the subject of water pollu-
ton. 1t is matter that is not well under
stood, even by engineers, he said, unless
they have given peculiar study to it. He
told how rivers are polluted by the land
wash, how typhoid fever is generated by
impure water and then, by the aid of a
stereopticon, describes different methods of
publication of public water supply.

Lodge of Knights of Pythias ninety-nine
year lease on about five acres of ground on
the government reservation in Hot Springs,
Immediately adjoining the United States
Army and Navy Hospital, for the express
purpose of erecting and maintaining a ma
tional Pythian sanatOrium. The Supreme
Lodge, at its recent convention in Indian
apOlis, by almost unanimous vote, ac-
cepted this donation and referred all mat
ters to the Grand Lodge of Arkansas, with
full power to act.
The joint committee has decided to recon-
mend the levying of per capita tax of 81

domain who is in good standing. to be paid
al the rate of 20 cents year, 10 cents with
each semi-annual report for a period of five
years, provided. however that the payment
shall not begin until the Grand Lodge of
the domains representing 100000 members
shall have adopted the resolution levying
the tax"
The site of the proposed sanatorium is on
the, south. slope of Hot Springs mountain
and is valued at $250,000 The building will
cost 100000. 1t is proposed that each
knight who stops at the institution shall
pay the nominal sum of 81 a week. which
will include all expenses. 1t is believed
that an endowment fund of $50, 600, to-
gether with the revenue derived from the
place, will be sufficient to run the sana-
forum.

EngliSh'S-ssThe Sign of the Cross"
Fortune favors the brave, it is said and
the adage was certainly verified in the cor
dial reception given THE Sign of the
Cross" which began its second engagement
at Englshs yesterday with a crowded matt
nee audience. While not so large, the audi
ence last night was of hattering size and
made up in enthusiasm for what it lacked in
numbers. 1t was certainly display of
temerity to attempt TO put on a play for a
four days engagement so soon after Mr.
Mansfield's magnificent production of
"Cyrano dc Bergerac," but in this case
temerity received reward instead of punish
ment. Mansfield seems to have stirred up
the theatrical business. THE Sign of the
Cross possesses great attraction of ma
ture peculiarly its own. 1t would be diff
cult to point to any one feature of this
powerful drama of Rome in the days of the
early Christians as containing its power of
catching and riveting the attention of an
audience. Perhaps it is rather a combina-
ton of features that constitute that power.
The play does not in the least lack the aid
of beautiful scenery and stage settings. The
third scene of Act 2, showing the grove
by the Cestrian bridge. with the Christians
engaged in their Worship of song and
prayer. was of such surprising beauty and
interest as to evoke prolonged applause and
three or four curtain calls The two indoor
scenes of the third act, revealing the houses
