OBJ AN OLD FAMILY.
The title dates back only to 1903, when
the then Maharajah Clutter Singh was
formally recognized and invested by
the British government. But the origin
OF the family can be traced as far back
as the reign of Emperor Akbar, whose
lieutenants they were in the province of
Behar. ~
The present maharajah. Rameshwar
Singh. is now In HIS forty-second year.
Few orientaIs have more successfully
combined the apparently Incompatible
characteristics of East and West and
the maharajah stands out today as one
of the most statesmanlike of Hindu r11l-
ers In our Indian empire. Short as his
reign has been so far, he has earned the
commentator of all who have come In
contact with him.. A prince of British
India, his position is assured alike by the
extent of his great influence and by the
Western character Of his ideas.
The growing friendliness of such a man
for Lord and Lady Curzon is viewed
with pleasure by those interested in the
welfare of India, for If the hearts of the
native princes are with the queens rep
resentatives the stability of the govern
ment is doubly assured. To have won
so emphatic a demonstration Of regard
from the maharajah of Durbhunga shows
that in the future Of the great Indian en-
pire the American wife Of Lord Curzon
is destined to play significant part

NEW YORK, July 29.-The New York
Financier says:
1.-The statement of the New York clear
ing house banks for the week ending July
80 cannot be regarded as a favorable ex-
hibit, although there is good reason for
saying that it does not show the real
condition of the banks at the close Of
business Saturday. The loss of nearly
81, 500 900 in, cash, for example, is much
more than the six days operations call
ed for. The contraction of $12, T39, 200 in
deposits reduced reserve requirements by
over 100000, so that despite the shrink
age of 81, 429 800 in specie and legaIs, the
excess declined only 81, 24, 475, leaving the
surplus at sos 125. The deposit loss. as
usual, is to be traced to a few of the
more important institutions, the National
City bank alone being responsible for
about S., 000, 900 of the total On the other
hand the gain of nearly as much by the
National Park bank, accompanied by
propOrtionate addition Of specie, stands
in direct contrast with the trend of the
other banks.
1.-The liquidation in loans continues, the
decrease of 1884, 800 in that item for the
week making a total of more than S34-
100000 in four weeks. In the same time
deposits have declined $40 009, COG and spe-
Gle and legals something in excess of 81
900, 600. 1t is to be noted that while on
July the surplus reserve was but s., 0OO,-
Ou0. the clearing institutions, despite the
fact that they have $4,000 900 less cash
now than at that time still report Sc, 600 Goa
more of excess reserve. This has been
made possible by the liquidation of out
standing commitments. but it is becom-

grades. Owing to a number of reverse
curves, 1t has been impossible for passen-
OF track and 1t has proven a source of
considerable loss in running time for en-
gneers. When the track was first laid
the engineers sought the ravines. since
1T was less expensive to follow them than
to make long cuts through the hills nee
essary in order to straighten the track
Early this year the Omaha engineers
under the supervision of Chief Engineer
Johnson, made surveys in this district and
track. An embankment was begun
stretching from the eastern end of the
curve near Knapp to point where the
road enters the hills again directly across
the valley. From that point line was
surveyed. following the old track as close
ly as possible, to the level ground out
side the range Of hills. Cuts have been
made which take out the curves on the
line or the old track after leaving the
valley, nearly all of them through solid
rock, and when the work is completed the
line from Knapp west will be an almost
direct route
The construction of the embank1nent

construction trains were run Little by
little earth was filled IN below until If

Ing. Then second tier of bridge work
was constructed and rails laid and the
same process followed. The embanknlent
is almost completed at present and when
ready for use will be about sixty feet in
height through the center OF the val
ley.
Some idea Of the tremendous amount
of work involved is gained from the fact
that 100000 cubic yards of earth are re-
CURED for the embankment, and seventy
hVe men, with two construction trains
and steam shovels, have been EMPLOYED
on 1t all summer Chief Engineer john
son stated yesterday that the work will
cost $4,000, and will do away with the
grades and curve, which is very sharp.

and curves west will give the Omaha val
liable returns in saving time and doing

been expensive and unsatisfactory.

An en1bankment 1900 feet in length
and fifty feet in height is in process of
construction at Knapp Wis, a point on
the Omaha. It's completion will cut off
ali immense curve, on which there is
heavy grade, and with work which is be-

since 1T was first laid. The work will cost
approximately $4,000, and will be complet-

The main embanlzment, which lies g.

added to her list of unsought admirers

a compliment even to a viceroy and vice

former toward the viceroy and his lovely
American wife.

Loans are now the smallest since the

months banks have lost s2S. coo, coo in spe-
Gle and legals. The continued loss of cash
to the treasury and the approach of the
crop season, with its demands on the re-

er to her highness the Maharajah Scindia
OF Gwaltor, and are deservedly famous
for their beauty. Everything connected
with the estate being directly supervised
by European managers, there is none of
that sGua1or and splendor which are so
common among Orientals. In the palace
itself the decorations are harmonious and
tasteful; the magnificent silver furniture
is free from any faint of vulgarity;
there are no cheap oleographs upon the
walls, nor taWdry ornaments to distract
from the effect. This fact alone, indeed,
would serve to render the Durbhunga
palace remarkable among Eastern resi-
denceS.
HIS RACING PRIZES.
Especially conspicuous are two mas
SIVe silver goblets, the viceroy's cup and
blue ribbon of the Indian turf, won twice
by the late maharajah, whose racing
stables were managed by no less an ex-
pert than Lord William Beresford, whose
acquaintance was recently made by
Americans when he passed through the
country on his way home from China
The accompanying portrait shows the
maharajah himself, sitting surrounded
by his relatives and suite. His highness
is represented wearing the costly neck
lace and sword presented to him on his
accession by the government of India as
khillat Literally robe of honor. The ele-
plants owned by the maharajah, to which
Lady Curzon has taken such a strong
fancy, are seen in another photograph

state is the most magnificent creature of
the herd. Whenever a rider dismounts
from or mounts this animal the family
priests invoke protracted blessing in
monotonous sing-song. In addition to a
silver goad resembling Neptune's trident
the mahout carries a fly 1apper, while
behind it is an umbrella of white silk
bcrdered with pearls, both emblems of
oriental sovereignty. The curiously
carved howdah is of the finest silver. The
head ornaments of the elephants are
gorgeous, even its tail being utilized in
the general scheme of decoration The
covering IS thickly caked with gold, and
two long strings of pearls are suspended
from behind the ears. The elephant is the
finest of his highness' herd. but it is only

BEGINNING OF DARKNESS.

Her homes with their statuary and pic

began to grow empty. The yacht and the

but one topic-a child
So she went mad. It was no violent
outbreak; just the breaking down Of rea-
son. The husband refused to believe it.
He would do everything. Take her any
where, give up his business, visit Mexico,
Europe, the north pole if necessary
thing to save her reason! But he was
comforted; he saw DR.. Shelton, the ex-

Perhaps perfect rest and quiet would re-
store the brain to it's normal state.
