The Chess-Playing Pope.

In his days of illness Leo XIII finds
his chief amusement in chess. His regu-
lar partner is Father Giulio, Dominican
monk. The Pope and the monk have been
playing against each other for over TWEEN
ty-one years, and it is yet undecided
which is the superior. When Leo, shortly
after his enthronization, introduced the
royal game in the Vatican some ascetic
Cardinals raised an Outcry, invoking the
decision of the Council Of Treves. which
forbade priests to play chess. The Pope
listened to these fanatics with a superior
smile on his lips. Il know all you want
to say" he remarked, land 1 tell you that
Bishop Petrus, who first thundered
against chess, and the Treves Council
were both mistaken. The latters decision
soon fell into disuse, and my namesake,
Leo X, openly averred that there was no
harm in chess playing. Even the fact that
Martin Luther, his adversary, was a pas
sionate chess player, made no difference"
In fact, both the Pope and Luther thun-
dered against games of chance while prac-
ticing chess.-Abbreviated from quotation

POWER OF COMPTROLLER
TO ASSESS BANKS
IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE
COURT OF APPEALS.
Judge Morrow Hands Down an Opin-
ion of Great Interest to All Ma
tional Banks in the
United States.

A decision of the United States Circuit
Court Of Appeals was handed down yes
terday by United States Circuit Judge
Morrow in the case Of ]. Frank Aldrich,
receiver of the Tacoma National Bank.
VS.. Louis D. Campbell. in the District Of
Washington.
The vital point at issue was as to the
power of the Comptroller of Currency Of
the United States to enforce the collec-
ton of assessments in the case of In
solvent national banks. In the opinion
the court holds that the Comptroller of
the Treasury has Jurisdiction to enforce
by assessment the individual liability of
the stockholders of an insolvent national
bank equally and ratably, and not one
for another, to the amount of their
stock in the bank at the par value there
Of
Acting with this clearly defined author
ity, Judge Morrow holds that the order
of the Comptroller directing the assess
ment is absolutely conclusive upon the
stockholders of the bank, and cannot be
controverted by them in any defense they
may seek to interpose against the action
based upon such an assessment. The par
value OF the stock of national bank is
500 for each share.
progress of proceedings in liquidation of
the Tacoma National Bank on April N.
1895, levied an assessment equally and
ratably upon all the shareholders Of the
bank at the rate of $65 per share. This
assessment being $35 per share less than
the par value did not exceed the jurlS-
diction of the Comptroller to raise within
that limit by assessment upon the stock
holders Of the bank funds to keep the
contracts, deeds and engagements. On
January 30 the Comptroller levied a sec
ond assessment of sl7 per share, making
a total of $50 per share. These two as
sessments being together S18 less than the
par value of the stock were within the
jurisdiction Of the Comptroller to make
in the proceedings which he had instituted
to wind up the affairs of the bank.
Against this second assessment, the
court holds It is no defense, either at
law or in equity, to say that the first
assessment was more than sufficient TO
pay the contracts, debts and engage
ments of the bank. Whether that assess
ment was sufficient is a question which
the law has placed wholly within the
power Of the Comptroller to. determine,
and without some showing of fraud, ac-
cident or mistake it must be deemed by
the court to have been insufficient and
the necessity for the second assessment
conclusive.
Judgment Of the court reversed and the
case remanded with instructions to sus-
tain the demurrer and dismiss the bill.

cent. In Massachusetts It has in
creased in thirty years 1S60 to 1890
from 10 to 80 to the 1000 900 living, and
IN n Connecticut from 81 to 103 per 1900
600. Norway seems to be the only
country in Europe where suicide is
diminishing. The latest figures given
by Or. T. di VERGE show that suicide
has in Italy continued the movement
OF ascent which is proper to it, rising
from $50 verified cases in 1872 10 1343 in
1881, and to 2000 in 1895" All who have
made special study Of this subject
nave arrived a the conclusion that
there is in Europe and North America
a steady Increase in the number of sui
cldes. Some writer's say that 1t is
mounting in Europe at the rate of 50,-
900 year.
Different causes have been assigned
by sociologists for this formidable
rise, DR.. Fehr, in his learned work,
Iniuenza as Cause of Insanity
Copenhagen, 1899, states that in Den
mark after the severe and widespread
epidemic OF this malady in 1SS7-Ss there
was observed rise in the number Of
suicides owing to the mentally de-
pressing and debilitating effects of this
disease. DR.. Ireland traces the great
er portion of the cases of suicide to
severe strain upon the nervous sys-
tenn which may be the outcome of a
multiplicity of causes Among these
causes may be mentioned the increased
strain of modern life upon the nervous
system, and this is said to be paral-
leled by the steady increase in insanity
in modern times. DR.. Ireland's
studies on the lunacy returns
of Norway, Massachusetts,, Ire
land and of various parts of
the continent accord with the conclu-
sions arrived at by Koch, Kollmann,
Cettingen and Luiner, who have made
laborious studies on this question
viz, that there is real increase of in
sanity. DR.. Ireland also lays stress
on the decadence of orthodox religious
belief in the great towns. "It is in
great cities like Paris, Berlin and
Vienna, where agnosticism abounds,,
that we have the greatest number, Of
suicides.
In recent issue Of the Revue des Deu1
Mondes (May, 1899. an article appear.
from the pen Of Louis Prool, entitled sui
cides from Poverty in Paris" In that ar
ticle, the cause of suicide was found to b,
the difficulty of obtaining constant worl
and the low state Of wages of some EN-
ploymentS.

The Sword Walking Trick.

IT had little party Of Jap jugglers on
the road in 1891" said an ex-theatrfcal
manager. and got on to good many of
their tricks. Most of them were surprts-
ingly simple in reality. and one that I
don't remember ever having seen ex-
plained was the feat Of walking barefoot
ed up a ladder of sharp swords. The
swords were Of the native straight-blad
shape, and were so keen that they could
easily slice a handkerchief in two in mid
air Before sticking them through the
uprights to form the ladder the head jap
always passed his thumb along the edge
Of each from hilt to tip. AS he did so he
drew out a narrow steel tape, which was
coiled on a spring in the handle. The tape
had q hole in the end which caught on
the point and held 1t in place, and it COM
pietely shielded the edge. After the walk
ing was over It was quietly released as
the swords were being taken out and flew
UP into the handle again. The weapon
could then be passed around for inspec-
ton. Most people supposed that the Jap
used some chemical to tougher his soles,
but the truth was as l have stated
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
