Tho Wizard.

Edison, the Wizard, has been in
terviewed regarding his views of Gre
ation.
"After nineteen and moro centuries
Ut belief in religion through evidence
of miracles and moral utterances,
has science at last demonstrated
beyond doubt the existence of a
God?"
This ID the question put to Thomas
A. Edison in his laboratory the other
day.
Here is what he replied:
"Chemlstry undoubtedly proves
the existence Of a supreme intelli-
gence. No one can study that sci
ence and see the wonderful way in
which certain elements combine with
tho nicely Of the most delicate ma
chlnery ever devised and not come to
the inevitable conclusion that there
is big engineer who is running this
universe.
"Why, after years Of watching the
process OF nature, I no moro doubt
tho existence Of an intelligence that is
running things than I doubt the exis4
tence OF myself. Take for example
tho substance water, which forms tho
crystal known as ice. Now there are
hundreds Ut other combinations that
form crystals, and every one of them
save that Of ice, sinks In water. Ice
does not, and it ID rather lucky for us
mortals, for II 1t had done go we
would all be dead. WhyP II tho ice
sank to the bottom Of rivers as fast
as froze, these places would soon b
frozen mp and there would be no wat.

thousands that to me prove beyond
the possibility Of doubt the exis.
tence OF vast Intelligence that il

about the existence Of supreme in.

RUN ON MONTREAL BANKS.
THE TU0 RECENT FAILURES THROW
DEfOSITORS INTO A PANIC

Display of BnGs of Gold at tho Hochelagn
Bank Had Some Effect, but the Run Com
tinuod All DNy-All Demands Met-Scare
Mt the BRnque Nationnle-Stocks Fall.
MONTREAL. Aug. There was very nearly a
panic In Montreal financial circles to-day. and
serious results were only averted by the good
sense OF some OF the leading financial institu-
tons. Following the suspension OF the Vile
Marie Bank. owing to q defalcation. and the
Jacques Cartier Bank. as result OF run by
scared depositors. another run was started to-
day on tho Hochelaga, one OF the most solid
institutions In the city. but the bank was pre-
pared and promptly met all demands.
When 1t became apparent that the run was
likely to continue. President St Charles. Vice.
President Bickerdike and several OF the di-
rectors assisted in the payment OF the money,
Three additional paying wickets were estab-
lished. making four in ALL two in the savings
department and two In the general office.
The great rush was to the main wicket. There
the depositors had been accustomed to recev-
ing their money, and in their haste and excite
ment they overlooked the other three until d.
rected to them.
Early in the morning checks were paid In
paper money. but as the crowd increased the
gold was carried out OF the safes and piled up
on the counters before the tellers in full view
OF everybody. At first 1t was left In the bags.
but the officials thought the effect would be
more reassurlnE II the gold could be seen. and
they broke the seals and poured II out. The
display no doubt had the desired effect. and
some who had caught tho contagion OF the
panic lett the bank without withdrawing their
money. Towards / 30 O'Clock the prompt
ness with which the run had been met and
every check paid began to be felt. The crowd
and the excitement diminished. and Just before
noon the paying teller at the main wick ct
Strengthened up and heaved sigh OF relief. 1t
was the first breathing spell he had had since
taking his place behind the wicket at the open
ing OF tho bank. Three minutes later another
rush began. but II lasted only a few minutes
All afternoon the Withdrawals continued. but
the excitement gradually subsidized. and toward
o'clock the run ended.
The run was probably one OF the most excit-
ing Montreal has witnessed in a mber OF
years The position OF the bank Ia considered
exceptionally strong. its total assets amount
Ing to !.SS4.47 against total liabilities Of

There was also run on the BanQue Ma
tlonale. but all demands were promptly met
The run on the banks caused slump in the

In reference to tho hold-up OF the salaries OF

nothing OF q political nature In the case. There

from month to month. but IL was question
now, he said. whether such appointments
gould be considered legal. II they could not

He and Atterbury Disturbing Elements in
Brooklyn Republican Ranks.

Interest in the Republican faction fight in
Brooklyn was'stirred up airesh yesterday by the
published reports that Senator Plat had de-
creed the retirement OF Col. Michael j. Dady
and Walter B. Atterbury as Chairmen OF the
Executive and County Committee, respectively.
No one would vouch for the truth OF the story.
and there have been no indications that Sena-
tor Plat had interfered in the local squabble.
Some Republicans OF prominence. however.
have told the Senator that the ontnued domi-
nance OF Dady and Attsrbury In the organza-
tlon cannot fail to he destructive Of harmony
N the coming campaign. 1t is said that Col.
Dady himself is beginning to realize this fact.
and that even should he win out at the
primaries he will not be a candidate for the
Craftsmanship OF the Executive Committee.
Magistrate Jacob Bremen Of the Tenth ward
now seems to be the most favored Tor that
place.
Hugo Hirsch had a talk Yesterday with Dis
trict Attorney Steele in reference to the pro-
posed prosecution of Col. Dady for. perjury in
CONNECTION with the filing OF the list OF elec;;
tion officers for thc'Ffth ward. Mr. Steele told
him that as there will be no session Of the
Grand Jury until the middle Of September he
would suggest that il Mr.. Iiirsch had any COM

DENVER. Col. Aug 1.-The announcement by
