the Waterbury national bank, and the
statement that he is defaulter in the sum
OF $25, 900 or more.
Mr.. Farrar has been trusted employee of

bright young man. twenty-four years of
age, born and reared in the village of Wa

ment or what the bank now claims is a
shortage of at least $25 ,OCO
Mr.. Wells went on with the examination
Saturday evening and the bank officials, in
Guiding the president, exGov. W. P. Dill
lingham, were notified of the situation and
of Farrar's disappearance.
As the capital Of the bank is 100000, and
its surplus over $4,000, the bank officials
stated today that the loss could be readily
borne, and that the capital of the bank
would not be impaired. This, of course, is
provided that no further shortage is discov-
cred.
During the past few years Farrar has
handled all the funds of the village of Wa
terbury, and there should be balance in
the books in the towns favor of nearly
| 81 900. Whether the amount has followed
the funds of the bank, is not yet known.
1t is said that Farrar was heavy loser in
the Knott & Closson failure, and that he
has been specializing heavily OF late in a
bucket shop at Waterbury,
The loss falls upon Cashier Wells, as he
is paid lump sum for running the bank,
and is responsible for the help he employs.
The bank is closed today, pending the ar

THE WORLDS FAIR.

PARIS, April 14.--Today the Worlds
weather was bright with light clouds,
not enough to obscure the sun but en-
HANGING with light aud shade the bril-
liancy Of the spectacle OF the EXposi.
ton. The ceremonies began at 2 P.
M, when President Loubet and his
official party, followed by foreign am
bassadors in full dress, members of the
ministry and the Exposition commits
sioners on foot, proceeded up Champs
de Mars to Halle des Fates.
Within the big orchestra and cho
rus of mixed voices surrounded the
platform on which the officials were
grouped. The auditorium was crowd
ed with invited guests. The ceremony
opened with singing the "Marsellaise"
by the chorus and the audience, after
which the orchestra played Massenet's
"March Solonnelle," then M. Mile
rand in his capacity of commerce, made
a speech handi & the Exposition over
to President Loubet.
President Loubet said: SIN asking
the government and peoples OF the
world to make with us this synthess of
human labor, the French republic
wishes not only to institute competition
in the visible marvels of the world and
to renew on the banks of the Seine her
ancient renown for elegance and hospi-
tality, but her ambition is higher.
France wishes to contribute strlkingly
to the advancement OF harmony among
the nations. She has the conscientious
ness of working for the good of the
world at the end of noble century
whose victory over error is, alas, in
complete, but which bequeaths lively
faith in those institutions of social
economy which are engaged in spread
ing education, elevating labor and i'm
proving the conditions of mankind.
If the Exposition be ephemeral its
lessons are of incalculable value aud /
trust it is an augury of greater fratern-
ity and less misery in the twentieth
century. hereby declare the Expo
sition OPEN"
