BANKERS SUICIDE.
Evidence OF Guilty transactions
Cause President and Cashier to
XIII Themselves.


Vancouver, Wash, April 22.-Charles
Brown and f. L. Candy, president and
cashier, respectively, of the First ma
t.onal bank of Vancouver, which
was closed Saturday By the comp
tro1ler of the currency, committed
suicide Saturday night two miles
from this city, by shooting them
selves with revolver. Their bodies
were found Sunday morning lying to-
gether in small clump of bushes
about one-half mile north of the CO.
lumbia school, which is situated on
the outskirts of the town. They
both used the same weapon, and
Candy evidently died first, as the re-
volver was found in Browns hand.
1t is evident that Candy put the muz-
zle of the revolver in his mouth and
then blew the top of his head off.
Brown then took it and shot himself
in exactly the same way, falling over
Canby's body. Friday evening Candy,
upon being told by Bank Examiner
j. w. Maxwell that the bank would
went out in the yard behind the bank
and attempted to shoot himself. His
revolver failed to explode, although
AN five chambers were loaded. After
failing to shoot himself, Candy came
back into the bank, and he and Pres
ident Brown left together later, talk
| ing his revolver.
When Examiner Maxwell confront
ed the bank officials with the short
age of 1000, which he had discov-
cred, both men admitted their guilt.
1t is said that Brown and Candy had
been specializing in stocks. Beside
Browns body there was found
package containing $25 and a note
saying that the money belonged to
his daughter.
| While Bank Examiner Maxwell, who
is now in charge as receiver, has
made no official statement, it is
known that the bank has loaned n
large sum of money on insufficient
security. According to his report to
the comptroller of the currency there
is shortage of $4,000 in the banks
accounts. and it is understood that
n considerable portion of this
amount was loaned to Brown and
Candy on their personal notes. About
a year ago the bank reduced its capt.
tai stock from 100000 to $4,000. At
that time about one-quarter of the
so-called bad assets was charged
off, and has been carried as an as
set since that time.
| Following the arrival of United
States District Attorney Wilson II.
Gay Saturday night, a warrant was is
sued by Judge Miller, OF the superior
court, charging Brown and Candy with
the embezzlement of $4,000 of the
funds of the bank on January is, 1901.
The complaint contains four charges
Of embezzlement and misapplication
Of the funds of the bank. classifying the
books of the bank and issuing false
reports of the banks condition to the
comptroller of the currency. Bank
Examiner Maxwell, who has been in
stalled by the comptroller as tempo
rary receiver of the bank, still refuses
to give out any statement of the af-
fairs of the bank. Both Brown and
Candy when confronted Friday by
Maxwell with false entries in the
books made a full confession.

There is an odd feature in the theol-
ogy of the small Indian tribe of the
Bella Coda, which inhabit British Co
lumbia in about latitude 81. They be-
Meve that there are FIVE worlds, one
above the other, and the middle one is
our own world, the earth. Above it
are two heavens, and un er 1t are two
underworlds. In the upper heaven is
the supreme deity, who is a woman,
and she doesn't NEEDLE much with the
affairs in the second world below her.
The zenith is the center of the lower
heaven, and here Is the house of the
gods, in which live the sun and the rest
of the deities.
Our own earth is believed to be an
island swimming in the ocean. The
first underworld from the earth is
inhabited by ghosts who can return
when they wish to heaven, from which
place they may be sent down to our
earth. If then they misbehave again,
they are cast into the lower of the un-
derworlds, and from this bourne no
ghostly traveller returns.
The Bella Coola are sun worshipers,
for Senex, the sun, the master Of the
house of gods, who also Is called "the
father" and 1.-The sacred one" is the on
ly deity to whom the tribe pray. Each
family of the Bella Coda has it's own
traditions and it's own form of the cur
rent traditions, so that in the mytholo-
gy Of the tribe there are countless
contradictions. When any one not q
member Of clan tries to tell q tradi-
ton which does not belong to his clan,
1t Is like white man trying to tell
another's joke-he is considered as ap-
propriating the property right which
does not belong to him.

Port-au-Prince, the capital, is-by
consent Of all who have had opportuni-
ty Of comparing it with other cities
the filthiest place in the world. The
town was laid out by the French, and
the streets are wide. 1t is only their
great width that makes them passa-
BILE, for the roadway before his dwell
ing Is every householder's rubbish
shoot, and slab sided pigs and starveling
dogs perform all the sanitary offices
for the town of Port-au-Prince save in
the rainy season, when a heavier storm
than usual comes to flush the open
drains In consequence the populace
live in an atmosphere of combined
cesspool and ash pit, which by all the
laws Of hygiene should produce chronic
plague.
The FREQ and Independent negro leads
the life that most nearly approaches
his ideal They have proverb in the
country that ''only white men, black
women and asses work." and there is
truth in it. The black man lies around
all day sleeping in the sun. His utmost
effort is to play dice or watch a cock
fight, but sleep is his favorite occupa-
ton, and he can do that better than
anything else. In the country dis
tricts the old plantations have long
since slipped back into the luxuriant
overgrowth of the forest. In town
any trading done is by the women and
by foreigners. Undisturbed by the
white man, to whom he Is insolent, the
town bred negro is pacific enough. The
only exertion demanded of him Is to
avoid the attentions Of the police. =

lighting Up the Coliseum.

The Romans have the hideous habit
dc periodically lighting the Coliseum
during the tourist season with Bengal
lights and, what is more amazing still,
usually succeed in making a financial
success of it. although no one was ever
known to go twice.
There is the additional abOminatiOn
in these days of big brass band and
a chorus of 100 voices in an invocation
to the Flavian amphitheater. The eff
feet is tremendous. but somewhat stun
ming to those who are accustomed to
their Coliseum empty and flooded
with peaceful moonlight, where pic
lures from the past rise with the clear
ness of second sight, and no sound is
heard but ones own breathing or the
song of the nightingale. Contrast with
such a scene the red, blue and yellow
Bengal lights, the smoke, the cOnfu-
sion, the hundred shrieking throats
and the clang of the brazen instru-
ments! Imagination shrinks and curses
the Roman of today with whom such
a thing is possible. But is it his fault
AS l said before, it is great financial
success, and the Italians certainly de-
not patronize 1t. Query, Who does?-

one afternoon he came back to the cot

other things, that he had one hour In
which to pack his traps and quit the

A Tutor who Maintained HI. Dirntt,

A Tutor Who Maintained His Dignity.
DR.. Chalmers always had a high
sense of personal dignity. When a
young man, he was engaged as tutor in
private family. His young lady pu-
pills resented his strictness, and the
mother foolishly took sides with her
daughters. In petty spite when COM
pany was invited to the house young
Chalmers was shut out from the table,
and dinner was sent to his room.
He made no protest against the
treatment, but when it was attempted
again he told the servant he had order
ed dinner at a neighboring town and
should need nothing. When this had
been done a few times, an explosion
came. The master of the house called
Chalmers to account for insulting his
family. Chalmers replied that he had
been insulted by Punishment from the
table. The young teacher conquered
and ever after held his place as one of
the family at all social gatherings.

How They Broke Up.

An amusing story is related in Ca
madam Savage Folk of the manner in
which an adjournment was taken by a
mass meeting A missionary who had
started school among the Indians met
with opposition, and the meeting had
been called in support of the rival
scheme.
There were several speakers who de-
nounced the school in existence. We
replied vigorously, showing the eff
cheney of the school and denouncing
in turn the methods adopted by the OPP
position. An Indian chief produced
some specimens of work done at the
school, and several speakers supported
the work as 1t was being done. The
climax was reached when gentleman
rose and said:
81 move the whole thing bustp'
The chairman put the motion.
s'It is moved and seconded that the
whole thing bustr'
The audience sprang to their feet
and, waving hats, yelled "Busted!' and
made for the door. Thus ended the
first and last opposition in that matter.

Open the door Of your heart, my lad,
To the angels of love and truth,
When the world is full OF unIlumbered ioya
In the beautiful dawn Of youth.
Casting aside all the things that mar,
Saying to wrong, depart;
To the voices Of hope that are calling you
Open the door of your heart.
Open the door Of your heart, my lass,
To the things that shall abide,
To the holy thoughts that lift your soul
Like the stars at eventide.

In the realms of song and art
Are yours If you'll only give them room.

The sob OF child in need.

You need no map or chart,
But only the love the Master gave.
