WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE comp
troller OF the currency today appointed
]. T. Sullivan, of his office, temporary
receiver for the Farmers National bank
of Vergennes, VT Bank Examiner FRANK
l.. Fish, during an examination of the
bank on April s. discovered a shortage
in the cash and a further Investigation
which has been conducted by Special In
spectOr John g. Cunningham, shows a
total embezzlement by the cashier, D. H
Lewis, Of $90000; after the discovery OF
the defalcation the examiner secured the
return of S25,000 to the bank. Until
more complete investigation into the acts
Of the cashier is made it is impossible
to state what loss, if any, will accrue
to the depositors. 1t is believed how
ever. that the loss to the depositors will
be large.
NOT YET ARRESTED.
Steps have been taken to place the
cashier in custody and his arrest is ex-
pected at any time. Mr.. Sullivan, who
was detailed from here, will remain as
days, when a permanent receiver is to
be appointed to take charge. The last
published statement of the condition Of
the bank bears date of Feb. s. Accord
ing to this statement the deposits then
amounted to an aggregate of about S46S-
OQ0. The rediscounts and the bills pay
able aggregated $4,000. 1t is believed the
statement was inaccurate in several
items. The capital of the bank is 500, 900,

TO CONTROL THE RIVER COURSES
Dresden Station, Where All Curves
Are Studied From Models.


Germany has for some time been grap-
pling with the problem Of making the riv-
ers of the Empire flow according to rule,
and an extensive experimental station,
called the Flussbau Laboratorium (river
building laboratory. has been set up at
Dresden in connection with the famous
technical school of that city.
II is the ingrained waywardness of a
river to do very much as it pleases
gouging out an embankment here and fit
ting a channel there sometimes under
mining a tower and often breaking dams
and piers placed in its way to keep it in
order. In Germany the question is i'm
portant for the reason that the country
is denseiy peopled, the land is more val
liable, and changes in the course OF flow
in n river are, therefore, more destructive
and costly.
II is with the idea of bringing scientific
methods to bear on these problems that
the Flussbau Laboratorium was estab-
lished about three years ago. A large
room is set aside in the basement of the
Dresden technical school. and here ele-
waited some four feet from the floor. Prof
Engels has had constructed an iron
trough or tank about seven feet in width
and two feet deep, reaching the full
length of the room. AT the upper end of
this trough a large river tank is placed,
WIN Appliances loE permitting the water
which 1t contains to 1ow into the trough
in any required volume, and in such a
way that it will exactly initiate the even
flow of a river The experimental trough
is filled to some depth with sand, and the
course of a river is laid out, angling
down the trough through the sand. 1t is
at first of even depth throughout, and
the banks are protected by small bags of
shot. Into this miniature river the water
is allowed to flow at a given speed. and
Prof Engels studies closely all those
places where the sandy bottom is washed
out. where it is filled in where the banks
have tendency to cave away and where
new banks are building up. AS the water
flows it naturally carries much sand en-
tirely out of the trough.
Prof. Engels uses sands of various col
Ors, which he used for showing exact po-
stion OF deposit of sand wash in his
rivers. red sand fed slowly into the
mouth" OF the river would show in bars
and banks half way down or more indi-
eating exactly where the river was, at
any given lime. adding land. little
later blue sand used in the same way
might show the formation of still other

FREDERICK THE GREAT.
Admitted to the Masons Before He
Assembled the Throne

(From the London Telesraph-)
The opening OF the new grand residence
of the National Lodge Of Prussian Free
Masons in Berlin on Sunday, at which
several distinguished Englishmen were
present. reminds me of fact not very
generally known. Frederick the Great
long before he assembled the throne was
admitted to the craft and subsequently
founded a lodge at the Castle of Rheims
berg, where during his youth he spent so
many happy days. His initiation took
place during the night of August 14-15,
1888. at Brunswick The step he took was
unknown TO his father The latter was
whose first lodge was only opened at Ham
burg eight months before the Prince Royal
became one of its members.
II was at the pleassaunce of 'Het Loo"
iE Gelderiapd. where Queen Wilhelmira
is to spend her approaching honeymoon,
that the idea first took possession Of Fred
ericks mind after having heard a very
outspoken speech by Count Schaumburg-
Lippe in favor OF the brotherhood. He
confided his intention to the Count. but
Frederick was travelling with his father,
whose itinerary had been mapped out be-
forehand and their road did not lie By
Hamburg the only city in which at that
period there was lodge Schaumburg-

city with the members Of the Hanseatic
City's Lodge. The next night was fixed
for the ceremony. which took place at The
hosiery Zum Schloss Salzdahlum. and up
TO the present day the anniversary is kept
by all the grand lodges Of Berlin
IL has often been asserted that as the
years went on Frederiek's relations with
the Free Masous became strained. Ii has
even been stated that Frederick when Pc
gent resigned his membership. persuaded
as he was supposed to be- that some Of
the military secrets of the comparatively
new kingdom had heen divulged to Aus
ria by a Free Mason. The tale has been
in various ways. There is
not Il particle OF truth In 1t. II had it's
foundation in a curious fact After the
oss OF the battle of KoIlin, letter In an
unknown handwriting reached the general
headquarters. 1t contained an offer of
assistance Of the Free Masons, and bore

but from what we saw from the deck. we
conclude that 1t must have been over two

Many OF the rivers of Germany have
been plotted with great accuracy, not only
as TO their shore lines but with regard TO
the contour of their channel beds. With
these maps and contours in hand. Prof
Engels is now engaged in laying out to
an exact scale various of TIN more i'm

actly every curve, builds in every crib

held in place with bags of shot. The
trouble has always been that engineers
said that a crib here or a breakwater
there would accomplish certain results,
but when the crib was built at large ex-

7 That the police, who in minute
would stop an ARRAY or prizs fight
can allow ARRAY and prize fighting
among twenty-three men, including
the umpire, without Intervention is
illogical, to say the least. The
game, as they call the pastime of
breaking each others necks, or ribs
or knee caps, is not football. We
understand sufficient English to
know that footbalr means game
played with the feet, and that game
is true, clean and healthy sport,
because that gams gives the man
chance to exercise his power in run
ming aud sprinting, while the kind
of game played yesterday causes
bodily inj uries and cripples men for

One interesting feature in yaster-
days game was the action Of the
umpire, Senator Carter. From be-
ginning to end he favored the Pu-
nahou team in the most glariDg
manner. He ruled Willie Vida o #
the field for rough playing, and a
few minutes later this umpire tried
far rougher playing by trying to
butt Cuuha in the stomach, goat
fashion, with hat, wig and speetacles
on. Vida was in the game, excited
and doing all he could for his team,
but he did not play mora roughly,
than some OF the Punshous did,
and towards whom no rebuke or
punishment was me,ed out. We
understand that when Vida, who
is known as a very modest
and bashful young man
was ruled off, soma historical facts
were mentioned. Rumor has it, that
Vida reminded Carter, of the fact
that the Senator had been ruled off

Mr.. Carter was terribly excited,
aud the cool.headed fnancier and
statesmen had given way to an en-
ragged man, who had no reason or
excuse to get mad. Fortunately

happened then. Carter made an

very much like Chllingworth's el-

met the chin Of the eloquent senator.
The only objects observable were Q
