Accounting for Dawes's Haste.

w. G.. Nicholas. in New York Telegraph.
Friends OF the old management OF the
Seventh National Bank declare that the
controller of the currency acted with un-
necessary severity in closing the doors Of
the institution. or rather. in making the
conditions so hard that the bank could not
reasonably comply. They think that he
might have let the bank through by insist
ing on a scaling down Of the Marquand
loan, instead of its total extinguishment az
one time. II that had been done, they say
the bank could have weathered the storr1,
backed as il was by General Sam Thomas
and the millions OF Edwin Gould.
They find a motive for the controllers
severe and uncompromising attitude IN the
fact that he had a near relative Identified
with the Heaths and their friends in the
organization and lotation OF country gas
plants, and from that they jump 10 the
conclusion that Mr.. Dawes feared that he
might be compromised i'm some way by
failure TO force the bank TO act.
Controller Dawes has an ambition TO sue
coed Senator Mason, OF Illinois, in the
Senate OF the United States and ne cannot
afford TO be mixed up I'm the remotest de-
gree in a bank scandal. Hence the theory
that in his anxiety to stand exactly
straight he leaned backward the least little

without any using up of materials-it had
nothing TO do with combustion. and the
flame" of IL was perfectly cold. 1t was
certainly one of the most wonderful in
v%entions of the age. and not at all ex-
pensive. Mills made two of these lamps
and demonstrated their absolute success;
but an extraordinary thing happened be-
fore the invention was put at the disposal
of the public. On the night of May 20. 1889.
Mills's laboratory in Hampstead, England.
was broken into, both lamps broken 10
fragments, and all the papers describing the
invention, involving years of work, stolen.
There was not the smallest clew 10 the bur-
glars. Even the reason of Ii is not known
whether il was malice, jealousy or theft.
No use has been made of the stolen papers.
Mills, who depended on these papers, set
to work again; but two months later he fell
i'll of typhoid and died. and the world was
thus deprived of his secret.
Six years ago an Englishman named
Shawbridge announced that he had in
vented a new high explosive, to which he
gave the name of Experiments
with 'fulmite" proved hat in an ordinary
service rifle il could send a bullet six
miles, and II was shown that a projectile
fired by 'fulmite" possessed ten times the
penetrative force of one propelled by
"cordite.' 1t was a terribly destructive ex-
plosive, and one of the good things about
IL was that IL did not strain in any way
the gun in which ii was used. The British
government entered into negotiations with
Shawbridge for the purchase of his in
v~ention. but he was killed in an explosion
In his laboratory before the negotiations
were completed. The explosion wrecked
the entire house, and the fire which fol-
lowed destroyed whatever papers describing
the manner of making "fulmite" the in
ventor may have had.
1t was sheer vanity, or perhaps ''cussed-
ness" that kept Grant Finlay from giving
to the world the benefit Of his invention
for the total abolition of smoke. He evolved
a simple system by which. any fire or
light could be made to consume its own
carbon, and though he demonstrated the
usefulness Of the invention many times,
he obstinately refused to put il on the
market or TO sell the secret of il. His own
house, just outside Glasgow. was fitted
with his system. which did not cost him
$50 for the entire building, and no jot Of
smoke ever was emitted there. All his
fires consumed their own smoke, and he
was fond of showing the efficacy of his
invention to guests, but never would he ex-
plain the working of 1t. and he died two
years ago. carrying his secret with him
to the grave. A week before his death
he had all the "anti-smoke' apparatus
stripped from his house and destroyed.

SOME EXITING DONE.
Straits to Which the New York Sew
enth National Were Driven.

w. G. Nicholas, In New York Telegraph.
Necessity led to the invention of a new
fern of Exiting" TO enable the Seventh Ma
tional Bank to provide for clearing house
requirements one day not long before the
collapse. A few minutes before the close OF
business a representative of Marquand *
Co.. called at the bank and asked for $500
600. in addition 10 the already dangerous
credit extended by the bank.
Cant let you have it, said the acting
executive OF the bank.
but you must demanded the caller. Il
must have the money and L can't get ii
anywhere else"
The bank officer wavered. He knew from
the tone of the others voice that it was a
last call and that II the money or credit
were not forthcoming there would be
trouble the next day. Visions of maddened
crowds of depositors and creditors fitted
athwart his mental vision. He was aghast
at the prospect. a brief whispered CONVEX
cation followed, the essence of which was
that the bank would have to have every
cent IL could raise the day following 10
meet obligations, but on the second day IL
would again be In funds. The visitor sug-
gested a way whereby the bank could be
tided over and the firm too. The plan as
developed the succeeding day was ingenious
and novel. even 10 the veterans in the
schemes worked by desperate men TO keep
afioat from day 10 day.
The sum Of 100000. instead of the $500 900
asked for. was placed TO the credit of the
firm, so IL is said. and bright and early the
next morning three checks for 500. 900 each
were presented at the bank for certihcation.
With these checks exchange was bought
and turned back into the bank In cancella-
ton Of half the loan. The bills Of exchange
bought with the certified checks were
passed over to the clearing house i'm settle
ment OF the days debit balance. and the
checks used in the transaction went into
the next days business.
BY that time the bank had received a lot
of money on some of it's outstanding loans
and was in "A position TO pay all claims pre-
scented. The distressed firm was also pro-
vided with sufficient money 10 float through
n few days more OF hard luck. To be sure
the Indebtedness to the bank was swelled
$30O.OO by the operation. but what was the
difference II the house could get into a po-
sition TO settle the amount already due the
bank IL could take care OF the 500, 900 addi-
tional. If IL could not do so, why, both
bank and brokerage firm would go under
anyway. Given a few days grace eminent
hnanciers sometimes accomplish great
things. This was one OF the times when the
delay gained did no good. so far as can be
ascertained. Everybody suffered.
