The Broken.lienrtsd Hen.

The Philadelphia Record tells a
story Of a hen with one leg which
was in the habit Of following its
mistress, a kind hearted Irish wo-
man, wherever she went. The Irish
woman died the other day, and the
faithful fowl hoped on one leg
alongside the funeral procession for
two miles to the Baptist church,
and dropped dead on the church
steps. Some said it had died Of a
broken heart, others thought that
the great exertion Of hopping so far
on one leg and the small amount Of
food it had eaten caused the exhaus-
ton. At any rate, kindly hands
buried it just outside the church
fence, BY the roadside.

was ten years ago one Of the fore
most figures in French politics. Gle

he was as conspicuous as any char

CONDITION. Of THE
NATIONAL BANKS
Great Increase in Resources and
Individual Deposits.
NAY BREAK THE RECORD
STATEMENT SOON TO BE ISSUED
FROM TREASURER'S OFFICE.

New York, March ga special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The controller of the currency will soon
publish a complete statement of reports
from all the national banks in the
United States. AS this statement is
made in answer to the first call for
1901, the results are being awaited with
much interest. The time between Dec.
10 and Feb. s. the date of the call, Is
said in Industrial circles to be the dull
season. But figures already obtained
from abstracts reflect surprisingly
large gains as compared with the pre-
vious statement, which was a record
breaker
The aggregate resources of the $50
banks in New York state, as shown by
the controllers account are sos, 1885,
which is S226. 961 less than the amount
tally greater than the figures of the
first statement in 1900, which did not
reach the $500. 600 600 mark.
The new statement shows the amount
of individual deposits OF the Empire
state national banks, which is cohSlo-
cred the bankers barometer, to be
$123, 955,77 a gain of 1854, 4S6. The re
ports of the forty-four national banks
in New York City indicate that their
total resources and individual deposits
are $1.255, S47, S77 and 1858, 150,651 re
spectively, which exceed the preceding
official figures by the enormous sum Of
S4S4, 267 1877 and $50, 649, l23, respectively
The total resources of the national
banks in the state of New York are
shown to be s.. SOC. 63S, S55, while the in
dividual deposits amount to $7O2. 7O5.-
004 1t is estimated that with the saw
ingS bank resources and individual de-
positS combined with those of the ma
tionaI banks, the total bank assets
in the entire state would be approx
