The gold fields OF western Australia
embrace 100000 square miles OF des-
ert, covered with sparsely folIaged
eucalyptus trees, which draw from the
red sandy soil all moisture. leaving
no nourishment for grass or other
vegetation which might sustain animal
life OF type higher than grubs and
reptiles and the aborigines who live
upon them. Rain falls but once in two
years and then only In torrents, so
that the vast volume OF water, spread
ing over the thousands OF square miles
OF nat. absorbent desert. without catch
ments, disappears In a few days. In
consequence there Is not grazing
enough In the vast region TO sustain
a dozen sheep. Even the camel, which
eats the leaves 81 gum trees and null
Ba bushes gives up the struggle for ex-
istance in western Australia In despair.
In Coolgardie there are 10000 per-
sons who have assembled there from
the outside mining towns The men
are without resources and the women
are still worse on. None OF them
wishes TO return 10 their native places.
They remain in Coolgardie waiting for
the climax. Barmaids, the frail crea-
lures OF the gold camps, are the most
sorely distressed. During tho boom
there was great demand for their
services and they readily obtained en-
ployment at q weekly wage OF $40. Now
they offer their services for Size por
week and are refused employment.
Many Of them are eager TO work for
mere maintenance and are reluctantly
engaged by the hotel keeperh In
many instances these women have
taken up their abode with the Afghans,
Of whom there are 5000 In Coolgardle.
These Afghans apparently are less at
fileted by the distress than the white
men and seem 10 be able TO provide
for their meager wants 10 some way.
Every well-to-do Afghan, and many OF
them own great many camels, has
several white women in HIS establish
ment.

1t is stated that the closing Of the

S. Lamoreaux succeeded the lata

The new executive officers began al
once thorough investigation Of tbe
banks affairs and discovered indca.
tions of defalcation on the part az
Teller Fitcham. The investigation
was pursued until it was seen that
the defalcation had begun many
years ago and attained large figures,
Bank Examiners Graham and Van
Vranken were sent for and, on Mon.
day, began thorough examination.
At the close of banking hours thew
reported a shortage of 100000. The
directors then decided to close the
bank pending an investigation and
warrant for Fitcham's arrest was is.
sued. Fitcham was bonded to the
amount of $1,000. He has wife and
one daughter.
President Lamoreaux said that II
was not possible to determine the
amount of Fitcham's defalcation
without an inspection of the out
standing certificates of deposit and
depositors' pass books. The exami-
nation, he said, shows the teller
alone is responsible. Mr.. Lamoreaux
added that it is not thought possible
that any loss can come to depositors
or certificate holders, as the bank has
a surplus of 100000, which IT is
hoped will nearly or quite meet the
deficit and leave the banks capital Of
100000 unimpaired.
An examination of the bank by Ex-
aminer Van Vranlten last August 4
failed to disclose any irregularity in \
the accounts.
Examiner T.. J. Graham has been
appointed by the comptroller Of the
currency temporary receiver, pend

One of the most interesting features
Of the British capital, both from his
torical associations and as indicating
its throbbing life, is London bridge.
Its line of succession reaches back
rot less than nine centuries. At one
time it supported q chapel and rows
Of houses on both sides SO that it re-
sembIed a continuous street, and the
savage emotions Of earlier days often
found rent in afiixing to its gates
the heads of alleged traitors. To-
day II is probably, with the possible
exception Of the Brooklyn bridge, the
busiest bridge in the world.

Some newspapers speak of Mr..
Roosevelt as the twenty-ffth presi-
dent and Others as the twenty-sixth.
The confusion arises from counting
Grover Cleveland twice. He had two
different terms, but was not two
different men. If both of Clevelend's
terms are to be counted and he is to
be called the twenty-second and
twenty-fourth president, then other
double terms should be counted and
Washington would be the first and
second president and so on. Roosevelt
is, in fact. the twenty-ffth person
to fill the Office.

Thus far in the calendar year 1901
the United States has produced about
$s5,OoO,0OO of gold, large part of
which has gone to the mint. BY the
end of the year the total will be in
the neighborhood of $10O,000,0Oo. If
even only half Of this big amount
goes to the mint the drain of gold
expectation already under way can be
stood Easily. The secretary of the
treasury, having this domestic inflow
OF gold in mind. sees nothing in the
outflow to create any uneasiness. The
fact is the gold expectation is at
tracing very little attention.
