WORLDS BIGGEST BANK,
Will Result From a Combination of
London Institutions.


In London a banking combination is
now in progress that will put the two
largest New York banks far in the
background. This is the combination
of the biggest Of the London banks and
the one that ranks thirteenth on the
list. or the Lloyds bank, limited. and
the Manchester n Liverpool District
Banking company, limited. The new
combined London bank will be the
largest banking institution In the
world, and will o~vershadow even the
big government banks, like the Bank Of
England and those of the French. Ger
mar and Russian nations.
Tho striking fact about that COM
bination is that it is a consolidation OF
the most important of city banks and
the largest country banks. In other
words, it is an alliance between the
two largest of the types thai handle
this distinctive business.
Banking laws here and in England
are radically different. The privilege OF
the English banks to have branches is
denied to u national banks. and this
is a vital influence in bringing about
mammoth banks abroad. while It re-
stricts the similar growth Of American
institutions. State banks in New York
and most Of h other state have this
privilege, but the charters of these are
not SO liberal and are not regarded with
lne same 1aVOr as thoSe OF national
banks, which also have the valuable
and profitable privilege to issue notes
and to receive government deposits.
Many of the state banks have q num-
Der Of branches. and trust companies
locally and in other sections are devel-
oping OH the same lines. The largest
number OF branches OF any Of our state
banks is very small as compared 20
those maintained by the English banks.
The largest here has less than twenty
branches, while n of the banks in the
big London combination has ninety
five, and the other almost as many.

New York Italians,

Brooklyn Eagle: We have a more
picturesque contingent in our Italians
than many of our citizens realize. They
are bright in their dress, and queer
though 1t seems, their combinations of
gorgeous tints in skirts, sashes and
kerchfefs as seldom painful to the eye,
their swarthy complexion seems TO
serve as a harmonizer and unifier in an
otherwise too brilliant color scheme.
And they have queer practices, too.
They celebrate the birthdays Of their
saints with a splendor and enthusiasm
such as we never dream of exhibiting.
in our commemorative exercises, even
when a Lincoln, a Washington or a
jefferson is the subject. On a saints
days and nights the streets in the
Italian quarters are arched with lights
and aglow with red, green and silver
fires. thousands of dollars worth of
rockets n bombs are shot into the
sky, gaudily decorated affairs are erect
ed on the walks, bands discourse music
and the whole poulation of the street
turns out to walk up and down, listen,
chatter, admire and make love-.
We have other elements Of pictur-
e~squeness among the Chinese, who
make an Increasingly large percentage
OF y aliens, but they keep more
rigidly to themselves, and in all matters
concerning their religion are quiet, not
to say secretive. The Italians have
never learned to believe that there Is
anything In faith that is Inconsistent
with publicity. They take their religion
as matter Of course, and exhibit the
tokens Of it in the same simple. un-
affected way az we show patriotism
when we blow up the town on the
Fourth of July. Our neighbors ought
to be encouraged to contfue their ma
tional customs. for they impart life.
variety and dramatic interest to our
sober towns; but for their own sakes
they ought not to carry SO many knives
and pistols.

SIMPLE AND USEFUL ANTlDorE.
For carbolie Acid Poisoning Found in
Turpentine.

Iurpentine.
London News: A remarkable discovery
has apparently been made by a Dublin
vctinary surgeon named Allen, respecting
an antidote for carbolic acid poisoning.
Some time ago his attention was drawn
to two horses which We're evidently suffer
Ing from poisoning. On examining one he
noticed that the mucous surface of the
mouth was hlanched and that the animal
was staggering. There was a general
twitching of the muscles, the eyes We're
staring, and the animal was rapidly as
Stunning a comatose condition. Mr.. Allen
asked for some OIL, linseed for preference,
If not, any kind of oil nat was handy.
Some was brought. and about two wine
slassfuls administered to one of the ami
mails, the effect being, to quote the words
of Mr.. Allen. miraculous. For the first
time he then noticed that the oil which
had been given to the horse was the ordi-
nary turpentine of commerce. So salts
fed was he with the result that he gave
the second horse a dose, although at that
time the animal was unconscious. In
about ten minutes it recovered, and both
horses We're at work the next day as II
nothing had happened.
Not long after this, by a peculiar coinci-
dence, Mr.. Allen was asked TO look at Il
blacksmith, who, after drinking d glass of
stout, had become very i'll. In the forge
the vetinary found the smith in a condi-
'''-'A
acid pervading the premises. Ultimately
he discovered that the man had drunk out
of the wrong vessel. and imbibed a solu-
ton of the acid instead of the stout. a
doctor was at once sent for, but. in the
meantime, Mr.. Allen administered a dose
of turpentlne that happened to be on the
premises, and the man not only quickly
recovered, but resumed his work within
an hour.
Turpentine as an antidote in similar
cases had been previously unknown. and
a representative of the Daily News recent
ly sought out an expert with u View Of
getting a medical opinion upon IA matter
of so much Importance. The symptoms
in the case you mention" he said, ARE
distinctly those of carbolic acid poisoning,
and so successful does the treatment APP
pear to have been that further expert
ments in the same direction are we'll
worth trying. If subsequent experiment
confirms the oil of turpentine treatment.
then on every packet or bottle containing
carbolic acid should lie printed this simple
antilOte."

'Toombs mounted the box and an
