WORLDS BIGGEST BANK.
VIII Result From a Combination OF
London Institutions.

In London 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 and Liverpool
District Banking company, limited.
The new combined London bank will
be the largest banking institution in
the world, and will overshadow even
the big government banks like. the
Bank of England and those of the
French, German and Russian nations.
The 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
the two largest of the types that ham
die this distinctive business.
Banking laws here and in England
are radically different. The privilege
of English banks to have branches is
denied to our national banks, and this
is a vital influence in bringing about
mammoth banks abroad, while it re-
stricts the similar growth of Amerf
can institutions. State banks in New
York and most of the other states
have this privilege, but the charters
of these are not so liberal and are
not regarded with the same favor as
those of national banks which also
have the valuable and profitable priv
ilege to issue notes and to receive
government deposits. Many of the
state banks have a number of branch
es, and trust com panies locally and
in other sections are developing on
the same lines. The largest number
of branches of any of our state banks
is very small as compared to those
maintained by the English banks. The
largest here has less than twenty
branches, while one of the banks in
the big London combination has nine
ty-five, and the other almost as MANY.

WOULD RENT OLD COURT HOUSE.
Topeka Post Wants Part of 1t for G..
A. r. Hall.

Topeka Post No. II of the G. A. r.
wishes to rent the second floor of the
old court house to be used as a post
hall.
The second floor is now rented to the
militia companies and brings in $240
a year rent and out of that comes jani-
tor service and the lighting bill and
the county gets mighty little. The Re-
publican Flambeau. club has occupied
quarters in the old court house for
three years without paying any rent.
If Topeka Post can get the second floor
on the same terms it will be a good in
Yestment for the post.

A Very Old Dinner.

An antiquary in the city of Brus-
sells named Goebel gave perhaps the
Oldest dinner which has ever been
eaten. a description was given by
one of the guests, Mr.. Amaziah
Dukes. lie says: "At that dinner /
ate apples that ripened more than
eighteen hundred years ago: bread
made from wheat grown before the
children of Israel passed through the
Red Sea, spread with butter which
was made when Elizabeth was Queen
of England: and | washed down the
repa>t with wine which was old when
Columbus was playing barefoot with
the boys in Genoa.
THE apples were from an earthen
jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii.
The wheat was taken from a cham.
ber in one of the Pyramids, the but
ter from a stone shelf in an old well
in Scotland, where for several eel
turtles IL had lain in an earthen crock
II icy water, and the wine was re
covered from an old vault in the city
of Corinth. There were six guests al
the table, and each had a mouthfu
of bread and teaspoonful of wine, but
was permitted help to himself boun
tifully to the butter, there being sew
eral pounds of it. The apple jar helC
about twothirds of a gallon. Ths
fruit was sweet and as finely favored
as if it had been picked but yester
day. New York Herald.
