A great many trees are famed in
history. from something which happen
ed hear them or with which they were
concerned.
In 1850 a tree was blown down which
will long be remembered in United
States history. 1t was the Charter
Oak. Here, in 1887, Captain James
Wadsworth put the Connecticut char
ter to keep it from Governor Address,
who had been sent from England to
return the charter to that country and
put the people under stricter rule.
Another important tree was the one
under which Penn made a treaty with
the Indians. 1t was called the Treaty
Elm. 1t was blown down in 1910, and
a monument has been erected in its
place. Before it's destruction it was
SO valued by the people that while the
British controlled Philadelphia their
commander would not allow 1t to be
cut down for firewood.
In July, 1875, the Washington Elm
was made famous. Washington be-
came commander in chief Of the Amer
lean army and assumed command un-
der that tree,

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dread disease that science a
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that Is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the

ias d, faultcd bank funds to the ex-
f,nt Of $500 900. The capital of the
hank is 81 100000 and a surplus Of
81 200 900. Bigelow signed over prop
crty amounting to $500, 900, making a
ret dcfalcation of $1,200,000. Aside
nom the surplus which will meet the
defalcation, the sum OF s1,635, 900 has
been subscribed by the directors to
mcc. anv Ien;anGs which may be made
on the bank.
The aggregate wealth Of tie bank
arnrOximates over S20,000,000. The
Comptroller Of Currency has been ask
ed TO make Immediate examination OF
the bank.
BIgciow admitted that that amount
had been lost in speculation and he
had falsificd the books TO cover up the
GefalCdtion. Henry G. Coll, assisi ant
cashier of the bank has been removed,
charged with having teen a party to
tho Justification Of figures in the
banks books.
In making his statement to the di
IcrtOrs of the bank, Mr.. Bigelow said
he had become involved in speculation
In Wall street several months ago. He
had also been persistent bull in the
wheat market and recent losses in
grain had been adde:i to heavy losses
in Wall street From manipulation of
the banks funds. he had extended
the defalcatiOEs until his shortage had
passed the million dollar mark. He saw
no possibility of returning the money,
and therefore confessed his action.
Funds were at once provided by the
directors of the bank to protect de-
positors against loss, to save the bank
from a stampede. More than a mil
lion dollars was guaranteed to the bank
by various stockholders, and no serious
run was made on the bank 1t is not
thought that any complications with
creditors of the bank will follow.
The manipulation of accounts has
been going on for months. according tC
the statement of one Of the directors,
but so Cleverly was the work done
that neither the directors nor the ma
tiOnal bank examiners discovered
that anything was wrong with The
funds Of the bank. The first lntima
ton that there were irregularities
came to Charles F. Pfister director
when an emDlOye of the bank gave
Mr.. Pfister information sufficient to
start an investigation. Then followed
a meeting of the directors and con-
feSSiOn.

IL Die In Convent Fire.

Montreal, Special.-The little village
Of st. Genevieve is in mourning over
the loss of IA lives in a fire, which
destroyed the convent of st. Anne
there early today. One nun, nine call
dren, ranging in age from 10 to IS
years, and four old women perished
in the flames. Two nuns were SO Sc
verely burned that it is feared that
they will die. In their grief over the
catastrophe, the villagers find some
comfort in relating the heroism dis
played by Sister Marie Adjuteur, who
gave up her life, and Sisters Marie
Therese and Marie Robertine, who
were perhaps fatally burned in their
effort to save the lives of the children
and helpless old women in their
charge.
