BANK FAILS.
Institution in Kansas City, Involved
in Devlin Failure Forced
to Suspend.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 21-The City
national bank failed to open its doors
Thursday. The bank held paper of c. J.
Devlin, of Topeka, to the amount of up
wards of 100000, and the failure is the
direct result of the closing of the First
national bank of Topeka, of which Mr..
Devlin was the principal stakeholder.
Some time ago the comptroller of the
currency at Washington instructed the
officers of the City national bank to re-
pair its capital. This was done by bor-
rowing from local capitalist. Follow
ing the failure of the First national
bank at Topeka, the Kansas City cap
italist became insistent upon the repay
ment of his loan and this demand caused
the officers of the City national to decide
upon the closing of their institution. No
statement of assets and liabilities has
been made public. The majority of the
banks depositors are persons in medium
circumstances, two-thirds Of whom live
outside Kansas City. There was no ex-
element at the doors of the bank when
the closing notice was posted Thursday,
less than dozen depositors appearing
to withdraw their money.

DEPOT DESTROYED.
Union Passenger Station in Louisville

Louisville, KY, July 1S.-The Union
passenger station at Tenth and Broad
way, was destroyed by fire Monday
night, entailing loss of over $3.50, 900.
The amount of insurance is not known.
The fire was discovered about $50
o'clock on the top floor of the four story
stone structure, and although every
fire engine in the city except the reserves
was on the scene in half an hour, the
flames gained steadily and two hours
after the start the building was eaten
to shell, only the walls being left stand
ing. Fortunately the fire occurred at a
time when few trains were scheduled to
arrive or depart, and only small crowd
of passengers was in the building.
There was no panic and no casualties
ensued. Defective insulation on electric
wires is thought to have caused the
fire.

Some of the European monarchs
give very large tips whenever they
travel, and others, on the contrary, are
quite niggardly. Emperor Nicholas Of
Russia is the most liberal in this re-
spect. During his brief visit to France
three years ago he spent $4,000 on
tips to servants and almost as much
on presents to officials and others.
King Edward of England is not quite
so generous, but as he travels good
deal, both within his own realm and
abroad, he is obliged to lay aside each

The system of collecting fares in
the City of Mexico differs radically
from that employed in this country, as
a slip is handed by the conductor to
each passenger as fare receipt. This
receipt shows the date, amount of fare
and direction of trip, bears serial
number, and must be retained by the
passenger until the end Of his ride as
proof that he has, paid his fare. The
company has IL different rates of fare,
varying from cents to 80 cents Mex

1t is a curious fact that Mr.. Gully.
former speaker of the British house Of

There is a story of those three dis
