Eagle Tries to Steal Girl.

Long Prairie, Minn.-While school
children were on their way home after
school the other day huge eagle
swooped down and seized the five-year-
old daughter of 10y Reamer and at
tempted to carry her away. The bird
fastened its talons to the child's Shout
der and her skirt, and lifted her several
feet from the ground, when her fran
tic appeals for help were answered by
several boys, who went to her assist
ance. They grasped her clothing, and
their combined weight was more than
the eagle could lift. It released the
girl and sailed away. When young
Blair seized the girl the bird struck
him on the head with its wing, knock
ing him to the ground. The boys and
girls had been watching the eagle sail
ing to and fro about so feet above the
ground, when suddenly just as he was
directly above them he closed his
wings and dropped to the ground The
children attempted to flee, but>as soon
as they saw the bird seize their school
mate. the boys turned back to rescue her.

1t, not always successfully. When Tam
many and republican legislators passed
in Albany last winter an immensely val
liable bill for the gas trust, Tammany
men freely bought gas stock in the mar
ket on the tip" that both the mayor and
the governor would sign the bill. The
mayor did; the governor did not, and
some of the stock gamblers got their
fingers pinched.
This year the republicans followed I'M
their advantage by mercilessly exposing
through an investigation the stock
watering sins Of the trust and the fact
that most of the franchises under which
it works have expired AS the trusts
capital is about six times the value of
its works, and as the stock has to be
"supported' at about 200. that is rather
disquieting. But there is considerable
republican element that favors the gas
people. 1t may be put roughly that the
Plat republicans side with the Tam
many democrats in favor of the gas
trust, which is making so per cent, a
year profit upon the actual investment
and soaking" customers in the famil-
lar fashion. The Odell republicans op-
pose the trust, Gov. Higgins acting
with them. Their plan was to pass bill
reducing the price of gas to Is cents and
name state gas commission, like the
excellent one in Massachusetts. The
trustees first line of defense is the leg
islature; the second is the lobby; the
third is the courts, where they can tie
up matters for some years by litigation.
The magnitude of the problem may be
imagined from the fact that the market
valuation of the gas securities is great
er than the entire public debt of the
city.
In many other respects |ammany Just
now occupies rather favorable polit-
ical position. Its mayor is personally
clean. able and popular. But the gas
trust is an Oldham of-the-sea UPON its
shoulders.

"rhe First Day and Might State Bank
of New York.
The bank will stand at the southeast
corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth
street. A rather notable neighborhood
it is to one who knows the local geog-
raphy. Across the avenue to the west
is Sherry's fashionable restaurant.
Across the street, north, is Delmon-
icos ditto. Diagonally across is new
hotel. A little farther up is the st.
Regis. Just east of Delmonico's is Can
fields gaming house of fame, now
closed. Opposite sherry's are the New
York Yacht club and half dozen other
famous clubs. Forty fourth is the most
notable of all the cross streets.
But what does it need of an all-night
bank? Curiously, the need is mainly
one of legitimate business. A man
whose check is not good next morning
can hardly get into the gambling games
thereabouts, either in the "hells'' or in
the private parlors" OF some of the
hotels. But vast amount of money is
taken after three o'clock in the hotels,
theaters and restaurants within two
minutes walk of the corner; and it will
be convenience to he able to put that
money in the bank at once. Small
tradesmen, also, will make use of it..
