 LITTLE ISLAND OF GUAM.
Almost the Smallest United States v Possession.

Almost the Smallest United States v Possession.
 Prior to the year 1898 the island of Guam was known to the world, when known at all, as but a speck upon the map of Oceanica. In the summer of that year it was projected into public view by a circumstance that would do credit to an act in a comic opera, and so familiar that but a brief reference will suffice to recall it. The Philip pines had fallen into our possession, and there still remained under the flag of Spain this small island-the south ernmost one of a chain of diminutive islands stretching away to the north some 45O miles. The cruiser Charles | ton, on her way to join Commodore | Dewey's fleet at Manila, entered the roadstead of Agana, the capital, and opened fire, whereupon the Spanish Governor put off to the ship in a small boat to acknowledge the courtesy of the call and to express his regard that | lack of powder prevented the return of the salute and thus Guam was add ed to the possessions of the United States Far away from the paths of ocean travel, and visited but few times year by some ocean tramp, the war | had not been heard of.
 One may voyage from Honolulu to Guam and sight neither steamer nor sail, and the around the world tourist may ask in vain for passage via Guam.
 
 ward bound United States transports stop there once month, leaving mail
 from the States and taking it for "the States" via Manila, for their return trip takes them far to the north. l . Guam, almost the smallest of the !possessions of the United States, lies lseven thousand miles southwest of San Francisco and but little north of the Equator, and is the most thickly populated of the Ladrone, or Mariana, group The islands were originally call- l ed the Ladrones because of the un- savory character of the inhabitants, who were wreckers and pirates, and made the island the rendezvous for the
 tough and criminal element of the South Seas and Philippines. Now the
 citizens are law-abiding, and prefer to
 be known to Marianas. These islands are of volcanic origin, and are surrounded by shores built up
 of coral. @
 Guam is about thirty miles long, and ivaries in width from three to nine
 miles, while a low range of mountains
 covered with verdure makes it's ele- vation about 1000 feet in the highest
 place. The land bordering these
 is fairly fertile and is farmed by the
 natives, who live in their villages and go out to the farm to do their work al- ways returning home for Sunday to attend religious services. The inter-
 for of the island is dense jungle not yet fully explored.
 | The flora and fruit are much the
 same as those of the Samoan and Ha-
 waiian islands; bananas; cocoanuts,
 breadfruit, plantain, oranges and lines are abundant. Of the cultivated crops one may see sugar, beans, rice, corn, tobacco and sweet potatoes 1 There are many animals mostly i'm ported from the Philippines-snall \ ponies, the caribou or water OK; cattle,

Frank g. Bigeow President Of the Ciys Oldest Financial
Institution Confesses That He Embezzled Fortune and

Speculation and ventures on the
equally uncertain sea of industrial ex-
pioitation have brought to ruin and
disgrace former president Of the
American Bankers Association, the
courted adviser of the Secretary Of the
Treasury Of the United States, the So
cial and business associate Of men
high in the political and financial cir
cies OF the nation, and man, in short,
whose name until now stood as a
synonym for ability, sagacity and pro-
bity in the banking world.
The city of Milwaukee is aghast at
the exposure. The people scarcely
can realize the truth of it, and it is
safe to say that financial America is
s.upeied, for the name of Frank G.

Nor said that large part of the
money embezzled by the banker went
to meet the losses entailed by his son.
The son has been known as high

was busy about some of his big win

climate enterprises in which the
banker had engaged have proved to be
too heavy loads for him to shoulder.
AS Mr.. Bigelow said himself, as he
walked from his home to be arraigned
tefore United States Court Commits
sloper Bloodgood:

thought things would come out all

That was all the defaulting banker

CRASH AFTER FORTY YEARS.

Bigelow Wipes Out In Few Months
the Success of Lifetime.
One of the curious questions on the
streets Of Milwaukee when the news
Of the crash became known was
What's the use of working hard
forty years and ending as Frank Bige-
low has ended?"
Bigelow entered the employ Of the
tank that now bears the name Of the
First National forty years age. as q
bank messenger. He was born in
Hartford, N. Y, in 1S47, and came to
Milwaukee with his parents in 1861,

physicians of the city in the early days
when Grand avenue was a coastins

directors think that it will not foot up
ever 100000 or $250,000. A singular
coincidence is that the difference be-
tween Bigelow's first statement of his
Shortage and what 1t was actually
found to be later Is about what his
personal assets turned over amount to.
