MANY BANKS CAUGHT
BY BOSTON FAILURE

Boston, May 26-Seventy-one banks
and trust companies, most of them in
Massachusetts. but several located in
various parts of the country. are among
the creditors Of the banking firm of Bar
1rett, Cummings & Co. of this city. which
fled voluntary petition in bankruptcy
in. the United States district court with
liabilities placed at $I.7I4348. The as
sets are stated to be uncertain. The
creditors have been given to understand
they will not exceed 100000 If, indeed,
they prove to be of any value whatso-
ever. The bankruptcy petition is the
heaviest ever filed in this district.
Attorney J. T. Auebach, counsel for
the bankrupt firm, said that the cause of
the failure was the building and financ-
ing the Concord & Boston Street Rail
way Co., the Middleboro, Warehan &
Brzzard's Bay Street Railway Co.. the
Lowell & Salem Street railway and the
Bristol County Railway Co. These
roads were in thinly settled districts and
were unable to make suitable connec-
tions with roads running to Boston. The
four companies were placed in the hands
of receivers and their notes became val
ueleSs.

abstainer, the finest vintage wines are

The recent visit of the Shah of Persia
to England recalls former call of his
upon Queen Victoria, when London
was startled at the Oriental methods
employed by this picturesque Eastern
potentate. Thousands of dollars worth
of damage was done in the famous
Buckingham Palace by the nochalant
orders of the Shah. The sheep which
provided his mutton were brought into
the palace rooms, which had been
placed at his royal disposal, and
slaughtered upon the magnificent and
costly rugs and other such extravagant
practices were the order of the day
While the meat which the Shah eats is
always supposed to be slaughtered be-
fore his eyes, it was believed at the time
that these performances were simply
the carrying out of an Eastern regal
fancy, to show Western barbarians
what the Orient was accustomed to.

very little to do. They live at home,
and when the Queen is in London they

lowed to the letter. With salary of

THE SAYING OF OREGON.
HOW DIR. WHITMAN BRAVED
BLLZZARDS AND DEATH.
Determined to Save Country From
British Daniel Webster Opposed
to Retaining Territory.

A bloody trophy in possession of the
government at Washington is an In
dian hatchet. The tomahawk reeks
with red and horid association. 1t is
the weapon with which DR.. Marcus
Whitman, the Indian missionary and
his wife were slain in 1S47 and with
which the first blow of the tearsome
Whitman massacre was begun-an en-
ormous crime which nearly obliterated
the white American settlers in the Ore
gon country, sent a thrill of horror
and Indignation throughout the Amer
lean republic and saved to the Amer
lean people the great northwest coun-
try out of which Oregon, Washington
and other states were created. It is
one of the very cruel chapters in his
tory-a chapter embracing eight years
of war between settlers and savages
the result of which was that the Hud-
sons Bay Company and the British
crown were compelled to relinguish
their claim to the territory. Another
result was the virtual annihilation of
the Cayuse tribe of Indians. So much
tragic history centers about this rusty
hatchet that it is one of the rarest rel
les of the government. A government
official familiar with the period says
"The Whitman massacre was the re-
suit of the Vaccinations of England

The World Moves Quickly.

How the thought of the world passes
from one thing to another, and then
forgets. Attention for months was
centered upon Port Arthur, and then
it was transferred to the movements
of the naval fleets, the meeting of
which was so disastrous to Russian
hopes. 1t will be remembered that
when Rojestvensky entered the China
Sea he wired to the Gear: ''If 1 am
victorious 1 shall inform you. If 1 am
vanquished, Togo will inform you"
To the public Port Arthur is no more
than one of the countless red
splotches that disfigure history, and
the naval battle of all history is
already relegated to dry discussions as
to what branch of service was most
disastrous to ship and lives.
