FIRST ALL
NIGHT BANK
Does a Big Business and Takes in
100000 In Six Hours.
New York World.)


The first Might and Day Bank" IN
the world opened its doors for bust
ness at s o'clock last night, and from
that time on until midnight officials
and clerks were kept busy. Within
five minutes so accounts had been
opened, representing deposits Of about
100000. When the clock in the ro-
tunda marked midnight the deposits
had run up to 100000. At that hour
the bank, keeping open house, had re-
ceived 5000 visitors.
The largest single deposit of the
first nights business was $4,000, and
the smallest 800. There were a
a large number of deposits that ran
as high as $4,000, but 1t was
remarked at midnight that In
nearly every case the large deposits
were in the form of checks. One wo-
man proved an exception to this rule,
for after hunting for about ten min
utes in the ample folds of wide
spreading skirt she found capacious
pocket from which she pulled roll
of ten one-thousand-dollar bills.
1--WE carried this around with me
long enough" she said to the clerk
at the window. I'm afraid l might
lose it."
The Night and Day Bank originated
in the minds of Oakleigh Thorne, who
is its first President. He is President
also of the Trust Company of America.
G. NJ Wynkoop, Vice President and
executive officer of the new bank, was
one of the leading spirits in the or
ganization, which was effected in Jan
uary, 1905. At that time the stock
was all subscribed for at $500 share.
1t is quoted now at double that
amount.
The home of this novel institution
is at Forty-fourth street and Fifth ave-
nue.. 1t is a twelve-story building,
which was erected by the men inter-
ested in the bank at a cost Of $4,000
900.

LAND OF CATAS-
TROPHIES,
London Times Cautions English Cap
ital Against the United States.
(Washfnpton Post \

washington Post.)
In commenting upon the fact thai
British fire insurance companies will
be Obliged to pay about $35, 1000, 900 fol-
San Francisco losses, the London
Times makes this cautious observa
| ton:
"There is, however, one moral, and
! it is not a new one. 1t is that only
really strong companies with abun-
dant resources have a right to go
to America for business. Only those
companies which can withstand ire
mendous shocks can live and make
money in that land of catastrophes. "
Is America a land of catastro-
phes"? The people have always
seemed to regard it as the most de-
lightful and favored land under the
sun. They have shuddered to read
about the wild typhoons that sweep
towns out of existence in the Eastern
tropics or sink great ships. They
have heard of the mighty floods in
Chinese rivers that carry death to
thousands. Only recently an earth
quake shook Formosa and reports
said many hundreds persisted. We
suvius, not content with the burial of
two cities In ancient times, has just
caused a thrill of terror to spread ov-
er Southern Italy. Alpine avalanches
are too common to attract notice. On
ly little while ago some 1900 men
were buried alive in a French mine.
London itself was the scene of q
Ore that has become traditional In
vastneas. The worst plague perhaps
that ever Frustrated a modern city.
killed tens Of thousands OF people IN
that same capital. Lisbon's earth
quake and tidal wave and Mount
Pelee's entombment of a city are other
world catastrophes.
Perhaps every people imagine that
II dwells in greatest safety and Is
freest from IRE, food, wind. earth
quake and pestilence. The human
mind is 30 happily constituted that It
pleasures longer and with
keener vividness than 1t remembers
pain. One generation forgets the woes
IF the former, and 1t contents itself
with the blessings at hand.
Troubles, and big ones, have come
% the United States, but a glance at
is history should convince any one
hat this is not really land of catas-
rophes." 1t has probably had no
more than its share of the unforeseen
ind unpreventable calamities that oc-
befall mankind. Moreover,
he outpouring of $16,0O0,6OO of gifts
or San Francisco in a week from the
,eople of this country says one thing
most eloquently: If great wounds
ONE to this land of catastrophes,"
Iowhere else on earth is there so
much generosity ready to heal them.

WONDERFUL FEAT
OF Pawnee indian, Who Swallowed
Deer's Head and AntIers.
Omaha world-Herald.)

(Omaha World-Herald.)
T. H Tibles, Vice Presidential can
didate on the Populist ticket In 1904
has spent years and years ON the
frontier and among the Indians, and
he can also tell some good stories
about Indian magic. Here Is one of
them:
"Once, during the border days, ]
round myself camped near a village of
Pawnees. The Pawnees paid our
camp a formal visit, and to amuse
them, one Of our party, who was quite
prestidigtious, did some simple
tricks with cards, etc. The Indians
smiled and invited US over to their
village next day, where they said they
would show us some Indian tricks.
I'VE went. The day was fine and
sunny and about noon we were in
vited out on the open prairie to see
the trick. AS far as we could see
there were no preparations whatever.
We stood in big circle outlined by
the chief.
Finally a tall Indian walked out
into the center of the ring and
harangued the crowd for a few min
utes. Then another Indian came over
to me and asked if wanted to exam
Inc deer's head, freshly killed, which
ne had brought. l looked it over care
fully. 1t was all right. 1 was then
told to take the head into the ring to
the magician.
That Indian didn't have stitch of
clothing on, but on the ground lying
near was a red blanket l picked I'D
the blanket and examined it. 1t, like
the deer head, was all right And I
took a good look at that Indian, too.
Il then paced out to the edge of the
circle, keeping my eyes on the Indian
and the deer head.
This head was an ordinary sized
one, and had two big antlers on it.
And that Indian picked up that head. |
stuck one end of an antler in his
mouth. and right before us all grad
ually swallowed it. 1t took him five
minutes TO get 1t down, but 1t grad. |
ually went down his throat, or some |
where else. But, remember, he was
entirely naked and there was no place |
to hide It.
After finishing the head the Indian
turned around and bowed to the four
points Of the compass. And then. sud.
denly, there stood another Indian be-
side him. Where that second Indian
came from none OF rs could tell. He
certainly did not walk across the Omen
,ircle.
The second Indian reached down.

md cast It over the: hrst Indian. The
blanket gradually sunk to the ground

It. There was nothing under It. The
irst Indian had disappeared, and In Il
lis place stood the second Indian, who +
vas not at all like the first one.
Nov. all that took place right out
IN the open prairie, and in the center

myself examined the deer's head, had

The modern Indian has, to a great Z
egree, lost the power to do these ,
eats Of magic which the old-time {
indian was versed in, and the best {
hey can do is a few slight-of-hand c
ricks that can be done by almost any b
erson. y

DELAWARE COLLEGE BULLETIN

The last number of the Delaware Col

list of graduates since the reorganization
OF the College in 1871. The committed

been the most active member, has reached
all but three of the graduates during
these thirty-three years. Hence. in thit
publication. one finds the degree or de
grees, occupation. and address Of practi.
cally every alumnus for over quarter Of
q century.
Aside from its intrinsic worth as ref
.erence book, the bulletin is Of great in
terest in showing the extremely satisfac-
tory progress Of the College. In 1888
there we're but two graduates. One OF
them has since died, leaving T. Bayard
Heisel, Esquire. of WILMINGTON, the sole
surviving member. The next four classes
show q small increase. In 1903, there
were thirteen graduates and from then
till 1900 the number each year was about
uniform. In 1901, the record shows a
decided advance, The classes Of the last
FIVE years have been quite large, 1905
reading with an enrolment Of twenty
five. A comparison Of the classes Of 1896
and 1896 with those of 1905 and 1906
bears witness to the swing Of the pendu-
lnm in regard TO the occupations of the
graduates. III 1895, seven men received
