society women. One day they appeared
quite naturally on the cheeks of Queen
Alexandra after she had returned from
a summer holiday. They Immediately
became fashionable and were cultivated
by artificial means among some OF the
best known beauties of the London sea
con. Like other fads, they have now
gone out of fashion, and those ladies
who are troubled with them by natural
agency, have been much exercised as to
the Eest and easiest method to get rid
Of them.
For some unexplained reason, the
brothers Phipps of Pitsburg have not Sc
cured this season the salmon fishing on
Lord Lovat's estate in Scotland which
they had rented for the last two or three
years. Hitherto they have paid much
higher price for the right than any other
would-be tenant could offer; yet the sec
retary of state for foreign affairs, Sir
Edward Grey, has somehow ousted them
this tine.

 Destruction of Libraries.
 One of the greatest and in measure irreparable losses resulting from the fire is the magnificent libraries Of san Francisco. Library after library burn ed until a total exceeding million volumes disappeared in the fire that swept over them
 No accurate estimate can be made of the monetary worth of the books de- stroyed, but 1t is believed that their market value was in exces of 33,000,O00.
 The public library was tho eighth largest Institution of its kind In the United States. Of all the big libraries of San Francisco. only one Is intact. The Bancroft Library, containing an im- nense collection of historical works, was stored at 26th and Valencia streets and is unchanged This collection was purchased some time ago by the Uni yersity of California and doubtless will be taken to Berkeley for the use of the students as soon as possible.

CONDITION OF THE BANKS.

 San Francisco, April 2S.--aiA Of san Francisco's forty-four banks, thirty two commercial and twelve savings. will be relocated within the area of the burned district Inspection has reveal ed the fact that the vaults in every in- stance remain intact, but with probably one or two exceptions the bank build ings were utterly destroyed.
 According to the statements filed by the banks with the bank commission January 1, last the value of the build ings aggregated s6,065,o32. Add to this total the valuation of premises occu- pied by the ten national banks, $927,- 295, and the aggregate is $6,s92,327. Two ...irds of this valuation represents the.land value of the banking sites and therefore, is not lost, so the net loss to the banks is about s2,33o.oo0, sum which in no way impairs their finan- cial standing.
 The money on hand in the thirty-two commercial banks at the time was $16,- 551,4 ,454, while the savings banks have coin in hand to the amount of $3,5oS,904. Add to this the $1o,o30,765 in specie in the vaults of the ten national banks and there Is an aggregate of $30,5T1,- OPS in coin immediately. available.
 @ The amount of money due the three classes of banks from other banks and bankers was s37,9s7,oso, of which, however, only $1s,000.0vv is due from outside banks and can be figured on. the balance being due from other San Francisco banks. This brings the to- tai money. within its reach up to more than $4s,000,000.
 In the line of convertible securities three banks held stocks and bonds val ued at $91 191 ,13o. One third of this total represents United States bonds. This one third S30 fl10 Af)fl hrin1s the grand total of money .wlcnin reach of San Francisco banks to $7s,o00.o0o, and it Is safe to say that sufficient addi- tionai securities are so readily con vertibls. that the total could be made $1o0,o0o,o00 in ten days time

 Naples. April 2S.-Oceans of mud brought from the mountainside by tor rentia1 rains Friday night are practi- cally submerging the vesuvius region.
 The situation can only be described as a black misery and fl 1t rains again soon 1t will be absolutely hopeless. The recent eruption of Mount vesuvius having closed the old water channels. torrent of rain Friday night had thousands of outlets In all directions and carrying black mud with ii, broke up bridges. weakened houses at the bases as the ashes had already done on the roofs. inundating streets. con- taminated drinking water and attack ed all the ingenuity of manhood erect ed for his own benefit.
 Among the people today was seen the calmness of despair There were no rawlings or terror but the despair which weakens the will and removes the desire to do anything.
 Wood huts are being erected rapidly at Ottajano for the homeless and the houses that were destroyed by the earthquake are being strengthened by an army of masons.
 All now depends on the weather which was tonight most promising. the sky having finally cleared.
 Amid all the upheavals Professors Matteuccf and Ferret remained In the observatory although Friday night an- other portion of the roof was torn away and 1t seemed as though the observa- tory would be enguIfed.
 Kind Edward and Queen Alexandra today made vain attempts to reach the observatory and then ottajano. but were finally obliged to 60 to Torre An nunsiata, from which place they re- turned here. Kind Edward sent a con tribution of s4.oeo to the Mayor of Ma ples for the assistance of the sufferers.

 First, the Swede, Melander; second. Mudin. Hungarian; third. Lemming, Swede.
 The jury's award in the diving con test proved a surprise. It was gener- ally believed that the Englishman, Smyrke. would take first prize, but he was placed seventeenth, the Germans, Walz and Hoffman, being given first and second places. respectively.
 The team swimming event aroused considerable excitement The Hunga- rian. Halmy. won the 1000 metre in 1C minutes 52 3-4 seconds, record time. siderable argument.
