SCRAPS OF HISTORY.

The Roman characters were first
used in types in Rome in 1467.
The last sovereign to abdicate was
King Milan Of Servia. He relinQuished
the crown in 1889.
The last slaves under Englishspeak-
Ing people were United States negroes,
set free in 1865.
False teeth Of ivory, on plates Of the
same material. and held in place by
gold wires. were In use in the year
1000 B. c.
During the past three centuries more
than 200 different systems Of short
hand have been devised. Pitman's was
first published in 1870.
The drst standing army Of modern
times was established by Charles VII.
Of France in 1445. In England the
first standing army was organized in
1888.
The hrst attempt at stereotyping in
America was made in 1775 by Benja~
min Mecom. printer at Philadelphia.
Previous to this time the Dutch had
stereotyped prayer book in 1771. The
0rst printing press in America was es-
tablished in 1889 at Cambridge, Mass.
Earlier than any known paintings,
some tapestry discovered recently at
Deir-elBahari. near Thebes. Is among
the oldest specimens Of human art ex-
tant, with the exception Of the pre-
historic drawings on the bones Of ex-
tinct animals by the river drift men,
which, Of course, are incomparably
older. But these paintings represent
the period in which the art Of Egypt
was at It's zenith, the eighteenth
dynasty, and consequently date back
about $500 years.

fashion prevailed last season, and will
be still more popular this year. Pale
Pink. light blue. soft yellow browns
and tans and creams will all be worn
on the street, side by side, with sil.

written from st. Paul and received last
Saturday, started the investigation
which brought about tie suspension.
Another sensational feature OF the at

suing OF a warrant for his arrest on
charge of embezzlement A message
ordering his apprehension was sent to
every police station in the city.
News Spreads Rapidly.
The first public intimation that the
bank was in trouble was the posting OF
a notice at the beginning of banking
hours by Bank Examiner C. c. Jones,
stating that business had been sus-
pended for the purpose of making All
examination of the banks affairs and
that the institution Was in the hanas
of the state auditor. The news spread
-apidly throughout the entire north
west side of the city, where the bank
had been for years a popular deposi-
tory for funds saved by working peo-
pie. Soon a clamorous crowd gathered
before the doors and demanded admis-
sion
Police on Scene.
Anticipating trouble, score of pO-
lice was sent to the scene. The crowd
steadily increased. The people were
permitted to file past the doors bearing
the posted notice and compelled to
keep moving.
An examination OF the banks affairs
was begun quietly last Saturday, after
receipt of the letter from President
Stensland.
The shortage Is estimated to be
from $750,000 to $1,000,000. Disastrous

The remainder of the passengers
and the officers and crew-got away IN
the ships boats or were rescued by
boats from the shore Several fisher
men who made attempts at rescue
we're drowned.
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Palos in a pitiable condi-
ton, being without food or clothing.
The Sirio struck rocky reef.

soon after. stern first. Hormegas ISL
and lies about two and half miles to
the eastward of Cape Palos.
Captain Kills Himself.
Before ha committed suicide the cap
ain declared that the steamer had
GAS passengers on board, and that her
crew numbered 127 men. The Sirio
had $40 passengers when leaving
Genoa, but additional Spanish passen
gers were taken on board at BARGE

The disaster occurred at o'clock
Saturday afternoon. The steamer was
threading difficult passage through
the Hormegas group, where the Bajos

to navigation.
Awful Panic Ensues.
The vessel began to settle rapidly
Immediately she had struck and ter

the coast sought to render every as
sistance in their power and sent out
boats which brought many survivors
ashore. Most of the officers and crew
of the Sirio are among the saved.
The survivors have gone into camp
on the main square Of the town at
Cape Palos. Here narrowing scenes
are enacted as the stricken families
anxiously seek beloved members
among the rescued. A mother who
lost her three children went insane.
In Deplorable Condition.
The condition OF the survivors IL
most deplorable. They have lost every
thing and are without money, food or
clothing. The maritime authorities OF
Cartagena have dispatched tug to the
scene. carrying relief supplies. The
buildings Of circus and poorhouse
are being used as temporary quarters
for the survivors.
The latest reports from the cape say
that three boats have just brought IN
