to have the absolute power to put their
representatives on oath, but they do not

hopeful fact Is that earnest republicans
are beginning to appreciate and discuss
this paramount want. They know their

understanding among them as to ways and

A certain theatrical manager of
Chicago tells of an Irish policeman
in that city possessing Dogberry-like
traits.
On one occasion, at midnight, the.
custodian Of the law overhauled a
sleep walker who was promenading
a principle thoroughfare clad only in
his nightrobe. When the officer had
awakened the unfortunate man,
placed him under arrest and was
hustling him off to the station the
sleep walker exclaimed with indig-
nation:
Surely you are not going to lock
me up?"
"Surest thing you know!" airily
responded the huecoat.
"Why, man, I can't be held re-
sponsible for the predicament you
find me in! I'm a somnambulist!"
"Sure, it makes no difference what
church you belong to-" sharply re-
turned the officer, "ye can't parade
the streets of Chicago in your
nighty!"-Harper's Weekly.

CHARACTERISTIC VIEWS In VALPARAISO, CHILEAN
SEAPORT DEVASTATED BY EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE

valparaiso, capital Of the province
OF valparaiso, is the principal city on
tne South American west coast. 1t is
Chlles fortified seaport and has a
population of about one hundred and
fifty thousand, having grown from six
thousand in 1926. Il is one of the
most progressive cities of South
America.
: 1t is connected by rail with San
t1ago, the capital, siXty-eight miles
distant.
Paralleling the Chilean coast of
tWenty-three hundred miles is tho
same mountain chain which lies at
the back Of the State of California,
and through which the earth's tre-
mors ran which so completely trans
formed San Francisco.
There are two sections of Valpar-
also, one devoted to commercial ac-
tivity and the other to domestic life,
that part Of the city fronting the
water, on which immense ware
houses and spacious docks and quays
are built, having been in the early
days Of Valparaiso the centre of it's
thrift. AS Valparaiso began to grow
there was gradual movement lack
from the shore front, until to-day the
slopes leading to the heights are oc-
cupied by magnificent residences, the
homes Of the big merchants Of the
cir,, all built to endure, and forming
one Of the show sights of the Chilean
city.
:' OF course, the streets in the old
quarter are crooked and narrow, but
the enterprise which struck the city
three decades ago IS seen in the regu-
lar, wide and perfectly equipped thor
oughfares in the Almendral. In a
southern direction from the city run
the Nuevo Malecob and Gran Abe
nida, joining out in the country in
what is known as one Of the best
thoroughfares in the world.

The place contained thirty stoves

cused of violating the health ordl-
nances of the city.

and bring Chile two weeks nearer to
Europe 1t is expected that the line
will be opened toward the end OF
1908. Another railway is being
built from the Peruvian frontier to
the Straits of Magellan, with branch
lines to coast ports, mining districts
and agricultural centres.
Chile has been visited by severe
earthquakes about every sixty years.
In the last severe earthquake, in
1885, the Isle of Santa Maria was up
lifted in three different localities,
eight, nine and ten feet, but all this
land subsidized few weeks after
ward. At the same time two great
waves rolled over the town Of Talca-
huano.
Valparaiso's chief manufactures
are cotton goods, machinery and iron
goods. Much mineral water is bot
tied there, while the sugar ref1neries
and the brewing and distilling inter-
ests are large. From the city are ex-
ported nitrate, in which millions are
invested, grain, wool, leather, guano,
saltpetre and copper, although this
mineral has not been developed to its
fullest extent.
Valparaiso suffered a disastrous
earthquake in 1855, it was lombard
ed by the Spanish in 1856 and suf-
fered from a terrific tidal wave on
June 80, 1899, which wrecked the
railroad and did a great deal of dam
age in other directions.
Chile threw off the yoke Of Spain
in the early part Of the nineteenth
century. 1t consists of twenty-four
provinces and territories and con-
tains 290,S29 square miles.

NEW G. A. r. COMMANDER.
Encampment Elects r. B. Brown, Ed.
itor of GAINESVILLE Courier.

lCOr OF L&nCSE11lc COurlcF.
Minneapolis, Minn.-R. B. Brown,
of GAINESVILLE, Ohio. was elected Com
mander-in-Chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic at the annual en-
campment. Other officers chosen
were: Senior Vice-Commander, Will
lam H. Armstrong, Indianapolis; Jun-
ior Vice-Commander, E. B. Fenton,
Detroit; Chaplain in Chief, Arch
bishop John Ireland, st. Paul; Sur
geon-General, w. H. Jackson, Lin
coin, Neb.
The new Commander-in-Chief of
the Grand Army, R. B. Brown, was
born in 1845, and has always lived
in Ohio. He enlisted in the Fiji
teenth Ohio Infantry at the age of
sixteen years, and served in the
Fourteenth Army Corps in the Army
of the Cumberland until he was mus
tered out in 1864. He then re-en-
listed as veteran soldier, and served
as such until the end of the war. He
was a private throughout the three
years of his service and then be-
came non-commissioned officer.
Mr.. Brown is now editor of the
GAINESVILLE Courier.
The total membership Of the
Grand Army is declared in the report
of Adjutant-G cneral Tweedale to be
235,823, an increase of 1858 during
the last six months. The losses by
death for the year ended December
81, 1905, were 9205, or $50 per
cent. of the total membership. In
the preceding year the loss by death
reached exactly the same percentage.
The Commander-in-C Chief in his ad-
dress bitterly arraigned those who.
posing as the most eminent men Of
the nation" had proved false to their
trust in various ways, but declared
that among all such the name of no
Civil War veteran could be found.

CHELSEA, MASS, BANK SHUT
The First National Wrecked by
FaVors to Officers.
Big Loans to officers Caused Failure,
According to Report of Examiner
Ever to the Comptroller.

Washington, D. CT. P. Kane,
acting Comptroller of the Currency,
received advices by wire from Ma
tional Bank Examiner Ever at Bos-
ton that the First National Bank, of
Chelsea, Mass, had been closed by
action of the directors. Examiner
Ever las been appointed receiver.
The failure CT this bank is due to
large, excessive loans to officers and
directors of the bank.
Chelsea, Mass-The information
given by Bank Examiner Ever to the
Comptroller of the Currency at Wash
ington, in connection with the fail
ure of the First National Bank, of
Chelsea, was that the collapse was
due to excessive loans made to officers
and directors of the bank.
1t became known that the princi-
pal factor in the suspension of the
bank was large Indebtedness on the
part of it's president, Sylvester B.
Hinckley. This Indebtedness is un-
officially estimated at from 100000
to $500,000, but statements made by
directors of the bank indicate th:.t
President Hinckley has transferred
to the institution his equity in large
real estate holdings, which, it is ex-
pected, will provide for the payment
in full of all depositors.
President Hinckley is said to be
dangerously i'll at his home in New
ton. On Saturday last he was unable
to- place his signature to the papers
transferring his property to the bank,
and it was necessary for him to re-
sort to making his marx upon the
document. This proceeding was le-
galized by the witnessing signatures
of his wife and son. 1t is said that
Mr.. Hinckley has not been able to be
at the bank for four weeks.
Developments indicated that Mr..
Hinckley was involved in extensive
real estate transactions, from which
he expected to realize great profits.
The director most active in bring
ing affairs to crisis was Thomas
Martin, a former president Of the
bank, who. in all interview said that
recently he discovered evidence of
unbusinesslike methods, and started
an investigation. This disclosed the
fact that papers held by the bank
were not what Mr.. Martin considered
strictly commercial. He said that
the signatures in some cases needed
explaining"
Mr.. Martin also stated that suffi-
cient property had been transferred
by Mr.. Hinckley to the bank to in
sure the payment OF depositors in
