SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE /. 1907.
Case Of Suicide.

There is every resson to believe that
the charred body found in the furnace OF
the Ryan Seap Works, Cincinnati, early
yesterday morning was that OF suicide.
Ed. Wilson, engineer at the Fair View
Street Railway, about q half hours walk
from the soap works, reported 10 the Po-
lice that shortly after 4 O'Clock yester-
day morning a stranger had come into
his engineering room, opened furnace
door and looked inside. On being spoken
to, the stranger pointed overhead, then
into the furnace, then went away talk
ing In sumo tongue unknown to Wilson.
Wilson noticed the peculiar coat worn
BY the man, and his description Tailed
exactly with that of the cost foand al
the soap works furnace door. Wilson
later saw the coat and apparent! idsn-
tilted it as the one worn by bis strange
visitor.
Chief Of Detectives Ralph @. Craw-
ford SAYS: ''The case is clearly suicide.
The man would have thrown himself
la the furnace of the Fair View incline,
but the door was too small. The fur
mace door at the sosp works was plenty
large enough for this purpose. he was
g tramp and a foreigner. | sm told
some foreigners believe death by crema-
ton insures heaven for the cremated. q"

OLDEST BANK IN THE WORLD.
One at NIneveh eeems to Hs Entitled
 to the Distinction.

There was c kind of public record office attached to the palace and tenn pie at Nineveh. in which 1t was cus-l tomary to deposit important legal and other documents. such as contracts and agreements for the purchase and sale of property. marriage settlements. wills. etc. Among these there were discovered official statements as to the history and transactions of the eminent banking house of Egidu at Nineyeh. Assyrian chronology proves that these refer to date about 2,s00 years before the Christian era, when Abraham dwelt at UT of the Chaidees, as is stated in Genesis. We may, therefore. claim for this firm the repu- tation of being the oldest bank in the world, at least. of which we have any record. or are likely to- have. The accounts are very voluminous, and cover the transactions of i've genera tions of the house from father to son. The firm grew rapidly in importance during this period. during which they attained great wealth; for they had succeeded in securing from the king the appointment of collectors of taxes, a position which in the east always leads to fortune. They afterwards framed the revenue for several of the Assyrian provinces. with very great gain to the firm.
