Albany, N. r.. Oct. Ex-Governor Hughes today received number of teIegrams suggesting that he proclaim a legal holiday during which the finan- claI situation might be relieved. The Governor acknowledged the receipt of all of these messages without indicat- ing his intentions. He would not dis cuss the question tonight, but there is a good reason to believe there is no immediate probability of his taking this step.

ALL EUROPEAN NEWSPAPERS
 DISCUSS NEW Y0RK'S PANIC
Situation Described as the Bursting ef
 the Amerisan Bubble.

London, Oct 25.--Ail the leadin& weekly newspapers today discuss the American financial situation and gen. orally take their customary attitude, that it is due to the unsoundness of commercial methods. The Statist says:
 ''The lesson of the crisis is not that American commercial honesty Is less than that of other countries, but that the opportunities for successful dis- honesty are more abundant and more tempting"
 The paper asserts also that 1t is the outcome of the fact that with few distinguished exceptions, tho more re- spectable classes do not participate in politics which now is the career for men of low character, for the most part, many of whom have failed in oth- CT careers"
 The Saturday Review describes the situation as the bursting of the Amer lean bubble. The Outlook, like The Statist, dwells on the situation from the political viewpoint declaring that America Is in radical mood with an appetite for confiscatory legislation" l"

R. l., Oct. 25.--Although temporary receiver was aappeinted for one trust company. while another company Is enforcing the rule requir- ing ninety days notice of withdrawal, and third withstocd heavy run, 1t was believed generally in Providence banking circles tonight, that the local crisis had been passed.
 The bank for which receiver was appointed was the Union Trust Con- pany. an institution with branches in Greenwich. This is the bank on which the run started yesterday.
 Cornelius S. Sweetland. vice-Presi- dent. was named as receiver. The New England Trust Company today put into operation the rule requiring all depositors to give ninety days Eo- tfee of withdrawals. Gen. Charles A Wilson, the bank's counsel. said that the company was in no condition to stand run, and that the rule had been invoked for the protection of de- positors.
 Much of the interest of the day cen tered about the Industrial Trust Com pany. operating nine branches in Rhode Island. At this bank a run was in progress throughout the day. Tell CTS paid all demands.

A FASHION FROM WAR.

How Flat Watches Took the Place
of the OId-time 'Turnips."
When the neat man takes unto him
self a watch as thin as parchment he
little thinks that that thin watch results
from army regulations, says the London
Standard.
Up TO the time Of the Allies taking
Paris the ordinary watch was convex in
shape and called from its outline a "tur-
nip" The officers Of the Russian and
other armies objected to this because its
bulbous form made the uniform OF a man
on parade look untidy. whether it wers
carried in the coat or the fob Here in
Paris, however, they found that the
watchmakers of the Palais Royal had
contrived a chronometer which got over
the difficulty.
Flat watches were the fashion in Paris.
The English when they appeared in the
streets Of the French capital marched In
not in gala dress such as the others wore.
but in the raiment which they had worn
on campaign. Great was the impression
which their habiliments created. But they
at once adopted the smart fat watch, and
brought IL back to England for our own
manufacturers to COPY

Some years later King Oscar, who is

Of the doctrines Of which the late Nine.
Blavatsl1y was one Of the most celebrated
exponents. Theosophy is a philosophy
rather than a religion. and among other
of its features is the doctrine Of relncar-

cultivation of the higher faculties latent
In human beings, and by which they are

powers IS the ability TO project ones as
