An interesting survival of the matri-
archaic has been discovered IL India as
result of study of the more impor-
tant tribes and castles ordered three
years ago by the government. The
Khasis numbering 1864, are com
pletely surrounded by a great popula-
tfon with widely different csutoms. Yet
they have preserved, it is said, ore of
the most perfect examples still surviv-
ing of the matriarchate. The mother
Is the head and only bond of union in
the family. In the most primitive part
of the community she is the ouly owner
of real property, and through her alone
Is inheritance transmitted The father
has no legal kinship with his children,
who belong to their mothers clan. On
marriage the man leaves his father and
mother and cleaves to his wife, as
seems to have been the custom when
the book of Genesis Was written, living
with her in his motner-in-law's house.
But sometimes he only visits her there.
The principal duties are feminine, and
woman is high priestess. The sun is
feminine and the moon masculine, and
feminine nouns predominant in the
language.

GOTHAM BANKER A SUICIDE.

pany, millionaire promoter, social lead
er, clubman and one of the best known
men in New York City, shot himself in
his mansion at 3Sth street and Park
avenue
It is largely to inability to endure the
blot upon his business reputation which
he feared would result from the suspen-
sion of the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany that Mr.. Barney's closest friends
attribute his act. He had been at the
head of the trust company for many
years and had seen it grow from COM
paratively obscure concern to one OF
the leading financial institutions of the
city, Then, almost without warning
came the crash. The resignation OF
Mr.. Barney as president of the Knick-
erbocker was accepted by the directors
and the next day the great trust com.
pany, with obligations to its depositors
amounting to nearly $70,000000, was
forced to suspend payment. In the rum
which lasted less than a day, the enor-
nous total OF $S,0O0,O00 was paid
across the counters.
Not since the murder of Stanford
White by Harry Thaw on the roof of
Madison Square Garden has there been
a greater sensation than that caused
by the self-destruction of Mr.. Barney
In business, social, club and hotel cir
cles the suicide was the one absorbing

makes the contention that a nation cannot

that, while the Christianity of Paul was
