for John r. Walsh. millionaire banker,

'he did nothing but what nearly every
big banker in the country is doing at
all times. and he was picked out for a
mark because his rivals waned to get
the business he has controlled for
years"
They accuse those who they say in
spired his exposure and prosecution,
with having obtained as much of his
holdings as they could under an un-
derstanding that he would not be
prosecuted. The bank examiners knew
of his methods for three years before
the final action was taken. and that IL
would not have been taken but for the
concerted demands Of rival money
kings.
walsh was forced into liquidation
when at the height Of his power. BY
suddenly compelling him to reveal his
transactions. his financial enemies put
him in a position where the examiners
had no alternative but to close his
banks
II was disclosed. to-day that before
his enforced retirement Walsh was
required TO give other banks his coal
lands. stone quarries, stocks and bonds
and gas and electric Hight companies
until In time out OF fortune Of $50.-

holdings i'm Southern. Indiana. If the

Our Brothers Great Sorrow.

A bitter, heart-breaking sorrow has
come upon our good friend, Editor Jor-
dan, of the Punta Gorda Herald. After
many weeks of suffering, his beloved
wife has passed away, and the stricken
husband and mOtherless children are
left TO the pangs of a grief for which
there is no cure but time and faith.
Mr. Jordan is so universally esteemed
BY his brethren of the press for his
sterling qualities that they all give him
q very genuine and tender sympathy in
his sore bereavement and minRle their
tears with his in his unspeakable sOr-
row. The man who has no faith beyond
the things of sense and the narrow
boundaries Of his own short vision and
hating logic Is denied all hope and con-
Bolation when the tragedy Of death
comes into his family circle and with
ruthless grasp bears away into the
fathomless void the best beloved Of his
heart; but IL Is the perpetual strength
and ineffable glory Of religion that in
the supreme crisis of life when death
and the open grave come 10 strike down
our pride and hopes and overwhelm as
with despair; It's still, small Voice whis-
pers to the aching heart that all Is not
lost and the grave Is only the portal 10
the better, the real life OF which this is
but the germ In this beautiful faith,
never to DE quite uprooted from the
most hopeless human heart, and which
throws upon the heavy, starless night
Of death the thrilling tints Of q new
dawn, we trust that our friend In Punta
Qorda will find his refuge and his com
fort; and II will not fail him II he will
but open his soul to his tender minis
tratiofi. Live Oak Democrat.

A Busy Week Among Our Merchants.

With those persons who are accus-
toned TO look upon the summer months
as q period Of deadly stagnation IN
mercantile circles, this past week, ac-
cordinR TO information received from
two of our foremost dry goods stores,
must have caused reversal OF all pre-
conceived ideas.

They report steady rush at their

IMPROVED ANESTHETIC.

A discovery in anesthetics is that of Dr. Stephen Leduc, a Parisian physician, who destroys sensibility ali over the body by sending mild alternating current of electricity through the brain in the same gen. eral manner as in electrical execu- tions. In this ease the patient loses consciousness, but in every other re- spect important advantages result. There is no nausea. weakness or lan- guor, and no effect on the heart. The patient becomes conscious the instant the current is shut off, and with decidedly invigorated sensa- tiOn.

A BRIDES DILEMMA.

A humorous romance is reported from Natal, where a youthful Hin- du bride was recently called upon to choose between her husband and her jewels.
 The case came before the Durban police court in the first instance, where the brides parents, says the Natal Mercury, accused her hus- band of abducting her while under l3 years of age. The bride, how ever, claimed to be IS, and the mag istrate dismissed the case.
 Outside the court tug-of-war took place between the two parties for the possession of the bride, in the course of which it appeared that what her parents particularly y de- sired was not herself, but her jewell ry.. A sergeant of police then sat in judgment, and decided that the iewelry belonged to the parents, and the girl must choose between her husband and her bracelets.
 After some cogitation she chose, the husband, who promptly un- fastened the bangles from her arms and handed them to her parents.

ONE OF THE WORST HABITS
Persistent Borrower Always an Un.
 mitigated Nuisance.

It is the easiest thing in the world to get into the borrowing habit.
 First it is. newspaper, then a pattern. then a reef pc, then a book.
 And then some day a gown is borrowed to look at, then a little note goes asking that a pan be lent and then 1t becomes the easiest thing m the world to ask the loan of a hat, or an embroidered petticoat.
 Now when you began if anyone told you that you were a sponge you would have been most indignant. And yet that Is just what borrow CTS are.
 It would be almost as bad to .borrow your neighbors money and never return it as to keep up a con stant borrowing of your neighbor's belongings, getting out of them the wear that is not yours and the pleasure that by rights belongs to her.
 r What the mistress does the maid .does. In the kitchen they do not 7hcsitate to borrow a patent coffee pot, a pudding dish, flavor extract, some baking powder. sugar or oil. -Half the time the things are not freturned.
 The persistent borrower is more Nor less spoken of as d sponge. So : do not permit yourself to drift into very pernicious habit.
