He leaped to the floor and plunged

Baths Limited.

Owners Of country houses no
longer hesitate to ask the cooperation
of their guests when it seems neces-

ace on the Hudson river, which en-
tertains many visitors in the course
Of a year. says the Sun, there hangs
this sign:
Guests are kindly requested not
to draw more than three inches Of

Since the host of a famous house

his neighbors have become equally
frank in requesting their visitors to
help them out.

Destructive Yellow River.

Thousands of men work all their
lives at securing the banks Of the
great Yellow river in China. Yet
every now and then the tide sweeps
away all opposition and the loss in
human life is greater than any war
ever caused. Nineteen years ago the
river burst Its bonds. Day after day
the torrent flowed, 20 miles to the
hour, 80 miles wide and ten feet deep.
The food has been described as that
of five Danubes pouring from a height
for two months on end. For 1000
years the Chinese have been embanl-
ing this river.

choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
%portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the

Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the

CLIFF HOUSE CONE
Ramous Hotel at Golden Gate Spar
ed by Earthquake, De-
strOysd by Fire.
RESTED ON HIGH ROCKS
Was Undergoing Elaborate AItera.
tions and Would Soon Have
Opened AZ One Of Finest
Restaurants In World.

San Francisco, Sept 9.-The fam
GUS Cliff house was totally destroyed
by fire Saturday evening. The big
resort, resting on the high rocks al
most at the entrance Of the Golden
late, had been closed for some time,
undergoing elaborate alterations, and
was to have been reopened October
1 under q new management as one
OF the finest restaurants In the world.
The alterations had been completed
and the building stood ready to re-
ceive the new furniture.
The remoteness Of fire apparatus
and the position Of the building on
the hill made It difficult to fight the
flames, which made great Roadway
in the strong wind blowing at the
time. The fire department, realizing
that II would be futile to attempt to
save any part Of the cliff house, con-
centrated its efforts on the Sutro
baths adjoining. These were saved af-
ter hard fight.
At the time of the great San Fran
cisco earthquake last year 1t was re-
ported that the Cliff house had slid
into the sea. 1t was found later that
not only was this not true, but that
the building was hardly damaged at
all, the loss being not more than $780,
The famous Sutro baths, located near
the Cliff house, with their hundreds of
thousands OF square feet Of glass
roofing, were also practically I'M
harmed. Only a few Of the windows
in the Sutro baths and in the Cliff
house were broken and the lofty
chimney of the pumping plant of the
bath establishment was cracked
slightly.
The Cliff house was owned by
Adolph Sutro, the California million
ARE who did so much for San Fran
cisco's advancement. The first build
ing was destroyed by fire in 1895, and
the new Cliff house was built In 1898
at cost of $4,000 1t was con-
structed entirely of wood. The build
ing was 14O feet long and 90 feet
wide and projected far over the cliffs,
The main building faced toward the
east on Point Lobos avenue. The
other three parts were virtually bal
comics projecting from each of the
four stories. The whole idea was
French, with round Norman towers.
Two stories Of the building were
above the street level and two below
It on the sloping face of the cliff.
The verandas on the ocean side were
20 feet wide. The feature of the
house was the numerous dining
rooms and parlors. There were bill
Hard rooms, cafe, grill and bar rooms
and every possible comfort, not only
for the guests, but also for employers.

A CHECK ON KANSAS BANKS
Bank Commissioner Wants to Know
About Their Secuitieg.
Mr.. Royce Wishes Assurance That Out
Of Their Abundance Western Men
Are Paying for No Gold Bricks.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 9.-John Y.
Royce, state bank commissioner, sent
to each Of the $50 state banks of Kan
sas Saturday a request for detailed
statement of the amount and full de-
scription of the commercial paper"
on hand. This action is to check any
tendency which may exist on the part
of the banks to load up with an I'M
desirable class of commercial paper.
When the banks have reported what
paper they have an investigation may
be made to determine the character
Of the paper. In this way the bank
commissioner may be able to prevent
trouble in case Of a financial strin-
gency leading to a commercial panic
In the East.
Kansas bankers have never before
d such enormous amounts Of COM
mercial paper. 1t is estimated that
the banks of the state have at least
$4,000, 900 invested in this class Of
securities. It is considered gilt edge
Investment. 1t pays 6, 6h and 2 per
cent interest and lie the most profit
able form Of investment the bankers
can find.
The peculiar thing about the present
situation is that Kansas Is now the
creditor Of the East instead Of being
its debtor, and big commercial en-
terprises Of the country are coming
here to get money which cannot be
obtained at the financial eenters. A
few years ago the commercial paper
Of the big mercantile and manufac-
turing concerns bore only 4 or 5 per
cent interest and was issued in notes
of not less than 5000 or $4,000. At
that time the smaller Kansas bankers
were unable to handle such large
loans because Of q rule which pro
hibited carrying 30 many securities
Of one concern.
The people who issued commercial
paper had no trouble in getting all
the money they wanted at the big
financial cenlers, and were not at all
dependent upon Kansas banks for
funds to carry on their business. Since
tnen there have been some changes
going on IN the financial world
These changes have driven the com
