HAMILTON FISH USES AK.
Dismisses Paying Teller and Assist
ant of New York Subtreasury.


NEW YORK, January 25.-After a serv-
ice Of thirty years i'm the United States
subtreasury in various capacities, Samuel
B. Terry, paying teller, is out. his resigna-
ton having been demanded by Assistant
United States Treasurer Hamilton Fish, the
head of the subtreasury.
No reason Is assigned by Mr. Fish except
q violation Of some order which he told
Terry 'he could not afford to overlook" It
Is said that Terry's accounts are intact,
and that in all the years he has handled
millions of dollars not one cent has gone
aStray.
Edgar F. Lee, Terrys assistant, is also
out of the department for the same infrac-
ton of the rules that brought about Ter
RVS dismissal.
has appealed to Secretary Shaw for a re-
opening of his case. Many prominent finan-
ciers In Wall street have, 1t is said, ap-
pealed to Mr.. Fish to put Terry back in his
old position. Mr.. Fish said yesterday that
Mr. Terry was a very valuable man: that
there was no question of his honesty, and
that If he had a private bank he would not
hesitate to employ him.
1t has been suggested that one of Mr..
FiSh's orders prohibiting his subordnates
from accepting Christmas presents from
banks doing business with the subtreasury
missal but this was denied by an official
in position to know. Regarding this order
Mr.. Fish said:
II issued the order because I wanted all
banks doing business with the government
on an absolute equality. It's human nature
to favor any one who takes care of you,
and one bank would be able to get new cur
rency, for instance. where another bank
could not do so. The order put stop to

HISTORIC PRISON RAzED.
Passing Of the Famous French jail,
st. Lazare.

PARIS, January 25.-The famous prison
of st. Lazare, one of the great historic
landmarks of Paris, is about to be pulled
down, and what for some years has been
a moral and physical plague spot will give
way to fine open squares and commodious
dwellings. Romantic and tragic memories
cling about the old structure.
st. Lazare, as it's name indicates, was at
first lepers' hospital. built at the end of
the eleventh century, on the site of a BASIL
lea dedicated to st. Laurent. It sprang
rapidly into fame for kings used frequently
to visit 1t in token Of humility and faith.
In 1852, leprosy having practically disap-
peared in France, the hospital was handed
over to Saint Vincent de Paul, who estab-
lished there number OF priests OF his mis-
sion, known as the congregation of st.
Lazare. st. Vincent himself died at St.
Lazare and his cell is still shown to Wis
knees of the saint. st. Vfncents success
sors neglected the work commenced by him
and the house was turned into sort Of re-
f0rmatory for insubordinate priests and
unruly sprigs of nobility fer whom their
parents had secured 'lettres de cachet"
The Lazarists having stored large quanti-
ties of provisions in view of a possible fam
inc, the mob of Paris sacked the establish
ment on the 18th of July, 1850. the eve Of
the storming of the Bastile, and released
forty prisoners. During the terror many
"ci-devants were confined there before be-
ing tried by the revolutionary tribunal. Il
was from. st. LAzare that Andre Chenier
was led to the guillotine. After the revolu-
ton the surrounding lands were sod and
built on, st. Lazare itself remaining q
prison. but only women were confined there
Many celebrated female offenders have been
lodged at st. Lazare while awaiting trial.
among them Madame Humbert.
From the hospital which adjofns the
prison large subterranean passage leads
to the plain Of st. Denis, and in 1871 q
number of federals escaped from Paris
through this tunnel.
OF recent years The prison has been used
solely for the confinement of the pit:ful out
casts of society who are gathered in from
the streets and boulevards of Paris

FAMINE IN CHINA.
Peking Giving Aid for First Time in
Its History.

SAN FRANCISCO. January 25.-J. G.
Coolidge. former secretary of the American
legation at Picking, who arrived yesterday
on the liner Korea, says that for the first
time in its long history the Chinese gov
eminent is rendering organized relief to
famine victims.
The rice tribute from districts in the
vicinity Of the famine-stricken area has
been directed for the relief of the sufferers
and Is being systematically distributed
under government direction. Refugees
have been concentrated at Kangking and
other large towns on the lower Yang-tse,
and the government aid has been effect
lively administered There refugees will
have to be fed for four months, when a
new crop Is expected to restore normal
conditions in the famine belt.
Mr. Coolidge believes there is little dan
ger of renewal Of the anti-American boy
colt. The danger spot is Canton. and
there new yiceroy. friendly to foreigners,
has taken the place of the arbitrary and
very unpopular governor under whose ad-
ministration the boycott flourished.
