ORIENTAL BANK MIDDLE.
Latest Phase of Litigation Over Dis
missal of Receivers.

NEW YORK, March "a formal no.
tice of appeal from Justice O'Gorman' S
order of Saturday dismissing the re-
ceivers Of the Oriental Bank was filed by
Attorney General Jackson today. A few
minutes after the notice of appeal had
been filed Justice O'Gorman. in the SUI
preme court, denied an application made
by counsel for the bank for a resettle-
ment of his order Saturday approving
the agreement with the Metropolitan
Trust Company for the payment of de-
positors. The banks counsel wanted the
court to resettle his order SO as to set
forth that Attorney General Jackson con-
sented to 1t.
Justice O'Gorman suggested that as
the attorney generals application for a
stay pending an appeal was to be argued
tomorrow before the appellate division
II might be we'll to not only argue that
question, but to ask that court to hear
the full case on it's merits. In the mean
time the Carnegie Trust Company held
fast to all the books and assets of the
bank. which Justice O'Gorman's order
of Saturday directed it to relinquish.

ALLAHABAD, India. March 9.-Mr.

neer. some time ago obtained a conces-

In a band Of mica schist rock that tray-
erses the village. and discovered a mum.

being examined by the geological survey
at Calcutta. was found to consist Of VOL
frantic.
This wolframite differs in appearance
and constitution from the best known
specimens. but 1t yields on analysis no
less than GA per cent of tungstic acid,
which Is equal to that contained in the
best ores Of Colorado. The existence OF
wolframite in Agargaon has been proved
In numerous stringers at intervals extend
Ing over a length of 400 feet. and 1t has
been found at the opposite ends. of the
mica schist rock ten miles apart from
each other. Should the mineral be az
persistent at great depth as In America
where 1t Is being mined at depth Of 400
feet the deposit will be q very valuable
one, indeed It is believed that It will be
found at great depth.

WELLESLEY. Mass, March 9.-Miss
Clare NJ. Howard, professor Of rhetoric
and composition at Wellesley College. who
never sat In a game Of whist. severely
scores bridge playing among the students.
Miss Howard has issued q statement to
the students In which she says:
THE bridge playing fever does not
abate. 1t threatens to become a fixed
form of relaxation in college. especially
among women who cannot, like their
brothers, go out at night to break street
lamps. poster the policemen and make
such like protests against the higher life
THE rowdiest college boy, however does
not probably spend so much time in his
relaxation as does the quiet but constant
bridge player in our Wellesley commu-
nifty.
..When one thinks Of an undergraduate 8
ignorance of the world how sad 1t is to
contemplate our foolish virgins playing
bridge
Even the emp.iest mind must chew on
something. and bridge provides sort of
mental chewing sum.
ITO wear the colors Of q college woman
and to spend half ones time in emulating
the accomplishments of Anticipates Is to
be a trailer in the camp.
There are accomplishments of society
women which college girls might cult
vate-a beautiful voice. beautiful move
ments and every sort Of care for the body
but not the trick of playing bridge, that
last infrmity OF empty minds"
