Business in Bad Shape.

In March, 1898, when the annual
inspection of the accounts was made
under the direction of State Auditor
Mccullough, it was found that the
business of the association was in bad
shape, and Mr.. Mccullough declined to
permit it to continue. He appointed
custodian and subsequently a re-
ceiver was appointed by the court to
close up the affairs of the association
The records of the court show that
claims were filed on behalf of Adlai
E. Stevenson Dec. 80, 1898. for three
amounts. aggregating $2,69647.
Throughout the life of the interstate
Building and Loan association may be
traced the name of Mr.. Stevenson AS
one of the board of directors from the
time the association was organized In
1889 he was required to be in close
touch with the affairs or the associa-
ton The responsibility for the con-
duct of the business rested upon the
board of directors. Because of his po-
litical prominence hundreds of people
were attracted to the association.
Many members belonging to the asso-
citation lived in distant states, so that
when the affairs of the association
were closed up 1t was NED sssary to ap-
point receivers therein. When Re-
ceiver Edward Barry had completed

They are to the effect that the pope suffered a stroke of apopleXy and that he had had a bad fainting spell and that the disease of the heart from which he suffers had suddenly grown worse. The reports were of a more alarming character than those circu- lated when Pope Plus a few days after the election, tainted in the Pauline chapel, while celebrating the first pom tifical mass. All were greatly eXag- gerated then however as the pope was only again suffering from the gout.
 The present attack began last night and by morning had become so acute that by the advice of his physician Dr. Petacci, the pope postponed all audiences arranged for today and to- morrow. The doctor says that a few days rest and dieting will be sufficient to restore the pope's health and that aside from the gOut, he is in perfect condition.
 The latest news from the vatican is to the effect that there has been a con- siderable amelioration of the progress of the disease and diminution of pain.

 The day. however was one of good progress Nor defense. The older Mrs. Thaw. pale and weak from here re- cent illness was assisted to the chair and repeated large part of testimony she gave a year ago. Her appearance of sincerity and her evidence as she told of her sons strange conduct after meeting Evelyn Nesbit and hearing her story had a marked effect upon all. On account of her weak condition her examination was interrupted by consent to be resumed next week when she will tell of Thaw's infancy.
 Jerome's manner lwhile the mother was on the stand was all deference. IL was his suggestion which led to a res pite in the ordeal. When the .young wife took the stand his changed mark ed, Jerome glanced at her and his ob- jections were fairly shouted in her ears. Well accustomed to court usage from her former experience. the young woman waited patiently for a ruling after each objection. When they were sustained she was silent and when they were overruled she was ever ready with her response.
 Effective testimony was given at the morning session by Miss Alice C. Fletcher of Washington, D. C., a long time friend of the Thaws and ire quent visitor at their home. She swOre she had known Hary Thaw for twenty-six years and he had always impressed her as irrational Miss Catherine O'Neill. who nursed Thaw as a boy from his third to tenth year. added her evidence to that already adduced as to the irrational conduct and tendencies on the part of the de- fendant.
