SOME WELL KNOWN DEANS.

OF the best known deans Of Westminster
Abbey in modern times have been that father OF
English geology, the Very Reverent William
Buckland, who before having his mind wrecked
by much learning became the subject of all
sorts of amusing stories in connection with his
extraordinary absences of mind during one Of
which he inadvertently swallowed the dried up
heart Of King Louis NV Of France, which was
being passed round after dinner for the inspec-
tion OF the guests of well known peer. who
had purchased it. along with the silver reliquary
containing 1t. when the Paris churches and the
abbeys Of St. Denis were sacked by the mob
in the great revolution. Dean Buckland who was
busily engaged in conversation when Il was put
into his hands transferred it to his mouth be
fore any one could stop him. under the i'm
preston that it waAa hlbert, which indeed IL
resembled. Another dean was Samuel Wlber-
force. son Of the abolitionist, and popularity
known as "SoaPy sam" by reason OF his courtiy
and suave manner. He died Bishop OF Win
chester and would have become Archbishop
OF Canterbury had It not been for the prejudice
which his mordant and rather worldly wit
created IN the mind OF the late Prince Consort.
and consequently IN that Of Queen Victoria.
Then there was Dean Trench. Who died as Arch
bishop Of Dublin; Dean Stanley. who paid
memorable visit TO the United States; Dean
Bradley and then the present incumbent Of the
Office Dean ArruitaKe Robinson, a divine who

The attention Of the King was drawn toward
him on the occasion OF the coronation. 1t seems
that when the time came for the crowning of
Edward VII It was found that the only person
who had taken the trouble to master the intri-
cate ritual and ancient traditions Of the cor
onation service, traditions extending over
thousand years, was Canon Armltage Robin
II may be recalled that King Edward to
q great extent himself directed what may be
described as the stage management Of the cor
onation and this brought him into constant
contact with Canon Robinson who was
never at loss fer information and who had
every precedent at his fingers ends. Conse-

PLAN A BANK TO CLEAR
FOR TRUST COMPANIES

New York. May 15.-Edwin S. Mars
ton, president OF the Farmers Loa &
Trust company, has suggested a plan
by which all the trust companies may
ba accorded clearing house facilities,
thereby obviatfng the necessity for the
cumbersome method of clearing trust
company checks over the counter"
The plan involves the organization
of a large bank, with a state charter,
which will become a member Of the
New York Clearing House association,
and through which the n~on-clearing
house banks and trust companies may
clear.
Clark Williams. state superintendent
OF banking, is said to favor the plan,
and metropolitan bankers generally re-
gard IT as overcoming the difficulties
that have prevented the admission of
trust companies to clearing house priv
ileges on equal terms with national
banks.

MUCH AT STAKE IN
TOBACCO TRUST CASE

Washington, May 15.-The most Inn
fortant rus busting case now pend
ing, I'm the opinioE of the waiting bust
ness interests of the country, is the
tobacco trust aSe
That case is 10 be decided by the
supreme court sometime the latter part
OF the present year, or early next year.
II is understood in circles here which
maintain close relations with the big
powers of finacial New York that a
number of big things in finance are
awaiting word from the courts as to
this case. .
In the tobacco case the government
has sought TO have the American To-
bacco company thrown into the hands
of a federal receiver, for the purpose
of administering it's affairs and making
certain that h combination Is dis
solved. This corporation Is a huge
holding company, with control Of the
stocks of an immense number Of to-
bacco and related corporations. The
government case against 1t is based
on a vast deal OF evidence gathered
from many sources, but resting on the
bread proposition that the concern is
q violation OF the Sherman antitrust
law.
Like Oil Case.
IL the government shall win in this
case. there will be small doubt of it's
success in the suit for dissolution OF
the Standard Oil company. The evil
dence in both cases follows tie same
lines. though In some regards the gov
eminent has been able to secure more
complete and satisfactory evidence to
sustain it's theory in the tobacco case
than in that OF Standard Oil. The to-
bacco Gaze IL farther ahead, having al
ready one up to the supreme court.
while the Standard Oil case has but
recently been submitted to the circuit
court at st. Louis. 1t IS the common
expression that the decision of one will
be the decision of both. though this Is
declared by the lawyers not to DE by
any means necessarily true.
