In the early sixties of the last Gen.
tury the Smithsonian Institution was
infested with rats. Nothing In the
building seemed 10 be rat proof. They
ate skins cured with arsenical soap or
table linen or the contents OF Professor
Henry's pantry without discrimination.
Every Que 10 the city. from Professor
Henry TO the bootbiack. had u sub

AS Professor Henry. who lived In
the east end of the building. was lis
tening TO an account OF the ruin
wrought In his home during that day
Professor Spencer Baird walked In
and said. just as II he had been fol-
lowing every word OF the family con

Professor Henry aud iaughingiy pre-
dicted the repetition of the famous old
tale OF the Pied Piper Of Hamelin.
Several days later the rat king"
appeared In Washington. He was al

wore clothes too loose for description:
they had no shape. lie carried n large
oilcloth sack and u covered basket.
His pen etrating blue eyes were almost
covered by shaggy eyebrows. aud his
blond hair had not been cut. but hng-
gled. His was short ana
brisk. and he went straight 20 the

He declared that not a rat would be

On Sunday morning the queer old
man emerged from the darkness so

hopes are INDUCED that the speculative

power of the efforts making to that end
are deducible from differences outside the
regular banking channels. The con-
traction of nearly $40000,000 in the
loan account Of the clearing house

turbance In the stock market involved
point to other sources of relief, Reports
that French funds were placed here met

Attention turns to the scaling down
of over $40, 100000 in the deposits of nom

by an actual increase in loans. 1t Is
known that large loans were placed In
Wall street last week by important pri-
vate banking houses bearing close rela-
tions with the largest corporations. 1t is
believed that surplus treasury funds of
these corporations thus found their way
into employment In the stock market
