Included in the credo of the perfectly good Bromide is the stout determination never to be among the first to read a new book and to boast manfully of the fact that q never read serials"
 Like firefiies in summer, and Ameri- cans in Europe, we never know when we are to meet this statements, or avoid hearing the fact exploited that the "six best sellers" do not appear upon the Five Foot Book Shelf.' In fact, these ideas enter so largely in their make up that they have become widely adopted among the illuminati.
 Being Bromide of the Bromides, in this instance, I have found myself turning a mental somersault and landing in the midst of one of the most delightful and entertaining literary achievements of the day, and thereby, being transformed into the other of the two classes which my friend MT. Gelett Burgess is pleased to term the "Sulphites."
 The change in my classification to that labelled "Sulphitic" is due to the fact that I have broken down all Bromidic barriers on the subject and have just finished reading Miss Frances Nimmo Greenes interesting novel, Unto the Night"
 Being so charmed with her book have actually shaken the dust of the Bromide from my feet henceforth and forever and have registered a vow that I shall always be among the first to read new books else I might miss something as truly en- tertaining as this story has proven.
 From Miss Greene had expected much and I was not disappointed.
 A woman or rare intellect and grace of mind seldom disapponts.
 Ay,I f- I, ,f- cst.., is mentally, as the French would say. "bien solgnee.'' Her mind is well groomed-intellect and intelligence draped with a sweetness of nature and woman Illness that is delightful constitute her mental apparel, which is more than con- vincing in her recent work of fiction.

letter they said: I'VE trust that this
plan, which has the advantage Of pay
ing all the depositors and relieving
them from every inconvenience due to
the closing Of the bank and tying up
of their deposits, will meet with your
approval" The attorney general re-
ceived this communication, but he none
the less had a receiver appointed for
the bank The directors at once took
I'D the case before another judge, who,
on a simple statement Of what II
proposed to do to protect the deposit
tors, vacated the receivership. The
receiver who had taken charge was
only in office seven days, but those
seven days cost the bank $4,000. AS
an evidence Of the good faith Of the
directors 1t Is interesting to say that
not only were the depositors Of the
bank paid in full but also a dividend
was paid on the stock.
The same attorney general about that
time named his secretary, who had been
receiving salary Of s125 month, to
receivership of the Mechanics and
Traders bank. He pulled 100000 out
Of It in three months.
All this did not escape the notice OF
that keen-eyed, whiskered governor up
at Albany. He had been elected on
platform that declared for service to
all the people; and when you know
Governor Hughes you soon find out
that he usually does what he sets out
to do. He was independent Of the
bosses, and 1t was the bosses who had
kept alive that old receivership system
That system was not the only defect In
the state banking laws. One reason
why some of the big trust companies
in New York had been unable to with
stand the inroads Of panic-stricken de-
positors was because they had been do
ing a savings bank business at the re-
ceiving end Of their counters and a
speculative business at the disbursing
end. They did not have enough reserve
when the crisis came. This also en-
gagged the governors notice.
Many governors would have leaped
In and demanded reform without in
vestigation. But that is not the way
Governor Hughes does things. He in
forms himself first and then acts.
What he did was to appoint commits
sion Of prominent bankers, headed by
Mr.. A. Barton Hepburn, president OF
the Chase National bank, to suggest
changes in the banking laws.
In its report the banking commission
urged a radical change in the laws
governing receiverships, recommending
that all liquidations Of failed state in
stitutions be made under the supervis-
ion of the state superintendent OF
banks. The committee referred to the
economical way in which national banks
were liquidated under the direction of
the controller of the currency, and
suggested that a plan similar in scope
be adopted for New York state.

Democratic Peers.


Strangely enough, the house Of lords
still remains the most democratic in
stitution in England. 1t may still
claim for itself to be the Witenagemot,
or gathering Of wise men, and one won
ders why It does not defend itself along
those lines.
It is not q house Of birth or ances-
try, for 1t Ia composed today to an
overwhelming extent Of successful men
from almost every walk Of life. No one
cares a fig what a mans ancestry was
in this matter Of fact land II he sue
ceeds, II he becomes rich and powerful.
The mother Of the great Queen Eliz-
abeth was the daughter Of plain Eng
lish gentleman.
A pot girl Of Westminster married
the master Of the pothouse. After his
death she consulted a lawyer named
Hyde. Mr.. Hyde married her. Mr..
Hyde afterward became lord chancel-
lor, with the title Of Lord Clarendon,
and his wife, the former pot girl, bore
him a daughter. This daughter mar
ried the Duke Of York and became the
mother of Mary and Anne Stewart,
both afterward queens of England.
It Is evident that II queens Of Eng
land may have barmaid for grand
mother lesser mortals need not fret on
the subject Of ancestry.
The Englishman would not be what
he is nor would he In the least be
transmitting his very valuable Saxon
heritage If he gave up his democratic
custom of an aristocracy Of power for
the feeble continental custom Of an
aristocracy Of birth. What the one
and the other is today answers the
question as to the relative merits Of
the two systems without need Of dis
cussion. The English, though nova
days many Of them do not know 1t
themselves, are the most democratic
Of all nations.
William the Conqueror divided Eng
land among the commanders Of his
army and conferred about twenty earl
doms. Not one Of these exists today.

Beating Against Barrers.-"China
is making an effort to break down the
barriers that have been raised against
her in Australia" Charles d. Knight, a
lawyer of Denver, who has spent many
years in the Orient, and who recently
rturned from Australia, said to
Washington Post reporter.
"This is shown by the recent appoint
ment of Hwang Yuan-lung, as Chinese
consul general for New Zealand. The
appointment of a consul general In
Australia, it is said in China, is due to
the presence in Australia Of several
thousand Chinese, against whom, 1t Is
complained, the provisions Of the i'm
migrant act are more vigorously en-
forced than against the Japanese. The
Chinese naturally do not like the gen.
eral trend against the yellow race that
has been shown in Australia. The
Chinese merchant in that country has
been singularly successful, and he Is
looked upon as honest and intelligent,
both of which qualifications cannot be
ascribed to the japanese"

LUNG LOST CITY Is EXPLORED.
Digging For Ineas' Treasure In the
"CradIe of Gold"

"CradIs of Gold"
Details of the first exploration of the
lost city Of the Incas" by others than
Peruvians were brought to New York
Wednesday by DR.. Hiram Bingham,
lecturer on Latin American history at
Yale university, an authority on the
history of the South American conti-
nent. He arrived on the Prinz August
Wilhelm, of the Hamburg-American
Lines Atlas service.
DR. Bingham, in a trip across South
American, completed only few weeks
ago, was the first foreigner to reach
Choqauequirau, which until a few
months ago no man, according to le-
gend, had seen in 400 years. His jour-
ney occupied seven months. He trav-
eled 1000 miles on mule back and
made a side trip to Valparaiso. where
he attended the first Pan American
scientific congress as a representative
of the United States and of Yale.
1.-The name 'Choqquequirau' means
cradle of gold,'" said DR.. Bingham
"and the legend says that 1t was the
place where the rulers of the Incas
hid their treasures, when they fled from
the Spaniards in the time of Cortez.
They formed a company down there
last year which was digging for buried
treasure.
ITO get there required a weeks hard
travel from Cuzco, the ancient capital
of the Incan empire. Most Of the time
we were hanging on to the side of a
mountain almost by our eyelids. We
had to descend into a valley 5000 feet
deep, across an otherwise impossible
river by a suspension bridge made of
four telegraph wires, wade through a
Jungle for sixteen miles, and then
clumb up 5000 feet. Choqquequrau lies
at an elevation of about $4,000 feet.
"I believe that the place was fort
built by the Incas to protect them
selves against attacks of the Amazon
ian Indians. l found traces of forti-
fications, made measurements, opened
two graves, and found many interest

of the finely wrought stone of the pal

teriors in some cases are p1astered

ENvER BEY.
Hss Been Called the Napoleon Of the
n Young Turks"

n Young Turks"
Enver Bey, who has been the most
prominent of the leaders Of the Young
Turk forces in the field during the pres
ent uprising against the power Of Abb
dul Hamid H., has been described as
the Napoleon of Turkey and the idol
of the army. Personally, Enver Bey
disclaims any such distinction and says
of himself: Il am simply a lieutenant
Of Chefket Pasha, who is commander
in chief Of the army of liberation"
Despite this modest self-estimation,
the fact remains that Enver Bey has
displayed the qualities which make for
generalship of the highest type. He
first came into military prominence
during the revolution at Salonica last
July, the uprising which gave the
Young Turks the constitution they de-
sired and which they are now fighting
to maintain. In company with Niazi
Bey, Enver Bey was the brains Of the
initial Young Turk movement and In
this present movement against the sui
tan his selection by Chefket Pasha as
leader Of the forces has proved a
wise one
At present ranking as a major but
with far greater powers as the head
of the constitutional forces, Enyer Bey
stands in line for great distinction In
the event of the successful outcome of
the revolution. OF good family and
high character, and hard worker from
the date Of his entrance into the army
through his course at the Pancaldi Staff
College up to the present time, Enver
Bey has enjoyed the greatest popular.
ity among his comrades in the service.
AS a member of the Committee on
Union and Progress, the executive body
of the Young Turks, 1t has been neces-
sary for him to dip into the political
end of the revolution; but 1t Is In the
organization and direction Of troops
that he shines most brightly. The pol
itical work has been distasteful to him
and the command Of the Young TURK
forces, which has devolved upon him
to a great extent, is much more In line
with this young mans desires.
When the present outbreak came, En-
yer Bey was in Berlin negotiating the
purchase Of arms and ammunition; but
upon receipt Of the news of the revo-
luton he hastened to Salonica by way
of Vienna, taking with him Hakki Bey,
the Turkish military attache In the
Austrian capital, who Is also a men,
ber of the general staff. Immediately
upon his arrival at the headquarters OF
the Young Turk party, he became the
moving spirit Of the organization, AMI
the success which has so far crowned
his efforts to establish constitutional
government for the Ottoman empire
have marked him as a born leader

cry ones eyes, Enver Bey's included.
He hurriedly moved away to hide his
emotion and to escape further mani
