Contributors to prison publica-
tions, or at least that part Of them
whose fields Of action are limited to
the narrow confines Of tn e little
world to which they unwillinglv be-
long, labor under many difficulties
not appreciated by those in more
congenial surroundings. Chief
among these difficulties is that Of
finding subject matter worthy of
consideration, or Of sufficient inter-
est to hold the attention of the read
er. Good literature is great aid.
but by no means supplies the needs
in this respect. Where one must
depend entirely upon books or even
weekly or monthly publications, the
result, though beneficial to the writ
er, proves of little interest to the
reader. Possibly the most reliable
stock in trade of the average inmate
contributor is found in the fullness
Of the more happy and eventful
past. As time passes this, however,
receeds and memories of more joy
GUS occasions lend little inspira-
ton to the present. In. order that
the knowledge gained by past expe-
riences be available, the mind must
be refreshed by daily contact with
the world of men and action. This
is, of course, impossible in the case
of the average inmate contributor.
Consequently memory soon becomes
sluggish and less responsive to his
present needs. Originality is some
thing that only a few can hope to
attain. The average individual, in !
whatever surroundings, must be con-
tent to tread the already we'll beaten
trail. Every writer has an ideal to
which his efforts usually aspire. The
IDEAL Of the man, whose life brings
him in contact with the better ele-
nent of mankind, seldom suffers
rom his associations, while the man

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 18.- The
Tradesmen's Trust Co., with capital
of s5OO,OOO and deposits, when the last
report was made, of $1,32S,000, closed
it's doors this morning.

SETS, properly administered, will pay
its entire Indebtedness and leave a

assets are largely in the shape Of

CINCINNATI BANK
CLOSED BY STATE
Bank Examiner Declared Officials Had
Made Loans Not Approved by
State Banking Department..

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 18.-The Metro
politan Bank. and Trust Co. closed its
doors today on order OF the state
banking department of Ohio. State
hank examiners E. F. Romer and G. S
Baxter will remain In charge of the
bank until deputy is appointed. The
bank, which was organized six years
ago, has capital stock amounting to
$4,000.
It's total resources are $4,000 and
it's deposits about $750,00O. OF the de.
posits $125,OOO are city and county
funds which are guaranteed. The
officers of the bank are. president, T.
J. McNarris, vice presidents, John J.
Bruce and R. X. Leblode, and cashier,
Alfred Morrison.
In statement given out by them
they claim that all depositors are fully
protected and that there will be no
loss.
The reason for the closing of the
bank by the state authorities, 1t was
claimed, was that the officials of the
institution had been given too much
latitude in making loans on collateral
not approved by the state.
When news that the bank would not
open for the day became circulated,
depositors gathered about its doors
and a squad Of police was called to
keep them in line. There was no dis
order. The bank had state charter
and it's deposits were all Of a savings
character.

Russian Premier Showed

Kiev, Sept. 1S-The condition OF
Premier Peter A. Stolypin this evening
is considered almost hopeless, the
heart is said to he unable to stand the
drain on the internal hemorrhage.
At 1:3O o'clock this afternoon 1t
was stated that the patients condi.
tion was becoming worse. The medi.
cal means to relieve the premier were
unavailing.

made at Kiev.
At 2::30 o'clock the patients tenn
perature was 95. Five physicians
We're in attendance but could do little
for the wounded man.
The patient had appeared to i'm
prove until late Saturday when per
itonitis set in. During yesterday, the
premier showed no Improvement, the
patient still exhibited symptoms Of
peritonitis. The development of un-
favorable symptoms followed few
hours after the patient had made q
hopeful rally. The rally followed the
removal of the bullet by the surgeons
in an effort to relieve the premier OF
the unbearable pain Of which he had
complained throughout Saturday night,
and which had thrown him into state
Of depression where death seemed a
welcome relief.
The operation was entirely success
full. The bullet was removed without
difficulty. Hopes apparently were
justified when the premier experienced
a great sense of relief and cheerfully
talked with his attendants, inquiring
Of current events and commenting on
the appearance of his assailant.

ful as he came up to me in the thea

bowed--a sorry figure" But the favor

the patients pulse began to mount
alarmingly and unmistakable symp-

remained strangely norm

which indicates perfect health.
The doctors placed great hopes on
the wonderful constitution of their
patient, who was in the pink of con-
dition after months sojourn in the
but at the same time, they
pointed out that complications are al
ways likely. The patient was nervous
from the start. The arrival and pres

Saturday night he was tortured by
frequent attacks of hiccoughing.

Gated was large calibre, and proved
