Withdrawn from the So national banks OF

the huge Withdrawals represented inter
est payments piled up in anticipation Of
the January dividend days.
A comparison with the national banks
of Chicago shows that the drop was con-
fined almost entirely to New York City.
The II Chicago banks reported loss of
about 100000 in individual deposits. The

FAMOUS HILL or TARA
James Bryce Calls It Most Interesting
Monument Of Early Civilization.

The harp that once through Tara's halls,
The soul OF music shed,
Now hangs As mute on Tara's walls
walls - ~
So sleens the pride Of formerSdaYp
SO glory's thrill isEo'er.7 ~
And hearts that once beat high for
Now feel that pulse no more
No more to chiefs and ladies' bright !
The harp Of Tara sweils;
The chord alone that breaks at night !.
Its tale of ruin tells,
And freedom now so seldom wakes;
The only throb she gives 500.
Is when some heart indignant breaks
To show that stiil she lives.
Many curious things have taken place
in the course of the ages In regard TO
this famous hill. which is so closely tden-
titled with early history. A few years
ago Mr.. James Bryce. ex-chief secretary
of Ireland, present British Ambassador
at Washington and walking 'encyciope-
dia,'' stated that the Iiill or Tara was the
most interesting and authentic rnonu-
ment Of early civilization IN northwestern
Europe. 1t was the site Of the roya al
palace of the ard-righs or high kings of
Ireland for many centuries. 1t was
there, while a great national assembly
was being held. that St. Patrick convert
ed the ard-rgh. Leary.s to Christianity.
an event which is celebrated in many old
Gaelic poems. one Of which was rendered
into English by, Clarence, Mangan.
The glories Of the place came to an END
In a curious way. The ard-righ. grand
son or great-grandson OF Leary. sent his
representative out through the provinces
to collect the usual annual tribute. This
particular representative Of the high
king was bit injadicious. for when hs
arrived at the paface OF King. Guare OF
Conuaught he insisted on entering It with
his spear across hfs body under his
arms. The spear was TOO fong-or the
door was too narrow--to admit OF en-
trance in this way. So, In the name OF
the ard-righ, he ordered the door to be
pulled down. so that he could enter IN
the way he desired. King G,Iare refused.
Hence the feud that ultimately laid Tara
low. The clerics championed the. cause Of
King Kuare. and in due time deputa-
tion of them went to Tara, and tpne sof
them solemnly cursed the hill. with the
result that It became gradually deserted.
that the inense palace fell into ruins. and
kings of Ireland. ~
Looking at 1t today. one would never
imagine that it had any historic interest.

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Extended Hearing on Saturday S
Searches and Seizures.

LIQUOR cases of rather an extended
nature occupied the attention OF the
municipal court nearly all day Mon
day, when the persons arrested at the
Greek block on Lockwood street Sat
urday afternoon were brought up for
trial. The grist of testimony, and the
fact that the witness for the defence
could not speak a word of English
made the session q lengthy one. The
hearings were before Judge Shaw.
Refat Sinan. Askerie Bragia, George
Courevesis and George Robinson were
the names of the defendants arraign-
ed. The testimony given by Deputy
Sheriffs Mccarthy and Billiveau and
Officers Baxter, Donnelly. Albert and
Maheu was to the effect that Satur-
day afternoon the officers went to the
place numbered 20 and - Lockwood
street, otherwise known as the Joseph
block, and there encountered many
difficulties in Searching the rooms OF
the building. An. amount of whiskey
wine and beer was found in the vari-
Gus rooms and the above named men
were arrested. Sinan, according to
the testimony of Officer Donnelly. was
in the act OF coneealing a pint bottle
of Whiskey when he discovered him
Robinson occupied one of the rooms in
which Whiskey was found but he dis
claimed any knowledge of It's presence
The other two occupied rooms in which
liquor was found.
The testimony against Courcvesis
was not strong and he was discharg
Ell at the morning session. AtShe aft
ernoon session Harry Hilton. manager
of the American Express. testified that
he found no record of liquor having
been delivered at this block. The
court found Snan. Bragia and
Robinson guilty of illegally having
liquor in their possession and fined
them 800, with an additional sentence
OF so days in Jail Bragia and Sinan
furnished 5000 bail for their appear
ance at the April term Of the superior
court and Robinson was released or
his personal recognizance for the same
| term.
