stopped. broke line and fled and the
from the windows poured a deadly vol
ley. When the smoke finally cleared
away two hundred and fifty lay dead
or dying in the open space now covered
by the esplanade Of the Royal Ex-
change. The attacking army wavered,
stopped. broke line and fed; and the
Gordon riots were at an end.
During the first part OF the reign Of
George II. II was the practice OF all
deposit, the receipts being passed from
hand to hand and serving the same
purpose as the check OF to-day.
AT that time Childs's Bank. private
concern. which had the backing of a
great part Of the English nobility. ex-
hibited such signs OF future greatness
that the Bank Of England became
greatly alarmed. especially in view Of
the fact that the "Old I.ady's" notes
were at a discount of 10 per cent. So
little by little. through their agents, the
managers OF the Bank OF England
bought up every receipt bearing the
Childs signature. allowing the collec-
tions to accumulate each year until the
time should be ripe. curing a shortage
OF gold, TO present the receipts in one
great mass for payment. 1t was deemed
a certainty that Childs's would not be
able to meet the demand and would thus
be ruined.
The principal figure In the drama tina,
ensued was no other than the famous
sarah Jennings. in whom Childs's Bank
found Its stanchest supporter. One
night there came a wild changing at the
bell Of the great gate OF the town
OF Bie'nheim-a changing that soon
wakened every one In the town.
A white faced. travel stained man
staggered into the ducal hall. begging
an audience with her Grace. When
the Duchess. In her dressing gown. ap-
peared. demanding to know the reason
for this unseemly visitation. the man
explained that the Bank Of England
held the Childss receipts In the amount
Of six hundred and twenty thousand
pounds. that those receipts would be
presented for payment At noon follow
Ing. that there was not at Childs' S
enough gold to meet them. that unless
the demand could be satisfied within
eight hours Childs's was ruined, and
that there was but one person In the
world--her Grace-to whom they might
turn.
Whercupon the redoubtable Duchess
sat down and wrote out a check, which
she handed to the agent. 1t was an
order on the Bank OF England for the
payment Of 100000. He was instructed
to take this check to the Bank Of Eng
land and to say that II II hesitated
Tor single instant in paying II the
Duchess would proclaim II as n de.
faultcr
At l? o'clock that day there appeared
at the Childs's counter an agent OF the
Bank of England bearing q big bagful
OF receipts and blandly suggesting i'm
mediate payment. At the same mo-
ment the Childs's agent was in Thread
needle street receiving cash on the
check Of the Duchess
The cashiers at Childs's naturally
took their own time In scrutinizing the
receipts. spending fully half an hour
over the first batch alone. They were
at the end OF the first hundred when
their messenger arrived. Then they
quickened the procedure n little and
within ten minutes the Bank OF Eng
land had been paid In Its own coin.
The net result was that Childs's was
many thousand pounds richer.

Remedies.

The white slave" traffic, causes OF

OF the First Methodist Episcopal church
last evening by Miss Amy Il. Eaton. who

Miss Eatou's remarks were open and
fearless. She declared that the So called
social evil was no more deep-rootcd In
human nature than was slavcry, which
was oyertnrown at the cost OF precious
blood
Going back 10 the earliest history of
man. Mics Eaton gave authentic refer
OF the white slave traffic DOWN 10 the
present century.
She told rnany touching stories of
Young girls misled. dwelling particularly
friendless and penniless. and also pointed
out tho need of laws requiring working

omical conditions, immoral llteratur and
pictures, the double standard of morals
that permits man 10 do things that
arc considered wrong In women, lack of
proper education and failure TO enforce
existing laws on the evil.
Miss Eaton said that there were many
remedies, some OF which were believed
to be tolerat ton. regulation, segregation
and state supervision, but that a absolute
annihilation was the only real remedy,
To bring this about. she declared. eS-
lstinS laws must be enforced, new laws
must be enacted, the public must he

norance and Indifference and young pco-
pie must be better educated as TO the

She also supported the so-callsd eugenics

shown before marriage is permitted
In concluding Miss Eaton declared that
