Fire as New Years symbol is favored in
Wales, as well. There fires are burned ON New
Years day to purify the house for the entrance of
a new and gladstone era and the ashes kept
sacredly from year to year, esteemed for special
medicinal virtues.
The ringing of bells to announce the death OF
the old year and the birth of the new one is
common in England and Scotland and In some
parts of the United States. In many English
churches impressive midnight services held.
In the dales of Westmoreland it is usual to
open the west door to let the old year out and TO
open the east door to let the new year in.
In England 1t is still enjoyable practice to
offer mince pie to every caller during the last

In Holland, as in Scotland, the wind is noted
with care, because the luck OF the year will be
determined by the direction whence it blows. The
south wind brings heat and fertility. the west
wind milk and fish, the north wind cold and
storm and east wind fruitful season.
In Italy the New Year is a day Of greeting and

SIGNERS ASSUMED
No MONEY RISKS
Former Cashier Admits Certain
Entries Were Made Under
His Direction, in Trial of
Bank Director.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 22.-David ].
Richardson, former cashier of the
Cosmopolitan National bank, closed
by the comptroller of the currency,
was a witness Friday I'm the trial Of
Alexander Richmond, jr., former di-
rector of the bank, indicted for having
misapplied banks funds and aiding
the cashier TO make false entries.
Richardson admitted the truth of
testimony given Thursday that names
of firms appearing on notes for lift
ing a $4,000 note given by Z. r.
Paul of the Santa Fe Central railroad
company were fictitious; that the
signers Of the notes assumed no re-
spOnsiblity and were so informed.
Mr.. Richardson said certain entries
had been made under his direction
but would not admit that they were
false ones. He did admit, however,
that the entries referred to him had
been made for the purpose of deceiv
ing the comptroller of the currency.
Is. T. Russell, and r. II. Farr, form
er employees of Arthur HirSch of Chi
cago, who was in business here before
the bank was closed were witnesses
Friday. HirSch had testified Thurs
day he had engineered the making of
fictitious notes by using the names of
firms that never existed to lift the
Paul note of $4,000.
Russell declared he took part in the
note making because Il understood
the Cosmopolitan National was carry
ing too much individual paper. The
bank linked the name of Russell and
FAIR and that was used in making up
the notes desired"
Farr did not remember signing any
particular note but he recalled sign
ing a note for the accommodation"
OF the Cosmopolitan National bank.

day night following an attack Of acute
indigestion, by which he was stricken
Thursday in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Marbles death came very I'M

ing just been called in.
The commissioner returned home
from Philadelphia Thursday night

clan was called. but apparently there
were no indications that the patients
condition was dangerous. Improve
ment continued until this evening un-
til Mr.. Marble was attacked with nau-
seating spells. He died at 1880 o'clock
a few minutes after the doctor ar
rived.
The news shocked Washington Off
Gals, particularly Mr.. Marbles asSo-
ciates on the commission.

completed Friday night, but will prob
ably be taken to Mr.. Marbles old
home in san Francisco for interment.
Mr.. Marble had been connected

cate workings. Mr.. Marble was as
