lie service rendered by DIR. Thomas du-
ring his past two year, stay in Kimball,
rendered him a royal reception at the
cory home of DIR. and Mrs. }. +. Ross
Monday night. This occasion Was given
because of the fact that DIR. Thomas
resignation became effective Monday and
because he makes his departure at once
for Annapolis, Md where he will begin
q business for himself. Elaborate prep
arations were made for his entertain
ment and right well was il carried out.
Promptly at 6 o'clocx the invited guests
composed of both married and single,
richly costumed were gathering. The
home was beautifully decorated and
brilliantly lighted up from bottom to top.
Pleasant smiles on the faces of each guest
bore the ear-marks of real and unaffect-
Ell friendship replete with the best of fel-
lowship for and toward each other The
evening wss probably spent in listening
n vocal and instrumental selections, in
nocent games, dancing and q free ex-
change at telling jokes" Ice cream,
cake and fruits were served plentiously
TO the satisfaction Of all present. Many
were the expressions for DIR. Thomas
success by all who babe him goodbye.

FINALLY GOT HIS INTERVIEW
Death of James creelman Recalls Re
markable Exploit of News
paper Man.

James Creelmans death in Germany
while still in the prime of life recalls
All exploit of which any newspaper
reporter might be proud, observes the
Wall Street journal He was in Lon.
don at the time of the Barring crisis in
1890, and performed the unheard-of
feat of securing for the New York Her
aid an exclusive interview with the
governor of the Bank of England.
It is matter of history how the gov
ernor. the right Hon. William H. Lid
derdale. handled that crisis. He lived
to see the Barings successfully liquid
ated and stronger than ever, with the
financial situation in Argentina re-
stored, the g3,000O0O gold which he
borrowed by means of acceptances
from the Bank of France returned in
due course with the seals of the pack
ages unbroken.' The London market
was tided over desperate emergency
with the minimum of disturbance, al
though there were some forty failures
in the stock exchange.
Lidderdale died not long ago, leav-
ing an estate valued at only $4,000.
He was strong man and an honest
one. But the idea of interviewing him
was so remote that only an irreverevt
American would have thought OF it.
Creelman had no pass key or letters
Of introduction. He simply went to
the Bank of England, and starting
with the astonishing "beadle," worked
his way up. He was sent from depart
ment to department, to the secret
amusement of various heads, until he
actually found himself in the pres
ence of the governor.
But the joke failed to explode. Lid
derdale was long-headed Scotchman.
much too intelligent not to see the
value of publicity at such a time He
was no slave to precedent He gave
Creelman an excellent interview of
frank and reassuring character, which
was published in the following Sun
days New York Herald. It was a
great scoop; and the London papers
spent money frantically on cable toll
getting facts on their own situation
from New York for their Monday
issue.
A precedent was set. and since that
time English flnanciers have been
more approachable. 1t may be said
also that publicity there, rs in Wall
street, has done much to clean up ad-
mitted evils, and to set honest finance
right with public opinion. The story
is well worth recalling. for it has an
obvious moral which should never be
forgotten.
