FINANCIAL SHOALS National Bank of North America Lost $10,000,000 in Deposits During the Recent Financial Flurry.

NATIONAL BANK EXAMINER . APPOINTED RECEIVER. Comptroller of the Currency Took Charge of Institution Today President Havemeyer Issues a Statement. I New York, Jan. Comptroller ff the Currency William K. Ridgely yesterday ordered the National Hank of North America closed for liquidation, find appointed Charles Hanna, national bank examiner, an lvceiver. The aftermath of the financial storm fit last October in its effect on the bank which today closed its doors, has been in Ihe shape of heavy and ierHi.stent withdrawals, the result, according to President V. F. Havernieyer, of insistent, rumors set afloat respecting the bank's condition. Membership in the Clearing House association enabled the bank to weather the Bale for a time, hut the aid extended by this asFoclatloti in the form of loan certificates finally became the means t bringing aboui i!k decision to go into liquidation, when the call for their redemption was intimated to the directors oa Salurdav last. The bank's indebtedness to the Clearing House association is $2,200,000. President Ilavermeyer, in a statement given out, laid the blame for the trouble upon the persistent rumors he declared wc-e the cause of withdrawals, which, on Saturday, became so heavy that it was be'ieved the bank would not be able to meet the obligations of today. Two meetings of the directors were held yesterday and at the conclusion of the last the directors decided to "withdraw from the Clearing House association and ask the comptroller of the currency to take charge of the liquidation of the bank President llavenieyer last night gave out the following statement concerning the closing of the institution: Rumors Would Not Down. "There had been persistent rumors for the last ten days that the bank would be obliged to liquidate or else go into the hands of a receiver. These rumors coming from apparently unknown sources have been so insidious that it, was impossible to meet them. They have resulted in a slow and continuous drain on our reserves. On Saturday there was a still heavier withdrawal, indicating that on Monday the demand would be increased so that we would not have enrtugh cash in our vaults to meet It. As the committee of the Clearing Hoiise announced its Intention ro issue jin more Clearing House certificates. the directors Ihoiieht it advisable to r coies' the ;onut roll m to put ome one in charge at least cmporarily, so all our depositors should be treated alike. "I accepted the presidency of the hank temporarily with rel.ictance at the urgent reonesA 4tf"Tmniinent financiers last October, at the time when .Mr. Charles Y. Morse retired as vice president. During the panic the bank lost over $10,000,000 in deposits. Its deposits now amount to above 2 500,000. ' 1 had hoped to get back a number of our depositors and so rehabilitate the bank, but the state of our cash reserves and the difficulty on our part of lending money to those who might have returned it to us put it out of our power to offer them a sufficient reason for resuming banking relations Vith us. "In my opinion the bank is perfectly solvent and there is every indication that the stockholders will receive par for their stick, with a careful and conservative liquidation."

How a Caspar da Salo Masterpiece Was Secured by a Vienna Collector and How It Passed Into the Hands of the Gifted Man From Norway. In the year of our Lord 1521 iu the . little Lombard town of Salo, on the pieturesquo Lago di Garda. was born the man who fashioned the tirst violfn. . His real name was Garpar Kertolotti. but he w as and is commonly known as , Gaspar da Salo. alter bis native i lty, which caused a marble bust of this most distinguished f its sous to be executed by the Italian sculptor Za- : r.elli ami placed iu the stairway of its city hall. Gf his yeuth and apprenticeship we know nothing. No doubt be learned the art of viol ami lute making at Dreseia, where hy eaiue in touch with jnaster lutieis like Zanefto, Yirehi and , Montichiari. ! At all events, we first hear of liiin as j established at Brescia as a viol and vio- j lin maker. Time has smoothed away j all knowledge of the real man, whetUer lie was industrious or idle, generous . or ungenerous, happy or unhappy, wise, or unwise, married or single. That he made viols, tenors, basses and violins we know. That his violins are the first authentic specimens of the violin tuak- j er's art in existence or of w hich there I is authentic record is also certain. So; his title to Ihe distinction of being the'

first violin maker can hardly be questioned. However, about the year 1S12 a j claim was put forward that a certain Gaspar 1 iuiffpruggcar w as the inventor of the vioiin. The story ran that this Gaspar luin'pruggcnr was born in the Tyrol in UGP, that he established himself at La tier, in Rologna (.famous for its sausages.i, that iu lolT) he was summoned to l'aris by Francis 1. and appointed "royal instrument maker" and that he was the friend and intimate of Leonardo da Vinci, who painted the backs of some of his violins. Soon after this account of Duiffpruggcar and his violins was- published three violins which were alleged to be the genuine work of Duiffpruggcar made their appearance, with labels dated 1510 to It is now settled that these violins were fraudulent, made by some skillful French lutier, possibly Vuillaume. Moreover, It is now known that Duiffpruggcar was a German, born in Bavaria in 1514, and that his real name was Tiefenbrucker. He was never in Italy, and the story of his relations with Francis I. and Ieonardo da Vinci is a fabrication. It is now established that' he settled in Lyons. France, about 1550 and died there about 1570 or 1571. The only evidence which in any wise supports or gives color to the claim that I uiffpruggcar ever made a violin is a picture by Pierre Woriiriot, dated 15"2, now in the National library at l'aris. This picturo is a portrait of; Duiffpruggcar at the age of forty-eight, J In which he is represented with a long, flowing beard standing behind a pile! of stringed instruments, among which j appear two rude violins. Gaspar du Salo wan making violins at llrescia at I this time, 15u2, so the picture falls fat j short of proving that the Italian Gaspar was anticipated by the man from i Bavaria. But what weighs almost conclusively , against Duiffpruggear's claim is the : fact that the art of violin making in j France does not claim him as its an-: cestor. for the first French violin mak-J era of whom we have authentic record; and of whose work we possess genu-1 ine specimens learned their art in Italy j and copied from Brescian and Cremo-1 nese models. ! On the other hand, from the seed planted by Gaspar da Salo a great tree' has grown, and to him the world of! music owes an incalculable debt of; gratitude. j Caspar da Salo died at Brescia April 14. K;of, and was buried in the old church of San Giuseppe. j Unfortunately Da Salo's violins have, become exceedingly rare. Perhaps not more than a dozen are in existence.! The general characteristics of his in-! strunients are large pattern, large f f , holes, protruding corners and a" dark brown varnish. The tone is full and even. Among them perhaps the finest, and at any rate the best known, is the one known as the "treasury violin," the head of which was sculptured by Benvenuto Cellini. The last owner of this violin was the celebrated Norwegian violinist. Ole Hull. How it came into his possession may best be told in his own words: "Well, in IJsHO I gave sixteen concerts at Vienna, anil then Rhehazek was the great violin collector. I sawtit his house this violin for th tirst time. I went just wild over it. 'Will I you sell it?" I asked. 'Yes.' was the ! reply, 'for on-quarter of all Vienna.' : Now. Rnehazek was really as poor as a church nioos. Though he had no ; end of money put out in the most valuable instruments, he never sold any of i them unless forced by hunger. 1 invited Rheba7:ek to my concerts. 1 wanted to buy the violin so much that I mad him Fnnm tempting offers.

Originally the bridge was of boxwood, with two llshes carved on it that was the zodiacal sign of my birthday, February which was a Rood sign. Oh, the Rood times that violin and 1 have had! As to its history, Hhehazek told me that in lStW). when Innspruck was taken by the French, the soldiers sacked the town. This violin had been placed in the Innspruck museum by Cardinal Aldobrandi at the close of the sixteenth century. A French soldier looted it and sold it to Hhehazek for a trifle.

It Was Gambled Into Existence by the Lottery Route. The British museum, famed all over the world, was born of a lottery. It was in 1753 that the trustees of Sir Hans Sloane offered to the nation for iHO.ttoO the wonderful collection of coins, manuscripts, printed books and natural history curiosities. As an additional inducement to the state to provide house room it was pointed out that the Ilanieian collections of manuscripts could still be secured fer the nation on payment of I10.on and that the collection of Sir Robert Cotton, although nominally the property of the nation, was o carelessly housed that a large p:irt had already leeu detreed by hre. The government refused to find the casli. but declared its readiness, after the true British sporting manner, to iiliow the public to ganib'e the British museum info exisfenee.

Whether the word be "manner' or "manor,-' in th often used quotation, is a question frequently asked. That "to the manner born" is correct is evi dent from I ho eontcxt of the phrase, which oernrs in "Hamlet," net I, scene 4. While Hamlet and his friend", Horatio and Marcelhis. arc wailing on the platform outside of the palace for the possible appearance of the ghost of the dead king the noise of a flourish of trumppts and the roar of a cannon are heard.
