KANSAS CITY BANK CLOSES FOB THE :SBGOND TIME.

Couldn't Stand tho Heavy Withdrawal of Deposits Yesterday Mornlag.

Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 30.—The Missouri National Bank closed its doors this morning, owing to heavy withdrawals of some of Its principal depositors. The deposits are $1,500,000, but a statement of the bank's assets and liabilities is not yet obtainable. The bank was classed as one of the strongest in the Southwest.

Shortly after 11 o'clock the following notice was placed on the door: "By order o* the directors this bank has been closed and is in the bands of the comptroller."

This action was precipitated by the Withdrawal of $50,000 in one lump by Helm, the wealthy brewer, whose action was quickly followed by others. The last statement iBaued by the bank showed deposits of $1,561,000 and cash exchanges amounting to $546,000. Its officials are D. V. Rieger, president, and D. R. Cowlington, cashier. In the panic of July, 1893, the Missouri

Tyler. Tex., Nov. 30.—The First National Bank suspended this morning. The following notice was posted on the door: "Owing to the continued withdrawal of deposits and our inability to realize on assets, the directors deem it to the best interest of all to suspend payment. All depositors will be paid in full. "H. H. Rawland, President."

The bank had a capital stock of |200,000 and $40,000 surplus, acccording to the last sworn statement. It is the opinion of the officers that tho bank will bo speedily organized.

THE SMART WOMAN.

She Is Up to Date and Up to Snaff, Say* a Critic. The word "6mart" used in connection with society has come to mean the possession of such a variety of characteristics that it is interesting to read a pen porrait of the "smart woman" as given in Madame, which is something of an authority in the country whence the word comes. "There is no v^y perceptible outward and visib^p sign about the smart woman, except the general impression which she diffuses of being well groomed without and within. Actual beauty does not enter into debate. She is up to date and up to snuff, and that is just what society loves and cherishes in its. bosom. Her toilets, however simple, are irrreproachable as to

The bank opened for business at the usual the echo of her own ambitions.

These deposits, according to pectations she will drop it like a roasted Cashier Cowlington, will be paid back, probably in a few days. The bank had between 2,200 and 2,300 depositors, most of them for small amounts, and there are probably 120 stockholders of the concern.

That the failure cannot involve, *feven indirectly, arfy member of the Kansas City Clearing House Association is the concensus of opinion among all the clearing housa members and an opinion that is expressed in no uncertain terms. At no time, it is claimed, has the cash reserve been held in all banks at such a high percentage of demand deposits. From the twenty-four hour reports on currency made by the cashiers of the various banks it would appear that since the election, as the direct result of the uneasiness felt in regard to the effect of the national election on monetary legislation, most of the local banks called in loans and hoarded up cash in their vaults until from 45 to 65 per cent, of all deposits wera held in cash in their vaults.

THE QUEEN'S WILL.

NEW DISTRIBUTION OF Hll FKOJPJKKTY NKCS^ARX,

As a matter of fact the handling of wounded on ships of war is a subject which which have amounted on an average to is engrossing the attention of the naval authorities of the world. In vletf of this fact Surgeon General Tryon's idea is of tiie greatest importance. The vessels to be utilized for this service must be swift steamers of fairly good capacity, so far as room for the sick is concerned, and yet not of too large size to prevent quick' turning and rapid darting around and among a fleet of vessels.

The chief necessity for an ambulance ship lies in the fact that it promotes celerity in handling the wounded. That is practically the sum total of tlie value of the service. The modern warship, so long as it remains above water, has fair ftcccommodations for such members of its crew as may Teeelve injuries during conflict.

Circumstances, however, rentier It "absolutely impossible, even with a 'careftilly trained medical corps, to render prompt aid. The treatment of the crew of the naval ambulance would be precisely" that accorded the Red Cross brigade. It is'an -unwritten

Chicago, Nov. 30.—The Times-Herald's New York special says: A grave afotfperplexing question now confronts theCjuaen of Great Britain ajid Ireland and Boypress of India. The venerable Victoria is about to make a new will. During the nearly three score years that she has occupied the throne she has been enabled to amass, jsuch an enormous fortune that the ne^rsa contained in the cable dispatches sent to' this country to the effect that she conte'mplated making new bequests and changing old ones, is calculated to excite anew the interest in the parchment felt on this side of the Atlantic, since it is known that no Inconsiderable portion of her majesty's wealth is invested in the United States.

The will now in existence was made more than a quarter of a century ago.' Since then the numerous births and deaths that have taken place in the royal family have rendered necessary the addition of such a largo number of codicils and alterations to the original document that but little of the latter remains. With the object, therefore, of simplifying her majesty's dispositions, an entirely new will is about to be made.

Queen Victoria enjoys the distinction of being the first English sovereign who has ever had anything to leave. All of her predecessors upon the throne bequeathed to their successors nothing but debts, which parliament was called upon to pay. While the queen permitted the nation thus to settle the liabilities of her uncles, King George IV and King William IV, she made a point immediately after her succession to pay off In full the very large debts contracted by her father, the Duke of Kent, who had died while she was in the earliest infancy. This, the portioning of her daughters, as well as some of her granddaughters, who have in each case received from her a dowry of $500,000 on marrying, and the settlement on one occasion of some very pressing liabilities of the Prince of Wales, have constituted the only very heavy expenses which the queen has been called on to meet since she ascended the throne in 1837.

Tlie Queen's Income. t»-

From that time forth until the present day she has been in receipt of a civil list amounting to close upon $3,000,000. Of this the major portion is assigned to definite heads of royal expenditure. But $300,800 per annum is devoted to what is called the queen's privy purse and constitutes her pocket money, of which no account is ever asked. Besides -this she has at her disposal the net revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster,

$300,000 a year more. From this it will be seen that, after hav-

itself when added up represents a minimum of $36,000,000, and when it is remembered that the queen's savings have been most

A?'the queen's husband he had practically^no expenses of any kind to meet, sinco they were all defrayed, like those of her majesty, out of the assigned portions of the civil list, ]and was

and it was known that he was able to set aside and Invest at least $100,000 a year throughout his married life. This amount nets $2,300,000.

Tho major portion of this was most judiciously invested in land at South Kensington, which was at that time little else than waste ground, but which is today covered with the most costly and luxurious mansions in London, and is worth far moVe for the square foot than it was forty years ago

for the acre. The fortune bequeathed by the that Fltzstoiraons desires to fight to a finish. prince consort to his widow is estimated to have attained at the present day the minimum value of $25,000,000.

Finally, it must be taken into consideration that several bequests have been made to the queen by rich people who were either without relatives or else whose feelings of loyalty were superior to their sentiments of regard for their kinsfolk. One man alone left her majesty a fortune of $4,000,000, which, at compound interest, has already more than doubled itself. So that it is estimated that the queen has at her disposal £35,000,000, or about $175,000,000, which will be distributed among her progeny.

Sotne of the large manufacturers are insisting that before they sign a scale they want to be assured that a tariff bill will be passed by congress that will keep out foreign window glass and thus prevent the market from being overstocked. Th6y say that they are willing to start their factories under the old scale of wages and run until the end of the fiscal year, which is the last of June. If a proper tariff bill is passed, they will be trilling to sign the Aew scale. 1 wrgitnkzo ft'or a V«xr.

The delegates went into session this afternoon. It is understood that every manufacturer of window glass is represented at this meeting. One of the representatives said th&t the object was not to regulate wages. However, he said that under the wage agreement, if the Dingley or some other bill that puts a higher tariff on window glass is passed by congress, tihe workmen will get an Increase according to the per cent, of increase of tariff. If there is no increase in tariff there itrill be no inorease of wages. yli

Another delegate said that the old association or trust was formed for a year, and that year expired In October. Nothing had been attempted pending the election. This meeting, he said, was for the purpose of forming the organization for another year. Unless this 1b done, he said, the window glass makers could not expect to make any money, and he felt certain that the object of the mfeeting would be accomplished. Nearly all the Indiana glass makers, he said, are ready to join the association in spite of the reports to the contrary. He thought that the price of glass would be increased as a result of this meeting.

Heretofore Governor Williams and Governor Matthews have had the reputation of being "farmer governors," but in reality Governor Mount is the only farmer of them all.

Sailing VeS^Jl Record Across the Atlantic Smashed. A11 recent sailing records across the Western ocean have been smashed by the remarkable run made by the four-masted schooner Augustus Fakner, from Philadelphia to Limerick, Ireland, a distance of over 3,000 miles, whicb was completed in fifteen days, says a Philadelphia exchange. Old times were revived for many hours on the floor of the Mariikae Exchange the other evening, where a number of salts congregated and were by this news taken back to the days when the stars and stripes held sway on the Atlantic. It was then and not since until this one that any such records were made.

For a fore and aft rigged vessel in these times to attempt to oompete with foreign craft in the European trade is most unusual, but high freights led the owners of this vessel to charter for a voyage across, and she was "fixed" to load oil at 2s 9d. a barrel. In command of Captain E. E. Haskell, she

It is a frame dwelling and has many spacious rooms,, more, in fact, than are really needed by the family, but, as tey are noted for hospitality, they have many visitors, and this was so long before Mr. Mount became prominent in politics.

Only a few yards back of this new house stands the old house, in which James A. Mount was born. It is still in good condition, having lately received some needed repairing, and will be kept serviceable as long as possible. Around it is the old orchard, the meadow and the deep tangled wildwood, and even the old well is there which the governor in his infancy kne^\ A quarter of a mile to the north, just beyond a beautiful grove, is old Salem Church.

of what can be done by any of the British "tramps" engaged in general commerce. "It has been many years since such a trip has been made," said one old time skipper, "and it sfaows that such of our American sailors as are yet afloat are of the genuine article." The particulars of this unusual run have, of course, not yet been- received, but when told will be of genuine interest to shipping men. She muBt have pressed forward on her eastern trip under full sail, and has no doubt stood well to the northward. .. »..

Vessels that left here as much as two weeks ahead of the Palmer have not reach their destination. The German bark Anna, Captain Brockhaus, which left here October 5th, for Dunkirk, over a month before the Palmer put off on her voyage to Limerick, has just reached her destination. This contrasted with the run made by the Yankee schooner will go far to showing what a tremendous rate of speed was kept up by this craft on her entire run across the ocean.

The Augustus Palmer is one of the finest schooncrs ever built in this country. She was launched in ^Bath, Me., in September, 1894, and is owned at that port by N. T. Palmer, who controls quite a fleet of such craft. Her dimensions are: Length 208 feet, beam 39% feet, depth of hold 19 feet, and register tonnage 1,237. Until her charter to load oil here she had been engaged in the St. Lawrence coal trade during the last two seasons.

Captain E. E. Haskell, the master of ths Palmer, is a typical Yankee and resides in Bath. He is well known about the Atlantic coast, having traded in the general coastwise business for many years.

Base Uttlt Among Indians.

For some time the Indians of Red River and Eagle counties, Choctaw Nation, havo •been playing match games of ball, and tho rivalry between them became so intense that bad blood was engendered. Last Thursday at Goqjjwater the antagonism between the two counties culminate'l in a genral fight, in which the butt end af their bats was freely used and men were knocked down all over the ball ground, twenty or thirty being more or less injured. "Will Goings had his skull crushed and died in a short time. Eastman Battiste received injuries from which he'afterward died. John Bil'y was seriously injured. Sheriff Huston of Eagle county WRS so badly injured that it is said that he cannot possbily recover. No arrests will follow, as the Indians have no law to punish a man for k.lling another in a ball game. No firearms or knives were used.

In a few years I exchanged the Elwood farm for a piece of land near my home place, which I still own, making my farm now 503 acres.''

Referring to Tils political life, the governor said: "I never was a candidate for any office before coming out for governor last spring." A few years ago I was nominated for state senator against my protest and I was elected. In 1890 I was nominated for congress without my consent and made the best race I could. Last spriag my friends said it was my year to run for governor, and I entered the race." la regard to the policy of bis administration, the governor said it would be one of conservatism, and be had no plan of procedure except to do his duty as set forth In the constitution.
