Thk Spring Garden National bank at Philadelphia ha? closed its doors by order of National Bank Examiner Drew. The Penn Safe Deposit and Trust com pany, which has its oftU in the Spring Garden National building, also made an assignment. But little information as tt the bank's real condition could be ob tained. Its capital stock is S7.0,000, and by the February statement the reserve fund amounted to $130,000. Thn opinion among the depositor and stock holders seems to be that the bank's em barrassment is only temporary. The Penn Trust company which assigned was really a nart of the batik, but is said to be solvent, the assignment simply being for protection against a ruu. FOREST FIRES. The ICeglon Alwut Ashlaml. Wl.

Thayer Proceeds to GoveraT The Case Will Be Appealed. Another peaceful revolution has been accomplished in Nebraska,- and (2eh Johti M. Thayer, is agalH gorcrnbr of the ebrambhweaitii. The supreme court on. Monday afternoon handed 'down its opinion In the Thayer-Boyd qiio' war ranto base', granting tlic writ and enter ing a judgment of Ouster against Boyd.. As soon as' possible after the writ of ouster was prepared, Gov. Thayer filed the bond required with C. W. Moshcr, R. C. Outcalt ! and II. T. Oxford as surieties and took the oath of office be fore Chief Justice Cobb. The writ was then placed in the hand of Deputy Sheriff Hoxie, and that officer, with Gov. Thaybr and his attonieys and friends, .proceeded to tho executive office, 'W the wrjt was .served upon Gov. Boyd. The governor was not ex pecting such summary" proceedings, and was greatly surprised As soon as lie had read the writ lie said: . Gentlemen, I recognize the supremacy of the law arid dnl ready to turn" the office over to my successor, but 1 Would like an oppof-' tunity to consult with my attorneys. They are at the hotel and I havo sent for the'iri. Gov. Thayer's attorneys. Judge Mason, Judge Blair and Gen. Webster, said that J so far as they were concerned they were perfectly willing, but" the "execution of the writ lay with the officer. Deputy (Sheriff Hoxie eftid that there was bttt one thing for him to do, and that was to obey the order of the court, serve the writ and put Gov. Thayer iu possession of the office, which ho proceeded to do. Presently John D. Howe one of Gov. Boyd's attorneys, camo and applied.. to the supreme court for a stay of proceed ings pending the preparation of tho transcript and the bill of cxceptions.but this was denied. Gov. Thayer took formal possession of the office Adjt. Gen. Vifquain tendered his resig nation and ex-Adj.-Gen. Cole was rc-appointcd. Gov. Thayer has aiiuointcd his son, John M. Thayer, jr.. as private secretary and J. E. Ferris as executive clerk. The opinion of the court was rendered by Justice Norval. Chief Justice Cobb concurring, briefly as follows: 1. Slate o. rcl. Thayer vs. Hoyd, quo war ranto; judgment of ouster. The suprcmo court ha jurisdiction -to entertain proced inps by information in the nature of quo warranto, instituted for tho purpose of de termining the rights of the persons claim ing the oftire of governor. 2. Under the provision of section 2, article 4. of the constitution, u person Is not eligible to the office of governor who has not been citizen-of the United States and this state for at least two years next preceding the election at which said officer Is to lie chosen. 3. Where a plurality of votes arc cast for a person for a public oftVc who is ineligible the election is void. 4. Under the fourth section of the act of congress entitled '-An act to establish a uniform rule of ir.it tirallrat ion," approved April 14. 1602, the child of an alien under 21 years of age, although born in a foreign country, become a citizen by the naturaliz ation of his parents, if dwelling within tho United States at the time the parents are admitted to citizenship; but it does not have that effect if he is over 21 years old at the time the parent is naturalized. The or der of the court admitting an alien to citi zenship is a judicial act in the nature of a tndiriiieiit. and can be proved only by tho record. C. The fact that an alien has for many I years voted at elections held in the state and fdled important public offices does not ' establish that he is a citizen of the United States. 7. Whore an alien is naturalized under the naturalization laws his citizenship dates from the time tho order of the court is made admitting him to citizenship. 8. The alien inhabitants of the territory of Nebraska at time of its admission as a state did not become citizens of the United States by virtue of the acts of congress ad mitting the state into the union. 0. The words "citizens of the United States," as ued In section 2 of article 4 of the state constitution, are construed to mean a person who is an American citizen by birth or a person of foreign birth who has been duly naturalized under the pro visions of the uniform rule of naturaliza tion established by congress. 10. Under section 1 of article 5 of tho con stitution a person elected to the office of governor is entitled to discharge the duties and receive the emolument, of the office for the'tcrni of two years from the first Thurs day after the first Tuesday in January fol lowing his election and until a successor is duly elected and qualified. 11. When the persons receiving the high est numl)cr of votes for the office of gov ernor is ineligible under the constitution to be elected the governor holds over. 12. Tho duties of the chief executive office of the state devolves upon the lieutenant governor and in certain contingencies, among which are the failure of the governor elect to qualify and disability of the gov ernor. It cannot be said that there has been a failure to qualify where no person has been constitutionally elected to the office. 13. The words "other disabilities of the governor" appearing in section 1C. article 53, of the constitution have no reference to the Ineligibility of a person to be elected, but cover any disability of the governor not specifically enumerated in the section oc curring oftcr the commencement of. his term of office. 14. It Is held that when the non-election of a person to a public office Is ascertained by proceedings in quo warranto- the person entitled to hold over. must then requalify. Judge Maxwell filed a dissenting opin ion, taking the ground that Boyd was made a citizen by the enabling act, be ing a citizen of .the territory at the time of admission of the territory into the union. The case will be taken by Gov. Boyd to the supreme court of the Lnited States, but the court refused to grant him.a stay of proceedings. GOV. THAYER'S AXE. It Is of the Headsman's Variety, and Gets in Its Work. After reinstatement as governor, and whcn'he had appointed an adjutant general, a private secretary and an ex exceutivn clerk Gov. Thayer rested from his labors lor a short time. Late lie re turned to the office and proceeded to nndo matters. The following appoint ments were made by him, displacing Gov. Boyd's appointees, some of whom had only been in office a day or two: Rev. P. W. Howe, chaplain of the penitentiary, vice Father Corbitt. D. C. Crawford, janitor of the capital building, vice Adams. Dan Hopkins, warden of the peniten tiary, vice James P. Mallon. Dr. Fred G. Test, superintendent of the asylum for the incurable insane at Hastings, vice Dr. Johnson. J. W.

WashixgtOs, "ft C, May 4, 1891. J PorterMInlster, "Rome! A series of statements addressed to tho Marquis Imperlall by the Marqdk Hndln! was telegraphed from Home yesterday, and was published by tho press of tho United States Unday. Tho oaly part of the Marquis Rudinl's communication which this Gov ernment desires to notice Is the one hero quoted, namely, "I havo now before me a U3te addressed to you by Secretary Blaine, on April 14. ' It's perusal produces a most palrlfiil imprcs.Hm on me. I will not stop to lay stress upon tho lack of conformity with diplomatic tisrtges displayed in mak ing usei as -Mr. Maine did not -hesitate to do. of a portion of a telegram. Of mine com municated to him in strict confidence, in order to get rid of a question clearly defined In Our official documents, which alone pos sess a diplomatic value." Tho telegram of March 24. concerning whose public use the Marquis Rudlnl complains, is the following, which was quoted In full lii my note of Aorll 14 to Marquis Imperlall. Charge d"Affalres of Italy at this capital: Home. JHarcn -'4, iS'Ji Italian Minister. Washington: Our requests to tho Federal Government are very simple. Some Italian subjects ac niltted hv the American magistrates have been murdered in prison wlillo under the' immediate protection of the authorities. Our right, therefore to demand and obtain the punishment of the murderers and au Indemnity for the victims is'nnquestlonable. I wish to add that the public opinion in Italy Is' justly impatient, and If concrete provisions were not at once taken I should find myself In the painful necessity of show ing openly our dissatisfaction by recalling the minister of his majesty from a country Where he is unable to obtain justice. KlTIIIM. The Intimation of the Marquis Kudlnl that the telegram in question wa delivered in strict confidence Is a total error. As a telegram expressed the demand of the Italian -government- it was .impossible that Marqujs Kudinl .could; transmit it ln-strlct confidence. As I havo already stated, it was- communicated to me in person by Baron Fava, written in English by his own handwriting, without a suggestion of pri vacy, and tho "telegram Itself has not a single mark upon It denoting a confidential character. I havo caused a number of copies of tho telegram to be forwarded to you to-day in fac simile. The usual mark for italic printing was used by me under four lines, and they appear In the copies. You will use the -fac simile in such manner as will most effectually prove the error into which tho Marquis Rudlnl has fallen. Blaise. It was plain to thoe who saw Mr. Blaine that he was annoyed by the re mark of Rndini that he had failed to conform to diplomatic usages. The Premier also went so far as to accuse the American Secretary of disclosing a confidential dispatch in order to get around a question which tins Marquis intimates had puzzled him in the pre vious negotiations. The Secretary by this reply has once more placed the Ital ian Premier in an unfavorable Hsrht, and has spoiled his attempt to let himself down easy. This dispatch necessitates a reply from Kudini, and the opinion among Government officials is that it cannot add anything to the dignity of his' position or aid in maintaining tho Italian side of the controversy. Ilito the Kntl or Your Clear. Dr. Fertl "Wilson ami friend went into a Broadway cigar store the other day. The friend selected a dark Havana, put one end between his lips, rolled it a hit to moisten it, then put the tip in the metal cutter on the counter and clipped it off. He then placed the clipped' end in his month and drew iu onco or twice before lighting. He coughed several times as he lighted the weed. "Pardon me," said the doctor, "you shonld never do it that way. Here is the method." The doctor picked up another cigar, bit the end off with his teeth, placed the other end in his month, and blew smartly once or twice and then leisurely lighted it. "You notice," said the doctor, "I did not congh. You did. The philosophy of it is shis : when ihe end of a cigar is bitten off it crushes a small portion of the tobacco into powder. If you put the end immediately into your month and inhale, the small particles are almost certain to lodge somewhere in the throat and cause irritation. That makes you congh, and, if your tonsils happen to be in the right direc tion for it, a case of bronchitis or worse may compel yon to call me iu. I never Use" the clipper that is used by the frefinenters-of a cicar store. -The ma jority of. the men moisten the tip of a cigar, as you did, before cutting it. Now you never know the condition of theman who preceded you. Some 'of the moisture from his lips remains on the cntter, and your cigar may take on a portion of it. "Some years ago a young man camo to me with cancer of the lip. contract ed as near as I' could trace in the way I have described. He had had chapped lips at the time, and the poison got into his blood through a break in his skin. It was a particularly distressing affair. The young fellow was a per sonal friend of mine, and was engaged to be married. I knew his habits and conduct to be above reproach, but he was extremely sensitive. He broke off his engagement and went "West, al though his prospects here were excel lent. I could only commend iiis course, for disease had become fastened in his system. I pitied him from the bottom of my heart. So don't use the cigar clipper that others use." A'eie YorA: liecorder. The Old Way Heat. The old poem of the days of tho month, entitled "Thirty days hath September," has been changed in the New York public schools so that tho charm and beauty of its defects have vanished, and it" is now correct and commonplace. As it stood for a cen tury or more" it ran : Thirty days hath September, April. Jane and November. February has twentv-elght alone All the rest have thirty-one ; Excepting leap jerr, that's the time When February has twenty. nine. The version peculiar to New England would have done so far as correct rhym ing goes. That version ended with these lines - Except the second month alone Which Las but twenty-eight in fine, Till leap-year gives It twenty-nine. But the form in which it ia taught in the publkr schools is neither more cor rect nor as simple. This is the part that .has been subjected to modern im provement: " 'AU tho rBit havo thirty-one, , ' -Excepting February alone. Which has four and twenty-four, ' -' And every fourth year on day more. - Neve York Sun. THX OLD BEU4BIS Columbus State Bank fMiaataUtoBsAk lata Mat) sr FAYS IITUEST M HUE KNOTS.
