' {Zimrh the Mighty? Hustler.
Zimri Dwiggins is the name of a
financial comet that was first observed
in the Ohio monetary firmament, then
passed westward and for sometime 312-
zled brightly over Chicago. Zimri first
saw the light of day and the gleam of
dollars. in Attica, Ohio, and was the
son of poor and honest parents. Like
all great Ohioans little Zimri walked
daily seven miles to the log school
house where he must have been always
at the head of the arithmetic class. He
was moreover, avoracious reader and
fond of the biographies of famous
men, notably those of John Law and
Captain Kidd. Zimri began business
in Ohio, but that state was too slow for
him and like all men with balloon
heads he sought Chicago as naturally
as Natuie’ s Prohibitionists. the ducks,
seek water. Here our hero engaged in
business, and some viperous tongued
gossips are mean enough to say that he
kept a “bucket shop.’ Just what a
“ bucket shop ” 15 we do not know, but
we fear for Zimri’ s sake, that it is a
place where beer is sold by the bucket
instead of by the tomato can. Zimri,
however, was uneasy; he felt that he
was an eagle and nota grasshopper,
and he longed to fly around with Chi-
cago’ s big financial birds, but he soon-
found out that it took cash to do much
flying :11 Chicago. Those early arith-
metic lessons that Zimri had learned 1n
Ohio soon enabled him to figure out a
scheme that took like a free lunch with
the jays: he posed as a philanthropist
and he promised big interest, a com-
bination that is always fatally alluring
to the rural mind. The trust idea was
brought into play; there was to bea
group of “federated banks,” the chief
bank Zimri’ s own, in Chicago, and as
he unfolded the scheme to the jays of
Hoosierdom and Suckerdom, the Chi-
cago bank was to be a fountam in the
desert sending forth streams wherewith
to Water, financially speaking the dry
and dusty ne .gh 1,. orhcods This was
the philanthropic side of the scheme,
and the “federation” idea with its un-
usual opportunities for mutual aid and
combined investment promised big
dividends.
that the Chicago fountain didn’t work
as Zimri promised it would, but that
instead, Zimri’s bank had drained J ay-
ville and the other places which en-
joyed the advantages of the “ feder-
ated banks” of all their cash. Here
was where Zimri’ s greatness came in,
and we see what Ohio’s born genius
can do where supplemented by a Chi-
cago education. Zimri’ s plan was this ,
he first organized a National bank in
Chicago, and then with some of the
bank’s money in his pocket he found a
place that wanted a bank or additional
banking facilities. A bank was organ-
ized, Zimri supplying some money and
local capitalists the rest. Whatever
cash Zimri turned in he managed to
have remitted to Chicago to the “ foun-
tain ” bank. so that his line of deposits
showed up well. This scheme worked
well for a while, but as the Chicago
bank soon had quite a collection of
stock certificates on hand, and as the
National bank examiners are an ,in-
quisitive set and given to asking ques-
tions that are embarrassing to “ talent-
ed and progressive” bankers, Zimri
knew that those stock certificates must
be gotten under cover. Those early
ar1thmet1c' lessons again helped Zimri
over the hé’tfie. r61“ hero walked out
one fine bracing day and catching hold
of a gale that had just come in from
Galena he worked it up into a Trust
Company. This last corporation took
Zimri’s stock certificates and issued 8
per cent. debentures with the stock cer-
tificates as collateral, and proceeded to
sell the debentures to “goslings” in
the East, for it is awell known fact
that men who will lay awake nights for
fear the local saving banks may go up,
will unhesitatingly buy trash of such
fellows as Dwiggins if he only makes
the rate of interest big enough. But
there came an end to Zimri’s “ kiting ”
operations, as there must to all enter-
prises insufiicicntly capitalized, and
now the “jays,” the “goslings,” and
others who thought Zimri was a great
man have changed their opinion, but it
has been expensive.
. This instance should teach people to
keep their money at home, and be con-
tent with reasonable returns. The days
of large interest have gone by forever,
and any enterprise that promises over
5 or 6 per cent. is risky. and if‘you
have money to invest there are men
here in town who can, do it as well and
as safely as Mr. Zimri Dwiggins, but
they will not promise you any such
large returns. And yet, notwithstand-
ing this Dwiggins episode. there are
thousands of dollars which will get 1a-
to the hands of men like Dwiggins, be-
cause people are not content with the
prevailing rates.

CRAIG FOR MODERATOR. "

, crrosntc A SUNDAY, 11111111511 rm.
I'mlssloners Are Called“ Upon to Assert
Their Authority.
WASHINGTON, May 19. —-Washington, for
the second time' in its history and the first
time in forty-one cars, is entertaining the
general assemb of the Presbyterian
church of the United States. There was
a. large crowd of spectators present yester-
day, among them Mrs. Cleveland, when
Rev. Dr. Young, the moderator, callcd the?
assembly to order.
The chorus from The Messiah was fol-
lowed by the doxology and prayer by Rev.
W. H. Roberts, stated clerk. The hymn,
"All People that on Earth Do Dwell" was
then sung by the entire congregation. Rev.
Herrick Johnson read a portion of scrip-
ture, and Rev. Joseph T. Smith led the as-
semblage in prayer.
An anthem from the oratorio‘ of “Elijah”
was rendered by the choir; and then the
annual sermon was delivered by Modera-
tor Ycung, who took for the title of his
discourse “The Glory of the Christian
Church.” ' .
In the course of his address Dr. Young
said: “N o apprehension should .be felt as
to the safety of the Bible. No possible
harm can befall it. Here to doubt' is dis-
loyalty to God, to fear is to sin. It courts
the most searching investigation. It wel-
comes the sharpest criticism.’ From the
flaming ordeal through which it is now
passing it will come forth. as it has from
. all other fiery tests, in its full integrity,
Without so much as the smell of fire about
it. And when the very names of those
radical foreign rationalistic critics who are
seeking to destroy its historical truthful-
ness, its perfect infallibility, with their
widely heralded productions shall have
been buried in a common oblivion, the,
Bible, the whole Bible, history, biography,
prophecy and doctrine, shall by increasing
millions of believers continue to be re-
ceived, read and prized above all earthly
possessions as the v ery word of almighty
God.”
Twice in the course of the delivery of
this was Dr. Young interrupted by ap-
plause from the commissioners who in-
dorsed the views thus eloquently expressed.
At the conclusion of Dr. Young’s address
and prayer the assembly took a recess.
At the afternoon session,after the formal
opening, the election of a. moderator was
entered into. The nominees were Rev.
Charles A. Dickey, of Philadelphia; Rev.
George A. Baker, Philadelphia; Rev. Wil-
lis G. Craig, of Chicago; Rev. Calvin W.
Stewart, of \Vhitworth college, “rushing-
ton.
Rev. Dr. Dickey, in a. feeling speech,
withdrew his name.
Dr. Stewart also withdrew his name, and
the assembly proceeded to vote for mod
erator, with Drs. Baker and Craig the only
candidates. The result of the ballot was
announced as follows: Craig, 324; Baker,
198; total, 522.
The announcement was received with
slight applause, and then the election was
made unanimous. ‘
Dr. Harsha and Mr. McDongall were ap-
pointed by the' moderator to escort Dr.
Craig into the room, and his entrance was
the signal for vigorous hand clapping. 'He
was introduced to the retiring moderator
by Dr. Harsha. who received and presented
him to the general assembly.
Dr. Young spoke of the unusual pleas-
ure it gave him to welcome Dr. Craig,
born in the same town as himself and
fellow graduates of the same seminary.
He invoked God’s blessing upon the labors
of his successor and commended him to the
good graces and kindly forbearance of the
assembly.
Dr. Craig responded 1n a few words. ex-
pressing the personal gatificat 1011 he had
felt last year in Dr. Young's election and
complimenting him upon the fidelity and
success with which he had followed in the
footsteps of his illustrious father, Dr.
John Clark Young. He said he had no
idea that, endeavor as he might, he could
equal his predecessor. as a presiding officer;
and for his work in that position, in behalf .
of the assembly, he extended thanks to
Dr. Young. To the assembly Dr. Craig
returned profound thanks for the confi-
dence reposed in him.
Dr. Bartlett, pastor of. the church, was
introduced and made the, address of wal-
come.
Mr. J. T. Foster, of Newark, N. J ., pre—'
sented the following resolution,which was
unanimously 'adopted by a rising vote,with
a. subsequent understanding that it should
be amended or made more comprehensive:
“Resolved, That this assembly protests
in behalf of the Christian and law abiding
sentiment of the nation against the open-
ing of the Columbian'exposition at Chicago
on the Lord’s day. We appeal to the na-
tional commissioners to assert their right-
ful authority to prevent the local directory
from opening the exposition on that day,
and we respectfully invoke the co—opera-
tion of the national executive in the en-
forcement of all laws designed or calcu--
lated to secure that end. *
“Resolved, That a copy of this resolu-
tion be communicated to the president of
the United S mes and to Hon. T. W.
Palmer, pr esiuent cf the World’s fair
commission. ”
The assembly then adjourned until to-
day.

Historical Names of Kings.
Some of the early kings of France
ruled over Germany at one time when
there was no division, but when there
was a. separate German nation the rulers
gained many curious titles. “Fat” was
one and “Blind” another. Also the
“Child,” the “Fowler.” Then “Blood,”
“Red,” “Black,” “Superb” and “Sharp,"
while one king is particularly described
as the “Holy and Lame.”
The rulers of the provinces that now
make up Spain had a number of kings
called Great and Catholic. Then they
also had the Monk and Gouty and in-
cluded others who were infirm—Bad,
Noble, Strong, Valiant, Gracious, Sick-
ly, Impotent, Beneficent and Ceremoni-
ous.- Ferdinand III of Leon and Castile
was the Saint and Holy.
Hungary has her rulers described as
Saint, German, Thunder,Vcnetian, Great
and a. King Mary who was probably the
only woman who held alike title. Over
Portugal reigned the Fat, Idle, African
and Great and Perfect.
The people of Russia have generally
had a. hard time of it. We realize this
today, and the names given to their
kings show the reason therefor. None
was good, wise or just, though there
was Peter the Great, who did all he
could to help his country. ‘But how
could a nation progress with rulers who
gained the title of Terrible, Impostor,
Proud,'Lightfoot, Grim, Fierce andLion?
