New York, May 23.—The announce
ment was made this morning by Sam
uel Untermeyer, counsel for Jacob L.
Phillips, president of the Merchants'
Trust Co., following the meeting of
the directors, that the company had
decided to close its doors. The State

, Sartorial. Excesses. ....
A magazine writer, who says that
he has carefully gathered his facts
from dressmakers, milliners and all
other sources within reach, estimates
that <5.000 women of New York spend
fully $40,000,000, or on an averago of
$6,000 each on their wardrobes an
nually. That Is to say, less than 1
per cent of the women of New York
squander on their clothes a sum
greater thnn Is devoted to the vast
school system of the metro pollsjrad
nearly 40 per cent of the entire mu
nicipal budget. "In Republican
America, whose old Ideal was one of
r ~.simplicity of life, wo are rivaling the
sartorial excesses of Neronic Romo."

*3,000,000 FOR VENICE CHURCH.
Remarkable Will of Italia* Prince
Was Made In 1403.
In 1403 the Italian Prince Glovanelli
made a will leaving his fortune to bis
direct descendants, and in case of the
extinction of the principal line, to the
offspring of the younger branch.
There was added, however, a codicil,
which was only to be opened on tbo
extinction of the direct branch. This
event occurred a few days ago, and
on opening tha codicil it was found
that the fortune was left to the Church
of 8t. Mark in Venice This bequest,
which by this time amounts to ovor
$6,000,000, Is now being disputed by a
postal official of Naples named GJo-
vanelll.
Wives of Russian Priests.
A white Russian priest must be
married, but be cannot marry a sec
ond time. If his wife dies be must
enter a monastery. Hence the Rus
sians tell many stories of the extra
ordinary means to which the priests
resort In guarding the health of their
wives. If the priest's consort sneezes,
a mild panic ensues in the household.

People often make the excuse that
they have bad memories when the
truth is they are too slovenly to use
their brains. Nothing, however in
significant should be done without re
flection. First thoughts are often
best, but It Is sometimes not until we
have thought many times that we can
make them so.
