Bank Doors Closed. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The comptroller of the currency has ordered the First National bank of Flushing, Ohio, to close its doors. Bank Examiner J. W. Delay has been appointed temporary receiver. Dry rot is said to have caused the failure. Almost every day brings the news of the closing of a bank in some part of the United States. These are but the tremblings of Vesuvius before the eruption comes. However much apparent prosperity may be created by the disbursements of the late war, the demonetization of silver must work like the attraction of gravitation all over the world, drawing everything downward. You can no more get away from a great law of commerce than you can escape a great law of nature; there is an inevitableness about both. Here is another news item, one of thousands, showing the universal pull downwards: PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27.-Nathaniel Childs, press agent of the Way Down East company, which is playing in a local theater, died a suicide today in the Jefferson hospital. He had swallowed morphine, after which he shot himself in the head. The act was committed Tuesday last. but through the efforts of friends the affair was kept secret and Childs was taken to the hospital, where he lingered until to av. Le. spondency is given as the reason for the act. Childs was one of the best known men in the theatrical world. His home was in Poston. He graduated from Harvard in 1839, and the following year he entered the newspaper business. For several years he was editor of the Boston Traveler. He entered the theatrical profession in 1876, and wrote a number of plays. At one time he was advance agent for Henry Irving, and for ten years acted in the same capacity for Abbel, Schoeffel & Grau. The failure of the play, "Little Miss No. body," in December last, in which he was interested. made him despondent and he began to drink. He was about 50 years of age and leaves a widow. I. D.
