United States bonds owned by them, less
the interest accrued to the date of purchase,
and for the purpose of verifcation will be
required to specify said funds by loans and
dates of purchase. In making returns
thereof to this Office, no application
made in consequence of the opinion in
question to refund any of the tax upon
bank capital heretofore assessed and col
lected will be entertained by this Office"

A Bad Egg.

Adolph G. Zwanzig the notorious ex-
reporter who has been getting into hot
water of late on account of his many
crooked ways in the path of sin, comes to
the front again. The complaint this time
is made by Mr.. F. Tettenborn, dealer in
woodenware and the father of Miss Lima
Tettenborn, the famous German actress.
He claims that Zwanzig came to him few
days ago and introduced himself as the pro-
prietor and editor of the "Thespian," a new
dramatic paper.
Zwanzg wanted an advertisement for his
(D columns. He got it from his unsus-
pectng dupe and at the same time re-
ceived So as a collateral Zwanzig made his
exit, and of course no advertisement was
published for Mr.. Tettenborn.
A short time afterwards the real proprie-
tor of the Thespian came in, and he also
asked for an advertisement. At this point
Mr.. Tettenborn had his eyes opened, and
tumbled to the fact that he had been swim
died by Zwanzig. He therefore swore out
warrant for the arrest of Zwanzig4and had
him locked up in Bremen-street Station to-
day on charge of receiving money under
false pre'enses. Zwanzig is a bad egg.
Some time ago he made an application to
be put on the detective force, but now it
looks as if his prospects were nipped in the
bud,

HEARTS EASE.
TiltOn Thinks We Live Too Fast.

New YORK, Oct. 29.-Last evening Theo-
dore Tilton delivered lecture entitled
Hearts Ease to full house. The vague
title Of the effort is no index of the subjects
treated therein, which comprise political
and social topics, which, according to the
lecturer, combine TO produce what people
call Hard Times" He complained that
the Americans are too hasty and headlong
and that the theory that everything must
be done in twenty minutes was too widely
accepted. Arguing by analogy from the
cases of Brown the oarsman; Heenan, the
boxer, and Winship, the litter, who went to
early graves, he claimed that Americans in
their terrible business activity were rush
ing to death before their time. He ex-
planned how much depended ON ladies
making the homes of husbands, sons and
brothers, torn and exasperated with the
cares of business and dull times, happy and
cheerful.

INCIDENTS AT NEW ORLEANS
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29.-Two young men
from the West called on Sunday at the
office of the Board of Health for some let
ters of inquiry sent from relatives. They
stated that they had received letters from
home repeatedly but did not answer, be-
lieving that a reply would only inspire
false hopes, to be crushed by the speedy
announcement of their death. This belief
was inspired by the fact that of twenty
three companions who came with them to
this city twenty-one had died of black
vomit. Having nursed all of them, they
believed their own death was but ques-
ton of time, and the near termination of
the epidemic had induced them to hunt up
the letters and wait replies.
Monday morning an unfortunate woman
called at the office of the Board OF Health
to record the death of her husband. On
she had been there after a doctor,
believing it was one of the duties of the
Board to provide physicians in cases of ex-
treme want.
