Mention was recently made--and it was
not very honorable mention-of a wealthy
| New York bank which had kept its paying
teller on the pitiful salary of $500. The
wretched man was led to steal the banks
money. Now there Is worse case from
Brooklyn. The Bnshwick Savings Bank in
that city saved on its teller by paying the
poor feilsw at the rate of six hundred dollars
| 9 year, he being man Of forty years of age,
with family to support. OF course he stole.
He began stealing few weeks after he en-
tered the bank and continued his course un-
I'll day or two ago, when he was caught at
IL. The stealings Of this man amounted 10
only $4,000, but lie did the best he could and
would have done more had opportunity Of
fered. Like all tellefs who steal, this un-
happy appropriation was very steady man
and Of unbiemished reputation, as far as
/ known. The Bushwiek Savings concern is
| neither as large nor as wealthy as the bank
which was robbed in New York. But, large
or small, any bank which makes the least
pretenslons 10 respeciability ought to pay
more than six hundred dollars year to the
man who has the custody of its funds. This
shabby and pelurious way Of doing business
Is simply setting premium on stealage.-
