FORNEY rs Il FINANCIER,

Col. Forney was supremely and curl
onsly Indifferent in money matters.
One instance that strongly illustrates
this trait has caused many hearty
laugh among his acquaintance. De-
spite the advice of many friends, among
them Pierce Butler, the husband of
Fanny Kemble, he determined to invest
a large sum OF money in new enter
p-ise-a rice-cleaning machine, or some
thing of that sort. He felt financially
able to do this by reason of having made
q sale of some Lake Superior property.
He filed out check on the Girard Bank
for & very large amount, and intrusted it
to q friend for collection. When the
piece OF paper was presented to
the paying teller, that official
first scratched his chin and then
went to see tie President of
the bank, who at that time was Mr..
Boxer, father of the Hon. George FL.
Boxer. Mr.. Boxer came forward smil-
ingly and said that while Col. Forney
had quite large sum of money on de-
post in the bank the amount to his
credit was not equal to that called for
by the check, but still if Col. Forney
would step down to the bank himself
the check would be honored. The
friend returned to the Press Office in an
indignant frame of mind and told Col.
Forney that he had made him the bearer
of check that had been dishonored, for
the reason that there was not sufficient
funds in the bank.
"Some mistake, sir !; some mistake"
replied the big-hearted editor. st have
much more than that on deposit in the
- Bank" and he uttered the name
of familiar depository other than the
Girard.
But did not go there" replied the
friend in amazement. "The check is
drawn on the Girard Bank"
"My! my!" said Col. Forney, "did
make such silly mistake? Why, I
have not penny IN the Girard Bank. I
did not intend to send there"
con, yes, you have large deposit in
the Girard Bank" answered the friend,
"but it was not sufficient to cover the
check"
ga mistake, sir; mistake" replied
the Colonel. 81 have not a penny
there" A visit was made to the Girard
Bank, however, and Col. Forney found
to his amazement that ho vas much
richer than he thought. In the same
way when the Longacres' Bank in Lam
caster failed, Col Forney found that he
had longtime deposit there that he
had known nothing OF. It Was this in
difference in money matters that ex-
emplified probably as well as any other
trait the lavish disposition of the man
lavish not only with his wealth, but with
the more precious treasures of his
heart.-PhilGdeLaohio Press.

The Uater Commission,

A special session of the board of water
commissioners was held in the Office of
Superintendent Henion last evening.
Present: Mayor Ames, Commissioners
Davis and Grimshsw, Superintendent Hen
ion and Engineer Waters. The committees
on WAYS and means and on water works
from the city council met with the board
for the purpose of arriving at an estimate
of the means the board would require to
complete contemplated extensions and
improvements in the system. Commits
sioner Grimshaw, from the committee on
extensions, explained that the board was
in need of $4,000 from the $280,000
provided in order to complete
the improvement already under way. The
amount includes the expense of the east
side water works pumping station. 1t will
cost $4,000 to remove the pump to the
east side station and place the building in
proper condition. Superintendent Henion
reported that despite the fact that the
pumping capacity has been greatly in
creased, it was all now required to supply
the 100000 gallons per day which is the
average amount pumped. He also ex-
planned that during the present year the
water tax collections were three times
larger than last year. In view of this fact
the mayor stated that water rents
would more than pay the interest and
eventually reimburse the city for the ex-
penditure. and become a source of actual
revenue besides fire protection. Aid.
Watt was in favor of issuing bonds for the
amount needed for the work. At the sug-
gestion of Aid. Andrews $4,000 was added
to the total amount to provide for the pur-
chase of site for the east side pumping
station. The board voted to report to the
council in accordance with the above.
