New YORK, March d, 1883.
Some day, perhaps, we shall have
bank directors who know enough
and are diligent enough to ferret
out error so quickly after it is COM
mitted as to discourage any wilful
attempts on it's funds. Another
clerk has been discovered to have
robbed that unhappy Jersey City
Bank, and is on his way to join the
late president, treasurer, and cashier
in State Prison. His simple plan
was to cash cheques ostensibly
drawn by persons who had ceased
to have accounts with the bank, but
whose names having been on
the books and thus familiar to his
superior whose duty it was to
check his work, would pass without
comment. By this pleasing device
in the course Of seven years he
managed to get away with $4,000.
Seven years labor ought to have
netted him more than that with
such chances, and any brainy fellow
could have got more honestly, but
perhaps the terrible dread of being
found out, which would worry most
men into their cofins, acts as a
pleasing excitement to a certain
class of thieves, something like
hunting grizzly bear with a lame
mustang and damp cartridges.
Lily Langtry has dropped among
US suddenly after 1,5OO mile
ride from Keokuk, in order ''to get
rest" The fact seems to be that
the lady who travels on her face
and shape (her reputation fed long
ago), finds that the daisies of
Hoosierdom and other wild Western
regions are generally preferred.
The novelty has worn off and peo-
pie don't care to see good plays
murdered by bad acting, and the
lacadaisical airs Of a fat Princes ex-
pet, and Gebby. though an assidious
monkey, is so stupid and quarrel
some that he has been an addition
al milestone to the fast fading
beauty.
Stokes, by the way, is now in
negotiation for the Madison Square
Garden property, and will probably
get it, He is heavily backed by
men with much money and faith In
his enterprise and honesty. Van
derbilt ought to be glad to sell it,
for it's possession has entailed plen-
ty of (mostly well-merited) abuse
that cannot have been pleasant
even to the thickest hided Of fools.
Circuses and shows innumerable,
holy and unholy reyiyals, walking
matches, prize fights, etc., including
Ofenbach, the high priest of too
suggestive melody, have all been
exploited there, and sundry persons
have been precipitated out Of ex-
istence by it's falling walls, the
parsimony of the proprietor and the
ineficieney of the Building Depart
ment. Stokes may not improve its
morals, but his buildings will un-
doubtedly be ornamental. He has
introduced a new method Of utiliz.
ing reformed prizefghters as guar.
dians of the peace in his elegant
gin-mill, where a too exuberant i'm
biber might by firing glass at
some of the pictures of nude
nymphs or super fixtures of other
kinds destroy t. sands of dollars
worth of art triumphs.
