Let no Democrat talk OF a candi-

1t comes with very poor grace from
any one man TO assume to question

tie majority of his party say by their
vote ,aat he is the man they want in
that position. Come out openly and
show YOUR colors. but do not. for

dark insinuations of a candidates
character and then express deter
n'inatlon to support him. however,

Tempted by Sharpcrs.

at is great wonder to me that the
number of defalcatiOns by troasurers of
corporations is not larger than it is"
observed treasurer of one of the coun-
ties of Maryland to q Baltimore Aneri-
ca" reporter, while speaking of the
recent failures.
"Why?"
Because they have so many tempta-
tons. When l first took hold of the
treasurership of our county | was liter
ally beseiged with letters, circulars, and
confidential communication from New
York banking firms of doubtful notori-
ETY.. They came in every mail. They
were marked private personal, and
all that sort of thing They proved to
neon paper OF course how | could
easily double all investments. They
showed that by putting my money up
l was absolutely certain to win, and
that 1t was an impossbility for me TO
lose These communications were full
OF the most plausible methods. The
plans were captivating. The results
they worked out were astoundinglv biz
and there was an air of frankness
about them which would ordinarily dis
abuse the unsophisticated mind of any
suspicion Of crookedness. For nearly
two years these things kept coming to
my Office, but as | did not bite at the
hook they gradually fell off, and now |
get very few Of them. But do know
this to be the whenever q new
man is put in place where he has
other peoples money to handle, these
sharpers in the big cities get after him
with their circulars, and when they
once get hold of him they don't let 90
until they have made him q thief or
bankrupt, or both. That is why | am
surprised that the number of defalca-
tons is not larger"

A Right Smart Bull-Pup.

Two dog fanciers were discussing the
respective merits of their brutes, when
one of them said:
"Bull-pups is no good; yer can't learn
'em nuthin'."
"Taint So I've got a bull-pup that'll
fetch an carry anything. Wy, I've got
i'm SO he'll carry off a chunk Nv raw
beef an bring it back agin. "
"Betcher he won't"
The money was put up the dog was
called, and the meat given him.
Now, Tige," said the owner, "take
it outdoors, that's good doggy, an
when | calls yer come in agin, an show
the gentleman wot yer can do.
The dog went out with the meat in
his mouth, and presently his owner
called, "Tige, Tige; here, Tige," and
he came back wagging his tail and
licking his chops.
Gimme them stakesm shouted the
other fellow; II tole yer yer couldn't
learn bull pup nuthin'. He hain't
brung it back. "
go slow, mister. | reckon II take
them cases myself. didn't say how
the pup'd fetch that meat back, did I?'

A Dumb Druggist.

A few minutes after midnight on
Sunday morning Celestial operative
at a tub and wringer called at a drug
gist's store in South Boston. AS he
opened the door his Mongolian face
wore an appearance of deep meditation,
which soon gave way to the placating
smile which every son of China can
assume when occasion requires. "Me
wantee-a-me forgottee name-a-'
you knowee-iiifty-two." And think
ing his explanation perfectly clear and
satisfactory, his smile opened into a
broad grin.
"Flifty-two?" queried the druggists
clerk. What in the name of the big
Chinese idol is that?n "Flifty-two!"
again, with emphasis, quoth the man
of Mongolian extraction. "Flifty-tw o!
| Clio you! You slice metz
1t was no use. The ERIK was knocked
out in less than the usual number Of
rounds. He was speeches.. X clallr'
cried he of the indigo blue blouse and
soles of wood.
Yes, know you call" said the ris-
ing pharmacist, running his bony fin
gers despairingly through his greasy
hair. "And glo you!" continued the
Asiatic. "Flifty-two! flifty-two!" and
he attempted to make some cabalistic
figures on the wrapping paper.
You've got me dead" cried the
compounder Of prescriptions, dropping
into chair. 81 Clio blind!" yelled the
Chinaman thoroughly aroused. Then
looking in the direction of the cold,
sheet-iron stove, which was taking q
vacation preparatory to service in
colder season, he rushed madly toward
it and seized poker. Fearing that
something dreadful was about to hap
pen, the drug clerk jumped 10 his feet,
and, with eyes starting from their
sockets, cried loudly:
Here! Drop that poker-quickm
"Ah!" exclaimed the Chinaman, let
ting fall from his hand the crooked
iron rod, and smiling the happiest of
smiles, "Ah! Picker! Me forgettee
the name. Ploker-flifty-two."
"Oh, know now," said the clerk,
scowling at himself for his dullness.
"Why couldn't you have said playing
cards in the first place? Who's going
to know what you mean by picker
and 'glo you, and 'slee YOU and all
that? You can't expect Americans to
understand about Chinese games, can
you? These are playing cards, Cards
see? C-a-r-d-sn' "Clards?" repeat
ed the Chinaman, with another broad
grin, as he paid for the package and
broke the seal "Clards-I Clio you
difty-two better"

Incidents at Fire in Constantinople.

We saw a young woman brought out
of burning house with q copper ket-
tie in her hand. She was screaming
wildly, MY baby! On, my baby!7
The woman had been engaged in the
kitchen, with her infant ia her arms,
and had been busily occupied saving
her cooking utensils by throwing them
into the cistern, quite unconscious that
her dwelling was already on fire. The
fremen, having discovered her in that
perilous place, had rushed into the
kitchen and forced her to hasten out.
On her way she had espied copper
kettle, and had instinctiyely seized it;
but in her fright and bewilderment,
she had thrown her baby into the els
tern instead of the kettle. Fortunately,
a sturdy fellow succeeded in rescuing
the baby, and restoring it to the dis
tracted mother.
The other incident was even more
dreadful. As we stood looking at the
fire, we beheld q man struggling, and
the next moment saw him deliberately
thrown into the hames
George and exchanged looks of hor-
ror, but the by-standers seemed to pay
little heed to the occurrence, merely
rcmarking that the man was an incen-

Bank Frauds.

New York, 24.-In the West
Side bank this morning Cashier
Dobler refused to speak Of the bank
or its affairs. AT 1.30 p m. the bank
suspended, and Dobler's silence was
explained. President George Moore
says he closed because the American
Exchange cleared for him. He said
he had plenty of money to stand q
run all day, but wanted to treat all
the depositors as fairly as possible
Books are being INSPECTED by
two bank examiners. The presl-
dent says they will have their state
ment ready shortly. The bank paid
no interest; the directors and off
GERS OF the bank were in the build
ing all day, but Trey refused to talk.
All kinds OF rumors are about In
regard to Hinkley's defalcatlon.
One was that Huxley didn't content
himself with S96,e0G. Hinkleyis not
yet heard from. President Moore
said that he was sure that after the
books are thoroughly examined no
greater smonnt thai $4,000 will be
found missing, and that resumption
of business will take place shortly.

New York, 24.-There has been a
small run on the West Side Bank
this afternoon, owing to the 100000
Gefalcatiou of Hinckley, paying
teller. The crowd Of Gepositors
focked in and drew their money.
Many only drew a portion. The
officers of the bank refused to say
anything of the defalcation, but
promised q statement. Hinekley
has not been heard of yet. The
bank does not anticipate much Of a
run, and has a surplus Of many
thousands.
It is stated the to al liabilities are
$I,800, 600, and the bank had to meet
them $I,700,0 600 in business paper
and $4,000 in money; $500, GOO OF
the paper natures within the next
three weeks. Il is understood some
banks of the Clearing House As

the American Exchange the re-
sponsibility of assisting the West
Side Bank. The proposal was not
accepted, however, and then the
American Exchange refused to con-
tinue making its changes.

Forfeited Land Grants.

Washington, 24.-The Senate
committee On public lands to-day
decided to report bills forfeiting
land grants opposite uncompleted
portions Of the Northern Pacific
main aud branche lines and Att
lantic and Pacific railroads. Sem
ator Plumb, chairman of the COM
mittee says, it is impossible to call
culate the number Of acres involved
in both cases. Some of the land was
taken up before the eh>rter was
granted, and in the case OF the At
lantic and Pacific road it was not
constructed in the direction con-
templated. NominslIy the Senator
thinks the forfeiture of the Northern
Pacific will amount to 10000
acres, Atlantic s. Pacific to S36,0OO,.
