The pleasant breezes from the South,
and the warm sunshine for three or
four days last week made us think
Summer was here but we were sadly
mistaken. We forgot about dogwood
winter having yet to come and the
squalls that come and go with Easter.
We are now having a binding snow
storm. Nature seems to be fast asleep
here. She hasn't put on a single new
garment, May be she is dreaming of
new styles, and new fashions, and
new ways to decorate and adorn her
wardrobe when she does awake. A
few more days Of sunshine and few
more warm showers / think will bring
her from her slumbers and set her to
weaving the beautiful robes she ex.

81 suppose there are stored in the
banks and safe deposit vaults in Wall
street and vicinity not far from 81 ,000,-
600, 0,000," said Mr.. Robert Pinkerton,
as he sat in comfortable, easy chair
in his Office in Exchange place. ~
may be trifle out of the way in my es-
innate, but not very much. The protec-
ton of all this wealth requires the servi-
ces of a large number of men in addition
to the usual mechaical and electric de-
vices employed for that purpose. The
bulk of this large sum of money is
stored in the vaults of safe deposit
companies. The vaults are built of
iire-proof and burglar-proof material
and made as secure as modern in
vention will allow. They are connect
ed by electric wires with the nearest
district telegraph office. Armed
watchmen pace to and fro in the
rooms upon which the vaults open.
These men are required to give q
signal over the wire at stated inter
walls during the night, in order to
prove to the proper authorities that
they are faithfully attending to their
business and that nothing of an evil
nature has happened. If the signals
are not given an armed posse of men
are at once sent to the vault in ques-
ton. In addition to these watchmen
there are other watchmen who
patrol the street in front of the
building in which the vault is placed.
Private watchmen and detectives are
also on the lookout for suspicious
persons"
"Are there as many professional
bank robbers now as there were for
merly?" inquired the reporter.
81 don't believe there is the making
Off regular gang of first-class bank
burglars among all the thieves of
this country" replied Mr., Pinkerton.
NEARLY all the old professionals have
either died or have been arrested and
put away in prison and the younger
men don't seem to have the ingenuity
of their predecessors. Look at the
noted bark burglars who have been
caught and shut up within fifteen or
twenty years"
"The young burglars are now exer-
cising their skill upon jewelry safes in
different parts of the country. They
. have met with such success that the
jewelers. of the United States have
been compelled to organize themselves
into a society for the purpose ofmutu
al protection"

Mr.. Speaker Carlisle in India Ink

There has been custom for many
years of having a portrait in India ink
made of the Speakers. In accordance
with this custom Speaker Carlisle has
recently been pictured, and will in a
few days take his place in the long
line of Speakers on the walls OF the
lobby in the House. Mr. Covington's
committee had not only to decide and
pass upon the price to be paid, but
it had also to decide upon the value
OF the work as likeness. They de-
cided it was true and correct in every
particular and ordered that it be
placed in the line. When Speaker
Carlisle saw the portrait he said he
did not like some parts of it, but he
would have to bow to the judgment o
the committee, which had decided it 9

The House of Representatives has
authorized its Doorkeeper to employ
twelve men in the folding-room to fold
the speeches of members, They are
paid $60 per month for their services,
and will have their hands full until
after the November election takes
place. Mr.. Cox said that there were
$4,000 speeches in the folding-room
already, and they are pouring in at
the rate of 25,000 per day. These
speeches are mainly political on both
sides, buncomb for the most part and
are sent out as campaign documents
at the public expense. As both the
Republicans and Democrats are en-
gagged in enlightening their constitu-
encies in this way, neither party has
the right to complain of the other. 1t

COMkIing and Arthur.

Conkling never asked Il favor of nor
tried to exert an influence on Arthur af-
ter he took the oath of office. He has
made one visit to him since that time.
He did it, as he supposed, at Arthur's
earnest request. Just after Arthur
was installed in Office and while he
was tenant of the "Gray House,
Senator Jones, OF Nevada, appeared in
Utica, bearing a verbal message from
Arthur to Conkling. Its purport was
that the President earnestly desired to
see the ex-senator in Washington at
his earliest convenience. Jones, Conk-
ling and Arthur were known to be
friends. In the Senate, Jones and
Conkling had relations which the
troubles that sent the latter out Of the
Senate only served to strengthen.
The Nevada Senator and the new
President were under the same roof
Everything favored the idea that the
one should be the bearer of an impor-
tant confidential message from the
other to their mutual friend. Mr.
Conkling was i'll and PROSTATE in his
own house, wholly unfit to travel. He
was, however, induced to start fol
Washington. Before reaching New
York he began to question the expedi
ency of the visit. AT the Fifth Avenue
Hotel he consulted with friends, who
urged him to go to Washington
Jones could only say that it was Ar
thurs request, and to the advice o
Conkling's New York friends he added
arguments which only mutual friend
fresh from the scene of action, coulC
urge.
Conkling reached Washington more
dead than alive. Proceeding to the
Gray House it was not long before he
saw that either Jones had misunder
stood or that Arthur had changed hi
mind. 1t appeared to him that tn,
visit was an intrusion. He did no
seem to have been expected. Possibly
he was not wanted The Nevad.
Senator offered no explanation. TIL,
visit was of brief duration. Arthur
after an unimportant conversation
had business which required his atten
ton elsewhere and Conkling returned
to his old quarters in the city, wher'
he kept his bed for days. He returned
to Utica as soon as he was able.
: was the last time that Mr.. Conklin,
and Mr.. Arthur met, except casual,
and by accident. They have not con
! versed together since.

Democratic Gains i'm Indiana.

Democrats in Congress and employed
at the Capitol are jubilant to-day over
the returns of the spring elections in
that State. Mr.. Dalton, Postmaster
of the House, says the returns show
that the Democrats have increased
their majority of two years ago, which
was 1900; that they have carried
counties hitherto Republican, and
that the Democratic party is in much
better fighting trim than its oppo-
nents. 1t is also claimed'that the re-
cent elections give the Democrats con
troll of the election machinery all over
the State.
