THE MANAGER OF THE MUNSTER
BANK NON EST INVENTuS.
His Little Deficiency of $500, 900 Explains
the Trouble-An Immense Salvation
Army Petition Before Parliament

LONDON, July 3l.-The sensational feat
ures of the Munster bank collapse have
at last leaked out Robert Farquharson,
the recent junior manager of the con-
Germ, has fed, and his books as examined
so far show an embe zzlement Of
$3.50, 900 through falsfed accounts
1t is thought the total amount Of his defal-
cation will reach $500, 900. The sharehold-
ers have offered large reward for the ap-
prehension of the fugitive. The reward
placards describe him as 40 years old, five
feet nine, average build, dark hair and
whiskers, mustache slightly tinged with
gray, fresh complexion, dark eyes, promi-
nent, white front teeth, walks with stoop,
elegantly dressed, native of Scotland.
For twelve years Farquharson had been
in the service Of the company. Suspicion
first attached to him last Tuesday, when the
official examiner discovered half-erased
pencil entry in his books The embezzler
promised to explain this, and left the room
on plausible pretext That was the last
seen of him. 1t is supposed he
Immediately took an outgoing steamer.
The absconder was director Of
several companies notably the
distillery company Omitted. He was en-
gagged to marry wealthy Dublin lady
named Rogers, and had bought, paying
$25 600 for it, house in Lesson park; its
furnishing was only completed Monday
night Two years ago 1900 pounds sterling
in gold were stolen from the bank. and a
clerk named Lodge was charged, tried and
acquitted Farquharson was the only other
man Who had the safe key There is no
doubt now that he was the culprit, and
tried to convict the innocent man
Farquharson did not live extravagantiy,
but he specialized heavily, and is supposed
to have dissipated the greater part of his
stealings

TURN THE RAsCALs OUTi

Washington Post: There has never
been but one right and decent way to
transfer the government, and that is one
which commends itself to everyone. The
six or seven thousand offices contemplat
ed in the civil service law should be left
to the rules. The rules provide for cases
of incompetency, INSTRUMENTATION, or imr
moral conduct. The remaining offices,
more than one hundred thousand in num-
Der, should be dealt with openly, fairly,
and courageously. They belong to the
administration, and the administration
owes nobody an apology for taking pos.
session. The people called the democracy
to govern, and they expect them to do it.
There is occasion for secrecy, stealth, acs
cusation-no need for anything save alb
solute assurance that changes shall be
made in the interest of the people, of or
der, and OF justice.

by making books, such as Harvard and
its Surroundings, Kings Handbook Of
Boston, The Harvard Register etc. ,

has published many successful books
among them Students Songs, which
has had the most remarkable sale ever
known for a book of its class. Over 40
900 copies of this Students. Songs" have
already been made, and the demand is
said to be as active as ever The proba-
bic cause of this success is the fact that
prior to the publication of Students
Songs there was no book containing
songs and music that have sprung up and
became popular within college walls. dur
ing the past ten years Like almost ell
successes, it has its limitations, and some
are rather deceptive in their makeup Al

HnWnATE

Captain Howgate, an officer who held
a high and responsible post in the federal
service, embezzled a half a million dol>
lars or more of the public money, was ar.
rested and contrived to effect mysteri-
Gus escape from the officers who had him
in custody. This occurred several years
ago. 1t is a notorious fact that Howgate
since then has been almost continuously
within the jurisdiction of the United
States and in constant communication
with friends at Washington. 1t is doubts
full whether he is gone even as far as
Canada, and it is believed that he might
easily have been recaptured if potent in
fuences had not been intersposed to
shield and warn him. The assertion has
been repeatedly made that Howgate' S
stealings were shared with accomplices
high in office, and there is ample reason
to conclude that he could not have carried
on so extensive system of swindiing
without the aid of confederates, who have
since labored strenuously to keep him out
of the grasp of the law. Howgates i'm
munity is a manifest and fragrant scandal.
He should be recaptured at any cost and
no matter who may suffer by his confess
sion. If he cannot otherwise be reached
the people would be willing to have him
taken as states evidence in order to IN
mask the rascals behind him. No COM
munity can afford to lett its Howgstes and
Its Wards escape the penalty of theil
crimes while felons who lack money are
promptly caught aid tired and jailed.

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN ROCKFORD,

From the Rockford Register
A case of phenomenal, almost incredi
BILE, ignorance of even the most promi>
nent affairs aud individuals of the nation
was brought to light the day of Grants
death. Late in the afternoon a middle
aged lady entered Northup's five and ten
cent store on West State street. She
wanted bottle of that sticky stuff to
paste paper TO her pantry shelves. Muci-
Iage? Yes, that was the stuff. 1t was pro-
cured for her and in the meantime the
lady grew inquisitive about the black and
white insignia of mourning that draped
the buildings along the street. Was some
one deadS she asked. Mr.. Northup told
her that Grant had died that morning.
Indeed, he must be very wealthy and
prominent citizen; did he own all the
buildings that had the black and white on
them2"
He didn't! How strange. Then he must
have lots OF friends, and in this strain the
customer ruminated, while the proprietor
was too much astonished by the undeniaN
BILE evidence of black woods ignorance to
explain that the whole nation was mOurnN
ing the loss of its greatest general, man
| known in almost every corner of the

prides itself upon Its intelligence and
