Short in His Cash.

NEW YORK, May 14.-Eugene Walton.
collection clerk of the First National bank,
was arrested to-day, charged by Ebenezer
Scofeld, the bank cashier, with having vio-
lated the United States banking laws by
making on the I'd of April last a false entry
of $1,000 in the banks books to cover
deficit. The amount of the deficit is not
known, nor is it known how long the irreg-
ularities have continued. The position of
collection clerk is responsible one, and
great reliance was necessarily placed in
Walton, who received and accounted for
the incoming notes and drafts. 1t is
alleged he accounted for the deficiency at
the time, explaining that check received
from the City National bank, at Denver,
through the Importers and Traders bank
of New York, had been returned to Denver
for the purpose of correcting an error in in
dorsement. AS the Importers and Traders
bank had been already credited with the
$1,000 this would leave an apparent tenn
porary deficiency of the above amount.
The commissioner fixed the prisoners bail
at SO, 900.
The defalcations are stated by the bank
authorities amount to SIS, 200. Walton de-
nies the embezzlement, and says he had
nothing to do with the books. In default
of bail he was lodged in Ludlow street jail
for the night.

Some Questions in e veryday Life
From the Ladies' Home Journal.

What is ones social duty? Often we
hear one friend ask this question of an
other. Is ones social duty done by accept
ing and giving invitations? What do we
bind ourselves to in accepting the hospi-
tality of friend or acquaintance? Is our
duty by her done when we have entered the
portal of our hostess and have given her
greeting? If ws are a man, do we do our
duty when we neglect speaking to the la
dies whom we know? If we see chance
when we can be of service to our hostess
in making things pleasant and agreeable
for her, is not that our duty to be ready and
happy to do her bidding or even to antici-
pate it? If we are a woman our power to
do more than to make ourselves as agree
able as we may is limited. We can then
only be kind, generous and considerate of
other women as it comes in our way. We
cannot seek the opportunities of being po-
lite and making the happiness of those
about us as men can. Selishness, alas that
we see so much of it where there is the least
excuse for it.

Ugly Women at Paris Balls.

LabOuchere IN London Truth.
The Hotel de Vile ball was extremely
proper, though not exactly fashionable.
Any lady who was able to pay twenty
francs admission and provide her
self with a cavalier, was al
lowed to enter. Tie dukes and dnch-
esses of the noble faubourg went to satisfy
curiosity under the cloak of charity. Vast
as the halls, lobbies, corridors, saloons and
galleries are, they were very crowded
after midnight, when tickets were
sold at the portal at half price.
Electric lustres on the Edison
model were principally used. What was
most wanted were handsome and pretty
women and girls and ine-looking men.

of both were depressing. l sat an

FIVE fairly good-looking and three beautiful

too much attention has been always paid to

Reauty's the Thing.

The latest personal about Mrs. Langtry
is that she has just added SO, 900 more to
the sum invested by her in New York real
estate, thus swelling the amount to S135, 00O
A few years ago she was comparatively i'm
pecunious. Her husband could not provide
what her tastes demanded. SO she took to
trading in her beauty and now has lots of
money. Beauty is the thing. From Helen
of Troy to the Langtry the woman that has
had beauty and was willing to sell it has
had no scarcity of money for time. Beauty
and advertising together could not give Mrs
Langtry talent or modesty or refinement or
any of those inward or outward adornments
a true woman prizes beyond beauty or
money. But why seek talent or modesty
when beauty may secure what these could
not I?
With beauty and money Mrs. Langtry
can get all the admiration she wants, all
the fine clothes needed to show her off.
With beauty and money she can hold the
friendship of titled people in all parts of the
world. Beauty'S the thing.

Our ministers at Paris.

PARIS, May 14.-Mr. Morton, the retiring
United States minister, to-day presented
his letters of recall to Mr.. Grevy. Mr..
Morton and M. Grevy then lunched to-
gether. Afterwards Mr.. McLane
presented his credentials to the
president and delivered an adj
dress, to which M. Grevy replied, well
coming the new minister and thanking him
for the sentiments expressed in his letter.
M. .Grevy assured Mr.. McLane that he
would always find in France hearty co-op-
Grafton calculated to promote the
welfare Of the American republic.
In taking his leave Mr.. Morton thanked M.
Grevy for the proofs of esteem and sym
pathy, which he had received from him and
from the members of the French govern
ment, of whom he said he would always
preserve precious remembrance. M. Grevy
expressed profound regret at the departure
of Mr.. Morton, saying he had
always appreciated Mr.. Morton's great
character adding if the usages and tradition
of the two countries had permitted he
should ask as favor of the United States
that Mr.. Morton be retained
at Paris. Mr.. McLane, in his
address said: ''I have the honor

rangers are covering every trail for the
north and south, having frontier of $50
miles to patrol. They are working on inn
portant information received from
Fort Assinaboine, which has not
be made public. Fifty scouts are in the
field, and a reserve of fifteen remain at this
point 1t is thought that in the event Of
Poundmaker and Big Bear being driven to
bay they will at once strike south
for Cyphress hills. If they should succeed
in reaching that point, where large herds
of cattle are grazing. they can make better
defences than in the north, being close to
the boundary line. They will have facil-
tiles for obtaining ammunition and supplies
and the probability of being joined by
the American-Indian half-breeds and other
sympathizers will be much greater. A dis
patch from Batoche's to-day says that the
steamer Northcote left there this morning
for Saskatoon with the wounded. The
steamer Marquis is still at Batoche's.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-A ghost has
been haunting tue dreams of the clerks in
the internal revenue bureau lately, bearing
a huge cleaver and capaciOus basket, and
each man has slept with one hand clutching
his hair lest his head should drop off while
he is asleep. This nightmare has been the
product of a report that is said to have
been prepared by what has became
known as the Huntington subcommittee,
and by them submitted to Mr.. Manning'S
commission on retrenchment and reform.
This report is understood to have recon-
mended the abolition of the system of book
keeping so long and so successfully en-
ployed in connection with the management
of the stamp business at the internal revenue
bureau The adoption of such a report
would certainly make it very easy matter
for the services of at least score
of clerks to be dispensed with,
and there would be very little wonder
at the amount of clerical nervousness
if there was any probability of such a re-
port being adopted. Such, however, is not
the case. 1t seems that the subcommittee
have felt it to be incumbent upon them to
recommend something, and they therefore
took up the first thing that attracted their
attention. The members of the commits
sion, however, and the new commissioner
of internal revenue as well, understand too
fully the folly of abolishing the bookkeep-
ing system of the bureau. They would
as soon think of abolishing the
entire bureau at once as to
cripple it, as such course would cripple it.
But all the hue and cry about reform in the
revenue bureau need not be expected to go
for naught, just because an impracticable
recommendation has been made. The in
yestigation thus far made has shown that
the work can be simplified very materially.
1t is not improbable that a few
struggling divisions may be consolidated,
and it is quite certain that there will be a
good many changes recommended in the
methods of collecting revenue. In fact it is
outside employees of the bureau that have
more need to dream of CHASTITY headsmen
with big hatchets than those who work in
the department here in Washington.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-Congressman
gressmen Weaver and Fredericks are still
here agitated oyer the appointment of Mar
shal Williams and doing all they can to
procure its revocation. The secretary of
war, freiHs Massachusetts, the
.seeretafE Of the navy from New York,
are ouf of the city. These Iowa congress-
men have not been able to find out who the
new marshal for the southern hall of the
state is. The congressman and some of the
other Iowa Democrats here speak very
bitterly about the appointment of an Iowa
official on the recommendation of Judge
McCrary and a lot of other Republicans,
Henry Clews and other New
York bankers, some of them Repub-
licans and Democrats, who live so
far from Iowa. Williams is said to be
prominent lawyer, but the Iowa Demo
cratic congressman are lawyers, and they
never heard of him, so that it looks as if
Williams or the congressman were rather
obscure members of the Iowa bar. The
very fact that Campbelrs name was
Oh the delegation slate probably
prejudiced the president against him. 1t
raised presumption that Murphy, Weaver
and Fredericks had indorsed Halls friends,
and this kind of Endorsement does not
carry much weight at Washington. If
each member of congress had recon-
mended candidates for offices in
his district and had made no in
dorsements for appointments in other
parts of the state, recommendations would
probably have received more attention. An
Iowa Republican said tonight of Williams:
''He is the best Democrat in Iowa, where
he has lived twenty years, and he will make
a good marshal. Campbell, the delegations
candidate, is a county politician not very
extensively known, and is receiving more
glory by the prominence given him by the

Seeking office for ROsecrans.
Special to the Globe

WAsHINGToN,l May 14.-Among the
delegations at the White house yesterday
was one of about dozen ex-Union soldier
members of congress in behalf of Gen.
Rosecrans. They did not mention any spe-
cifc Office for the general, but wished an
assurance that he would be rewarded
for his lifelong service to the Democratic
party. The president assured the delegation
that he had not forgotten Gen. Rosecrans,
and was considering what Office to offer
him. 1t is runored by certain Califomians
in Washington that Gen. Rosecrans is to be
made recorder of deeds for the district.
They state that he has been a resident of
this city for eight years, and no longer be-
longs to the Pacific slope. This attempt to
run in the general as resident of the dis
trict is not palatable to Washingtonians.
Rosecrans up, to the 4th of March, when
his congressional term expired, was most
certainly resident of California.

from the Fourth assembly district of New
York, who arrived in Washington last even

the president a series of resolutions re-
Gently adopted in New York city, held a
meeting this morning in parlor at Will
lard's hotel and organized by selecting
Judge John Henry Mccarthy as chairman
and William GeOghegan as secretary. Mr..
Cox had been sent for and was present.
Judge Mccarthy stated that the object of
the meeting was to urge Mr.. Cox to decline
the Turkish mission. Turning to Mr.. Cox
he said he (Cox) had represented the dis
trict for years, representing all the people
and all factions and sentiments. The peO-
pie of the district felt hOnOred in having
one of his ability, wisdom and liberality to
represent them. It was Democratic dis
trict at all times, but it had taken pride in
giving to Mr. Cox one of the
largest majorities ever given any
representative in congress- In the

they were sending him to represent them
under a Democratic administration. They
unanimously felt that the government

country and his people than to go abroad.
For twenty years Mr.. Cox had been ham,
pered to some extent, but the future was
dawning brighter for him. Judge McC Carthy
then presented an engrossed copy of the
resolutions to which he said he trusted,
and the people trusted, Mr. Cox would
answer in the affirmative. The preamble
and resolutions were then read. Mr.. Cox
in brief speech declined to withdraw
from the mission on the ground that the
president had appointed him without his
solicitation and WAS determined he should
go to Turkey. The delegation then waited
on the president and asked him to advise
Mr.. Cox to decline. The president said
Mr.. Cox was the man he wanted for the
Turkish mission, and he could not spare
him.

The outcome of the talk was an agreement
that each should deposit 500 in the savings
bank, there to remain, with principal and
interest untouched, until both the babies
have attained the age of 21 years.
On attaining his majority each of the babies
is to be weighed, and the one tipping the

titled to the 5000 and interest.

why Men Don't Wed.
From the Atlanta Constitution. J.

FrOm the Atlanta CONSTITUTION.
The reluctance Of young men to marry is
rapidly taking the shape of one of the most
perplexing social problems of our time.
In sections where the women outnumber
the men by about 10 per cent, the situa-
ton presents many difficulties. But the dis
inclination of young men to marry seems
to be in the nature of contagious epi-
demic. 1t is spreading all over the country
except in agricultural regions where people
hold fast to old-fashioned ways. The trou-
BILE is, too many of our young men are de-
termined to marry rich women, or to accum-
ulate wealth themselves before entering into
the welded state. This state of affairs is
unhappy and demoralizing. 1t is difficult to
point out a remedy for this growing evil.
