Says the Chicago Evening Mail: 1t
would be difficult to say how many
households there are in Chicago which
can produce skeleton like that exposed
in the Champlin mansion at Cincinnati
yesterday morning The killing of
young Champlin shows how at least one
young man around town. one wild
young fellow, zone of the BOYS" be-
haved toward his mother and family
when under the influence of liquor
Too often the merry laugh of the sa-
loon roysterer changes into the howl of
murderer. when the victim of the
drink reaches home. Young Champlin
may have been model fellow when
sober. His mothers grief over his
awful death proves that be was loving
son. Whisky had taken possession of
his soul when he raised his hand against
her. There is no other agency under
the sun which can transform man
into a beast as rapidly or as surely as
the FLOWING bowl which poets sing
about. The young men who patronize
the gilded saloons of Chicago should re-
member that Harry Champlin was no
worse than they. He had sunk no low
er than most of them. He was a good
natured, happy-go-lucky fellows lit
tie wild, his friends said. but good
hearted. A few drinks of Cincinnati
whisky sent him home demon and
caused his death. There is plenty of
reason for the cry raised by the women
of the country that the manufacture
and sale of drug which will cause
such calamity as this shall be stopped.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Paying Teller
Richard Scott, of the Manhattan bank,
left here Monday night last, at o'clock,
on the Montreal express, and it is
thought he reached Montreal yesterday.
SCOTS crime occasions more than or
binary surprise on Wall street, where
be has been known so well for twenty
five years. His habits were good. 1t
is known that he drank but very little,
and that bis living expenses did not ex-
coed $40 per week, which was clearly
within his salary of $4,000 per year.
Rumors that Scott specialized and
gambled have been closely run down,
and it is not believed that he did either.
In fact he stole in cold blood and with
the one object of amassing a fortune.
His defaloation is $3.50. $40, and it is be-
lieved that he took every dollar of it
away with him. President Hayes. of
the Manhattan bank, said tonight that
he believed Scott had been planning the
robbery and escape for months so that
he has taken with him only small bills
and gold coin SO that he would avoid
any trouble in using the money. Scott
handled millions of dollars every dav,
and was under bonds of $4,000. Mrs.
Scott does not know of her husbands
whereabouts. This afternoon the bank
offered reward of of $4,000 for the
capture of Scott and his delivery to the
New York police. Pinkerton's agencies
in this city and Chicago. and the Cam
adam branches were at once nut To
work on the case.

A Larcenous Postmaster.

A Washington special telegram of
June 5, says the Postoffice department
was in possession of information
that j. III. Hibbs, late postmaster
at Lewiston, Idaho, had retained book
of fifty money order blanks, and man.
aged to get $4,000 in cash and run off
to Canada. Two weeks ago he was re-
moved and C. G. Kress appointed in his
place. Hibbs kept the money order
book and at once began operations.
Three plans have been discovered in as
much of his work as has been thus far
unearthed. One was to draw an order
payable to fictitious name in some lit
tie town and then write bank in the
place that he had been intending to stop
there, but had changed his plans and
should not be able to stop there, and
would like the bank to collect the order
to him. This letter he would have sent
to some little town not far off, where he
would 60 and get it and turn the draft
or check into cash. Another way was
to go to the place on which the money
order was drawn and collect it himself,
signing the fictitious name in the receipt.
A third plan was to draw an order
dated at some other Office than Lewis
ton and pay it himself. This plan he
operated before turning over his office
to his successor. One such order was
dated Pierre City, Idaho. A dozen lit
tie money order offices were used. For
time it was doubtful whether he or
his successor, Kress, was the one who
was working the schemes that were de-
tected, but to-day it was learned be-
yond question that Hibbs was the man.
His last collection of bogus order was
made only four days ago. Hobs was
last heard from at Victoria, b. G..

The Baptist Weekly says: If you want
TO put down an evil the shortest way
sometimes is to invoke law. In Min
neapolis, last week, the Protestant cler.
gy denounced the indecent play-bills
posted up through that city, and they
preached and resolved about the
matter. Father McGoldsick of the Ro-
man Catholic church, however, OBJ
tanned warrants for the arrest of the
bill-poster and the proprietor of the
theatre. Very often people are salts
fed to talk against wrong when they
could repress it, at once. if they did
their duty as citizens, for if the author
tiles do not voluntarily enforce laws,
others must set the machinery in mo-
ton.

A New Pay System.


The old system of paying railroad
hands in currency, from perambulat-
ing pay-car. is no longer in vogue on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul sys-
tenn. The company's employees, num-
bering from $4,000 to $4,000, are now
paid by checks, which are forwarded in
express packages to the several towns
along the line, the certified pay-rolls
having been previously sent to the gem
eral offices in Milwaukee by the COM
pany's agents. The company requires
two separate receipts from an employee,
one signed on the payroll when he re-
ceives the check and the other when he
endorses it on receiving his money. Ar
engagements have been made with the
banks in each town to cash the checks,
and they are as good as gold, and when
an employe chances to lose his check he
can get duplicate after going through
certain precautionary formulas. The
employees are reported to be thoroughly
satisfied with the new system, and the
company reports it a complete success.
Under the old plan four pay-cars were
required for the service. Each car re-
quired six men-an engineer, fireman,
conductor, paymaster, clerk and porter.
Then there was the cost of running the
engine, wear and tear of the rolling
stock, and the risk of collision, for pay
cars always ran wild Now all the work
is done in the paymaster's Office in
Milwaukee with only six clerks. Then
when payments were made in currency,
there was always more or less danger
from robbery. The system was crude
in many respects, and the present ar
rangement is more business like.

An exchange says: A printer stood
at the desk of a business man the other
day and noticed him using letter heads
which he had bought of an eastern
printing house. Said the printer. who
was a customer: What would you
think of me if | were to go to Chicago
and buy your line of goods for myself
and familyr Il would think you a
fool, when | know you get the same
goods just as cheap of me. and also aid
fellow citizen" When the printer
called attention to the imported letter
heads the merchant coughed and walked
behind the counter to wait on a Gus
toner.

''Oh, yes remarked sharp-faced,
prosperous looking passenger, 'sDakota
is great country. I've just come from
there. It's going to be great farming
region, and there will be good towns up
there by the hundreds. That's my bust
ness-starting new towns. During the
last two years I've laid out, named and
started up three new towns. Money in
it? 1 should say so. What do lots
bring? don't sell. No, sir; haven't
sold lot for fifteen months. Give 'em
away-every last one of 'em. You can
have the title deeds of dozen right
now if you want 'em. No, STREE, the
man that tries to sell town lots in Da-
kota gets left"
How in the world can you make any
money giving away town lotsPn
Just as easy as rolling off log.
There's ten million people in the c,un-
try hungry to get hold of anything they
can get for nothing. They swallow town
lots as if they were oysters. / send out
pack of deeds by mail every week to
Eastern parties who have replied 20 my
immigration circulars. The lots don't
cost them cent, out they must pay the
recording fees. My son-in-law is re-
corder. The surveyors charges must
be paid. My youngest son is the sur
veyor That's just starter, you know,
to interest the lot-owners in their prop
erty, as il were. That's what we call
the preparatory state. Then comes the
real business part of the transaction.
Local improvements must be made, and
the City Council Chats me, my sons,
son-in-law, and two hired mem levies
special assessment. The tlrst thing is
grading street. Then comes sidewalk.
Then sewer. And if they stand it we
clap on fence. But the most of 'em
won't stand it. After paving ont few
hundred dollars for grading and side
walk the most of 'em fail to whack up.
OF course the City Treasurer CHATS mel
takes possession under the law. Why,
with land at 81. so an acre the recorders
fees alone make us even, and the spec
ial assessments are a regular bonanza.
Can | give you a half-dozen lots to-
day?'

New Orleans Exposition.

This grandest show on earth closed
for its first term last week with the gen.
eral understanding that it will be re-
opened next fall for another season with
many new and unsurpassed attractions.
While this exposition may not have been
a present financial success, the good
that it has been to the South and the
United States generally, will far out
weigh all present pecuniary considera-
tons. 1t seems that Cleveland and his
cabinet have refused to allow the gov
eminent exhibit to remain there during
the summer and do not promise to re-
place it next fall. Since the people Of
New Orleans have arranged to pay all
summer expenses of caring for the en-
tire exhibit it seems little strange that
it should not be allowed to remain. 1t
is to be presumed that this government
collection is for the benefit of the people
of the United States, and if this is the
case more people will see and be inter-
ested in it in the next year in New Or
leans than will see it in quarter of a
century in Washington. But if the
government exhibit is removed the
space il occupies will be quickly filed
by exhibits from the states and terri
tories, and the interest of the exposition
will lose but little. 1t is evident that
the exhibitors have made a great deal
of money out of sales contracted since
they have been in the exposition, to say
nothing of the enlarged and valuable
territory that, through their bettered &C.
qnaintance with the world, has been
opened up for the sale of their wares
and machinery. The whole country has
been largely benefited aud new direc-
ton given to labor and manufactures
that will result in the greatest educa-
tional, social, and financial progress.
Now that the southern people have had
experience in conducting such vast
exposition as the Cotton Centennial and
Worlds Fair, and since exhibitors and
commissioners. through the past win
ter's work, have learned just what is
wanted, and how to arrange everything
TO the best advantage, everybody can
look forward with the assured expecta-
ton that he can find at New Orleans
the grandest and most instructive ex-
hibit that was ever arranged in the his.
tory of our world.

A Chinaman's Revenge.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June 3.-Sam
Lang, an aged Chinaman, called at
Charles Loves saloon at 4 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon, had a glass of beer
and refused to pay for it on the ground
that Loves som owed him for laundry
work. An alteration ensued and the
Chinaman was pushed out. He turned
and broke vile compound in Allie
Loves face. He was taken sick in less
than two minutes with commissions. A
canvasser of rubber stamps happened
in, saw the trouble and at once pro-
cured an antidote, which undoubtedly
saved the life of the young man, though
he is still very weak and the pupils of
his eyes distended in size.
