No Help Tor Bank Thieves.

ono, " said President o. d. Baldwin,
of the Fourth National Bank, of New
York, who has worked his way up from
the ranks and has had many years ex-
perience, ''there is no way Of prevent
ing such thefts, so far as know. If q
bank officer is dishonest and determines
to steal there are no checks that viii
hold him. It is matter to which much
thought has been given by bank presi-
dents and directors, and there have been
conferences 60 discuss the possibility of
providing further safeguards. But we
must trust somebody. No system Of
bookkeeping or supervision human in-
genuity has yet devised win prevent
theft.
ssSee here. " said Mr.. Baldwin, taking
the reporter into the paying teller's
cage and pointing to neat bundles Of
bank notes on the desk. there are sup
posed to be @5, OO0, 900 In those pack
ages: but il would be an almost inter-
minRble labor 10 60 over each package
and verify it BY actual count How
would you like 70 count 81, 600, 900 in
one-dollar bills How easy would 1t be
for dishonest teller to put this little
parcel in his pocket | You see, it Is
only about an inch and q half thick,
but &c contains 81 coo, 900 In gold GER
tiicates. It would be utterly impossible
for the president of bank to 20 over
the cash Of teller every day and count
il to see that il correspondent with his
books.
'Are all such employees bonded 2"
eyes; but the usual amount OF surety
Is about IS, 600, and what d that TO
$3.50, OOO2 The bond amounts TO very
little, except as 3 moral check upon q
man. The best safeguards are to use
the greatest care il selecting men and
to pay them good salaries"
Chow long would it be possible for .
dishonest teller 10 steal without discOv-
cry In q well managed bank r.
ssHe could not keep it up many days
without being found ont unless he had
ConfedeEates among the bookkeepers.
In that event II might possibly 60 on 10

Advice to a Young Man.


Give the poor man q chance My
son, the poor man takes about ell the
chances without waiting to have one
given him. II you give him any more
chances than he takes, he will soon own
everything, and run the Ohio man ont
OF the country. The fact IL, we must
curtail the poor mans chances little.
We must sit down on him, and hold
him down, and give the rich man q
chance. The poor man has had things
his own way too long. He has crowded
the rich man out. But for the poor
man, this old world would have cast
anchor six thousand years ago, and be
covered with moss and barnAcles to-day,
like q United States man-Of-war. George
Peabody was boy In q grocery, Edgar
Allan Poe was the son OF gtrolling
players, John Adams was the son Of q
farmer; BENJAMIN Franklin, the printer,
was the son Of a tallow chandler; Gift
ford, the first editor Of the Quarterly
ReViesO, was common sailor; Ben
JonsOn was q bricklayer; the father Of
Shakespeare couldn't spell and couldn't
write his own name-neither can you;
even bis illustrious son couldn't spell IL
twice alike; Robert Burns was child OF
poverty, the eldest Of seven children,
the family Of q poor bankrupt; John
Milton was the son Of . scriyener,
Andrew jackson was the son Of poor
Irishman, Andrew johnson was & tailor,
Garfield was q boy Of ell work, too poor
even TO have q regular trade: Grant was
q tanner, Lincoln q keel boatman and
common farm hand, and the Prince Of
Wales Is the son Of Queen. It Is his
misfortune. not his fault; he couldn't
help IL, and he can't help IL now. But
you see, my dear boy, that's Gil there "a
Of him; he's just the Prince Of Wales.
and he's only that because he can't help
It. Bethankful, my son, that you weren't
born . prince; be glad that you didn't
strike twelve the first time. IL there IL
3 patch on your knee and y0ur elbows
are glossy, there Is some hope for You.
bat never again let me hear You say
that the poor man has no chance. True,
. poor lawyer, poor doctor. q poor
printer, q poor workman of any kind
has no chance; he deserves 10 have now,
but the poor man monopoIizes about ali
the chances there are. Put Laban and
Jacob IN business together anywhere,
and IN about fourteen years Jacob viii
not only own about f0ur-dfths Of the
cattle. but he viii have married about
one-hah his partners family. Go to. my
son, let us give the rich man chance. -

How the DH0ney-Order system can be Uail-
lied for Fraud-A Defnlcaflon of Over
@2OsOOO.
A dispatch from Lewiston. idaho,
gives more fully the story Of the defaI-
cation Of Isaac Hibbs, postmaster ct
Lewiston. BE was appointed in March,
1884. Last January registered mail
pouch was robbed, but an official investi-
CATION developed nothing, and the affair
was eventually forgotten. On May I'd
Hibbs left for an alleged silver mine on
the Upper Columbia. The Postal In
Gpector, alarmed ct his continued alb
sence, investigated the affairs of the
Office, and found in Hibbs' writing re-
ceipts for large number Of Registered
mail pouches destined for fictitious
names in different post-ofices supplied
from Lewiston. The modus operandi
was as follows Lewiston is the mall
distributing point for large number Of
offices in northern Idaho and eastern
Washington. Hibbs would issue money
order for o fictitious name ct these
offices, drawn in favor Of bank in
Iowa, where the orders were payable.
The customary letter Of advice was for
warded to the paying postmaster.
Hibbs then wrote to the bank that he
would shortly visit the town, enclosed
the money orders, and requested the
bank to cash them and place the
amount on deposit to his credit until he
arrived. Later he wrote to the bank
that he could not make the contem-
plated visit, and requested that draft
for the amount Of money on deposit be
returned By registered mail to the hcti-
tious names attached to the money or
ders, and always ct some Office where
the mail passed through Lewiston.
When the drafts arrived Hibbs signed
the fictitious names and returned the re-
ceipt cards, and the transaction was
completed. The amount Of the defalca-
Hon exceeds $50, 900, and il expected to
reach $50, 900. The Postal Inspector
says the robberies will necesaitate the
authorities reorganixing the money
order system Of the United States. The
scheme Is surprisingly simple, and the
officers are surprised that e ives never
thought Of and worked before.

English cockney, and usually pass for
great swells. Most Of them have money
enough to ride good horses and are well
connected, but they are sorry specimens
OF men. What I notice about them
particularly is their insulting manner
toward women. They deliberately stare
women out of countenanCe. no matter
where they happen TO be, and I suppose
they viii continue to do il until two or
three Of them have been well thrashed.
