Safety Marks ON Bank Checks

An important and valuable inven-
ton is a check protector. The ma
chine is a small hand arrangement
that punches a series OF small round
holes through the paper, forming fig
ures, with large stop holes at each
end.
Chlorine will remove writing ink and
leave the paper free from discolora-
ton, so that a larger amount can
then be written in without detection.
Even tinted checks are operated on
quite as easily as plain or waterlined
ones. 1t is a fact very well known to
all rogues, and should be to all busi-
ness men, that embossing several
rows OF small uniform points on the
face OF a check, instead OF affording
protection, positively renders fraudu-
lent alteration more easy and detec-
ton more difficult, as, after moisten-
ing, the raised points can easily be
rubbed down with paper-holder, the
ink removed and replaced, and the
dies OF another stamp OF the same
make carefully worked into the same
ruptures, covering all defects and re-
storing the genuine appearance. But
once let the figures be perforated
through the paper, the portions dis
placed being removed without mutilat-
ing or weakening the check and then
your amount Is sunalterably fixed upon
the check

A Bonanza Mans Ruin.

From the san Francisco Call
"J. VI. Walker used TO have one
fifth interest in the bonanza firm,
said an old resident yesterday, as he
looked at the magnificent mansion in
the block bounded by Eleventh,
Twelfth, Jackson and Madison Streets,
Oakland. "He sold out to Mackay,
and he thought he had money enough
to last during all time" he continued.
- He never thought OF walking block.
His bill for hack hire during one year
was 50, 900. He spent fortunes, and
he lost in speculations IN Philadelphia
and New York"
The great mansion, ninety feet wide
in its narrowest part, looked empty
and solemn yesterday. A banner
stretched across the street, red flags
hanging from the front, and signs on
the fence gave notice that il would be
sold at auction. The property cost
Mr.. Walker about 100000 and he
had not lived long in his beautiful
house before financial reverses came
and he lost every cent OF mis- great for
tune. For awhile he lived, by permis-
sion of the bank, in few rear rooms,
but recently he moved to San Fran
cisco with his family. His loss was so
complete that ne is now utterly with
out money, and his case IL perhaps the
most striking instance OF the many
similar ones in this state OF the sudden
change from wealth TO abiect poverty
by stock speculation.

Paupers in Nearly All Trades.

From the New York sun.
A gentleman who is connected with
q charitable organization that con-
tributed to the relief OF about nine
thousand distressed people in this
city during the past year, when speak
ing OF the liability OF different grades
OF working persons to come to want,
said:
My experience shows that no class
Is exempt from absolute pauperism,
but it is very plain that some trades
furnish better livelihoods than Others,
and that any trade is better than no
trade, unless it is the trade OF seam
stress for a woman. Thus we were
called on to relieve $40 laborers and
only 55 carpenters, 70 'lOngshoremen,
and I plumbers, and that shows, too,
the difference between trades. Among
builders we notice a striking peculiar
ity. Relief was given to S6 painters
and 26 masons and bricklayers, while
only hOd-carriers were found to be
in need. | think this is due to the
solid front presented by the Hod-Car-
riers' Union. Among the metal work
ers we relieved - brass-htters, boil
er-makers, % blacksmiths, 26 ma
chinists, IS molders, and ID tin
smiths. | was somewhat astonished
to find that u engineers were needy.
They were men trained to care for
stationary engines in nearly all cases.
Horsemen seem to be as well off as
most wage-wOrKers. We relieved -
coachmen, SO drivers, and % truck
drivers. The clerks and statesmen re-
ieved numbered 1O5, but the sales
women numbered only ). Against
this small number we have to place
$50 seamstresses and 656 washers
and scrubbers. There are 81 nurses
on our lists also. The servants Of the
city, considering their number are not
badly off. We relieved 40 COOKS, 6
walters, and 35 other servants.
Among other trades We supplied the
wants OF Il printers, press-feeder, 2
shoe-cutters, L trapeze performer, 81
tailors, l undertaken, 3 watchmakers,
1 ropemaker, milliners, 4 paper
hangers, IS seaman, and 3 photogra-
pliers. The professions were not ex-
empt, for We had physicians, l or
ganist, clergymen, 13 teachers, 4
lawyers, 4 artists, and l editor.
There are no paupers among the re-
porters."

Driven Out by Fire.
Adispatch OF the 9th from Cleveland
says: At 1890 o'clock this morning
fire was discovered in the third story
OF Ladies Hall, connected with the
college at Oberlin, Q. The building is
a brick structure, three stories high,
and Is owned by the college. A man
named Hatch manages 1t, and accom-
mOdates 13O female and 100 male
students. The men board at the hall,
while the women lodge there. The fire
rapidly spread, and II Is reported here
that all the inmates OF the building
escaped without injury. There was
great excitement, and the students
rushed from their rooms into
the street clad simply in their night
garments. The night Is very cold. and
it is difficult to get water into the
building. Two steamers are now at
work, and 1t Is thought other build
ings in the vicinity will be saved. The
hall is a wreck, the fire at this time
having consumed the two upper floors.
The building Is about 100 feet square,
Is worth about $50. 900, including con-
tents, and Is insured. The fire orig
mated IN the attic. Last night peo-
pie on the upper floors smelled smoke.
but a vigorous search failed to locate
whence the smoke came. It Is now
supposed that the caused the fire was
a detective flue. The students on the
lower floor were successful in saving
nearly all their effects.

The Shoplifter's Mum.


The French muff is the latest device
OF the female shopEfter, and by those
familiar with its construction and per-
feet adaptabihty 10 its business it is
conceded TO be the neatest thing
known.
The holiday period is the choicest
season IN the year for the shoplifter.
but has been Shorn of a large share OF
Its profits by alert hoor-walkers, who
have become perfectly familiar with
the warehouse" dresses and cloaks OF
the professionals. Until the advent OF
the French muff the ladies who lived
by picking up valuable laces, silks and
fancy articles in the large stores had
no particular comfort in their calling,
but with the new device they have been
able to reap a harvest despite the
lynX-eyed professional counter watch
ers.
The shoplifter's muff is, ouewardly,
above suspicion, there being nothing
about it to betray its capacity for
cOncealing plunder. It's covered with
any kind OF fur, lust as honest muffs
are, with the significant exception
that, instead OF being padded with
cotton, the fur rests upon a frame
work OF wire. Between the fur cover
ing and the wire supporting frame the
space usually filled with cotton is left
vacant, thus providing accommoda-
tion for quite stock of valuable lace,
articles of jewelry, gloves, or anything
else small and valuable.
In the bottom Of the mutf there is a
small slide on the inside, worked by
the hand OF the wearer, who, after in
Producing the article stolen into the
muff, presses back this slide and drops
the plunder into the cavity between
the frame and the fur. With one OF
these muffs shoplifting is so easy as to
be successfully practiced by novices,
as not one store-walker in a thousand
would suspect that his counters
could be worked through a muff
worn as these are when in action.
The operator rests her hand, with the
mutf on 1t, on the goods which she
proposes to sample, and moment OF
diverted attention on the part of the
saleswoman or salesman is ample for
her to transfer to her ingenious ware
house such samples as she can con-
veniently and quickly pick up with one
hand. The movement OF conCealing
the stolen articles Is instantaneously
executed, and. however well the muff
may be stuffed, it cannot be bulged
out to attract attention, like cloak
or a dress.
