The Harrington Batsrprise, n paper
which up to the assembling of the Dover
Temperance convention had been assidu-
ousiy nursing tremendous prohibition
boom, now says that the convention
made q fatal mistake in both platform
und general work and, without very
clearly explaining why, Aops right back
into the Democratic fold, Az far as we
catch the dritt ot what II does say, the
Enterprise nov nsserta that it wanted
Democrats 70 Jun that temperance
convention, thot it tried to CON
vert the Democratic part into a
prohibition party, aud, having failed
to do this, eannot see victory in
the conventid1'a work and SO thinks il
prudent to disembark before the shil
sinks. Therefore the Enterprise man, aftei
a somewhat vicious slap at John I. Snuls
bury, explicitly proposes ITO support tn,
Democratic party of to-day in her choice
and TO Support any honest man placed
ON the ticket, if he represents the true
principles Of Jeffersonian Democrat.
Well, 1t As relief TO see the Eateypris,
drop the "holier than thon" draper,

We are indebted to correspondent
who has been nipped for an explanation
of trick which has bcen successfully
employed for swindling several banks in
various eastern cities. A cheque, say for
Go, is obtained from depusitu
hnnk and a blank chequQ exactly like lie
cheaue is secured The two
cheques are laid one upon the other, SO
that the edges are exactly even. Both
cheques are then torn irregularly across.
and in such a way that the signature on
the filled cheque appears on one piece
and the amount and name of payee on
the other. The cheques having been held
together while being torn of course one
piece of the blank cheque will exactly tic
the other piece of the filled rhauue. The
swindler then fills in one piece of the
blank cheque with the name Of the payee
and the amount to suit himself, say
$4,000, takes il with the piece of genuine
cheque containing the signature of the
bank, and explains that the cheque was
accidentally torn. The teller can put the
pieces together, and as they fit exactly the
chances are that he will think that tile
pieces are parts of the same cheque aud
become victim of the swindle. The
trick, Of course, suggests its own remedy.
The teller should refuse to pay any cheque
that is INITIATED.

feet wide where thenew Baltimore i Phil
adelphla railroad crosses it. Though this
strip seems to be no-man's land for

that for all the ordinary business Of life
it is generally understood as being under
