Police to Look for II.
Superintendent Muir ray issued q general
alarm this morning notifying all banks in the
city TO stop payment on o check drawn by
George w. Hearst and signed by David d.
Withers for 81. 4sO.
In the notification to the various police
precincts it was stated that the check was
either lost or stolen.
The George w. Hea rst Is United States
Senator Hearst, of California, who has been
In town for the past two weeks, and Mr..
Withers is the well-known horseman and
member of the American Jockey Club.
The check was on the Bank of the State of
New York, and it is said that IL was in settle
ment of a horse transaction recently COM
pleted between the two gentlemen.
Senator Hearst had put his Endorsement on
the back of the paper, and 1t would be read
lily negotiable at any bank previous to the
warning being given.
When an EVENING WORLD reporter called
at the Office of Mr.. Withers, ut 35 William
street, he was informed by the young man
in charge that Mr.. Withers was in
town on Saturday for about half an hour. and
that he left for the Sheepshead Bay races, after
which he went to his farm at Red Bank, N. j.,
He knew nothing of the loss of the check.

Another cashier has gone wrong.

<hhothSA SeohAOa Ahc bSeS "aohSs
There is nothing remarkable in this state
ment, for 1t is q common and almost daily
occurrence.
It is the cause which is assigned for the
w~rongdoing (which renders the case of pecu-
liar interest.
Neither speculation nor gambling of any
nature whatever was responsible.
Over indulgence in bonbons, a love Of dis
play in dress and n hankering for the latest
novelties in gloves and shoes are said to be
the causes which contributed to this fail.
The cashier was a girl, Miss Mamie E.
at 50 Greenwich avenue with her widowed
mother and o younger sister.
For several months Miss Raven had been
employed as bookkeeper and cashier for
Stern Il Schloss, manufacturers Of Dus;les at
80 Howard street.
Four weeks ago she was discharged for
Irregularities in her accounts when a de-
~iciency of over 5000 was discovered.
She was arrested Saturday afternoon by
Detective -Sergt. Hanley. of Chief Inspector
Byrnes's staff. and yesterday was a%rralgned
in the Tombs Police Court, before Police
Justice White, on a charge of forgery in the
third degree.
The specific charge In the complaint was
that on July % she paid Max Hopes, q sales
mar for her employers, his salary of $15 and
charged rs paid the sum of $50, appropriating
the balance to her own use.
Miss Raven is O pretty, pert and we'll
dressed girl, and when asked to plead laugh
ingly asserted her innocence and claimed the
charge in excess Of the amount paid to be a
mere clerical error.
Joseph Schloss. of the employing firm who
was the complainant, says that the trouble
with Miss Ravens books was that there were
too many of just such clerical errors.
She signed her sta ement in O bold, firm
and rather masculine hand, and was bailed
in 81, 900 by James Taylor, q coal dealer, of
400 West Twenty ninth street.
Miss Raven is said to be q member of a
church in Charles street, and bail was pro-
cured for her through her friends in the con-
gregation and Sunday school.
Prior to her connection with Stern 4
similar capacity with a small dry-goods firm
who recommended her. There are said to
have been no Irregularities in her accounts
with her former employers.
Neither Mr.. Stern nor.Mr. Schloss were at
the Office when The EVENING WoRLD reporter
called this morning.
The salesman, Max Hopes, said Miss Ra-
VEINS weakness seemed to be for flowers,
candy and gloves. She was always well
: dressed-better than her small salary would
| seem to warrant.
Efforts, he said, are making to settle the
case and prevent further prosecution.

her mother being at home this morning.
1t was learned, however, that the girl il

She will be examined in the Tombs Police
Court, Thursday at 10 A. NJ.

About Meteors.

The August nights from the 9Th TO the
18th will be enlivcned BIZ the display of
meteors which are to descend through
the atmosphere in greater or less numbers
The meteors, as Is we'll known. come from
the great meteor zone whose perihelion
is on the earfh's orbit and whose aphelion
extends beyond the bounds of Neptune,
the most distant planet in the solar sys-
TEN. The earth, about the 10th, plunges
through the zone, the meteors are set on
fire BY the conclusion of the earth's at
mosphere and descend in The form of
shooting stars. The radiant point of the
August meieors is in the constellation
Perseuse, and they are therefore called
Persids Pereseus, rise On The 10th In
the northeast about Q o'clock, and observ-
ers who watch the SKY in that direction
will be rewarded by The sight Of several
hundred meieors as the hours of night
pass on. Many of them will be brilliant
and as stars of the first mag nitude, and
many of them will leave trails of lumi-
nous yapor lasting several seconds.

Searching Weather.

Five days of intense heat is really a
trial of patience after the exceptionally
cool weather of July. The great humidity
of the heated air, the motionless leaves of
the trees and the wilted appearance of
everything green, makes one long for a
refreshing shower. The rain of Saturday
night and last evening which swept over
portion of this county, contributed
somewhat more to the sultrInes this morn
ing. However, there is no use fretting
and fussing, because that does not make
one any cooler, but we only hope there
will shortly be some relief from this
sweltering August heat. Already three
fatal cases of sunstroke are reported from
Baltimore and one or two from Washing
ton, and it would be well for US all to be
careful of ourselves as regards diet, drink
and exposure to the sun. If the CAPITAL
lacks its usual interest during this pro-
tracted heated term, generous sympa-
thizing public will readily understand the
reason Tor IL.
