HER FIRST BANK ACCOUNT.
1t Lasted Ten Days, and Her Hus-
band then Went Back to First
PRINCIPLES.


band then Went Back to First
Principles.
A well-kown banker, who had become
tired of the irksome habit OF fumbling
his wife asked him to pay the necessary
household expenses, and who was smart
ing from the stings of a recent heavy
raid against Reading, said to her not
long ago at the breakfast table: edith,
I can't be pestered with these trifes.
You must open n bank account. [ will
make cash deposit, against which you
can draw at your leisure, and so not
harpOon me just as [ am about to put on
my overcOat for $40 here and $40
there"
The young wife, to whom the visions
of personal bank account seemed to be
on par with & private view of Para
disc, readily accompanied her husband
forthwith to a fashionable bank on Fifth
avenue, where her signature was en-
rolled for Identification, and pass
book, with 81, 900 to her credit, handed
to her, together with a pretty pocket
check book, containing fifty blank
checks, and interviewer at regular inter
walls with convenient sheets of blotting
paper.
Everything went on smoothly in the
bankers household for some ten days,
until, returning home one evening, he
started to upbraid his wife in the fol
lowing terms:
"Why, Edith, how could you be SO
eXtravagant? You must have been get
ting an entire winters wardrobe for
your poor relatives, in addition to paying
our household expenses. Your account
is overdrawn. l have q letter from the
cashier of your bank, stating that you
are indebted to the bank $106. 30, and
requesting me, at my earliest convent
ence, to make good the amount.
"No such thing" she replied. 81
still have plenty of money in the bank,
and will prove it to your satisfaction to-
morrow morning"
A visit was made to the bank, and the
lady was confronted with q formidable
array of figures and vouchers, confirm
ing the cashiers estimate of her indebt-
edness. She demonstrated that gross
injustice had been done her, and offered
III evidence ten blank checks which re-
manned in her check book, and argued
that her balance could not be exhausted
until those blank checks had been used.
1t was in vain that the cashier tried to
convince her that one check was all that
was necessary at any time to draw out
her entire balance. The banker, how
ever, who has retailed the joke at his
wife's expense in the corridors of the
Windsor Hotel, is going to return to
old principles. The bank account has
been closed and the bankers wife will
have to be satisfied with meekly plead
ing every morning for $40 or $40 as
heretofore, which will be granted ac-
cording to her husbands credulity in
the Legitimacy of her demands, and
provided the season at poker on the pre-
v:ou5 night does not compel him for
that particular day to be harshly eco
nOmical.

MILLS BILL.
The Ways and Means Committee
gain Considers 1t.

WASHINGTON, March l7.-The Ways and
Means Committee resumed consideration of
the Mills tariff bill to-day. AS was ex-
pectcd, the two internal revenue sections of
the bill left over from the last meeting, en-
countered the vigorous opposition Of the
Republican members of tine committee.
Tue section forbdlig the destruction Of
private djStilling apparatus by revenue Off
cers IN advance of trial, was particularly
obnoxious 10 thou, and they pointed out
the difficulties that would encompass otfi-
GERS OF the government IN attempting TO
secure transportation for, or the safe-keep-
ing of such property in a county hostile to
their purposes.
Mr.. Browne offered rather elab-
orately prepared amendment to re-
peal the tax on alcohol used in the arts.
The amendment contemplated the abolish
ment of special warehouses in each district
where alcohol might be stored and with
drawn for use, or hypothecated at the nomi-
nal rate of 25c. per. barrel, which it was
stated would reimburse the government for
the additional expense of maintaing ware
houses.
This amendment was rejected by party
vote, and the revenue sections having been
finally acted upon, Mr Reid moved that
these sections Of the bill be reported to the
House.
Mr.. Scott moved as an amendment that
the words specifying the revenue sections
be stricken out and that the bin be reported
next Thursday, as the chairman held that
the effect of the motion with this amend
ment would be to require the entire bill,
tariff and revenue provisions, to be reported,
Mr. Reed withdrew his motion.
The committee then proceeded to consider
the tariff sections Of the bill, but made very
little progress, not being able to pass be-
yond the lirst paragraph Of the free Ii re-
lating to lumber. The session closed with
the adoption of a resolution to hold sessions

TO EXAMINE THE TRESTLE.

There will be a critical examination of
the trestle tomorrow. IL seems to have
been sound, and it was not the weight of
the train, but the violent wrenching of the
derailed cars, which tore out section of
400 feet. The damage could not be esti-
mated tonight, but the train, excepting
the tender and the Lehigh car Minerva,
will be a total wreck. The two Pullman
cars alone cost over $4,000
each. The Minerva will be removed to Sa-
vannah and repaired. Its Inflated owner
and two injured sons are at WaycroSS, as
well as the dead b-dy OF another son. A
low estimate of the damage to the road
would be over $75, 900, while the oSs of life
and manned cannot be computed by that
standard.
HARD WORK.
Supt Fleming and his corps of officials
have worked all night at the wreck supper
less and untiring. From the telegraph Office
under the embankment Mr.. Fleming directs
the movements of the trains for relief and
the arrangements for the care of the dead,
as well as the general work of clearing
away the wreck and rebuilding of the
