A BANK SWINDLED.
A Thomasville Bank Out $500 on a
Forged Check

~ SOa SACSA+
TOWNSVILLE, GA, Jan. 2. - About
! three weeks ago young man named H. G.
Bigham arrived in this city, accompanied
by his wife, and secured quarters at the
Randall house. He hailed from Baltimore,
Md, and was presumably a tourist in
search of pleasure. Bigham spent money
quite freely around town, and was quite
dissipated in his habits He wore dudish
clothes and affected English manners ex-
! tensivoly. From the gorgeous trousers
which be wore at all times, he came to be
known around the city by the Soubriquet
Of Pants
1t was understood that Bigham had a
wealthy father, who put up the cash for
him to spend. About a week ago his money
gave out, and for day or two the dude
was dead broke. he gave it out, however,
that he was expecting a check from his
governor" by every mail. On last Wednes-
day morning ne Informed several acquaint-
ances here that the check had come, viz. :
$500, aud, accompanied by a prominent
druggist in town, he walked into A. p.
Wright e. Co. s bank on Broad street. where
he negotiated the check, receiving $3.50 in
cash and took a certificate of deposit for
the remaining $3.50 The druggist in quss-
ton did not indorse the check for Bigham,
but simply certified to the identity of the
Young man. The check was presumably
drawn by Bigham's father, TO the order of
H. c. Bigham, and was made on some bank
in Baltimore.
PANTS" TAKES LEG BAIL.
After receiving his money young Pants
organized hunting party, and engaging
guns and a dog and accompanied by one or
two friends he drove out toward 1allahas-
see. That night was spent at a sporting
house about twenty miles from Thorn
asviie. The next morning young Bigham
left his companions in the lurch, and went
to Tallahassee alone " here he was afterward
found to hive bought a ticket for Mobile,
Ala H 8 wife remained in this city until
Yesterday, when sac also took her depart
ure, but her destination Is unknown. The
forgery was discovered Saturday, since
which time the bank officials have been
endeavoring To trace the young swindler.
IL is not thought that he went to Mobile,
and from late information il is probable he
will soon be IN the custody Of the law, and
will receive taste of Georgia justice.
The father of the young spendthrift re-
fuses to make the loss gQpd, SO it is reported,
and it is probable that pants" being cut
Off from bis supplies, and rendered despe--
ate st his situation, adopted the above
methods in order to make a raise. Whether
the banks los will be confined to the $3.50,
or whether he has negoriated the deposit
certificate since leaving tho city, remains to
be seen. Bigham, it is understood, left sew
eral debts and accounts around town unset

LOT OF The NEGROES.
Fred Douglas Delivers an Address on
Their Alleged Wrongs.


Their Alleged Wrongs.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.-The celebration
Of the first quarter century of the emanci-
patton from slavery began here this after
noon under the auspices Of the Pennsylva-
MIA society for promoting the abolition of
slavery, and for the reliet of free negroes
unlawfully held in bondage, and for inn
proving the condition Of the African race.
Fred Douglas delivered an address on the
wrongs OF the negro Ee said he had been
looking at the question OF the colored racs
from political standpoint, and he
had seen some things that disturbed
him very much. He objected to calling
the southern question the negro problem,
because it was untrue, misleading and had
tendency TO obstruct the path Of duty and
truth.
SHIFTED THE BURDEN.
1t shifted the burden from the nation and
placed it upon the shoulders of the
negroes. 1t implied that there was
something in the negro that required
solution. The same thoughtless or malig-
nant use of words is always INDUCED
in, the negro being always put in the fore
ground in all sorts of disturbances. The
question was not the negro but the nation,
whether the American people in the light
of the nineteenth century have virtue

THE RoGUEs' BANQUET.
A Curious Annual Dinner Given to the
Thieves of London.
From the Nelo York Sun


From the Nelo York Sun.
The annual banquet Of the thieves Of
London, given the other day by the st.
Giles mission, was a most brilliant affair
The lord mayor bravely presided, in def
ance of the old proverb. To this banquet
rare par erceLIence, none but thieves fresh
from Jail are admitted, except, of course,
the members of the mission and their
friends.
This mission has curious history 1t was
founded about twelve years ago by thief
nicknamed the Fiddler who abandoned
his old profession and took to religion for
living. Since that time it has increased
in power and usefulness. Every morning
when the doors of the four prisons of Lon
don are opened to let loose the Individuals
who have discharged their debts to society,
members of the mission come forward and
invite the crooks to breakfast. Out of Is, 600
of these worthless set free in 1887 Is, 200 ac-
cepted the invitation.
At the close Of the repast a temperance
pledge is presented to the guests, which
they may sign or not, just as they choose
About one-third of the numter sign the
pledge, and about one-fourth of that third
keep it. The mission furnishes money, tools
and clothes to the crooks who display sin
cere intention to lead better lives, and it
finds employment for them, too.
At the banquet in question about 200
guests sat down to table. There were some
queer faces among them, and their COS
tunes defied description. They ate in
silence-that is to say without speaking
but the rattle of their knives aud forks dur
ing their engagement gave noisy evidence
of good appetites. Gradually the din sub
sided until there were only few stray rat
ties left, like the close of well-sustainad
infantry fire. Then the speeches began,
but the members of the truly silent profess
sion held their tongues. The lord MAYORS
speech was interesting. He said that ten
years ago the population of prisons of Lon
don numbered 20, 1913. 1t is now reduced
to IA 1855, and he attributed the reduction
to the work of missions like that of St.
Giles
