A QUESTION OF LAW.
Touching the Responsibility O
TreaSurers of Societies.

Touching the Responsibility Of
Treasurers of Societies.
Editor Sunday Globe.
Will you kindly inform me through
your widely circulated columns, what
risk, if any, attaches to the treasurer of
all incorporated society, who signs
promisory note in his official capacity,
on the authority of resolution of the
society? Let me suppose case. Sup
pose a certain person was treasurer of
an incorporation, and that he was also
chairman of a committee in which there
were two other members. Suppose.
too. that this committee was authorized
by an unanimous resolution of the as
ISOLATION to procure a temporary loan;
that a note was drawn and signed by
our friend as treasurer, and endorsed
by himself and another member of the
committee referred to. This note was
discounted at bank, the interest being
paid out of the society's funds. When
the note matured, the same parties were
at their own request, authorized to have
it renewed, the interest being cared for
again by the society. Surprising. how
ever, that before this renewal became
due, an election occurred, and the
members did not see fit to re-elect their
former treasurer; that since then the
quondam official has been afflicted with
very sore head; and that he or some
ill-advised friends have been crying out
that he has been left in the lurch to pay
a debt which he assumed as an accom-
mediation. AS the note in question was
duly authorized by vote OF the society,
and as it was signed and Endorsed Off
cially, it would be difficult to see VIII ere
the personal responsibility comes in.
The payment of the note is in good
hands, and 1t, as we'll as every other pc
cuniary obligation of the society, will be
we'll cared for. There is valuable
property, amply sufficient to cover all
Indebtedness, and so far no one has been
a loser to the extent of solitary cent
nor is it at all probable that any one ever
will be. Nobody has attempted to fas-
ten any personal responsibility upon the
once genial treasurer, and it would seem
worse than foolish for him to do the
martyr act" and pose as the victim of
designing ingrateS. Kindly give the
benefit of your opinion, and excuse the
trouble, as this communication is writ
ten solely in the interests of
FAIR PLAY.

TALES OF The WEST SIDE.
DR.. Kate Bushnell Talks on Chinese
Missionary Work.
OTHER CHURCH SERVICES.
Discussing Electric Franchises---Gen-
eral N0tations of the Sixth
Ward.

The churches in West st. Paul were
well-flled yesterday at both services.
At the Clinton Avenue M. E. chuach,
the pulpit was filled in the morning by
the pastor, Rev. j. F. Stout. In the
evening the building was filled to the
doors with people anxious to hear Dr..
Kate Bushnell on the subject of Job
servatiOns in China" The lecturer de-
tailed the benighted condition of the
people of the Chinese empire in matters
OF religion, showing that although the
work of the missionaries had been stu
pendOuS, when their limited number
was considered, there were millions of
souls remaining in dense ignorance of
the word of God. She also referred to
the rayageS caused by the opium habit,
which, in spite of all the efforts of the
English and American missionaries,
hourished and seemed irradicable. The
people with whom the missionaries
came in contact and who were brought
under their influence, took kindly to the
religion offered them, and became true,
conscientious Christians. The opium
traffic was a disgrace and reprOach to
modern civilization, and to the use of
the fearful drug was directly traceable
the physical degeneration OF the people
of the empire. 1t had been stated, and
doubtless believed, that the opium habit
once formed was incurabie. The
Christian workers in this heather land
had proved conclusively that there was
no foundation for such conclusion,
they having induced many thousands
of habitues of the drug to forsake it
forever. Instances had been recorded
wherein ChristianiZed Cinnamon, whose
cravings for the drug, intensified by
abstinence, became awful TO witness,
had died rather than resume habit
which had been proved to their salts
faction contrary to the wishes of
Almighty God and the teachings of
their adopted religion. With such eX-
amples of resolution it seemed that the
final redemption of the ignorant people
of the Chinese empire from the grasp
of the terrible habit which was doing so
much to hold them back from their
rIghtful position among the people of
earth was not altogether hopeless. The
address was listened to throughout
with intense interest, and was deeply
appreciated by all present as atruthful
picture of the dark side of things under
the yellow flag.

appeal for sympathy. 1t remained for
ragged little st. Paul reprobate to
catch on to this fact; and the way he is
working his graft and realizing quar-
tiers and dimes on it would do credit to
much older confidence SharpS. Just at
dusk Saturday night the attention of a
GLOBE reporter, passing the corner OF
Fifth and Wabasha streets, was at
from the depths of the earth. 1t was
followed by groan that would have
been heard in Pigs Eye, and the report
er, as he penetrated the shadows of the
postoffice building, expected to find a
man in the thrOeS of death. Instead, he
found small boy, ragged. frescoed
with dirt, and, by this time, crying as
though his heart would break.
whats the trouble, Johnnie" was
the inquiry.
'1've lost me money!" was the re-
Spouse, and the little fellow ran his
grimy hand through large rent in an
outside pocket.
"Why, that's nothing to cry so much
about"
''But it's de all I he'd, an I amt
chewed since mornin'."
''How much did you have?"
81 he'd from two shines left, and he
heaved sigh that shook his little frame
from Genesis to Revelations.
The reporter fished up the last quar-
ter. well knowing that he would go
without lunch as a conseGuence-but
believing that some time in the future
he would get gingerbread when other
folks were glad to eat crackers-and
passed on about his business, leaving a
grateful boy wiping the tears from his
eyes.s Passing the spot half hour later,
the same noises were heard, the same
boy was found, and the reporter led the
same conversation in a changed tone of
voice until clear case was established.
Now, look here, you young rascal,
didn't just give you quarter?' were
the words addressed the boy, who had
himself noticed his mistake.
"Rats! We chump. Go N chase yer
self round de block!"
The boy moved on a few feet, and his
victim took up position in the shade
of an opposite building, from where he
had the satisfaction of seeing three other
suckers landed in less than twenty
minutes.
