Cashier Looks at Them.

The Way IN Cngallant Chicago Bank
Cashier Looks at Them.
Chicago Tribune.1
Confession of Dearborn street bank
cashier: "a man in bank is not allowed
to talk about its business, and I reckon
that's right. But what you have just been
saying prompts me to tell you something
under cover. There isn't one depositor in 200
who will allow his wife to check against his
money. Occasionally man leaving town
will come in and ask us to honor his wife's
checks to a certain amount. A woman
doesn't seem to have any sense about
money in bank, unless she is her own
depositor, and then she is apt to be a
good deal of a nuisance. She will come
down shopping for instance. She buys
a bill at one house for S13 SO, and she gives
a check for that sum. She makes purchases
at another house to the amount of So 80 and
gives check for that. And she goes on
shopping half day, giving check for
every purchase. And the next day she
comes to the bank and wants to know if the
checks have been presented, and then she
wants to know if we can't balance up her
book. She wants to know how she stands.
"Women depositors, fortunately, are few.
Most women prefer to keep their money in
a safety deposit vault, where they can 90
and look at it and count it over for their
own comfort. know one bank presidents
wife in this city who has her own money
which her husband allows her. She won't
deposit it in his bank, and he told her one
day he was glad of it. She has her own tin
box in a safety deposit vault"

ceased to agitate the bell that called the

who piloted the provender. asked me if

of nv case and said would. She retired,
reappeared and placed before me a dish OF
hot beans, plate of bread and butter, and
a cup of tea.
One Sunday morning I broke my fast

baked beans. For supper we had tea and
cold beans, and for breakfast Monday morn

which his house was noted. If / live to be

and said: What! y didn't git no beans?
Well, by y-I'll see about that.

PRESIDENT NEWELL'S QUIETUS.
The Lake Shore Ma gnate Checks the Work
on the C. & p. Docks.

on the c. d p. Docks.
CLEVELAND, September 20.-Last winter
the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railway Com
pany announced that it would spend $780,
600 in building and improving its docks.
About 500, 900 was spent, and early in the
spring all work ceased. Until recently it
was not known why work had been stopped.
The c. & P. owns a triangular piece Of
ground near the upper end of the old river
bed and offered to exchange this for a piece
owned by the Lake Shore and located near
the c. & P.'s slips.
The Lake Shore accepted this offer. but
the question of opening the river had come
up, and President Newell declined to make
the trade until that question was decided.
Mr.. Newell wanted to substitute this bit of
ground for the river bed opening on the
claim that it might be used for a basin in
which vessels could turn around.
The vessel owners could see no benefit in
Mr.. Newell's substitute, but it is probable
that he still thinks of winning them over.
as he refuses to make the trade with the
Cleveland and Pittsburg company, and as
result all work is at an end for the present
on the docks of the latter company.
Thus the delay in going ahead with the
river bed improvement prevents the pro-
posed expenditure of a very large sum of
money on the most important docks in the
old channel. Mr.. Newell's advice to the
Cleveland and Pittsburg company is to
wait until the present agitation of the
river bed question blows over" when the
trade will be made.

A TRUE PHlLANTHROPIST.
Instead of Giving Money to Beggars He
Provided Work for the Poor.

Instead of Giving Money to Begsars He
Provided Work for the Poor.
London Letter in Providence Journal
A man who died here this week-Colonel
Tomline-is worth your readers attention
for a moment. He was grandson of Bishop
Tomline, who wrote the life of Pitt He
had lot of money and a conscientious feel
ing of responsibility as to the use he should
make of it. He used to receive heartrend-
ing appeals from people who wanted money.
These made his life trouble to him. 1t
brought him too much into touch with the
misery of the world and simply added to
his perplexitv. How could he distinguish
between the genuine cases and the impos-
lures? How could he wisely distribute the
charity he was willing to dispense? He
gave up the attempt. He burnt the beg
ging letters Gas far as he could distinguish
them) without opening them; and devoted
the whole of his spare money to enterprises
that would employ labor, in that way di-
minish the poverty around him.
He was cotemporary of Gladstone's at
time he was not going to turn out the clev-
erer man of the two. Sir Robert Peel
bracketed him with Gladstone as one OF his
clever young men. Some disappoin tment-
possibly a love affair-is said to have
spoiled him and deprived him of ambition.
He was also associated with the other lead
ing political figures of this generation Of
Englishmen,
