There is stored at the United States
Sub-Treasury down in Wall street b b

Government officer who had Just do
posted check for s15, 900 accepted an
invitation the other day totake peep at

in a moderate sized room whose walls
are honeycombed with little closets
Each OF these receptacles contains
$500, 900 in gold. They are duly sealed
and marked, so that the amount can be
removed quickly on short notice. While
the visitor was present a suboriinate

in the amount of money deposited in

When John j. Cisco was the Assistant

could not have drawn out or cmbezzled
a single cent OF IL without somebody
knowing it. | could not even enter the
vaults without assistance from a clerk
who carried some OF the keys" But the
responsibility is, nevertheless, very
large. and weighs heavily upon the men
who assume it. Very few men care to
take IL for any length of time, and Mr..
Canda, after a few months trial, re-
signed and returned 70 the banking bus
mess. Nearly all the men who have
held this office ard remained in busi-
ness have found their way into impor-
tant banking establishments. This Is
true OF Mr.. Acton, who is now president
OF the Bank Of New Amsterdam. and Of
Mr.. Canda himself, who is cashier Of
the Western National Bank, of which
the late Secretary Manning was presi.

Tho Science of Making Maps a Decidedly
Laborious Insiustrr.


The early maps used by Prof. Hors-
ford are partly French, and this. with
the ,emat@ahle display of maps at the
Paris Exposition, and the great work
undertaken by the French bookseller,
Hatchette, leads me 10 say a word about
map-making, or ''cartography," as the
French call H. The age OF Louis XIV,
which produced 50 much else, gave an
impulse 20 map-making. and early in
the last century, the great atlas OF
DAuville, which was forty years in
making, was the ancestor of innumera-
BILE maps since published. France also,
under the Bonrbons. made the first inn
portant typographical survey. under the
lead of Casino de Fleury, who was en-
gagged on 1t from fT44 TO lTss, and his
maps were used by Napoleon and Well
lington in their campaigns.
In our century, however, geographical
science and art under Humbolt, who
studied in Paris, and Ritter have
migrated TO Germany with other
branches of learning The great pub

men like Stieler, Sydow, Spruner and

Usher, Kiepert, have for fifty years held
sway in map-making. Hachotte, in the
days of the Second Napoleon, undertook
to break down the German monopoly in
this art and TO restore France to her
former eminence In IL, and this Paris
publisher employed vivien dc st. Mar
tin 10 edit his new atlas, which is now
coming out in monthly numbers, be-
ginning with 1857 A still larger atlas,
begun in 1887, Is waiting TO follow.
vivien de ST. Martin died before much
had been issued, and he had been sue
eeeded by r. Schraeder. The prepara-
tory work is done and the publication
will soon begin again. A single map
will occupy an engraver year or two.
In the smallest atlas, maps of Switzer-
land, the British Isles and the Russian
Empire are published, and appear TO be
better than the best former maps-those
Of Stieler, the German. Compared with
work like this, the new atlas Of Middle.

A couple who appeared TO have
walked long distance over country
highway, and to be man and wife. were
wrangling ON the north portico Of the
City Hall yesterday, when a policeman
approached and asked what was the
matter.
''She's kicking up rumpus," replied
the man.

funk on his bargain" she protested.
We'll, what is it?''
why, we've been married about a

vorce, and she said she'd take FIVE dol
lars and let me go"
Seven, JIM said seven"
"You said five"
'Where were you going TO get d.

I'm here. That's what we came for.

II said seven dollars, Jim, put in the
wife.
'You said tive!"
''Sevenr'
"Five.n
''Seven dollars or ! won't sign!"

The officer proceeded TO enlighten the
couple little on the divorce question,
and when he was through the husband
said:
''if can't get divorce then I'll alb
duct myself"
Then I'll abduct after you!" she re-
piled. and as he started down the street
she trotted along at his heels and was
prepared for any dodge he might make.

An Experience which DIsproves One Of

OF this feminine tenderness the world
has been able to Judge on a vast scale
during the last two or three years.

months 10 900 birds were supplied TO
New York dealers from single village

woman from New York contracted with
a Paris millinery hrm to deliver during

MAKE THE HOUR The STANDARD.
The eight hour movement has assumed
formidable proportions in nearly all the
large cities Of the country, and the indi-
cations are that labor's demand that
eight hours shall constitute a days
work, Will be Boquiesced in by employers
in all those industries where 1t is possible
to carry the new standard into effect.
There are many employments, however,
in which this is not possible. This fact,
taken in connection with the peculiar
character of the various avocations in
which the day standard cannot be
adopted, seems to make necessary the
adoption generally of the hour as the
true standard of compensation.
The hour standard is simple one, and
is as equitable as it Is simple. 1t need
not necessarily abolish the day standard,
but it can supplement it. Let the rate
of compensation per hour be fixed in the
different trades and avocations,
and the question of how many hours
shall constitute days work will
settle itself. The character of the
employment will determine the number
of hours TO be worked. Carpenters,
brleklayers, stone masons, painters and
day laborers may adopt eight hours. In
other trades and empl8yments it may be
neither desirable Of possible to do SO.
If, however, the hour is made the stand
ard, the time worked, be it eight, ten,
or even twelve hours, will be paid for,
and justice and equity done both en-
ployer and employe. So long, however,
as the day is recognized as the stand
ard, and one trade. works ten hours,
another works nine, and still another
works eight, there will always be dis
putes, disagreements and strikes re-
garding not only the wages to be paid,
but the time to be worked. The hour
standard once generally adopted and
recognized will remove the question of
the number of hours that shall consti-
tute days work from the field of con-
troversy and tend to hasten the time
when employer and enploye will adjust
all matters pertaining to their mutual
interests in the spirit of justice, amity
cnd good will

Correspondence of the Gazette.
EMORY, TEX, May s.-The Hon, :.
W. Jennings, justice of the peace of pre-
cinct No. 4, of this county, has been
holding preliminary trial in the case of
Henry Johnson and his wife. Katie
Johnson, who stand charged with the
crime of numbering W. NJ. Shumate, an
account of which was published in THE
GAZETTE few days ago. The evidence
develops that defendants were liv-
ing on deceased's farm with the de-
ceased; that on the 2Sth ult.
defendants left the premises taking with
them two wagons and FIVE head of horses
and mules and all the household and
kitchen furniture, all the property of the
deceased; that on wednesday search was
made of the premises and at a distance
of perhaps half mile from the dwelling
the llfeless body of w. NJ. Shumate was
found, the head terribly crushed and in
an advance state of decomposition
There was evidence tending to show that
the body had been conveyed
there on horse. The defendant,
Henry, made his voluntary statement
of course denying the killing or any
knowledge thereof, but the oircum-
stances against the defendant were
strong and conclusive, and defendant,
Henry johnson, was remanded to Jail
without bail. Then was called the case of
Katie johnson, wife OF former defend
ant. Upon the court informing her that
she had right to make q statement and
giving her due caution, she made q
statement shocking in the extreme; that
while the old man sat dosing
by the fire, Henry, her husband, struck
deceased on the top of the head with a
Ratchet, sinking came to the handle in
the dscased's head. The old man sat
some time motionless. He never spoke
or groaned, but fell to the floor and was
taken off by the husband after having
received repeated blows with an ak. All
was done in her presence and she assisted
in removing the blood and blood stains.
A more brutal outrage has not been COM
mitted in this county.
