GIVE THE ~DEPOSIFOBS 4
CHANCE

In another column We present some
facts and figures in regard 10 the late
banking house OF Morton f Post & Co.
These facts we're drawn out by communi-
cations received at tuis office, me of which
was recently published, IN which iuforma-
ton was asked concerning the present
status Of the Post affnrs, and We give
them as they were found 10 the last re-
port made to the district court BY the
~assignees, Messrs Parshall and Warren,
Judging from the facts there presented
the outlook for the deposit1rs is by no
means roseate. The nominal assets now
on ha1d foot up something over $3.50, 900,
but from these We have very good reason
to doubt if $50, 600 in cash Is ultimately
realized. From this the stockholders
may figure another Is per cent dividend
at some remote time in the future, pFo
vidsd that the comparatively small amount
specified is actually realized aud a great
proportion Of it is not eaten up in the
meantime by expenses.
1t is possible that there may have been
necessity IN the past three years to Ray
Assignee Parshall s., 900 a year and As
siguee Warren 50, 600 a year, or $4,000
for both during the three years, but there
can no longer be any necessity Tor such
-extravagant expenditure. Our own i'm
preston is that much of this expense
could reasonably have been saved long
ere this. However this may be it is now
the imperative duty Of the district court
to cut down all expenses in the setting
up OF the estate to a minimum 50 that
the unfortunate ~depositors mag be saved
every dollar thpt it is possible for them to
realize. What they will ultimat " real
ize will at best be but I small proportion
OF their original loss, but it is high time
that a limit was put to all sorts Of expend-
itures and the dcpositors given a living

600 at least, who has made fortunes for
others, and who has no one to thank for
his success but himself. Mr.. Pullman
looked at me very curiously as l asked the

Disorders Which Affect the Kidneys
Are among the most formidable known.
Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and

How a Woman Made Money by Getting

inquired Pittsburgh Dispatch reporter
of physician who was working with
$ q woman at the Union depot yesterday.
She was lying on one Of the benches,
and apparently had had fainting spell.
ooh, she has had a hysterical ft," he
replied carelessly. "She Is all right,
and nobody need be worried about her,
This woman may be all right, but
have my doubts about it. I had hard
work trying to open her eyelids, and
pahe evidently held them. 1t is an old
gag, you know, of some women, to
faint in public places, where they can

taken. / know of one who used to have
hysterical spells with great regularity
. at hotels and depots- Invariably money
was collected for her benefit, and she
walked off with the stuff, only to faint
AWAY again in another public place.
She always had pathetic tale to tell,
and it took the police good while be-

game. It's an easy matter for woman
ITO become hysterical, and they can
bring on the fit when they feel like It. /"

Domlcal Incident In the Receiving Room
Of . Chicago Hospltal
Now and then some comical things
happen IN the receiving room out at

on the rSsle cot provided for physicians
on duty, when he was aroused by tho
rattle Of tho patrol wagon at the 'front.'
entrance, says the Chicago Herald He
listened 10 the shutting footsteps In the
hall and knew It was a case Of drunk
with moro or less elaborate trimmings.
Finally TIVE policemen struggled into
the room assisting one Of the most
wretohed and dilapidated specimens Of
humanity dhat ever lay on stretcher.
The fellow had become Intoxicated,
had fallen into quarrel and had
suffered terrible beating. His face
was badly cut in q dozen places. His
lips werc swollen and bleeding, his
eyes were blacleened and half shut, his
cheeks were lacerated and his teeth
were loose, and over all was the
raggedest, muddiest, most disheveled
suit Of clothes possible to imagine.
They laid him on the operating table,
and one of the attendants assisted the
doctor to remove the garments and
bathe him, while tho policemen bade
good night and went back to their
beats. In spite Of his liquor and his
terrible drubbing the fellow was game,
and sort of grim humor welled up
every moment Of the operation that
was necessary to fit him for recovery.
He joked about the stitches in his
cheek, and told the doctor the needle
must have been case hardened. He
protested against the plaster, and
claimed he had always heard porous
plaster recommended He finally
pulled out a loosened tooth and offered
1t to the attendant for paper weight.
At last the patching was completed,
and he stood up in an unsteady fashion,
his single garment being the sheet with
which he had been covered after his
bath, and while the doctor had been at
work upon him. A tall mirror at the
end Of the Office attracted his attention,
and he walked toward it, wrapping his
sheet about his shoulders as If it had
boon q Roman toga, struck the most
heroic of attitudes, and delivered him
self to the sewed and cemented figure
in the glass:
o, pardon me- thou bleeding piece Of earth,
That am neck and gentle with these butch

Thar ever livcd in oil Chicago.

A good-looling young man who

"That fellow wears corsets," remarked
a gentleman. Inquiry at a store where
such things are sold, says the New4ork
