A Startling Confession.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-Ex. Assist
ant Cashier Charles Lawrence of the Key,
stone bank, now serving a seven year
term for completely in wrecking the bank,
has written a statement OF the methods
used to deceive ex-Bauk Examiner Drew.
The letter, which bears date Aug. 5, and
is addressed to Col VIM. p. Drew, is in
the form OF a confession. Lawrence says
that IN the first place every means posi-
BILE was use to swell the assets and di-
minish the liabilities of the bank. This
was lone by no regular method, but by
plans suggested by opportunity. In
dividual ledgers were. altered at
least twice a year-about the time
Drew was expected. Sometimes
whole pages were distracted, false
balances made by altering pencil figures;
large balances decreased and over balances
wiped out; false credits posted to over
drawn accounts, so that. the examiners
attention might not be drawn to the ledger
more infinitely; sometimes false cheques
were posted to an account having a large
balance, so as to reduce the liabilities.
This was done to the extent of about
$500, 600. Money owed the cash drawer
was replaced. sometimes by means OF due
bills taken from the due bill book. some
times by means of certificates of deposit
or the president obtaining a loan. Bills
discounted were swelled by the intro
duction of fictitious notes. These were
intended both to swell the assets and take
the place Of other bills discounted which

see lest it excite his suspicion. Lawrence.

Mr.. EDITOR: In my travels and obser-
vations through different parts of the
world, have seen a great many Won
ders and mysteries, but the greatest
wonder as well as the most beautiful
sight have ever witnessed is the crater,
OF Kilauea. The commotion of the fiery
elements in this lake, and the roaring
kissing sound, reminds me OF the ter
rlble disaster Of Johnstown; and still
the sight is one of such magnifcence
and grandeur that it is impossible for
me to describe it and do it justice.
L have been, since my conversion. a
close student OF the Bible, and | have
always tried to picture in my own mind
what kind OF place this lake of fire and
birthstone really is. The all-wise creator
has not told US where it is located, but |
suppose he knew best. But according to
the description given in the good book
believe l have discovered it. Surround
ing this fiery lake are numberless pit
falls or burning geysers which smell
strongly OF sulphur and birthstone,
which makes it convincing to me at
least that this IS truly the picture of hell
itself. Each pitfall is surrounded by
beautiful tropical flowers and shrubbery
OF every description, and this puts me
in mind of how beautifully the
devil surrounds and decorates his
pitfalls here ON earth to entrap
his victims. l would advise all sinners
to 60 to this lake and catch a glimpse
OF what awaits them in the hereafter.
OF course l may be mistaken in the
place. The illumination on dark nights
is another of the grand sights to be wit
messed here.
The trip from Honolulu to the Volcano |
and back, with the everlasting changes |
Of scenery, is one of pleasure and full Of |
and especially so to students or
lovers OF nature. In some places the |
climate is sublime. On the southern
side OF the island the climate is dry. |
but on going towards lilo the |
tourist must not feel surprised if
The flood gates of heaven should
open and give him a good old fashioned
shower bath. At Hilo the shrubbery,
and surroundings are perfectly
magnificent, but for a nearly perfect
climate give me Honolulu, the Paradise
of the Pacific. Yours truly,

RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.

Russian political sentiments are Just
now attracting more than ordinary
attention. A very curious but withall
an apparently probable explanation of
the present state of Russian feeling to-
wards al non-Russian residents in the

Francisco Chronicle.
Mr.. Frederick says that the movement
commonly known as pan-Slavism is
something far more intense in degree
and more widely spread, and with OBJ
lects In view of far greater national and
International importance than is gener-
ally supposed. 1t is not, he says, the

war with Turkey may be brought about,

tors in the Balkan States, but that it

bearing fruit, and that every Russian
knew him to mean that Russia should

Europe, throw to the winds the effort to
