New York, May 6.-Char,es II. Pinck-
ham, jr, former president of the Bank
OF Harlem, was arrested this afternoon on
an Indictment charging him with misap-
propriating $4,000 of the funds of the
bank. The discovery of the alleged detail
cation was made when the consolida-
ton of the Harlem with the Hamilton
bank was put into execution. David f.
Porter, Pinckham's successor as president
of the bank, said that Pinckham borrowed
money from the bank for himself on Sc
curities which were found to be worthless.
The son of an ex-alderman seems to have
benefited by the transaction, and if he is
in this country he should have him in
dicted also. The condition of the Bank of
Harlem after the losses are allowed far, it
is asserted, shows unusual strength, hav-
ing on hand $40. CO., against to-
tai deposits of $4,000. Further
more, the Hamilton bank is already pro-
tector OF the situation. Pinckham, in his
I capacity of president, gave two promis-
sorry notes of the respective value OF 81, 600
and $500 to A. II. Wood "a theatrical man
now in prison for swindling in connection
with the Harlem theater. He also gave a
check on the Harlem bank for SlI. 500 to
Wood for notes. and accommodated others
in the same way. Pinckham is 40 years
old. Bail was fixed at $500 After his
arrest Pinckham said he was too much
perturbed to make a statement. He
stated, however, that it appeared strange
to him that after two years the bank
should take action when they knew the
circumstances all along. He admitted
that there was a deficit in the banks ac-
counts, which fact the board of directors,
he sad, We're acquainted with all along.

A Diary Curious and UsefuI.

AJapanese journal describes curious
diary kept in a family of a well-to-do
farmer in the province of Koshiu, in the
center of the main island 1t has been
kept regularly for more than three hun
dred years. The diary has naturally
become voluminous. Seven or eight
oblong boxes, two feet wide by five
long and two and half in height, prin-
cipaly used in Japanese houses
for storing bedding, are said to be filed
with them. Recently dispute is said
to have arisen between two families in
that neighborhood, each claiming to be
the original family or stock. The dis
pute was settled by referring to Mr.
Hazaka, the present head Of the family
with the diary, who discovered in one
of the early volumes an entry made by
one of his ancestors of a dinner he at
tended given by an ancestor of one Of
the parties to the dispute on the occa-
sion of the latter's founding a branch
family. As the entry was SO detailed
as to include even a minute account OF
the different dishes served on the occa-
sion it left no room for further wrang-
ling and the parties were quite sat
ished. -Lloyd's Newspaper

'I'm an old man." he said slowly,
''and I've lived long time longer than
most men who have lived as long as l
have, for there's mighty little in this
world that l oughtn't to know that 1
don't know, but there is one thing l
don't know and I've been trying to
learn it for fifty years, more or less"
whats that?" interrogated Gamaliel,
who was but yet beginner.
'Well, my son, it's this: I don't
know, and l don't believe I ever shall,
why it is that when man gets home at
o'clock in the morning and finds he
hasn't his night key in his poc ct he
can ring the bell and thump the door
and throw pebbles up against the win
dows and disturb the whole neighbor-
hood and keep on doing it for three
quarters of an hour or more before he
wakes anybody in the house; but if he
gets there at in the morning and has
his night key in his pocket and slips
it into the lock as still as mouse
and turns it without creak, and creeps
upstairs in his sock feet as still as cat,
and gets into his room as noiseless as
the stars go to rest, he not only wakes
up his wife, but next morning every
body in the house is asking him what
he means by coming in 7'at hour of
the night, and if he mu- in then,
why doesn't he make less ket and
not disturb the whole country.
The old man, in an excess of emo
ton, gasped once or twice and began
to mop his brow.
That's what 1 don't know, young
man." he went on, land I'd like to live
until you have lived just as long as
have, to see if you can find out, but
don't really believe you ever will"

and those who know Gamaliel have a
sublime confidence that he has made a
noble beginning.-Detroit Free Press.

his lot Is cast as not to come into con-
tinual collision with it's beliefs, rules,

With a view of obtaining a partial in
sight into some of the methods of deter
mining the prescribed degrees of insan-
ity, an interview was sought with
distinguished physician whose life has
been devoted to the care of the unfor-
tunate beings who can neither adapt
themselves to circumstances nor shape
the events of life to their own ends, and
who are consequently denominated lu-
mates.

response. Usually confinement is

such progress as to be unmistakable
To an experienced eye the evidences Of
mental arrangements are, however,
manifold. One of the most infallible
modes of judging of persons mental
