How National Banks are Started.

Those wishing to start II bank Oh
tain possession Of, say one hundred
thousand dollars in grcenhacks, says
G. &, Post III the February Arena,
These they took to Washington and
loaned ~ the government at six per
cent. per "nnun. That is, they
bought Il government bond beating
six per cent. interest. They did not
however, take the bonds home with
them. They simply had record Of
tue fact made, that they had loaned
the government one hundred thous-
and dollars vt six per cent. interest,
| which interest, the government paid
them Il ycav in advance. Then the
government burned the one hundred
tliausan,l dollars of greenbacks. and
printed others ST. nearly like the
ErccnbackS that no one would bc
likely to think much about the diff
ference, and loaned uintv thousand
dollars of them to the bank at one
per cent. Der annum, retaining the
bond purchased 10y the bank as
security, but still paying interest up
on it at six per cent. The profit to
the bank and conscqunt loss to the
people i'll this exchange greenbacks
for bank notes, is up to this point,
is the difference between one per
cent, on ninety thousand dollars for
one year, paid b., the banks to the
government, and six per cent. upon
ono hundred thousand dollars for the
same length of time paid by the gov
eminent to the bank, winch difference
is tifty-onc hundred dollars. This
difference ia, however, slightly in
creased by the fact that while the
government paid the six per cent. t.
the banks i'll advance, the banks paid
the one per cent. to the government
in two instruments, one half of one
per cent at the end Of the first sin
months. and the other half of one pei
cent. ut the emil of the year.
The bank now had the ninety tlous

six thousand dollars interest none,

bscks, and as the people must have
money or 4 substitute for money, t

HOW CHIcAGoANS AREFLEECED

The City Crowded with Pickpockets Who
Rob Street Car Passengers.
Hang ON to your poclSetboolzs! If you
don't you may miss 'em. The city is
flooded with ight-fngered gentry, and
they will get your purse if you don't
watch out. This hackneyed injunction
is applicable at all times, but never be-
fore was the advice so good as just
now.
Pocket-picking, of course, says the
Tribune, is one of the commonest of
crimes. Pickpoc5ets abound in all
large cities, and Chicago has proved an
attractive field for these most ingenious
and shrewd criminals. While the city
has been plagued in the past, previous
years cannot compare with the present.
The growth of the city and the fact that
Chicago is naturally the Mecca for trav-
elers bound in every direction have at
tracted criminals from all quarters of
the country Just now, however, the
advertising the worlds fair has received
has attracted criminals from all parts
of the world. This makes formidable
addition to the usual quota of law
breakers. 1t is the slxirmish line only,
however, for the vast army that will
, follow. The early arrival of these Grim
inals is due in a large measure to the
coming political convention.
The more violent classes of criminals
are not arriving. Those coming are the
insinuating, the better dressed, the
brainy fellows-the confidence men, the
card sharpers of all classes, and, the
most dangerous of all, the pickpocllet.
Against this last there is no protection.
Ii the piclzpoclcet is persistent he will
get your pocketbooll. ALI that the
average person can do is to minimize
the chances of success of this species of
crime. -'
Chicago is now suffering from this
class of criminal. The city offers a
splendid field for him-crowds are ever
present, and q crowd is necessity to
him. The packed street cars give ex-
c2llent opportunity to the thief, and
every evening, when the great throngs
of workers are homeward bound or
when the shoppers are returning after
their days forage, these picllpCckets do
their greatest work. They seem to
work the city in pairs and appear to
have an understanding with each other
50 that one set does not encroach on the
territory of another. They board a
crowded car. There is pushing and a
tugging and little confusion, and they
jump off, while moment later the pas
senger finds a purse missing. Women
are the easiest victims-Ghcir purses, arc
50 exposed and the chances of detection
are SO slight.
These pi skpockets work from cas- to
cars and their depredations are some
thing enormous They are, strangers 10
tic ,ocal 7 olice and in consequence run
little IL any risk. The only protector,
50 far, has been the vigilance of street
car conductors The passengers, not
being warned by the police, are careless
and need to be Urged to exercise eau
ton. So frequent have become the
complaints lately that Che police now
watch the street cars at all the down
town corners in hopes Of capturing the
many pictpoclsets.
"There is only one word of advice
would give Chicagoan," said o central
station detective: "Hang on to your
poclSetbooks."

MADE THEIR OWN GRAVES.

Children SuGocased In q CIoset-The
( whole City Turned Ont TO search
for Them-Ths Door Had been Ac-
seidentally Closed.
NxpSoRD, Mass, July 28.-At $50 the
FIRE bells rang out, calling citizens to
search for four children who have been
missing since about II .. m. They were
Blanche Barrows, aged four, daughter of
William E. Bsrrows Thatcher street;
Roland Cushing. aged Eve, son of Walter
F. Gushing. Magoun avenue; Eddie Ran
dali, aged ave, son of z. P. Randall,
Lapham street, and Albert Lewis, aged
ak, son of T. A. Lewis, Cushing street.
The parents and few friends began the
search In the early afternoon, and the
police of Maiden and Medford were notifi-
cd and began the search. After the bells
rang some 800 citizens turned with lanterns
and secured the woods in every direction.
At $50 the bells rang out the signal that
the children had bean found, but they did
not bring the tidings that many supposed
they would, for all were dead but the Bar
rows child. The others had died of suffo-
cation. They were in closet under Q
sink In s-houss In process of construction
In Lapham street, where they had crswled
some time during the day, and the door
was either pulled to by them or shut in
some way. When found the little girl
was slowly sinking, and had the discovery
of their whereabouts been delayed q little
longer none of the quartette would have
been alive.

Another Attempt to Escape From q
Boston PrisOn-The Alarm Given In
Time.
BosroN, July 2S.-Auother attempt,
this time unsuccessful, was made by con-
victs to escape from state prison this fore
noon. Seven men were concerned in the
scheme, which seems to have been put
into operation on, the spur of the moment.
rather than to have been long deliberated
upon. just before II O'Clock these seven
men Individually sought permits to see the
prison physician, which was granted them.
On examination, however, the physician
could discover nothing that would warrant
him in laying them of, and they were told
to 60 back to the shops. They departed
together and at once a whispered consult
alton took place between them. An iron
jack that some time ago had been used
about the prison buildings and which had
mysteriously disappeared was suddenly
produced by the convicts and then they
made sdesperate attempt to force with 1t
the bars of window overlooking the
| prison grounds. Hhe men were all deter
mined and worked with will, but the
alarm was quickly given and before their
attempts had succeeded they we're over
powered and placed once more in their
| cells
