to take decisive action on important meas
ures. After prayer by the chaplain
number of members were on their feet ask
ing Tor corrections in the Record and Jour
nal. Most of these directed toward the
roll cali in the Record, which was incor-
rectly printed by the printing office.
Reed of Maine made sarcastic remark:
am glad to notice that this multiplicity of
errors which has apparently occurred in this
congress is not an evidence of obliquity. as 10
has been in some congresses. ILaughterl
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the private calendar. Three
hours were consumed in consideration of
the bill for the relief of personal repre-
sentatives of Henry II. Sibley, the in
ventor of the Sibley tent, but no determi-
nation was reached. The committee hav-
ing risen, the House adjourned, the even
ing session being dispensed with.

THE PAINESvILLE BANK FRAUDS.
President Steel in Jail for Forgery and
Cashier Paige o Fugitive.


CLEVELAND, March 25.-Today's develop
ments of the Painesvile bank failure are
startling. Forged paper to the amount of
100000 was discovered, and P. X. Paige,
the head of the bank, is missing The
forged notes had been placed in various
banks. Seven thousand dollars left at the
bank week ago by the Fairport Dock
Company to pay its men are missing, and
the men have not received a cent.
Paige is believed to have gone to
New York. The assignees say the
liabilities will amount to over
100000. Steps will be taken to prevent
Paige from leaving the country. Paige
came to this city last week and cashed a
81, 500 bogus draft on New York He en-
deavored to obtain 5000 more, but failed.
Attorneys announce that Paige has been
located, but decline to tell his where
abouts.
Horace Steel. president of the bank, was
arrested tonight on charge of indorsing
a forged note. The note Is signed by J.
r. Erwin. manager of the Pennsylvania
and Lake Erie Dock Company, who de-
clares it forgery. Both Steel and Paige
Endorsed it. A warrant has undoubtedly
been issued for Paige also. and he is sup
posed to be in gainesville, but could not
be found.
FLORENCE, Mass, March 25.-A run on
the Florence savings bank was started to-
day by rumors of an embarrassment grow
ing out of the recent tack company failure,

ton is perfect.

vance of corporations and crush out
trusts; heavy specific taxes upon

bacco; for a graduated income tax; en-
actment of stringent laws to prevent food
adulteration and to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of oleomargarine, etc.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-Henry ].
Smith, stonecutter, who had been in
du!ging in liquor for some days past, COM
mitted suicide today by cutting his throat
Smith first made the attempt in the din
ing-room of his boarding house, but was
elected from the house by the landlany
and storekeeper who was attracted by
their cries. Smiths strange actions on
the sidewalk attracted a large crowd, who
followed him to vacant lot, where, before
he could be seized, he cut his throat from
ear to ear, dying Immediately. He was 40
years of age, and at one time worked in
Spokane Letters from number of work
men at that place were found on his body

Notwithstanding his recent illness. The
other members were all present. Secre-
taries Foster and Tracy held a conference
prior to the meeting, presumably with re-
gard to orders to the naval and revenue
vessels assigned for duty in patroiling the
sealing grounds. 1t is practically settled
that the warships Charleston, Baltimore,
Boston, Yorktown, Adams, Ranger and
Mohican. and the revenue vessels Corwin,
Bear, Rush and Albatross will be assigned
to this duty. 1t is understood that de-
cision was reached that the government
await the reply of Lord Salisbury to the
presidents last note before proceeding on
the assumption that the English govern
OF protection of the sealing industry.
The navy department authorities hardly
know how far to go in the line of extraor-
binary preparations until the international
correspondence with reference to the Ber-
ing sea dispute bears a more conclusive
aspect. Meanwhile, although the navy
officials concede that our relations with
Great Britain are decidedly strained, few
OF them in reality expect that actual hos
tilities will arise. 1t is also pointed out
by naval experts that it will hardly be the
policy of the department to concentrate a
heavy force of vessels in Bering sea. for
even if hostilities should be precipitated
by the exchange of shots in those waters,
the war would not be fought there, but
nearer home.

PROMMlSSORY NOTEG.

There Are Five Essential Legal Elements
in Negotiable Paper.
There are five essential elements to
the legal validity of negotiable draft,
note or check:
First-It must be payable in money;
that is, gold, silver Or green backs, pos
sibly also in United States currency, not
in any kind of merchandise. Thus a
note payable in one hundred calves"
has been decided to be invalid.
2. 1t must be payable without any
contingency or uncertainty. A note
promising to pay lone thousand dollars
out of the proceeds of ore to be raised
and sold from any mine" is invalid. But
particular fund may be designated, as
81 promise to pay out of the estate of
b., deceased"
3. 1t must be payable at certain
specltied time-a time certain to arrive
note payable to A. b., when he is
twenty-one years of age" is not good,
Tor he may not live TO be twenty-one,
and so the time is not certain to arrive.
But a note payable ION demand" is
held to be good, for demand is in the
nature OF things certain to be made at
some time. The owner of such a note
would not possess common sense if he
never demanded payment.
4. 1t must be payable to the order of
certain party therein named, or else
payable to bearer. Otherwise it is not
negotiable, although as simple writ
ten contract it is good between the
maker and the person to whom it is
payable. But it is not capable of in
1orsement unless the words ''order" or
bearer" appear.
5. The amount payable must be speci-
lied and certain. A note for one hun
bred dollars with interest," is good, be-
cause the interest can be calculated
and thus certainly ascert1ined, but a
note reading: PAY one hundred or
two hundred dollars is not good. -

DANGER IN DUST,
1t is Il Potent Agency in the Spread of Di


1t Is Il Potent Agency in the Spread of Dis
ease.
OF all the agencies in the spread 81
what are called germ diseases" dr st is
perhaps the most potent. The pee .lliar
dangers of the month of March are due
not merely to the high winds then prev.
alent, but to the dust with which the
wind pollutes the air at that season.
Inorganic dust, that is, dust composed
of nothing but pulverized earth, is not
Of itself very harmful. Thus coal miners
are not especially prone to lung dis
eases, though working in coal-dust con-
stantly. Dust. however, as found in the
streets of our cities and towns, is large
~ made up of organic matter. Such
dust, If not cf itself largely composed of
germs, still furnishes an excellent lurll-
ing place for them.
Not all germs are harmful or genera
tive OF inflammation: but, on the other
hand, some of the germs most harmful
to human life are constantly to be found
where street dust is abundant When
we lnhale dust, therefore, we undoubt-
edly inhale many germs, or bacteria,
which may or may not find lodging
place within u.s.
Some germs thus inhaled in dust dc
not at all affect the health: but on the
other hand, others, should they find
lodging-place in the body, would mani
fest their presence by pronounced
symptoms.
1t is almost needless to sayS,that the
mucous membrane of the nose is a much
safer place for the reception of dust
than that of the lungs, and we should
therefore keep the mouth closed when
we are forced to inhale dust.
Germs coming in contact with 4.
part OF the mucous membrane which is
already infiamed are especially liable
to multiply as they then have peculiar
~ favorable conditions of heat and
moisture. Hence the special Importance
of avoiding dust as much as possible
when one is suffering from any acute
or chronic catarrhal conditions of the
organs.
1t is well to remember that dust
cloths slightly moistened, and after
ward shaken out of doors, are much
more sanitary than feather-dusters, the
use OF which drives the dust from one
location only to- settle upon another

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The brief ses-
sion of the house yesterday was devoted
to completing the consideration of the
public printing bill, which was finally
passed with the sections establishing q
superintendent of documents eliminated.
The practice which prevailed during
last session of filling The Record with a
large amount of miscellaneous matter
was somewhat checked when Mr.. Kill
gore dem, Texl objected to the request
Of Mr.. Wise Dem, Va. that memorial
regarding the Nicaragua canal be
printed. When Mr.. Kilgore finally CON
sented, Mr.. Stone Dem, Ky.) renewed
the objection and the memorial will not
be printed. The decision of the house
not to consider the private calendar was
followed by an agreement that no ses-
sion should be held at night for the con-
sideration of private pension bills. At
1:40 the house adjourned until Monday.
