How They Are Issued by the Clear

Modern Methods That Facilitate the Bush
ness of the Banlrs-Tmportance of the
Clearing House In Times of Financial
Stringency. 9 III a
The commercial banks Of large cities
could not get along at all without their
clearing houses, for the abolition of
these useful institutions would necessi-
tate return to the old messenger sys-
TEN, under which banks had to send
every check received from depositor to
the bank on which it was drawn and
have it settled in cash. The system
was cumbersome and slow, and it fire.
quently happened that even banks en-
ploying large corps of messengers
could not make all their settlements in
one day. This, meant serious loss as well
as Inconvenience, for the delay involved
loss of interest, and to overcome these
drawbacks the clearing house system
was devised. Under this system two men
for each bank accomplish in a few min
utes the work that used to keep small
army of messengers running about town
for an entire day. Fs
But this is not the only business of
the clearing house nor that by which it
has attained its greatest Importance in
the eyes of the people, an Importance
largely magnifed by recent events. Be-

Before its passage, yesterday, the bank
ing bin of Senator Cashel was amened, at
the suggestion of Mr.. Gregory, 40 as to
place the power of appointing receiver
in the hands of the district court, where
alone it belongs, instead of the public ex-
aminer, as proposed. The two senators
are very we'll fitted by their attainments
in their respective professions, the one to
pass upon the practical utility of such q
measure, the other upon its value from q
legal standpoint. As passed, the bill puts
the Law relative to state banks in excellent
shape, furnishing valuable safeguards
about system which is already regarded
with admiration in much older commun

was booked as one of the main perform
ers, was sick in bed. but was represented
by good alternate, as one could see when
the farce of the base ball game was enact
ed. A Ayoung gent appeared on the stage
with bandaged black eye, arm in sing
and right leg somhthing in shape Of an s

lowed by short performance by home

no chance for the critic to ply hia pen.
The entire program will be reproduced at

and by dint of 4 liberal bride we set
about to bury the yellow-slkinned old
rascal. He was not a very lovable
object, and would have about as little

as any human being ever saw. but
felt like an accessory to a murder as we

gathered together and sent for the

The house of commons now scruples

In early times It indulged in holiday
upon occasions which modern readers
must consider still more strangely mad
equate. Horace Walpole mentions in
his memoirs that in March, 1851, the
house adjourned to attend at Drury
Lane7theater, where Othello was to be
acted by Mr.. Delaval and his family.
Again, in February, 1881, bill intro
duccd by Mr.. Burke, with reference to
the civil list, was read first time; but
the second reading was deferred to that
day fortnight. because the 21st was to
be IL feast day, and the 22d was the ben
efitof Nine. Vestris, the favorite French
dancer ut the opera"
Even when in session, says Cham
bers' Journal, the house was much
given to amuse itself with petty or friv-
olous incidents, as is shown by some
singular entries preserved in the official
records. Under date May, 1904, it is
noted that Il jaclzCaw flew in at the
wiHdow. This was considered ominous,
and apparently it proved bad omen
for the bill in debate, as the measure
was soon afterward rejected. Again, we
are told by the veracious state chron-
lcler that in May, 1914, 90 dog came
into the house, strange spaniel,
mouse-colored."
About one hundred and seventy years
later it is recorded that another canine
intruder entered the house, taking his
seat before the speaker and all the gov
ernment. Not content to remain 4 ST.
lent spectator, the dog joined in the
proceedings by barking loudly. Lord
North, then prime minister, was speak
ing, and jocularly appealed to the
speaker, saying: "Sir, am interrupted
by a new member" The dog, I'M
abashed, did not take the hint, but re-
sumed his barking, whereupon the
good-humored premier kept up the joke,
protesting that "the new member had
no right to speak twice in the same de-
bate" In much more recent times al
most equally trifling episodes have been
known to relieve nightly the tedium
of political contention.

RUN OVER BY 4 TRAIN.

Cut Or At Cush. ; IT,
-. 49,. ing.

This morning six tramps at cush-
ing attempted to board No 50, u
west bound freight train, while it
was in motion. Three of them sue
ceeded in getting on. And one of
the three who failed, John Brady,
who says his home is in Chicago,
was thrown around and under the
train 50 that one of the trucks passed
over his legs cutting one off. and
breaking the other and nearly sever
hight. He was also injured .in,the
back of the head. The morning
passenger going east picked him up
and brought him to this city, where
he was taken in charge by the city
relief committee who had him taken
to the hospital. DR.. Trace and Aid
erman Butler were at the station
and attended to him.
Brady died at about 2:30 this after
noon at the hospital. An effort was
made to save the poor mans life but
he was too badly mangled to re-
cover. Alderman Butler at 3 O'Clock
was making arrangements to have
him buried this afternoon.
