GROSS sWINDLEs CATCH THEM,
Sank TelIers and Others Who Constantly

Sank TelIers and Others Who Constantly
 Handle Money in Large Sums.
 Men who handle money in large sums habitually are popularly supposed to be very careful. The contrary is fre- quently the case. The auditor of one of the great express companies recently told reporter how the teller of one of the big New York banks was swindled out of fifty dollars by barefaced de- ception. The express company had issued large number of money orders for advertising purposes. They were much reduced in size, and had printed on their face in bold red letters the words: Miniature Fac Smile. Not Good" They were all filled out, hay ing been Autographed, and the name of the fictitious ''payee" was also in- dorsed on the back. A casual glance would tell an ordinarily careful observer that they were merely advertisements, intended to show how money orders looked when ready for payment, even If the caution in red letters had not been there. Yet when man boldly walked into the bank referred to, wrote his own name below the Autographed in dorsement, and asked to have the ''money order" cashed, the teller un- hesitatingly handed over the fifty dol lars. Nor did he discover the mistake unaided, but sent the advertisement to the express company for collection.
 "We find the men in financial. institr- tions constantly making mistakes quite as ridiculous as that" said the auditor. Nearly every week checks without signatures, or with improper indorse- ments, are presented to us for payment, after they have passed without detee- tion through banks and clearing houses l suppose the bank officials get careless through constant handling of money obligations. From our own experience should judge that they must be badly stuck at times. I imagine they keep such errors pretty quiet. "-N. Y. Sun.

IDEAL TROUT FISHING.
The Preservation OF Game-Our Con-
Recticut Preserves.

The Preservation of Game-Our Con-
Recticut Preserves.
The enforcement of the "close season"
and other laws for the preservation of game
have resulted in the restocking of large
territories in upper New York, Canada,
Maine and elsewhere, and now in these
places more deer and other large game can
be found than ever before, while small
game and game-fsh abound proportionste-
ly. How many streams have been stocked
with trout in Connecticut in the last five
or six years 1t would be hard to tell, but the
number is large, while private preserves
are numerous where trout are plenty, fat,
too lazy to rise to fly and are caught with
net. This Is not ideal trout fishing any
more than it would be ideal hunting to drive
deer into pound and go at them with a
machine gun, but for the purposes of the
market the trout preserve has its uses. In
some of the Adirondack reservations there
is more game, large and small, than ever
before eincs the woods were hunted, and
there are only fewer of those wild animals
not strictly game" but simply fers ma
tur@. It is astonishing how quickly q
portion of natural woodland will become
retocked with its original denizens If left
undisturbed for time, for there Is little
in the trend of unaided nature that makes
for civilization or the elimination of wild
ness. The grsvitation of all things not
human is to uncivilized conditions, and it
ia only the constant effort of man that pre-
vents the universal prevalence of what is
seeming disorder. Although ruled by laws
as rigid and immutable as any which gov
ho oon1ifioy,o oS nj,
seems to be without rule or purpose and
with no certain ends, and its quick reas-
sertion of itself, the moment the restrain
ing hand is removed, knows no exception.
The habit of nature Is never changed BY
cultivation in that respect, she prefers
wildness and relspses into it at every
chance Bridgeport Standard.

success after q church social last week.
The night was dark and stormy, and his
victims were numerous. He is very care
full not to harm anyone, and those who
have been annoyed by him say that his
method is to approach them from behind
and suddenly throwing his arms about
them hold them close for moment or
two. Often he is not satisfied with an en-
brace, but attempts to kiss his Victim. He
Is described as short, thick set man with
red face and light moustache. He
wears a light everooat and q derby hat.
The citizens are making great effort to
catch him, and they threaten to deal sum

CoNNRCr1cUT OYSTERS.

The Storm Buries Them In the Sand,
Causing a Loss OF Half a Million
Dollars-New Haven oyster Dealers
Lose but About twenty-five Thou.
sand Dollars.
According to reports received here from
the various oyster growing districts along
the Connecticut coast the entire oyster
crop was very badly damaged by the
severe storm which passed over Long
Island sound Thursday night and Friday
morning. The oyster growers In this city,
Milford, Stratford, Bridgeport, Stamford,
Greenwich and Darien all report that 1t
was the most disastrous storm since they
have been In the oyster trade. D. G. San
ford, @. E., of this city, until recently the
civil engineer of the state shell fish COM
mission, who had occasion to communicate
with the growers in the places above
mentioned, estimated the loss at half q
| million of dollars. He reports that the
| oyster beds are under from two to siz
inches Of sand. At Milford the steam
dredger belonging to W. N. Merwir
went out and where they could
catch 1000 bushels OF oysters II
| two and one-half hours before the STOW
they were unable to catch 200 bushels In tel
hours. The action of the water 1t seems
| has washed a heavy layer of sand over tn
oysters, making it almost impossible Il
dregs them, and unless they work them
selves out they will die. The storm ha
been particularly disastrous to the sex
oyster trade, which has been PRACTICAL.
abandoned in many districts. This trade
which is the most profitable in the bust
ness, will be an utter failure. 1t had barrel
begun.
At Milford and the surrounding distric
it was estimated that 200, 600 bushels o
oyster eeed would be sold this season
About 10000 bushels have been dispose
of 30 far, and fifteen large buyers tha
were lying at the docks with their vessel
have returned home empty. The oyste
cay that 1t will take several years to g
their beds in the condition they were
before the storm.
The latest advises show that the storm

suffered the least. Nevertheless the Ne
