Destroyed His Discovery on Learning
That IA Might Stimulate Fraud.
DIR. j. II. Barnnm, the well-known
chemist Of Louisville, is the man who
invented the celebrated ink eraser
which caused so much talk several
years ago. in an interview with a
Memphis Appeal-Ayalanche reporter
recently he gave the follow ing inter
esting facts:
when ] first got my ink eraser
complete thought my fortune was
made, but soon discovered that IL
was SO conducive to crime that sup
pressed its sale and have always
kept the secret to myself / suppose
IL will die with me. This eraser
could positively remove all traces OF
ink from ank kind of paper.
] remember one man who wrote a
letter to the Courier-Jonrnal, telling
them he did not believe the account
which they had published of the
eraser Some Of the men in the Cour-
Ter journal took some OF my erasing
fluid and wiped all the ink out OF his
letter, except the signature A check
for 500 was then written above
tho signature. and they went TO the
bank and got the money. In a short
time after It's introduction several
crimes in Louisville. as we'll as else
where had been committed
by the aid OF the eraser,
and when well-known young
man in Louisville perpetrated fraud
upon his firm by its use and went TO
California. ! then determined never

been stolen. and the holders OF bonds
in the community got in the habit OF
writing their names across the face OF
their bonds. and also statement that
the bonds were not good unless in
dorsed But when they wanted TO dis
pose Of these bonds they found that
nobody would buy them with the writ
ing across the face. They came 70 me

agreement that II any traces OF ink
or the fluid were left ] was to buy

OF them. The act Of forgery itself is
very easy TO accomplish, but the per-
petrator nearly always gets caught
in the end. This so.called safety
paper which is now being extensively
manufactured. is no protection. The
ink lines on this safety paper, which
fade away as soon as they are
touched by any chemical. can be put
back very easily A stone for this
purpose can be engraved for $40"

had fallen due would not be sufficient
under our statute But being of the
opinion that as a matter Of law upon
uDdisputed evidence the notice Of the
notary was a sufficient presentation
OF the claim under the probate sta
| tute, the Jury wore bound to find a
verdict for the plaintiff upon this,
/ without considering the "memoran-
dunn" sent by Hustace. Even though
the trial Judge may have instructed
/ the jury enormously on some points,
| new trial should not be granted,
! because on the whole case as matter
] Of Law the verdict must have been as
rendered, or be set aside. 4 new tr; al
| could not result In different verdict.
The defendants asked the following
instruction (No. 81: "The plaintiffs
! cannot recover of the executors de-
PENDANT unless they show that de
| mand was made on the last day of
grace aud within bank hours of the
proper officer at the bank of Bishop
IL Co. for payment OF the note, TO be
made Of II. H. Williams 6 Go. 1t is not
sufficient if demand was made for
payment of c.. f. Williams, as sue
cessor of II. II. Williams Il Co. and
if no demand was made except for
payment of &. L. Williams, the exec
utors of J. a. Wood cannot be held
liable"
This was given as above except the
UNDERSIGNED portio1-''t0 be made by II.
II. Williams d Co.. The question raised
is whether demand should have been
made at the bank upon the maker.
"Where the bill designates place
of payment, and it is accepted gen.
orally, it will be sufficient to demand
payment at such place without max
ing a personal demand on the &C
ceptor." Rand. Com. Paper, Sec.
lib.
eff bill be made payable at
particular place, it is not necessary
to state presentment to the accept
or there; it is sufficient to state
a presentment at that place" Byles
on Bills, p. 21S, and numerous Eng
Hsh cases there cited.
Whatever difference there may be
in the cases, as to the necessity of a
demand at the place specified, it is
perfectly clear that, SO far as place
is concerned, presentment there by
the holder is always sufficient" l
Parsons, n. & B. p 434 ed. of 1862
Fullerton V. Bank, Pet. GOA.
Brent's Exor. V. Bank, id. SO.
Upon authority therefore it was
not necessary to have demanded pay |
ment personally of FL. I'll. Williams &
Co., the makers; the demand at the
bank was sufficient.
The last exception is to the Circuit
Courts refusing new trial on the
ground of surprise, in that since the
trial it has been found that the
furnished by Hustace
was dated Aug. ID, '92, prior to de-
PENDANTS notice to creditors and
prior to their receiving letters tesla
IN .ntary. But this memorandum
was in possession of the defendants
all the while and should have been
produced by them at the trial and
therefore there was no surprise In
law, and as we have seen above, there
was another valid presentment of the
claim upon which the jury were en-
titled to find their verdict, and so
new trial is not allowable.
Exceptions overruled.

and dispose of her wares at the high

Bridge Construction OH Kauai.

Mr.. w. E. Rowell, Superintend-
ent of Public Works, spent several
days at Wailua, Kauai, last week,
inspecting the work on the new
iron bridge now being built at that
place to replace the old wooden
bridge which was washed away
several years ago. The new bridge
is to be $50 feet long, made up of
three spans of 120 feet each. The
walk which is also of iron will be
II feet wide, while the iron trusses
are to be 10 feet high. The piers
and buttments have been put in
place, and the iron materials for
putting up the bridge are on the
spot waiting for people from the
Honolulu Iron Works to put them
together in their proper places.
The Waimea bridge on the same
island is $40 feet long, made up of
nine spans. Since the Wailua
bridge was carried away a scow
has been used to convey people
across the stream. Scows are also
used on the Kalihiwai, Hanalei,
Wainiha and Lumahai streams, on
the same island.
