HE WARMED UP.
The Bank President Lost That Chilly
Feeling Very Suddenly.

The Bank President Lost That Chilly
Feeling Very Suddenly.
A well-known contractor walked
into bank in this city the other day
to cash check for forty dollars, says
the Washington Post. The paying teller
looked at the check few minutes,
then counted out four hundred dollars,
and handed it to the contractor, who,
although he noticed the error, said not
a word, but rolled up the bills and
wadded them down into his pocket.
This happened in the morning, and
about two o'clock the same afternoon,
before the officials of the bank had an
opportunity to discover the error, the
contractor walked into the Office of the
president of the bank.
SIS this bank responsible for the
errors of it's clerks?" he asked the pres
ident.
eff it can be proved that any of our
clerks have erred" replied the presi-
dent, in very chilly manner, 1--WE will
make the correction"
''Well, nobody saw this error made
but myself" continued the contractor,
land my word ought to be sufficient
proof, think"
81 am sorry, SIR" said the bank pres
ident, ''but we shall have to have adj
ditional proof. We require this in order
to protect ourselves; that is all"
Every well, SIR" replied the con-
tractor, rising to leave. 81 am sorry [
cannot furnish what you demand. The
error I referred to was the payment of
four hundred dollars for check that
called for only forty dollars; but, as
no one saw me receive the extra three
hundred and sixty dollars, L suppose
you will not want to correct the mis-
take. Good day. sir"
''Hold on! Come back!' shouted the
bank president, who by this time was
very .wide-awake to the abyss to which
he had been led.
The matter was soon adjusted salts
factorily, and now when any person
reports an error at that bank the first
question asked is: Gin whose favor?'

ACTIVE VOLCANOES.
Burning Mountains of South and Central
America That Do Deadly Work.

Burning Mountains of South and Central
America That Do Deadly Work.
The volcano of Abina, in Peru, which
for century and half had been con-
sidered extinct, suddenly awoke from
it's long sleep the other day and began
pouring forth lava, smoke and ashes in
such quantities as to obscure the sun
up to the date of the last report, says
Panama correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press.
Together with this news comes an
account of remarkably severe earth
quakes in Ecuador that shook the
whole Pacific slope and extended far
into the interior. A series of rapid,
violent shocks continued one minute
and some seconds. 1t created the
greatest terror in Guayaquil, where at
every convulsion it appeared as though
the pile-built structures must go over.
However, no damage to speak of oc-
Cured there, but several accounts OF
disasters had arrived from the in
terror. At Canar seven families and
their homes are known to have been
swallowed up by the earth. One Gu
rious incident at Guayaquil was the
bursting open of the doors of the peni-
tertiary. Many convicts escaped be-
fore the demoralized guards could pull
themselves together to prevent it.
Then the guards fred Unfortunately
on the prisoners, those fleeing from
crumbling walls as well as those es-
Gaping. The city waterworks were so
damaged that water famine was i'm
minent. This series of shocks was felt
over an area of eighty thousand square
miles. At almost the same time Coto-
paxi and Turgurahua burst forth in
such a terrible activity as has not
characterized them during the last
two centuries. The South American
volcanoes frequently ravage their i'm
mediate neighborhood, but it is be-
lieved here is another instance that
they are safety valves that render the
continent habitable.
Reports of unusual volcanic activity
all along the line of the continental
backbone have been coming in since
the beginning of the year, and those
more recently to hand indicate a
steadily increasing disturbance Alarm
ing accounts arrived last week
from Mexico of the condition of
Colima, which, pouring forth vast
volumes of lava and a regular bonn
bardment of rocks and ashes, had sent
the people of Jalisco fleeing in terror
from their houses. Only a few months
ago dispatches from Chilli and Peru
told of fierce outbursts among the
volcanoes of the southern Andes, and,
later yet, of the seismic disturbance in
the volcanic region of Cauca, in
Colombia, by which an entire mountain
ridge was swallowed up and deep de-
preston left, while elsewhere in that
same region two rivers were buried by
the side of a mountain tumbling into
the valley.

A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.

The proposition to build a Jail at
Gila Bend is one which the board of SUI
pervisors ought to consider favorably in
the interest of public economy. No
other outlying precinct of the county is
SO remote from the county seat and in
no other, outside of Phoenix, are 60
many persons convicted of misde-
meanors.
Hardly a week passes in which the
constable from that precinct does not
bring one or more prisoners to the
county jail to serve terms varying from
ten to fifty days. 1t is sometimes
necessary to make two trips a week.
At anv rate, in case full week elapses
without contribution from Gila Bend,
it is feared at the sheriff's Office that
the constable of that stirring precinct is
i'll and unable to travel.
The official distance between ella
Bend and Phoenix is " miles, so that
the expense in mileage alone of bring
ing prisoner to jail is $23.1O. Other
legal expenses swell the cost to about
$50. 1t is safe to estimate the transpor-
tation for year of ella Bend prisoners
at about $4,000. We do not know of any
other investment within the power of
the supervisors to make which will
yield 80 large dividend to the county
as the saying of this sum. A pleasing
feature of it too, as an investment, is
that it will grow more profitable year
by year with the growth of Gila Bend,
whose criminal element may be ex-
pected to increase in some ratio
with the rapidly increasing population
of that thrifty town.
1t is needless to add that the above
glowing prospectus of this investment
is based on the established theory that
penny saved is penny earned, to say
nothing of the advantage of acquiring
economical public habits.

TOLD OF HARRISON,
GOOD Stories Ress~~ing to Chicago's Mur
dceNu Mayor.


do<rd Mayor.
Carter H. Harrison, the late MAYOR
of the city of Chicago, was a great
talker. He talked to everybody-any-
body. He talked about everything. He
had Travelled and seen much. He was
unlike Bayard Taylor, of whom Baron
Humboldt said: He has travelled more
and seen less than any man 1 ever
saw"
BY the way, when Mr.. Harrison trav-
eled in Europe in 1851 he was in Mr.
Iaylor's company. They were in
Asia Minor together. Mr. Taylor had
not mentioned the fact in his book,
but Mr.. Harrison told it often enough,
so that it makes no difference
When Mr.. Harrison was in England,
on that trip, he walked most of the
time. lie slept out, and mingled with
everybody. He sat down to eat at the
table OF noblemen one day, and he ate
in their kitchen the next. This was
fancy of his, and he liked it.
Coming from the fighting stock he
did, his own nature being of the ag-
gressive sort, he was, nevertheless. op-
posed to the dueling system. On one
occasion he expected to be called out.
He had personal difficulty with a
young blood about girl. He used a
chair and the blood used knife. The
latter was disarmed. Young Harrison
expected to hear further from him,
and went home, where he con-
suited a colored boy, his servant,
about the chances for a fight. The
colored boy gave lurid description of
the young blood's ability to cut a
string at any distance with pistol
ball Young Harrison was good rifle
shot. He took his gun and servant out
into a forest to practice. A sapling
was selected as the opposing party
The colored boy took his place as a
second. He gave the word, and the
crack of the rifle rang through the
woods. Young Harrison dropped the
rifle and, with his second, rushed to
the target. He had buried bullet in
the place marked for the antagonists
heart. The darby showed his ivcries,
and ordered another shot. The prac-
tice continued until the darby declared
that the bullets were being driven out
at the other side of the sapling.
EFF you shoot dat way at white
man, Massa Catah, you'll be president
of the United States some day. suah. !"
The challenge never came. There is
suspicion that the darby notified the
young blood of "Massa Catah's'' unerr-
ing aim.

THE USE OF PAPER MONEY.
Common to Nearly All Civilized Countries
Issues in Various Nations.


Almost, if not quite, all civilized
countries use paper money to facilitate
payments within their own jurisdic-
tions, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The United States uses paper
money to a greater extent than any
other country, and in notes of smaller
denomination than any other country
of equal Importance. All of our paper
bills except the gold certificates are in
the denominations of 81, So, SIS, $40, $40,
$780, 500, $500 and 81, 1000; our gold GER
tificates do not appear in denomina-
tions less than $40. The Dominion of
Canada issues 81 and So notes, and
various banks issue notes varying from
SIS to $1,000. Mexico issues paper
money of 10 pesos and upward and the
South American states issue paper of
similar denominations. The Bank of
England issues all English notes in de-
nominations of e5, e1O, e2O, ESQ, e10O,
e200, $500, $500 and 81 900. The banks
of Scotland and Ireland issue notes of
81 and upward. The Bank of France
issues notes for so francs, 100, 200, 500
and LOCO francs. The Bank of Belgium
issues notes of 20 francs and upward
Italian banks issue notes of 1 lire and
upward to 1000 lire. The Bank of
Germany puts out notes for marks
and upward to 1000 marks. Austria
issues notes of gulden and upward.
Russia is the only European country
which issues government notes, it's
paper money being of the denomina-
ton of 1 ruble and upward. Sweden,
Norway and Denmark issue by their
banks notes for krone, 10, 25, so and
100 krone. India does not issue paper
money, nor does China now. japan
provides paper money of 1 yen, 2, 5, 10,
20 and 100 yens, and the other countries,
as rule, issue paper money, the low
est denomination of which is usually
ten times the value of the coined unit
of value

Abolishing One Curse of the Orient.

The maharajah of Mysore has de-
cided, if possible, to put an end to
marriages between children, or rather
infants in his kingdom. He issued an
order recently forbidding girls under
eight years and boys under fourteen to
marry. In the future no man aged
fifty or more dare wed girl under
fourteen. The edict has aroused much
opposition in Mysore, but the ruler is
said to be an energetic man and capa-
BILE of executing regulations which he
is pleased to promulgate.

ring instead to take out of ordinary cir
culation all the money that $4,000, 600
in bonds will buy, more than ever en-
forces a conclusion of the truth that
silver has come to be a commodity
whose price is only less uncertain than
the price of hogs, corn, or any other
product, in that it is most likely to be
constantly descending until its produc-
ton has ceased altogether or until slow
consumption has increased the demand.

STATEHOOD NOTICE.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting
Arizona passed the house of representatives by
a very large majority, and the further fact that
the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early
admission, we concluded that it was unneces-
sary to re-convene the statehood convention
This conclusion has been submitted to various
of the committees of the convention and they
have all concurred therein.
We therefore announce that the meeting of
the statehood convent IN that was to have been
held on January IL, 1894, is indefinitely post
poned.

Smith, OF New Haven, Conn, and grad
usted in medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence among his
professional brethren. In 1895 he was
elected to the professorship OF anatomy
and surgery in the Vermont university.
In 1s4l he was appointed lecturer on
msterla medca and medical botany In
Dartmouth college. The next year he
was chosen professor OF the chair then
vacated by Prot. Robby, and occupied
the chair, the most important in the
country, until few years before his
death ia 1880.
He had for years foreseen the dangers
OF the American way OF living. He
