"Men try in every way possible"
said prominent bank president, "to
obtain the signatures Of the New York
bankers.
"Their object is evidently to use
them in committing forgeries. At
least we suspect so, and for that rea-
son try to be as careful as possible in
signing letters.
"In this bank we have many letters
from the West Of such trivial nature
that we suspect an ulterior motive
upon the part Of the writers, and if we
answer them at all do so by typewriter,
even to the signature.
Zone forger or counterfeiter in
Indiana is exceedingly systematic and
persistent in his efforts to obtain the
signatures of our officers. AS regu'
larry as the year comes around he
writes, inclosing $40 bill, and re.
quests us to send him one of our new
$40 bank notes in exchange.
''He always gives the same reason
for the request-that he wants it fol
his collection Of course that il
nonsense. We believe that he wants
a new bill so that he may discover il
we have changed our officers and gel
their signatures.
"He never does get them though
We always return his bill with type
written letter on paper containing NJ
names, excusing ourselves on the
ground that we have no circulation
outstanding" "-Ne,o York Herald.

A Long Chance.

One afternoon as I rode along up the
Glover Fork Of the Cumberland river,
/ came to very comfortable-looking
house of three or four rooms. A wo-
man was hanging out clothes in the
yard, and hailed her.
"I'm going on up the river" said l,
"and I'll be back this way about 8
O clock. Can I stay here all night 2"
''I reckon you might, mebbe,' she
replied, coming to the fence, "but l
ain t so shore"
"Why not 2 I wouldn' t trouble you,
but I'm in hurry ando1 want to get
as far on my way back tonight as |
can" said I, persuasively.
fWell," she hesitated, eve hahn t
but the front room fer strangers, an
that s kinder bespoke fer tonight. y
"Why can't I divide with the other
fellow ?" I venturea.
"'Tain't that. They amt nobody
goin' ter sleep thar"
'.Then let me have it." l urged.
The woman's hospitable soul was
''Iokee here, mister, - she said con-
fdentially, as she stretched her neck
across the fence so I could catch her
lowered tones, ''I'll leave it to you
whether you'll come er not. You see,
it's Bill Digginses night to court my
darter Sary Angeline; and they allus

"But why can't I take it after MIR.

She shook her head doubtfully.

Corsets Worse than Bum.

KINGSTON, N. Y, March 18,-At
the semi-annual convention Of the
Ulster County Women's Christian
Temperance Union, just closed, the
hundreds of fashionably dressed wo-
men ir attendance as delegates and
visitors were taken by surprise when
Mrs. A. H. Huizinga, wife Of a we'll
known clergyman, in an ably and care
fully prepared paper, made crusade
against the wearing Of corsets.
She spoke of it largely fro sani.
cary standpoint. Sixty millions OF
corsets are used every year in the
United States, she said. She pic
tured woman of the present day in
corsets, high, square shoulders, hour
glass waist, artificial and inartistic
attire, incapable of making single
graceful movement. If beasts were
so cruelty treated those responsible
would be waited upon by officers
appointed to prevent cruelty to ami
mails.
The corset is the curse OF women,
inficting upon them even more injury
than rum does upon men. A woman
with corset is like man who indul-
ges in whiskey. The man is almost
certain to become drunkard, and the
woman to injure her health by tight
lacing. The corset violates at once
the laws of good taste and the laws of
health. It weakens the body, en-
feebles the mind and dwarfs the soul.
Hence, it is hindrance to our best
attainments and defiance of the pur-
noses of the creator.

gan to hope that aid had come to me.
IT was not be disappointed, for
anon I heard my husband voice:
Hattie, will you answer? Where,
oh where are you |? :,
"'Here + I cried. Come quick |!
"Ee followed the sound Of my voice,
and came with rapid bounds up to my
side.
"'Thank Heaven 7 I heard him
exclaim, as I fell into his arms, faint
and exhausted ; I have arrived in
time
'After that all was blank to me,
until I awoke to consciousness in the
cozy parlor of an inn. I lay upon a
couch, by the side of which sat my
husband. The rays of a setting sun
fell on pair of pale, thin hands,
which clutched nervously at the bed
clothes. In one corner of the room a
woman sat, feeding my babe, which
looked almost as pale as my hands.
"Give her to me [ exclaimed,
trying in vain to raise myself to sit

very sick. That night was too much
"I shuddered as the recollection of
it returned to me, and uttering low
cry asked .,
"Is she dead ? Did I kill her ?
"'No,' he answered ; she is recov-
ering slowly. Two Of the men are in
| prison, and the hut has been burned
| down. Heaven preserved us from the
fate many a poor traveller has shared;
Several human bones have been found
in the bitches near the premises.
The two wretches have confessed to
FIVE murders. No one knows how
many more they have committed.
It was weeks after that before i! was
able to leave the mountain inn, for
remained very feeble ; but ere did
leave three guilty wretches had gone tG

The Rev. Charles r. Uncles, the first
colored man ordained to the Roman
Catholic priesthood In the United States,
preached in Baltimore Ola Sunday, The
colored priest was born In Baltimore,
his father having been an engineer at the
phosphate mines on the Island of NaYss-
So. His brightness and quickness OF
perception caused the Rev. ]. r. slattery

in his being sent to the Sulpician Semi

priesthood. He studied the classics
there, but he completed his education ut

- Capt Frederick v. Abbott, United
States engineer in charge of the jetty i'm

completed a new survey of the approach

marked deepening of the ship channel
from deep water outside to deep water
inside the bar. By the survey Of last
December there was shoal of one thou
sand feet in width at the inner end Of the
channel and this shoal has been narrow
ed to about twenty feet. In Decemb mber
there was clear channel of twenty feet
and six inches and in the new survey
there is clear channel Of twenty-five

channel Is considerable and the work OF
deepening the channel is going on stead
lily and constantly. The official survey
shows that there has been net gain o.
nearly two feet in the depth of the jetty
ship channel in three months. 1t is SAFE

drawing twenty-five feet can come in

- The function Of the negro's black
skin is now supposed to be the con-
version of the suns light into heat.
The heat thus generated remains in
the skin, never penetrating to the
deeper and more vital tissues. This
being the case the African may prop
erly be said to be possessed with a
thin and pliable sun-proof armor.
This accounts for the curious but
wcll-known physiological fact that the
negro is able to stand almost any
degree Of heat without being in dan
ger from sunstroke.

Darkness to Light.

IT saw al odd sight in Laserne Coun'
ty a few days ago., said Eckley b:
Coke, of Drifton. "Six mules that
had for four years hauled cars in the
lower workings of coal shaft, to and
from the foot of the shaft, had to be
brought up owing to the flooding Of
the mine On account Of the fire, The
mules in that time had seen no light
stronger than the flicker Of the little
Davy lamps the miners carried. The
sun was in the zenith when they
reached the surface, and the atrnUs'
phere was as clear as crystal.
The astonished creatures closed
their eyes to shut out the food OF
strong light, and kept them tightly
closed while they were being driven to
pasture lot, mile distant, and
turned loose. There they stood
trembling, as if they We're afraid some.
thing evil was about to befall them.
Presently they half opened their eyes
and peered around in open-mouthed
amazement.. It was clear they couldn't t
understand it.
"When they had become accustom-
ed to the sunlight they elevated their
heads and slowly swept their gaze over
calm piles, sky mountains and horizon
again and again. Toward rundown
they broke into a chorus OF joyous
brays, the like Of which was never
heard from mules before.
CATER quarter of an hour Of that
music they took to kicking, jumping
whirling around like teetotums and
rolling on the sod as if they had gone
mad. For four days they spent their
time gazing at the new sights OF field
and sky, refusing food and water, not
even nibbling at the grass, and not as
much as blinking an eye in sleep. -
