NEATLY WORKED GAME.
Check for $2s Raised to $2S, 900 on
Chilean Bank.

Check for S2s Raised to $2S 900 on
Chilean Bank.
Panama, Aug. 5.-The eChiliancorrespond-
ent of the Star and Herald writes as fol-
lows:
Another bank fraud has been committed
in Santiago, this time the victim being the
Banco Commercial de Chilli. A we'll
dressed individual entered the bank and
presented to the teller a modest check for
$2S, payable to bearer, signed by Carlos
Correas
The bank clerk examined the check and
certified the usual ''visto Bueno," there
after continuing his work and took NO
further notice of the check or its GUS
todian- Later on in the day the clerk in
making up the balance between what had
been certified and what had been paid dis
covered that there was a deficit of $2S 900
less $2S.
The bearer Of the check had very smartly
added the three ciphers and also the
word "Mil'' to the original, after the teller
had certified it as being correct; and this
having been presented to the cashier the
money was easily obtained.
By the steamer from Valparaiso on the
LIST instant neHs had been received that a
man was appfehended at Talcahuano on
suspicion as being the author of the fraud.
From Talcahuano he was taken to Santiago
where he was identified as the man.

The blossom of the wild carrot, also
known as "Queen Anne's lace" is beaut-
full for house and church decoration at this
time of the year. Arranged in taIl vases
with scarlet geranium blossoms or black
eyed Susans it is charming. 1t is also a
very decorative flower when embroidered
upon fine, evenly woven linen OF white,
pale green or yellow.-New York fsvening

Policeman Greer was transferred yester-
day from the Eighth to the Fourth police

unknown caus<, considerable djssatisfac-
tion exists. Greer is the policeman who
had such a desperate fight for his life
several weeks ago at Eighteenth and T
streets with Battle Minor and a crowd
OF negroes.

 On August 23, 24, and 25 the Southern Railway company will sell tickets to Bos- ton at rate of one fare for the round trip, or S30.S0 from Birmingham, good returning until September 10, with priv ilege of extension, to be good leaving Boston not later than September 30.
 The Knights Templar conclave at Bos- ton is August 26 to 30, and the indications are that the attendance will be greater than at any previous conclave.
 Boston being the point is quite fac tor. inducing thousands to go who would probably not attend if the Knights had selected some less attractive city.
 Or making this trip of course you would select the Southern, ats it is the most direct line and affords you better service for the same consideration.
 The Birmingham Knights have decided to use this line and have arranged for sleepers, including Pullman latest im- proved dining car.
 This train, replete with all the latest appliances of luxurious travel, will leave on schedule of the vestibule limited and will contain the Memphis and Birming ham commentaries and their friends. Of course, the tickets sold will be good for passage on regular trains, and those not being able to join the Knights can use one of the double daily trains run ming between Birmingham and Boston, with a schedule of thirty-six hours.
