Bank Frauds.

4 rather startling exposure of -
amount Of money lost through dishon-
est bank oii1cials and employees in the
United States is made in The Arena
The author Of the paper does not sign
his name for manifest reasons, but The
Arena mentions that he is an ex-exami-
ner Of failed United States banks. y d.
The ex.examiner tells as that for the
past ten years an average Of over $l0.-'
900, 900 q year has been lost to the peo-,
pie of this country through bank swim
dies, entertainments and defalcations..
Worst Of all, the amount seems to in
crease year by year. In 1892 Sc, 900. 900
was discovered to have been stolen
through these bank robberies, as the ex-
aminer does not hesitate to call them
In 1894 the amount was 425, 900, 900.
The writer justities his use Of the
word robbery" by saying, Whatever
may be the social position Of a man,
when he makes illegal use Of the funds
Of public office or Of financial insti-
tuition Entrusted to his care, or connives
with others in SO doing, he becomes =
thief .5y- :. Il s=..- j.. ~ -,
Both the bank officer and the bank
employee rob because they want to get
rich quick. The bank officer often wants
TO 60 in for politics, or he has some pri-
vate speculation that he takes funds not
a.
his own to forward. TIE employee usu.
ally begins to rob because he has got
into bad company and wants money to
indulge moro deeply in dissipation.
Both alike, however, invariably intend
to pay back the funds they have stolen.
Oh, yes. they always intend to pay it
back. but they never do. The ex-exami-
ner thinks the closest scrutiny ought to
be maintained over the lives Of bank en-
ployees and officers. Those who bet on
horse races, drink. indulge in any form
Of gambling or dissipation, are not safe
persons to handle other peoples money.

A Bangor citizen, who is much afraid
Of burglars, has a maidservant who
isn't bit afraid Of them. and an Incl
dent occurred few days ago that has
increased and intensified their respec-

windows and scattering burglar alarms
Of various kinds about the premises, SO
decided to impersonate burglar and
give the girl a much needed scare. He
carried out his scheme very cleverly last

kitchen in the dark the maid pounced
ON him, seized him by the throat and
pounded him vigorously before he could
make himself and his mission known.

Paris, April 3.-As an indication of
the alleged strained state of public feel
ing between England and France, it is
worthy of note that the Martin and other
French newspapers persist in insinuating
that the collision on March 30 off Mes
sina, island of Sicily, between two Brit
ish steamers, the Alvah and the Brink
burn, the latter chartered by the French
government as transport to take troops
and munitions of war to the island of
Madagascar, was due to England

action should be made to repent it The
Alvah, as cabled at the time, was sunk,
and the Brinkburn, which was on her
way from Toulon to the island of NADIA
gascar with French troops and NUM-
lions of war, was seriously damaged, but
succeeded in making the harbor of Mes
sina.

some time, and his recent attack of neu-

more severe than was generally under

fectly calm and showed no signs of in

to end her misery and theirs by murder
and suicide, and how she carried the
plan into effect. A letter found at the
house in Grove City, and addressed to
her husband was shown to her by the
coroner Though it was not signed, she
admitted that she wrote it. 1t was
long letter and in it she upbraided him
for his cruelty to his family. She said
he had never cared for anything but his
own pleasure and comfort, and that he
would have that at any cost. 1t was
enough that he had sent her soul to hell;
he had tried to send the souls of their
children there too.
