A sensible writer on how to han
die envelopes aud stamps advises
against licking the gum on them
for two reasons. Said gum is made
from the hoofs and horns of cattle
that are often diseased, hence it is
not healthy-and, of course, it is
not clean or nice. Always lick the

Money is the creation of law, and
can be made of silver as well as
gold, if our lawmakers we're but
fair and honest in not discriminat-
ing in any way between the two
metals. The parity between the
metals has not been maintained
since 1873 simply because silver has
been outlawed by public men whose
political honesty is not on parity
with that of the men who con-
trolled the destiny of our country
from the formation of the govern
ment down to the present time.

BANK CASHIERS DOWNFALL
RID. Y. WOOD or NEW YORK STOLE
500, 900 FROM METROPOLLTIN BINR.

Also Misnpplied $4,000 Belonging to
ReIatives-His Peculations viii Reach
O,OO0-With the Bank Forty-two
Years, Entering Its Service as Office Boy
Wife Frustrated by the Exposure.
New York, Nov. 13.-Richard d. v
Wood, for the past six years assistant
cashier of the Metropolitan National
bank is wanted on the charge Of ap-
propriating 100000 Of the banks funds.
He is also said to have used $4,000 be-
longing to his father-in-law, Squire
Lawrence $4,000 belonging to his aunt
Mrs. William Lawrence, and a consid-
cradle amount belonging to his cousin,
Jack Hart of Sparllill, with whom he
was associated in the livery business.
1t is believed that when the full eX-
tent of Woods peculations become
known they will amount to about $780,
900. 1t was said to-day that no trace
of the man has been found, but that
the efforts to catch him viii be prose-
cuted with all possible vigor, When
the bank failed in 1884 Wood acted as
cashier in winding up it's affairs He
had exclusive charge of the bank s
vaults and attended to all the outdoor
work. 1t is said that he took advan-
tage of these facts to operate in the
stock market, and recently he went on
the wrong side. Three months ago
Wood became i'll. Being unable to
transact his business, it fell into the
hands of his old friends in the office,
Then came discoveries Once or
twice Wood succeeded in getting down
to the Office, but was too i'll to keep it
up. One day the vaults were opened,
and then it was learned that securities
had disappeared They have not since
been traced. Wood lived with his fam
lily in fair but not showy style at Pier
mont.
Mrs. Wood has been prostrated by the
exposure of her husband. Wood is
about fifty-f1ve years old and has two
sons and a daughter. He had been for
ty-tWo years in the service of the bank,
beginning life in its employ as an office

Unexpended Balance to be Used in Fillin,
Up Beaver Ponds Park

Unexpended Balance to be Used in Filling
Up Beaver Ponds Park.
The park commissioners last evening
heard the report of Town Agent Bald
win concerning the recent purchases
made for the purpose of extending
Beaver Ponds park. The land cost $12,-
10, and is considered by the members
of the commission desirable as it
straightens the line Of the park and
also makes it possible to carry out the
purpose for which the first land for the
park was bought. 1t will rid the vici-
nifty of much of the malarial district
An informal report was made by Mr.
Farren, the chairman of the committee
on the Trowbridge drive, which has
been recently completed on East Rock
was made. The drive is now open for
travel, and is exceedingly picturesque
With the completion ofthe TroWbridge
drive there is about seven miles of
highway to be kept in order The
problem which the board is trying to
solve at present Is how to take care
of the park with the additional drive
way out of the $4,000 yearly appropria-
ton. For some years it has taken s4,-
| 600 of this to make the necessary re-
pairs and to keep the park in order
With the new roadway open the expen-
diture will be more, leaving less than
$4,000 with which to make improve
ments.
The board received the report of the
chamber of commerce concerning the
proposed lake at the base of East rock
to be made by daming the river. The
special committee appointed by the
chamber did not approve of the location
of the dam proposed several years ago
by Dor aid g. Mitchell 1t did, how
ever, recommend that the dam be built
farther up the river The communi-
cation was placed on file. After the
meeting the members of the board We're
asked what they thought of the scheme.
1T will be time enough to think when
the $50. 900 with which to make the lake
is in sight" was the reply of the only
member who would acknowledge that
he had thought of the possibility of the
shimmering lake recommended by the
chamber of commences special commit
tee 1--WE would like to be able to carry
out the provisions of the report, but
we cannot this year" said one mem
ber
Five hundred dollars ofthe unexpend-
ed balance of the appropriation was
voted to be used in filling up the
Beaver Ponds park. General Bradley
said that he could finish the work with
81. 900, but the board had only one-half
of the amount asked at it's disposal.
At the next meeting the annual report
of the secretary and treasurer will be
submitted.

LIE CANON, THE 2ND.
"Jones" is Not the Name Of the Irish Spy
in the Ivory Case.

London, Nov. 13.-The name Jones'
given as that Of the government spy in
the Ivory case is not his right name,
that having been withheld by the pros
ecution. When the witness was called
to the stand yesterday Prosecutor Gill
said that the government, for obvious
reasons, declined to disclose the mans
name, whereupon the magistrate, Sir
John Bridge, said:
Call him Jones'"
| The witness was sharply cross-ex-
amined by counsel for the defence, but
| his direct testimony was not materially
| altered.
| Solicitor Cudby, on behalf of Ivory,
argued that the charge against the
! prisoner would fail because his fellow
| conspirators were not jointly charged
with him. Moreover he said there was
no evidence of conspiracy. Ivory was
a well known and respectable hotel
| keeper in New York, and lyman, a GUS
TONER had introduced him to the alleg-
| ed co-conspirators. The evidence, he
contended, showed that Bell was not
connected with the house in Amster-
dam avenue, New York, mentioned by
the witness Jones'"
| Sir John Bridge replied impatiently
| that these points did not arise at the
present time 1t was not necessary, he
held, that all Of the conspirators should
be indicted if they could not be found.
1t was clear, however, that Ivory had
| met lyman in Antwerp and that they
wepe connected with explosive chemi-
calls There was evidence that the
prisoner was engaged in conspiracy.
Sir John Bridge then addressed tho
| prisoner, saying:
"You are charged with having con-
| spired unlawfully and maliclously with
lyman and others to cause explosions
In the United Kingdom, endangering
life and property, and you are also
4 charged with fe1oniously aiding and
abetting that crime. Have you any,
thing to say?"
Many persons in the court room be-
lieved that Ivory would take advantage
of this opportunity to make a sensa-
tional speech, but he merely replied:
mo, your worship
Sir John Bridge then committed him
for trial in the criminal court Old
Bailey.
