people. 1t is an Inflammation of the mu-

most common form of catarrh is in the

hawking and splitting and a variety OF
other symptoms too we'll known to re-

A THIEYlRG SANK CASHIER.
After Thirty -Four Years Service He Quits
$4,000 Short and MysteTousH
Djspppeurs.

BETHLEHEM, PA, Feb. 5.-For fifteen
years Cyrus E. BREEDER. cashier of the First
National Bank of Bethlehem, has been re-
garded as an upright and honorable man,
but his honesty was q cloak, and he is
now fugitive from justice, with short
age in his accounts at the bank of
ST. 430.S6.
When the First National Bank was
organized, thirty-four years ago, BREEDER
began with il as a clerk. By steadiness
and capacity in fourteen years he had
worked his way up to cashier. For five
years. after becoming cashier, he appears
to have been perfectly honest.
Then he took a nominal sum of money
with the probable idea of returning it. 1t
was the old tale over again. He never
returned the first money taken, and
throughout the last fifteen years has been
taking small sums at a time until his
shortage reached over $12, 900.
Hopeless of ever b.ing able to replace
the sum, and probably knowing that de-
lection could be little longer avoided
BREEDER last Tuesday told his wife that he
had resigned from the bank and was going
to New York to accept a position there.
Since then nothing has been heard of
him.
Hi absence from the bank led to an in
vestig alton of his accounts, and it only
took an accountant an hour to-day to dis
cover the extent of the absconding cash
ier's peculauons. BREEDER received salary
OF $3.50 month.

ONLY A TRIVIAL AFFAIR.
The State Department Receives Report
From Minister Barrett of the
Kehett Incident.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. 5.-The
State Department has received full re-
port of the Kellett affair at Chieng Mai
Siam, from Minister Barrett, which indi-
Gates that it was only q trivial affair,
greatly exaggerated in importance and al
together that a mountain was made from
an exceedingly small molehill.
1t appears that there has never been
any occasion for sending a United States
gunboat TO Siam on this account, and GER
tainly no additional ship will be sent;
nor is there any anticipation of the slight
est strain in the relations between this
C, uutry and Siam.
1t seems that Mr.. Kellett, who is an un-
paid official, appointed by the Consul
General, had sent two of his native SER
wants at night to post letter and one of
them carried cane. contrary to law.
He was arrested and taken to JAIL where
Mr.. Kellett proceeded and endeavored to
rescue the prisoner without formality
and in the resistance offerei by the SER
geant Mr.. Kellett was struck about the
head anu had his face scratched
Later in the evening the servant was
released by the Siamese Commissioner,
who sent servant to inquire after Mr..
Kelletts injuries. Mr.. Kellett said he
had no reply to make until he commu-
nicated with the Minister at Bangkok
about the Insult that had been offered him.
No doubt is held a: the State Depart
ment but that the affair has been satlfac-
torily arranged before now. the depart
ment taking no action whatever.

rs THE INDIANA A FAILURE e
The New Battle Ship Put to Another Test
With a Squadron and Has to
Return to Port

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 5.-What
may be represented 10 foreign Governments
as an .ignominious failure of one of the
crack vessels of the new navy receives an
explanation which navy officials of ex-
perience regard as satisfactory. The re-
turn of the battle-ship Indiana to Hamp-
ton Roads to-day after having been at sea
with Admiral Bunce's squadron hardly
twenty-four hours was due to the same
turrets> which got loose in a storm last
fall, when Captain Evans commanded the
ship inAthe evolutions off Long Island.
On that occasion the big guns project
ing from the turrets swung back and
forth across the decks as the ship
heeled over on her beam ends in the sea,
and the gravest fears were felt that the
magnificent vessel would ''turn turtle"
and go odown. Captain Evans hove her to
and lashed the guns temporarily, which
enabled him to reach port, and then sew
eral months were spent at the navy-yard
in trying to remedy the defect.
Captain Evans was succeeded in COM
mand by Captain Taylor, formerly of the
war college, and yesterday was Captain
Taylor''s first experience for some time on
an armored shin that has earned a repu-
tation for wallowing. and it is understood
that the long rollers following the recent
heavy gale made themselves felt on the
ship when the fleet got off Hatteras.
If she had not been restricted to SQUAD
ron formation Captain Taylor might have
headed his course into the seas but as the
New York with her high free board and
notable stability was setting the course,
and as the Indiana could not safely stay
with the fleet she was permitted to return.
If her turrets had broken loose off Hat
teras the ship might have been lost.
The Navy Department gave out the fol
lowing statement regarding the matter
this afternoon:
The Indiana returned to-day to Hamp-
ton roads, having made a run with the
squadron. When she went out this time
sue had with her new locking device for
her turrets, lately put on at New YORK,
and which was intended to remedy the
trouble she had the last time she put to
sea in heavy weather. This present de-
vice has three times the strength OF the
former'one. Very properly the officers OF
| the ship have been cautious and observant
as to it's workings, and she has returned
to the Roads for further inspection of it
and possible readjustment."
The department expects to have the In
diana again at sea in few days.

SACRAMENTO. CAL, Feb 5.-Dairy-
men will be equally as well pleased as the
consumers with Assembly bill 767, intro
duced to-day by Harris. 1t provides that
any person offering butter for sale, either
in rolls or squares, not of the full standard
weight of two pounds avoirdupois. shall be
guilty of misdemeanor. 1t has been the
custom for certain dealers 10 order dairy
men to make their rolls of butter not to
exceed a pound and a hall or pound and
threequarters each. The dealer buys them
by weight and sells them by the roll, re-
presenting them to be two pound rolls,
thus defrauding the buyer.

ON FORECLOS UhE,
An Act to Protect the bankrupt Rancher
From Financial sharks

SACRAMENTO. CAL, Feb. 5.-Wright's g
Assembly bill $50 is designed to protect
persons whose property shall be sold un-
der foreclosure of mortgage. Under the
law as it now stands if the property does
not produce sufficient to pay off the prin-
cipal, interest and costs the deficiency
stands as a jud gm ent against the debtor.
The bill now b. fore the Judiciary Com
mittee relieves the debtor from loss by
reason OF depreciation in land values, etc.
ana obllges the lender TO bear the loss.
The bill reads as follows:
Section 726. There can be but one action for
the recovery of any debt, or the enforcement
OF any right secured by mortgage upon real
estate or personal property, which action must
be in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter. In such action the court may, py its
Judgment, direct sale of the incu m bered
property Tor so much thereof as NAV be neces-
sary), and the application of the proceeds OF
the sale to the payment OF the costs of the
court and the expenses of the sale and the
amount due 10 the plaintiff If it appears
from the sherfi's return that the proceeds are
insufficient, or that balance still remains
for such balance against the defend
ant or defendants personally, nor shall
the mortgage be given any recourse
against such defendant on account of
such debt so secured by mortgage but in all
eases where q creditor takes any property
as security for debt he shall, in case of de-
1ault IN paymen OF Sucn debt, be confined to
such property or the proceeds of i Is sale for
the satisfaction of his claim or demand. No
person holding a conveyance from or under
the mortgagor OF the property mortgaged, or
having lien thereon, which conveyance or
lien does not appear of record in the proper
office at the time of cImmencement of the
action, need be made party to such action;
and the judgment therein rendered, and the
proceedings therein had, are as conclusive
against the party holding such unrecorded
conveyance or lien as if he had been made a
party to the action.

The total amount allowed for per diem was
$396l 30 and for mileage other than to statu-
tory officers $4265 TO- AS already stated we
find tn at fifteen atsches-twelve in ADDITION
TO the three statutory oficers-would have
been ample and the aggregate OF the per diem
that should have been allowed at this session
is $74. This includes the $24 per diem TO the
chief clerk, sergeant-at-arms and minute clerk.
For the necessary additional attaches $50 was
sufficient and all that should have been paid
We find, therefore, that $4215 10 has been
paid out in excess OF the sum actually neces-
sary.
None of the attaches should be paid for more
time than they serve. 1t has been custom to
allow per diem for an entire week on the plea
that he attaches come TO the Capitol a sac
rIice OF time which makes IT proper. There is
no justice in this claim. The statute only re-
qUires three officers to attend and there is suf-
hcient compensation 10 tn EN- for the time
cupied in coming and going in the mileage
allowed By law, which exceeds the actual trav-
cling expenses. the other attaches are not re-
qulred to attend and II they DO so voluntarily
iney nave no right TO ask pay for extra time.
As matter of fact, they usually come TO seek
re-employment.

grossly negligent, not only in recording
mileage but also in recommending The pay

IL was Its duty to diligently inquire into all

adoption OF the report of that committee are
censurable for their negligence. Had they
given the matter the proper attention they
would have learned that The report was wrong
and that the pay yments recommended were
without anv justification whatever in so far as
the excessive appointments were concerned.
