A $40, GOO, 900 FRAUD.

 That Is Wist tile 1sritfsI Package In the
 Government Treasury 9s Declared to ne.
 ssI hate to shatter pet aelusion by giving he facts i'll the case, said a former clerk in the treasury department at Washington, bat fraud ought to be exposed regardless of consequences, and the greatest fraud 1 know of is the ia nous bridal package of the treasury vaults
 T say famous. bnt 1t isn't famous ill q general sense. It is famous only among bridal couples [ don't know how it Is, bat every bridal couple that 30 to Washington on their wedding tour--and it seems to me that aboub nine tenths t;S tho bridal couples of tho country go to Washing all about that package, and the bride can't rest until she goes through the regular routine connected with it. No visit to Washington by stranger is complete without an inspection of the treasury vaults, but if his or her visit is a non- bridal one the fraud of the package isn't played.
 '.I don't know who ib vas ill the de. partment that first imposed t ol Il Dri- dal pair but it went. and it ss in popularity every year. When the couple enter the vault, the man in charge, aft CT a few preliminary and perfanetory remarks, reaches up en q sheIf, takes down B package of notes and tells the bride to take 1t in her hand, if she hasn't asked for t fhe very first thing. He then tells Ter Chat tha package con- tains s20 GOO, 0f0 n treasury notes, aii in denomination Of SIG, 900 each. The bride is delighted, Of course, aud when she gees back home she talks for weeks about having held sac, 600, 600 i'll her hand all at one time Tho bridegroom can't resist enjoying that same pleas- ure, and he fandles the package awhile, and the pair go away blissful over the experience, while the treasury vault man tosses the package back on the shelf and eiuckles.
 Now this is all simply gigantic fraud On tie young people. The treas- ury at Washington does not hold that amount of money. The bulk Of the govs ernment money is at the suEtIeasury in this city That bridal package is a gay deceiyer. It dees contain notes to the amount of SEQ .00o, o90.

GENERALLY speaking, the public was glad to hear of the pardon of H. G. Allis. No matter what may be said of his management of the First National Bank it is fact which his most intimate friends assert positively, ttat he lost his own money in the crash, and was virtually penniless at the conclusion of his trial in the Federal Court here. He expended large sums in converting the old horse line into an electric street railway, thus giving the city one of it's most valuable improvements He was unfortunate in some of his invest. ments, and failed to accomplish what he hoped for Some of our best citizens suffered as conse- quence of their association with him, but they are not unmindful of the fact that he has suffered also. .

Miss Matte McQuaid of Cleveland, o.,
says she will become nun because her
employer proposed marriage to her.
j. J. Denemark is the name of the
young man who has SO curiOuSly changed
the current of Miss McQuaid's life. He
is the chief stockholdcr and manager of
the Cleveland Electric Enlarging COM
pany. Miss McQuaid was his type
writer. Mr.. Denemark being unmarried
and willing To change his condition in
that respect, discovered not only that his
typewriter was pretty but that she was
modest and intelligent well, and that
there was every reason TO believe that
she would make him an excellent wife.
He accordingly asked her to marry him.
To Miss McQuaid the proposition
seemed TO come as something awful and
astounding. She was shocked beyond
measure. She refused instantly and
peremptorily and then she threw up
her position and left him.
Mr.. Denemark after a few weeks man
aged TO induce her to come back, she
supposing that the managers madness
was dead forever. But it was only slum-
boring Denemark again confessed his
love and begged the girl to marry him.
Miss McQuaid this time seemed genuine
ly Mortified. She again refused him and
again left his service. The matter
seemed to rankle strangely in her heart.
For 4 number of days she seemed rest
less and disturbed She had always
been of a religious turn of mind, and in
her perturbed condition her thoughts ran
in that direction. Without a word of
warning she announced that she was 60
ing to be Il nun, and went out TO the
Irsuline convent.
