SYSTEM OF DOUBLE CLEARINGS. Boston, Dec. 7.-An important meet ing of the Boston Clearing House asso- citation was held here to-day to discuss the subject of clearing house for coun- try banks. A committee was appointed to consider the matter in detail ana formulate a report for a plan. A prop
 osition, which meets with considerable favor has been presented. It suggests a system of double clearings at the clearing house, one in the forenoon as at present arranged, for the city banks, and another at about 1 p. nj. for the country banks. Then instead of charg- | ing anywhere from 10 to 25 cents each l for cashing their own checks and re- l turning them to the banks on which 1 they were presented, it is proposed to
 have the country banks abolish all charges and have the only cost be that
 of maintaining the extra clearing of | the clearing house.

In a certain township not many

gathered in the best room for social

Naturally their talk turned upon
the serious event of the day, and pres

sigh, solemnly remarked:
"Well, our departed brother has

ARE.Y0U TOLlVE IN ALASKA

The universal article o. diet in that coun
try. depended upon and indispensable, ia
bread and biscuit. And to make the bread
and biscuit, either in the camp or upon the
trail, yeast cannot be used-it must be ba king
powder; and the powder manufactured by
the processes of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors have learn
ed, is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness and
raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
These !facts very important for every
one proposing to go to Alaska and the Yukon
country to know, for should he be persuaded
by some outfitter to take one of the cheap
brands of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when he opens
it for use after all his labor in packing it over
the long and difficult route he will find solid
caked mass or "a lot of spoiled powder, with
no strength and useless. Such mistake
might lead to the most serious results. Alas
ka is no place in which to experiment in food
OR try to economic with your stomach. For
use in such climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and labor
in that country. everything must be the best
and most useful, and above all it is Impera-
tive that all food supplies shall have perfect
keeping qualities 1t is absurd to convey
over such dific alt and expensive routes an
article that will deteriorate in transit, or that
will be found when required for use to have
lost great part of it's value.
There is no better guide to follow in these
matters than the advice of those who have
gone through similar experience. Mr.. Nc
Questen, who is called "the father of Alaska"
after an experience of years upon the trail,
in the camp, and in the use of every kind of
supply, says: 1--WE find in Alaska that the i'm
portance of a proper kind OF baking powder
cannot be overestimated. miner with a can
of bad baking powder is almost helpless in

out of her will. Notwithstanding this
I determined to carry out my plans
and formally proposed to Mr.. Benton
for the hand of his daughter. He had
never liked me, and when I told him
what my aunt had written he fatty re-
fused to give his consent. Then Miss

the night her father was killed. We
would not have gone at such late
hour, but it was the only time we could
get away without being seen. 1 hur-

81 am sure he meant it. I went down
and told Montcastle what had taken
place, and we decided to leave, as we
were ready and the cab was at the
door. When we got to the station, the
train had just gone. There was not an
other till after 3. We sat in the waiting
room for nearly an hour. In the mean

Two days later Lam pkln received a
note from Hendricks. 1t ran as follows:
Be at your Office tonight at O'Clock.
HENDRICKS.
When the detective came. the doctor
was Dusy examining under a powerful
microscope some consumption germs
which had that afternoon been sent him
by distinguished physician.
''Busy, see,'' was Hendricks greet
\ ing as he sat down in an easy chair and
dropped his slouched hat on the floor.
''How are you? Through in min
ute, - responded the doctor. 81 want to
get at the nature of this batch of germs
Conway sent me this afternoon. I know
little about such things, but he always
wants me to sanction his conclusions. :"
''What sort are they?" asked Hen
bricks absentmindedly.
Lampkin laughed, with his eye to
the microscope.
do you expect me to waste valuable
lung power explaining things to you
when your mind is a thousand miles
away? Go to! What luck at Benton So"
"Not much" answered Hendricks.
"I'm stranded. Would you believe, old
man, that night before last, after we
got back from East Orange, I went
home, went to bed, failed to sleep, got
up, walked to Central park and back
and then went out to Benton 's?''
Il shouldn't have been surprised if
you had taken your passage to Europe
on half inflated life preserver But.
really, did you go back out there?"
"That's what I did. You see, I was
satisfied Montcastle's yarn was straight,
and all at once it seemed to dawn on
me that had absolutely nothing to
work on except the bullet which had
lodged SO lightly in the wall of the
summer house.
"But Allen put in DR.. Lampkin,
removing one of the glass slides from
his microscope and selecting another.
81 thought
mo-" hendricks broke in; II haven
a blasted biz of evidence against him.
The fact that he had quarreIed with old
Benton when Benton was rowing with
every soul around him wouldn't count
for anything. So, you see, it was the
bullet or nothing. Anyway it kept me
from sleeping. erept into the grounds
at the side gate and by the light of a
dark lantern carefully examined the
wood in which the ball had lodged,
hoping that some idea would pop into
my Uranium, as it often does''
'You usually have ideas to spare, -
remarked Lampkin, adjusting the green
shade over his eyes and looking again
into his microscope. "Have you heard
how Allen is getting on?''
II don't know much about him. re-
piled Hendricks. "Kola is looking aft
er him. He has been about Benton's all
day in the disguise of laborer. Late
this afternoon he sent me hasty mes
sage that Allen was to be moved to a
private hospital up town. Kola prom
ised to meet me here this evening""
81 am glad Allen will have medical
attention. said Lampkin. "He was
such sad sight that have not been
able to stop thinking about him."
1T is the bullet that's troubling me-, )"
said Hendricks. when I can't see nat
ural reasons for a thing, it runs me
wild. can't account for the ball not
