ported his resignation WAS requested, secur-
ed and accepted, although he had been
faithful employee for many years. Few
banks in the country could easily stand the
shock of such a loss, but the Chemical bank,
with its $3O.O0O.eOO OF deposits and its enor-'
NOUS surplus, could lose 10 times the amount
involved in this matter and not mind it. In
city like New York, with its social ramif1ca-
lions reaching far and wide, promoters and
prospectors, through the introduction OF in.
fluential friends, find l. possible to reach re-
sponsible parties, and the Chemical bank is
not the only one that has been imposed upon
in this manner. The incident shows that
even the most conservative men may some
times make a mistake, but we are sure that
no one can for single moment char e the
mistake in this ms ance to the account OF the
veteran president of the Chemical bank. His
action throughout the matter was commenda-

Ep1sou's LATEST PRODUCTION.

The home monograph is the best talk-
ing and singing machine that you ever
heard. It is perfect wonder. When
you visit Bridgeport call at So Fairfield
avenue and ask Mr. Northrop to let you
hear it and you will be well repaid for
your trouble, even if you do not wish to
purchase. 1t costs only SO more than
the cheapest one, and will last lifetime.
They also have the low priced ones and
records of all kinds. They carry the
largest line of sheet musfc, folios and in
atruction books in the city, and their pri-
ces are the lowest. If you wish to buy
piano for cash you can save 800 or more
by buying of them. They are headquar-
ters for pictures and frames. You will
find there unframed pictures from five
cents to $40. If you have any pictures
to frame take them there when yoE first
reach the city and you can have them to
take home with you at night. They do
first-class work for popular prices.

AS corroborating what Rev Mr. Barker
said about Cashier Quinlan of the Chemi-
cal bank of New York, in his sermon of
a few weeks ago, printed in THE BEE, it
is interesting to note what Harper's
Weekly and Frank Leslie's have said.
Says Harper's Weekly:
''No one has said anything unkind OF Cash
Ter Quinlan, who made those unfortunate
loans for the Chemical bank. He has done
no harm except to the bank, and the bank can
stand 1t. The bank officers speak of him
much more in sorrow than in anger. The
lesson OF his misfortune seems to be that two
heads are better than one, and that one head
which takes an annual vacation Is better than
one that takes none. 1t would be very much
to the public advantage 1an persons who oc-
cupy positions of trust, and who have not had
a vacation within 10 years, would come for
ward mantully and confess what it is that
they have done or intend to do. And If they
have not as yet committed any grave indis
erection, and are aware OF no malehcient in
tentions, then they should indicate what par
ticular line of error they think themselves
nkeliest to fall into as a consequence OF i'm
paired intellectual force"
In Frank Leslie's we find these inter-
esting comments:
"The Chemical National bank has a world
wide reputation as one of the most conserva-
tive and prosperous institutions in the United
States. Its shares of the par value OF s1OO
each sell tor over $4,000 apiece, and under the
management of George R. Williams, who has
been its president for many years, it has
steadfastly maintained position OF pre-emi-
hence. No charge of malfeasance was made
against the Offending cashier. He was SIM
ply charged with poor Judgement. and with
falling properly to confer with his superior
officers. The moment his dereliction was re-
