Fooled the smnrt clerk.

The cashier Of thriving bank in a big
Western town was doing the talking, says
the Washington Star.
when 1 began my career in the bank
ing business" ne said, lit was in an cd
established bank in an Ohio city TO which
my father had been elected president. We
didn't live in the town until his election,
and moved there when he took charge.
After about SAX months experience I was
made assistant receiving teller, and
between that and my youth, and
the fact that my father was pres
ident guess was about four
sizes too large for the earth. But l got
over it, and ore day when there was lul
and the receiving teller had gone across
the street to look after check that he had
taken l popped up to the window and took
my first lesson. rough looking old fef-
low came in that 1 thought was farmer
from Hayville. He came straight for me,
and said that he wanted to deposit some
money. II wasn't my business to under
take a new customer but l thought knew
it all, and began to talk to him. He said
he wanted to deposit a cent that day, but
had more. Well, / gave him the ha ha
then and there and told him to run around
depositor on the installment plan l also
said some more funny things, and after
had had all the fun there was he said that
while he wished to deposit only a cent that
day, he would put in two next day and
four next and on for four weeks. l
gave him the laugh again, and tod ham
we really couldn't do a small business like
that, and he must be a good boy and
run along to the penny ante bank around
The corner. Then he went away and l was
still laughing when the receiving teller
came back.
1 told him what was making me smile
and he looked at me kind of funny,
thought, and went on figuring on sheet
of paper without further comment Pres
emily he handed the paper over to me.
That old fellow he said, is a millionaire,
whose business we have been after for
year. Those figures will show you thai
what you consider is a penny ante bank
business would have amounted to some
thing over $4,000 in the four weeks, or
twenty-four banking days, during which
he wished to deposit his money. He's a
carnk. but he's got the cash, all the same,
and we want him. Jut what effect your
able funny business has had upon him 1
can't say, but suppose you go and talk
to your father about 1t, or do you want me
to report it TO the cashier and let him see
the president?
81 had cold chills and collapse and a lot
more things during the next five minutes,
and then I mustered up courage and went
TO my father with the story. He promptly
reduced me to the ranks and cut my sal
airy 10 per cent, and 1 learned a whole lot
in the next six months, by which time we
had the old fellow all right, and 1 was made
assistant again, but I wasn't the same
kind of a one by-a good deal"

A STRANGE CASE.

A remarkable feature of the Adams Bar
nett-Molineux poisoning case in New York
city which attracted the attention of the
entire country few weeks ago has come
to the surface. and is the subject of SEN
sational articles in the newspapers of that
city. Afolineux is under arrest for hav-
ing sent a bottle OF bromo-seltzer. which
contained a deadly poison, to a man nam
ed Cornish. This man Cornish admins
woman named Adams, from the effects
of which she died. A leading witness
against Molineux is a man named Heck
man.
1t Is inferred from the newspaper state
ments that it would be difficult matter
to make out much of a case against Molin-
eux without the testimony of Hickman.
A few days ago an officer appeared in
New York from Nashville, Tenn, with a
warrant for the arrest of Hickman,
claiming that he was an escaped convict
from the Tennessee penitentiary. He had
also a requisition from the Governor of
Tennessee which the Governor of New
IOAh ildd iOtOlNNls ne W dS dbOul 10 arrest
Hickman and carry him to Tennessee
when the district attorney got dispatch
from a man in Nashville telling him that
there was conspiracy to get Hickman
away from New York. He interfered. of
course, and the Governor instructed the
chief of police not to let Hickman pass
out of his jurisdiction until further or
ders.
The district attorney says he Is salts
fed from evidence he has in his possess
sion that Hickman was never convicted
Of crime in Nashville, while the counsel
for Molineux express the opinion that he
is the man wanted there There would be
trouble for somebody if II should turn
out there is a conspiracy to get Hickman
away from New York and into the Ten
nessee penitentiary for no other purpose
than to get rid OF him as a witness in the
Moltneux case. 1t hardly seems probable.
| however, that such a scheme as chat
would be undertaken. There must be a
pretty strong belief that Hickman is the
man who is wanted at Nashville. and
good reasons for that belief II is pos
sible, of course that there is a mistake
| somewhere.

An Artistic Mix-Up,

A well-known attache of the Hollenden
Hotel has a maid servant in his household,
whose complexion would make Erebus look
like early twilight, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer Some time ago this dusky
maid determined she would have her pic
ture taken. She wanted a number of
copies to send TO 'Rastus and her other
friends, and she had a personal desire to
see how her looks had improved since the
last photograph.
Nothing would do but she must patron
lie a leading photographer. So one day,
attired in her Sunday-go-to-camp-m
clothes, she visited the studio, looked
pleasant and was assured that the photo
graphs, when finished, would be promptly
mailed to her address.
In due course of time the package ar
rived and the delighted girl hurried back
to the kitchen to open it.
A few moments later one of the other
members of the household heard a dun
thud, accompanied by a wild cracking
She hurried back to the kitchen and there
was the maid sitting fiat on the floor,
having evidently tumbed from the coal
box, grasping a photograph in either hand,
and wearing a smile of ecstatic delight.
''Loogy dat, missy" she cried, "looky
dat Did yo' evan see anythin mo- beau
tiful in all yo' bon days? Wonder what
Rastus Il say to his baby now? But. oh,
missy, Use mos 'fraid dat fotumgrapher
has done got me ies' ill might too pale!'
She held up the photographs
They were Enthusiastically the likeness of
a white girl
At about the same time a Euclid ave-
nue. belle was opening a similar package.
There was a smile Of delightful anticipa-
ton on her face as she drew forth tha
contents of the envelope. Then she gave
a wild shrek and toppled back in her
chair The face that smiled up az her
was black!
1T must be the effect OF some dreadful

stricken mother.

THE WATER QUESTION.

We don't know what will be the outcome
of the agitation In behalf of water meters
bat we believe that there could be a very
effectual check put upon the wasting of
water If the right steps We're taken. It is
probable that 1t is not exaggeration to saw
that at least a fourth of the water that
is pumped is wasted. Faucets are left
open carelessly or kept open purposely in
closets and yards in all parts of the CITY.
and if reports are to be credited the citv
itself is one of the offenders. In a com
munication sent to the Morning News yes
terday the following statement appears:
ri notice in to-day's paper that the Mayor
charges the people with being responsible
for the waste of water, when, in fact, the
city is largely responsible for 1t. For in
stance, yesterday about half past O'Clock
water was turned on in the corner sewers
on Montgomery street which had just been
cleaned out. and to-day the water is sill
running into those sewers from the open
valves. Just think of it! Water flowing
freely from the mains into these sewers a
whole night and day, and it may be run
ming into them yeti"
The waste of water in this city is un-
doubtedly very great, but is it not posi-
BILE to lessen it? Has there ever been a
determined effort to stop il? Pass a
stringent ordinance against wasting water
and then give instructions to the police
and sanitary inspectors to report every one
guilty of wasting water against whom
they can get any evidence. If this is done
there will be an immediate falling off in
the amount of water that will have to be
pumped to meet the water demand.
But it may be said that the police and
sanitary inspectors have other duties to
perform. Well, so they have. but their
duties are not so onerous or exactng that
they haven't time TO do the work herein
outlined. They have plenty of time to do
it. and they would do il. and do 1t satisfac-
toriIy. If required. All that is needed is
determination on the part of the admin
istration that il shall be done. Even IL II
is decided to adopt the water meter sys-
TEN It will be long time before that sys-
tenn can be made opera live in all parts OF
The city. In the meantime, the waste will
so on unless the municipal administrator
decides to adopt the plan we suggest for
checking Il.

THE BRUTALIzING EFFECTS OF
Wan

Leslie's Weekly FOR the current week has
made a specially of Philippine war pic
lures. from photographs made on the
spot" Mu.ilation and bloody death stalk
through the illustrated pages. Trenches
flied with the bodies Of Filipinos are por-
trayed with grewsome accuracy. The top
of one poor devils head is shot off. An
other is minus an arm. Another has
great hole through his abdomen. BlOtches
of blood, which happily show up black in
the pictures. are seen all over the once
white uniforms Of the dead men. The
pictures repre- sent war. And war is hell.
Without touching in the leas, upon the
merits Of the controversy which has made
war in the Philippines imperative, what
will be the effect upon the young men
whom we have sent to the islands of all
Of these scenes Of blood and death? And
what viii be the effect at home Of the pub
LEGATION of such pictures s Lesiies Week
ly has RECALLED us with? Can it be other
than brutalizing? That some of the men
at the front are becoming Injured to the
slaughter is evidenced in the Manila cor
respondence of the New York Sun The
correspondent. writing of one of the re-
cent severe fights, in which it was deemed
necessary TO strike a heavy blow says:
ITO shoot a man at six-feet range with
Springfield rife is a hard thing to do but
the orders Were to let no insurgent live,
and off would go the whole side Of his
head or he would fall with a wound
through the abdomen large enough to
drop a potato through"
In the same vein Is a letter written by
a relative at that place. Capt. Otis told
of a hard fight, in which no quarter was
given or taken, asked or expected. He
said, in part: Our regiment burned the
big church near us and killed over a hun
dred insurgents in it. We burned Santa
Ana and about half of this place They
shot at troops from the houses and from
all sides and the boys didn't do thing
but blow their heads off for the courtesy"
1t will be noticed that Capt Otis writes
as coolly of blowing off heads of men as
If they were heads of sparrows. The cap
tain is not to be censured for looking at it
that way, of course, because in war it is
the soldiers business to kill so long as the
killing is In open fight. And the captain
has got used TO his business.
It is probably the case that the battle
field scenes in the Philippines are not as
shocking as were the scenes on the field
during our late civil war when the dead
on both sides sometimes numbered thou
sands. But in those former days the bru-
talizing effect of the slaughter was limit
ed to those on the fields. Now, by the aid
of photography and photo-engraving, we
have the particularly horrible sections of
the trenches and fields brought into our
houses, in true-to-nature pictures, and
served with our breakfast. Can these pic
lures have other than a hardening effect
upon the children who delight In the IL
Illustrated weeklles?

The Republicans of New York, who con-
troll the state government, are talking of
passing a state constabulary bill, which
would have the effect of putting all city
police forces under state control. The Re
publicans evidently have no scruples about
denying the cities the right of local self
government; and then again, they prob
ably think that If there really is any
''rake-off' in police circles In New York
city, they ought to get their share.

THE SAMOAN SITUATION.

Unless the commissioners chosen by tne
three Powers interested in Samoa reach
their post of duty pretty soen there viii
be happenings there that they will fnd
very difficult 10 deal with. The danger Of
a rupture between this country and Grea.
Britain on one side and Germany on the
other is not by any means past
There seems to be q sposjtlou on the
part of all the officials in Samoa TO bring
about trouble Of a very serious character.
The Germans. particularly, are extremely
aggressive. and seem 10 be determined
that the differences between the Powers
shall not be peaceably settled. If ii had
not been for the proclamation of the Ger
man consul. Rose, there would not have
been an attack on Mataafa and his fol-
lowers by the American and British war
ships.
The affair>reported in our dispatches this
morning has very ugly look. Every
American. Englishman or German that is
killed will have the effect of max
ing a peaceable settlement more
difficult. The followers of Mataafa
are aggressive because of the en-
couragement they receive from the Ger
mans. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the Samoan difficulty viii be adjusted
without rupture of the friendly relations
of the three Powers interested.
