GUARDING THE BANKS.
One Precaution Taken to Make Sure
That Watchmen Are Vigilant.
New York SUM


A visitor in a district messenger Of
flee the other day noticed, when he en-
tered the office that the manager
seemed to be watching the clock with
great solicitude. Without any warning
the young man jumped up from his
desk, grabbed his hat and dashed out.
The strangers curiosity was aroused
and he waited until the manager came
| back.
What was the natter" he asked.
The bank Waterman was testing
me- he said, and then went on to eX-
plain the system. At every hour and
half hour the Waterman inside the
bank pushed a button that rang a bell
in the messenger office. This button was
at the rear of the bank. AT a quarter
before and a quarter after every hour
he touched a button in the front of the
| bank that rang a bell in an entirely diff
ferent messenger Office. The manager of
the telegraph office took down the time
to the minute when the bell rang. If
the bell at the back of the bank failed
to ring in five minutes of the hour or
half hour it was the duty of the man
ager of the office to make all speed to
the bank. When he got there he must
actually gee the Waterman and speak
TO him. If within five minutes after
reaching the bank he did not see the
Waterman ne was TO cdll the ponce. Ii
the manager failed to go to the bank
promptly when it was his duty to do so
the Waterman must report him, receiv-
ing a reward therefor. The object of
having the bank connected with two
messenger offices was to lessen the pos
sibility of COLLISION between the watch
man and the messengers.
But this was not all. An outside
Waterman was also employed. He was
the regular special Waterman, who was
employed by the property owners of
the neighborhood. 1t was his duty to
meet the inside Waterman at the front
door every hour and then go to the
back door and meet the inside man
Then there were burglar alarms on
every window, door and vault door
The stranger went to- a bank officer
and asked him whether all these pre-
cautions were necessary for the detec-
ton of robbery.
Not for detection he said, but for
prevention. The burglar who tries to
break into this bank at night is insane.
He has not the slightest chance in the
world, and he knows it, Then. too, we
are sure no fire can gain Roadway in the
building while the watchmeu are kept
so thoroughly awake. OF course, we are
fireproof, theoretically. but we do not
even trust that"

INCREASE OF OFFICIALS.

In France public Offices have in
creased much more rapidly than has
the population. Statistics gathered by
". Turquan show that the population
has increased but 10 per cent in fifty
years. while the number of public
functionaries has increased 100 per cent.
In 1876 the total number Of EMPLOYEES
Of the state was ISS,0OO, and their sal
aries amounted to $4,000 600. By 1896
the number had swollen to 416. 900. cost

This is The case in most progressive
countries, and there are two reasons
which suggest themselves. First, the
requirements of the public, like those of
the individual, have grown really faster
than the ability to satisfy them. Man
used to want but little here below. but
he insists upon a great many things
these days that he might be able to
get along without Yet he refuses to
believe it. And he covets this conven-
fence and that luxury until they seem
absolutely essential to his comfort and
happiness. For many Of the necessities

Second, the increase comes also from
the extension of state control to matters
which were left in private hands fifty
years ago, and the existence of many
sinecures originating in personal friend

In this ailment we doubt if France is
any worse off than the United States.

SHE SEES WITH A RABBITS BYE.
The Successful Operation On a Blind
Woman In Minneapolis.
Chicago Paper

NCulCdSO tdpeI-J
The operation on the eyes of blind
girl in Minneapolis, performed by c.
H. Kohler, in which was involved the
! transfer of parts of living rabbit S
eyes to the blind sockets of the girl,
has been pronounced a success, and it
is believed the girls sight will be
restored. She had been blind in one
eye for fifteen years, and totally blind
for six years. AS far as appearances
so, the operation has been successfully
performed a number of times; the eye
usually that of a rabbit-greW into
place, and the muscles united, but
never was the patient able to see. 1t
was better substitute than glass
eye, but of no more use as far as vision
goes. The optic nerve of the human
being and the animal refuse to make
practical connection. In the case of
DR.. Kohler's patient it was not neces-
sary to substitute the whole of the
rabbits eye The patient, a young
woman about 80 years old, whose home
is in North Dakota lost the sight of
one eye fifteen years ago. Soon after
the other eye was attacked sympathetic
cally, and six years ago the young
woman resigned herself to absolute
and, as the doctors told her hopeless
blindness. When DR.. Kohler resolved
on the desperate eXpedient of the fab-
bits eye he called in number OF other
physicians and surgeons and asked
them for their views. Almost without
exception they pronounced it useless,
but admitted that the attempt could do
no harm. 1t was decided to operate on
the eye that had been blind fifteen
years. Both the woman and the
animal were put under the influence of
chloroform. The whole front of the
diseased member was then removed.
The corresponding part from the rab-
bits eye was substituted for the
excised portion; the lid was carefully
pulled over and the eye was bandaged
so that there could be no motion of the
lid and no light could penetrate to the
wounded organ. For a week the doctors
waited. To all appearances the original
and the grated portion of the eye had
united perfectly, and the girl could dis
tinguish light from dark. She was. not
permitted to test her vision for the
time being.
The success has been so signal that
the second eye was Immediately oper-
ated on. 1t was in much worse condi-
ton, and nearly the whole eye had to
be removed and the rabbits eye sub
stituted. AS yet no examination of the
second eye has been made, lest the
healing process be interfered with.

HIS PARDON POSTPONED.

1t is matter of regret that the
board of pardons did not reach the case
of Harry Hayes yesterday. There
seems to be no longer any question OF
his innocence. He was convicted upon
the baldest circumstantial- evidence
without one direct connection between
the prisoner and the crime.
1t is always risky business to convict
man of a capital offense on circum-
stantial evidence. The records are full
of CHASTITY errors. And mistake of
this kind admits of no remedy. Nc
penitence or regret can restore the vic
tim of such blunder to his family, OF
give him back that which was sacri-
feed by the tribunal constituted to
protect it.
Harry Hayes was convicted and SEN
fenced to death. He stood in the shad-
ow of the gallows. His sentence was
commuted to life Imprisonment, and
now there is every reason to believe
that he is innocent of the crime with
which he was charged. Everything
seems to point to Weeks as the real
murderer. His disposal of the personal
effects of the murdered men, his Grim
inal record, his fight from the state,
and the declarations of his wife, all
fasten the guilt upon Weeks. 1t is evil
dence stronger than ever was brought
against old man Hayes. 1t reveals a
motive, a stealthy disposition Of the
plumber. "a sudden departure from the
scene Of the crime, and an effort to
cover up tracks that never were traced
10 Hayes.
1t was too bad that the board of
pardons postponed action upon the
Pelican Point case. If Hayes is limo
cent (and how can one doubt it in the
light of recent developments?) he
should be discharged at the earliest
possible moment. Every hour an inno-
cent man is kept in stripes and in a
felons cell is an hour stolen from his
life, an hour taken from the meagre
joys of an already blighted existence,
an hour added 10 the torment OF an
outraged soul, an hour of injustice and
an hour of crime none the less repre-
hensible because committed in the
name of the law.
1t is to Sheriff Storrs of Utah county
that the people of the state and hu-
mainly at large are indebted for gath
eritg up the clues and evidence which
has convinced us that Weeks, and not
Hayes. committed the triple murder at
Pelican Point. Mr.. Storrs became con-
WINGED Of the innocence of Hayes. He
was not content with merely express
ing a fear that the wrong man was
on trial as others did, but he went to
work like the great-hearted, clear
headed hero that he is. and searched
for the trail and followed it over the
west; he went clear to the Atlantic
and discovered a witness upon whose
evidence alone Hayes may be acquit-
ted, TO say nothing of the corrobora-
ton Of her story which the sheriff has
picked up point by point.
Therefore, the people of this state in
particular, and those OF civilization in
general, are indebted to Sheriff Storrs
for his tireless, unselfish devotion to
mercy and justice-they are far more
indebted to him than is Harry Hayes.
Tor man could better afford to die in
nocent than the state and the system
of laws which are designed for the pro-
lection Of society could afford to be re-
sponsible for his death.
