When / was in New York recently" said
New Orleans man of affairs. Il encoun-
tered charming fellow whom l have
known for a number of years. He is Jour-
nalist by profession, and / met him orig
inally when he came here to write up the
exposition for big northern daily. Since
then he has been in all sorts of employ,
and, being a bohemian to the core, has
never stuck very long to any particular job.
AT present he is earning precarious liveli-
hood by selling stories sketches and little
of everything to the different publications
in New York. 1 struck him in an interval
of depression, and while we were taking
dinner together he bewailed his improvi-
dence in a highly amusing fashion. He
said he had averaged about $50 a week for
the last year, but to save his soul he hadn't [
been able 10 pay $3 room rent with any sort
of decent regularity. What became of his
money he didn't know. I lack the-faculty
of finance he declared. exactly as some
people lack the faculty of music. Ny in
tentions are good, but the nerve centers are
missing. 1t would be exactly the same if
had fifty thousand year Next day met
him by appointment, and he was in high
feather. He had just cashed check for

LARGE CHECKS,
Immense Sums of Money Represented
by Bits of Paper.

From the New York Herald.
What's the largest amount Won can write
a check for, and then cash it? There are
any number of persons in New York who
sign their names to ch ecks every day which
are big enough to make the average mortal
gasp with astonishment.
When Uncle Sam handed over to Spain
four orders, or checks, on New York's sub
treasury for S20,0o0,0C0. most peoples eyes
puiged out at SO much cash being repre-
sented by such small bits of paper The
man who cashed them, however, never so
much as winked his eye as he beheld them
He is used to such transactions as it is
common thing tor Uncle Sam to make
drafts away up in the millions.
There are lots of men in Wall street who
sign million-dcllar checks and think less
of it than some people would of hundred
dollar checks.
Mr.. William Scherer of the clearing
house. through which institution all checks
are Obliged to pass, says New York busi-
ness men write more and bigger checks
than the people of any other city in the
country. The morning 1 called on him
about two hundred thousand checks, rep
resenting $243,o0a.0 900, had passed through
That was simply ordinary mornings
business Mr.. Scherer in his MANY years
experience in the financial world has sign
ed his name to few big checks himself
o00,OGO
3. G. Mitchell, treasurer of the Central
trust Company, probably signs as many
checks as any one in the city. Most of the
big downtown banks keep one man busy
signing checks all day. One lightning cal
culator who liked to waste time figured out
that the paying teller of big Wall street
bank signed enough checks daily to make
MS pen travel from Manhattan to Albany
The big insurance companies get a good
many large checks, some of them running
from hundred thousand to half a million
dollars. Big checks float around in greater
number among the members of the stock
exchange than In almost any other place. a
big block of railroad stock was sold lust n
few days ago and a check for three and a
half millions given in payment
So IA: as known the largest checks aver
drawn by woman were two signed by
Miss Helen Gould. One of these was for
100000 and was given to the government
during the war with Spain. Last week she
purchased Lyndhurst, a country SCAT near
Tarrytewn and, it is reported gave q
check for $4,000 in payment.
one of the smallest checks ever issued
was for l cent. Uncle Sam gave this to
Grover Cleveland in payment of salary.
there being a discrepancy in the accounts
to that amount. Mr.. Cleveland did not
need the money, so he framed the check as
a curiosity.
The Bank of England holds the record
for big checks. This Institution issued one
for $4,000, eco and another for S622 800 coo
These valuable places of paper were drawn
in connection with the last Chinese loan.

NEW TRUCK HOUSES
Bids Too High for Erecting on the Proposed
Plans
They Will He Rejected and New Ones
Invited On q modified
Plan.

Bids were received by the District Com
n'sstoners today for constructing a truck
mousse in Georgetown and one on Whitney
avenue between 18th and 14th streets and
riuch to the disappointment of the Commits
sioners, not a bid was within the amount
aValiable for tie houses. The current Dis
trict appropriation bill provides the sum of
sie'oU Tor the site, house and furniture of
truck company, to be located in George
town, and the same amount for one TO be
located in Columbia Heights. Several
weeks ago the Commissioners paid $500
Tor the site of the truck house in Columbia
ne hteisn.s' st.s ana few days ago purchased as
me site for ,he one in Georgetown a lot on
street between 34tn and 35th. paving the
sum of $3.50 for it.
Estimating the cost of the furniture for
edch mouse at 81 COO the sum of S15 5n1
remained with which to construct the
mouse on Whitney avenue The bids re-
eeLVed Tor erecting this house were as
EnrbSt, f4m1ws: - y: F. Mockabee, S15s54; G. w.
1UIoee.' VI Slo'UI; W. E. Speit, S163OO. and
Wm- 5 Spencer, $1S6o4 Deductinp from,
she amount Of the appropriation for the
mouse IN Georgetown the cost of the site
ana furniture, S4,75O, but SIS 30 remained
with which to construct It The hids rsi
IetVso ior this house were as follows:
y F. Mocabee, S19,311: c. Thomas. s19,
9og; & and VIM s. Spencer. s2o,779.
FROM a comparison of these figures it will
De seen that, excluding the cost of inspec-
ton, the architects fee, electrical appliances
and other incidental expenses, the amount
available for constructing the Whitney ave-
nue. house is just 1854 less than the lowest
DID, and when these necessary expenses are
added the available amount will, it is es-
timated, be at least 81 900 below the amount
required to construct and equip the house
About the same sum would be required, it
is estimated, to build and equip the George
town house, should the lowest bid be ac-
cepted
The plans for the house in GEORGETOWN
call for what is known as a combinat ton
Eouse-that is, one in which can be housed
not only hook and ladder truck. but also
an engine and hose carriage. The plan for
tne whitney avenue house contempiates
the ordinary hook and ladder truck house
Whlch can be constructed, it is believed
Tor much less money than a combination
house Therefore it is not improbable that
the plan for the aforementioned house will
De abandoned and that the Commissioners
VIII erect In Georgetown merely an ordi-
Eary truck house. If this be done it is be-
ileved that the bid of Mr.. Mockabee will
oe accepted, provided he agrees to build
the house in Georgetown instead of CO.
lumbia Heights
The bids for constructing the Whitney
avenue house will be rejected it is said
and new ones invited. on perhaps a modi-
he'd plan, when, it is hoped by Commission
er Wight, who has immediate supervision
OF the ire department, that bids will be
received which will enable the Commission
ers to erect this house in addition to the
one in Georgetown.
