Special Train Saves a Bank.

Grand Haven, Mich, Oct. 10.-Two hundred and twenty-five thousand dol lars, brought here on a special train guarded by armed men, saved the Ma tional bank of this city from a run which threatened the destruction of the insti- tuition. The run began unexpectedly. President Cutler is fatally Ill, and the failure of the Grand Haven Leather company, in which the bank was heavi- ly interested, was thought to have shaken the financial institution. Excited de positors thronged the place all day Mon day, and S100,000 was paid out. Con- fidence was partly renewed, and a few depositors returned their money. Early yesterday morning an excited crowd again surrounded the bank. The Ma tional City bank of Grand Rapids offer ed help, and the railroad authorities fur nished an engine and coach for a quick run. A cashier and an armed escort brought the S225, 900 here, and the bank met all demands so promptly that the run stopped.

An Arabs ParIor.

A woman traveller in Egypt Is amaz- ed at the dearth of the natives house hold goods, says a correspondent of the Chicago News. There Is little furniture because the Arab needs little. His life is spent out of doors, and he can sleep In any handy gutter as peaceably and happily as a child, while most of his meals are eaten in the open air.
 In one exceptionally luxurious house, that of a charwoman, the traveller found a parlor. It was regarded as a sort of shrine by Fatima. She had made 1t fetich, devoting to its embel- lishment all the money she could spare and sacrificing to it even her children's wants. The visitor was shown through a broken down doorway into a squalid passage, where two rooms at either end revealed perspectives of greater squalor beyond. Children teemed from every entrance.
 Arrived at the holy of holies, the door had to be unlocked. It was a brand new Birmingham lock. Distant Manchester had supplied carpet blaz- ing with roses and small creton cur tains of brilliancy to match. Such things are in Cairo called "fellah" (vul- gar), as none but fellahin are found to be purchasers of them, but poor Fa- tima's horrors are not yet quite cata- logued. From some common shop in the Muski she had captured two or three glass vases, and in them-the last touch of triumph-were artificial flow

CANAAN, CONN, THURSDAY. OCTOBER H. 1900
W. Fl. EMMoNs.

Next on my list of interesting calls comes the fine grocery and provision store of MT W. H. Emmons, who caters to the wants of the epicures of Canaan. To say that was surprised at some of the things coming within range of my observation, would be expressing the situation mildly indeed. began to think had now entered really first class grocery store and was impressed with the idea that the elite canners, p ack- CTS, bakers and confectioners had con- spired to pour into this particular store share of their life and health giving eatables. Anyway such a choice sssort- ment in the line of bresdstuffs and deli catesseu has not been viewed by me be- fore in this locality and I must con- gratulate Csnaan's residents on pos- sessing within their midst such an es tablishment, where may be obtained the lnxuries, as well as the necessities that go to satisfy and please the cravings of the inner man. The store is handsome ly equipped and bears evidence in plenty of 8 prosperous business, due, l should judge, to the principles of it's proprietor in buying for cash, taking advantage of all discounts, and giving buo phtIOub Ocuonb Ol Sano.
 .sss.. GEORGE F. STRONG.
 Especially pleasant was my call at the store of Mir G. P. Strong. This gentleman deals largely in stoves, pumps, tinware. drain tile, etc., besides conducting large iobbing plant in connection, executing plumbing and pipe work of all kind with neatness and despatch and at the lowest prices con- sistent with high class work. Mir Strong also makes 8 speciality of steam and hot water heating. having com pleted satisfactorily some of the largest contracts in those lines in this locality. The fact of his being rushed with work at all times is evidence in plenty of his skill and aptitude in these directions. Mir. Strong ranks among Cansan's most zealous and progressive citizens and is interested n-all matters pertaining to the welfare of the town at large.
 .et..|.a D. D. WALTER. -r
 While passing the market of MT D. D. Walter today was attracted by the un- usually fine display of meats of all kinds, and in order to obtain a better view I entered. Here I became &C., quainted with MT Walter himself, who accorded me hearty welcome and en- tertained me highly during my call. Without doubt this gentleman has the neatest in appearance and finest stocked and equipped concern of this kind that I have seen for some time and feel that it is safe to assume that his patron age is both large and profitable. can speak in terms only of the highest praise of it's general appearance and of the personalities of its genial proprietor who occupies an enviable position in both social and commercial circles about town.

The Shah and the Children.

The youth of Brussels, it appears, were not slow to exploit the shah's weakness for children, which was in- cautiously referred to In the press. Our correspondent mentions that an enterprising lad wrote to his majesty that a bicycle would make him com pletely happy, but the fact must not be divulged to his parents, while an- other child asked for a doll In similar terms. In both instances the gifts were forthcoming. with the result that on the last day of bis majesty's visit the Persian legation was besieged by youthful applicants, many of whom were made happy by practical proofs of the shah's generosity. - London Chronicla.

CLEANED OUT THE BANK
William Schreiber, a 5000 Clerk,
 Got $Ioo, 900.
SPENT THE MONEY ON A WOMAN.

Took More Than Capital and Surplus
 Combined of EIixabethport Bank
 ing Compsny-steady Young Man at Home, High Roller In TenderIoin. New York. Oct. 1O.-Charged with hay Ing stolen from the Elizabethport Bank ng company of Elizabethport, N. J., Dearly $106,0O0 young William Schreiber, Q utility clerk, 26 years old, who lived at 16 Reid street, Elizabethport, has dis appeared.
 Frederick Heidritter, president of the banking company, and its counsel, for mer Judge F. H. Gilhooly, came to this city late last night to make efforts to re- cover $20.O00 worth of diamonds and other valuables which their clerk is said to have lavished upon a yang woman living in West Forty-eighth street.
 Although the young man had been ab- stracting money from the bank for sew eral years, his employers say that he ac- complished his thefts so cleyerly as to deceive even a state bank examiner who last February went over the books of the institution, pronounced them correct and even complimented the bank officers on the prosperous condition of their in- stitution.
 Schreiber has been missing since Aug. Il, when he went on a vacation that was to have lasted two weeks. The bank officials, although they were suspicious, did not learn that their accounts were falsifed until Sunday before last. On that day their bookkeeper accidentally discovered that there was missing a sum greater in amount than the capital and surplus of the bank combined.
 President Heidritter at once summon ed the directors of the bank to his home and acquainted them with the discovery. The directors immediately decided to pay into the bank every dollar that was lost. They called in a bank examiner and, ex- plaining the circumstances to him, point ed to the cash sum which the directors offered to make up the deficiency.
 Banks Credit Unaffected.
 Do you intend to close the bankr' asked President Heidritter.
 "Oh, now replied the bank examiner. "I'll not shut bank that has directors who are so prompt in replacing its miss ing funds"
 Young Sehreiber's downfall Is attribut- ed to the fascination exercised over him by brown haired woman, 2S years old. whom he met in Forty-third street sew eral years ago. Detectives employed by the bank officials have learned that he bought her horses, carriages and costly jewelry.
 Schreiber, who is the son of a poor Elizabethport carpenter and whose sal ary was only $500 a year, it is alleged, bought this woman a pearl necklace with a clasp composed of two big diamonds and a ruby valued at S6,000.
 It Is said that the woman has also in her possession diamonds valued at S11,- 900 which she says the young man pur- chased for her. In stable in West Eff ty-seventh street Schreiber kept a car riage and a pair of handsome horses for the woman.
