English Bank PRECAUTIONS.

The recent attempts of gang of
American sWindlers to yictimiZe the
London banks have drawn attention to
the remarkable precautions which
banking houses take against fraud.
Every employee, from the Office boy to
the manager, has to take an oath on
entering the bank that they will not
divulge the business of the establish
ment, except under compulsion of law.
And they are not allowed to forget this
oath, for every year the entire staff is
assembled in the board room to hear
the oath read oyer. The effect of this
precaution has been admirable.
There is also very great care exer-
cised to prevent fraud by means Of
worthless securities and promissory
notes. In almost every bank there is a
department devoted to scrutinizing all
notes which may be deposited for this
purpose. These records, which have
been compiled after years Of collec-
lions, show the standing Of almost
every firm in London. Many a bust
ness house would be dismayed if they
knew that practically all their most
cherished secrets were known to the
bank. Reference to these records will
indicate at once whether the firm con-
cerned has at any time dishonored a
bill, and SO the bank is able to gauge
the value of the securities offered, say,
for loan for three months.
These are merely few of the pre-
cautions. adopted, but they will serve
to give some idea of the constant and
unremitting care taken to prevent
fraud.-London Mail,

was wounded by the premature explo-
sion of cartridge in 1868.
Since the Civil War Admiral Bunce
had been assigned to duty at the Bos-
ton, Washington and Brooklyn navy
yards and on torpedo inspection. He
was president of the naval college at
Newport for two years, succeeding
Captain Mahan. In February, 1898, he
was made rear admiral, and in Deem
Der of the same year was placed on the
retired list.
In appearance Admiral Bunce was
the typical commanding officer, being
over six feet in height, and splendidly
proportional. AS young man, it is
said, he was one Of the strongest men in
the navy. His temperament was genial,
and while he believed in discipline he
was neither harsh nor severe. He was
a favorite with the officers Of the SER
vice, and with the enlisted men.

If the dominion were an independent

Nearness and the flmy thread of the

der his resignation in order to seek a
restoration of failing health, is fine
type Of the self-made college man."
He was not pushed through college by
the impelling pride Of wealthy parents
or relatives. He had the aid Of no adj
ventitious circumstance, influential or
financial, in his struggle for an educa-
ton or in his subsequent efforts for pro
fessional preferment. He worked his
way through the University Of Michi-
gan, graduating in 1861. -Four years
later his alma mater honored him by
making him instructor in Latin and his
tory. His subsequent promotions were
rapid and were won upon demonstrated
merit, until he finally succeeded DR..
White in the chair Of history, the latter
having resigned to accept the presi-
dency of Cornell University.
The retirement of DR.. White as presi-
dent Of Cornell and the appointment Of
DR.. Adams as his successor gave the
latter the opportunity to build the en-
during monument Of his life. The i'm
press left upon Cornell by his scholar
ship and administrative genius cannot
be effaced. When he left it in 1892 to
take the presidency Of the University
of Wisconsin he had raised it from a
staff of fifty-four instructors and an
enrolment Of 1906 students.
Under his administration the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin has also enjoyed an
era Of great prosperity. A most capt.
waiting and instructive writer upon his
torical subjects, lucid and forceful
expositor in the classroom, and a man
of great geniality and liberal-minded-
ness, his retirement is a severe loss to
higher education and will occasion
wide regret.

It is specifically held to be praise
worthy that the regular life insurance
companies stand ready to grant what
are sometimes called generous" sur
render values to their policy holders.
But it is still open to doubt, in the opin-
ion Of the Chicago Chronicle, if any
undue encoura cement should be held
out to policy holders to renounce their
insurance, no matter what the stress
Of circumstances may afterward urge.
Life insurance is fundamentally and
mainly for the protection Of the family,
and it would seem the part of wisdom
to make it difficult rather than easy for
an insurant ever to surrender his policy.
The policy once given up, the protec-
ton is, Of course, gone, and often for
ever, for the man who sells his life in
surance policy or borrows money on it
does not usually reinsure again. The
money raised by the surrender or loan
goes, and then he finds it difficult either
to take new policy or to repay the
amount borrowed. There is a legal and
just surrender rate to which policy
holders are entitled, and this is some
times set forth in the contract. But the
insured man should rarely be encour-
aged to avail himself Of it's privileges,
while any tendency to make it still cas-
Ter for him by giving ampler surrender
rates is threatening alike to his fam
ily's welfare and the true principles Of
life insurance. AS for any generosity
in this respect, that is a sad misnomer.
Life insurance rightly conducted is a
matter of justice, equity and business
fair dealing, in which generosity can
play no part. The policy holder is not
asked to be generous, and the company
cannot be. 1t is certainly anything but
q generous spirit that prompts policy
holder no matter how much he thinks
he needs the money, to sacrifice the
financial safety of his family by surren-
dering his contract, and there can be no
generosity on the company side in en-
couraging him in the lamentable act

In spite Of the biblical blessing Of the
man who interferes to stop quarrel,
it frequently happens that the peace
maker, in the present stage of civiliza-
ton, fares worse than the original con-
testants. Witness, for instance, the
recent shooting affray in which two
men were fatally and one seriously
wounded. A prominent merchant was
in restaurant eating his lunch when
a party Of drunken men entered and
began to make Objectionable remarks.
He objected. A fight ensued. It hap
room, and he endeavored to interfere
and put an end to the trouble. The
prominent merchant, however, felt ag-
grieved at his interference and drew his
revolver and began shooting. While
the bullets were flying a well-known
physician, who also happened to be In
the room, rushed in to separate the
men. Meanwhile the deputy sheriff, as
a measure of se1f-defense, had pulled
his own weapon and turned it loose"
When the smoke had blown away it
was found that Of the three men the
merchant and the physician We're IA
tally wounded, while the officer of the
law was seriously wounded. AS for
the drunken men, who were the original
cause Of the whole controversy, they
seem to have escaped scot free. It is
notorious that persons who interfere
in family quarrels invariably fare
worse than any of the actual parties
to the controversy, and instances are
frequent where men who seek peace"
are turned upon and beaten by both Of
the men whom they have attempted to
separate. It takes some courage to
pick a quarrel, but it takes much more
to attempt to stop one after it has be-
gun.
