N0ckrei1s Lost Check e
Senator Cockreil is outss24-that is,
he thinks he is, but he is mot sure.
The circumstances are peculiar.
The senator was asmembers in 1888
ofsWhat is known as the assay COM
mittee" by members Of congress-. The
function .of that committee, which is
composed of smembers Of thes house
and senate, is to visit the mint at the
city of Philadelphia. They go into the
vaults where the coin is stored after
being manufactured, and after picking
out coins p~romiscuously they weigh,
measure and test them to determine
whether the specifications of the gov
eminent for their casting have all been
complied with. The work has never
been considered onerous, and the as
signment to the committee has been
sought. On the particular occasion re-
ferred to the senator at the close of the
work in Philadelphia received a check
from Mr.. A. Louden' Snowden for $24
for his expenses and services rendered.
1t was b night before the return of
the. committee to Washington, and on
Lis aN dy 10 LIS AOIe1 Tie senator was
jost1ed and IN reaching the hotel
found that he had lost his pocketbook.
The senator has a lingering recollec-
ton of being somewhat backward
about admitting the robbery to his
colleagues and says it is barely posi-
| that he swallowed his loss without
disclosing it. In time the matter pass
ed entirely out of his mind.
But a short time ago it was recalled
to him by the receipt of a letter and a
package sent from Philadelphia The
letter stated that in tearing down, an
old house in the tenement district Of
the city a pocketbook was found under
one of the floors. The pocketbook
contained the check for $24. The SEN
ator stook it to the treasury depart
ment, and the officials looked eupxthe
records to learn if the amountihad
been paid. After a search through
many a dusty ledger the officials found
the 3record of the check in question,
and IN entry showed that it had sbeen
presented and paid. The senator. says
it is possible that later he had another
check issued in place of the one which
had been stolen. In any event. the
check itself makes a souvenir which
he will gladly retain. -
