Unclaimed Moneys,

Nearly every bank of old establish
ment has on deposit sums Of unclaimed
money. The aggregate of all these
sums. If it could be told. would aston
ish the world. These moneys in the
Bank Of England are estimated vari-
ously. some placing the aggregate
amount at less than $500, 900 and some
at many times that sum. In the Bank
Of England. as in all banks in this
country and In England. the total
amount is made up Of small sums. Ac-
cording to law. the Bank of England
should give public access to the list Of
such lost moneys. whereas 1t never does
anything of the sort. When challenged.
1t invites legal action. but no one cares
for legal contest with the Bank Of
England. so the question never h faced.
How do these unclaimed moneys &C.

sion Of stockholders To claim dividends
and through the fact that many people

exquisite beauty.

BERLIN, Feb s.-The Anglo German
relations and their surmised inodill1a-
tons, owing to EMPEROR Williams visit
to England, form just now the ALIEN
crossing topic Since his majesty's re-
turn all, Germany has been engaged in
discussion. The decorating of Lord Rob-
erts with the Order Of the Black Eag e
and Emperor Williams reply to King
Edwards speech, in which the emperor
said he was honored in wearing a Brit
ish uniform and that the emperor's army
would likewise feel it an honor, have
especially aroused keen criticism, which
is privately expressed much more freely
than in print. In high official circles the
decorating Of Lord Roberts with the Or
der of the Black Eagle, which the officials
do not confirm. is regarded as being mere
ly Of personal significance and as ex-
pressing Emperor Williams apprecia don
of Lord Roberts as a man and as a SOL
dder. It is not looked upon as q political
act, and leaves Anglo-German: relations
precisely where they were before the in
cident. Nevertheless, it is admitted that
sthe.ract expresses the emperor's wish to
end the bitterness in the relations of tho
two countries, which does not hanefit
