WRONGFUL USE OF CHECKS.
Result of Leaving Blanks Where
 Everybody Can Get Them.

Result of Leaving Blanks Where
 Everybody Can Get Them.
 One of the largest national banks in Cleveland, O.. recently announced that it would no longer keep blank checks on the desks and counters in the lobby of the bank, as all banks have been in the custom of doing. The officials of the bank decided that the custom was an unwise one, and one which had in very many cases led to annoyance and even loss of money. On the surface the matter seems to be unimportant, but, according to statements made by several Boston bankers. the fact is that the continual display of blank checks has long been disliked by prac- tically all of the bankers in the coun- try, and many discussions have taken place as to the advisability and feasi- bility of discontinuing the practice.
 A prominent Boston bank president says in this connections: By keeping numbers of checks on desks and count CTS throughout their banks, bankers have had to go through the trouble, and sometimes the loss due to for geries. It is by no means an uncom- mon practice of forgers to enter a bank, ostensibly on business, and among numerous despositors of the bank stand at desk where there are blank checks with the headings of that particular bank. They help themselves to some of the cheeks, and slip out with them unobseryed. The result is that in a day or two worthless check is presented at the bank for payment The signature of depositor may have been forged, and the check presented at the bank that it was drawn on; or, the check may have been presented to some merchant. and cashed by him. In that case, the merchant deposited the check in his own bank, and thence it reached the bank on which it was drawn In fact there are so many ways in which these worthless checks are presented to the banks by people who have cashed them in good faith that it would take long to describe them The point is that the display of the blank checks is source of trouble to the banks. whereas it is by no means necessary that they should be displayed at all. Any customer of a bank who has a right to checks could secure them from teller or other employe of his bank. In this way no forgers or other criminals could ob- tain all the checks they wanted sim ply by entering a bank and taking them. I think that the action of the Cleveland bank will in time be taken by many other banks. and also by trust companies"

Springfield Manufacturer Will Not Ex-
 change Plant for Stock.
 The promoters of the brick combine have not given up their efforts to se- cure the plants of Springfield brick, manufacturers. D. J. Curtis of SpriH field has received a definite offer his plant in Chicopee. W. A. Lon bard, attorney for the proposed trusf has offered MT Curtis for his plani $15,00O in cash, $20.000 in preferred stock and $25.000 in common stock. The preferred stock is to pay, the pro- moters say, z per cent. and the com mon is to pay 6; beyond this the two kinds of stock are to share equally in the profits. MT Curtis's reply to MT Lombard was that he would not listen to the proposal for moment. He Is unwilling to take so fare a proportion of the concerns stock in payment for his plant. He says that he might be willing to consider a cash offer. Hol- yoke manufacturers are inclined to fa- yor the combine, owing to the keen competition in that city.

BOSS BARRIERS MEETING.
Harmony Will Reign Between Jour

Harmony Will Reign Between Jour
 neymen and Their Employers.
 A meeting of the boss barbers of the city was held at F. J. DuvaPs on South Main street last night. About p boss barbers were present. c. F. McMurray was chairman and F. J. Cavanaugh secretary of the meeting. After considerable discussion about the new schedule of hours adopted by the journeymen, it was voted to ac- cept the new closing hours with the exception that the shops would remain open on Monday night until o'clock instead of 6, thus giving laborers a chance to get shave. Concerning this change, a committee of three was appointed to have conference with 9 similar committee from the local branch of the International Journey mems union. This committee will also complete arrangements for the organization of boss barbers' union at Hellmann's hall on next Thursday night. The majority of those present at the meeting last night favored har- mony with the journeymens union. They confess that the journeymen have at present long working day, and that the new hours are not at all bad. From present indications there will be no conflict between the local branches of the boss barbers and jour- neyfnen's union. It is said that in a week or two all, or nearly all, barbers throughout the city will charge an in creased price for slaves and haircuts Fifteen cents for slaves and 25 cents for haircuts. This scale of prices is already in force in number of barber shops near the Center. It is said that the cent shave and 15 cent haircut will soon be relics of Q past age in this city.
