Bonds of Bank Officers.

State Auditor Hart sent out yesterday a
circular letter to State banks answering an
inquiry which he has received repeatedly as
10 whether a cashier CT president OF a bank
is required TO give a new bond each year.
The auditor says that this is not necessary.
If the bond originally given provides that
il is TO be binding as long as the ofhcial
holds his position. yet II is my Judgment
says the letter. that 1t is the duty or your
board OF directors. under the statute Of
Indiana. to see TO IL that every president
and cashier shall execute and constantly
maintain separate bonds. with ~sureties in
such sums as your board of directors may
deem proper. II the board of directors neg
lect or fail TO do this. they will. In the
opinion. of the attorney general, be person
ally liable TO the stockholders and creditors
of the bank for such failure. This strict
business method should be adopted In every
bank. no matter what relationship the d.
rectors and officers OF the bank may bear
toward each other"

LOSING TRANSACTION.
Exchange of Money I'm Cuba Expen-
sfve To the United states.

HAVANA, Aug. ~21.-Spanish and French
gold is being very extensively used i'm Cuba
at present by those having payments to
make to the government. such as importers
of dutiable goods. The government pays in
American money. and i'm so doing loses a
half of / per cent. because il receives the
centen at s4.S2 and the Louis dor at $.ss.
whereas these coins at present are not
worth more than S4.79 and $3.50. respectively.
i'm the market. When. however. owing to
the demand for Spanish and French gold In
harvest time. the value of the centen and
the Louis dor rises, importers do not pay
duties I'm this coinage. but in American
money. The pOstofice has a balance Of ex-
change against Cuba. as more money orders
are issued on the United Staes than are is
sued i'm the United States on Cuba. and thus
IL has TO ship funds TO meet differences.
Whatever money is shipped 10 the United
States causes a loss TO the Cuban govern
ment. and especially now. when the trans
port service has ceased.

FoibIcs of Some Women.

New York Times.
1T is a curious thing the woman lawyer
said. that there are some rich women
who are not content with social triumphs.
They want also to grasp the hard-earned
honors of the professional woman. i have
noticed that women's press clubs nave very
few active newspaper women in them. Real
newspaper women are usually too busy for
club life. There is a percentage of women
everywhere who are attracted by a certain
glamor that seems to hang about that pro-
fessfon. lust as there are others who are
attracted by the theatrical atmosphere.
They push their way by hook or crook into
the press clubs, and as they usually have
more time and money than do the writer's,
they go to conventions and kindly represent
the real press women, who are hard at
work at home
IL know one woman who was an associ-
ate member OF q woman's press club I'm a
Western city. She spent a good deal of her
time I'm the East, and when national or in
ternational conventions were held she would
be on hand to represent the club as a dele
gate, although she never wrote an article
In her life and never could. She liked TO be
in the press club atmosphere. and / sup
pose II do not hurt any one. There was
another who had a brother I'm the railroad
passes and would write articles to her home
paper for the pleasure of seeing her name
in print. OF course when the conventions
occurred she could always go, as her trans
portation cost her nothing. At the conven-
ton city she would be spoken of i'm the local
papers as Miss So-and-So. the bright young
well-known journalist and so on. When
she went to distant cities she invariably
visited their press clubs. proudly wearing
the badge of her home club. This class Of
women dearly loves TO reap such honors as
come her way without doing any OF the
hard work to entitle her TO them

The Oil Boom and n ChOrus Girl.

Chicago Tribune.
From chorus girl in a summer opera
company to mistress OF $4,000 is a far cry,
but IL Is exactly the good fortune that has
fallen TO Maidie Stuart. Miss Stuart re-
ceived the money all at once in a big
Adams Express envelope on Saturday, and
she could give up singing and dancing and
live at ease the rest of her life IL she
wanted to. But she doesn't.
Miss Stuart lives with her mother and
sister at 3642 Wabash avenue and has
helped out the slender family income by
singing in the chorus Of the Metropolitan
Opera Company at sunnyside Park. Two
weeks ago she caught a severe cold and
has been i'll ever since. II distressed her to
give up her position, not only because the
income ceased, but for the reason that she
was ambitious. In the midst of this trou-
BILE came the big envelope with S75, 900 In 1t.
This is how IT happened: Many years ago.,
when Maidies's father was living. he bought
some property near Bakersfield. Cal. The
land was practically worthless. When Mr..
Stuart died he left these barren acres to
his children. Maidie and Nina. They duti-
fully paid the taxes on IL for several years.
never dreaming that 1t would some day
bring them a fortune.
A few months ago oil was struck near
Bakersfield and the result was a boom in
the value of land. Attorney Edward
O'Brien. lS5 Dearborn street. was commits
s short time + o he sold it for $4,000 cash. The
money will be divided equally between
Maidie and Nina
Miss Stuart is only eighteen years old
and has been on the stage less than a year.
She made her stage debut with the Wood
ward stock company at Kansas City, her
former home. In January the family
moved to Chicago and the young woman
studied with dramatic and musical teach
ers. She had beauty and a fair voice and
soon obtained the offer of a position in
the Metropolitan Opera Company.
Miss Stuart will devote a part of her
money TO educating herself and will keep
right on singing and dancing until she
finds out what youth and beauty and
wealth can do toward winning fame.

Property owners on Capitol avenue, from
New York to Tenth street. were before the
Board of Works yesterday to state their
opinions regarding new cement sidewalks
on the avenue. Many favor the sidewalks
being placed next to the curb. while an
equal number demands that they be placed
next TO the property line. The latter said
many shade trees would have TO be de-
stroyed if the sidewalks were constructed
next to the curb. Those in favor of the
sidewalks next to the curb said they would
provide a place for spectators for the races
that occur on that t~horoughfare. The board
took the question under Amusement. and
will visit the avenue before deciding.
