New Bern, N. c., Aug. As the days
gy by more of Dewey's stealings come to
light. When the first examination of the
board was made it was thought that $751;
600 would cover the amount that was
taken by the departed cashier, but as
each day passes the amount grows larger
and up to tonight the figures had reached
the $4,000 mark, and yet it is not safe
to say that it will stop at that.
The directors today decided to offer a
reward of $4,000 for the arrest and deliv-
cry of the Kissing cashier. This is an in
crease of $3,500 over the first reward of
fered. Every detective agency in the
country has been informed of the reward
and it is thought that Dewey will be
caught and brought to justice.

aminer, today sent the following state

SHIFTS IN CHOIRS

to fore.
First Baptist Church Finds Chorus
Choir Plan a Very satisfac-
tory One.

The changes in down town church
choirs will not be so general this
year. The First Baptist has taken
the matter of singing out of the pro-
fessional sphere entirely. The Begin
ming of the musical year of this
church has been changed to July L.
On this account it is certain that
director until July /, 1904, at least.
The choir is made UP of non-profes-
sional singers, young people of the
church. The plan has been to build
up a permanent chorus of young peo-
pie who have an interest and who
sing for pure love of the aid to the
religious work Of the church. Under
this arrangement it is expected that
altho directors may come and go the
chorus will go on just the same
At Wesley church some dissatisfac-
ton has been found with the choris-
ter and solo plan In vogue. The dis
satisfaction is simply with the plan
and not with the soloist. Solo and
congregational singing alone affords
so little fexibility in the programs
that they become to a certain extent
monotonous. It is probable that the
committee will arrange for return to
the quartet choir.
Hennepin Avenue Methodist church
has not considered the matter of sing
Ing for the new year at all. The
present quartet and the musical di-
rector. Rhys Herbert, have given en-
inent satisfaction, it is understood.
Plymouth Congregational has been
trying several singers and it. is ex-
pected that new faces will appear in
the quartet. The plan of having spe-
cial musical Sunday nights with an
increased choir has been successful

ton of Hamlin Hunt, the organist

DAMAGE SUITS NUMEROUS
City Sued for Accidents to Pedes-
TRANS ,on Bad Wooden
Sidewalks.

Never in the history of the city has
there been such large number of
damage suits against the city on the
docket as now. Most of them are per-
sonal injury cases, and a majority of
these, again, arise from defective side
walks-always and invariably plank
walks.
It has come to such a, pass that there
is serious talk Of prohibiting the con-
struction of wooden walks on the pub
lie streets because of accidents caused
by them. City Attorney Frank Healy
is not quite sure than an ordinance
prohibiting the construction. of plank
walks would be legal; but he is sure
such a, law would be a blessing all
around.
For years past the city officials have
discouraged the use of wooden walks
and encouraged the laying of stone
walks. The latter are cleaner, hand
somer snd much more economical.
The first cost is somewhat greater
than for the plank walks, but stone
walks are laid at a comparatively
small expense, for the competition is
very brisk. Even a new walk is re-
garded as unsafe; should a horse or
a cow get on a new wooden walk the
animal is very likely to put its hoofs
thru a weak spot and then some one
is almost sure to walk into the hole
in the dark.
