BLARNEY.-In one Of the large manu-
featuring establishments in this city
an Irishman was employed to watch
one Of the entrances.
One day the superintendent saw the
Irishman was neglecting his duty and
told him to go to the Office and get his
money, as his services were no longer
needed.
The superintendent went away on
business that day and was gone about
a week or ten days.
On his return he happened to be pass
ing the same place and was surprised
to find the Irishman he had discharged
still acting as watchman.
He said: II thought I discharged
you a couple Of weeks ago."
Sure" says the Irishman.
well, why didn't you get out wher
you were told'"
"Oh, I know when I got good boss
If you don't know when you have got
good man."
Needless to say, he is still there.

unpretentious building, usually about
$500, 900 900, Is safe from the danger OF
fire. Nowhere is there a piece Of wood
used in the construction. Doors, parti-
tions and trimming are Of steel, and
the floors are Of stone. Desks and
chairs are the only inflammable ma
terial, except the paper notes, in the
building, and fire is scarcely to be
feared from either Of these sources

COUNT 100000 EACH DAY.
Experts Kept Busy Now In the Sub
Treasury.

Experts Kept Busy NOW In the SuD-
Treasury.
AS the leaves of the forest fiutter to
the ground In autumn, 80 In the first
month in the year, bills of the smaller
denominations are falling into the
United States sub-treasury on Wall
street. There are more small bills in
circulation now than ever before and
the usual shower Of bills has changed
this year into storm.
i The bills that come to the sub-treas-
ury for redemption show greater per-
centage Of those that are worn and
soiled than ever before. They are from
the banks, where an unusually large
number of small bills are now being
received to be exchanged for notes Of
larger denominations.
For the month Of January the num-
ber of bills received at the sub-treas-
ury has averaged 100000 daily. They
are mostly of small denominations,
comparatively few representing more
than $40, but the aggregate face value
Of the 100000 notes is about $1,O0O,0 900.
They are received in the bill room,
which Is on the right as you enter the
sub-treasury from Wall street.
Ordinarily about $4,000 or 10000 bills
are received in day and half a dozen
expert counters are enough to do the
work. Now, however, sixteen rapid
billhandlers work behind the partition
from o'clock in the morning to 4
o'clock in the afternoon, counting,
sorting, stacking and bundling the
bills.
Such bills as are soiled and unfit for
circulation are made into packages of
1000 each. Eight Of these packages
are made into a bundle, which weighs
three and a half pounds, and shipped
to Washington for destruction. About
forty of these bundles were shipped
from New York every day during the
last month. This means that through
the hands of each counter passed daily
20, 900 bills of various denominations,
but representing an average amount of
annual amount received Is about ST.
600, 1000.
The side Of the building opposite to
the bill room Is busy place, even
though from the outside it appears
quiet. This is the disbursing depart
ment. Clearing House balances are
settled here, bills are changed and coin
is redeemed on vouchers obtained in
the coin room.
The largest note Of the government Is
for $4,000. Very few Of these big fell
lows are seen outside Of New York.
| They are so common here that not a
day passes that the teller in the dis
bursting department Is not called on to
exchange dozen or more of them for
bills Of smaller denominations.
1t Is not likely that they will ever be-
come common in the usual acceptance
Of the term, but no man who possesses
one need hesitate about asking to have
one changed for fear of questions
about its ownership. They are mostly
demand notes, payable to bearer, and
possession is all that one need prove
to obtain bills of a smaller denomina-
tion for the big fellow.
Some banks have these $4,000 notes
made to their order, but generally the
bearer notes are used. 1t does not re-
quire many Of them to make a good
sized fortune, and the writer held in
one hand three not large bundles Of
these notes representing a cash value
Of s1,000,OO0.

CAUSE For CONGRATULATIONS
Charles Beresford tells an amusing
anecdote about Sir Frederick Treves,
the kings physician, says the Boston
Post.
Lord Charles fell i'll, and Sir Fred
erick was called to his bedside. "Tell
me-" said Sir Frederick, your symp-
toms.'
The other said he had pain here,
an ache there and a stiffness some
where else. And to each Of these an
nouncements the physician exclaimed,
chuckling delightedly:
Excellent"
"Charming!
"Splendid!"
When Lord Charles had concluded
the enumeration Of his troubles, Sir
Frederick slapped him heartily upon
the back and cried in bold, gay voice:
MY dear fellow, let me congratu-
late you. You have the rarest dis
ease of the century. You have, you
lucky dog, a disease that heretofore
was thought to be extinct"

RESPECT For THE DEAD.-Secretary
of the treasury, Leslie M. Shaw, while
arguing against traiff revision in his
speech before the West Side Republi-
can club recently, illustrated a point
in his argument by telling this story:
Down in Pennsylvania there was a
farmer who lost his wife. A week later
he took unto himself another one. The
boys Of the village heard Of it and
thought to give him a big send off:
With the village band they assembled
outside the farmers house and began
to serenade him. Finally the old far
mer came out on the piazza and an
grily shouted:
TO be ashamed of yourselves to make
such a disturbance outside a house
where there has just been a funeral y

TRADE REPORT.
Bradstreet's report ON trade /

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week says:
Previously existing favorable condi-
tions still rule. Spring trade shows
further expansion, particularly In dry
goods, such as linens, wash fabrics,
underwear and woolens. Clothing
shoes and hardwood lumber are act
i've and the volume Of shipments OF
spring goods 70 fill orders offers still
another problem for the congested
transportation companies to solve. A
spell Of mild weather has induced the
beginning of the usual clearance sales
of surplus winter goods by retailers
1t has also tended to soften the acute
ness of the anthracite coal shortage al
he east and cause lowering of prices
This, however, is regarded as temper
ary only, another seasonable cold snar
containing great possibilities in the
way of enhanced prices. The snow
covering winter wheat is not uniform
and is on the whole rather scant, but
no unusual deterioration is reported.
Textiles, particularly cotton and
woolen goods. occupy a strong posi-
tion.
Business failures for the week end.
ing January 20 number 253.
Wheat uncluding four) exports for
the week ending January % aggregate
3,538,757 bushels. Wheat exports since
July 1 aggregate 144.179.557 bushels.

VENEZUELA ANSWERED.
She Must Pay 80 Per Cent Of Custom
Receipts.


Receipts.
Washington, Jan. 2S.-In a consul
tation of Ambassador Desplanches
of Italy, Herbert of Great Britain
and Count Quadt of Germany with
United States Minister Bowen of
Venezuela the answers of these gov
ernments were presented to the pro-
posal made by Venezuela.
The answers call for the payment
to the governments Of 80 per cent of
Venezuela's custom receipts as an
indemnity guaranty. 1t is understood
this will be accepted with slight mod
ification.
The blockade Of Venezuelan ports
will probably be raised by Thursday
or Friday of the present week.
While Minister Bowen was hopeful
that the Venezuelan blockade would
be raised at an early day, there was
no definite statement possible until
today.
The question to be settled was the
portion of customs receipts to be
given, Germany demanding SO pei
cent and England being willing to &C
cept 30 per cent.
A 30 per cent levy would relieve
any pressing claims Of the allies and
obviate the necessity of a cash pay
ment.

LYNCH SENTENCED FOR LIFE.
He Was Tried on Charge of Hig,
Treason.

London, Jan. 27.-It is stated in Of.
ficial circles this morning that Col
onel Arthur Lynch's sentence will be
commuted to life Imprisonment and
may be the subject for further con-
sideration after a limited number of
years.
Colonel Lynch was tried on a charge
Of high treason and sentenced to
death. During the late war in South
Africa he accepted a commission in
the Boer army.
While engaged in fighting in the
ranks of England's then enemies he
was elected a member of the British
parliament from the County Galway,
Ireland. At the close of the war he
returned to Ireland and was immedi-
ately arrested. His plea was that
he considered himself. during the pro-
gress of the war, citizen of the Dutch
republic, but claimed his seat on an
old ruling Of the English courts that
his return to his native land made
him again citizen of the UDite'l
Kingdom.

BELLO HOLDS THE FORT.
German WarshIps Unable to Pass San
Carlos.

Maracaibo, Venezuela, Jan. 25.-A
boat with the representative of the
Associated Press on board, which was
sent from here to Fort San Carlos,
has returned to Maracaibo, bringing
the news that the German warships
had not shelled the fort since Thurs
day night. When the boat left San
Carlos the German cruiser Panther
was the only war vessel in sight. She
was about one mile from the bar.
The village of San Carlos, consisting
Of 80 houses, built Of wood and straw
and inhabited by $50 fisher folk, was
totally burned as the result of having
been set on fire by the explosion of
shells from the warships.
The garrison at San Carlos, number
ing 239 men, was still holding the fort
when the boat left the island. AS the
walls of the fort are below the earth
lines they are still in good condition.
The Panther attempted to pass
through the straits in front of the fort.
but desisted from doing so probably
from the danger in navigating those
waters.
