Contribute No More.
DEPEW FAVORS ENGLISH METHOD.
senator For New York Would Have
Candidates Publish Campaign Con-
tribution List - Mccall to

tribution List Mccall to
7 Testify Soon.
1 NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society, has stated emphatically
that in the future the Equitable will
paign funds. The same view was ex-
pressed by Senator Chauncey M. De
pew, both of whom were seen after a
meeting of the executive committee Of
the society.
Mr.. Morton was at first unwilling to
answer questions, but when he was
asked:
Twill the Equitable be contributor
to future campaign funds 2" he answer
ed with decided emphasis:
mot hereafter"
Senator Depew was asked the same
question, and his reply was:
Not if I have any influence to pre-
vent it. / am strongly against life in
surance companies being contributors
to campaign funds. I favor the Eng
lish method, which requires that not
only shall the candidate for Office state
the amount the campaign cost him, but
the campaign managers shall publish a
list showing where their contributions
come from"
at has been shown that the New
York Life contributed $15o,oo0 to Re-
publican campaigns in the last three
presidential elections. Did the Equi-
table contribute as much? Senator
Depew was asked.
He shook his head and laughed as he
answered.:
ooh, don't know anything about
that"
When the joint legislative committee
on insurance inquiry meets tomorrow
the testimony Of George w. Perkins
will be continued and the matter of
political contributions of the New York
Life company will be further probed.
After Mr.. Hughes has finished with
Mr.. Perkins he will place on the wit
ness stand some subordinates for the
purpose Of getting intermediate infor-
nation, and then John A. Mccall, the
president of the company, will be put
on the witness stand, and in view of
his promise to tell all he knows his
testimony is expected to prove very
interesting.

Thomas was kicked in the face. He
was not seriously injured, but the king

The king arrived at the Scottish cap

Holy Rood palace, whence, attended by
the Duke of Connaught and brilliant
staff, he rode to the parade ground in
Kings park, where nearly 10000 Scot

The Important Details of Dress

Embroidered taffeta is employed for
breast and sleeve revers on the fall
coats, the embroidery used as an edging
and done in colors in silk. small floral
designs preferred. If one cannot afford
the hand work, very rich colored gal
looms may be used with good results.
Embroideries will be seen on woolens
as well as silks, this trimming another
feature of the season.
The manufacture of veiveteen has
reached such a stage of perfection, the
dyes now are so good, II will without
doubt prove strong rival to velvet, the
two will be extremely popular with fol-
lowers Of Fashion. Fur trimmings will
be approved. and chiffon waists for the
three-piece velvet suit, the waist Of vel
vet being too warm in our over-heated
houses.
Shouldersare to be broad, almost man
nishly so. and the higher sleeve pun
now in favor gives the desired fullness.
Skirts will be ample Just below the
hips. the bust high. the deep point Of
the girdle in front much the same as last
year As one writer remarks. fashion
tendencies are an aecentuation and de-
velopment Of adopted styles rather
than an introduction Of novel ones.
Which means we may without great
deal Of trouble remodel some Of last
years gowns.
Pale blue Is q good choice for the sep
arste waist. A pretty waist recently
offered was a light-eolored mohair with
open-work embroidery. This can be
easily cleaned. and should meet with
high favor. Sleeves for waists to be
worn save with the strictly short walk
Ing costume. win be Of elbow length or
one even shorter than this favorite.
Which entails very long gloves. and
very long gloves are pretty expensive.
For evenings. It may be a comfort to
know. the long silk glove viii be all

the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust com pany of it's various funds, $344S 8. Ac- cording to the last published statement of the bank it's capital, surplus and undi- vided profits amounted to $109, .26; indi- vidual deposits 1892, ,66S .97
 It will thus be seen that the city's de- posits with this bank were more than three times as much as it's entire capital and surplus, and constituted 3S per cent of the total deposits. If this bank were to become involved. the deposits not bear ing interest would have to be paid in full before the city could share in the dis trbution. In view of these facts, we think it would be wise for the city to bond it's deposits for an amount sufficient to cover them. The city can well afford to do this, as its deposits are now drawing per cent interest per annum. This could not be construed as in anyway retieeting on the bank, as it is becoming the custom where large sums are involved. We have in mind a case in point where the First National bank of Birmingham and the American Trust and Savings bank were required not long ago to give bond for special fund which they had on deposit. Respectfully submitted,

BISSETT HELD ON
 4 SERIOUS CHARGE Was in Charge of General De-
 livery at poStoff1ce
GOT MONEY FROM LETTERS
Was Arrested By Postotfice Inspector Barry Yesterday Afternoon-Marked Bills Were Found on His Per
 son at the Time.

s. F. Bissett, a clerk at the Brming- ham postoffice in charge of the general delivery window, was arrested yesterday afternoon at 3:SO o'clock by Postoffice Inspector Barry on charge of extract ing money from letters passing through his hands.
 He was taken into custody in front of the RanlSn-Tuck Paint store on Second avenue just after he went off duty, and was carried before Commissioner Birch, who required of him a bond in the sum of s15OO for his appearance this morning at 10 o'clock, when he will be given a pre- liminary hearing.
 Bissett furnished tie bond and was re- leased.
 The postoffice officials claim to have positive proof of hds guilt. A decoy letter was used and, it is stated that the mark ed bills sent in the decoy letter were found on the person of Bissett when arr rested.
 It Is claimed that a number of letters have been opened and money extracted at the general delivery window The of- ficials have been at work on the case for some time Several weeks ago Charles s. Ellis whom Bissett succeeded, was arrested on identically the same charge and is now under bond awaiting trial in the federal court. After Ellis arrest Bis sett was promoted to his position and it is claimed that the thefts continued
 Three $1 bills were used in the decoy letter. They were marked by the of- fclals and their numbers taken Yes terday afternoon it was found that the decoy letter had been opened and the Inspector went at once in search of Bis sett He found him in front of the Rankn-Tuck paint store talking to MT. Walter, an employe of the store.
 When told that he was wanted by 1n- spector Barry, Mir Bissett said that he wished to speak to Mr. Walter privately and before receiving permission entered the store hurriedy with Walter it is claimed. The inspector followed and claims that Bissett handed Walter some money requesting that he keep 1t until he called for it. The inspector demanded the money and found that it was the three bills that had been placed in the decoy letter.

Collection Department.

Under the head of Exception to Real and Personal and Merchants Tax" the report says.
 While the statement of collections and navments of the real and personal and merchants tax collector show that only . few errors have been made in account ing for such collections, leaving N.11 due bv him. he has not performed his full dntv in making such collections. num- her of items have been marked off on inc real and personal and merchants tax hooks for the year 1904 consisting of tax on personal property, without authority of inc board While no doubt they were uncollectible. they should not have been marked off without having f1rst been re- farred to the board and it's authority secured for doing so
 In addition to the above the records show that certain parties have been fa- xored bv allowing their taxes to remain ,,nnaid without any attempt to enforce collection as required by law. This fact was SO apparent that the present treas urar and tax collector, who went into of fee last month, deemed 1t necessary to
