the members Of the directory, spread
a feeling Of fear and apprehension as
they noted his ashen pallor and trem.
bling limbs. Before he spoke they
knew that a crushing blow was about
to fall upon the institution.
"Gentlemen," he said at last, II
nave a painful statement to make =
the confession that have misdirected
the funds OF this bank and that an
examination OF the books, and com.
parlson Of the figures, will show that

and have to offer toward compensat.
ing the bank are personal securities
valued at 100000"
This confession came upon the
directors like thunderbolt. They
had appreheEded some vague misfor-
tune, but the announcement that the
bannk's funds had been drawn upon to
the extent admitted by President
Bfgelow, was Of character almost be-
yond comprehension. It was later
learned that the total amount would
reach round million and half, and
from that time on the board OF direc.
tors devoted themselves to the gigaa.
tic task OF attempting to deal with
the condition confronting them.
INSISTED ON PUNISHMENT.
After thirty. six hours of delibera.
tion they had reached but one con.
clusion, and that the necessity for
pledging individual amounts which
would more than cover the defalca-
tion. One Of the suggestions made
was that the interests of the bank he
protected by permitting the president
to resign and 90 to Europe, while the
directors made good the amount of
the embezz'ement, but this proposal
met the sturdy opposition of other
directors who insisted upon the pun
ishment OF the defaulter The above
Is a sad story. If 1t involved the
guilty party alone 1t would not be so
sad, but 1t involves innocent men and
women, the family Of the defaulter.
The way OF the transgressor Is indeed
hard. B!gelow went to bed one night
respected and woke up next morning
with the prospect Of years to be spent
In prison, and with that knowledge
that.h his family will be left penni!ess
when the sacrifices they contemplate
nave been made. All because he
gambled in wheat and stocks.

The speaker while addressing his hear

frequently evoking their applause, laid
indirectly at the door OF the United

that the numerous cases of hardship

imposed by over-Zealous American Of

boyCotters of American goods are not
released. The consul has written to
the vicerov asking him to prohibit an
anti-American mass meeting which II
is proposed to hold in Canton, but the
viceroy apparently is Indifferent.
The American consul today pro-
ceeded to Lien Chow. in order to make
an official investigation OF the recent
massacre of American missionaries
there. The Chinese authorities will be
represented by the Taotai.
