How the Millions in Gold Stored in Its
Bank Are Guarded.
from the Chicago News.


officials of the Bank of England are said
to be worried for the safety of the boards
of wealth stored in their strong boxes. The
bank station of the new underground rail-
way in London is close to the vaults of the
rorld's greatest institution of finance. At a
-ecent meeting Of the bank directors II was
suggested that some brave but wicked per

bullion vaults of the bank conspirators
would have to drive shaft nearly 100
feet and then would face a mass OF con-

Bank Of England was the object of con-

authorities had the church and Its threat

heavy one. Every evening compact body

A Indy who saw forks used for the

the occasion. Henry had In l547 been
rendered magnificent reception In

were used. The royal guest observed

court.

lady, who had never used them be.
fore, that some others were In the same
predicament. She writes:
They never touched the meat with
their fingers. Int with forks, which
they carried 10 their mouths. bending
their necks aud bodies over their
plates.
There were several salads. These
they ute with forks, for II Is not con.
sidered proper to touch the food with
the fingers. However difficult 1t may
De 10 manage II, IL IL thought better
TO put the little forked instrument In
the mouth than the fingers
THE artIchokes, asparagus peas and
beans were brought II was pleasure
TO watch them try TO eat these with
their forks, for some, who were less
adroit than the others, dropped as
many oil their plates and on the way
10 the mouth as they were able to get
10 their mouths.
"Aftcrward great silver basin and
pitcher OF water were brought, and
the guests washed their hands. though
1t seems as II there would not be much
scent of meat aud grease on them. for
they had touched their food only with
those forked instruments"

ACCUSED OF TAKING
MONEY OF COMRADES
J. j. Clausey, Deserving Gun
ner's Mate, Said to Have
Misused Funds.

]. J. Clausey. chief gunner's mate
aboard the gunboat Bennington, has
been posted as deserter He had
been away from the vessel for ten days
without leave. Clausey is supposed TO
have decamped because of certain illegal
financial transactions charged against
him
The missing man was caterer for the
nington- In this capacity he acted as pur-
chasing agent for the mess and was also
delegated by the sailors TO transact busi-
ness for them. Since his departure 1t is
said that unpaid bills aggregating nearly
$1,000 have been presented at the ship. II
is also said that the amount viii not ex-
ceed 500. Clausey was given money TO
pay all bills contracted by him for the
mess and the sailors.
One of the principal creditors is Thomas
Green, Vallejo laundry man, who has a
home at 179. Grove street in this city. He
says there Is due him $3.50 for laundry
done by him at Clausey's order for sail
ors and petty officers on the Benning-
ton. Kingston. the Potrero grocer, is
said to have a bill OF nearly $500 for
various goods supplied.
The chief petty officers belonging TO the
mess for which Clausey purchased say
they Will pay the bills against the mess.
The Bennington sailed yesterday morn
ing for Honolulu.
