CIRcUMsr4NTI4L EVIDGNoE.

What circumstantial evidence may be
is illustrated by an Incident reported
from Ludwigsburg, Germany. At din
ner there one of the company WAS
showing a very rare gold coin, which
passed around the table on plate and
gave rise to many suggestions as to
it's age, country, value, etc. The con-
versation then gradually branched, off
to other subjects, till the coin was for
gotten, and on the owner asking for it
back, to the surprise of all it was not
to be found. A. gentleman sitting at
the foot of the table was observed to be
in much agitation, and his embarrass-
ment seemed to increase. with the con-
tinuance Of the search; the company
were about to propose a very disagree
able measure, when suddenly a waiter
entered the room, saying: Here is the
coin; the cook has just found it in one
of the finger glasses" The relief to all
was mantfest; and now the suspected
stranger for the first time spoke as fol-
lows: Gentlemen, none of you can re-
fjoice more than myself at the recovery
Of the coin, for picture to yourselves
my painful situation. BY a singular
coincidence have a duplicate of the
very .sarie coin in my purse! (here
showing It to the company. The idea
that on a personal search, which prob
ably would be proposed, would be
taken as the purloiner of the coin, add
ed to the fact that I am a stranger
here, with no one to vouch for my in
tegrity, had almost driven me distract
ed. The honesty of the cook and the
lucky accident has saved my honor"
The friendly congratulations of the
company soon effaced the remembrance
of their unjust suspicious.
The moral of this story seems to be:
Believe nothing you hear, and be care
full about believing what you see.

MORE IETEROGEASTo RAILROADS
Of making many books there is no
end, and the end of making many rail-
roads on this continent is not in sight.
No less than four interoceanic railroads
are now being constructed across Gen.
trail America. Within three years the
Pacific Coast of I'VE republics will be
brought into rail connection with the
Atlantic Coast and with the Atlantic
ports Of the United States. The Guate-
maIa Northern. 2e6 miles long, extends
from Puerto Barrios via the capital to
San Jose. on the Pacific. The Hondu-
ras Interoceanic. 24O miles long. is
mostly a government enterprise. part
of which is completed. The Nicaragua
Interoeeanic extends from Granada via
Managua to Corinto, on the Pacific,
being broken by bits of lake navigation.
The Costa Rican Interoceanic
stretches across the Isthmus from the
Caribbean port of Limon via San Jose,
the capital. to Tivives. 1t lacks but
little of completion. Two other inter
oceanic roads are in contemplation.
The mountain backbone of the Isthmrs
has hitherto prevented easy connection
between parts of the Isthmian repub-
lies. but this political and commercial
drawback will now be remedied. The
little known republic, San Salvador,
will be brought by the new railroads
into communication with the, United
States.
These new interoeeanic routes. to-
gether with the thirteen other existing
oceanic routes, will be competitors of
the Panama canal. But we must and
will have the canal.

IN 0LD sTokY n E1OLD.

| A national bankruptcy law runs for
awhile and then it is discovered to be
provocation to and a cloak for dishon-
esty. So determined attack has been
made on the present national bank
ruptcy law in the House Committee on
| Judiciary by several distinguished
members of that committee. 1t was
declared that the original intent of the
law had been entirely lost sight of, and
| that it is now used by dishonest debt
ors as means of escaping payment of
their Just obligations. The upshot of
the discussion was the appointment of
subcommittee with instructions to
| draft a bill repeating the bankruptcy
law or suggesting radical amendments
that will put an end to the existing
abuses.
The outbreak against the law was the
result of a hearing that the committee
was giving on the bills introduced in
of Brooklyn, proposing amendments to
the act. One of Mr.. Bassett's bills re-
quires the consent of the owners of half
the proved claims in amount before the
courts can give a discharge of man
from his debts; the other bill requires
notice to be given to every alleged
bankrupt before the appointment of g.
temporary receiver. Mr.. Bassett was
present and gave facts and figures col
lected in New York and elsewhere to
show that the bankruptcy law is being
perverted from it's intended use as a
help to honest debtors, and is now much
more the means of accomplishing
frauds. He said that probably a ma
jority Of the merchants and manufact-
urers of our large cities would like to
see it repealed; that those who strongly
favored its retention are the credit men
of the very large wholesale houses who
give credit all over the country and
prefer the system winch allows them 10

aside the proceedings of State courts.
Mr.. Rassett further declared that un-
less the law is soon modified to prevent
the present free discharge from debts it
will become a scandal and the people
will demand it's entire abolition. He

and out out every day, a close study
Of the case would be without interest.
The memory of the best clerks, in the
business is nothing short of marvellous
and it takes years Of training to acquire
the art.
For instance, a man will come in and
register. The clerk never has seen him
. before, but he always watches him
write his name and makes a picture of
him, together with that name. in his
mind. Maybe forty or fifty more
strangers will come to the desk and
put their names on the book. ask for
keys and letters, and continually come
and go before that other man comes
around again. But when he does re-
turn and, maybe. says, Give me my
mail, please. if have any," the clerk
does not have to ask him his name, as
any other man would do but simply
runs over the. letters, or hands him the

with the first letter of the guests name.

any other line of business" said w. B.
te'AOys III the Nnluiduu I1Olel, last QlSlI.
1T is necessary that hotel clerks learn
to remember names we'll. Maybe a man
who has been in the hotel only short
time will come up to the desk and the
clerk will speak to him as If he knew
him. Then If the man calls for his key
and you couldn't remember his name
You would be in sad predicament.
Many times a clerk will turn to the key
case, not remembering the mans name,
but look at the case will recall the
number to his memory and he will be
all right. Then again man will come
to the desk and ask for his mail. BY
glancing at the register and seeing
his initials, though before you looked
you had forgotten them, his name will
