The Nickname.

The public man In America who
has never been tagged with a nick
name may be just as efficient and
worthy OF praise as his brethern who
are known as "Bill'' and "JOe." but
he has not achieved an equal measure
of popularity. Mechanics are Oftener
inspired by affection than by aversion.
1.-THE men of the people," so-called,
are invariably nicknamed. Venerable
citizens still refer to ABE" Lincoln,
dwelling with reminiscent affection
upon the abbreviation. Nicknames
both good and bad are as old as his
tory. In this country the people have
way of abbreviating the names OF
the men they really like and assign.

prefer dignity to pOpularity.-Pittss

and Missing.

A tornado swept through Bellevue,
Texas, Thursday night and destroyed
everything in its path, and as re-
suit the entire town is mass of
ruins. Only three buildings are now
standing, and at least fifteen per-
sons are dead, and number are in
iured. The tornado was followed by
fire which consumed the wreckage.
This report was sent from the top
of telephone pole mile from
Bellevue. but it is as close as a wire
can be had. The town of Bellevue
consisted of over POO houses.
The whole business section of the
town and all stocks of merchandise
were destroyed.
The fact that so few were killed is
accounted for by the fact that every
house was practically equipped with
a storm cellar.

capable by reason of age and infirmi-
ty to care for herself was received at a
poor house. In removing her wretched
garments for new and clean ones it
was found that a crumpled paper was
sewn into the lining. Investigation
revealed bank deposit receipt for
one hundred pounds, or five hundred
dollars, in the name ofthe new inmate,
and dated twenty-five years previous
ly. The poor old woman declared she
remembered nothing about it, and, in
fact, disowned it.
Another great reason that moneys
lie unclaimed is that the owner dies,
the receipt is lost and the existence of
the deposit is unknown by the next of
kin. This seems to have peculiar
fascination for heirs. Banks are con-
tinually besieged by relatives or
friends who having seen the deceased
enter the bank during his life become
convinced that he must have had a
deposit there of which they are being
purposely kept ignorant by the bank
itself Occasionally inquiries do lead
to the discovery of forgotten or I'M
recorded deposits, and IN such cases
the money certainly comes like a gift
from the gods to the unexpectant

IN WHICH BANK is YOURS?
MANY FORGOTTEN MILLIONS ARE
IN BANKS OF THE COUNTRY.
Funds in Chancery Would Pay The
British National Debt. Dead
Ones" i'm New York Banks.

1t has been variOusIV estimated
that in banks and trust companies of
this city, there is from two hundred
thousand to as many million dollars
worth of dead or unclaimed ac-
counts, says a New York special. In
most cases these sums originate from
small depositOrs who have Withdrawn
their accounts and have neglected to
come around for odd sums which re-
main after their main accounts have
been taken out. Very often deposits
are made by persons who, having
lodged their nest-egg IN safety, never
return again to the nest and, in case
there is no will, their heirs never
know of the existence of the money so
deposited.
Some time ago the state endeavored
take these sums from the banks
and keep them as government trust,
but this action was unsuccessfully OPP
posed by the banks in court, their
credit being judged adequate security
for the trust. Now, no banks con-
tinue to pay interest upon accounts
unless the owner appears and has his
deposit vouchers renewed at least
once every fifteen years.
In New York City there is a man
familiar to bank officials whose sole
business is looking up heirs for those
unclaimed sums. He first ascertains,
by one way or another, what sums are
lying dead" and have been so lying

SCHOOL OF SOCIALISM.
New Departure In Public Educa-

Mrs. E. D. Rand Of Burlington, Ia,
who died last year, bequeathed about
100000 to endOw a school of Social
ism, says Everybody's Magazine. For
twenty-five years the income will be
used ito provide an intellectual center
for the Socialistic movement in the
United States" This intellectual cen
ter will be established in the city Of
New York, and it is hoped to form
branch schools in other cities.
There will be a building with read
ing and meeting rooms and lecture
courses on Socialism, popular science,
the relation of the different arts and
literature to social development. Teach
ers and workers in Socialism will be
trained General culture will also be
given. Distinguished foreign Social
lists will be imported. Finally the
school will try to collect and furnish
correct information about Socialism for
the use of teachers and writer's not So
cialists. The school will be opened

for a number of years, and under
what circumstances they were origi-
nally deposited. Then, by means
known only to himself, he finds the
lawful heirs, who gladly give a large
commission for the money so uneX-
pectedly falling to them.
An official of the Trust Company of
America, about the eighth largest
company in deposits in the United
States, said recently: 1--WE have not
many dead accounts, but such as we
have sometimes give rise to curious
instances. Not long ago two men,
negroes, appeared with a white friend
who introduced them as the lawful
heirs to sum which had been lying
untouched and unclaimed on our
books for a number of years. Their
claims were thoroughly looked into,
and really proved to be true. The ex-
preston of JOY upon their faces of
those two darkies when they we're
handed their money is impossible to
describe 1t was like a gift from the
gods, unexpected, but delightfully."- well
come.
In England there is no legal pro-
vision for unclaimed bank accounts
as there is in this country, and in
France, where the law requires that
every five years all banking institu-
tions publish the names and last
/ known addresses of owners of dor
mant or unclaimed accounts. 1t has
| been estimated that in Chancery the
Bank of England and the thousands
of private English banking houses
there is a total sum of over twelve
million dollars unclaimed.
The thought of so much wealth lying
unused, unowned, unsought for, has
driven many weak-minded persons in
to insanity and given bank officials
many painful moments. An old man,
for instance, kept calling for many
years at a well known banking estab-
lishment asking to be paid certain
moneys which he declared had been
left to him. OF course it was delu-
sion, but he would never believe so,
and after each denial would retire
consoling himself with the magma
ton that his money was every day in
creasing.
There are several weIl-recognized
reasons why money often falls under
the category of the great unclaim-
ed" the commonest one being, strange
as it may seem, that the owner or de.
positor has forgotten about it. Il
would seem that dollars and cents
would be one of the last things in the
world that a person would forget, yet
in the five or six thousand banks in
Britain today there are not few de,
positors whose accounts lie unclaimed
from this cause alone.

penniless woman who had become in

NO RAIN IN FOURTEEN YEARS.
The Dryest Spot in the World Is
Located in Chill.


Located in Chill.
1.-THE most parched country in the
world is located on the west coast Of
South America, =" said Captain Reid,
master of the British steamship Au-
chenerag, which arrived at ThOmp-
sons Point, Philadelphia, from Iqui-
qui and Taetal, with cargo of nj
trate of soda for the Dupont nitro
glycerine works at Gibbsboro. When
the Auchenerag left Iquiqui it had not
rained in fourteen years, although
the tops of the Andes were at times
snow-capped.
The houses, as rule, have no
roofs, and German firm that sent a
shipment of umbrellas to Taetal would
have met with a total loss had not an
enterprising local dealer remarked the
invoice parasols. The deposits of nj
trate of soda are the principal wealth
of the country. and they have paid
the debt of Chill several times, as it
is the only part of the world where
the mineral is found.
