which he lent on worthless collateral
to a concern called the Guarantors
company. He foisted the securities of

exposure threatened, he prepared
himself for death and eased his con-

Nipple always sought, in the employ
ment of clerks, to bring in young men
who were members and regular COM
municants in some church. He did not
differentiate as to denomination. In
addition to refusing to have as clerks
any users of tobacco or liquor he was
opposed to any Of his employees reading
Sunday newspapers or visiting race
tracks. AS there are no race tracks
in Philadelphia, New York was the
nearest place for those who sought
that form of amusement.
President Nipple learned about a
year after the Real Estate company
was organized that one of his young
men had visited Sheepshead bay and
had won a five-dollar bet. The presi.
dent took him into his private Office
and prayed with him. He gave him q

Without any previous knowledge OF
newspaper making he succeeded In
gaining control of small newspaper
called the Public Record. He changed
it's makeup and its general method of
treatment of the topics OF the day, and
astonished the town by reducing the
price to one cent.
He became Democratic candidate
for governor and made a canvass of
the state in a special train. He had
then gone into the breeding of blood

100000 In stake and bets by Nor
relic in the season of 1892.
Spreading out still further, Singer.
ly went into banking and organized
two institutions. Reckless loans drove
him to the wall, and in 1897 both
banks failed.
On February q, 1898, Mr.. Singerly
died suddenly in his home. The story
was given out that heart disease had
carried him OF, aggravated by his
financial troubles. After his death
the community was startled to learn
that he was in debt to the defunct
Chestnut Street bank to the extent of
100000, which he had borrowed on
collateral security of $75,009.

JOSEPH 6. DITMAN,

Joseph G. Ditman, president of the
Quaker City National bank, disap-

it was believed he had been robbed
and murdered. After drive through
Fairmount park his empty carriage
and the horse were found. Search for
the banker continued for q month.
Detectives went to all parts of the
United States and large rewards were
offered. Forty days after his disap-
pearance the decomposed body of the
banker was found floating in the
Schuylkill river.
Ditman was brought up in the paper
manufacturing business, and abandon
ed it to go into banking. He discount
ed paper for his old-time associates on
the flimsiest sort Of collateral. He
sunk thousands of dollars in silver
mine in South Carolina. He went into
the printing business to recoup his
losses, and lost more, and in less than
two years, through his wildcat specula-
tion, and lack Of care, he was stripped
of every dollar he possessed. His
mind became affected and the suicide
theory was generally accepted, not
withstanding the judgment of the cor
oner's jury that he was drowned by
accident.

some reason everybody had donned

MUSICAL CANES in MUSEUM.
Violin and Flutes Made In Imitation
Of Walking Sticks.

Among the queer instruments In the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art, New
York, are cane violin and three cane
flutes. The former is peculiar, mar
row instrument of small size, but per-
feet in every detail, made in imitation
Of a walking stick and furnished with
an ornamental knob handle. The
strings are held by small iron pins
and are tuned with key. When not
in use small bow slips within the
stick and a round cover, held by metal
bands, conceals the clever little in
strument. The length Of the violin is
two feet IL inches, and It's greatest
width is one and three-Quarters inches.
It is a German conceit, and dates
from the nineteenth century. Like
the cane violin, the cane flute is also
Of German make, but 1t dates from
early in the eighteenth century. The
flute is in c, and Is made Of light
wood ornamented with turned bands
of the same color and finished with
knob. The lower Joint is solid. It
has six finger holes and one fiat brass
key. The instrument is blown at the
side like the transverse flute, and Is
an excellent sounder. It is three feet
long, and it requires a close inspec-
ton to see that the cane contains q
flute.
