THE OBSERVER.

Those who have seen the Wallace
Circus will remember the beautiful
horses and will be glad to know that
the Hagenbeck.wallace Combined
Shows will pay the same attention to
the selection of their stock. The Sc
lection of horses is an important
thing with circus for this feature
is generally noticed and widely com.
mented upon by people along the line
of parade. When the Hagenbeck.
Wallace Shows were combined the
first thing B. E. Wallace did was to
inspect the horses. Fine horses is
his hobby. He made up his mind to
get 400 dapple greys for the big show
and he has done SO but not without a
lot of trouble. After keenly scrutin.
izingthe ensemble of some 500 or 900
horses comprising the stables of the
Hagenbeck and Great Wallace Shows
he started the work of disposing of
the under sized, otf.color stock, and
began the task Of mating and select.
ing 4o' OF one kind. Time, intelli-
gence, patience and perseverance were
necessary in aking the selections. That
he has accomplished the work goes
without saying. as the word fail" is
not in the vocabulary of B. E. Wal.
lace. and when the big series Of tents
spread out over acres or ground at the
beginning of the season, and the sig
nal is sounded for the initial parade
and the Hagenbeck and Great Wallace
Shows open, 400 dappled gray horses
will proudly prance forth pulling the
lengthy, newly painted and construct.
ed chariots. cages, etc, comprising
the parade and 1t will be the first time
in the history of the circus that the
entire stock of draft horses will be
of one color and breeding.

Whitcomb is a philosopher. Here
is one of HIS outbreaks:
"All men of sound mind are honest"
Three kinds of men with unsound
minds are still at large.
The fool. who expects ais clerk to
do sly cheating for him and still re.
main honest with him.
The insane, who expect legitimate
business to pay two for one and keep
doing SO year after year.
The criminal, who misrepresents his
goods to the public.
Deduction-as your employee is war.
ranted in taking you for his model,
do not be surprised If he exhibits
symptoms Of an unsound mind"

Cauuht Whiskers in Safe.

In locking his safe the other night prior to his going home for supper George Edgemont, paperhanger who lives at Jefferson street and Hermit age lane, Manayunk, shut the safe door upon his flowing whiskers and was held until released by his daugh- ter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Edgemont had been out collecting bills during the day. Returning to his office he opened his safe and placed the money in it. He then threw the door shut, catching the end of his beard in the door. In the excitement incident to his odd predicament he forgot the combination and so could not release himself. With his chin resting on the safe he was discov- cred about an hour after the accident by his daughter, who came to find what had delayed him. The safe was broken open by locksmith.

BANKER KILLS SELF
HoWAEL t4iAXWELL SLASHES HIS
 THROAT AND WRIST.
TRAGEDY PRosTRATEs HIS WIFE
President of Borough Bank Gave Ev' cry Dollar He Possessed to Pro-
 tect the Institution.

New York, N. Y. Howard Max well, deposed president of the Bor- ough Bank of Brooklyn, who was un- der indictment for grand larceny and forgery and was Monday night re- leased from jail on $30000 bail, com mitted suicide Tuesday. He cut his throat and left wrist with razor and penknife in the bathroom of his home in Brooklyn and died at Long Island College hospital. Maxwell, who was locked up last Thursday, had felt his humiliation keenly and during his in- carceration had appeared hopelessly Respondent He had, however, given his family no intimatioI, so far as known, that he contemplated suicide. His wife was prostrated by the trag- edy and is under the care of physi. clans
 Maxwell was 49 years of age and leaves a wife. but no children. On Nov 21 he was jointly indicted for grand larceny with former Cashier Ar thur Campbell and Director William Cow of the Borough bank There were other indictments against him, involving forgery in quarterly bank statement made to the state banking department When these three men were arraigned, Campbell and Cow se- cured bondsmen, but to the surprise of many who knew of MaXwelrs pop ularity in financial circles and social ". none offered to go upon his bond. For some time only his four sisters, who, offering the home left them by their mother, who died three days aft CT the bank suspended, could secure only a s10,000 bond, came to his res cue. This desertion on the part Of men to whom he looked for his free dom, it is said, imbittered and de- pressed Maxwell and the despondency increased before his release was brought about. During his arralgn- ment Maxwell's counsel stated that his client had put every dollar in the world that he possessed to secure the bank and that he had absolutely stripped himself to protect the instl- tuition.
