Save for creeping and crawling
things, the wilderness Of today holds
little Of life. In its near impenetra-
bic depths are some few irreconcil-
abIes, or descendants Of such as would
not meet the issue Of the war. There
are the Weedons-three aged negroes
who early anticipated the incOmpat-
ibility OF whites and blacks, and
sought a home far remote from their
former overseers. Still further into
the depths Of the wild tract lives
Sergeant John Dason Of the regular
army, with his wife and son, famous

Mason was sergeant OF the guard
placed over Guiteau, the slayer Of
Garfield. In a moment Of indiscre-
ton he fired at his charge through a
grated door Of the Washington prison,
the bullet missing Guiteau by but a
few inches. For this Mason was SEN
fenced to government prison, being re-
leased few years later. During his
imprisonment the fancy grew upon
him that his felIow-men bore him i'll

70 defeat g practical and honest plan
suggested by COngrezman Victor
burdock OF Kansas for approximating
the daily weight OF the mails carried
BY the railroads at a profit which has
been proved extortionats and piraticaL
Congressman Murdock's sole purpose
has been 70 place this service which
the railroads perform for the govern
ment on a fair business basis he
suggests such an arrangement as any
parties to a private contract would re-
quIre, and without which they would
not think OF dealing.
The point OF order Is that 1Iur-
docks system OF Weighing would raise
q question as to meaning OF q certain
word in the existing laW-the word
working" This technically, by the
grace Of those congressman who place
themselves on the side Of the conten-
ton that the railroads are justified in
using six for a weight divisor instead
OF seven, will work the govern
ment for about i've million dollars a
year. This is such a mere bagatelle
for the postOf6ce department to pay In
excess Of what is q rightful eompensa-
ton that the house does not seem TO
regard It as worth saving. After all
it's the government that's robbed, and
what's the difference? Besides, there
is the tremendous consideration that
"a point OF order" is upheld, and this
should count as gain against any per-
sonaI loss that the national treasury
can suffer.
But nothing can defraud Congress

: New York, July 1S.-Tbe recent
bank defalcations which eliminated
IN the sensational robbery Of the
Windsor Trust company by It's model
teller Runyan, have resulted in
bringing into public notice the fact,
!. already known to men versed In the
ways Of Wall street, that thefts by

IN accordance with the responsibility
The surety companies, for their own
particular reasons, are cooperating
with the banks and other institutions
whdoh have called upon them 20 make

PROTEST AT SPY SYSTEM.

So close is this watch, indeed, that
complaints have recently been made
by men who resented the suspicion
they have to endure. These men have
demanded to know why they are be-
ing followed. They have been soothed,
but the vigilance has not been re-
laxed
From information furnished by one
Of the detective bureaus, reporters
have ascertained that stealing has be.
come so common In the financial dis
trict that practically every man hand
ling funds Is now under surveillance.
And the chief reason for this suspicion
is said TO be the knowledge that men
in such positions are tempted-here
more than in any other American city
to speculate in stocks.
The record of embezzlements shows
in most cases that the proceeds of the
thefts have been frittered away by
dabbling In the stock market, A for
tune has been hoped for by the EN-.
bezzler, but has not been realized.
EASY TO STEAL CASH.
John g. Jenkins, president OF the
Jenkins Trust company, who has been
identified with the local banking
world for more than thirty years, and
whose father was president Of the
First National Bank, said:
ANY man who has access 10 the
vaults where the cash is kept can
make off with sums Of money either
in lump or In small amounts, and
the officials will know nothing Of II
until all the cash In the vault has
been counted.
HE can DO this in several ways.
In the first place, he can pick up
package OF bills, slip them into his
pocket, and later pass them TO a con.
federate outside, or he can take the
same roll Of bills when he goes to
luncheon and hide II with a perfect
feeling Of assurance that the money
In the vault will not be counted while
be is out.
Another way Is for him TO take the
money just before he sets the time
lock for the closing OF the vault after
banking hours. Still another way is
70 abstract one or more bills from a
bundle which has been counted. This
,annot be detected until the money IL
>ounted again, and in the case Of large
bills this does not happen every day.
