The Chicago story recalls other defal-
cations. During General Spinners ad-
ministration In Washington a theft was
soon discovered. An employee named
johnson carried from his desk $4,000.
and in toiletroom on the same floor
handed 1t to an accomplice. The money
was soon missed and recovered, and the
thief arrested. In Chicago the loss was
unknown for some time, and tracing was
more difficult. There as the money stolen
was nearly all of gold certificates for
$1,000, It could not well be put into cir
culation, for such bills attract notice.
and only brokers, or banks, can handle
them.
The treasurer of the United States and
the assistant treasurers, with the super
intendents Of the minis and assay offices
are custodans Of the public funds. They
each are responsible for every dollar
which they receive and are accountable
for the acts of their several subordinates.
They give bonds not only for their own
fidelity but for that of every one Of their
employees For the New York sub-trea-
sury the amount is sico 900: for the main
office in Washington 1t was fixed at
800. 900 when the business was such less
than now, and still remains at that figure.
Either Is nominal In It's ratio to the funds
under control and to the number of sub
ordinates covered. Disaster by fraud and
conspiracy might run over the bond.
Only a very few of the persons In minor
positions give similar security, and then
/ only for n fraction Of the sums within
| their reach. The treasurer cannot know
| the habits and expenses Of the five hun
! dred persons who work In his office. He
| may warn n clerk to stop gambling or
| PLAYING the races, and find that such
| practices do not prevent the transfer OF
| the offender to oven a better position in

stealing is proved. tho local courts may
! impose n slight penalty, and influence in
high quarters may seek for pardon and

CURIOUS SIGHTS IN A FAMOUS
CENETERY.

Few travellers. whether for business or
pleasure. who come within easy distance
of Genoa fail to spend at least day IN
the city of hills. in order to visit this
famous Campo Santo, which. as burial
place. has no equal in the world. Tho
peculiar arrangement. the richness of the
monuments, and the wcll-dsposed shrub
berry give one the impression of an artis-
tic garden rather than a cemetery, for
there Is little to suggest the latter rs It
Is suggested in the modern cemeteries in
our country. Truly it is a wonderful sight,
with it's great colonnades and Its groups
of statuary, and even If one has not the
morbid curiosity Of many who find 1t
pleasure bic to inspect the burial-pla ces
of large cities he may profitabiy spend
an hour or two in this solemn precinct,
where sculptors principally natives Of
Genoa. have works which would make
any one famous. Laid out N the form
of huge square, the centre Is planted
with shrubs and flowers. and here the
,ooer classes are buried. each grave be-
ing marked with a small stone and a
lantern Of fanciful design hanging at
either end In the lofty corridors OF
marble which extend around the entire
square are the tombs and monuments OF
the wealthy and noble of Genoa
The corridors are about fifteen feet in
width and are lined on either side with
groups of statuary, all OF which are OF
life size. and the majority OF which are
faithful portraits of those whom they
commemorate. Very curious to foreign
