The story that a young Englishman
who Is employed by one OF the large
life insurance companies, trampled on
an American flag In the cOmpany's Of
flee. has aroused the ire OF the mem
bers OF the Star Spangled Banner asso-
citation, which has formally demanded
OF the company that the man be dis
charged.
II is said that following the Incl
dent Of the insult 10 the flag two Am
erican clerks in the Office gave the Eng
lishman thrashing. The association,
which has for an object the punish
ment Of insults 10 the flag, has elected
the two Americans 10 honorary mem

At the state house It was said that
the wardens would keep up the cam

ceases. For some considerable time
after the enactment Of general laws
which made il possible for officers OF
any individual state TO prosecute
whether the plumage came from a
bird killed in that particular state or

Upward OF 81, ,000, 900, the owners of
which are unknown, is now lying in
the banks Of New England. This
great sum is carried on the books OF
the institutions as unclaimed. More
than 100000 Of this Is in the banks OF
Massachusetts, one Boston company
having about $lS0,000 drawing inter-
est and compound interest for some
stranger 10 its officers.
Even advertising in compliance
with the law has failed TO find an
owner for over 80 percent Of these
deposits.
Since the advertising OF these de-
posits. termed dead mems money"
letters and afiidavits have come 4 ON
the four points of the compass. Sew
eral attorneys i'm Boston have been in
teresting themselves TO locate the par
ties who can present sufficient claims
for these moneys TO get some.
I'm all, only a little over percent
OF these advertised unclaimed deposits
have been paid. The largest amount
known 10 have been paid TO such
claimant has been $l347.6i, which
had been accumulatng for nearly 26
years.
The lists published in this country
furnish quite commentary on racial
traits. The explanation Of the alb
seuce Of German, Italian and Russian
names i'm the list of unclaimed depos-
it's is that such depositors are too
thrifty to lose sight OF their ac-
counts wherever they may go or wher-
ever they may be. Nearly all the
names of the depostors in the list are
England, Irish and Scotch.
There are several reasons for mon
ey lying unclaimed, the commonest
being that the owner forgets all about
IT, Dollars and cents are about the
last thing people forget, but there are
many depositors whose accounts lie
untouched for this very reason. An
other great reason is that the owner
dies, the receipt is lost, and the exist
euce Of the deposit Is unknown to the
next Of kin.
Banks are continually besieged by
relatives or friends. who. having seen
the man enter the bank during his
life. became convinced that he must
have made deposits there of which
they are being consciously and pur-
posely kept in ignorance by the bank
itself. Occasionally such inquiries do
lead to the discovery of unrecordel
deposits, and in such cases the money
comes like a gift from the gods.

That much OF the present day church
music has deteriOrated until it is a dis
grace, is the opinion expressed by Prof.
Morgan, choir leader at the Baptist
Temple, Brooklyn, before a Methodist
ministers meeting a few days ago.
Professor Morgan made a plea for bet
ter music and surprised the clergy
men by declaring that too often in
evangelical churches the music, sup
posed to be sacred, is of the rag time
variety and the words set to the music
dopgerel.
The music has deteriorated and re-
trogTaded," he said, land has lost its
inspiring influence in many churches.
Many OF the old so-called hymns are a
disgrace to the church and to music"
Professor Morgan illustrated his re-
marks by playing several airs on an or
gan; then he played the pilgrims
chorus" from Tannhauser.
Now, gentlemen he went on. do
you regard that music as sacred or pro-
fane?"
Many of the clergymen declared that,
despite the air being taken from an
opera. il should be classed as sacred
music.
