FORGOTTEN MONEY

NEW YORK, Feb, 1.-THE late
panic has served to bring to light IN a
striking manner the carelessness OF
the average New Yorker in regard 70
his money. The largest institution IN
the city which was forced to close Its
doors after a run, and is now attempt-
ing to reorganize, is seriously hamp-
cred in its efforts to secure the neees-
sary sanction of its depositors to the
plans mapped out on account OF the
fact that there are more than 500 such
depositors with deposits OF more than
half million dollars, who are either
lost, strayed or stolen and cannot be
found. When the depositors' commit
tee began its work OF securing con-
sent for the scheme OF reorganization
which it decided upon, it early dis
covered that half a thousand deposi-
tors seemed to have forgotten all
about their money. Two. whose de-
posts were over $4,000 each, were
only located after weeks OF search
and much expense and both were
very much surprised to discover that
they had this money on deposit, since
all record of it had escaped their
minds. That any one should forget a
matter of $4,000 cash seems unbe-
lievable, yet the records show that
more than 500 persons have done
Just this in regard to sums in varying
amounts. In one case a new wealthy
man had deposited $4,000 in 1884
and had forgotten all about. He was
therefore very much surprised when
informed that he had at present near
ly $4,000 standing to his credit
Still further evidence of the New
Workers. carelessness in regard to
money is instanced by the fact that
in the care of this single institution
there are more than one hundred ac-
counts standing in the names OF per-
sons deceased whose families OF exc
cutors have never even obtained let
tiers of administration. In view OF
these figures it seems probable that
a good many million dollars are ly-
ing in New York banks whose own-
ers have forgotten about them en-
tirely.

New York is likely to have no less
than three entries in the race for
nomination honors at the Chicago
convention next June. 1t is well
known that Secretary Cortelyou Is the
principal dark-horse candidate. 1t is
already settled that Governor Hughes
will be the States iavorite son and
will receive the votes of the States
delegates. The third aspirant, who
NAV be called an adopted son candi-
date. so far as New York is concern
ed, is ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, formerly of Iowa and more re-
Gently at the head of a well-known
trast company of this city. Having
made $4,000 in the year that he
has occupied this position the buzz
ing of the presidential bee has drawn
the ex-Secretary away from Wall
street to the political arena. While
his precise plans for securing share
of the Chicago delegates have been
kept secret, his purpose is indicated
by the announcement of prominent
publishing house that it is about to
bring out a book by Mr.. Shaw and
that the title of the book is Current
Issues. Whether of not he has the
delegates Shaw has the platform on
which he is willing to run all set
forth in black and white and nobody
can complain that they do not know
where he stands on the tariff, cur
rency or any other pending question
fo rit is all in the book. Whether or
not this novel plan of campaigning
helps his political fortunes, Shaw
book is very timely and likely to find
good many readers who will want tc
have a clear exposition of the II
trancascies of currency and tariff
questions. At any rate the ex-Sec
retary has gone the Taft postal care
campaign one better.

Nowhere else in the world has tim

proofs are so closely interviewer

any newspaper review would be

Camp Meeting John Allen was one

governor came down to his Office In n

day. Those familiar with the storm

for an explosion. 1t came. One of the
FIRST letters opened was from CamD

approached his chief with some hesita-
ton

the missive gingerly on the governors

The governor read it through and
blazed away for a few minutes; then.

For instance. King John OF England
has always been regarded. whether al

taken captive by the Black Prince. and
John Balliol OF Scotland was most
thoroughly despised by his country
men on account OF his fawning atti-
tude toward the English. Robert III.
Of Scotland changed HIS name from
John. but this did not save him from
his destiny. He himself was n cripple

John /. OF Bohemia was blind. The
Pope John I. was imprisoned by the
king Of the Goths. and Pope John Y.

SAVED BY HIS TEETH.
Quick Wit of a Missionary Among a
Tribe of CannibaIs.

tribe OF CannIbalS.
Missionaries have much TO contend
with in dealing with the tribes on
some OF the islands Of the southern
Pacific, and l am reminded Of IN in
cident happening on a remote island
OF the Fiji group whose tribes were
still Influenced by the savagery OF
cannibalism. 4 German missionary
had made excellent progress toward
the enlightenment of n tribe OF saw
ages in the interior when he was TAX
en- III and forced to abandon his work
and seek recuperation in village
along the coast.
During his absence n native medicine
man succeeded in undoing all that the
good German father had accomplished.
The latter was warned that under the
circumstances Ii would be unsafe for
him to return TO the scene Of his la
bors upon his recovery. but he decid-
ed that his duty called him there. and
upon regaining his strength he Jour
neyed inland to the village whose in
habitants had gone over 10 the teach
ings Of the medicine man.
His reception was decidedly n warm
one, and he was informed that unless
he made n practical demonstration OF
the superiority of his teachings over
those OF the medicine man he would
be converted in short ordee into food
for the hungry tribesmen. lie at once
realized that his life hung upon n
slender thread and endeavored TO show
TO the savages by argument that their
conclusions as 10 his edible qualities
were entirely erroneous and that they
should turn their thoughts TO other
kinds of food as we'll as TO higher sub
jects
His efforts were In vain. however.
and just as he was about TO be struck
down by the uplifted clubs Of the chief
men in the tribe he happily bethought
himself Of the fact that his upper teeth
were false. Opening his mouth, he
hastily extracted his set, flourished it
in the faces OF his astounded oppo-
nentS. and particularly the features of
the medicine man, and, replacing the
teeth as suddenly as he had extracted
them, rebuked his charges in a man
ner which can better be imagined than
described. The tribe, believing that
he had perfornn6 n miracle In taking
out and replacing his own teeth, drove
the medicine man from the village and
restored the missionary to his former
place as uplifter of their material and
spiritual stinies.-Washington Star.
