necessary sanction of it's depositors to | the plans mapped out on account of
 the fact that there are more than five , hundred such depositors with deposits who are either lost, strayed or stolen and cannot be found. When the de- | positors committee began it's work of securing consent for the scheme of re- organization which it decided upon, it early discovered that half thousand depositOrs seemed to have forgotten all about their money. Two. whose deposits were over S2O.O00 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 anyone should forget a matter of $20,000 cash seems unbelievable, yet 1 the records show that more than 800 l persons have done just this in regard to sums in varying amounts. In one case, a now wealthy man had depos- ited $12,000 in 1884 and had forgotten all about it. He was therefore very much surprised when informed that
 he had at present nearly S25.00O stand ing to his credit. Still further evil
 dence of the New Workers carelessness
 in regard to money was instanced by
 the fact that in the care of this single institution there are more than one hundred accounts standing in the names of persons deceased whose fam lilies or executors have never obtained
 letters of administration. In view of these figures it seems probable that a
 good many million dollars are lying in
 New York banks whose owners have forgotten about them entirely.
 New York is likely to have no less
 than three entries in the race for nom-
 ination honors at the Chicago conven-
 tion next June. It is well known that
 Secretary Cortelyou is the principal
 dark horse candidate It is already
 settled that Governor Hughes will be
 the states favOrite son and will re-
 ceive the votes of the states dele
 gates. The third aspirant. who may
 be called an adopted son candidate. so
 far as New York is concerned. is Ex-
 Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, form
 erly of Iowa and moro recently at the
 head of well-known trust company
 Of this city. Having made over $1O0.-
 900 in the year dhat he has occupied
 this position the buZzing of the presi-
 dental bee has driven the ex-secretary
 away from Wall street to the political
 arena. While his precise plans for se-
 curing a share of the Chicago dele
 gates have been kept secret. his pur-
 pose is indicated by the announcement
 of prominent publishing house that
 it is about to bring out a book by Mir
 Shaw and that the title of the book is Current Issues" Whether or not he
 has the delegates Shaw has the plat form on which he is willing to run all set forth in black and white and mo- body can complain that they do not
 know where he stands on the tariff. currency or any other pVding question for it is all in the book. Whether or not this novel plan of campaigning helps his political fortunes. MT Shaw's book is very timely coming as it does on the eve of a presidential campaign
 and it is likely to find d good many readers who Will want to have a clear exposition of the intricacies of cur rency and tariff questions At any rate the eX-secretary has gone the Taft postal card campaign one better.
