The Decline of Bank Burglary.

Previous to 1893 there was seldom year that
the losses through bank burglaries did not
amount to 100000. and in number OF years the
losses amounted to several times that amount
The decline of professional bank burglary dates
from 1895. In that year the American Bankers
Association formed protective committee for
the determination of bank burglars. and con-
tract was entered into with one of the leading
detective agencies in the country.
In 1895 the banks of the country lost more than
100000 through burglaries. Of the 1888 mem
bers last year, having an aggregate surplus,
capital and deposits of more than $l2OOO.OOOO 600.
only four members suffered losses from bur-
glaries, the total loss of these four members
amounting to only $4,217. These four burglaries
were committed by yeggmen, there not being a
single professional bank burglary during the
year. The determination of these yeggmen is
now the chief work of the protective committee,

No Other Farm Like This One.
Knaaana M. Cfna.


Within sight of the town of Jasper, Mo-, in
the Ozarks, a settler has farm which proha.
bly, is unlike any other in the world.
This farm occupies thetableand on the sum
NIT of ridge and is inclosed with fence
which no animal has ever broken through
1t does not rise above the surface of the farm
but falls sheer from the edge distance of
many feet. The man who homesteaded the
tablelsDd bad hard climb up the face of a
perpendicular cliff to reach the comparatively
level summit.
AT one point ledge extends out few inches
and along the face of the cliff at an upward
grade BY following this ledge and making
nse of occasional points of rocks and of shrubs
growing in the assures the discoverer pulled
himself to the summit and found a surface
we'll covered with soil and luxurant vegeta-
ton.
Gradually he improved the ledge until he
could carry up tools ard seed. By blasting and
drilling he cleared narrow trail, up which he
was able to take first some pigs and then a COW.
Later on he took up horse.
And that today is the condition of this Curl
ousy protected farm. No vehicle has turned
q wheel within its limits of palisades. The
live stock has multiplied and consumes the
grain raised. Some stones thrown across the
trail completely fence in the hogs and cattle.
When the farmer has stock to sell be drives
the animals down the private trail and strikes
the road to Jasper.

WILL CONTESTS EASY.
Baltimore american.

DutttHOy6 AHtTtCuU.
The caveat filed against the will of the late
Thomas M. Lanahan has many interesting fea-
lures, but none more so than the illustration
it gives Of the laxity of Marylands lawso on the
subject of will contests. Six allegations are
made by the caveator, including the charges of
mental unsoundness of the testator and undue
influence and fraud practiced upon him. The
allegations are general in form and without
particulars or specifications Of any kind and
are not even supported by affidavit, yet they
are in every respect lin due form of law
Under the Maryland system this procedure
is sufficient not only to delay the settlement of
mercies of q jury. Our purpose is not to pass
judgment on the merits OF this particular case,
but upon the loose system of law which puts it
in the power of any kinsman 10 tie up large
estate and to subject the will of deceased per-
son to the Judgment OF jury, and this is on
bare generalzed avermenis, unsworn to and
unsupported by the preliminary exposition of
particle of proof.
A system like this puts premium on con-
tests and opens the door to the exploitation OF
claims without merit. There is comparatively
little risk to the contestant, while the certainty
] of delay and the natural aversion of relatives
to the airing of private matters, and perhaps
the exposure Of family skeletons. not ihfre-
| quentlv leads to more or less compulsory
| settlement tout of COURT 1t is notorious that
the easy way in which trouble can be stirred
mp in connection with wills has frequently led
to compromises of claims which had no foun
dation whatever except the capacity of the liti
CANT to cause delay aud anguish. 1t will never
be known how many threatened contests have
been compromised without ever reaching the
courts.
If contestants we're required to submit theil
| proofs in the first instance to court of justice
which had the power to determine whether 9
prima facia case was made out, the evils here
pointed out would be avoided This would, al
least, provide guaranty against many o.
the baseless proceedings which now reach The
courts. The law is very careful not to put {
man on trial for criminal offense until granC
Jury has passed on the suficiency ofthe proof
against him. Protection of similar kline

The idea that bees know their keeper has led
to foolish custom which prevails in certain

bees from leaving it. In some instances the
hives are even draped in black. certain bee

contained his remains was carried from the
house to the hearse, bis bees in large numbers
