RUSH ENDS THIS MORNING
LAST FIFTEEN SALOONS ARE
NOW CLOSED, AFTER BARGAIN
SALES AND "eooZE WAKES"
ARE FEATURED.

Chicago. April 9.-The spectacle OF
hundreds of thirsty residents standing
in a line a block long to get n final
drink at a popular bar was one Of the
unique incidents in connection with
the closing of the fifteen remaining
saloons of Gary, Ind.
For several days the bartenders had
been preparing for the big night"
but at the Binzenhoff. conducted by
Binzen Bros, the knights of the
white apron" had a hard time to
serve customers fast enough. At first
the customers were served as they
crowded to the bar. but after a short
time 1t was found necessary to use
the same tactics employed during .
rush for theater tickets.
The Binzenhoff was the first bar In
Gary. and 1t is said to have been one
of the best paying places Of the kind
in Indiana. Sums as high as $1,000
have been frequently taken in during
one day. and once $4,000 in checks
were cashed by the proprietors to &C.
commodate the employees Of the steel
mills.
Recall Many ktndneooes.
1t was because OF the courtesy that
had been shown them In cashing
checks that actuated the men who
stood in the long line to wait for one
more Quaff of their favorite brand of
liquor
At some OF the saloons. bargain
sales were conducted. liquor being
sold at cost to old customers. What
were termed wakes" were held in all
of the saloons, the lid being off 60
| far as the observance OF the usual
closing hours were concerned. The
licenses of the saloon proprietors real
ly expired at midnight, but the police
made no effort to stop the rush Of Gus
toners after that time. The las,
drinks were sold In the morning about
| 6 o'clock.

that a petition signed by . majorit,

No doubt many will draw a sigh
of relief upon reading the expla-
nation of the assistant secretary of
the treasury, upon the legality of
checks for $1,00, which was men
toned in the Republican a few
weeks ago.
The dispatch follows:
Washington, Sept. 2s.- The
Treasury Department to-day settled
the question of drawing bank checks
below 800 by deciding that any
man who has an account in a bank
can draw on it for any size check he
wishes without violating the law:
The following statement was made
public by Assistant Secretary Nor
ton, who recently received appeals
from many persons on the subject
and who has acted after having the
the solicitor of Treasury investigate
the law:-
"There is widespread but entirely
needless concern on the question of
the legality of issuing check for an
amount less than Sl.00.
1.-THE law about which this ques-
tion was raised was passed forty
seven years ago and has been in
force and effect ever since. In is
81, in order to raise funds for war
purposes, this law was passed, plac-
ing postage stamps in general cir
culation as money. 1t was i'm
portant that these devices should
not be intcrfered with by in
dividuals issuing notes or checks to
be used as fractional currency. A
clause was therefore inserted in the
law to prevent this.
ga bank check is an order on a
banker to pay II particular sum of
money. 1t has heen designed to be
put into circulation as substitute
for money. There is no conflict with
this law in issuing checks for any
amount, however small.

State Without a Debt.

The fact that Pennsylvania is the
only state in the Union which is prac

1t is a dull day when there is not
something going on in the dead let
ter division of the postoffice depart
ment The interest generally CEN
tered in letter which contains mon
ey or package which holds valu-
ables in the way of jewles. Just
few days ago a letter was turned in
from New York in which enclosed
between two pieces of pastebOard,
were bills which aggregated 800,
but not SO much as word or
scratch of writing was there to indi-
cate from whom the money came.
The letter had been mailed in Bos-
ton and addressed to a person in
New York who could not be found.
A short while ago a small package
was returned to this country from
Africa. 1t had been mailed in
Western city and when the clerk in
the dead letter division opened it he
found it contained five 500 bills.
After much time had been consum-
ell in searching for the owner he was
found and the money returned to
him. The money receipts which
filter into the dead letter office are a
towering monument to the careless
ness of American people in the
handling of cash, for the average
amount taken in by the division is
$4,000 a year. OF this about IS
per cent is returned to the owners,
and the rest goes inyo the treasury,
where it is kept for four years, and
can be reclaimed by the owners if
they can show they bear that re-
lation to the filthy lucre. But after
the four years is out Uncle Sam con-
cludes that it is worth his while to
keep the money as payment for his
guardianship over it, and if the own
er puts in claim, he can't get it
without a special act from congress.

There has developed in the present
political campaign in Pennsylvania a
remarkable condition which will Tn.
questionably result in the polling Of a
large vote for the nominees of the Re.
publican party.
A sentimental phase of the canvass
which has been the subject of wide.
spread comment is the outgrowth Of

been held recently at different points
throughout the commonwealth.
1t is manifested in an unusual dis.
play of state pride. of love for the
grand old commonwealth of Pennsyl.
vania and admiration for it's traditions
and glorious record
The home coming of so many former
citizens of the state at the gatherings
held during the last few months gave
an opportunity for the people to con-
trast conditions in Pennsylvania with
those of other states of the Union
There were comparisons made which
could not but reflect credit upon the
