Easy Looting of a. Bank.

Safeguards thrown about the national
banking system are insufficient TO prevent
the wrecking Of ill-managed concerns by
dishonest employees holding positions OF
trust.
The thief in charge of a banks cash
or books is sure to find a way to steal
The most rigid inspection or the closest
supervision will not estop him from il.
But the opportunities for stealing are re-
duced to a minimum and quick exposure
of wrongdoing made all but certain when
banks affairs are in the hands Of
officers and directors who manage and
direct The concerns that are systemat-
ieally looted are almost invariably con-
trolled by men who really have no
license, by way Of business qualifications
to be engaged in the banking business.
The wreeking OF the national bank at
Cambridge, Mass. is astounding in the
lax methods 1t disclosed. There was No
checking up of the personal ledger no
balancing of pass books, and no investi-
cation of the continually shrinking de-
posits. Suspicion was never aroused by
the fact that the bookkeeper. on & salary
OF so week. could maintain a touring
car, employ chauffeur, and make
weekly trips to New York. Such blind.
implicit faith did the bank have that it
saw nothing amiss In the chauffeur being
put in charge Of the books willis his
employer was away on vacation. Il
was reserved for a receivershlp to reveal
what had been going on. A confession

easy dupe of New York swindlers. dis

Commenting on the fact that the trade
Of South America is TO q certain extent
dominated by European nations. William
Wilbur. OF San Francisco, an exporter
and shipper Of that place. who was seen
at the Shoreham. said that perhaps the
most serious commentary on Americas
enterprise as an exporting nation is the
fact that its manufacturers have stood by
and allowed Europe to control seven
eighths of the trade with Central and
South America, while they come in for
the crunb-like one-eighth which remains.
by every natural law said Mr. VII
bur, the United States is entitled TO
seven-eighths OF this trade. yet to-day
We are permitting even our mail to 60
to Latin America by way Of Europe. The
United States has TO DO it's banking with
these countries through Europe. The
people of the United States have been so
accustomed to patting themselves on the
back and feeling good over the fact that
our exports have gone over the s., 900. Co.,
600 mark, that they have lost sight Of the
other fact that two-thirds Of 1t was food
stuffs and cotton. which need no drum
mer, but which the world wants, while
only one-third OF ii Is in manufactures.
while there are other nations which
also sell the surplus product OF their
farms. it is everywhere considered wiser
to add TO the value Of the produce or
forest. field. anu mine by turning It
into manufactured article and then ex-
porting It, Therefore. other great ex-
porting nations exceed the United States
In the percentage Of manufactured prod
ucts in proportion TO the whole amount
of their exports

An Ingenious scheme.

The method by which 1900 kegs Of wire
nails have been recovered from the bot
tom of the Mississippi River Is ingenious
IN the extreme. a huge electric magnet,
attached TO hosting gear, was lowered
into the water. the current turned on,
and the kegs holsted one by one. The
magnet used Is shaped like a mushroom
and three feet in diameter. II is the
property of the Carnegie steel mills. and
was sent all the way from Pittsburg TO
perform this work. which IS not yet
nearly completed, for the total number
.of kegs that went down was 1900. In
all probability it viii require a couple of
months 20 finish the job The barge
that contained these nails sank al the
head Of Lafayette street, New Orleans.
As soon as the kegs are brought to the
surface by the magnet process they are
sent TO the Dassey warehouse. where
they are treated with a solution which
restores them 10 their original color,

Baylor F. Gales, OF New York, who is
at the New Willard. in speaking Of old
New York and present customs, said yes
terday: when I was child the Sunday
dinner was quite a feature Of the week.
Usually it brought all the family to-
gether Married sons and daughters came
home for it; also unmarried sons whose
business or profession kept them away
on other days. Very few formal dinners,
though, took place on Sunday, Il was
not favorite day for entertaining at
dinner. nor for making many calls in the
afternoon
"At that time society did more walking
on Sunday afternoons" continued Mr..
Gales, than It has ever done since, or
probably viii ever do again. Few Of the
richest people who owned the finest car
riages dreamed Of taking them out on
Sunday. Churchgoers walked to church
and back. and after the dinner, which
was apt 10 be prolonged, almost every
body but old folks went walking, the IA
Torite promenade being up and down
Fifth avenue.
Twenty years ago. If one wanted TO
see any particular person on Sunday aft
ernoon. all he or she had to co was to
take a stroll on the Avenue. Nowadays.
Of course, fashion carefully avoids Fifth
avenue OF a Sunday. except at church
time; but it was not so then. and the
sight was very pretty one.
No, 1t wouldn't be possible 10 revive
the custom, for the reason that everyone
is now doing something else on Sunday
afternoon. Mind you, I don't mean TO
say that the Sunday midday dinner and
the absence Of much entertaining were
due to religious scrUples only. In society
then, as now, there were many persons
who had no religious scruples whatever.
Newcomers, with large fortunes and
disposition to spend money and have &
good time, made their influence felt, al
though they had 70 take many a snub
