p T is interesting to trace the itinerary
of a local check sent to some distant
! = city in payment of debt and note the
lapse OF time and clerical work involved
before formal presentation of the check
is made and payment of the debt legally
| ratified.
When, for example, Mr.. Smith of Wash
, ington. y. c., seals business letter ad-
Dire ssed to Chicago. inclosing check in
payment of debt, he thinks no more Of
the check until it is discovered among the
returned vouchers of his balanced pass
book. If Mr.. Smith bears the Al credit
bel. the Chicago recipient deposits the
check as cash in a Chicago bank. and be-
tween them the transaction is considered
closed. From legal viewpoint. however
the debt Is not paid Before such is the
case the check must he honored by the
Washington draWee. During the interim
of collection. probably five days the
check pass,s through three banks and is
handled by fifteen or twenty clerks.
Immediately after RAISING the receiving
window OF the Chicago bank the Wash
ing on check becomes what Is I rmed
foreign in the banking parlance. That
is. any item payable outside OF local ter
:itOry.
When the Chicago receiving teller has
check. the Washington check on the de-
p,,sitor's slip as a foreign" he passes it
the ASSISTANT WHO llSlS II Will
other '.foreigns. Later the receiving
cage turns the "fOreigns' over to the
foreign clerk and charges him with
the sum total.
AS the Chicago bank probably main
tains an account with a Philadelphia
bank for collection of all eastern items.
the foreign clerk places the Washing
ton check in the pigeonhole of the "Phila-
delphia correspondent In his subse-
auent work he records the drawee. in
dorser and amount, then stamps guar
antee OF all previous Endorsements. at the
same time rendering the check payable
to the Philadelphia bank.
Two days later the mail clerk Of the
philadelphia correspondent checks off
the Chicago letter and passes it to the
general bookkeeper for credit of the Chi
cago bank. The Washington check. still
foreign is listed with other foreign
items received in the morning mail and
passed to their foreign clerk
In Philadelphia most Washington items
are sent to Washington or Baltimore. In
the event OF the former. the foreign
clerk will send the Washington check
direct. after placing his guarantee stamp

delphia Water Color Club at the Penn
sylvania Academy Of the Fine Arts. Phil

exhibitions a number of the Washington
artists will be represented. The annual
exhibition of the Washington Water Color
Club will be held as usual at the Cor
coran Gallery about nidwinter. though
no definite date has as yet been set.
Two hundred and forty-four oil paint
4 ings and sculptures are included in
the annual exhibition now in progress in
the Art Institute Of Chicago. Special
interest attaches to this exhibition, mas
much as a number of the works therein
will be set forth in the Corcoran Gall
lerys approaching exhibition in Decem-
Der. The fact that large prizes were Of
fered and that a purchase fund of 100000
was available may reasonably be sup
posed to have induced the sending Of
notable works to this display.
The prizes have been awarded as fol-
lows: The Potter Palmer gold medal,
carrying with it a prize OF 1000 to Will
liam Sergeant Kendall for painting en-
titled Alison; the y. W. Harris silver

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that IS Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional diseased, requires a con-
stituuonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surface
OF the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case 1t fails TO cure. Send for list of
testimonials.
