New York, July 25.-The above Is
the general alarm sent out by the
police to-day for the missing cashier
of the Russo-Chinese Bank, al
though, oddly enough, the district
attorneys Office said tonight that no
aid had been asked Of 1t by the
bank, and no application for war
rant had been filed.
But this contradiction Is only one
In series that have kept step with
every development Of what is now
admitted to be at once the most
puZzling and the most serious defal-
cation In the history of Wall street
since Cornelius Alvord stole $685.
600 from the First National Bank,
served term in Sing Sing and then
retired to the seclusion Of q princely
country place.
Shortage Jumps to $6OO,OOO.
When the Russo-Chinese Bank first
made public the fact that its strong
box was short, the amount was
given as $4,000, all in negotiable
bonds, n list 0 'hich was furnished.
This afternoon the amount suddenly
jumped to 100000, Of which the
additional $4,000 IS said to be in
stocks partly owned by the bank and
partly by it's customers.

certificates now are, or with what in

was Wider's intention to hypothe-

ceeds." No list Of the certificates
or the owners In whose names they
stand on the books OF the compa-

wan Papsr,s Effset on esrma.

The physical and physiological ef-
fects of wall paper on human beings
have aroused the interest Of English
and French scientists. 1t is asserted
on authority that wall paper of a GER
tain kind is extremely injurious to the
health, while paper Of certain colors
aids in destroying disease germs. Ellis
abeth Hyatt-Woolf in an English mag
azine discusses the subject at length.
She says some wall paper of an infe-
rior quality Is made from pulp OBJ
tained from cutters, and 1t is injuri-
Gus. She asserts that In recent coro-
ner's inquest DIR. Charles Smythe of
London testified that death of man
was due TO arsenical poisoning from a
bedroom wall paper. The doctor said
that the body of the patient had abb
sorbed the poisoning from the paper
On the other hand, French scientists
say that wall paper of certain kinds
acts on harmful disease germs by driv-
ing them from sickroom. The tuber-
eulosis germ, DIR. de Bosco and DR..
Lydia Rabinovitch assert, has disap-
peared under the influence Of enamel
ing colors in bedroom, In like way
such colors are reported to have driven
typhoid, cholera and diphtheria from a
house. Yellow is regarded by these
experts as a tonic. Red is helpful in
killing disease germs and also as a
cure for the blues. 16

ELIMINATION
OF A ROMANCE
At PROCTOR'S

According to story published In
La Newark paper today, from des-
patch evidently received from Plain
field. Harry Rosenthal and Miss
ROmte Giles were quietly married
i'm this city on February II. last. Al
though local records OF vital statis-
tics show no certificate OF marriage,
the story seems to be with founda-
tion
Miss Giles played piano In the
orchestra OF Proctor's theatre here
until few weeks ago, and Mr.. Ro-
senthal was the drummer at the
same house. sssa
The marriage Is the elimination
of a theatrical romance. that started
at Proctor's local theatre. Miss Giles,
assisted Mrs. Emery Downs at the
piano and Mr.. Rosenthai was the
drummer and maker of weird noises
at the opposite end OF the orchestra
pit. 1t was evident that he was at
tentive to the fair pianist, but few
here realized they had been married
last February and kept the secret un-
til yesterday.
The PIainfield despatch states that
the announcement of the marriage of
Miss Giles, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Giles, of Plainf1eld, to Mr.. Ro-
senthal, was made yesterday.

Dying to order Is one of the most
sacred customs Of the American In
lian. Many years ago Standing Elk
went to Major James Mclaughlin, the
author of my Friend the Indian" and
said, Father, my wife will die today,
and she wants a coffin from you"
The major asked him what the all
ment was, and he replied:
Just nothing but that she heard the
ghosts calling and must 60"
Somebody had told her, 1t turned
out, that she was sick, so she had
painted for DEATH" and all her rela-
tives had gathered about to bemoan
her and incidentally divide her prop
|erty as soon as she was dead. There
was no use In the majors arguing
about 1t. so he had the coffin made.
In many cases those painted for
death" are actually bullied into dying,
but Mrs. Standing Elk was still too
vigorous. Finally In despair she car
ried the coffin into the house on her
own shoulders, and several years later
the major saw it still standing ON end
In her house. Shelves had been fitted
into it, and it was doing duty as a cups
