"Never the Like Of Mozart

In an account of a Mozart night"
arranged by the members Of musical
organization in Dresden, the writer de-
parted from comment on the various
performers to say this OF the com
poser:
He died at thirty-six, 100 years ago,
and the world has never seen his like.
From babyhood. until the life flame
was extinguished Mozart's thoughts
were only of music He was Just
past his fourth birthday when he re-
ceived his first lesson from his father,
and two years later he composed short
pieces. and two years later played his
own sonatas on the organ in the
Chapel Royal, London. When his first
opera was produced Mozart was not
yet fifteen years old. His genius ex-
cited wonder, admiration and audula-
ton; but, frail In body, melancholy
and in constant fear of death, he was
never happy"

BANK NOTES MADE TROUBLE
Error n Printing Caused Much Con-
fusion to Cashiers Who Handled
Them In Course Of Business.

Occasionally an imperfect or mis-
printed bank note will eyade the Wig
lance Of the inspectors Of the bureau
OF engraving and printing. The most
extraordinary mlsprint that ever
found its way into circulation was .
$50 national bank note.
A clerk In a western hotel in MAX
ing up his accounts found discrep-
ancy that could not be explained. He
placed the pile of bills at his left
hand and as he counted each one
turned the note over and put 1t on a
pile at his right He discovered that
when he counted from left to right
his cash balanced exactly. says the
Youths Companion, but that when he
counted from right to left there was
Q shortage OF $50. The clerk spent
more than two hours in trying to find
out what was the matter. Finally in
desperation he called upon the cash
Ter for assistance.
The cashier had no better success.
Again and again he counted the bills
with the same result--one time the
cash would balance and the next time
It would show a shortage. Finally he
examined each bill both face and back,
whereupon the mystery was explained.
One of the bills bore the design Of
$50 on the face and that of 500 on
the back. The clerk had taken the bill
for 500.
Upon corresponding with the treas
ury department they found that the
department had a record Of the bill
In 1890 one sheet OF bank notes for a
national bank in Kansas City had been
reversed In the press One plate bore
the diverse of a $50 bill at the top
and the diverse of 800 bill at the
bottom The other plate bore the re-
verse Of the two notes. AS each sheet
was printed 1t had been laid aside to
dry before being run through for the
reverse printing. Inadvertently the
pressman had turned one sheet upside
down, with the result that two mis-
printed bills came forth lone with a
$50 face and stOO back and the other
with a 500 face and q $50 back.
The cashier OF the bank had been
the first one to become aware of the
error He found that something was
wrong, after he had paid out the note
with the $50 face and the 500 back,
by coming across one with the 500
face and the $50 back. This note was
returned to the treasury and destroy
ed and a perfect one issued in its
stead.
Another curiosity is 81 note of the
Second National Bank Of Ravenna. o.
It lacks the signatures of the presi-
dent and the cashier, although 1t was
circulated without challenge.

MANY MILLIONS IN
STAMPS ARE STOLEN
SENSATIONAL REVELATIONS MADE
TO POSTMASTER GENERAL.
BROKERS PURCHASE THEM
Are ResOld at Prices Far Below Values
Employees Of U. S. Government In
eluded in Case

Washington, - Illegal trafdcking tn,
country over in stolen postage stamps
sggregating several millions OF dollars
annually, has Just been disclosed by
postof6ce inspectors whose Investigations
were reported to Postmaster General
Hitchcock. They involved so-called
stamp brokers and confidential employees
of large business concerns throughout
the United States.
Through confessions obtained by the
inspectors from some of the brokers
whose operations were investigated, i
was learned that stamps Of all classes
and denominations, stolen by burglars
from postoffces and emDezzed by EN-
ployes from great business houses and
manufacturing Establishments, were pur-
chased and resold by the brokers at
prices far below their face value.
The postal laws make it crime pun
ishable by Imprisonment to sell any
stamp issued by the government for less
than its face value. Investigations dis
closed that, in addition to selling the
stamps for less than price they could
have been purchased for from the gov
eminent, the brokers knew that the
stamps were stolen when they pur-
chased them.
Frauds against the government and
various business concerns aggregating
hundreds of thousands OF dollars annu.

ROOT MAKES PLEA
FOR ARBITRATION
WOULD HAVE PANAMA CANAL
LAWS AMENDED.
FOR EQUAL TERMS FOR ALL
The United States Cannot Afford to Take
a Position at Variance With the
Rule of UNIVERSAL Equality,
He Declares.

Washington "Shall we inform the
world that the United States is false to
its agreements, false to its pledged word? ?
Shall we have it made known the world
over that you must look cut for the
United States or it will get the advan-
tage Of you? That it is state, cunning,
slippery?"
With this vigorous denunciation Of the
attitude Of this country in the Panama
canal controversy with Great Britain,
Senator Elihu Root closed two-hour
speech in the senate with an appeal for
the submission Of the Panama question
to arbitration, or the repeal Of that sec
ton Of the canal law that would give
free passage to American coastwise ships.
Senator Root declared the United
States would violate all of its pledges
and promises TO the world; would be
guilty of false pretcnses" in its adyo-
caey of arbitration, and would proclaim
itself indifferent to national Eonor and
integrity, if it refused to submit to arbi-
tration or to retreat from the unjust
position it had taken.
He declared free coastwise tolls to
American ships were illegal, unless the
same concessions we're made to foreign
ships. The claim that the United States
had domesic rights over the canal, be-
cause it owned the Canal Zone, consti-
tuted violation Of the express guaran-
tee Of the United States to Great Brit
ain, he said.

Dental veto, was Indicated as part Of the
extra session Of congress tariff revision
program at the hearing before the house
committee on ways and means. Mem
bers of the committee emphasized the
majority sentiment in favor Of free
meats and strong trend toward free
cattle, in accordance with the general
policy of the Democrats last year to
transfer the necessities of life to the free
list, including free sugar and free lum-
Der.
Protest against putting cattle and
meats upon the free list was voiced BY
Is. H. Cowan of Fort Worth, Texas, as
