Attorney.Genera Crawford:
"In an interview given out at Eu

the following TO say as to my criticism
of the lieu land plank in his platform:

KEEP UP THE OLD CUSTOMS
Curious Practices That Have Long
Prevailed in Two A~ristocratic
London Barks.

A New York banker who spends
much time abroad and has recently re-
turned was speaking the other day
about the amalgamation OF the two ola
private banking houses of London,
Coutts and Robarts, and of some or
the queer customs which still prevail
in them and doubtless will be carried
over to the merged institution.
From time immemorial the owners
of Coutts's bank have insisted that
m~ustaches and boards must be taboo
to all employees Ond also as far as
possible to its customers. The found
err of the bank was q firm believer In
character reading from the formation
Of the mouth and always insisted that
he must have a free and unobstructed
opportunity to study the mouth of
either customer or employee and this
has been carried on down to the pres
ent day. Moreover, it is an unwritten
rule that every official of Coutt's must
wear a black frock coat and white tie
and it Is said that the procession
from the bank at closing time appears
like a delegation Of Non-Conformfst
clergymen.
In the offices of Robarts', antique
little lamps, like those pictured in in
teriors Of the olden time, are used
for light and for sealing purposes.
These lamps are always kept filled
with a specially made brand of oil
and cas- or electric light has never
been able to Danish these old style
lamps from Robarts'. The merger OF
these two banks was described by the
American banker as a wedding of the
two a~ristocrats of the English bank.

THIS GOAT WAS ON THE JOB
Burglar Laughed at Watchdog, but
Pugnacious Billy Spilled His
Blood.

After very carefully avoiding a saw
age Watchdog, chained to the rear Of
the house he was about to enter, a
porch climber came to grief, and mar
rowly escaped being captured by a
pet billy goat in the front yard of the
Italian club, says a San Francisco dis
patch.
Gaining entrance to the second story
by means of a ladder, the burglar col
lected together $3.50 in coin, a few
gold rings, and odd trinkets, and slid
down a porch post to the ground. AS
his feet touched terra firma, the
goat, whose private grazing patch had
been invaded, spied the intruder.
Also the intruder spied Billy. Then
started an unequal foot race for the
nearest fence.
The burglar lost-lost the race,
great patches of cuticle, the major por-
ton of his clothing, and several tea
cupfuls of blood. He finally managed
to scale the fence, and disappear in the
darkness with the loot, which was the
property of John Regalia, Antoine Ram
bonio, and Tony Vanolf.
Mrs. e. B. Pond, d~aughter-in-law Of
former mayor Pond, Of San Francisco,
whose local home has been invaded
by burglars twice during the past
fortnight, attempted to buy the goat
from the Italians. He is not for sale,
however, although the savage watch
dog, which slept through the entire
confusion, can be had for the asking.
