FORGOTTEN MONEY
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The late
panic has served to bring to light in a
striking manner the carelessness of
the average New Yorker in regard to
his money. The largest institution in
the city which was forced to close its
doors after a run, and is now attempt
ing to reorganise, is seriously hamp
ered in its efforts to secure the neces
sary sanction of its depositors to the
plans mapped out on account of the
fact that there are more than 500 such
depositors with deposits of more than
half a million dollars, who are either
lost, strayed or stolen and cannot be
found. When the depositors' commit
tee began its work of securing con
sent for the scheme of reorganization
which it decided upon, it early dis
covered that half a thousand deposi
tors seemed to have forgotten all
about their money. Two, whose de
posits were over $20,000 each, were
only located after weeks of search
and much expense and both were
very much surprised to discover that
they had this money on deposit, since
all record of it had escaped their
. minds. That any one should forget a
matter of $20,000 cash seems unbe
lievable, yet the records ' show that
more than 500 persons have done
just this in regard to sums in varying
amounts. In one case a new wealthy
man had deposited $12,000 in ,1884
and had forogtten all about He was
therefore very much surprised when
informed that he had at present near
ly $25,000 standing to his credit j
Still further evidence of the New
Yorker's carelessness In regard to
money is instanced by the fact that
in the care of this single institution
there are more than one hundred ac
counts standing in the names of per
sons deceased whose families of exe
cutors have never even obtained let
ters of administration. In view of
these figures it seems probable that
a good many million dollars are ly
ing in New York banks whose owa
ers have forgotten about them en
tirely. New York is likely to have no less
than three entries in the race for
nomination honors at the Chicago
convention next June. It is well
known that Secretary Cortelyou is the
principal dark-horse candidate. It is
already settled that Governor Hughes
will be the State's favorite son and
will receive the votes of the State's
delegates. The third aspirant, who
may be called an adopted son candi
date, so far as New York is concern
. ed, is ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, formerly of Iowa and more re
cently at the head of a well-known
trast company of -this city. Having
made $100,000 in the year that he
has occupied this position the buzz
ing of the presidential bee has drawn
the ex-Secretary away from Wall
street to the political arena. While
his precise plans for securing a share
of the Chicago delegates have been
kept secret, his purpose is indicated
bv the announcement of a prominent
publishing house that it is about to
bring out a book by Mr. bhaw ana
. that the title of the book is "Current
Issues". Whether of not he has the
delegates Shaw has the platform on
which he is willing to run all set
forth in black and white and nobody
can complain that they do not know
where he stands on the tariff, cur
rency or any other pending question,
. fo rit is all in the book. Whether or
not this novel plan of campaigning
helps his political fortunes, Shaw's
book is very timely and likely to find a
good many readers who will want to
have a clear exposition of the in
trancascies of currency and tariff
questions. At any rate the ex-Secretary
has gone the Taft postal card
campaign one better.
The old saying that time is money
never received a more apt and con-
crete illustration than in New York
at ti nresMit dav. Minutes here are
literally viewed as dollars for based
' niuin the annual earnings of the peo
ple of New York City each minute of
the working day is worth ?jU,UUU. in
ntw words results of labor high and
low paid in the metropolis amounts
to just a little less than $i5,uuu,uuu a
; day or about $4,500,000,000 a year.
ji Nowhere else in the world has time
heen so valuable so far as its
earning power is concerned. In this
fact lies the explanation of the trem
endous expenditures which are being
made, particularly in connection witn
rancnortation about the city, which
persons unfamiliar with existing con
finn often look upon as being heed
less extravagance. In the light of
44
what these improvements win save 10
ti a miner oublican. they are all a
sound investment The $70,000,000
nrtiirh is being expended
1UI lllDi-a".. " " " -
at the Grand Central Terminal will
n.n a savins of from 6 to 8 minutes
on each train of the daily creation of
1440 additional minutes for work.
At $30,000 a minute this would mean
thme saving of $43,200,000 every day.
Of course the sum is not actually so
large but the fact remains neverless
that it will not take long to get DaeK
ihe $70,000,000 in question and that
tn investment even from the point
of view of persons who have to pay
for it is a sound one. It is tne tunneis
which afford perhaps the most con
crete illustration of the value of time
in New York City. Crossing the
rivers by ferry is at best a slow pro
cess and it is simply to save the min
utes, each one worth $30,000 in this
means of travel that hundreds of mil
lions of dollars are being expended
on the tunnels under the river. Father
Knickerbocker hopes shortly to reach
the point when his time will be worth
$50,000 a minute, but even now his
record is far ahead of that of any
other city in the world.
. DONT EXPERIMENT.
You Will Make no Mistake if You
Follow This Astoria Citizen's
Advice,
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back, uri
nary disorders, dizziness and nerv
ousness, it's time to act and no time
to experiment These are all symp
toms of kidney trouble, and you
should seek a remedy which Is
known to cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy
to use. No need to experiment. It
has cured many stubborn cases in
Astoria. Follow the advice of an
Astoria citizen and be cured yourself.
We Joyce, 412 Duane street, As
toria, Oregon, says: "At the time I
began using Doan's Kidney Pills, I
was enduring a great deal of suffering
from my kidneys. The secretions
from these organs were so profuse
as to give me a great deal of annoy
ance. As a result of not getting my
proper rest at night, I would rise in
the morning feeling more tired and
weak than when I went to bed and
daring the day felt languid. The
slightest exertion caused severe pains
through my back and hips. I tried
liniments and plasters but did not
receive any relief. I then resorted to
other remedies but still the results
were unsatisfactory. At last my at
tention was drawn to Doan's Kidney
Pills. I decided to give them a trial
and procured a box at Chas. Rogers
and Son drug store. They helped me
so much that I procured a further
supply, used them and was entirely
cured. I am now in unusually good
health and do not hesitate to attri
bute same to the use of Doan's Kid
ney Pills."
