Thrco down-town bankers sat at a
lunch tablo in ono of tho cozy eating
rooms on tho top floor of tho Mills
building. It was after banking hours
on a pleasant autumn afternoon.
Tho mild sunlight peered through a
bull's-eyo window facing tho Ray and
danced merrily over the glittering sil
ver and gloss paraphernalia of tho ta
ble. It also caused a blaze of light to
Hush from tho iowelcd scarf of ono of
tho bankers. Thothrcogcntlemcnhnd
met by accident, and they tarried over
their coffco and cigars to enjoy a half
hour's social ehnt. One of tho num
ber had suggested tho desirability of
throwing greater safeguards around
tho cash vaults of banks. "Addition
al checks should bo placed upon tho
cashicrsnnd tellers," hosaid. "Ranks
must cither put a stop to theso fre
quent defalcations or they will suffer
through tho speedy loss of public con
fidence. Tho youngest nnd smallest member
of tho trio( who is a brisk, natty gen
tleman, with grayish sido whiskers, a
dearth ol hair on his head, and a keen,
observing eye, exclaimed: "Pshawl
what can you do? It is impossible to
keep a man honest by watching him.
You must trust your cashier and you
may trust your teller to a certain ex
tent, no matter how strict your meth
ods aro. If a man has a grain of dis
honesty in him tho realization that
ho is being watched will excito his bas
er qualities, and in nino cases out of
ten will mnko a thief of him. Thcro is
that in human naturo that makes a
man especially a clerk proud of be
ing trusted. Somo men, however, nro
bound to bo thioves, and whether you
watch them or trust them makes no
difference I havo in mind a notable
caso of what I call instinctivo dishon
esty." "Lot us henr it," exclaimed tho oth
er two gcntlonion, sottling bnck com
fortably on their chairs.
"All right, you can havo it. When
my banking house was in Wall street,
I lost $5,000 in United States Treas
ury notes of largo denominations. Ono
of my customers had left tho notes at
my oflico with a request than they bo
cent to tho Rank of, which was then,
ns you know, ono of tho Boundcst
financial institutions in tho city. My
customer wanted his notes oxchnnged
for a certified check drawn by that
particular bank. Of course, after tak
ing tho order I turned tho matter over
to ono of my clerks, and thought no
moro about it for tho tinio being. A few
laya afterward tho owner of tho
Treasury notes camo for his certified
check, and I called upon my book
keeper for it. 'Why, 1 seen no such
check,' said tho book-keeper.
'"Rut you must havo it,' I insisted.
I remember distinctly telling you to
Bend tho notes to tho Rank of and ex
change them for a certified check.'
, "'1 recall tho circumstances now,'
Bnid tho book-kcopor, 'but no check
was over brought to mo.'
I A diligent search was then made
.through the office, and it did not take
long to find tho clerk who had dis
patched thopackago of Treasury notes
to tho bank. Ho speedily picked out
;tho messenger whom hohad sent to do
'livcr the notes. The boy was young.nnd
ns I thought, very honest and faithful.
Ho remembered having tukpn tho
fiackago to tho bank, but ho said that
10 did not remember any instructions
concerning a certified check, lie was
positivo that ho took tho notes where
Jio was told to tako thoin, but ho could
jnot recollect to whom ho gave thorn.
Ho camo directly back to my office
nnd nothing was said to him about a
cortilied check. Well, I sent my con
fidential clerk to tho Rank of ,nnd
'ho saw tho President, Cashier nnd Re
ceiving Toller, and was assured in tho
most positivo manner by each ono of
them that no such package of Treasu
ry notes as described had been re
ceived at their bank. Noxt Isubjecled
my messenger boy tonscarchingcross
examination. Ho stoutly insisted
that ho had delivered tho nackngo as
directed, but being a more lad ho nat
urally becanio norvous and began to
cry. I told him that if ho had lost tho
Iackago and would tell mo all about it
would forgive him. Ho, howover,
persisted in his. first statement, and
.uolioving that ho had oithor stolen or
;ost tho notes I discharged him. At
tho same timo I sent tho numbers of
tho missing notes to tho Treasury Do-
Jiartmont at Washington with the in
ormation that tho notes had cither
boon lost or stolen."
i "Well?" interrogated tho listeners,
as tho spoakor pausod.
"Almost a year passed before I
hoard anything of thoso notes. Ono
day I received a letter from tho
(Treasury Department Btating that
,tho missing notes had boon presented,
together with somo other currency, in
Jaymcnt for sonio registered bonds,
wroto forthounmoof the person who
presented them, and by return mail
(1 received information that Btaggorod
jne. Tho $5,000 of Treasury notes
pad been sont to Washington to com
ipleto a private- purchase of bonds by
the President of tho very bank to
.which my messenger had been sent
pith tho package. That man is no
longer a bank President, but ho is a
irich man, and you doubtless both
remeinbcr him. I had a personal in
itorviow with him, and showed him tho
llottors that I had received from tho
Treasury Department. Ho turned as
pale as a Bheot and tremblingly incit
ed mo to accompany him into a pri
Ivato room. Thero ho broke down
completely, confessed that ho hud
'stolen tho notes, and begged mo to ac
cept back the amount with interest,
and not to oxposo him. My first itn
pulso was to denounce him. I remind
ed him of the disgrace and suffering
that his crime had brought upon
an innocent boy. Ho offered to
mid the boy and give him a bet
tor situation than ho had before, tud
thon ho began pleading for tho good
namo of his own family. I asked him
how ho, a comparatively rich man,
couldbringhimsolftoHteal$5,000, and
lie told mo that he did it under a mo-
ly ho would gladly have returned the
money could ho have dono so without
mentary impulse.nnd that subsequent
compromising himself. Ho said that
tho njesscngor laid tho packago down
on his desk and went away. Tho
packngo remained thcro unnoticed un
til after banking hours, when ho tore
ono end of th s wrapper and saw what
it contained. Nobody else in tho bank
had seen tho notes, and ho Blipped it
into his drawer with tho idea that ho
might as well keep it as no person
would bo any tho wiser. "I got my
money with intercut," concluded tho
speaker, "and it was owing to my
knowledgo of his dishonesty that Mr.
soon afterward retired from the,
presidency of tho bank."
"What become of tho boy?" asked
ono of tho bankers.
"He ia now one of tho most trusted
clerks in my banking house."
"That is a curious story," remark
ed tho elderly member of tho party.
"I heard a good one, however, m
which Russell Sago was concerned.
Tho incident happened only a few
months ago, and it was in a financial
institution in which Mr. Sago is a Di
rector. After tho i routine business of
a D ectors' meeting had been dispos
ed of ono morning, tho Directors at
Mr. Sago's request Bent for tho Presi
dent of tho institution. 'Mr. , '
questioned Russell, 'what is tho
amount of tho bond that our Cashier
gives us? Tho President replied that,
as is usual in most banks, tho Cash
ier's bond was purely nominal. Tho
amount was $5,000. 'Iseo that two
or thrco bank Cnshiers and Tellers in
this city havo run away lately,' said
Mr. Sngc. 'I think wo had better in
crcaso tho amount of our Cashier's
bond to $15,000. You pleaso talk
with him about it and let us knew
what ho says.'
"Tho Directors wont away and tho
President with much dilhdcnco ap
proached tho Cashier on tho subject.
Tho Cashier (lushed up at onco and,
manifested somo indignation. Ho re
minded tho President that ho had
served tho bank for sixteen years and
had handled more than $200,000,000
dining that timo. 'Yes, yes, I know,'
said tho President apologetically.
'Nobody doubted your honesty for a
moment, but you know how queer
Mr. Sago is, and it won't trouble you
any moro to give n $15,000 bond than
to givo a bond for $5,000.'
" 'That is true,' answered tho
Cashier cahnl. 'Nowletmoillustrnto
tho matter from my standpoint.
Hero is a package of greenbacks tak
ing a slender package out of a com
partment of t ie vault near which tho
President and himsclt wero standing.
How much do you think thero is in
this littlo pool age?'
" 'I do no', know and can not
guess,' answered tho President.
" 'Thcro aro $ROO,000 in good Unit
ed States currency. Now I will slip
this into my trousers pockot suiting
tho action to tho word, and after
buttoning my coat you would not no
tice any bulging of my pockets. What,
therefoiOj is to prevent my walking
out of this bank some afternoon with
$800,000, or oven $1,000,000? I,
could bo in Canada before you would
oven suspect that I had stolon any
thing.' "'Rut you aro not thinking of doing
such ath'ing.aro you?' asked tho Presi
dent with deep concern.
"'No, I am no thief,' said tho
Cashier with dignity, 'but a bond for
$L5,000 certainly would not stopmoif
I was dishonest.'
"The President assured tho Cashier
that ho appreciated tho significance ot
tho illustration. Tho noxt day tho
President described his interview to
Mr. Sago and some of the other Direct
ors, llo suggested that the Directors
would gain nothing by requiring tho
Cashier to increase tho amount of his
bond.
" 'I don't know about that! I don't
know about that!' said Russell Sage,
in his quick, norvous way, as ho stoop
ed to pick up a pin off tho carjet;
money is money nowadays. 1 think
vou had better get a good bond for
$15,000 instead of $5,000. That is a
differenco of $10,000, nnd you know
that $10,000 is not to bo sneezed at in
theso days.' "
Tho thrco sociable bankers laughed
heartily at this story. They all know
Mr. Sage, and they could appreciate
tho point of tho narrative After a
brief pause, tho banker who had told
no story said: "I can tell you a true
story of a young broker's clerk who,
from deliberate honesty, throw away
an opportunity to steal $100,000,
when ho knew that ho would novor be
detected. When George I. Seney was
speculating heavily in railroad securi
ties, ho had a largo amount of bonds
hypothecated with a first-class Wall
btreet firm. Tho bonds boro intorest
poying coupons, and under the terms
of tho hypothecation Mr. Seney's
clerk was to havo access to them every
six months for the purpose of clipping
tho coupons. The clerk was known to
tho broker's firm. One day when ho
dropped in to cut off boiiio coupons
tho hypothecated securities wero
handed to him, and ho was left olouo
in ono compartment of tho offices.
Tho firm, of courso, retained in its
possession a list of oil tho hypothe
cated securities, which it was accus
tomed to tomparo with tho securities
returned by tho clerk. On this par
ticular occasion tho dork found in
folded in Mr. Seney's packago other
good negotiable bonds of tho value of
$100,000. They had evidently got
mixed up with Mr. Seney's securities
through ono of theso unexplainable
mistakes that happen very rarely in
broker's offices.
"The clerk cut off tho coupons that
he hod como after and restored tho
packngo of securities ton representa
tive of tho firm. Tho extra $100,000
of bonds had been slipped into tho
clerk's pocket. Mr. Seney's securities
wero compared ono by one with the
check list and found to bo all right.
'"Is everything thoro?' asked the
dork.
"'Oh, yes,' said tho broker, as he
prepared to put away tho bor,
Kvorvthing is ns straight os , string
"You ore sure that there u:ro no
other bonds in that box?'
"'Perfectly,' answered tho broker
with a confident air. 'Wo never get
thinas mixed here.'
'"Well, how about this $100(000 of
bonds? asked tho clerk, drawing the
extra securities from his pocket. The
broker recognized them instantly and
mentioned tho name of tho person to
whom they belonged. His astonish
ment knew no bounds when tho clerk
told him where- tho bonds had been
found. The broker said that he would
have sworn in court that those identi
cal bonds were in a certain placo in
his private snfe. The clerk was asked
to accept $100 as a souvenir of tho
occasion, but ho declined."
"That fellow will uet away" with a
million yet," said tho brisk, natty
banker, as hoput on his hat and start
ed for tho elevator car.

Mrs. Professor French, has been
lecturing in Chicago upon subjects in
dicated above. In an interview sho
said sho was close onto 70, that sho
belonged to a family of doctors, cloven
generations having contributed sur
geons and physicians to tho profes
sion. Her father was a surgeon in
tho war of 1812, and sho began
tho study of medicine at tho ago
of 11 under his instruction. Sho says:
My idea of courtship is that no maid
should bo permitted to indulge in ono
until sho i3 thoroughly versed in tho
laws of health and hur own physical
organization. This trilling with young
men is perfectly abhorrent to me. It
not only makes hypocrites of our girls
butis demoralizingand unholy. Mind,
I am not opposed to social intercourse
among tho soxes, but all sentimental
ity should and could bo suppressed if
girls wern properly educated. Train a
girl in tho whys and wherefores of being
and sho'll not intrigue, she'll not facili
tate clandestine meetings, she'll not
blast hcrfuturo happiness, wreck hor
health, and disgrace her friends by elop
ing with tho first dissolute, good-for-nothing
man that crosses her path. If
mothers did their duty by their daugh
ters thcro would bo little, if any, of this
delirious romancing and tho gunpow
der passion which causes a girl to deify
anything with trousers and a mus
tncho who says pretty things to her
and squeezes her hand. Arm a girl
with a knowledgo of lifo's mysteries,
teach her that passion is not love, and
sho will not be guided by fancy but by
reason. 'Knowledge is power,' and if
girls are to bo held responsible for tho
mistakes of their lives, they must bo
taught how not to make them. Teach
a girl that lovo is tho necessity of per
fect ability, and is based on esteem,
respect, sympathy, and congcnialty.
It is nono of this stuff that novelists
and poets paint, but a trick that na
turo employs for tho propagation,
Iierpetwition, and perfection of the
Himan raco.
Thcro aro 700 pursuits open to
women, and no matter what tho ro-;
numeration is sho is better doing
kitchen work, with her own self-esteem,
than joined in a loveless marriage,
which must be dissolved unless t he na
tures aro noblo enough to struggle
with tho tragedy of rebellion against
tho prejudices of society'andtho awful
contest between parental duty and
personal passion. Marriage on other
grounds than tho allinity of sex devel
ops into ono of two things vulgarity
or ruin. Lovo must not bo consider
ed as distinct trom marriage, and as
soon as girls aro taught so haphazard
marriages will cease, tho human mon
strosities and hideously ugly children
will become fewer and the inmates of
tho foundling homes and baby farms
will not exceed, as they now do, the
limits of provision. It is not tho men
who sutler in theso matrimonial mis
takes, for if they do not care to as
sume tho responsibilities of a second
.homo thero aro clubs, and a thousand
other avenues open to them where di
vertisenient and forget fulness, if not
happiness may bo secured.
"With tho wife it is different. Society
puts a check on her, and sho must
livo down tho cankor that gnaws at
lior heart or suffer tho stigma that so
ciety bo cruelly imposes. This im
morality of marriago without lovo
is largely duo to our civilization. Girls
aro taught that matrimony is tho
career oi thoir Bex and wifehood their
destiny. That is as it should be, for
her organization does not coniplotoit
Bolf till mothorhood is reached. Hut,
with all tho glories of our century,
thero is no school whoro a girl may
prepare herself for this future life, no
iiiteraturo available for her perusal
that is not either loathsomo or so
mystified by technicalities as to bo
utterly worthless. You can got for
15 cents a most valuable work on tho
.breeding of cattle or horses oven
the propagation of fancy dogs
hns been reduced to a science but
'whero is tho work that can bo used as a
toxt-book on tho best methods of pro
ducing beautiful, healthful, perfect
children? It is wrong, I say, and the
'.mothers aro to blame, tho doctors,
too, for they could bring about a rrv
;olution with pen and voice if they
wanted to; and our national and lo
'enl educators could knock out a few
of tho jimcracks tnat overburden cur
irlculums of schools and colleges and
provide for lectures on anatomy and
talks that would come within tho in

"Why, don't you know that our

A TROPICAL TORNADO.
An Kx-Navnl Omter'n Account of Ills IJx
perlenco in a Japanese Typhoon.
"The recent tornado at Philadel.
phia was a vivid illustration of what
tho wind can do when it gets a good
ready on," said John B. Robinson,
for eleven years an officer in tho Unit
ed States navy. "I was over to see
tho effects of tho blow in Camden, and
tho destruction is similar to that cans
ed by a hurricane in tho tropics or an
East India typhoon. No ono can
ever believe tho wind could exert such
unearthly force until he has experienc
ed it himself. I was in a typhoon oncn
on the 11th of August, 1871, in the
United States steamship Idaho,
m Yokohama harbor, Japan. 1
never want another such experi
ence. Wo had a long spell of in
tensely hot weather. Tho day before
tho typhoon part of thoTenth British
Regiment and Royal Marines, exchang.
cd to go home, wero transferred to a
transport, and to avoid tho head
moved in tho early morning. Five ol
the men wero sunstruck when tho sun
was not three degrees high. Wo had
about twenty-four hours' notice ol
tho coming of tho typhoon by tho fall
of the barometer, tho shifting of the
wind, nnd increasing moisture of tin?
atmosphere. A few hours before tlu
center of tho storm passed tho sky be
came filled with inky black clouds,
gyrating around in tho most confused
manner. Tho wind blew a steadily
increasig gale, finally, as tho Btorm
center was upon us, assuming hurri
cane violence.
"I was navigating officer, nnd part
of my duty was to watch tho barom
eter andsympisometer, which I mark
ed every ten and five minutes. The
mercury fell in regular jumps toward
the last, rh if tho bottom wero out the
tube, halting at 27.40. For the bout
preceding this the situation was per
fectly awful. Wo wero at anchor ir
the harbor, the two best bowers down
and veered to ninety fathoms of chair
on each. The harbor was full of craft,
large and small. Admiral Kepplo'a
flagship, a Clydo-built steamer, was on
ono side of us, tho Pacific mail steamer
America, Captain Warsaw, on the
other; and a Norwegian bark near
n.stern. Tho steamers kept full head
of steam on, and could ease up their
rabies. Our vessel and the other sail
ing craft had to trust to theirs.
"Tho danger of fouling was immi
nent. Tho bark dritted all around us,
fortunately not striking us. Had she
done so, both vessels would have been
ground to pieces. Tho wind at iti
height was simply indescribable, the
noiso that of ten thousand devils
yelling in air. Thero was no sea on
while tho wind blew at its greatest
velocity, as it cut tho tops off the
waves like a knife, and the air wa.i
filled with a blinding salt mist. We
xnild not show our heads abovo the
ail. To look to wind-ward or hold
your head up against tho wind was
impossible. When tho barometer
ceased falling, tho wind fell, and a dead
calm, awful in its stillness, succeeded
for about fifteen minutes. Wo wero
then in tho vortex of tho storm and,
as wo afterwards calculated, four
miles from actual center. As tho wind
lulled thesearoso and camo piling in
tho harbor in tremendous waves, run
ning in all directions, toppling over
tho decks and tilling them with tons
of water. Our hatches wero bat tened
down and everything was fast, but
our serious danger was just then, as
wo wero loaded deep, and rolled so
that wo actually thought at ono time
we'd turn clean over, but wo canu
through it all right, but heavily shaken
up.
"Tho wind came out from tho oppo
site quarter, in a few minutes blew the
sea down again, and raged with de
moniac force and decreasing velocity
for an hour or so, tho barometer
jumped up to nearly thirty inches
again, tho sky cleared until thero was
not a cloud to be seen, and tho ty
phoon was past; but it left its wreck
behind! Numbers of small crafts and
several largo stcaniois wero on tho
beach in pieces no bigger than a yard
stick. The harbor was full of tea
boxes for days from tho wrecked ves
sels. Ashore tho view was like in
Camden, only tho swath far wider. I
havo been live times across tho Atlan
tic, in sonio heavy wintry gales on
that treacherous ocean; was in a cy
clone off Hatteras in tho frigate Mace
donia;havescudded 2,000 miles before
the'bravo westerly winds' on one paral
lel, oi! Capo of Good Hopo, when go
ing out to India, but I have never
seen tho wind blow bo hard as in that
typoon. Indeed I never believed it
cbuld blow no, and use to joko at the
mess tablo with tho oxecutivo otlicor,
who had been in a typhoon prior to
this ono, nnd would yarn about it.
During tho height of tho typhoon he
was standing alongside of mo under
the break of tho poop. Captain J.
Crittendon Watson was in tho cabin
praying. Ho leaned down closvi to my
car, and, yelling with all his power
otherwise I could not have heard him
for tho shrieking of tho wind said:
"Now, d n you, don't you beliovo it
can blow?" My reply was an atlirma
tivo nod of tho head, as I registered
tho noxt jump of the barometer.
"Is thero no way of escaping or miti
gating the danger of theso violent tor
nadoes?" "Nono that scienco has yet discover
ed. Outside, with sea room, you can
run out of thorn if you are warned
soon enough, as tho captain of the
Twilight tried to do recently; but
if vou are caught in the track of ono,
all you can do is to make everything
snug about tho decks, batten down
your hatches, bond your Btorm sails,
furl your square sails and doublo lash
thoiii, run life lines along tho docks,
and put your trust in Providence."
