The savings hank at Radcllffe, Iowa
has troubles of its own and its late
cashier is now basking ift i be cool re
treats of some away kingdom with
$15,ooo of the depositors' funds Hi-
wife is in the Independence insane
asylum and a family of small children
are objects of charity. What a sad
picture is this! The Chinese penal-
ties for crooked bankers would tome
pretty near fitting the former resident
or Radcliffe.
A fe^ months ago a fine dog belong
ing to A. L. Luetgert of Chicago was
missing. The owner made a great fuss
about it, hounding the police day an<4
night in his effort to get them to find ii
On May 2 Luetgert's wife was also
missing, and instead of notifying I ho
police, or showing much concern, he
said little or nothing abuiM her tranjv
disappearance. This marked contrast
in Luetgert's conduct made the police
suspicious, and now they have disclosed
what appears to be a horrible murder,
and Luetgert Is fast behind the bars.
It is the little things in a man's con
duct that tells.
It Is said that the good roads com-
mittee of Massachusetts has struck
upon a very novel but effective man
ner 9t promoting its work. Instead of
using the money at its disposal to
make continuous stretches of good
reads as far as the money held out,
it has alternated good roads with bad,
each being one mile in extent. Thus,
the driver hauling a heavy load to
market, spins merrily along for a mile
over an admirable road, and then
strikes a milo of muck and mire. This
makes him swear, of course, and when
he finally gets through it to the* next
mile of good road, he appreciates it all
the more. The committee claims by
this method It can more easily and
rftpidly arouse a general Interest in
road improvement.
A witness in a giurdefcase in yidi-
ana recently '.estifled that the evening
before the tragedy he dined with the
victim, and the latter, on payin? the
waiter, drew a five-dollar bill from
a large roll containing fifty times that
amount. This statement suggested a
nzotlve for the murder which had hith-
erto been Incomprehensible. Future
civilisation may emphasize the fact
that to offer temptation is as culpaby
as the (rime it incites. The man who
ueedlessly open i rolls of money mi pub-
lic places; the woman who displays
valuable jewels in street cars; the
merchant who thoughtlessly gives his
young clerk tempting opportunities foi
peculation; the housekeeper who trusts
without oversight all accounts to her
cook, are not themselves wholly inno
cent when moral degeneration or a
blasted character is the result. Osten-
tation, indolence, too great leniency
open the downward path for natures
that are unwagr or perverse.
The Ixrndon Economist says: "In the
•ourae of a report to the Foreign Office
an the trade of the consular district ot
Barcelona, Mr. Consul Wyndham culls
attention to the serious effect which
the colonial rebellions have exercised
on tg>me of the local industries. Hi
remarks are as follows: 'The rebel-
lions in Cuba and Manila, which have
continued throughout the year, have
to a great extent paralyzed the com
merce of Catalonia, as it is a manu-
facturing rather thaij agricultural dis*
trict, and the largest part of the manu
factured goods found a market In th-
Spanish colonies now nearly complete-
ly closed to them. Everywhere in Ca-
talonia mills have been closed, or
worked short time, and with dimin
ished numbers of hands. As an exam
pie, take tlr towif of Mataro. one >f j
the principal manufacturing places of
the district. Here we find out of eight
factories making cotton goods five onlv
are working, and these with only one
third of their complement of workmen
and on an average only four days In

cause of this little
act of sympathy.
"Amos, my son, I was in the hospital
'or more than a year, and most of that
imo 1 wae like a woman In a dream.
I was told that for months I didn't

But the Lord was good to du . and i goi

n as not hlng *in mj pocket by which

i bey suspected, they said, that I had
sailors for my relations, for I talked

ill they could discover. No one came

pital. iSid when I was strong enough

to the cottago I found a neighbor living
in it, who thought that I was dead, as
i belli fed you t« be before to-night, my
iear son. The neighbors had heard
nothing of the accident, and they all
believed me to be dead; and they came

"Tell It," I said, steeling my voice.

asked af!#r Mabel, and the first thing 1
heard was hat she had a baby, 'do
and bring lie-,' I said to the neighbors
who were about me—'go and bring bel-
and my son's child to me. Tell her I am
living, and am yearning to embrace
them both.' '11ie\ looked at on another,
and gradually the story came out.
Shortly after the news of the loss of the
Blue Jack a with all hands n i bed the
neighborhood, Mabel and her mother
went away."
"Where to? Where is my wife and
child?"
"They left England altogether, for
Australia; and since then nothing has
been heard of them."
Consternation at this startling news
struck n.e dumb for a time, and my
mother was too frightened to break the
sttinee. Thi'. night, which In mj eager
anticipation was to have been filled
with joy had brought desolation and
despair to my heart. 1
"Have you anything more to say?" I
iasked faintly, when 1 could muster
strength to speak. I had to repeat the
question before iny mother replied, and
then tho words fell like drops of poison
from her lips.
"Amos, Mabel did not go alone."
"You have already told me so. Her
mother and my child were with her. My
child!" 1 stretched forth my arms in an
agony of disappointment.
"Some one else was with her, r
son."
"Who?"
"Mr. Drace )our enemy."
The words might have convoyed
doubtful meaning to my senses, but the
tone in whieh the) were uttered al
lowed no room for doubt. My mother
believed Mabel to be false to nie.
1 shook her from Sue r.-uglily and
stood upon the threshold of the room.
The snow floated in, but I did not heed
It i heard my mother *tep behind me
"Stop where you are!" 1 cried, fierce
ly. "Don't approach close to me, nor
look Into my lace! You have hardened
my heart toward you. It is for me to
speak now. and for you to listen. You
be fie ve that my wife i unfaithful t.>
nie. You my mother, have said so to
me—to my face. It is a lie! Do you
hear me? It is a lie!"
My vehemence shook her to the soul.
"You made me speak," she faltered,
as though I were on my death-bed. 1
have obeyed you, my son I have«
obeyed you. Oh, Amos, my heart is
breaking!"
"And mine is niied with Joy and hap-
tiiness at what you have told me," I
retorted. "A loving mother you have
proved yourself to me on this bitter
Christmas night!"

'My love for you and faith in you have

at about the expiration of a couple of

Soou I thought almost entirely of my
child, and I pictured him in my Im-
agination as growing up year after

with features resembling those of my
father, Ueccroft, Mariner. This change

Populist, Stewart Nevada. The
negative vote was made up of 25 Dem-

Washington, June 12.—The long
deferred debate on the sugar schedule
of the tifriff bill came on abruptly at 1
o'clock yesterday, after the Senate
had disposed of the cereals in the agni-
eultural schedule. Senators and spec-
tators soon lapsed into a state of
indifference as the speeehesjdcnlt with
a labyrinth of technical details, of ,
vital interest, though, to the sugar re-*
liner and expert.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas opened the
debate, to some*e\tcift answering Mr.
Aid rich's statement on the sugar
schedule. It was argument active and
lacking in any severe denunciatory
, features. The Senator held that the
rates proposed gave the refiners an
excessive differential and pointed out
how they had thrived ou tho one-
eighth differential of the present law. 1
• Mr. Vest severely criticised the
Sugar trust and arguod that tho rates
were a further tribute to its vast re-
sources. Mr. Cutlery of Louisiana
also opposed the schedule as a whole.
P.ftidy in the day Mr. Tillman of
South Carolina made a lively speech in
favor of the amendment giving an ex-
port duty on agricultural products.
After some'running debate a vote
was taken on the Cannon amendment,
pi willing an export bounty for agri-
cultural products, and it was defeated
—yeas, 10; nays, 59. The aflinnative
Vote was given by Messrs. Allen. Unt-
ie r, Stewart, Harris of Kansas, licit-
I fell, Populists; Cannon, Mantle, Petti-
grt'w, silver Republicans; Roach and
Tillman* Democrats.
Air. Pettigrew of South Dakota gave
notice that he would offer his amend-
ment to admit free of dut v#gooiis made
by trusts at the end of the sugar
tchedule. • #
Washington, June 11. The house
passed two comparatively unimport-
ant. resolutions to-day and then ad-
journed till Monday.
Washington, June 10.—The Repub-
lican members of the finance com-
mittee will withdraw the amendments
for an additional taj on beer and for
the duty of ten cents a pound on tea.
The question of revenue is giving tho
committee considerable concern and if

val Cadet* to Reftlffii.
Washington, June l ' l'or the first
time iu many years the secretary of
the navy has interposed his veto upon
the application of a junior officer to
leave the naval service. In the pres-
ent case three of the cadets at An-
napolis—(ieorge Weber of Arkansas,
H. Ij < ollins of Pennsylvania and 1\ I.
Pratt of Illinois—sought to resign.
They had completed four yliys serv-
ice at the academy, the last year be-
ing voted to the engitieerin r branch,
anil desired to leave to engage in
private business. •
Secretary Long, however, found
that the engineer corps was badly in
need of officers, owing to the rapid
depletion of the ranks of the older en-
gineers in late years, and he decided
that as these young men had been cd-
ucated at the ex pens of the govern-
ment they should render service in
return. The cadets upon admission
to the academy are ured to pledge
themselves to se9ve t government
not less than eight years, so these men
now will be obliged to take tho usual
two years* cruise, which rounds out
the Annapolis course, at the end of
which time they will receive their
commissions as assi tant engineers In
