THE BANK MYSTERY.
NE day the direct
ors of the Bank of
England were much
puzzled and not a
little amused when
the secretary read
to them at their an
nual sitting the fol
lowing 111-spelt and
somewhat curious
letter:
"Two glntllmln of
Bank England: Yoo
thing yow Is all safe hand you re Bank
his safe, butt X knows bettur. I bln In
side thee Bank the last 2 nltes hand yow
nose nuffln abowt it. Butt hum not a
thief, so hlf yeo will mett mee In the
gret squar rom, werh arl the monely Is,
at twelf 2 ntte He lxsplaln orl to yeow.
Lett oney 1 hor 2 cum alown and say
nuffln to nobody. —Jno. Smlffl."
The detectives looked grave. There
was a plot at work, they saw, and with
their usual penetration they at once
penetrated the deepest depths of the in
iquity.
i iit'rr in a vvi y inrun ruum uiiurr*
ground where the huge wealth of the
bank Is deposited—millions of English
sovereigns, bars of gold and hundred
weights of silver, with myriads of notes
to an Incalculable amount.
The detectives, of course, knew that
this room must be the place which the
writer of the letter had designated as
"the gret squar rom."
No one from outside could enter, but
of course the police well understood the
trick. There must be some confederate
within the bank, and one of. the con
spirators, being more cowardly than the
rest, had resolved to betray his fellows
to save himself.
All night long the detectives were se
creted In the room, but' they saw noth
ing and heard nothing, with the excep
tion that Borne said they heard about 2
o'clock a strange sound which they
■ : could not account for.
The next night was the same, and the
. text, and the newt; and when the "beard
! day” of the bank came around the dl
• rectors would have treated the affair
.’ as an idle attempt to frighten them had
\:nof their attention been more strongly
' calledto'the-subJeBt by the following im
ctdent:
V.".: A heavy chest hadf been forwarded by
. thfe Parcel* Delivery company, directed
to the "Directors of the Bank of Eng
land." The chest was, of course', opened
before them at once', such a thing being
v very unusual, and1 found to contain a
. large paeket. of thosl valuable papers:
and seeurf,tres; which had been-safely
- ’ depp'slted ini the vault. With then* was.
v tthe following letter:
"Toth.e Directors of the Bank of Eng- ■■

juJ .In the morning they told a strange
* story: They said they saw a light at
about 12 o*oloCk. It seemed to come
. from a dark lantern; but directly they
ran to the spot from whence the light
proceeded it went out and the strictest
search had discovered nothing.
Every night the strictest watch was
set, but nothing turned up until, on
Sf, the morning when the next sitting of
the board was to be held, another let
• tar was found upon the table of the
A MAN WAS VISIBLE,
strong room. How It got there, con
sidering the room was guarded day and
night, was a mystery. Its contents
« were as follows:
“It was for your own good that you
were warned that the strong room of
the bank Is not really safe. At any
time any one can enter It. If we
wished to steal we certainly would
never have told you about It or re
,■ turned that box.
“If the police are there tonight we
will never explain the easy way of
getting Into your strong room, but
most likely some one else will let you
know that we told the truth when they
help themselves to what Is there.
“E. S.”
There were two things perfectly evi
dent—one, that the writer of the let
ter really had access In some mysteri
ous way to the strong room and the
. other that he had discovered that the
police had been put upon his track.
So It was determined that some of
the directors, who could conveniently
H do so, should visit the strong room at
the time Indicated In the letter.
The plan was carried out. But. as
j might be expected, the directors were
not alone. The police had advised
them too well for that; and half a
dosen of the best detectives were
placed In such a way that any one
would have supposed that they formed
one group.
They waited there the whole night
long, but nothing was seen or heard.
Their labor was In vain. About four
o'clock In the morning the detectives
whispered that It was needless for the
gentlemen to remain any longer; they
themselves would wait aa long aa the I
gentlemen choose, hut the hour for
breaking into the strongest of all j
strong rooms—If It could be broken Into j
at all—was long past. i
The next morning the board held an ■
extraordinary meeting, In order to dis
cuss the result of the efforts of the
gentlemen who had been all night In
the vault. After a long argument
about nothing, a porter entered with
a letter, which he stated had been
found on the table in the strong room. ;
It ran aa follows:
“You can do ass yeou like. Lars
night I herd someon speek to Mr. i
Feldln, who I know is an hosslfer of
the perlice, sow of course I did not
come, aa I mite ave dun. I give yeou
another chance. Coome to nlte. If
two or 3 gentlemen are theare aloane
hi will be with um. If eny detective
is thear hi shal give it al up at 1st.
Yeou may ohoose as yeou will
Every suitable precaution was taken
when night came. The sentinel paced
up and down outside; the detectives
were not far off; and after the most
rigorous search had been Instituted,
the gentlemen were locked in.
At last one of them who paced the
floor impatiently, beginning to think
that perhaps after all it was only a
clever trick, cried out:
“You ghost, you secret visitor, you
midnight thief, come out! There is
no one here but two gentlemen, and
myself. If you are afraid, I give you
my word that the police are not here."
It was more in jest than in earnest
that Major Clifford—for it was a mili
tary man—shouted out this absurd
speech. His astonishment, however,
was great, when, in reply to what he
had said, he heard a voice, saying:
“If you have kept your word, I will
keep mine. Put out your light, and
then I'll come.’'
The major and his fellow directors
did not much like putting out the
light, but they were not cowards* and
after some demur tt was done.
When the light was out they waited
in silence, while the major grasped
firmly in one hand a revolver. For a
little white a low, grating sound was
heard, theft the falling of a heavy
body, and the newt Instant a mem was
visible, standing to the middle of the
vault, with a dark lantern to his hand.
The man soon spoke for himself and
the directors listened to astonishment.
It appeared that he was a poor man,
and obtained a precarious living to a
strange way. When the tide was low
ft fa the custom of a certain class of
people unknown to refined' society to
enter the sewers to search for any
articles of value, that may have been
accidentally washed down Into them.
One night he discovered an opening
leading to some Place above. There
was a large, square, -stone, which he
found- pould be eaally raised. He Has
tened- ;f or' some time, and finding all
was silent, lifted up the stone with"
out, much difficulty, ah® -found, after
some little- lnveaffglittew by the light
of his-, lantern; that he was to the
•stro.ngrOom'Ofabank;
life told his wife, who. was a warns®
of touch superior edaqptjon to his
ow.h,- of the whole; jtffalr, and theft he;
wrote, as we hive seen, to the dt- ‘
sector*,.!.. *
•• Tjjjf. (mystery was nogs eleared up,.
i 'aftd/'.'the directors, eMMfjt TO lights,'
examined the place carefully, and l
fully verified the man’s statements.
The dtreetors felt that they owed
the strange man a debt- of gratitude.
There was Inealeulable wealth hidden
there, in the shops* of not only notes
and the mosS tmtuable securities,, but
also in .solid huHfe.rt and Ira*® cash,
v The very . strictest search proved
that nothing had been taken besides
the box, which was .returned Intact.
When -this point was fully settled if
was agreed by the directors that the
mysterious visitor should be rewarded
for his honesty, and It" was currently
reported that they settled upon him
a liberal annuity, sufficient to support
him in comfort for the rest of his
days.—Boston Globe.
. Floor of Bananas.
A good deal of attention has been
drawn of late to the use of the banana
as a source of flour or meal, and though
such an application is by lio means
new or the discovery modern, it seems
not at all unlikely that banana flour
Is an article that has a prospect of
great development in the near future.
Wherever the banana or plantain
thrive, the fruits, when dry, are con
verted into meal and used for making
cakes, puddings, and for various other
uses in cookery. An efTort is being made
to establish a factory for the manufac
ture of banana meal. As to the use of
banana flour for brewing purposes, Mr.
Kahlke, one of the beat known manu
facturers of yeast in Germany, writes
in this connection: “Banana flour,
without doubt, from Us richness in
starch and Its good flavor, is particu
larly suitable for the manufacture of
yeast. This flour Is easily rendered
saccharine. The yeast obtained by
adding banana flour to the other in
gredients has a good color, all the re
quisite properties of an excellent class
of yeast, and, moreover, keeps well.
The alcohol obtained from It leaves
nothing to be desired, so that this flour
may be Introduced as an article of
commerce and employed without any
special preparation. Satisfactory ex
periments have also been made In some 1
breweries, where 20 per cent of malt has
been replaced by the flakes and flour of
bananas. The flavor of the beer was
not altered, and the quantity of liquid
was Increased, and the malt was re
placed by a less expensive substance.
Experiments are being made in which
the proportion of banana flour Is in
creased.”
How Mrs. tpo|«< Sow a French Duel
Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague Is one of
the few American women who ever had
the pleasure of witnessing a real duel.
One day In Paris she accompanied a
French lady of high social position to
see a duel In the outskirts of Paris.
Two Journalists of the boulevards were
the combatants. Of course, the ladles
remained In their carriage, and their
presence was unknown to all, save one
of the seconds, who had invited and es
corted them to the scene of conflict.
For a wonder, the duel was not a blood
less one. At the first shot one of the
belligerents was seriously wounded,
and as the blood spurted the French
woman In the carriage screamed, and
would have betrayed the presence of
the feminine audience If Mrs. Sprague
had not clapped her hand over her
friend’s mouth.

Etch ■ Bleeplng-Car Porter Can Afford
to Treat Traveler* Courteouily.
Henry Carey, one of the very beet of
the many good servants employed by
the Pennsylvania railroad, died about
two years ago, lamented and respected
by every officer of the road whom he
came In contact with, says the Phila
delphia Times. Carey was one of those
Ideal servants who was never around
except when he was wanted, and then
ho was sure to be in evidence. He had
that happy faculty of just knowing
what was the right thing to do at the
right moment.and If he was not wanted
you would think the earth had swal
lowed him up, and in the moment he
was wanted he appeared to descend
from the clouds. A little incident In
his life before he got in the employ of
me rauroaa company is worm relating.
At that time he was a porter of one
of the Pullman cars and one day just
as they were leaving the station in Chi
cago he was going through the cars,
when one of the passengers asked him
for some slight Information. He said
he didn’t know, but he would find out
and bring back the answer, which he
did In a few minutes. The passenger
then asked him to be good enough
to hand him a drink of water. He said
certainly in a most polite way and
brought him the glass of water. The
passenger was quite taken with the
kindly face of Carey, and said to him
that he was not very well and that he
might get worse on the journey and
asked him If he wouldn’t be good
enough to pay him some little atten
tion on the way. Carey then told him
that that was not his car, that his car
was In front and that he could give
him but very little attention there.
He then asked If he might not be re
moved to the front car. Carey said he
would have to consult the conductor,
which he did. The conductor agreed
to the transfer and he was moved Into
Carey’s car. For the first eight or ten
hours the man was rather under the
weather, but Carey gave him every at
tention tn his power, and from that on
be rather improved, but Carey still
kept up his kind attention, bringing
him everything that he thought he
might like, and doing everything that
be wanted. When he arrived in Phila
delphia Carey took bis valise ®»t to the
platform. When the passenger, watch
ing his opportunity, saw the porter of
the other ear that be had left come up
to talk with Carey, the passenger put
his -hand into his vest pocket, took oat
a hundred-dollar note and handed it to
Carey, saying; “I want to thank you
for your attention to me en the jour
ney here, and I also want to reward
you for your kindness to «. Good
day, I hope yon may have a prosperous
time-” To sa-y that the porter whose
han then passB-tiger ha# left dropped
dead, is to moderately dep-lct his feel

IWhlWi State* Senator Mtf# #
Michigan DnWm
From position and power to. penury
and want Is an epitome of the life of es
Seaator Conger, of Michigan, who baa
for many years reside# In Washington.
Fifteen years ago he was one of the
great leaders of the republican party,
yet to-day his name is almost unknown
to the readers ef the daily papers. In
the Chicago convention in 1S89, when
the Grant contingent, led by R-oscoe
CoakUng, apparently bad possession of
the organisation ef the convention, Sen
ator Conger, of Michigan, delivered a
speech of such Impregnable, logical
force that the report of the committee
on credentials was defeated, and there
by the Grant forces were ultimately
routed. For two hours Senator Conger
held that vast concourse spellbound by
his eloquence, and his effort has never
been paralleled in any national con
vention save by Bourke Cockran in
1892, but Cockran failed, while Conger
triumphed. Senator Conger is now 74
years old, and has long been In feeble
health. Two years ago his wife died,
leaving him an annuity of $100 a
month.. Her brother, James Humph
rey, is executor of the estate, and for
more than a year he has withheld the
payments of the legacy. The aged
senator has brought suit for this sti
pend, and has fought It through several
courts, receiving favorable decisions on
every occasion. In court a day or two
ago Senator Conger’s lawyer stated
that Humphrey Is withholding pay
ments with the manifest hope that the
aged senator may die, when the amount
due him Would revert to Humphrey.
The lawyer said, however, that the hope
Is in vain, as Senator Conger Is dally
swinging dumbbells and Is as de
termined to live as his brother-in-law
appears to be determined that he shall
die.
Car* for Rattlesnake Bite*.
George Lewis, the snake catcher, who
captured six 5%-foot rattlers near Port
Jarvis, N. J., two weeks ago, was bitten
in the left hand by a rattler while re
moving an old stump in a lot. He
bound a handkerchief tightly around
the wrist, and, going home, steeped the
leaves of a plant called “pilot master”
in water and ,applied poultices to the
wound every hour. The arm swelled
to an enormous size as far as the shoul
der, but the weed proved a sure cure.
Lewis was able to be- about the next
morning in Port Jarvis and exhibited
the curative weed. It is like a houite
plant, spotted, and grows from three
to tour inches high.

ONE YEAR OF CO-OKEftAYlON.
Their Motto Ie "United to Believe) Mot
Combined to Injure.”
The experiment of organizing a so
ciety on the co-operative plan in Knox
ville and Allentown Is now a year old.
The other night the first anniversary
of the Integral Co-operative associa
tion, composed of people in that com
munity, was celebrated with an en
tertainment In the Allentown Turner
hall. While the association has a mem
bership of only 123, there were 700 peo
ple at the celebration. The programme
consisted principally of vocal and in
strumental music by good local talent.
President J. Edward Chesley made a
speech, in which he told of the progress
the movement had made. Mr. Chesley
Is an enthusiast, who believes the world
is slowly but surely resolving itself In
to one mighty social organization, in
which the Golden Rule will be univer
sally practiced, and in which everybody
will buy groceries at one common sup
ply bouse at cost. During his talk the
president called attention to a large
streamer stretched across the hall, on
which was painted this motto: “United
to Relieve; Not Combined to Injure.”
In fact, this sentiment was the keynote
of his short speech. He declared that
the “old boat of competition Is sinking,
and the lifeboat of co - oper
ation is coming to the res
cue.” He explained the value of
co-operative effort, as illustrated by
the grocery owned and conducted by
the association at 48 Washington ave
nue, Thirty-first ward. He said that
all the storerooms now occupied by
stores in excess of those absolutely
necessary to supply the people was a
waste of rent. His theory is that all
profit made by the stores which the
community could get along without is a
species of robbery, and that'the patrons
are the people robbed. In connection
with the printed programme was a
statement of the condition of the co-op
erative grocery. From these figures It
would appear that the weekly sales are
$385, and that there has been a gain In
the assets of the grocery of $415.12 since
It has been running. The balance sheet
shows that thse store invoices $1,022.39
In merchandise and $484.30 m fixtures,
with $134.79 cash on hand. The Bel
lamy association, which Is an out
growth ei the Integral association,
now owns a toby factory and employs
sixteen people.—New York Sun.
BUNKS IN Am ©D© BATTLE.
they Fought Each (snarer Viciously m
the Water end Out
An' unusual battle was wltnf.asod at
Greenwood lake on Wednesday by Mr.
Sites Pickering, of Newark, and old
Steve Garrison, the veteran guide, says
New York Sun. Steve was rawing, and
St was catching frog# for bass along t^i
east share of the lake, a short dis
tance: below the Brandos house. Sud
denly they heard a remarkable squeal
ing, and an they turned a point of rocks
they saw on the shore of a little cove
tw-» full-grown minks In combat. The
usually shy animals were so busy that
they paid no attention to the approach
of the boat, and Steve rowed Hp tor
within fifteen feet of them. The
minks seemed each to he fighting fer
a throat-hold, and the way they sparred
and- scratched was highly interesting.
Finally, one caught the other by the
back, and they rolled from the reck
into the water, where they eontinned to
fight as energetically as an the share.
Soon they emerged, separately, hut
clinched as soon as they were on the
rock, and the fight waged sharper than
ever. Both minks squealed almost con
tinuously as they snapped and scratched
at each other. Three times they
pitched from the sloping rock into the
water and crawled out to renew the
fight ashore, but after another dip only
one came up. The other had evidently
tired of the fight and sneaked away
under water. The victor crept upon
the rock, and not seeing his adversary,
began to strut to and fro as if much
pleased with himself. Suddenly he
caught sight of Pickering’s striped blaz
er and fled into the bushes.
A Hen That Kill* Mice.
Councilman Samuel Bell, a horse Im
porter of Wooster, O., has a Minorca
pullet that takes as much delight in
catching rats and mice as a rat dog.
The hen was raised with a litter of fox
terriers, and from being associated con
stantly with the dogs has acquired their
hatred for rodents. She will tackle the
largest kind, and while she has never
killed a large one, will keep them at
bay until the dogs come to her relief.
She has killed many half-grown ones.
She seems to know that the big rats are
too much for her. It is in dispatching
mice that she is at home, and two to
four picks from her bill always lay the
mouse out. A funny part of the hen’s
accomplishment Is that she will stand
for hours on watch for mice, and when
one appears, pounce on it with the fury
of a cat.
