The fiocml suiison in Omaha has closed ,
jrct whllu the curtain has bucn run-down
thuro will bo enacted on the boards LMch
week , even dunnc Iho warmest of the
hcatrd turm , sonic very pleasant events
The event of the past week was the \
Croighton college exercises , which ,
though not strictly social , drew out the
cllto of the city to a very pleasant social
as well as literary event. The entire at
tention of the beaux and belles Is now at
tracted to the summer resorts , where
they will soon be Idling away the happy
moments of their lives. It is said by n
lady who has attained quite n
reputation as n connoisseur in
eoclal matters that not only will
Omaha bo more largely represented at
summer resorts this season than ever be
fore , but that in her opinion Cupid will
perform mat-y antics startling to many
deeply interested people of Iho ( Jalc
Cily. It is not surprising of course that
Cupid should gel iu his work wilh n will ,
in poetic nooks , but the mysterious
prophecy of ono who is regarded as a
well informed and observing social critic ,
will warrant Omaha society In preparing
for several surprises and a number of
wcddinirs in high life , when the whirl is
resumed. In saying adieu to llio season ,
disinterested persons may bid Iho lilllo
manipulator of hearts Clod-spued , and
cherish Iho hope lhat his aim will bo
sure and swift and hta targets chosen
with wisdom from on high.

The ninth annual commencement of
Crcightou college look place Thursday
evening , and was n brilliant and con
spicuous event in Omaha's collegiate and
social annals. Every inch of available
space in Exorcise hall of the college
building was occupied by the smiling
nnd expcctanl friends of Iho ambitious
young students. The hall was beauti
fully and becomingly dccoralcd , espe
cially the stage , which was festooned
with flairs and flowers. On the right of
the platform wns a portrailurc of the Into
Edward Creighton , the founder of Iho
college , and on the loft his wife , Mrs.
Mary L. Creighlon , while immediately
in Iho rear of the platform wns
ix Inrco and excellently executed
painting of the Right Kov. liishop James
O'Connor , U.D. Atnoue Iho distinguished
persons present were : ( lovernor JohnM.
Thns'or , lion. John A. Creighton , Kov.
John Jcnncllc , Kov. McDonald , Rev.
Ryan , of Columbus , Kov. Colniori , secre
tary to bisiion , Kov. Choka , Kev. Coop-
mane , S. J. Wilboos. The evening exer
cises wcro inaugurated by a charmingly
rendered overture , "Tho Tourist , " by U.
Schlepporeli , at the hands of Professor
S. Iloll'tnnnn's admirableorchestra. .
The programme , as outlined in n previ
ous issue of the BKK , was well rendered
throughout. Governor John M. Thayer
presented the medals to the pupils , nnd
nflor parlaking of an excellent lunch m
Iho college rooms the guests dispersed.
IT is n fact , however , much it may sur
prise the nverugo being , that newspaper
men do get we'nry. Tne caiwo of this is
diillcult lo account for. All they have lode
do the entire year is lo hang around ns
listless ornaments of nowsunuer ollices.
What litllo news they secure comes to
them wilhout an effort on their part , and
in npplo pie order for the intelligent com
positor and Iho erilicnl reader. The en
tire make-up of Iho sheet upon which they
prclond lo labor Is duo to some unknown
power which throws things together in n
readable shape without an effort. Por-
Imps the fact may bo accounted for by
the reflection that the only men rcnlly
iltted for positions in the sanctum nre
in olhor business entirely foreign to that
of news gathering nnd consent
on all occasions to honor
different journals with produc
tions of their pens. Of course these
productions are prima facia good matter ,
nnd in ship-shape for Iho printer. Aside
from these contribulions there is little
else published in Iho daily press , and as
n consequence the men who draw sal
aries on Iho various journals of Omnhn ,
nro litllo moro than luxuries to their
ollices. However , with all their idle
ness nnd continual rest they will got
tired , nnd as the boated lor in comes on
in full force the youne men's fancy light
ly turns to Ihoughts of rest.
The salary of the Omaha newspaper
man is not much if not enormous , nut it
may ns well bo understood right hero
that it Incks a good deal of being enor
mous.
The largo salaries which they draw ,
nnd for wnich they have liltlo or no use
save to pay out on permanent lonns rs
soon ns drawn , does not quite cnnblo
newspaper men to take the extended
pleasure trips their fancy would suggest.
in candor , however , the past year has
boon a'busy ono for the knichls of Iho
Fubor iu Ihis city. Generally the summer
mor hns known no rest to thorn , but It is
said that during this season many of
Omaha's wcnry journalists will really hie
themselves to health and rest giving re
treats where they will sccuro a well
earned season of relief.
AT TIIK club rooms of the Omnhn Wheel

BEATS ENOCH ARDEN.
A True Story of Love , Separation , Itc-
AfnrringG and n Flnnl Itnunlon.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch : The fol
lowing story from life , which decidedly
discounts the romance of Enoch Arden ,
was completely corroborated in the West
End last evening : Years ago , in the min
ing town of Ponte Pool , nestling among
the mountains of the coast of Wales ,
Georco Poland and Alary Davis wore
married amid the great rejoicings of
their many friends. AH things at first
conspired to make their wedded life a
happy one , and as the years passed by
children blessed their humble homo.
Poland had risen and became an en
gineer at one of llio mines , and Airs.Poland
was llio landlady of a counlry inn. Po
land's work necessitated his absence from
home several nights iu the week. A do
mestic servant led the husband after ono
of his departures to doubt his wife's
fidelity. Ills pride being injured , and ,
being a quick tempered man , ho up
braided Airs. Poland. She in turn an
swered him hastily , and he , in the heat
of Ills passion cast her oft' . Rushing out
of the house he never rested" until on
board n steamer bound for America.
Ho came to Pittsburg and obtained
work in ono of tlio coal mines near the
cily. There he worked steadily and en
deavored to forget the woman of whom
he believed that she had wronged him in
far oil'Wales. After being in America n
few months ho received a loiter from a
friend in his old home , which stated that
his wife was ill.and would never recover.
In 1801 Poland mot Airs. Alary Simp
son , a widow who kept a boarding
house at Uanksville , and , being informed
that his wife was dead , ho proposed and
was accepted by the widow as her hus
band. They weroquietly , married , which
was not generally known to their friends ,
and their married life passed without se
rious disturbance until 1885 , when they
were separated iu a romantic way.
Ono summer day , two vcars ago. a
travel-tired litllo lady walked into the
"Old Slono Tavern " Iho
, on Washing-
Ion plko , and , with a pronounced Welsh
accent , asked where Georero Poland re
sided. The proprietor jokingly asked
her if she was his wife , bho replied that
she was with such seriousness that the
host determined to send for Poland , as he
was a particular friend of his. The long
separated couple mot in the dining room
room of the hotel , where the proprietor
left them to tell their stories.
Airs. Poland then explained that after
a few years of toil and strucrglo wilhout
success , she determined to como to Amer
ica and find her husband. Drifting to
Wilkcsbarro , Pa. , her sons obtained work
in the mines , and were doing well. Of
Poland she hoard nothing until two years
ago , when a family from Pittsburg moved
to WilKesbarre , and told the woman
where her hnsbandjwas. She came on to
this city , and found him married to an-
olhor woman. He had little to say , but
she determined'lo Jbavo him to enjoy his
second wedded experience , and in his
company returned to Wilkosbarro.
Poland came buck-to this city , but did
not live with the second wife , who soon
afterward fell ill and died , it is said ,
from the resiUt ot brooding over the
great crime she thought she had coin-
milled. Poland-boarded wilh the two
children of his second wife , but later ho
furnished a house of his own and had his
daughter keep house for him , until sev
eral weeks ago , when dho left him.
Deserted by his'former friends , old and
partially blind from the result of an acci
dent , ho , upon the advice of a friend ,
wrote to his lirst wife , begged her for
giveness for the wrong ho had done her ,
and pleaded with her to come back to
him. She consented , and arrived iu
town last Tuesday.
The old couple ( Poland being now over
70 years of ago , and Airs. Poland a few
years younger ) wore seen last evening ,
wending their way to a grocery store tote
to lay in a stock o'f provisions , as happy
as any young married couple just begin
ning life tooguther.

Some Interesting Points.
"A.'MnN. ' Y. Commercial Advertiser :
Allow mo spnco for n few remarks nilcnt
the editorial "Do Hunk Examiners Em-
niuino ? " printed In your paper last Fri
day. Tlio discussion of this subject is
llmcly ami necessary , and should result
in jreat good to the national bunking
system , as well as to the country at
largo.
"Do Hank Examiners Examine ? " Nol
their examinations , as a rule , are inado
in : i most perfunctory manner , as would
appear from the perusal of their reports
to the comptroller. Hut those reports are
scaled book to the public. In several
instances , within my own knowledge ,
justice was defeated by tlio comptroller's
refusal to permit any examination of the
reports liled in his olllco , whether mtido
by his examiners or by bank oflicors.
As n result , incompetent , if not
venal , persons were continued
as examiners , and dishonest bank
ollicurs were allowed to prolong their pec
ulations till concealment was no longer
possible. The most striking illustrations
of this truth , in recent years , are the Me
chanics' National and the First National
banks of 'Newark , N. J. ; the Pacilic Na
tional bank , of Hoston. Mass. ; the Marino
National and Second National banks of
this city ; and the Fidelity National bank ,
of Cincinnati , O. Competent and honest ,
examination of these corporations would
have saved for their stockholders and
creditors millions of dollars. More than
this , it would have exposed the methods
of thodihhoncst orticials , and consigned
thorn to prison before they hail made
much progress in their thelts.
U'oro the examiners in tlio cases cited
removed ? No ; they were continued in
ollieo to tlio injury of the service and the
discredit of the national bank system.
Regarding the appointment of exam
iners , the United States revised statutes
( title Ixxii. , ch.1 , sec. 5'JIO ) provides
among oilier things , as follows :
"The comptroller of the currencywith
the anproval of the secretary of the
*
treasury , shall , as often as shall bo
deemed necessary or proper , appoint a
suitable person or persons to make an
examination of the all'airs of every bank
ing association , who shall iiavn power to
make a thorough examination into all
the affairs of tic ! association , and , in
doing so , to examine any of the oilicors
and agents thereof on oath , and shall
make a full and detailed report of the
condition of the association to the comp
troller. "
"I'L'U.S. '
BANK B-XVMINKKS WHO IIAVK
It cannot bo denied thai many "suita
ble persons" have been appointed exam-
Miers , out far too often , in llio past , the
o.xiiminor owed his appointment to polit-
cal "pulls , " family inllueneo , or
favoritism on the part of the
Comptroller. It is needless to add that
Such an appointee is sure to bo a sycoph-
ftnl , who knows enough to adapt himself
'o ' the business of his chief. If , there
fore , tlio comptroller is weak , incompo-
' < ! tit or venal , what can bo expected of
Ins subordinates ? A case in point occurs
to mo.
The cashier of a bank in n neighboring
stale , t > y bad investments and general
mismanagement , lost about one-half its
capital slock. Then ho was allowed to
resign , but he soon turned np as a na
tional bank examiner. His antecedents
and lack of training and experience dis
qualified him for siich an ollicc , which is
more responsible than that of cashinr or
president in any financial institution.
Bill by reason of some mysterious influ
ence lie was appointed and became a
prime favorite of the department by
toadying to his chief. It is such persons
as this who justify your statement tliut
"it has como to bo customary for the gov
ernment examiners to givn bank olllcials
two _ or Ihreo clays beforehand a quiet
notification of their intended visit" lo the
end that "mailers at the bank" may bo
"arranged in proper fashion. " Doubtless
Ihis conduces , as you say , "to the popu
larity of the bank examiners , " but at
what a fearful cost to slockholdors and
creditors is seen in the failures above
noted and many others that could bo
added to the list.
BANK OFFICKKS AUE GIVEN A HINT.
Those not fully informed on the subject
will probably treat as a newspaper mylh
your statement lhat bunK examiners giyo
to bank olllcers a quiet , limply hint as to
approaching examinations. All the same
the statement is true : and that such hints
are sometimes necessary and valuable to
the oflicors is conclusively proven by the
quotations given below from letters of the
president of a nalioivil bank , in high
credit , lo one of his directors : "It is
absolulcly necessary that your account
be made good eiiher to-day or to-morrow
without fall , as 1 am apprehensive that
tlio V. P. is hooping track of it , although
holias said nothing to mo about it. lint
don't lot anything prevcnl its being made
good before Wednestny morning. '
A week later came this epistle : "I
have been looking for you all day. You
said lhat you would como down witli that
letter from , and that you were cer
tain of chock this morning. Your over
draft has boon increased by the payment
of the draft a few days ago , and noth
ing is done , as promised. What is the
niatlor ? "
Three days aflcrward came Iho follow
ing : "I did not put the overdraft book
on the directors' tableycrtorday morning ,
as requested or rather suggested by
last week , for Iho reason of Iho over
draft in vour account , and I cannot un
derstand" why you do not make your ac
count good. It docs not seem possible
that you cannot sell for spot cash either
stock or bond * enough lo makn
your account good. If you say that you
cannot and want mo lo Iry I will do it.
My first thought would bo lo go lo
and ask him for an oiler on bonds.
and I would accent any oiler at 50 per
cent or belter. The overdraft miisl bo
made good and Iho account must bo kepi
good. I will not for any personal ad
vantage bo a party to a continued viola
tion of the bank rules. 1'lcaso lot mo
know at once what is to bu douo. "
I happen lo know that the "overdraft"
referred to was only Iho "laii end , " so to
speak , of an overdraft which amounted
to more than 20 per cent of llio bank's
capital. And ils prcsidnut allowed ithis
to bo done in furtherance of a doubtful
bi'sincss venture , from which ho and his
co-direclorscxpcclcdlo realize largo per
sonal prollls. Hy "kilo flying" and
false entries Iho matter was concealed
from the directors , as a whole , and all
others not immediately interested.
In this case the president and director
aforesaid clearly violated Iho law and ,
had the bank examiner been equal to his
duties and fearlessly discharged ihcm.lio
certainly would have unearthed this
fraudulent transaction and brought the
guilty parties to justice ,
WHAT SAVES Till : HANKS.
That more banks have not been wrecked
is duo rather to ttio honesty of their di
rectors and otliccrs than to government
supervision. Fortunately oflicors and di
rectors like those referred to above arc
xceptional. It is llio duly of Iho exam
iner lo ferret them out and lay bare their
methods , and lliu law confers upon thorn
the power to do so "to make a thorough
examination Into all the nfluirs of thu as *
sooiation , and , In doing so , to .oxamlno
any of the olllccrs and agents thereof on
oiith. " If this law wcro enforced bank
failures , llko angel vlsils , would bo "fow
and far between. " Hut its enforcement
would doubtless dclract from the "popu
larity of the examiners. "
The examination farce should bo
slopped , cither by abolishing it alto-
collier , or by employing as examiners
men ot recognized fitness. Ability , expo-
pcrlcnoo , Integrity and indopondcnco
should determine every appointment.
The right mini can bo had. but not at the
rate of compensation fixed by law.
There are other abuses in the adminis
tration of tlio iiationul currency laws
which require attention. Hut il would
bo n waste of words to discuss them until
the comptroller's department is thor
oughly overhauled and put upon n sound
business basis. Tlio present Incumbent
Is an Improvement on his immediate
predecessors ; but tlio old , secretive , star
chamber methods continue. Tlio rec
ords of Iho department should at once bo
tluown open to the public ; then Iho
newspaper press will have n chance lo
expose , before il is lee late , the evil
practices of bank oHIcers who stand in
need of friendly hints from examiners.
Therefore , I say , lurn upon Iho comp-
Irollor's ollicolho inlolligeneo and energy
which characleri7.es Iho Commercial Ad
vertiser in all mailers of Ihis kind , and
tlio "Examiner" aim so will speedily dis
appear. In my opinion , ; lliero is no
greater service you can render 10 the
public.
