LIABILITY FOR RAISED CHECKS
Bank's Responsibility Does Not Cover

Carelessness

of tho
The appellate division of the supreme
court of New York handed down a de
cision yesterday which Is of Interest to
banks and those who do business with
them. A woman gave her husband a
1 fn- fr
He raised It to 14 Aon anA
fled with, the money. .Suit wss brought,
and the lower court held that the bank
was liable for the full amount. In the
trial It was brought out that the husband
had drawn the checV for his wife's slgna-
ture and had left quite a apace In front
of the words "nine hundred" and also
do,,ar "k .d the figure.
"'"" space enough for the word
"forty" and the figure "4," afterward filled
in. The wife admitted she noticed this
peculiarity, but made no objection. On
this showing the higher court upheld the
bank's contention that the plaintiff had
I b"'n u'"y of -rel-ssness. reversed the
of
1 lower court and ordered a new trUil. In
defining a bank's liability. Justice Hough
ton made the following remark., which
are certainly ln keeping with common
sense:
"A bank is presumed to know the slpna-
ture of his depositor, and If he pays a
forged check he cannot ctasrge the amount
to his account. If a check plainly ap
pear to hve been altered, the banker U
put on Inquiry as to the correctness of the
alteration, ana ne pays it at nis own peril.

annual report of the surveyor-general of
Canada.
This cave region Is to be opened to tour
ists. It Is only about six miles from
Glacier, the nearest station on the Can
adian Pacific railroad and the goal of so
many tourists that some of them In the
height of the Beason have to live in sleep
ing cars, aa they cannot get hotel ac
commodations. A good trail has been cut and a road Is
to be built between Glacier and the caves.
In the caves ladders have been placed and
paths roped in; plank walks are to be built
across the rough places and In many other
ways the visit to the caves is to be made
comfortable and convenient.
It Is still rough work, for steep climbing I which Is nearly as alarming. The commit
Is recjulreu to reach the region, and none ', tee did, however. In deference to the de

Known Only Three Tears.
The caves were discovered by Charles
II. Deutschman In May, 1904, while he was i
hunting big game and prospecting for j
mlnelals- 11 wa a year laler before any- ;
thing was done to ascertain their extent
and character.
" Deutschman has done most of the ex
ploring. Mr. Wheeler calls him a very re
markable man and wtmt he says about the
work Deutschman has done without assUt-
ance shows that he Is utterly devoid of !
fear. His exploits certainly have reaulred
more than courage; they have taken
strength of purpose and will power be
yond the ordinary. gome people would
call them foolhardy.
Time and again he has descended into
these caves alone. He has penetrated
depths of the blackest darkness, Illumined '
only by the dim ray of a tallow dip.
Added to the thick darkness ln which he
often groped his way was the nerve shak
ing and uncanny roar of subterranean
torrents.
He has crossed huge cracks and made
precipitous descents In pitch darkness
when a misstep would have meant death.
Wheeler says that now that ladders are
In position and guard ropes set up It Is
difficult to realize how Deutschman made
his pioneer Journeys In these caverns.
The best light thus far provided during
the surveys and explorations has been
from acetylene bicycle lamps, which have
proved very serviceable.
Creek Disappears In toroomd.
The caverns occur at this place only be
cause here Is a limestone deposit, though
this rock Is rare ln the Belklrks. , As vou
are walking along ln the valley of Cougar
creek you will discover that the roaring
mountain torrent suddenly disappears In
the earth and away below you will find
tho place where It comes to the surface
again.
You will find other streams where simi
lar phenomena occur. You will see in the
distance a
beautiful waterfall, sixty feet
high, ancV te you approach, you
Will be
surprised to find that Its waters do not
flow away, but sink where they fall Into
a great hole and disappear Into the sub
terranean regions.
These underground waterways are the
exception and not the rule In the Selklrks
and the main range of the Rockies.
Nothing like them Is known In any other
part of the Selklrks and only two streams
of the kind have been found In the main
range of the Rocky mountains.
Another curious phenomenon Is ob
served. No matter how warm the day
may be as you wander among these moun
tains you may come to more than one
place where a shaft of cold wind strikes
you.
If you look for the cause you will find
a crack In the rock through which comes
a current of air like that produced by a
electric fan, but much stronger. The air
comes from somewhere In the Interior of
the mountain. These air currents gave
the first Intimation of the existence of
the caves.

of the caves are over 250 feet below the

I Here and there the water, swinging from

During m revolution the prices of food
In Philadelphia rose to such a height that
a committee was appointed to see that no
serious overcharge or extortion was prac

Immediately after the civil war, never
equaled those asked at this remote period.
To an upprejudiced observer today It does
not appear thst the committee was able to
make any serious break Into the sonrlng
prices asked at that time.
For Instance, In the spring of 1779 "the

may be taken for granted that the mer

being submitted to the Inspection of one of
the clerks of the market, who seizes un

"The fish market, from Its distance from
the sea. Is but Indifferently supplied, though
much pains la taken to procure a regular
supply. Light carts are constantly coming

Jersey, with the most drllcate fish of the

The young woman spent the greater pari
of tha day weeping In her cell In the wom

pecting any hour would bring some word
of encouragement or promise of assistance
from her sweetheart. But none came. He,
apparently, was satisfied with the arrange
ments being made for his defense by his
out lawyers and did not worry about the
fact that the young woman had neither
lawyer nor money.
"Will you give your motives for stealing
the papers which were found in your puses
slon when you were arrested?" Miss Mc
Lean was asked.
"Well, that la where the whole trouble
lies," she replied. "It Is such a s.mple mat
ter that I am afraid nobody will bellevo
my story. Let me ton or the circumstances
like myself could secure such a responsible
postion as obtained with Mr. Sims, although
I had no friends or Influence. I realised tho
responsibility of my position and was caie

"In order to be safe I always talked over
everything that was brought up at the
office with Mr. Gordee. I had no Idea there

"I told Mr. Gordee of the letter and ha at

have thought anything wrong of him, and
I hate to do so now."
"Who are the various persons with whom
he has conferred in an effort to sell these
papers?"
"I do not know," she said. "He didn't
tell me whst he wss doing. I thought hs
was spending all his time trying te sell
the type ousting machine. All these thing
that have been said about him since I was
arrested came as a surprise to me."
"What wss Gordee's source of Income?

considerable money. I know that I never

In President Cleveland' second admin

and even 'unacknowledged. It was Mr. Mc
Klnloy who established the rule that a
typewritten form of acknowledgment
should be sent ln reply to every letter ad
dressed to the White House, no matter iow
humble the writer or how Insignificant hi
communication. Thl custom, born of the
courtesy and kindness which were con
splclous traits In President McKlnley's
character, frequently waa misunderstood
as Implying that in referring letters, he
had recommended favorable action upon
them. There was then and Is now a firm
ly established rule Hhat neither the presi
dent, nor any other executive officer shall
exert his personal Influence In behalf of
any private matter.
Only the letters of the president's per
sonal friends and those of prominent of
ficials relating to confidential matters are
reserved by Secretary Loeb for the peru
sal of his chief. The bulk and scope of the
president daily mall render any other
course Impracticable.

"the Lord must have loved the plain peo

The letters written by women to the

evidence of hours of careful and even

defective spelling, false syntax, and crip

Miss Nigel Gonterman. a daughter, ha4
Just received a five-pound box of candy
from a friend In Chicago and when her
aunt arrived she extended It, a. the bthar
aoned.
She hurried to the pentT n u1
several swallows of milk as an antldota
and ran from the house to aeoure medical
assistance. IIr brother was Just entering;
the gate of his residence, at Nineteenth
and D streets, as she left the door, and
on hearing the word "pol.on" he grasped
her arm and half carried her across tha
street to the office of Dr. ft W. Blnney.
The latter' saw at once that the case
waa desperate and while he worked d's
ratehed messengers for Dr. W. H, Gray
son and a nurse from the hospital.
The trio and the brother then bent their
united efforts to the tssk of saving tha
girl. So rapid was the action of the poison
that she sank lower and lower, and finally
her heart stopped. The quartet thought
that she .was dead, but after a moment
the pulsations of the heart began and tha
crisis was past.
By nlfrht Miss Gonterman was sufficiently
Improved to be placed on an lnterurbon
car and taken to her home In Ed wards -wllle.
So was still very weak yesterday,
but on the road to recovery.
But three minutes elapsed from the time
Miss Goterman ate the candy until she
was under the physicians' care, and so
narrow was the margin that the doctor
declared that If five minutes had elapsed
no efforts of theirs could hav saved her,
The candy that was eaten by the other
members of 'the family did not affect them.
The poison that came so near proving
fatal to Miss Gonterman was pronounced
hydrocyanic acid by Dr. Blnnoy.
"This acid practically is the same aa
what Is more commonly known a. prussto
acid," said the doctor last night.
"It Is procured by a process of fermenta
tion from the pits of apricots and peach
seeds, from almonds and Braxll nuts. So
deadly It Is that half a drop on one's
tongue produces Instant death. The victim
would not have time to draw a breath.
