Cricklewood is one of the districts most affected, and.a veritable reign of terror exists among householders ‘there. Gangs are also exceptionally busy in Surbiton and the surround- ing country, where ut least a dozen pone burglaries have taken place of ate. : i “The,'view taken by the police,” a prominent insurance official says, ‘is that the extraordinary, prevalence of ‘burglary is due to Herbert Glad- stone’s action in granting wholesale remission of sentences to criminals serving terms of imprisonment under (six months. :

“This mistaken act of clemency has resulted in London and the suburbs being flooded with thieves and bur- glars, who have taken advantage of their unexpected freedom to exercise their talents during the dark and foggy autumn nights.”

The police are not indifferent or in- ‘active, though they are largely blamed by the sufferers. Every article stolen has been fully described, and com- iplete lists have been sent round to ewelats and pawn-brokers.

Special plain clothes men have been ut on, with instructions to watch for jany ticket-of-leave mnan or ex-convict who may. be prowling around. “There are many of these characters of whom we have lost trace,” said a Scotland Yard detective to an Express representative recently,

Unclaimed money in the treasury due to bondholders amounted to nearly a million dollars in 1861, and the gum is much greater now. Of a loan which fell due in 1900 the sum of $32,000 re- mains unclaimed. Nearly $100,000 is still unpaid of the 5 per -cent bonds which were due in 1904, This year over $100,000,000 thirty year 4 per cent bonds came due on July 1. Special in- ducements were offered to secure early redemption. Yet at the end of the month $13,000,000 still stood in the treasury on this account, although tn- terest has ceased.—Youth’s Companion,

The old man has only one arm. The other is off at the shoul- fer. By the use of a vise which he sperates with his knee he is able to hold the rough, pattern of the key while he works on it with his file.

something that touched him more closely. “Oh, come, Jack,” protested God-

frey, at last, “this is no time to put on the: high'and mighty. You don’t seem to realize what an exceedingly serious position you're in.”

“I know one thing, Godfrey,” re- turned Drysdale, with a forced smile,

“I wouldn't be too eure of it. Things like that happen occasionally. How did Graham get hold of that button off your raincoat?” :

“I’m sure I-don’t know.”

“You wore the coat that-evering?”

“Yes.” ie

“And the button was on it?”: ,

“Yes. I’d have missed it if it hadn’t

been. Besides, I buttoned the coat up’

when I started back to the house.” Godfrey’s face flushed,-and his eyes. began to glisten. “You're sure, then, that it was on the coat when you returned to the house?”

aks

“Hither you killed Graham or Tremaine did.’

“Why, yes,” answered Drysdale, look- ing at him in sume astonishment, “rea- sonably sure.” . ; , ;

Godfrey fell a moment silent; then he shook his head impatiently. ,

“There’s another thing,” he said. “How did your pistol get out there in that boat?’ ‘

“That’s another puzzler.”

“Now, see here, Jack,” continued Godfrey seriously, “there’s ‘one thing certain, either you killed Graham or

Tremere did” : aine?”’ repeated the prisoner,

with tightening Hps,

“Yes. Do you know of any evidence against him?’

Drysdale paused a moment, his brows knitted, .

“No,” he answered positively at last. “I don’t see how Tremaine could pos- .swibly have done it.”

“Why not?’

“Because he didn’t leave the house, 60 Delroy says, I know he was there when I went out, and when I came back I saw him aitting by his lighted window, writing apparently.” ‘

“Ah!” Then after a moment, “Did you keep that journal you promised to keep?’

“Yes. You'll find it in my room. That is”— :

He stopped suddenly and colored.

“Well? Out with it.” ts iy : “I Just happened to think that per- haps that fool of a coroner’s got it, See here, Jim, if-you find it I want you to promise me one thing—that you

won’t read it—not yet—it won't help:

you a bit.”

.“I'm not-so sure of that,” - retorted Godfrey grimly. “Why don’t you want me to read it?” : .

“The fact is,” Dryédale answered, coloring still more, “that after I- got

Jack—I won't read it unless | find that I can’t clear you any other, way.”

Drysdale heaved a sigh of relief.

¢ We heard the jailer’s footsteps ap. proaching along the corridor. ;

“I° don’t doubt it,” said Drysdale, with a puzzling listlessness. “It's very good of you both to-take all this trou- ble.”

The jailer opened the dagpr, and we passed out, .

“Oh, so they haven't found it, then?”

“No, sir; they searched Drysduale's room, but it wasn't there. Now they're tryin’ t' figger out where he bid it.”

“Well,” ovserved . Godfrey, . “they'll | bave to figure a long time, because he cicn't hide it anywhere.”

“Mebbe not, sir,"’, retorted the jailer, with a skeptical smile. ‘But appear- ances are dead agin him. Why, even , his girl thinks he did it.’”’

“How do you know that?” demanded Godfrey quickly. 7 RSE

“When Heffelbower was bringin’ him out otth’ house, they met her in th’ hall an’ she asked Drysdale what he wanted t’ do it fer, why he couldn't ’a’ waited awhile: .That’s purty good evidence, I think,” ;

Godfrey had listened with a face hard as steel. He turned away without an- swering, and as Wwe went down the street together I saw that this new ge velopment puzzled and worried him sorely. That Miss Croydon should think Drysdale guilty, even for an instant, was inconceivable!

We made our way to the nearest ho- tel and engaged a trap and while it was getting ready ordered a_ light } lunch. Godfrey ate in thoughtful si- lence; as for me, I confess that I saw little ground for that conviction he had expressed so confidently, that we could prove our client’s Innocence.’ I was forced to admit that to look at Drys- ' dale no one would believe him capable of such a crime. But, then, for that matter, to look at Tremaine, who would believe him capable of it? Put the two men before a jury and Tremaine would come off victor every time. It becomes instinctive in time for a lawyer to try to look at his cases with an average jury’s eyes—he must see them as those twelve .men-in the box will see.them—. and applying that method’ now it was very evident to me that the chance of clearing our. client was very slim in- deed. ‘ ,

The trap came around to the door, and in a moment we were off along the sandy road. At last we swung down before the door at Edgemere. A man ran out to hold our horse. We asked for Mr. Delroy, and a servant who had been stationed in the vestibule took in our cards. He returned immediately and conducted us to the library. _Del- roy came forward to meet us, our cards in his hands, a curious look of doubt and perplexity upon his countenance.

“My dear Godfrey,” he began, “I didn’t like to refuse to see you, and ‘yet I’ve declined to talk to reporters’’—

“You’re not talking to one now, Mr. Delroy,” broke in my companion, “I’ve

“Oh, that’s all right then,’ and Del- roy breathed a. sigh of relief. to see you. And you, too, Mr. Lester.”

“Mr, Lester ts Drysdale’s counsel,” explained my companion. ‘Between us we're going to see that he’s cléhred of this ridiculous charge.”

“Yes, I hope you will. Sit down, for it, and yet,” he added, passing his hand before his eyes in a dazed way, ‘there are so many points of evidence which seem unexplainable that I’ve grown giddy thinking about them, It’s such a terrible thing my wife is quite prostrated, even a little delirious at times; her sister is almost ill; we've all been terribly upset.”

“No doubt,” nodded Godfrey. his ‘ace curiously intent. “We're not go-

ing to trouble you much now, Mr. De)- roy. The only thing 1 should. like you to do is to give us an account of all that happened that evening. I bope you will do that.” ‘ .

“Yes, I'll be glad to do that.” And he

“Tremaine! Then there’s been ill feeling between them?’

PUT RING IN HIS MOUTH, Clergyman cads Burial Service at

\ Marriage Cerernony.

Some ‘painfil stories were told at Consistory Court, of the Diocese. of, Bath'and Walls, held: at. Taunton, Eng- land, td | investigate charges of drunkenness against Rey. James Hen-. ry Taylor; viear of Isle ‘Abbots, near Taunton: Athong them was an alle- gation thatthe vicar. recently appear- ed to conduct.a marriage service while in a state of intoxication, and on that occasion mixed up the burial and bap- tismal services with the wedding ser- vice, ' ;

Chancellor Mr. Chadwyck-~ Healey, K.. C,, presided over the court, and: was assisted by five assessors, one of whom was Right Hon. Henry Hob- house. ° :

The charges, which were brought under, the Clergy Discipline Act, al- leged that the defendant was drunk on Easter Day; 1906, and also on Aug. 16, 19 and 20 last. There was a fur- ther charge that the defendant had during the last five years given him- self-up to habits of drunkenness. The prosecution was undertaken, at the request of the bishop, by Rev. James Street, rural dean of Ilminster, wha was represented by Mr. Vachell, the defence being conducted by Mr. Wea- therley. ;

In detailing the history of the case, counsel for the prosecution stated that the defendant was for some years in South Africa, ‘and on his return’ to England was for a time deputation secretary for the Society for the Pro- pagation of the, Gospel.

After he had gone to Isle’ Abbots he became bankrupt through building a vicarage, and thereafter, according to counsel, gave way to drinking bouts, during which he mixed up ser-' vices, and these were very irregular- ‘ly held. This caused a great scandal in the parish and emptied the church and Sunday. School, said Mr. Vachell, who went on to tell the remarkable story of a marriage service at the de- fendant’s church in August last. -

The vicar, said counsel, commenced the service before the bride had ar- rived, spoke almost inarticularly, ‘smelled: strongly of spirits, being ob- viously in an advanced state of in- toxication.

When the’service recommenced he read what’ appeared to be a part of the burial service, saying: ‘I commit these persons to the ground, earth to earth.”

The bridegroom broke in and said:

“That’s not right, what are you -doing?”’ ;

The vicar thereupon held up_ his finger, and said: “Hush! Keep quiet.” He afterwards resumed and went into: the baptismal service, and was heard to. say: “I baptize these people with water.” ’ ‘

Subsequently, said counsel, he put the bride’s ring into his mouth and repeatedly kissed the hands of the contracting parties. ;

Another clergyman came and finish- ed the service.

William Shepherd, sole churchwar- den.of Isle Abbots, gave evidence as to, the “vicar’s alleged drunken con- dition at the services; and said he had led him out ‘of @hurch drunk’ s

Jn cross-examination witness said the defendant had told him he suffer- ed from malaria, gravel, neuralgia, and weakness of the ankles. Witness denied that the vicar had said that when so suffering he did not know what he was doing or saying.

Mr. Weatherley, the defending counsel; said that, after consulation with his client, he would plead guilty to the original charges.

In mitigation of the sentence he contended that Mr. Taylor was not a habitual drunkard, but had only taken drink because of the terrible pains which he suffered, and which overcame him. :

The defendant had always put for- ward to his churchwarden the ex- cuse Of ill-health.

The Bishop of Bath and Wells will pass sentence in due course.

any questions they may ask

We went first to the boathouse and pier and ‘looked over. the scene of the

change in Godfrey's: demeanor, He no longer seemed either perplexed, or ywor- ried: ‘His ‘face was shining ‘with ‘tri-

To the boathouse he gave a particu: larly careful scrutiny, searching in’ ey- ery corner, apparently for some mil- inute object which he failed to find, Out on the pier again he stood, looking up and down with thoughtful face.

“Pshaw!” he said suddenly. “I might have known Nd was just wasting my time in there. Come this way, Les- ter.” f ' “

He hurried back through the boat- house and down to the beach, ' Along the edge of it he walked, scrutinizing every inch of the sand. - Suddenly he stooped, with a little cry of triumph, and caught ap a small bottle. It was quite empty, He removed the cork, sniffed it and replaced it quickly.

“Do you mean.to say, Godfrey,” I de- manded in, astonishment, “that ‘you have been looking for that bottle?’

“It’s precisely what I’ve been look- ing for,” he returned exultantly. ‘And I’ve learned one thing—nevet to mis- trust a logical deduction. Now let’s go back to the house. And, Thomas,” he added to our guide, “take us back by theWay that will bring us opposite the room occupied by Mr. Tremaine.”

“All right, sir,” said Thomas. - “His room was right next to Mr. Drysdale’s in th’ east wing—there it is now, sir— th’ third and fourth windows from th’ end.” as ’ “And the fifth and sixth windows be- Jong to -Mr. Drysdale’s room?’

“Yes, sir.” i

A sort of balcony ran along the en- tire wing just beneath the windows, half covered with creeping vines, which in summer no doubt completely draped it. Godfrey examined .it with shining eyes. Then he walked straight to the end of the building.

“Now, Lester,” he said, “I’m going to make a prediction. I predict that we'll find the wall at the corner fresh- ly scratched in more than one place. Ah, now, see there!”

The marks-were plain enough, and the cluster of heavy vines which ran up here against the house also showed_ signs of abrasion,

_ “What would you say those marks meant, Lester?” Godfrey asked.

“] should say,” I answered, readily enough, “that some one had recently climbed up to the balcony or down from it.”

“Both ways, Lester; both up and down. Oh, this is much simpler than I’d expected! Now take us up to the rooms, Thomas.”

But in the vestibule he paused,

“Ig that the rack where the coats hang, Thomas?” he asked, er

“Yes, sir.”

“And where Mr. Drysdale bung his coat that night?’

“Yes, sir.”

“Did you happen to notice, Thomas, when he came in whether or-not the top button of his raincoat was miss- ing?” : : .

“Yes, sig,” answered Thomas slowly. “I thought about it afterward, and it's mighty funny, sir, but I'd swear he had Ls coat buttoned up tight around his throat. Hlow could he ‘a’ dow® tiat if th’ top button wasn't there?”

“How indeed?” mused Godfrey, gaz- ing at the rack with eyes intent.

Then they softened, brightened; his face broke into a smile.

“Of course,” be said, half to himself. “How dense of me not to have thought of it! Now. Thomas, we'll go upstairs.”

MURDER WILL OUT.

Atrocious Crime Discovered Through . Clairvoyant’s Agency,

In connection: with the murder of little Edith Pinnock, the 10-year-old daughter of a tollkeeper at Grahams- town, Cape Colony, a remarkable tale is told of the method by which the crime was discovered.

The girl was sent to purchase gro- ceries, but never returned. After ‘some days the father suggested to a detective engaged on the case that they should enlist the aid of George Staples, a clairvoyant. This was done. Staples was thrown into a hy notice trance by a Mr. Jabez Smith, and then questioned, He said that the girl was murdered, and that her body lay under the floor’ of a house.

“Can you see the house?” he was asked. “I can,” he replied,-and pro- ceeded to describe the murder, which was preceded by assault, in ‘detail.

Aroused from his trance, he led the way across the Grahamstown . golf links, and indicated the club-house as the one he had seen in his vision. The place was searched, and sure enough buried in the cellar-the girl’s boly was found.

The caretaker, named Kerr, was arrested. He said, “It’s funny,” and

Their contents, however, it is stated, were not \specially, described, and the boxes were booked as ordinary parcels at company’s risk. : They weré accordingly dealt with in the usual way and ‘packed into a collecting van, which went to Euston station, picking up parcels from sev- eral ‘city houses en route. ‘ ; The four boxes having been booked at Eastcheap, there was no necessity to rebook them through the Euston parcels _office,.. consequently there is no official record of how many of the number ‘actually reached the London and Northwestern terminus, whence they were sent on to Liverpool by the. 9.20 train for shipment to South Am- erica, , When the money reached Liverpool it was found that one of the four boxes was missing, and information was immediately wired to the con- \‘pignors and to the railway company. Up to the present it is an absolute mystery where the box has disappear- ed.

Of course, there is the very ‘slight possibility that the’ missing $5,000 may turn up amongst some over ook- ed luggage, but fears are entertained that the valuable consignment was watched from Eastcheap by. expert thieves, and that they managed to maye the box while the van atten- dants were engaged in picking up miscellaneous parcels on the way to Euston station.

BOY LOVER’S SUICIDE.

Found Shot After Writing Pathetic ' Letter to Sweetheart. oe

A romantic story hangs round the

determined suicide of George Russam;

a. Birmingham, Eng., youth of 17,

into a place known as the “‘Devil’s Pit.”

Inside ‘his watch. were found three photographs. On the back. of one was written: “I love you; don’t be a flirt like your sister.” : .

Bince Easter, according to his A er, the lad had been flirting with the daughter of a next-door neighbor, but Mr. Russam. disapproved of the at- tachment, and a few days before the tragedy he had given his son a thrash-

ing.

Next day the lad decided to leave home, and actually took lodgings, but he changed his mind and made: peace with his father. ean

Getting up at the usual time, he left home with the intention of going to his employment, but instead he visit- ed his sweetheart, who was ill in bed. After remaining a few minutes he left the girl, and was not seen again by any of his friends. ;

By the last post the same night the girl received a long letter, commenc- ing, “My dearest Nellie,” and con- tinuing: Se ge

“y write you this letter, which will be the last which you or anyone else will receive from me. I cannot stand this any longer, and if my father and mother say that you are to blame it is a lie.”

He hinted that he was about to take his life, and added:

“Perhaps it is for the best that I am gone, as I dare say my parents will be content to know that I am not with you.”

A seven-chambered .revolver was found beside Russam’s body. Five ‘cartridges;,had misfired, byt two of the shots had taken effect,

The hopelessness of. the British pub- lic ever becoming reconciled to the idea of a tunnel. under the Channel moves Mr. Lloyd-George, the Presi- dent of the Board of Trade to advo- eate.a Channel car ferry between Dov- er and Calais.

“BUMPING” THE MAYOR

FUN FAST AND FURIOUS IN-HIS- TORIC TOWN OF DUNSTABLE.

‘Ancient Ceremony of Beating the Bounds—Portly Aldermen: Submit. to Ordeal—New Way’ of Wiping Off Old Scores — Policemen Receive Scant Courtesy—Official Ale Taster

', Gets Busy. fos

The ceremony of “Mayor bomping” ‘ was observed ‘at Dunstable recently, in. connection with the, ancient cus- toms attending thé beating of .the boundaries. Ae ;

Starting from» the Town Hall: im- - mediately after the’ mayoral election, a great crowd, headed by two brass bands, and including the mayor, ald- ermen, and town councillors, with many leading townspeople, proceeded to the nearest point of the boundary.: Here a vast concourse of spectators, from many miles round had -con- gregated.. In the middle of a porte au. declared truly erected. .

The official bellman loudly clanged his-ancient beH for, order, while the Charter was recited; and then ‘the mayor was_seized, and, amid shouts of laughter, soundly bumped‘ on thé top of the post, the bumpers per- forming their task with great zest and relish. ;

Next the aldermen in priority, ac- cording to weight and portliness, were subjected to the.same process, and the fun waxed fast and furious when the inspector of policé and his .ser- geant and men, who were present to keep down undue rowdiness, were un-’ ceremoniously seized and also :sound- ly bumped, theit helmets flying mer- rily during the process.

More Bumps.

Proceeding around the’ boundary, this was repeated at each post, the bellman vigorously ringing for order at the commencement of each ¢ere- mony. This: important official, after very faithfully performing the duties © ot his office until some distancé had been perambulated, was himself seiz- ed, his. bell taken from him meantime, while he was soundly bumped to fix the occasion indelibly on his memory. The bumping was to mark the cor-

poration fight recently brought to conclusion before the. House of Com- mons committee, and the boundary beaters: had not proceeded far before one of the strongest opponents to enlargement of the borough was espied on the outskirts of the crowd. He was chased over plowed furrows, captured, and dragged to the nearest post, where he also was put through the time-honored rite.

After all the leading personages in the procession had been bumped the beaters laid hands upon whoever came near. All the unpopular char- acters in the district who could be caught were chased and seized and bumped. :

~Halfway through the perambula- tion a halt was called while the beat- ers and bumpers were regaled with ale arid bread and cheese.

Before this, however, another im- portant ceremony connected with this ancient manor had to be observed. ‘The official ale taster, a prominent member of the town council, who has himself been mayor and has been bumped, had to tast the ale and pass. it ere the tapsters dared to start on their duty. ' :

Ale Judge Approves. ;

The beaters and bumpers had now ‘become tired and very thirsty, but 7 they had to wait until the: bellman secured order. Then another official’ produced and read the ale taster’s parchment warrant, showing that un- der seal of the lords of the manor he was appointed to see that all ale

sold in the manor was of good quality and assize. There were tremendous cheers

when he solemnly quaffed a tankard and pronounced the® beverage good. After-this the barrels were quickly emptied, and fortified with much good ale the bumpers renewed their task . with great vigor, and no boundary post was passed before it had been the object point of punishment. for many victims. :

The whole ceremony was, however, taken in good part by all, and there was no regrettable fracas to mar the proceedings. > R

In the evening the mayor and cor-

ration, with many -visiters, dined Pecesily and well to celebrate the day’s successful proceedings.

nstable is an ancient manor, dating from the days of Henry I., who gave it its first. charter. | The charter and mayoralty were “‘acquir- ed”’ by the prior and canons of his- toric Dunstable Priory, and held many _ years by them. Afterwards the char- ter lapsed, and the manof reverted tu the crown, Next the corporation purchased the manorial rights from ‘the late: Queen Victoria, who granted a fresh. charter.

The falling from the tower of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, of the halfton weight which supplies the motor power.for the bells, owing to the snapping of, the steel rope con- necting it with the ¢arillons,. will ré- call an afividnt’ mishap to this fabric.

It is not, perhaps, generally known that, Dublin is the.only city with the exception of ‘Salamanca, in which two cathedrals—Christ Church and St. .Patrick’s—which both belong to the Protestant Church are in the ossession of one and the same ~re- igious communion. Christ Church abounds with historic memories: It: possesses the heart of St. Laurence O’Toole, the great Archbishop of Dub- lin, whichis preserved in a casket. It was in olden times a favorite place for the meeting of the Irish Parlia- ment, and in a Parliament holden in

Simnel was sub- sequently captured by Henry VII., made a scullion in the King’s kitchen, .and eventually advanced to the rank of a faleoner. It was in Christ Church ’Cathedral that ‘the services of. the Catholic’ Church were held for the last time in a church belonging to the -English Church Establishment. Dur- ing the stay of James-II. in Dublin, in 1649, Catholic services were held ' in Christ Church, and the altar, the candlesticks, and the tabernacle then veod are still. preserved in the Ca- thedral. At a later period it was from the pulnit of Christ Church Ca- thedral that the violation of the Treaty of Limerick was first recommended. Dr. Dovping .the . Protestant Bishop

“Indeed, I may go so far as to say that in the search for truth—as I hope it was—and of legitimate knowledge, a Saar I was brought to a knowledge of con- Arbiter and Arbitrary.

If an arbitrator is chosen to ‘end a dispute, says the London Chronicle, there is no reason to dread that his de~ cision would be arbitrary, though the two words are very near relatives. An arbiter, the Latin word which used to be more common as English than it is now, meant by derivation simply “one who went to” something to ex- ‘amine it, and so at first a spectator or witness, Then in Roman law it assum- ed the technical sense of an umpire. But a “judicum,” the legal decision in a case with regard to a definite sum of’money, for instance, was distin- guished from an.arbitrium, a legal decision as to an uncertain sum which had to be determined; hence arbitrary ‘acquiréd the sense of uncertain, ¢a- pricious. ; .

In Lombard street, famons all the world over as the little narrow street of banks and bankers, the recent fin- encial fluctuations have-caused quite

S4 years ao flutter, and’ nowhere have the rise of. prae rewane Shiloh’s Cure. 25e,, | and fall in stocks been felt more keen-

Aa book. Sitting at the desks of the clearing house are clerks belonging ' ‘to all the banks interested:- Ta the morning each clerk finds on his desk a pile of cheoks drawn vpon his bank, and the amounts are checked. When this laborious process is finished the clerks ofthe. different banks return to their headquarters.

The busiest time of the day (dur- dng which there are three clearings) comes just before four o’clock, when the “runners” rush in at the last mo- ment with brndles. of checks, to be examined. Then comes the heav task of arriving at a balance. ' Al- though nearly a hundred million pounds -has- been, known to pass through the clearing house in the course of the day not a single farthing of it is in coin.

For the genesis of the clearing honse you must go back-to the year 1775, when a Mr. Irving, a. clerk to Messrs, Fuller, suggested that a room should be hired where clerks. from various banks could meet for the pur- pose of. exchange. he ground floor of No. 7 Lombard street was chosen for the purpose, but with an increase of business the cleoring house- was removed in. the year 1814 to No. 2 Lombard street. The joint stock banks were not -admittéd until the year 1854, but even now. all the metropolitan: institutions are not represented ‘at the clearing house, and owing to the consolidation of the banking system of recent years the number of clear- ing banks represented is not more than eighteen. The bankers’ bank is the Bank of England. Until a few years ago four private banks owned the clearing house. pany has been formed, an equal num- ber of shares being held by the banks concerned. :

The tremendous increase in the clearing house transactions is exem- plified by the following figures:

This scene of city. bustle and ex-

the ‘afternoon you can get a glimpse of the clerks béhind: the swinging doors bending over their desks at high pressure. The ‘‘clearers” and the “runners” are hustling and some- times wrangling together. ° But the whole system works as accurately as a machine, and often a million of money is interchanged in the space of a few minutes. : :

Music. For Prisoners. . The’ inmates. of Wandsworth Pris- on, numbering over 1,000, have just had an experience. which they. are not likely to forget. The Brixton Oratorio. Choir, consisting of 70 trained voices, visited the prison and sang fort them selections from “St. Paul” and “‘Eli- jah.”” Mss Evelyn Wynne also gave ner servicés, as did a professional in- strumental quartette. It was a won- derful sight to see prisoners ‘listening, straining forward to catch every note and: word. The governor said there never had ‘been such silence. The men. almost seemed glued to their seats. It was last winter that the suggestion was ‘made by Rev, A. J. Waldron, vicar of. Brixton, that the choir should visit. metropolitan pris- ons, and consent ‘was first obtained: -for the choir to visit Brixton Prison. On‘ that occasion the, chaplain of ‘the prison ‘said the prisoners had never been so moved before. Prisoners who had before: rebelled against all dis- cipline’ and had maintained a stub- born demeanor were-entirely softened. In the infirmary were several pris- oners who were unable to be present, but who heard the music through the open windows. One old man said it seemed as if suddenly heaven had come to the prison. e warders, at prisons are eloquent in their praise of the innovation, and say it hag brought a new hope inta the whole prison world. tare

How Swell Women Dress. Justice Grantham, at the Sussex Assizes, indulged in some sree, Se marks regarding the way in which “swell ladies of the land,” as he term- ed them, defrauded poor tradespeople. “It was time,” said the -learned | judge, ‘that: many ladies who dressed

80 expensively were made to realize |-

that they could not defraud. trades- people .with contempt, and that by making false statements in order to obtain what they uired they could be sent to prison. If this was more fully realized it would put a stop to a lot-of false credit. Great advan- tages were taken by swell ladies of. poor tradespeople. They went to vari- ous sheps and ordered grand and ex- pensive costumes for which they nev- | er intended to: pay; consequently many poor tradespepole were abso- lutely robbed.” by ;
