In a vault of the largest safe deposit company ‘In the country, situated in lower Broadway, is great safe that is entirely iled with articles left in the vaults and private: business apartments of the company by depositors who consider themselves the most careful people alive, and who pay largely for the very security they do not avail themselves of. The contents of this safe are watches, diamonds, coupons, bonds, and a large amount of personal property, all of which has been picked up In the vaults and rooms of the company after depositors have left. “Most of the property that we find in this way,” said the president of the company to a Times reporter, “is returned immediately, and this safe contains only articles whose owners we are unable to find after a most thorough search. If all the property that is left about here by depositors were unclaimed. we should have to extend our vaults to store it. and a pe- culiar phase of the business is that when a man loses a thing here, or leaves it out of his safe, | he will never believe that it was lost here. He | is so certain that his caution would never desert him, in a sate deposit yault of all places, that we have great difficulty in making him believe that we have got his missing property on some T have seen so many articles lost. in laced among’ other propert: that I never believe a thing 1s lost until it found again. Only a short time ago, a youny | lady who reats a safe in our vaults sent a mes- senger to say that she had lost a number of bonds of the denomination of $1,000 each, and | she wished to know if it could be possible that | she had left them in the little room where she had cut off the coupons on her last visit. ‘They had not been found in the room, but I sent word | to her not to. worry, that she ‘would probably find them ia the safe among her other papers. She came down the next day and said that she had looked through the safe several times for the bonds, and knew they were not there; she must have lost them in_ the street, or they had been stolen from the house. I advised her to | look again, and sure enough she found the miss- ing bonds among some others of a different de- nomination. About a year ago the president of awell-known Insurance company, who nas a | safe here, came in to put away some property, | and when he went away he lett $100,000 worth of negotiable bondson the top of the step-ladder he used to climb up to the drawer. We at once sent for him, and could hardly make him be- j Heve that he had left his property about so care- | Tess | “A rather pecuhar incident of the same na- ture ocenrred with a broker. He left a_ number of valuable papers on a table in one of the little | rooms, where he had taken a drawer from his | safe to sort the contents. On his way out he stopped a moment with the treasurer.and one of our attendants came after hin,and told him that | he had lett part of his property out of his safe. |The broker laughed him to scorn. ‘Do you | think I'm a copper-plated idiot?’ he said. t got so many Valuables that I'm going to any of them around. Those papers belong | to somebody else.” ‘There has not been ai body else In that room since you left it,’ replied the man, ‘and it wassearched before you went: | into it. “If youll come back here you'll tind the | papers just “as you left them on the table.” Th broker wanted to bet that he had put every scrap of paper in the safe that he took out of it, | and he finally went and looked into the drawer | just to show us that he had. His face fell, and | he was about as chop-fallen a man as I ever saw. However, he took the drawer back into the | room to yet the papers he had jeft and put them ; init. Five minutes afterward he passed me on the way out, and said: ‘Well, you've got one on | ine this time, but if you ever find anything more of mine in any of these rooms you can keep it.’ He had hardly left the building when the same attendant ran from the yault and sald: ‘Where's Mr. B.? He's left a lot of bonds in the same | room.’ I sent over to the broker's office for | him to come and put his property away, but he was so sure I was trying to play some kind of a Joke on him that he wouldn't respond. So I took care of the bonds and gave them to him the next morning, and witat a foolish lookin; man he was when he went away from here. He said he was going to get a commission | appointed to find out if he was sane. However, all the trouble with him was that he was too careful. Inever knew a care leave anything around here; { | very carefui and methodic: } enough to under man, and it ise stand the reason. A carel | man picks up everything at once and throws it tohis box. and gives a hurried glance around see if he has dropped anything. A methodi- al man knowsjust where he is going to put ach envelope and package, and in just what “der they go into his box. Then, if by any | chance he misses theroutine and puts the wron article he never thinksof the parcel or packas skipped, and goes away with : y the consciousness that everything is all right and that he is making a fortine by being careful. “A few weeks ago a well-known b man reported that some bonds had_been taken from his box m one of our vaults. We told him that | that was impossible, and he said he could not | account for them in any other way. He remem- bered distinetly putting them in the safe, but spite of hi y, he kad t tion ef inves is office desk and s all his premise making any com As the result, he said he was certain that 5 | body had in some way managed to obtain | cess to his drawer in our vault. 1 asked himto | look through the drawer once more, but he si he had examined it thoroughly a dozen ti and shaken out every paper in it, throuzh every envelope. He becan indignant when I of bonds were in his safe, and began to talk so | loud as to attract attention, und to make} threats of a suit against us.’ I told him to | look through the box again, and, if he did not find the securities, then it would be my privi- lege, according to the rules of the company, to have the box searched in my presence. After a great deal of persuasion he consented to take the drawer into one of the rooms and search again. When he came out he was a changed man. He very humbly put the drawer back in its place and started for the door without say- ing a word. [called him back, and he con- fessed that he had found the bonds in an en- velope where he had slipped them by mistake. Occurrences of this nature happen every day, and, as { said before. I_ never believe anything is lost when a man comes and tells me that he can't fiud some of the property he has left in his safe. “We have difficulty sometimes in finding of very valuable property that has been z around here. Some years ago a man ),000 worth of railroad bonds in one of nd_as it was not called for in a few No one responded for plaint. me- | very | red to wager that the | s the rooms, days we advertised it. several wecks, and we tried to find out through the railroad who owned the bonds. We failed, as they could not be traced trom the original buyer, and six montis afterward the owner ap- plied for them. He had seen the advertisement in the papers, and wondered who was fool enough to leave his property around that wa but was so certain that his bonds, although | they answered the description perfectly, were | safe in his strong-box where he had left them, that he never even took the trouble to examine the box to s We are continually finding cou- pons that have been cut trom bondsin the rooms. Only a short time ago I fished $1,000 worth out of the cuspadore that had been thrown away in anenvelope. The owner afterward told me that he addressed the envelope wrongly and so had to use another. He thought he put the coupons in this envelope, and so he threw the other away and put the empty one in his pocket. “Another phase of the safe deposit business is the number ot persons who go away and leaye their property in their safes. We have about 15 safes in our vaults whose owners cannot be found. One of them has not been here for ten years, and we have made great efforts to find him. We traced him to Montreal and then to Ottawa, and finally lost track of him in San Francisco. We do not open the safes that are left in thismanner, if the owner should never come back, but 1 would not be at all surprised to see the ten-year absentee come in any day. One of the safe deposit companies tried to get a bill through the legislature last year providing that when a safe had been left fortwo years the company could break it open, and after holding it another year and advertising it six months sell the tf contents at auction. The attempt failed, but if such a law had been passed we should continue to hold our safes inviolate for any length of time.” A depositor in the large safe deposit compa- nies obtains almost as many-privileges when Te Tents a safe as he would at’ a first-class club. There are reading rooms and libraries, where are the daily papers and pens and ink; there are coat rooms, where he can leave his umbrella or coat; private apartments where he can trangact business or write letters, and a post office where he can receive his mail. For the ladies there are elegant reception rooms, where they may leave their parcels while shopping, or look over the magazines while waiting for their husbands or friends. A billiard room, a card room, and a buffet are, perhaps, the only additions an old club man would suggest to convert one of these places into a popular resort, $e _ Perhaps. a more extraordinary suicide was never heard of than that which is reported from Venice.

From the New York Tribune, Crxcrynati, Dec. 2.—South Cumminsville, a suburo, of this city, has had to-day for its chief topic of conversation the killing of his son by James Boyd, a short report of which was sent to the Tribune last night. Boyd isa huckster, and is about fifty years of age. The youth, whose name was Alfred, and whose age was seventeen, had been in the habit of assisting his father until within a month, when bad associates persuaded him to “‘go on a bum with them,” as he expressed it. He left home, and his parents have not known where his time was spent. Occasionally his father would see him, but the boy would ran trom him and shout back tanta- lizing remarks at him. Such action greatly ex- asperated the father, but the boy was too smart to fall into his hands. Several times the boy broke into the house which he sold at the pawnshops: Friday after- noon the boy was seen playing marbles near his home. Boyd pointed him out to his wife and said, “I'll take the revolver with me this time, and if I can’t catch him I'll seare him with it.” He took the revolver and started toward the boy, who took to his heels and was soon around the corner. This afternoon the boy was seen playing marbles in the same place again, and the father started toward him, revolver in hand. For some reason the boy did not run, but allowed his father to get hold of him. Boyd dragged the boy toward the house, holding the revolver Inone hand. At the gate they were met by the mother, who begged the husband not to kurt Alfred. He paid no attention to her. She fol- lowed them toward the door, begging Boyd kitchen door she fell in a faint. boy passed in, and a moment later a shot was heard. The neighbors ran to the house and found the boy lying on the floor with a bullet hole in his breast, and the mother still lying in @ swoon outside. Boyd says the weapon went off by accident. It 18 not a self-cocker, how- } ever, and that could hardly be. Heis half crazy with grief. When the police appeared he lev- eled his revolver at them, but was persuaded to | put it up. There were no witnesses of the | shooting. YER'S PILLS ARE A CONVENIENT REMEDY | *% to have always at hand. They are suxar-coated, | easy to take, effective to operate, sure to bring relief and cure.
