Ty 0 New Vien of Lan Swindling By Daplicete Drait, Boston Special Chicago Tribune: A new scheme to defraud the banking houses of this community has’ been dis- covered threugh the officials of the Massachusetts National bank. The Of- ficials are assisting the police in this country and those of the Scotland Yard force in unraveiing the matter. The manner in which it is worked is as fol- lows: A man enters a bank and pur- chases a draft, at’ the same time tell- ing the cashier that he is going abroad and would like to have a duplicate draw: He t: both of the drafts away, and the original is either taken or sent to Eurcpe by the swindler. Some bark in London cashes the origi- hal draft, and the Auplicate is cashed ome uasuspecting ndlers ned by person. In is double their money. the Massachv ts N al bank was uced by cne of the ndlers to secure $2,000 from a bank in Swi man who had the transaction y local bank told the cashier that he was going abroad and thet he would iike to have the drafts in two parts, He pur- chased two drafts of $1.000 each. These were drawn cn a London bank, Re- cently word was received from London that one of the drafiy marked duph- cate had been cashed there. A few days ago a letter was received from a banking house in switzerland, stating that it had eazehed the original draft for the party to whom Miller had in- dorsed it. The cashier of the Massachu- setts Nationa wrote to a bank- ing house in , N. Y., and asked that institution to look up a man giv- ing the name of J, P. Miller, who had bought the draft in March. The banx- ing house replied that it found three people of that name, ail reputable bus- iness men. No one of the three an- swered the description of the Miller who bought the drafts. The Switzer- land bank will be the loser in this case, as the person who cashed the dvaft should have demarded the dupli- eate as well as the original before cash- Ing it. An Interesting Discovery. An interesting discover. has reward- e2 the researches of oficials at Hamp- ton Court palace, London. There has lurked a suspicion that the of the famous Queen Arne’s hich is in the center cf Wren'’s famous building, contained more than the sec- ond rate portraits of tho Georges. Never however, was it suppesed than an im- portent work by that once famous dec- orative artist, Verrio, had been con- cealed from the public eye since 1725. owing to.a stupendous act of vandal- ism, which, it is presumed, wes car- riel out by Qusen Caroline in 1735, probably to prevent the «pothesis of Queen Anne from mecetirgker cyes in her drawing room when she bedtime queen. The date is known by the ex~ traordinary act of the paper hanger of that time, who, in covering up Verrio's work, scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging. In taking down some of the portraits of the Georges, which were intended for Ken- sington palace, it was noticed by an official that the tep right hand corner closed to the ceiling seemed abruptly cut off from the gencra! scheme of the beautiful ceiling, which everyone had ssen and admired, and which repre- sented Queen Anne in the chariot of Justice, dressed in nurple lined wi ermine, Over her head is a crov held by Neptune and Britannia, w surrounding and ficating in the clouds are various allegorical figures repre- senting Peace anf Plenty, etc. The discovery now made shows that the whole of the walls were originally painted by Verrio in the same manner, the subject being Queen Anne's apotheosis as Queen cf the Sea in the four great quarters of the globe. a drawing room, w of the east wi Heir to $500,000, Rovert E. M. Cooper, formerly a prominent newspaper man and politi- cian, has fallen heir to $500,000. The estate was left to Cooper by John C. Crego, a miser hermit, who recently died at Cripple Creek. Years ago Crego lived in the Panhandle country of Texas. Cooper made a tour of that regicn. Crezgo was not inclined to make acquaintances, but Cooper found him about to drown ina river and risked his own life to save the miser. That resulted in a friendship. Cooper ceturned to Springfield, Mo., and he- tame prominent. He kept up a cor- respondence with Crego for some years but they finally lost track of each other. Crego left Texas and was a pioneer prospector at Cripple Creek. He cleaned up $500,000°and quit. There- after he lived in absolute seclusion. So far as he knew Cooper was still in Springfield, and a few days before he died he sent for Justice Martin, and a will was drawn up leaving everything to Cooper. Willing to Pay. Among the prettiest of literary anec dotes is that related by William Grimm one of the pair of famous story-tellers One day a little girl rang the bell, an: greeted the author with the words: “Are you Mr. Grimm who writes th: pretty tales?” “Yes,” was the answer. brother.” “And the storf about that clever lir tie tailor who married the princess?” “Yes, certainly.” “We' said the child, gravely pra- @ucing the book, “it says here that ev: ery one who doesn’t believe the stors must pcy a thaler. Now, I don't beiier¢ that a princess ever married a tuilor. T haven’t so uch as a thaler, but here is a groschen, and please say I hope to pay the rest by degrees.” Just thea Jacob Grimm appeared, and the two brothers had an interesting interview with the little maid, but they could not persuade her to take away the gros- chen, which she laid upon the table, “I and 22) DULUTH, SOUTH: SHORE & ATLANTIC RY. \OTHE' STRAIGHT = AWAY: Line BETWEEN THE GREAT NORTHWEST 4"? rae REMAROUETTESMICH WITH THE EAST.

What is known as senatorial resoly- tion 83, otherwise “the Chandler amendment,” proposes an alteration im the federal constitution, which in or- der to become effective must secure (as ft is generally believed that it will) the assent of the legislatures of two- thirds of the states. There are now forty-five states, and the assent of two- thirds means the approval of thirty, a larger number than there were in the whole country fifty years ago, when, in May, 1848, the proposition to admit Wisconsin as a state was passed upon favorably, the number previously to that time being twenty-nine. The pro- posed constitutional amendment makes —beginning 1901, following the next presidential election—April 20, instead of March 4, the inauguration day. It is a peculiar circumstance, which stu- dents of American history have nat failed to observe, that while the pro- visions of the constitution regarding the method of choice of the president are somewhat vague and indefinite, the provision, which is article XII of the amendments, for the inauguration of the president cn “the 4th day of March next following the election” is explicit. As to the choice of president, it is pro- vided only that each state shall ap- point, “in such manner as the legis- lature thereof may direct,” a number of electors equal to the total number of congressmen allotted it, senators and representatives. There may be @ popular vote for these electors, as in most states there {s, but this is not ob- ligatory. The legislature itself may choose the electors, without the inter- vention of the voters, except in so far as this action is prohibiged by state constitutions. In some statcs at pres- ent (Colorado conspicuously) women vote for presidential electors on the same terms as men, and in some states even aliens, not yet citizens of the United States, participate in such choice of electors. While this branch of the matter of presidential elections is left without any general rule, the time for inaugurating the president is @ part of the organic law of the coun- try, and can not be altered except by formal change in the constitution, as is now proposed. It is a somewhat curious fact, too, in connection with this agitation for a change, that April 30 was originally the inauguration day. George Washington, the first president, was inaugurated in New York city on April 30, 1789. The second inaugural in Washington, however, was on March 4, 1793, and the twelfth article of the amendments, which prescribes March 4 as the date, was proposed in the first session of the English con- gress, and was adopted on Sept. 25, 1804. The reasons now advanced for fts change to the original date are chiefly meteorological and based upon the weather conditions, which are most unsatisfactory and even dangerous in the city of Washington in early March. Incidental to the inauguration of a president there are, of course, many changes in the federal administration, though these are fewer than heretofore, of which he is the chief. Thousands of sightseers are drawn to the national capital at this period, along with those whose presence is required, or, if not always required, is certainly desired, and it is believed generally, and the weather conditions in Washington fa- vor this view, that April 30 would be a more appropriate time for such obser- vations and festivities as the inaugur- ation of a president. Against the choice of this date, however, is one ob- jection, which, though not urged in the senate, is likely to be brought up for consideration in the various states. It is this: The president is voted for on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. From that time until his inauguration four months elapse—four months of uncertainty, in- definiteness, negotiation and active po- litical rivalry. During these four months the outgoing administration ig practically heipless to enunciate any policy or to carry out any plans. These devolve upon its successor. The pro- posed constitutional amendment would add to this period of uncertainty near- ly two months, and it is a question whether the more desirable condition of the Washington uncertain climate at the end of April compared with what it is at the beginning of March wouid justify a change, adding nearly two months of uncertainty and dissatisfa~ tion for the great body of American electors, who, While participants In the ~-tier, take, and seem to desire to -o overt part in the formality ecurating tie presidept,
