ACCOUNTS VERIFIED IN SECRET.
A. Efstnra of Unit tare* Performed by Pub
lic Accountant* After Durr..
In ninny n business oQlco thcro is trans
acted a business nt night of which nono of
tho employees Is aware. It is tho Audit
ing of books, a feftturo of work performed
by sovcrnl well known puhllo accountants.
Of coursa In tho majority of suoh oases
tho partnors In tho concern have had sonio
reason to suspect some of tho oitloo foroo
of dlshonost practDo. At times, however,
ono pnrtnor may suspoot another, or somo
reason may arise where tho firm desire to
ascertain their standing at an unusual
time of tho yoar and without Us being
known to tho bookkeeper.
"It la by no means an unusual feature
of my work," sold a well known public
accountant, in ■peaking about the matter
recently. "Many a time, when a largo
mercantile house has eloeed for tho night
and everybody has gono home, ruy men
have entered tho store, taken tho books
from Ihn safe and worked over them until
daybreak.
“In such cases they never touch a pen
or pencil to tho books. They merely veri
fy thotlgurcs and transorlbo tho entries on
paper. Tho result of each man’s work Is
kept by Itaelf and turned over to another
person In my office, who obtains tho ffnnl
results. Every rare is taken In handling
tho hooks and replacing them in tho safe
to give no grounds for suspicion of what
Is going on.
“No doubt many a book keeper and cash
ier In this cRy would bo surprised to peep
into bis offleo at night and find a force of
ruon working over the books ns familiarly
os ho and his fellow clerks have boon do
ing In the daytime for years. Tho night
fore© speedily become acquainted with the
names of customers and the pages of the
ledger accounts, turning to them without
rofrrenee to the index, like old hands.
“Sometimes, of course, the fact of our
working at night over tho books never
becomes known to the oierks. If tho ao-
counts are found straight, thorn is no rea
son to let thorn know they have been sus-
pooled. At other times they discover that
their llgures have been overhauled when
confronted with tho unmistakable evi
dence in figures of their false entries."-—

TOTHE STAGESTRUCK
ADVICE CONTAINED IN THE EXPERI
ENCE OF AN ACTRESS.
Trials sod Tribulation of Twenty-four
Honrs With a One Night Stood Com-
pony—€heorloss Waiting Booms, Delay
ed Train# and Wretehed Hotels.
Isn’t it odd how many people are stage-
struck? More than half of my acquaint-
anoes hate voluntarily confessed the soft
Impeachment, among their number two
clergymen and a snowy haired state sena
tor. No doubt their imaginations picture
(mine did) a joyous vision of triumphs in
which wealth, fame, laurel wreaths, etc.,
are jumbled in artistic and cloudy confu
sion. The reality is different. Looking
backward—-I won’t say how long—I boo
only a never ending perspective of railway
coaches, sleeping cat's and one night
stands.
Picture to yourself tho bare walls, the
hard benches of the llttlo railway station,
the solitary kcroseno lamp, that smells to
heaven, hung at tho far end just by tho
tlckot office, tho sheet iron stove in tho
centcrof tho room—rodbot if tho weather
is warm, atone cold if a blizzard is in prog
ress without— the oloso stiffing atmosphere
of tho place, tho “Jays f " as tho comedian
dubs them, lounging around chewing to-
baoco to the )*6t man, expectorating at,
on snd around tho cuspidor as though it
was somo now kind of target, but never,
oh, never, making a bullsoyu.
You enter this oharmlng place to await
the train which carries you to the next
ono night stand. You have rushed from
tho theater after packing your trank in a
jiffy, locked it three separate times, only
to find an important article of your ward
robe left out each time, your faco covered
with a thick voll to hldo tho makeup you
nave not tlmo to remove, for the stage
mnnagor has notified tho company, one
and All, that tho train leaves at 11:16 p.
m. As tho curtain falls at a quarter to
11, you have just 80 minutes to change
your costumo, puck your trunk and get to
tho station.
Of course you burry for all you nre
worth—It Is 200 miles to tho noxt town,
and if you get left you pay your own fare.
A long welt. Will that train never
come? Tho click, click of tho telegraph
Is board in tho ticket offleo, and shortly
after our agent announces In tones tho re
verse of cheerful:
“Our train is two hours late, and we
shall most likely miss connections at tho
next junction."
In duo time—6:CO—wo arrive at tho
junction, only to find our train gono and
over five hours to wait till the next ono
nrrlvdff.--.We Interview tho station master
and aro Informed that there is a very good
hotel In tho jwfi—tho Pickwick Houso.
Tho town a inllo or more from tho
dopot. Tho gentlemen of tho company an
nounce'thoir Intention of walking, but
tho “old mar." declared ho preferred to
dlo whero he was. Aftor a struggle a
covered wag^n with scats was procured,
and the lndk , accompanied by the afore
said o. m., who consented to llvo a llttlo
longer, jolted morrlly away.
To say wo were tired and hungry but
feebly oxprce«:s our condition. Howovor,
tho prospect of breakfast and a bed for a
low hours* Inclined us all to treat tho
affair as a joko.
Mlno host of tho Plokwiok, who root us
at the door, bowing, smiling and rubbing
his hands, ushered us Into tho offleo,
whero the omnipxcsont sheet iron stove
flourished. A few wooden chairs,' a small
desk and a very Iutro cuspidoi completed
tho furniture. Across one end of tho room
was a partition about seven feet high,
from behind which came a nuspioioua
clatter of dishes. Wo lookod at eaoh other
In dismay. What had wo struck?
Just thou the agontcamo forward. "La
dles, I’m very sorry, but you’ll havo to
double up. There aro only two roomB
available. Tho gentlemen will havo to
6locp In tho chairs."
This was tho last drop in my cup of blt-
tornesff. I knew tho leading lady would
chum with tho soubrotte, and the “old
woman" fall to my share—and she snored.
“Well, show us tho rooms. Lot us rake
tho o! odors from our hair and* remove
somo of tho railroad soot from our faces—
that at least would bo something," we
said.
The landlord turned hlf whole battery
of bows and smiles upon us. “Wouldn’t
wo take breakfast first? It was ready,
and"—
“No, wo would not,” we unanimously
infonnod him. Wash up first we must
and would, breakfast or no breakfast
“Show us the rooms at onoe."
“Impossible! They woro not made up
yet. It we would breakfast"—
“No, no"—this from tho old woman,
who did nil tho talklug. "Show us tin
room# and send tho chambermaid ai
“Again lmposslblo"—more bows and
smiles. * ‘ Help was soaroe and hard to kocp,
and—well, to tell tho truth, tho chamber
maid was also waitress and could not
leave the dining room till breokfust was
over."
In desperation X takoa hand. "Then
we’ll do up t' v rooms ourselves, only, for
goodness sake, let's gel to them."
This time no bows or smiles. Instead
a dogged look of determination. The
landlord was In bis last ditch. He was
sorry not to oblige the ladles, but tho
guests who were at present occupying the
rooms were not up jet.
Tho dining room was behind the parti
tion, and the odor of stale tobacco floated
over It uud mingled with the menu, whlob
consisted of tough steak, eggs that any
self respecting hen would unhesitatingly
disown, very queer broad that some ono
said was adulterated with bone dust, cot
tonseed butter and ooffoe that tho come
dian declared whs of the "bootleg varie
ty, *' whatever that may bo.
After this repast we ooolod our heels in
the offloe until the ohaiubermald conde
scended to let us go to our rooms—cham
bers of horror as they proved. We were
tailed at half past 11 and rode back to tho
/tation In tho ark on wheels. This tlmo
wo got tho train and arrived at our noxt ouo
night stand just in tlmo to get supper and
rush to the theater, go trough the per
formance and leave town after it again.
This Is tho record of 24 hours ou tbo
road. Do you wonder that ono night
•tends are a bugbear to theatrical folk?—

POPUU8M ITS PLATFORM.
Editor Betwtt f Start a National Fs»
pie’s Forty Fapar fa Chisago.
Fremont Ogden Bennett believes thi
time is ripe for a great national People’*
Party paper, and
be will endeavoi
to establish ouch a
paper in Chicago.
The name of th«
proposed journal
is The Age, and
its founder has
had some 18 years’
experience in Chi
cago journalism.
His first newspa
per work was
done under the
watchful eye of
tho late Samuel
Medill of tbo Chi
cago Tribune, and
TBEMOVTO. BENNETT, bis early writings,
which were of a humorous charactor, at
tracted much attention and were widely
copied by the press of the country. , After
several years of hard work on tho leading
Chicago dallies Mr. Bennett succeeded
Robert P. Porter of national census fame
as editor of tho Rockford (Ills.) Gazette.
Ho returned to Chicago in a short time,
and at different times'occupied positions of
high responsibility on The Inter Ocoun,
Daily News, Dally Telegraph and Record.
Iu 1882 Mr. Bennett branched out In
the newspaper business for himself and
founded the Chicago Mall, which is still
successfully published, and which he con
ducted through tbo first three years of its
existence—years that aro usually tho mak
ing or the breaking time of most now jour
nalistic ventures. a Upon severing his rela
tions with Tho Mall Mr. Bennett spent a
year in travel, contributing descriptive, po
litical and general correspondence to somo
of tho leading newspapers of tho United
States. Shortly after the Haymarket riot
Bennett published a history of the rise of
anarchy in Chicago, and tho hook had a
very large salo. Ho la also the author of a
political history entitled “Politics and
Politicians of Illinois."
Doting tho Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy strlko Mr. Bennett was in thor
ough sympathy with the strikers and Is
sued Tho Sunday World, which oham-
ploncd their cause and was afterward
merged into Tho Daily Globe, of which
Bennett was editor for a time.
About four years ago Mr. Bennett was
sent to West Superior, Wls., to expose cer
tain city and county offleors that were ac
cused of corruption. Bennett conducted a
lively campaign against them and dls-
phiyeil rare general oh ip. Ton days beforo
election tho men ho was fighting sllencdd
his paper by buying a controlling interest
in tho 6tock from a number of stockhold
ers, but at 12 hours’ notice Bennett had
another paper on tho street, which contin
ued tho campaign and won it. Bennett Is
a firm friend of trade unionism and a
Blanch believer in the principles of th
party whose cause Tho Ago will champion.
A Double Catch.
A farmer nmned Sam Jones set n trap
for a fox in a clearing lu Scabury Settle
ment, N. Y., and wheu he went to seo if
ho had caught anything ho found that tho
trap was gono, notwithstanding It had
been scoured by a chain and a heavy sta
ple drlvon into a log. The chain had been
broken off, and fox tracks led away, leav
ing a tolerably plain trail In the dead
leaves. The trail Jones followed until ho
reached a small opening some dozens of
rods away, whore, on the moss, lay his
fox, dead and holding fast by tho throat
with its Jaws a dead eagle. Tho euglo In
sailing over t**o woods had spied tho fox In
tho trap and had swooped down upon it,
but tho fox, although cripplod by the trap,
had made a gallant fight and had killed
his assailant whilo yielding up his own
life.—Exchange.

of a miner ‘was about what she wanted.
So «ho went to Tucson, where 6he began

Her brother James was a mlhoraloglst
and foreman of a big mine, and under his
tuition she soon became an expert. Then
she began following tho mining camps,
and whenever a new strike was made she
was sure to be tho first woman at the
scene. When tho rush to Harqua Hala be

a very short time, sho wa3 the sole repre

She is a tall, brown haired, dark eyed
girl of about 26 years, and ber figure is
somewhat angular. When prospecting,
sho wears heavy shoes and bloomers. That

slio.wn by tho fact that she usually starts
a restaurant in a now camp, places It in
tho hands of servants competent to look
after tho dctAlla, and then sallies forth to
secure town lots, lode claims and placer
sites, which sho often disposes of at a
handsome profit. Miners arc proverbially
superstitious, and many of them bellovo
that sho is a mascot. They pay well for
her shrewd, technically correct opinion of
ore, and many thousands of dollars have
changed hands as tho result of her prog
nostications. One man, relying upon her
opinions that two of his mines would not
long continue to pay a profit, sold them
for $15,000, and her prediotion proved well

cost. Other mines have been bought upon
her advice, and rich leads havo been struck

In Tombstone the miners would bet on

CONSUL JEWETT OF 8IVAS.
He Was Born In Turkey and Knows the
Terrible Turk at His Wont.
The ordinary United States consul re
ceives his appointment, performs the
duties of his office, draws hla salary and
returns home after bis term expiree with
out having attracted any particular atten
tion unless somo International compiles-

tlons make him for the moment a man of
prominence. Such complications recently
caused the public gase to be directed to
ward Milo A. Jewett, United States oon
sul at divas, Turkey. When the massacre
of the Armenian Christians sent a ah udder
•round the world, Turkey naked the Unit
ed States to send a delegate to act with
U*e Eurepean eomjplsg^gs, prho, under
the provisions' of tho Berlin treaty, were
empowered to look after the welfare of
Christians in Turkey. Tho United States
declined at first to send a delegate, but afc
the urgent representations of Great Britain
that in the Interests of justice tho United
States should bo represented President
Cleveland directed Consul Jewett to ac
company th*' mixed commission of thn
powers, investigate the alleged outrages
in Armenia independently and mako an
independent report.
Since then there has been a good deal of
discussion as to tho propriety of this course,
and rumors havo been circulated to tlie
effect that tho porte would declino to per
mit Consul Jewett to participate in tho
investigation as an independent commis
sioner. It is probable, however, that tlio
consul will not encounter much opposition
in carrying out the instructions he has re
ceived from Washington. Consul Jqwott
was born in 8!vns 88 years ago. Ho is a
eon of Dr. Fayette Jewett, who for ten
years was a medical missionary at Sivas
under tho American board. Early in life
he c&me to t ho United States and wna
educated in Massachusetts. JIo is a grad
uate of tho Harvard medical school and in
1893 was appointed consul at Sivas to suc
ceed his brother, Henry M. Jewett, who
is now doing newspaper work in Ever etc,
Mass..
Consul Jewett had not long been in tho
consular harness beforo the American col
ony at Marsivan was swept away by an
incendiary fire. Ho made on Investiga
tion that caused almost as much commo
tion in local Turkish pollco circles as tho
Loxow investigation In New York city.
Jewett demonstrated that t’uo outrage was
winked ut by tho Turkish chief of polico
and lloutcnant governor in Mursivnn and
so reported to his superiors in Washing
ton. Tho result was that, owing to Undo
Sam’s demands, tho lieutenant governor
received his walking papors, tho chief of
police wns sunt Into exile and the Turkish
government pnld tho United States a sub
stantial Indemnity. Another result was
■ uin* Consul Jewett was socially ostracized
In Sivas, and his life In Turkey sinco then
has not been particularly enjoyable.
A POKER SUPERSTITION.
Jack* Foil on Bed Sevens n Hand That
Make* Peoplo Shiver.
The superstition of gamblers la well il
lustrated by the following story of tho fa
tal hand: A stranger was watching a gamo
of poker once at Helena, Mon. The play
ers were a gam blor (whom I knew slightly,
snd who bore the sobrlqint of “Lucky
BUI") and two miners. Suddenly, after
the hands were dealt and tho playors had
“chipped in" and drawn cards, Lucky
BUI, with perfect calmness and not eo
much of a shadow of a chaago in tho ex
pression of his face, took a notebook from
his pocket and deliberately wrote a few
words. Then he tore out the leaf and hand-
id It to the stronger.
“Look at that when you get home to
night."
His voice was steady and did not betray
a particle of excitement. The play pro-
grassed. Lucky Bill’s face was unyield
ing as a stone. He noticed everything,
however, and his vigilant eye did not miss
tho slightest move on tho part of the other
players. He was a typical gambler, and
one of the moat successful of his guild;
hence bis sobriquet.
At last there was an altercation between
the two miners. Hot words ensued, and
revolvers wore drawn. Some of tho by
standers interfered at this point, and In
the scuffio that followed I heard the sharp
whistle and ping of a bullet. Lucky Bill
(hts good star in the descendant) foil to
the floor and expired without a groan. He
had been killed by the accidental discharge
of a pistol In the hands of one of the min
ers. The paper ho had written read aa fol
lows: #
"I have drawn a pair of sevens. I now
hold jacks fuU on red sevens. It Is a fatal
hand. No one ever yet held it and left the
card table aUve. I shall dlo. I have $6.-
000 In tho First National of Bismarck.
