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."-— New York Herald. Lcrio* Jule*.

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?— New York Herald. 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.

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.

When tho rush to Harqua Hala be gan and 1,500 men located at the camp In a very short time, sho wa3 the sole repre sentative of her sex among them. 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 sho Is a versatile, enterprising woman is 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 founded, as the purchaser learned to his cost. Other mines have been bought upon her advice, and rich leads havo been struck by running drifts In tho dlrectlou sbe in dicated. In Tombstone the miners would bet on her judgment every time. She has been rich and poor on numerous occasions as a result of the varying luck of mining, but when sho “goes broko" she la undaunted and starts for a now camp to retrievo her fallen fortunes.

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. Notify my mother, Mra. of , Ky." —-Philadelphia Press. CbtiMte Letter Writing.
