But I must have seen him in the meantime, as his younger sis ter. afterwards Mrs. James Greenleaf. was an.intimate friend of my sisters and often made visits at our house.

It tells how you stand on According to the Comptroller's state ment more than *5,000.000 worth of these stamps have been destroyed, either in process of manufacture or by actual burning, without adequate ro ot'd or supervision. In the two year.! since the act was passed, and thero is onlv the personal word of a single clerk, salaried at *2,500, and bond to certify the fact that they were de* stroyed at all. Destroyed or not Destroyed. The total amount of stamps recorded as destroyed at different times between June 2, 1905. when the first issue of stamps began, anil December 29. 1906, (two days before Comptroller Glenn as sumed office) was *5,811.65S. Two lots reported as actually burned, repre sented respectively. *174.000 and *2,- 283.507.40. Another lot said to have been destroyed at the time of manu facture, because one or more stamp.! in each sheet was defective, amqun- d to *993.042.60. The balance of the vast total of over five millions are recorded as destroyed in some stage of the pro cess of making. According to Comptroller Glenn, the entire details of printing and caring for the stock transfer tax stamps was in the hands of Chas. JL XVatkins, of Pennsylvania, chief clerk in the stock transfer tax bureau, who was super seded early .In January by an appointee of Mr. Glenn and it was in the process of checking up the statements on hand that the alleged state of affairs was discovered. The stamps were printed by Quayle & Son. of this city, at their plant on Green street. The plates wero in the custody of the comptroller's of fice. and each day or week were de livered to ^ua'-le. The paper first u=ed was an ordinary commercial sort which Comptroller Glenn said was stored In the Quayle shop, under an ordinary lock in an ordinary room and while the sheets were counted out before print ing. there was no safeguard to prevent their being abstracted. Moreover, tho comptroller declares the count of sheets does not tally, the explanation being that some of it was used for other purposes. Could Be Counterfeited. The first issue of stamps was found to be susceptible of counterfeiting and the removal of the cancellation marks, and in May or June of last year tho printing of these was stopped and a new issue was begun, on patent paper. “XX’hen tho new paper, which was to d?fy counterfeiting, came to hand." said the Comptroller, “it. received no better safeguard than was left in' tho Quayle shop. And the Comptroller's seal, with which the bundles wore sealed, was apparently as carelessly treated." The finished stamps were stored ill the safe deposit of the vaults of tho Albany city safe deposit under a single key system. Of the first issue, $1.- 56i,00S are recorded as having been destroyed in manufacture. About Oc tober 1, 1905, Mr. Glynn said, the rec ord shows that a lot of $174,000 which had been accepted and sealed, as good find placed in the deposit vault where the stamps were kept, were recorded as “burned" and the statement was made that they had been "replaced by the printer.’’ as not having been up to the standard of workmanship, but • the Comptroller said there was no rec-' ord to this effect. A statement was made to him by Wat kins. the comDtroller said, adding: “Ho says that early in October- he took all that remained of the old Issue of stamps from the vaults down to Quayles shop in Green street, boxed them up and they remainder there without guard or watch man at least one night. Conflict of Testimony. “There is a conflict of testimony on this point."The safe deposit people sav they were not returned until Deeemher' 26. There were over two millions in this lot— $1.256.211—which had been returned by the Bank of Manhattan Company, tho official distributors of the stamps and J1.027.39C which had never been Issued. I do not know how long they remained at the Green street shop, but according to Watkins' statement were they brought back here to the state house and on De cember 29. two days before I assumed office, they were burned in the furnace down stairs, without being counted or checked up. and without witnesses save a e!»rk. who was in no way legally-respon sible for their care. Tiie record of the burning of the December 29 was not en tered until December 31—the day before I took office. “These stamps are practically cash.’’ Mr. Quayle disclaimed all responsibility save as- printer." said Mr. Giymi. "He says he took Watkins' word as to the count. I find that there were times when work wa* going on when neither Watkins nor any other representative of ■the comptroller was present." Oliver A. Quayle. executive manager for QuayU- A- Son, said: “There was never a particle of work performed except at such times as the inspector was present, and his directions and instructions were followed minutely.” Cardinal Hohenlohe Suspected Jesuits Would Poison His Holiness ATLANTA.

Feb. 10.—Primo Levi, who was acquainted with the late Premier Crispi. adds to the memories of the late Prince Hchenlohe by publishing letters written by Cardinal Hohenlohe. a brother of the Chancellor, who lived in Rome. From those letters it ap pears that Cardinal Hohenlohe suspect ed the Jesuits and that they tried to poison him because he was too liberal in endeavoring, through his intimacy rith leading statesmen, chief among them Crispi, to bring about an under standing between the Vatican and i he Quirinal. Cardinal Hohenlohe on June" 24. 1389, wrote Pope Leo, saying: “God has arranged things so that the church cannot retake the temporal power. The salvation of souls demands that we submit and remain tranquil In the ecclesiastic sphere.” The Pope's departure from Itaiv was poken of owing to friction over tho monument to Giordano Bruno, the philosopher, who was burned at the stake in the Campo Dei Fiorl at Rome as a heretic. Cardinal Hohenlohe wrote to Pope Leo: "Crispi has asked me to inform you that if you wish to leave he will not oppose it, and will have you accompanied with all honors, but that your holiness will neyer be allowed to return to Rome.'' Cardinal Holenhole also discussed with Crispi and Foreign- Minister Blanc the best way in case of a con- , clave, to prevent the election of Car dinal Rampolla as Pope. It’ was eon- Tended in tills discussion that Italy could not act without appearing to mlrfimize the spiritual sovereignty and independence of the church: neither could Germany, because it was a Pro testant power, and Austria aionw was , in a position to act. Blanc drew up ,r* memorial which Cardinal Hohen!oh° sent to his brother, who then was tho German Chan elior. and this memorial probably was the origin of the Austrian r .Cardinal Rampolla at the last onclave.
