George Henry Bangs, aged 53, the
Oencnd Superintendent of Pinkerton’s
Jptetective Agencies at Chicago, Phila¬
delphia, and New York, died suddenly
mt litwoile, N. J., where he was spending
’fee summer. The career of Mr. Bangs
.* one of the most remarkable of Amer¬
ican detectives. He rose from the ranks
&> tbe highest position in Pinkerton’s
fence, and for over a quarter of a century
ice either planned or personally intrusted worked the
every important case to
Pinkerton agencies. He was a tall, fine
looking man, of commanding presence
aad a close student of human nature,
sol was rarely deceived. The record of
his cases during the war and later in the
Mollie McGuire conspiracies in Pennsyl¬
vania is a part of his history. Mr. Bangs
look Ids first lessons in life in a news¬
paper office, beginning on the Era,
which was owned and edited by his
father. After engaging in reportonal
work for a few years he evinced great
detective abilities. In 1856 he resolved
to give up journalism for police work.
Be obtained a position on the police
force, and during the days of the Crystal
Palace he was one of the celebrated
Crystal Palace squad. While he was
serving in this capacity Allan Pinkerton

business was rapidly growing larger than

-oordingly York an in
and came to New for men to oper¬
ate it. He was introduced to Bangs,
and engaged him, together with Samuel
Bridge man and Timothy Webster, both
whom died in the service, the latter
facing executed as a Union spy in Rich¬
mond during McClellan s siege. They
-•accompanied Mr. Pinkerton to Chicago,
■md for the next few years engaged in the
■at til business of a detective agency.
At the breaking out of the war Major
Pinkerton was made Chief of the United
4Kates Secret Service Department. Here
'Mr. Haags had an opportunity to ex
Sdfaet his great abilities. During the
war She passed and repassed the rebel
fanes in different disguises, and on vari
•mm ing missions fife in of his great hands, importance, tak¬
bis but owing to
Iris coolness and courage he escaped un
westhed. At the close of the war, when
Jfr. Pinkerton established his agencies
at New York and Philadelphia, he put
them i n charge of Mr. Bangs, who re¬
mained at the head of the business until
tbe lime of his death.
Amoijg the work done by Mr. Bangs
■wan the -capture of Jules Imbert, the
celebrated French forger. The French¬
man obtained four drafts, amounting to
#15,<00 from August Belmont, and by
forgeries he secured over $30,000 from
unsuspecting New York bankers, after
which he fled the country. He was
traced by Mr. Bangs to Canada, whither
the young officer started to capture him.
■With no effort at subterfuge, ho accused
the forger directly of his guilt, and by
■Sheer pluck managed to extort a confes¬
sion from him. This once accomplished
lie started for home with his prisoner on
the cars, taking the precaution to fasten
tbe forger’s wrist to his own with hand¬
cuffs. After journeying a hundred miles
Imlawt apparently fell into a doze, and
Hangs who was completely tired out,
•aoort followed his example. When he
awakcued he found to his intense elm
grin that the Frenchman had picked the
lock of the handcuff aud escaped. The
last station wasFonde, inN. Y. State. He
felt sure that the prisoner had left the
«ar at this point. He had the train
•topped aud retraced the distance on
Cook It was late at night and he wont to
fae leading hotel and asked for a bed, in¬
tending to begin his search in the morn
teg The host said the only bed he could
fcave was one which was already occu¬
pied by a recent arrival. Glad to Bleep
anywhere, Bangs accepted the offer.
"When lie turned down the coverlet of
B»e bed he saw to his astonishment and
delight that hiscompanion was his recent
jHisoner. He hastened to secure him,
end in the morning the pair landed
aafely in New York, where Imbert was
convicted and sent to State prison, where
lie died eight years later.
Another famous case was the first
meat robbery of the Adams Express
Company at Montgomery, Ala, It was
In 1838. The company missed ten thou¬
sand dollars in bills from one of its
picions. packages. There were no clues, no sus¬
The Vice-President, the late
JE. s. Sanford, set a careful watch upon

Who of the employees could have com
Biitted the crime, as it could not have
been done outside. Shortly afterward
-»sealed pouch passed through Mont¬ New
gomery from a Savannah bank to
York, containing forty thousand dollars.
When the pouch reached Montgomery,
-which was a transfer office, the local
x^ent, Nathan Maroney, gave a receipt
Mat the money to the messenger. But
-when the pouch reached New York the
package of money was gone, and a
wqixii hole, as clean cut as if made by
* ravor, was in the side of the bag, con¬
cealed from the public view by the outer
pocket of the pouch. At first it was
rapposed that this was the work of a
messenger. Each of a dozen messengers
examined, questioned, and watched.
Sat to no purpose. Finally, Mr. Bangs
we nt to the Georgia bank and had an
-othex parcel made of exactly the same
size aa the missifig one. The bag was

borne an character for
■sobriety, propriety, and frugality.
Wotbing was said to him of the suspi
sirmn. but he was watched. A deteo
tewe secured employment in the office
' a female detective entered his house
i * dress-maker.
But in spite ot the watch nothing im
jpialint was ascertained. It was learned,
however, that he had bet heavily upon
horse-races and was a part owner in a
race-horse; but there was nothing crim¬
inating in that. Fortunately, the bank
had the denomination of nearly all the
lulls in the forty-thousand-dollar pack¬
age, and Maroney’s expenditures stolen were
carefully traced, but none of the
money was found. Finally, within a few
months, he left the employ of the com¬
pany and began traveling. A detective
kept close watch of his movements. He
spent money freely, but none of the
mussing wealth could be discovered. In
tbe meantime he sent his young wife to
Jenkinville, Penn., where she had rela¬
tives. The late Kate Warren, chief of
the female department of the agency,
was sent to board at the same house.
Finding none of the stolen money,
Bangs became convinced that Maroney
had stolen both packages and was now
using the proceeds of the ten-thousand
dollar robiiery, and was saving the
340,000 for future use. After following
him for several weeks, Mr. Bangs
thought it safe to arrest him on a civil
action to recover the money which it was
alleged had been lost through his care¬
lessness. This was done in New York,
and he was lodged in the Ludlow street
jail. A month before a detective was
also thrown into the prison on a charge
of debt This officer soon ingratiated
himself in Maroney’s favor, and in live
months succeeded in getting out of him
the statement that he had a large sum of
money.
On a plea of being able to assist him
so a fortune through cotton speculations,
the detective obtained a note from him
to his wife, telling her to give him a
“book,” which Maroney had previously
explained to her meant the package of
money. According to the arrangements
the detective met Mrs. Maroney on a
lonely country road at night, but the
wife had consulted with her uncle who
was acquainted with the theft, and re¬
fused to give up the “book.” The de¬
tective urged her so strongly, however,
that she concluded to ask the advice of
her female friend. This advice it is
needless to add, secured the money to
the officer. Only 8500 had been taken
from the parcel. Maroney was subse¬
quently victed. taken to Montgomery know, however, and con¬
He did not of

of the money the officer walked
into the court and took the witness chair.
The great Adams Express robbery at
Cos Cob bridge, on the New Haven road,
when $600,000 was taken, was entirely
under the supervision of Mr. Bangs, who
recovered nearly the entire amount. He
also planned the workings of the dis
covery of the Mollie Maguire plots and
it was through the fertility of his genius
that the perpetrators were brought to
the gallows. His body will be buried
by the side of Timothy Webster, his old
comrade, in the cemetery at Chicago.
They both died in the harness.
ASKING THE WAY.
A Idttle Lfflflon in Traveling that Many
Have Experienced.
It has been said many times that the
most difficult thing for any man to do is
to direct a stranger clearly and correctly
to a distant street or building. There
are two kinds of men in the matter of
showing the way, the city resident and
the countryman. The city man is always
perplexed and confused when asked
about the streets he is most familiar
with. He always stops short, wrinkles
his brow and says, “Let me see.” But
the countryman is never perplexed. He
knows the “hull kentry fur miles around”
and nothing pleases him so much as to
pass half an hour in displaying his
knowledge. The following experience typical
of a reporter will illustrate the
farmer’s method of directing:
It was iu Worcester Comity, Mass., drive
and the reporter had undertaken to
from a country town alone, to a well
known farm several miles out from the
centre. Losing the way he stopped the
first farmer he met and inquired.
“Whoa up 1” shouted the farmer to
his restless horse. It was really restless,
aud by no means the typical poke of a
plow horse. “Whoa up I What say,
mister?”
“Can you tell me the way to Mr, A—’s
house?”
“Wal, ruther reckon I kin. Ain’t ae
anointed in these parts, lie ye ? Whoa,
Jenny, whoa, back, sh, sb, there, naow,
st,an’still. Thet there colt’s most tew
much fur me, I swan. She ain’t been
brnk more’n three weeks come next
Friday. Yes, there’s four ways tew git
thar; might say five, but I guess yew
won’t want to go thet way. Whoa up,
ye brute. ”
“I should like the best way, or the
shortest, as I am in something of a
hurry ”
“Oh, be ye? Wal,” very deliberately,
“I reckon yew’d better keep streton this
way,till yew git to the cross-ruds, ’baout
tew mile’n a half ’bove here, an’—whoa
—whoap ! Jenny, don’t y e know noth
in’ at all, oousarn ye? I swan. 9 but it
does beat all haow some oolts will take
on. Jes’ like human natur’, darned ef
'taint. Well, I reckon yew’d better not
go thet way. Yew’d git all tangled up
in the cross-ruds, ’nd go more’n a mile
out o’ yer way. P’raps yew’d bettei
take this way. Sec thet thar yellowish
braown barn ’cross them medder lands ?
Wal, jist beyond thar, thar’s a rud that
turns a leetle off tew the right. Whoap,
back! sh, thar. But yew don’t want
tew take that rud; jes’ go right tiil by an’
take the Squire next one. Johnson’s. Folly thet Yew’ll yer
come to know
the place by ’n old dead apple tree on
the corner, ’n a broken do vn red express
wagon in the door-yard, Pass thet
house, ’n take yer fust left, then yer
second right, ’n yew’ll see Mr. A—'s
house right on a leetle hill tew yer right.
Stop at—whoaup there, Jenny !—stop at
Dave Hatch’s shanty, at the fut of the
hill, ’n he’ll tell ye the best way up. Ef
yew’d ruther not climb the hill, p’r’aps
yew’d better go another way. Go back
here a piece V teke—”
“Thank you, Squire, but I guess this
way will do.”
“Wal—only don’t forgit to pass by the
fust turn tew the right, an’ yew can’t
help missing it,”
With this ambiguous declaration Jenny
was allowed free rein, and the reporter
journeyed off alone, infrequent vowing to depend
m future on the guide-boards
rather than a loquacious farmer.
JAVA’S KUINED TEMPLES.
Description ot Horan of the Biiilrilnjr* De¬
stroyed by tbe Recent Eartbqunkes.
The greatest force of the late gigantic
eruption in Java seems to have been at
the western end, where Bantam, the
Dutch capital, is situated. But the ac¬
tivity of the under world force was not
confined to one part of the island.
About the middle of the island, but not
given on ordinary maps, I here is a group
of very remarkable old temples. Their
position may be roughly understood by
reference to any map of Java, by draw¬
ing a line south of Samarang to the
other coast where a river will he found
called the Pro go. and on the east of it
there is a town which has a variety of
spellings, but it may be written Djoek
jakarta—the Dutch call it “Jockio”—
this place is also mentioned as having
suffered seriously. About thirty-five
miles from Djockjakarta is the great
Temple of Boro Budder; also called
Boro Bodo and Boer Buddha. The dome
of this monument is stated to have been
crushed in by falling rocks. The tem¬
ple does not stand on the side of a
mountain, but on the top of a hill, so it
could not have resulted from masses of
rock rolling down upon it. The destruc¬
tion must be ascribed to huge fragments
having been thrown into the air and then
descending with terrific force.
Boro Buddor is by far the largest and
greatest monument of the Buddhist re¬
ligion in the East. The temple of Na
kon Wat in Cambodia is the only other
that can be put in comparison with it.
The base is square, and each side is
about four hundred feet long. The
upper portion is circular and about one
hundred aDd fifty feet in height; there
is one central dome, and there are seventy
smaller ones. On the terraces round it
there are between four and five hundred
chapels, each with a statue of Buddha in
it, seated in the usual cross legged posi¬
tion. The sides are covered all round
with bas-reliefs on each terrace; one ter¬
race has 120 subjects, which embrace the
whole history of Buddha. The temple
is a solid mass of masonry, and is of the
same kind as the Dagobas of Southern
India or the Topes of the Northwest.
The first notice of this temple was
given by Sir Stamford Raffles, who at
the time stated that “ the interior of
Java contains temples that, as works of
art, dwarf to nothing all our wonder and
admiration at the Pyramids of Egypt.”
Miss North has lately painted pictures
of Boro Buddor on the spot. About
twenty miles southeast of Boro Buddor
is a place called Brambanam. This is the
site of the ancient capital of Java, and
there are a very large number of tem¬
ples standing which have more or less
suffered from former earthquakes. One
of the celebrated groups of this place is
known as the Chandi Siwa, or the
“Thousand Temples.” This is also said
to have suffered. There is a volcano
somewhere near to these and to Boro
Buddor, called Mount Merapia, which
has probably been the active agent in
this case.
The Half-Dime Novel Boy.
The Rev. A. Stewart Walsh, D. D.,
of New York, m 1 11B Sunday sermon,
taking as his text Hosea, ym., 7, said,
“The thinking of a youth determines
his after career. If he sows the wind he
mid society will reap the whirlwind,
Save the boys and the millennium will
come, for where the boys are there will
the girls be also Most of our boys are
rough, and neither Church nor State
has as yet effectively applied any plan
f° r sweetening and softening them,
The trouble in the matter begins at
home. The mother is too easy. Her
sermons are only kisses and tears She
leaves all the whipping to the father,
The boy drifts from intimacy with the
rod-wiekler and misses his course. His
educators are company and books. Now
boys seek the society of their elders, and
3neB 816 pi ore apt to teach vice than
morals. A boy s mind is hungry for
ideas. The bad book fills it with such
any extent. We are in a reading
»ge, and the devil utilizes the press a» a
juggernaut to T uu Cheap
literature, undermining pandering to , the the character worst p«u of
sions, thousands is who might otherwise become
choice citizens. Six hundred thousand
copies of trashy papers are published
weekly in this country besides which
there are millions of yellow covers
floating about. Luther threw his mk
bottle at what he supposed to be the
devil. He missed his mark, but the
devil took the hint and m hurling back

The superintendent of the New Fork
Jewish Asylum says that seven-eighths of
the youths sent to that reformatory owe
their downfall to trashy novels. The
too, often has its source in tae
house. The worst cheap “daily” is
taken into the family to the exclusion
°f sound literature. Few even of Chrxs
t< au families try to have a full fresh sup
pty °f reading for the family circle.
Until there is a regnlar crusade and ref¬
ormation in behalf of our boys we must
not wonder if they are rough, tough and
reckless. As we must remember that
they deserve from their us more fault if sympathy through
than censure. Is it
lack of fit training they who are reser¬
voirs of rapidly developing powers, with
longings to lead heroic lives, fall into
disorders? Without a chart how can
they hope to steer their way safely
through the tempestuous billows of
life? Let us, then, sympathize with
them and do our best to help them.”
A Request.
A story is told of the experience of the
late George Dawson (of the Albany
Evening Journal) with confidence men
when he was attending a Convention in
New York city. Walking toward his
hotel he was accosted by a young man
who inquired about the people of A1
bany in the usual style. With his pa¬
ternal air, the editor turned inquisitor,
and asked about the success of his com¬
panion, who reported that he had se¬
cured a good situation with a leading
house. gratulating Finally Mr. Dawson, after con¬
him on his good luck,
bluntly said: “I am very glad you are
in such good position; will you lend me
$10?” The canny smile which accom¬
panied the request went like a shot
through the sharper, who took himself
off with rapidity.
The Alligator Fever.
It treats all how a northern man does
hanker to shoot an alligator just as scon
as he gets beyond the Ohio river, and
the further South he goes the stronger
grows the feeling. It’s a sort of “buck
fever,” and nothing will cure it except
the gore of the reptile. A chap from
Rhode Island went down to Biloxi from
New Orleans with a party. Small alli¬
gators were plenty enough along the
creeks and ditches, and every time the
Clam State man saw one he almost
kicked his boots off. He tackled every¬
body around Biloxi for an alligator hunt,
and he finally paid a darkey g3 to drive
him to a lake four or five miles away,
where the saurians were said to be nu¬
merous enough to crowd each other out of
water. The boys had been over in the
morning and fixed things. A rope was
tied to either end of a water soaked log
and led into the bushes, and no sooner
had the hunter got down and discovered
a movement in the water than he opened
fire.
“Dat’s yer game, boss,” said the dar¬
key as he seated himself in the shade,
and the way that old log was bombarded
was a caution. The man made eye shots
and line shots, and dead shots, and after
he had fired about twenty-five times he
began to wonder why his game didn’t
turn toes up.
“Takes a heap o’ lead, boss, but you
is tnibblin’ him mighty bad,” encour¬
aged the darkey, and the bombardment
was renewed with a determination to die
in the last ditch. Pretty soon a man
broke forth from the bushes to the left,
and in a voice of authority called out:
“Shooting alligators out of season is
an offense punishable by a fine of not
less than $10. ”
“N-o-a!”
“How many shots have you fired?”
“Only thirty-nine.”
“Shooting off a revolver in the State
of Mississippi, except in self- defence, is
a fine of $5 for each time ! Have you a
permit?”
“Permit for what?”
“To shoot at Col. Ford’s alligators.
If not he can recover damages not to ex¬
ceed $500. Did you cross that field ?”
“Yes.”
“That’s tresspass, and the fine is not
less than $25. You must come with me!”
“But, sir— I— 1”
“I will bring up my horse and bnggy
and you must go to the county seat!”
The “constable” started. So did
Rhode Island. They went in opposite
directions. The Rhode Islander came
into Biloxi on a canter, settled his hotel
bill without stopping to count the
change, and picking up his satchel
he dusted off along the railroad track as
if called to a death-bed. When I found
him in Mobile a few days later he had
shaved off his whiskers and blackened
his eye-brows. He also complained of a
lame back and corns on his feet.
“Bay!” says he as he carefully looked
around for listeners, “If old Mississippi
feels so stuck up over a few ponds and
alligators and constables she can keep
’em and be hanged to her! I drather
shoot a crow any time than an alligator !”

HEAYY LIFE INSURANCE.
The Larue Policies that are Carried b)
Nome Itleh .Hen.
Not very long ago the British life in¬
surance companies were called upon,
within the short space of one year, to pay
the enormous sum of $6,250,000 on pol¬
icies on the lives of three heavily insured
noblemen, viz., the Duke of Newcastle,
the Marquis of Anglesea, and the Earl
of Fife; and shortly afterward the same
companies paid $1,250,000 insurance on
the lives of two noblemen, making an
aggregate sum of $7,500,000 insurance
paid on five lives. About fifteen years
ago the heirs of Sir Robert Clifton re¬
ceived from the life insurance companies
of Great Britain $1,250,000, that being
the amount of insurance which he car¬
ried. King Umberto, of Italy, is mak
ing efforts to obtain insurance on his own
life for $600,000. The Italian insurance
companies refused to take the risk, and
application was made to English com¬
panies with no better success. King
Umberto has comparatively impover¬
ished himself by paying his father’s debts.
Dom Pedro II., the Emperor of Brazil,
carries a large life insurance in foreign
companies. Napoleon III. had an in¬
surance of $600,000 on his life, and this
was the chief reliance of the Empress
Eugenie after his death. One English
Earl has his life insured for $1,000,000,
partly in American companies.
The largest life insurance Written for
any American prince is that of W. K.
Anderson, the “oil prince,” of Titusville,
Pa., who is insured for $440,000. The
late James Park, Jr., of Pittsburgh, had
his life insured for $350,000. Among
Americans insured for $300,000 or more
are Hamilton Disston, of Philadelphia,
John Howe, of St. Louis, W. H. Lang¬
ley, of Galleopolis, Ohio; and J. B.
Stettson, of Philadelphia, Pa. Other
large insurers are Pierre Lorillard. of
New York, $255,000; F. W. Devoe, New
York, $250,000: Cyrus W. Field, New
York, $240,000; Frank Jones, Ports¬
mouth, N. H., $205,000; Amos Whitney,
Springfield, O.. $200,000; B. F. Stnrte
vant, Boston, $200,000; F. B. Roberts,
New York, $200,000; E. P. Allis. Mil¬
waukee, $170,000; John Gibb, New York,
$170,000; Charles Pratt, New York,
$165,000; H. B. Hyde, New York, $165,
000; E. A. Moen, New York, $151,000;
E. D. C. McKav, Clyde", New York, $143,000;
and W. P. of New York, $143,000.
J. B. Cornell, W. H. Belknap and John
Sinclair, of New York, have policies of
$125,000 each; DeWitt C. Wheeler is
insured for$110.000; Rufus Hatch, $76,
000; William Fullerton, $75,000; and
H. B. Claflin, $75,000.
The famous Col. Dwight, whose heirs
claimed $263,000 insurance on his life,
asserting that he died at Binghamton,
N. Y., in 1878, sought to obtain even a
larger amount. They got about $50,
000, and have lawsuits pending for the
remainder.
A wthautht old gentleman was ealled
upon for a charitable contribution,
“Confound it,” he --aplied irascibly, “my
hand ia never out of my responded pocket with you

plicant, humbly, “but cannot von make
