They Perform Manifold

Institutions. ..Requisite vith Large Sums ANKS as a rule take more precau tions aga!nst fraud and robbery than any other financial institutions. In fact, the officials thoroughly understand that absolute ly no chances must be given any one to defraud, and that is the reason all possible precautions are taken. Chief among these precautions is the big policeman one sees standing near the bank door, dressed in his neat uniform. The average person is under the impression that the policeman found stationed near the front door of the bank Is merely an ornament to give the place a more official look and to answer useless questions. However, this officer is in the bank principally to do regular police duty and to ascertain the business of every one who comes into the place. He knows all the regular customers of the bank and the instant a stranger comes in the door the policeman spots him and watches him until he transacts his business and departs. If the person hesitates when he gets inside the bank the policeman will politely ask the nature of his business and then direct him to the right place. Some years ago a gentleman coming out of the door of one of the largest banks in the city was relieved of a large sum of money, which he had just drawn, by a man standing in the vestibule between the storm doors 'and the regular door, who bumped into him. The pickpocket begged the man's pardon and passed on, so that the robbery was not discovered until after the man who had drawn the money arrived at his office and proceeded to take the money from his pocket. By this time the robber had such an excellent start that he was never caught. Now when the bank policeman see3 anyone standing within the vestibule he will inquire what he Is waiting for. If he says for a friend, as is usually the case, he is Invited Inside the bank and asked to sit down. The reason for this is that the Iollceman can at all times keep an eye on him, so that he will not come in direct contact with any one who has drawn money, and in thi3 way he cannot get near any of the tellers' windows to get a chance to work what is known as "the wire racket." AN OLD TRICK. This trick is an old one, but nevertheless, before policemen were hired by the banks it was not uncommon for it to be worked in banks all over the country. The thief simply goes to a window that a teller has left for an Instant. He has a wire hook about three feet long and this he thrusts through the window and lifts up a package of bills, walks out and no one is the wiser until night comes and the unsuspecting clerk endeavors to make his accounts balance, when he discovers the shortage. These wireworkers usually escaped, for It was hard to catch them in the act. One clerk in a bank never looks after another's window for he has not the time and the man who had lifted the package of bills would have an excellent opportunity to escape before the robbery was discovered. However since the policemen have been employed by the banks the career of the wlreworker has come to a close. The worth of the bank policeman to his employer, as well as the general public at large, was demonstrated only a few months ago in the arrest of A. J. Carter and E. A. Benton, the two noted bank swindlers who were caught in this city by D. M. Shepherd, th policeman at the Columbia National Bank. Carter and his partner had been robbing banks all over the country rByLOUIS W. JONES s U I I

and had always been able to make good their escape until they tried to work their scheme in this city. Carter rented desk room In the office of a brokerage concern in the State Life building and rtpre.-rnted himself as connected with the Carter Paier Company of New York. As he was a smooth talker and soon won many friends In the office where he had his desk, and as he-seemed, from all appearances, to be doing a legitinr.ate butin??s, no one ever suspected him. One day he asked a member of the firm in whos-e office hj was staying to recommend him to a bank where he could deposit the money he was collecting. This man very gladly introduced him at the Columbia National, and Carter deposited a number of checks, which amounted to several thousand dollars. Policeman Shepherd has done police work of various kinds for a number of years, and is consequently more or le5s familiar with the methods of criminals, and he noticed that Carter acted in a very nervous manner all the time he was In the bank, and kept looking about him restlessly all the time. This the officer communicated to the qashier. and he in turn telegraphed to New York, where the checks all came from. CHECKS WERE BOGUS. In this way it was found that the checks were bogus, that there was no such firm in existence as the Carter Paper Company, and that the whole thing was a swindle, so that it was determined the next time Carter came in to arrest him. It was not long until Carter came into the bank and attempted to draw out his account. The cashier then confronted him with the facts he had learne'd from NewYork. Carter contended that there must be some mistake and that he would go and get his friend in whose office he was staying. However, as he turned to leave, Shepherd stepped up and arrested him. Carter's confederate was known to be Benton, so the police were notified, and Detectives Holtz and Bray were sent to the bank. In the telephone message there was nothing said about Benton, who was standing outside the bank waiting for Carter, and the instant he saw the detectives coming he left. When Carter was searched a card was found in the sweat band of hl3 hat on which was printed E. A. Benton, 127 North Alabama street, and shortly afterward Benton was arrested at that number. Both men are now serving terms In the State Prison. They were badly wanted in a number of other cities, where they had worked their scheme and been successful, and had there been any flaw In the evidence against them here which would have kept them from being convicted the police departments in all of the cities that these men had visited were waiting for them. Another successful catch was made some years ago by Officer Tieben. of the Indiana National Bank. Tleben Is different from the general run of bank policemen in that he is a member of the regular city police force and is detailed to the bank for special duty. A man on Massachusetts avenue was robbed of several one-hundred-dollar bills, but fortunately he had registered the number of every one of them in a memorandum book. He notified all of the banks of the numbers, and a few days after the robbery a man presented one of the bills to have It changed. Tieben was called and arrested him. The man afterward confessed. The bank policemen are selected for their honesty, for they are often intrusted with large sums of money to be taken to another bank or to the express company. They are often sent on the streets with many thousands of dollars. Often when large sums are to be transferred from one bank to another two clerks are detailed to carry the money under the guard of the policeman, and at nc time is any one on the street permitted to come between the clerks and the officer. EARLY ON DUTY. The bank policeman is required to report for duty shortly after 7 o'clock In the morning. At that time it Is his duty to watch the vaults when the paying teller op?ns them to get his money out for the day's business. The policeman places himself where he will have full view of both the teller's cage and the vault, so that no one "Washington's n

nlversary Occurred Recently And Was Unnotl

ITH the presidential campaign rapidly approaching is recalled an anniversary that occurred but a few days ago and passed entirely unnoticed. w Circumstances which are beyond human control attach to certain days in the year a significance and Importance which causes them to be regarded by peoples of the various nations and races almost as being sacred, and are consequently observed by them as national holidays. The paramount red-letter day in American history is the Fourth of July, with Washington's birthday a close second. Another day of deep historical Import to this country is April the 30th. It is the day on which George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of of the United States. This important event took place on Thursday. April SO, 17S9. It was on April 30, last, that the Louisiana purchase treaty was signed between representatives of Napoleon I and the American Republic. New York expected that it would be the capital city of the Nation. Congress, feeble gathering as it was, had held its sessions in the metropolis from 17S5. In anticipation of being the chosen spot. New York felt an Impulse of business of every kind that sent her far on the road to the conspicuous position she now enjoys. With a liberality that to this day distinguishes her citizens, $32,000 was contributed to beautify and enlarge what was then the city hall for the occupation of the new government, where the subtreasury now stands. Congress did not meet until more than a month after the time appointed to count the votes that had been cast for the first Fresident and Vice President of the United States. It was not until April 6 that this business was accomplished, and that John Langdon, the president pro tern, of the Senate, officially declared the result. Of course, no man was mentioned for the first office except Washington, but of the second in importance, John Adams had no fewer than ten competitors. On the day following the arrival in New York of Mr. Adams, on April 20, he was conducted to the Senate chamber by Caleb Strong, of Massachusetts, and Ralph Izard, of South Carolina, where he quietly took the oath of office and made a brief address. On the same day the mayor and aldermen of the city called upon him and presented him with an address in which they promised to "contribute whatever might be in their power to render his residence agreeable, his person respected and his office dignified." Mr. Adams chose as his residence the Richmond Hill house, "about a mile and a half from the city of New York," which In the revolution was the headquarters of General Washington. New York was now ready for the incident which overshadowed all others for the time the arrival of President Washington. It took the messenger of Congress. Charles Thomson, just a week to reach Mount Vernon, and he delivered his official notification to the President-elect o:i April H. The second day after that Washington began a Journey, every step of which is memorable. From the moment when lie left the E-it.cs of Mount Vernon until seven days afterwards ho was met at Ellzabethtcwn. in New Jersey, by the deputation from Congress, It was one continuous triumphal march. On Thumiay, April 23, Washington arrived ut Ellzabcthtown, where he was met

can enter or depart from either without his knowing it. Also In the evening when the bank closes he watches until all the money is put away and looked up. In the morning, after he tees that the teller has all of his cash errangen" for the day. he takes his stand at the front door to watch the people who come and and act as a scrt of information bureau, because all ni inner of questions are asked him. not only those pertaining to the bank, but also to the city at large. They have at hand street gul-ies. so that they are able to answer any questions asked as to the locality of the different streets about tewn. Not lor.g ago a man stepped into a bank and asked the policeman where Indianapolis avenue was located. This policeman is pretty good on streets, but this was one- on him. He produced a street guide, feeling sure that this would aid him, but It did not record Indianapolis avenue. The policemen, however, was determined, and after hunting around the building for a while he found a street map, which gave it as a small street running north and south In the neighborhood of Riverside Park. The man who was looking for the information was very profuse In his thanks. No one has a better opportunity of studying human nature than the bank policeman, for he sees all sorts of people, and It is his duty to watch them. Some of these policemen have their business down to such a fine point that the instant a person comes Into a bank they can tell directly what window he is looking for by his action. They say that seldom . a woman comes In to have a chk cashed who docs not go to the cashier instead of the paying teller. Whenever the policeman sees a woman enter the bank he watches her, and if she takes a check out of the depths of her pocketbook he will try to head her off before she gets to the cashier. When he tells her that she will have to go to the paying teller she looks very much surprised and says that she thought the cashier gave out all the money. James A. Sullivan, the policeman at the Merchants' Bank, saj-s that for a number of years previous to coming into the bank he was a street-car conductor, and that the people he meets In the bank have so few kicks to register compared to those he came in contact with on the car that it seems very strange to him and that It is hard for him to get used to it. Sullivan is one of the students of human nature, who observes very closely but says little about what he sees. Nevertheless none of the humor of a situation escapes him. OLDEST BANK POLICEMAN. The oldest bank policeman and one who is familiar to every person of Indianapolis that frequents the down-town district is Alfred McGruder. of Fletcher's Bank. He was for a number of years on the city police force, and was detailed to the bank, where he has been stationed for fifteen years. He knows every customer of the bank. He can also tell who of the customers have been in the bank during the day. McGruder is highly respected by the bank officials. Bank policemen, when they are sworn into office, take the same oath and are under the same obligations to the city as the members of the regular police force. They are, in fact, the same as any patrolmen so far as the police power Is concerned, except that they do not wear the regulation police badge, but the ones the Board of Safety designates for special policemen. They were permitted to wear the regulation badge until a few years ago. The bank presidents seeing the necessity for the police at their institutions being upon the same basis with other patrolmen, made application to the board for regular badges, but were refused. The policemen then asked for the privilege of being appointed as regular patrolmen detailed at the bank and paid by them. The Board of Safety now has this under consideration and no doubt will give its decision In a few days. The general business public desires to pee these men wear regulation police badges and is greatly interested in their contention for them, for any one who v knows anything about the duties of the bahk policemen realizes that they are an important factor about the institutions that employ them and that they often aid the city in many ways and therefore deserve the same consideration that is shown the regular patrolmen. Inauguration c e by the Congress deputation and other dignitaries. These all embarked with General Washington in the barge manned by thirteen pilots in white uniforms, commanded by Commodore Nicholson, and with John Randall acting as coxswain. In this wise the floating procession reached Murray's wharf, now the foot of Wall street, where a crimson carpet had been laid from the water up the ferry stairs to the carriage that awaited the general. Here Governor Clinton met Washington and welcomed and congratulated him. As he landed, all the bells in the city rang out a welcoming peal, all the cannon saluted him and the multitude In attendance cheered. Arm In arm with Governor Clinton, and followed by the throng, they went to the house that had been selected for the President. On hi3 arrival at his residence he was waited upon by the foreign ministers and numerous persons of distinction, and received their congratulations. A week elapsed before the Inauguration took place. It was the most Important and imposing ceremonial that had yet taken place on the Western continent, and the day appointed for it, April 30. was bright. A national salute ushered In the morning. Business of every kind was entirely suspended. At 9 o'clock all the bells in the steeples rang and invited the people to gather in solemn religious services to invoke the divine blessing on the new Nation and its chosen President. At noon the procession to escort General Washington from his residence to Federal Hall was formed in Cherry street. Colonel Morgan Lewis acted as marshal. The joint committee of Congress having charg- of the matter were Senators Ralph Izard, of South Carolina: Tristam Dalton. of Massachusetts; Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, and Members Egbert Benson, of New York. Charles Carroll, of Maryland, and Amos Fisher, of Massachusetts. The procession was made up of various regiments, the joint committees of Congress, the beads of departments, the foreign ministers and a long train of distinguished citizens. It marched through Pearl and Broad streets to Federal Hall, where Vice President Adams met him at the door, led him to the chair of state, and introduced him formally to the august body before which he stoood. After a moment or two the Vice President announced that the Senate and House were ready to attend while the oath required by the Constitution was administered by the chancellor of the State of New York. Washington gravely replied, "I am ready to proceed," and led by the Vice President, and accompanied by the senators, the chancellor in his robes and other men of distinction, he passed upon the baleonv that overlooked the throng filling Wall street. Washington was dressed in a suit of deep brown, of American manufacture, with metal buttons having an eagle in relief stamped upon them, white stockings, low shoos with silver buckles, his hair powdered and gathered behind In a bag. and he wore a sword. There was a large Bible on a table on the balcony resting on a crimson cushion. This was hHd up between Washington and the chancellor bv the secretarv of the Senate. Samuel Alyne Otis. Washington laid bis rieht hand on the open book and the chancellor slowly and In a clear voice repeated the oath. At Its conclusion Washington said. I swear." and added with a deen fervor noticeable to nil. "so help mo, Ood." He then stooped over and kissed the sacred volume. "It Is done." said Chancellor Livingston and turning to the throng in the street with a wave of his hand, he uttered the crv, "Long live George Washington, Fresident of the United States." The response from the people seemed nil the more tumultuous from contrast with the silence that had attended uron the administration of the oath. The national ensisrn was immediately run up from the cupola of Federal Hall, and shouts and acclamation mingled with the pealing of church bells and the firing of artillery on land and water. All the company on the bileony then retired to tho Senate chamber, where Washington read his Inaugural address. The President and the two houses of Congress, with all their officers, after the rending of the inaugural address went to church. They walked to St. Paul's chapel, where Bishop Provost, who had been elected chaplain of the Senate, read prayers ultnble for the occasion." In the evening there was a great display of fireworks and Illuminations that had been announced before.

Fireplaces and Mantels tKe Subject of TalK by Architect In the First Place, No Sitting' Room Is Complete without a Fireplace. .Originated in the Feudal Castle... All Hinds of Mantels for all Hinds of Houses

( (Olnr Tr-T-r a rn'ntil.'if fl Tvltb ITm I out a fireplace. Our Aryan an- - I . ! .1 i 1 V Air descendants never wonder thereat. The hearthstone is the sym bol of the best in human existence the family. Y'et the fireplace is less often seen than formerly or, if seen, more rarely has a fire therein. What could be more Inappropriate than snow and ice without and an . empty fireplace within, even if the room be thoroughly warmed by steam or hot water. Why this abandonment of the open fire? The housekeeper answers because it makes so much trouble carrying coal and ashes and cleaning after they are carried. The financier of the family answers that fuel used in a fireplace gives several times more heat when burned in a furnace. Yes, a fireplace is a luxury, but a valuable one. Some luxuries mean little to a family and some mean less than nothing, but no one who as a child dreamed at twilight in front of an open fire or lay stretched on the hearthrug listening to his elders discuss things which were only partially comprehended would displace the memory of those hours by any others of that period of life. And it is not the children alone to whom comes vital thought stimulated by the witchery of the fire. The fireplace is a comparatively modern institution, having been first used in the twelfth century. Before that time rooms were heated, if at all, by braziers placed on wheels, which were pushed from room to room as desired, and until the present form of stove was invented In the last century the fireplace afforded the only means of heating rooms or cooking food. In large sections of Europe stoves are yet unknown and food is still prepared in the primitive fashion. ORIGIN OF THE FIREPLACE. The fireplace originated in the feudal castle, within whose grim, walls modern family life saw its beginnings. Protected from the turmoil and suffering without, the baron's family gathered in winter about the hearthstone, cut off by necessity from the world about, and lived that intimate life which still distinguishes the home. Only one room was heated, the great hall which served every purpose save that of bedroom and kitchen, and even into which on cold nights cots were carried on which slept family, retainers and servants. These fireplaces were high affairs, often consisting of a group of two to four fires, each with a separate chimney and extending the width of the hall. They wero often large enough to hold logs six to eight feet long. It was not until the sixteenth century that smaller rooms were heated by fireplaces of more moderate size. In the great monasteries only one room other than the kitchen was heated. Into this the monks were admitted once a day to grease their sandals. The cook's place In these institutions must have been a coveted one. Nothing is more delightful than to go to sleep by the light of a dying fire. A bedroom mantle should be simple in form and refined and delicate In decoration. Too few people recognize the lasting effect made by the fittings and furnishings of a bedroom. "What you see first on opening the eyes or last before you sleep makes a deep but perhaps unconscious effect, one which carries through the most impressionable hours of the twenty-four. X'-ep the bedroom mantle simple, the shelf free from crowded ornaments and the color of the tile in harmony with the room. A mantle in hall, library, sitting room or dining room may be more elaborate than one in a bedroom, but the mistake should never be made of allowing it to dominate the room either through size, decoration, color of tile or number and character of ornaments thereon. A mantle may well be the chief motive of the room, but should never dominate It. It should be an essential part of the architectural fittings and the housekeeper's furnishings never an isolated motive.

' V. A". - . ' James Sxilll vr. Merchants National Policeman tect. It is almost impossible to find among stock mantles anything which will harmonize with a room in which it may be placed; and if one is designed especially for a house the architect should make the drawings in order to keep It In harmony with the test of the house. If he has been capable of designing the house he Is amply capable of designing the mantels. CHANGES FREQUENTLY. The proportion of wood and tile In mantels changes every few years. Twenty years ago heavy mahogany mantels with a slight band of tile and metal were universally built. To-day we are placing a wide expanse of tile within a narrow rim of wood. The latter form is certainly utilitarian. Where wood Is used close to the grate it often chars and always discolors. Artistically better results can be obtained at moderate cost w-ith the tile. Wood 63 disposed as to give good results is not inexpensive, while well-made and beautifully, colored tile may be purchased and put la position at a small cost. ' Within recent years it has become possible to buy picture tile of undoubted artistic merit, We all know the old Dutch tiles which our Puritan ancestors imported for their New England homes, tiles about which the children wove hundreds of stories. In some of our more expensive homes are now being placed especially designed tiles which are not duplicated elsewhere. In character of subject and color treatment they fit the room in which they are placed. But this takes much money on the part of the owner and undoubted artistic ability in the designer. Although tilemaking is a very old art, great improvement has been made in Its manufacture during the last fifteen or twenty years. The Babylonians and Persians made the most wonderful tile the world has ever known, but we are rapidly approaching them in beauty of texture, if not in beauty of design. Our one-toned tiles aro exceedingly beautiful. In placing tiles in a room the color of the furnishings should be decided, so that the tile may bein harmony with them. Nothing adds so much to tha repose and elegance of a room as harmony between tiles and furnishings. All this requires considerable forethought on the part of the housewife, but then house building is one long season of forethought. There Is a range of choice In texture a In color of tiles. Most people use enameled tile. They are more easily cared for thaa the unglazed variety, but the writer considers them far less artistic The soft, dead finish of an unglazed tile Is unapproachable in Its repose and elegance, and though it requires more cleaning than Its glazed or enameled brother, it Is worth the extra care. Its one serious disadvantage is that it sometimes effervesces for a time after it is put up and causes the housekeeper to despair of the future. But this period soon passes and can always be shortened by the 'proper use of acids. USE OF MIRRORS. The use of mirrors in connection with a mantel is one to be decided by the location and the furnishing of the room in which it is placed, and also by the Individual preference of the owner. It seems a pity to so use the space over the mantel when it is one of the most effective places on which to hang a picture. If you wish a picture to sink into the life of the family place it above the fireplace; but if It be not thoroughly good, hang where. It is less often seen. The best picture in the house should be in the family sitting room. Some of the moat charming and effective mantels are high ones. Those in the feudal castle reached to the ceiling and were covered with the wonderful carving which distinguished that period cf architecture. Many of these aro preserved in the museums of Europe. Such are sometimes built now, but should never be attempted unless the room in which they are placed is unusually large; otherwise, they dominate everything. At the end of a very large room nothing is more desirable than a mantel, nobly treated, which reaches well to the ceiling above a large grate. The size of the grate has much to do with the impression created by the fireplace. It Is a mistake to put a small grate in any other place than a small room. Unless the grate is commensurate with the apartment in size it gives a pinched and meagre appearance to the whole. A large frrate ma.y have a small fire in it without producing a disagreeable effect, but have the grate itself in keeping with the mantel, and the mantel with the room.
