FINGERPRINTS FOR

BAriKSSUCCESSFUL Experiment Here For NonScript Depositors Found to Be Practical. Experiments with the "French" finger print system for the identification of signatures of persons who are unable to write their own names have proved to be a great success, was the statement made today by President A. D. Gayle of the First National Bank. A specially prepared non acid erasable ink of medium thickness is poured out on a peculiar dark stone, appearing similar to the oil seen on a honing stone, and from one to three fingers of the right hand of the person whose in tended signature is to be taken, are lightly laid on this wet surface. The check, draft or note to be signed being properly made out, the fingers are placed at the right hand, lower corner of the instrument, leaving a very distinct impression of the eperdimical ekin of those fingers, exactly where the normal writing person would sign thir own name. This quickly dries out and being non erasable th permanent identification feature is resultant. Prints Kept On File. As a rule the finger prints of all depositors who are unable to write, are readily obtained when their disposition as such depositors has been ascertained, and placed on file among the many already circulating names of existing depositors. Prior to this wonderful and valuable discovery, the signatures of non-scripts was represented by an "X" mark so made by the maker of a check, draft or note, and then the bank official would write ttt the persons name immediately under it. This latter method resulted in many similar repetitions, which were difficult of interpretation and identification, causing an unusual amount of anxiety to financial institutions all over this and foreign countries. By the new French system these institutions and their employes are secured and protected immeasurably. Thousands and thousands of dollars have been saved yearly by the introduction of j this unfailing system. A Microscope Is Used. In the event a reproductive print of certain fingers cannot be made out at first glance, a finely graded miscroscope shows to the eye the fine lines, curves and circles of those fingers. No two fingers have lines wholly similar any more than there are two human beings wholly alike. For illustration President Gayle's finger prints showed lines that ended in small circles, one circle in each of the fingers, while the lines of a reporter were merely crescent shaped. To definitely identify the particular finger, the lines are counted, being very clear under the highly penetrative glass. Any irregularities, such as cuts or scars stand out in relief when under the miscoscope, perfectly distinguishing such fingers from those not so affected. Foreigners, who have not been in the country long enough to write in English and some who cannot write their names in their native language and Americans wh obelong to the latter class, comprise the whole of the class of depositors who use the finger print system. LIST OF GRIEVANCES I (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 16 With the ; exception of the Indianapolis, Columbus and Southern traction company, officials of the Indiana traction lines have decided to ignore the list of grievances presented to them by a committee of trainmen representing the "Three Star" union, a newly organized association of motormen and conductors, whose present strength is unknown owing to secret methods of the organizers. Sunday morning at 4 o'clock is the time limit set by the petitioners for an answer to demands for increased wages, restoration of men alleged to have been discharged for joining the union, a nine hour working day and increased crews on pasenger trains carrying express and merchandise consisting of more than one car. The Indianapolis, Columbus and Southern merely promised an answer later on. Confidence Well Founded. The implicit confidence that many people have in Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is founded on their experience in the use of that remedy and their knowledge of the many remarkable cures of coll diarrhoea and dysentery that U has effected.

Charlton Taken

Porter Charlton, as he boarded the liner for Italy. Charlton successfully fought extradition for three years, but on Thursday he left New York for Italy, in the custody of two Italian deputies. In Italy he will be tried for the death of his wife, whose body was found In a trunk at the bottom of Lake Como, near the villa occupied by the young couple. Charlton confessed, after being arrested as he stepped from the liner on which he had fled, and since has been confined in the Hudson County Jail in Jersey City. Captain Henry H. Scott, of the United States Army, a brother of the murdered woman, brought about Charlton's arrest and was mainly responsible for his extradition. Charlton was in a happy mood when going abroad. A few days before sailing he told his friends he would return to eat Christmas dinner with them.

FREIGHT WATCH

E Railroad Traffic Officials Meeting For Purpose of Lining Up Rates. Local freight men and shippers are watching with much interest the proceedings of the meeting of the railroad traffic officials being held in Chicago for the purpose of effecting a general lining up of the freight rates between the east and west coast of the country. While none who are attending the conference will disclose what has been done, it is stated that a general levision of the divisions and rules will be made. This is taken to mean that tariffs will be advanced where possible. The tariffs considered are principally those covering shipments through to the coast but no consideration is being given to intermediate changes. The steamship competition by way of the Panama canal, which will soon be one, is also considered. ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS APPEAL TO HOUSE . (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.

TURNED THE JOKE. Romieu's Fun With the Watchmaker Was Spoiled In the Windup. The French critic, musician and government official. Roiuieu. wns fond of joking. One of bis diversions amusing, but not to be commended was to go into some shop where be thought he was not known and perplex the shopmen by his questions and remarks. One evening he had taken a good deal of wine when he went into a little watchmaker's shop and. assuming tbe accent and air of a countryman, said: "Sir. what do you call those little machines hanging there?" "Watches." replied the shopkeeper. Whnt are they for?" "To indicate the time.' "Really? I have heard of them. How mnch do they cost?" "Here is one for 200 francs and one for 100 francs, and here are some for 50 and 25 francs." "Are there printed directions about making them go?" "No; they have to be wound up every day with a key." "Will yon show me how. sir?" "This way. You see it Is not difficult." "And must one wind It in the evening or in the morning?" "You must, wind yours In the morning." "Why In the morning?" "Because in the evening yon are usually drank, M. Romieu. and might break it." Working the Mines of the Rand. That Africa, with its millions of idle negroes, should snffer from scarcity of labor seems to the outsider incredible, but it Is a fact that the securing and distribution of labor Is tbe most vital factor in the economic life of the continent south of the equator. It has been estimated that tbe Rand pays $300,000 a year to recruit the contingent from Portuguese East Africa alone, this sum covering only tbe ex pense of getting tbe "boys" from their homes and back again. A nonsalaried recruiter gets $3 for every boy he persuades to go to the mines. It Is by supplying tbe Rand with 50.000 to 60.000 boys annually that tbe province of Mozambique draws directly and indirectly by far the larger part of its revenue. Toward the latter part of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's life he rarely left his house and garden, and preferred to see his friends and acquaintances by appointment. Woe betide the too intrusive stranger.

Pizarro, Va. "I suffered for several Tears," writes Mrs. Dorma A. Smith, ''with that awful backache and the bearing down sensations, so fully described in your book. "I tried doctors and other medicines and found little relief, until I was induced to try Wine of Cardui, when I found instant relief and today I can heartily recommend Cardui to all suffering women and th'nk there is no other as good." In some instances, Cardui gives instant relief; in others, it may take a little time. But in all cases of female trouble Cardui can be depended on to be of benefit, as it is a specific remedy for women and acts in a curative way on the womanly organs. As a general tonic for women, to buDd op your strength, improve your appetite, bring back rosy cheeks and make you look and feel young and harpy, nothing you can find will do so much for you as Cardui.
