Chicago, who wore diamond
buttons on his lavender gaiters,
was re elected president of the
the American Bankers' Associ
ation, and Mr. Logan C. Murry,
of the United States bank of
New York citv, was elected firs;
vice ]ireside||t.
President Gage took off his
♦."i< hat, laid aside his $1,000
cane aud said:
"Fellow Hankers One of the
principal questions which we
have met to consider is the la
mentahle disposition which
bank cashiers have lately shown
to run off with the funds of
their institutions." |Loiid
groans, during which one mem
her remarked: "That's so they
don't the presidents half ii
show.''| Mr. Gage continued:
"This has become so common
that many investors, particular-
ly females, have returned to the
old custom of establishing a
bank in their stockings, greatly
restricting our business oppor-
tunities. I shall be happy to
leceive suggestions on the sub-
ject from any of the members."
Banker Washington B. Wil
liams,of Newark. N. J., referred
feelingly to several former cash-
iers of that city, who are now
rusticating for various terms at
Snake Hill, and said: "Would
it not be a good Idea to chain
the cashiers to their seats and
have a couple of Piukertou's
detectives stand beside them
during business hours / Or
the cashier might be locked in
to the safe every night by the
directors ami taken out only
when business required his
presence."
Mr. Daniel Gary, of the First
National Bank,of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, dollbted the effi-
ciency of these plans. He re-
lated an instance which had oc
I'tirred in hi* city, where the
cashiei was relegated to the
cellar after banking hours ev-
ery tlay; but one morning the
Directors found out that he had
taken a trip to Old Mexico, car
rying the cellar with him. Mr.
Gary thought that the only way
to prevent such speculations
was to establish a faro bank
upstairs in every national bank
and run a stock bucket shop in
the basement of the building.
All tie* officials could thus spec-
ulate freely among themselves
aud outside parties would not
get any of the money.
There was a lively debate ov-
w
er this suggestion, and while
the interest was at its height a
man put his head in nt the door
and loudly shouted "Allnboard
for Canada."
A scene of greater excitement
ensued. Men grubbed their
satchels, stuffed rolls of hank
hills and drafts Info their pock
ets and rushed for the door.

Banker Palmer, of Atlanta,
Ga., offered a resolution "rv-
questing check-raisera to
their operations as a
favor to him, lie having lately
paid out floo.ooo on a cheek
which was raised from $100."
Little things like this," said Hr.
Palmer, "have a worrying effecl
ami should Ih* avoided by ail
bankers."
Banker Lane, of St. Loula,
asked if it were true that the
cashiers intended returning to
the tdd plan of being tied in a
suck ami beaten senseless while
their fathers in-law ruu off wltk
the banks' fuuds.
The Presideut promised to in-
vestigate the report, and than
read the following telegrams,
whicluhe had just received:

The Beauties of Cremation,
The body, covered with a
pall, is placed iu a chapel or
reception hall, whence it du-
cends noiselessly by means of
an elevator to the incinerating
chamber. This, by means of
superheated air, has been raised
to a white heat at a tempera-
ture of about 2,ooo degree*
Fahrenheit. When opeued to
receive the bodies, the inrush-
ing cold air cools this chamber
to a delicate rose tint, aud the
body, after an hour in this bath
of ros\ light, is completely de
comt>oftcd, nothing remaining
but a few pounds (about 4 per
cent, of the origiunl weight,) of
clean, pure, pearly ashes, which
