this manner the heating surface is
brought nearer to the fire, and all

A Moving Appeal.
He was a motherless boy and his
father's only child, but some of the
relatives had decided that he should
be sent to a boy's scIujo), fifty miles
from home, aad at last the father had
agreed to the plan.
Forty-eight hours after his boy's
departure the father received a letter,
which was, although not faultless
as an example of spelling, so much to
the point, and so in accord with his
own feelings, that the plans for the
future were speedily readjusted.
"Dear father," wrote the exile,
"it's all right here and I'm not homesick

From Hiy Cage He Writes Con- ^

New York City.?After he had sue- ^
cessfully concealed a shortage in his (
accounts for five years, Charlp* T. ii
Muir. paying teller of the Forty-sec- ^
ond street branch of the Corn Exchange
Bank, went to the basement ^
of the bank and shot himself just as t
covomi riennsitnrs lined ud in front
of the receiving teller's window with
books that would reveal his wrongdoing.
Muir's neculations amounted E
to $9098.42. They began when he s
was the receiving teller of the bank, e
and probably would not have been *
discovered for months or years had he
not been promoted to become the 1
paying teller on June 1. His promo- ?
tlon made it impossible for him to t
conceal the shortages when another s
man was in his place at the receiving b
window. y
Muir died at Bellevue Hospital
shortly before noon, from the single t
wound which he made in his forehead t
with the bank's revolver. His wife 1

after he died of the self-inflicted s
wound and was prostrated. ^
The story of Muir and his derelic- r
tions appears to be that of the man
on a small salary who handled thou- C
sands.
Muir had no bad habits, according 3
to the many friends who came to the
rescue of his memory, and he lived
happily with his wife and two children
in a small and inexpensive flat a
at No. 507 West 140th street. There r
is not a single logical hint of another 1
woman in Muir's case.- 3
He entered the service of the Corn a
Exchange Bank shortly after the t
great blizzard of 1888, and In twen- to
ty years' service rose to a salary of 8
$1500 a year. r
Seven years ago he was married, f
and about the time his first child was ^
born the salary paid by the bank be- t
came too small for his needs. Then ^
he began to steal, according to his *
own confession, as found in a letter e
addressed to Manager George H. *
Frew, of the Forty-second street 1
branch. c
This letter, which was opened by
Coroner Acritelli, read as follows: $
"Mr. Frew?My accounts are short
the total amount of the tickets in this j
envelope. This has been going on
for about five years, covering shortage
by substituting new deposits for
old. I wish to say that no one in or s
out of the bank is to blame for this i
but myself. CHARLES T. MUIR." 1
The banking history of New York I
has more sensational tragedies than c
that of Muir, but none that show in 1
such vivid detail the effect upon a c
needy man of handling large sums of ?
money on a small salary.

SOUTH HONORS DAVIS. |
\
Tmi Strifes fVlohrate Our Hundredth i
Anniversary of His Birth. t
New Orleans, La.?The one hundredth
anniversary of the birth oE
Jefferson Davis was celebrated
throughout the Southern States. In 1
connection with the honors to the
late Confederate President, the
Southern Memorial Day was observed
and the day was treated as a !
whole or partial holiday in Kentucky,
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, '
Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, South
Carolina, Louisiana and Virginia. \
In Louisiana the day is a legal hoi- J
iday. It was made memorable in
New Orleans this year by the dedica- .
tion of the site here for the monu- \
ment which is to be erected to the L
memory of President Davis by the
people of the South. All of the
schools, banks and exchanges of the
city were closed. j i
At Fairview, Ky., the birthplace of
Jefferson Davis, elaborate and largely
attended exercises were held. A dinner
was served on the grounds and in c
a memorial church on the site or tne | r
log cabin in which Mr. Davi^ was j 1
born. 11
Confederate veterans were in line s
at Lexington, Ky., marching to the I
local cemetery, where the exercises i

MURDERED WOMAN'S EYES SI
Photograph Taken by Coroner to Try Theory of Fii
Impression Rotair.ed on Retina After Death
St. Louis.?Acting on an idea that 1:
has solved many murder mysteries in t
fiction, Coroner Streeper caused a r
photograph to be made of the eyes of r
the unidentified woman whose body (3
was found in the Mississippi River
near Hartford, 111. An autopsy per- i
formed on the body showed clearly t
that the* woman had been murdered, d
She was killed by a broken neck and t
her body was thrown into the water, b
Not a clue that would lead to her i
identity or to the person responsible t
for her death was obtained by the r
police. The Coroner thereupon de- t
cided to test the theory that has been r
advanced by many writers of fiction, s
as well as by several scientists, that e
the last glance of a person on the v
face of his or her murderer may be
so intense as to fix the picture of the f
murderer permanently on the eyes of a
me viciim. ?
After the photographic plates of 1:
the eyes of the woman whose body 1
was found in the Mississippi were t
made, prints were struck off, and the a
Coroner and the detectives saw what t
they believed was the face of a man t
with a hooked nose and wearing a r

There is much difference of opinion SOi
