Carpenters for San Francisco Scas

For some - s. past Psstiss IN this city
have been hold Ag out Inducements to brick
LAYERS and carpenters to 20 to san Francisco
TO work on III. Palace Hotel, now being
erected in that city. The bricklayers who
were fools enough to jump at the halt offered,
have been eggregiously fooled-as we learn
from our San Francisco correspondent and
exchanges Doe, it stand to reason that any
company can affom to transport 100 men from
Chicago to the Pacific coast free Of charge
simply to secure from them lev months
work The idea Is too prePosterous to be
entertained for loment. and men who are
fools enough to accept the terms offered, Will
find to their sorrow that they have been We
timized. San Francisco has all the brick
LAYERS and carpenters she needs, and the me

Building and Loan Associations.

| These institutions are organized with the
view of extending to the borrower and the
lender of money, the greatest possible al
vantage. At first glance 1t would generally
be denied that there was any mutual or com
mon interest arising out Of the transaction
the lender usually being regarded as Shy
lock and the borrower the victim yielding up
his very life blood to satisfy the insatiate de-
mand for interest
But these associations tremendously com
bine these two apparently antagonlstlc ele-
| ments in society and cause both the borrow
er and lender to labor zealously for their mu-
| tual success.
For such persons as may be able to lay
aside few dollars per week or month, there
is no system whereby their savings can be
placed so as to earn great a rate OF interest
as this, and at the same time hold so perfect
security.
For such persons as may have already ac-
cumulated bv careful economy small sums OF
money, which, for safety, they place IN saw
ings bank, receiving six per cent. thereon,
while the bank is loanng it out at more than
double the rate this is system by which
they are let in ON the foundation, and are
enabled not only to secure the six per cent
interest but also nearly all the surplus OF
earnings above this which is reserved by the
bank
In word by a combination Of interest tue
depositor becomes, to certain extent, his
own banker, participating IN all the pronts
derived from lending ms money. Alone, 1t
is not possible for person to put to use small
sums Of money on real estate security, 50 as
to obtain the full value OF its earnings but
BY the combination of interests which his
system affords he becomes, at once, a lender
on real estate securities, and full participant
in the commissions, premiums, and interest,
which constitute the earnings and dividends
of the banking institutions Of the country.
The capital stock Of these associations usu-
ally consists of shares Ot one OF two hundred
dollars each Persons becoming connected
with an association, subscribe for such num-
Der Of these shares as they think they can
carry. The savings are paid in in small in
stalments on these shares, and the money
thus accumulated is offered at stated periods,
for loan-the parties borrowing paying ten
per cent interest monthly and such premium
may be necessary to obtain the preference
Of the money, over and above other bidders.
Real Estate security is given, and the pa
pers prepared by careful attorneys. When
ever the earnings and the instruments togeth-
er, equal the par value Of the stock in any
series, the whole is divided among the stock
holders
To young man or woman able to save
something from weekly OF monthly income,
no better and safer way, and none so profitable
as this system offers. 1t is difficult to con
vince people Of the rapid rate at which small
savings put TO use IN these associations ac-
cumulate. Suffice it to say, that with or
binary good management, the result will sur
prise the most incredulous

THE SAVINGS BANK OF CHICAGO
The Illinois Trust Savings Bank,


The advantages at Savings Banks to the Ia
dustrial Glasses have long been demonstrated
The millions of dollars which they hold be-
longing to the small but thrifty business men
and women, and the frugal and industrious Of
our working population, is an evidence Of
their usefulness and beneficiary results The
summer is now at hand, and with it has come
a renewal of work our mechanics and labor
srs, our working women. store clerks-male
and female are row beginning to receive
regular and remunerative pay In the day Of
their prosperity we would kindly suggest to
them the propriety of providing against a
day Of adversely and intead II spending
their surplus earnings in useless gew -gaws
they select some safe and reliable institution
wherein to deposit their spare dollars, and re-
ceive therefor fair rate Of interest the first
step toward securing an independence.
In this connection we take pleasure in men
tioning the claims Of the ILLINOIS Trust
AND SAVINGS BANK, situated at I22 and l24
$. Clark streets, which has proven itself one
Of the soundest and most reliable IN the city
The money Of its depositors is always secure
ly and profitahly invested, which enables the
managers to pay fair rate Of interest to its
patrons. The character Of the President as
an able and cautious fin ancier is anquestion-
ed, while the Cashier and other attaches Of
the Bank are men Of undoubted business
qualifications.

The SPIRIT OF THE TIMEs.-A few days
ago man of respectable appearance was
seen to take whip from buggy near the
corner of Madison sAd Clark streets. Up
on being sccosted by a policeman, he ex-
pressed his desire to 60 to the station house
and answer for his crime. On the fol-
lowing morning he was brought before the
Police Justice, charged with larceny. In
reply to question why he stole the whip,
he said because could find nothing to
do could not live on nothing" evil
thirty days accommodate you" blandly
asked the judge. Eyes, sir, Il" as blandly re-
Piled the criminal, Much Obliged for the
sentence" as he tripped down stairs a.
gaily as bridegroom on his marriage tour.

tie episode.

CITY MATTERS

A PLEASANT TINE AND PLEASANT PARTY.
In our last, we omitted to mention that the
officers of the Caledonian Society had a pic
mic all to themselves, and few united guests,
at CAledonian Park, on Saturday, Sept. 5th.
The day was one Of unallOyed enjoyment.
The usual games were INDUCED in, and con
tested. The awards leather medals, are highly
treasured by the victors, all of whom claim
they will hand them down as heir looms 70
their Administrations, of course, are not
included in this category. The day was made
for the occasion, the sports were hugely en-
ioyed---the refreshments !" had q stimulat'
ing effect, the piper played his best, the
lassies danced with glee, and what is better
than all, everybody was in good humor, and
left the grounds highly pleased with the
days entertainment.

the beginning of last week, took place
on Saturday last in London His re-
mains were deposited in Westminster
Abbey-a distinguished honor and
only conferred upon Britain's most IL
iustrOus statesmen, generals, phloso-
pliers, and poets. Livingstone wss a
Scotchman by birth, and had spent at
least one-third Of his life in Southern
Africa in the attempt to discover the
true sources Of the river Nile. His
life has been perfect romance Of its
kind. He died many months ago in
the swamps of the country which he
loved to visit, and his body would
seem to have been preserved by some
peculiar process by the natives, who
honOred and loved him because he
was always their kind and generous
friend. lie achieved greatness and
earthly immortality in his peculiar
sphere OF action and his honOrcd name
will pass into history as the most dar-
