THE BANK WITH THE LARGEST
CAPITAL,

From the Virginia City Nevada, Chronicle
The Bank of Commerce of the City of
New York has recently reduced its cap;-
tai from $40, 1000, 900 to $5,O0O,000. THIS
action on the part of that old and con-
servative organization leaves the Bank of
Nevada, of San Francisco, the wealthiest
banking corporation in theU nited States.
1t also shows that banking IS in greater
demand on this coast than at the Eaat.
The capital of the Bank of Nevada is now
$10,OOO,000 held by five individuals,
Messrs. Flood, O'Brien, Mackey, and Fair
each own 23, $50 OF the shares or S2,375,-
600 of the stock, and Louis McLane,
the President, 5000 or $50O,O0O of the
stock. The only bank on the Continent
exceeding it is the Bank of Montreal,
whose capital is $12,000,00O. The Mer-
chants Bank of Montreal ranks next to
Nevada bank, with a capital of Sc, ,O00, 900
The Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany of Savannah, Ca, has capital of
$7,500,000. There are three banks In
New York with capital of $5,5OO.O0
each. The united capital of the Bank
of Nevadada and the Bank of California
Offsets these three.

THE EXAMPLE or F1RANCE .zT1HB
.4 CENT,ENNI4L.yttlH r. -.-

OF all foreign countries, Great Britain
was foremost by the completeness, and
the cordialfty with which the Invitation
OF the Centennial Commission was met.
The regrettable speech in which Senator
Sumner urged that England would resent
being asked to participate in the celebra-
tion OF her own humiliation and defeat,
would appear to have appealed strongly
to the manhood of that noble nation. In
every way and in every place the official
representation of Great Britain at the
Centennial of American Independence
whether in Fairmount Park or at Inde-
pendence Hall on, July 4th, while the
grandson of Richard Henry Lee read out
the Declaration and the bands PLAYED
Yankee Doodle, was thoroughly worthy
and dignified. The British Commission
ers bore themselves, from first to last, as
II they had warm interest in the success
of the EXHIBITION, and rendered to the
Administration a'hearty and sympathetic
support on every occasion of embarass-
ment or difficulty. Tosay the conduct of
'the mother country" was Complimentary
to the United States, is to say the least
thing that could be said. 1t was more
and better 1t was honorable to herself,
and did honor to the community of ma
tions. i''
From the French and German Govern
ments, however, no such generous recog-
milton was obtained. The Commission
er-General of France did not come to the
country at all and while he has diploma
tically disavowed the outrageous imputa-
tions contained in letter attributed by
general report to him, his influence was
Enthusiastically disparaging, if not actively
hostile throughout. Nor was the authority
OF M. du Sommerard delegated in a man
ner to give dignity to the Exhibition, nor
was it used to add to its harmony

the growing Of strawberries, raspberries
blackberries, pears and grapes. OF these
the strawberry industry is the largest. -
The settlement produces all its food ex-
cept grain, and meat. The cottages of
HammantOn are nestled among 0,000
pear trees, 10000 apple trees, 6,000 peach
trees 500 acres of strawberries, 500 acres
of blackberries, 400 acres of cranberries,
300 acres Of raspberries and 100 acres of
grapes.
AN AGRICULTURAL MINT.
Most ofthe fruit is sent to Philadelphia.
For seven consecutive days, last year,
seven car loads of Strawberries were sent
to market every day. Hammonton pays
the Camden and Atlantic Railroad about
$4,000 year for freight on fruit alone
The strawberry shipping season begins
about the LIST of June, continuing for
three weeks; then comes the raspberry
season, followed by the blackberry, and
this, in turn, by the grape and pear. Thus
for five months, from the 1st Of June uu-
til the LIST of October, there is an uninter-
rupted stream of luscious fruit flowing
out of HammontOn. just now the straw
berry fields are dotted with women and
children, picking the fruit, but they are
not the women and children of Hammon-
ton, for you find these at home and in
school, rehned, well-dressed and differing
in their manners and customs from the
city aristocracy only in being types of
that health and happiness resulting from
rural pleasures and from exercise usefal
to the household as well as to the body.
Unlike Vineland, where the contrast be-
tween the rich and the poor, the educated
and the less-inforned, is comparatively
great, Hammonton is decidedly high-ton-
ed throughout, and nearly every parlor
mas It's piano or organ, every house its
little library and every child its love of
poetry and flowers The pickers refer
red to are Germans, principally from Egg
Harbor City, and about eight hundred of
these hardy people are now employed in
the Hammonton fields. In addition to
its five school houses Zone being a High
SCHOOL,, and two weekly newspap pers-the

not policeman in the place, and only
one constable, who, by the way, would
be obliged to emigrate for living if his
bread and butter depended upon the
number of occasions occurring for the
suppression of crime. The government
is vested in Town Council, whose pres

TWO LADIES OUTRAGED BY
TR AMDC

The Greensburg, Pa, Democrat says ::
On Saturday night, about midnight, three
tramps forced an entrance into the resi-
dence OF widow lady named Elder, a
short distance below Latrobe, and after
maltreating the old lady in terrible
manher, seized one of her daughters and
dragged her some distance from the house
where her person was brutally outraged
by the wretches, who left her insensibIe.
Another daughter, who was sleeping up
stairs, made her escape and gave the
alarm to the neighbors, who turned out
and succeeded in capturing three parties
at the freight depot in Latrobe at an ear
ly hour. They were overheard recount
ing their respective experiences in the
outrage. --f.. .....r -.

Slaves of Debt.

,,' u would be curious speculation to in
,quire how long the people of Europe will
be likely to endure the enormous load
of debt under which they are now groan.
ing. No one believes that the principal
of the European debts can ever be paid,
and the war system goes on year by year
adding to both principal and interest. II
these frequently recurring wars do moi
soon come to and end it will be impossi.
BILE to pay even the Interest of these debts
Then the great powers of the world will
be reduced to the condition of Turkey
and be compelled to repudiate, and if
they go to war at all carry it on in Grip
Piled and inefficient way. The only use
of their intolerable debts that any one
can see is to compel the nations finally
to keep the peace.
At present. however, the people of Eu-
rope are slaves of debt. All the fruits of
their toll 60 to pay the interest on their
enormous national obligations. A condi-
tion of debt like this is oppressive to all
true freedom and manliness. There is
no form of slavery more oppressive to ma
tions or individuals than that of debt.
Without it the sword alone would not be
able to keep in subordination TO mon
archical rule the vast populations of Eu-
rope.
The American people should take time
ly warning from European example. The
national debt which now exists here
should be paid off as soon as possible. We
should see to it, also that no form of
debt shall ever again be allowed to press
upon our people. For this purpose let us
avoid, as we would slavery and ruin, the
of sectional animosities by
the fanatics and malignant politicians,
whose evil counsels, if followed up,
would involve us again in sectional and
perhaps civil war.

GOLD MINING IN GEoRGIA.-At the
present time there are over five hundred
stamps at work within few miles of
Dahienega, and one of these mines, hav-
ing a battery of five stamps only, yields
from twenty to twenty-five ounces of gold
per week, an average of 5000 per week, or
Sl2o per stamp. The mill is run by a
small engine, which pumps its water
from the mine, affording water for wash
ing also. The mill frame stands imme-
diately over the shaft, which is now about
ninety-feet deep, aad the ore is said to
grow richer as the shaft descends. In
this mine the quart. yields from ST. to So
per ton, and the cost of mining, crushing
and amalgamating is only twenty five or
thirty cents per ton. 1910

WHAT a PERTLITTLE. GIRL SAID.
From the Washington star.

Secretary Sherman is pursuing vigor-
ously the policy of making discharges
where there are more than one of
family employed in the Treasury Depart
ment. He is infexible in his purpose
and makes no exceptions. Said pert
little girl to-day, who will have to 90, or
her big brother, ''if Mr.. Hayes should
adopt Secretary Sherman's' policy in
administering the affairs of the Govern
ment in general the country woald soon
lose the services of financier or a GEN
eral of the army" She might have added
that it would also have necessitated the
resignation OF John E. Sherman nephew
OF the Secretary, who now holds the lu-
crative office of Marshal of New Mexico.

LABORERS THREATEN VIOLENCE

New ORLEANS, June Con Tuesday
the Administrators adopted an ordinance
that all city work should be done by con-
tract. To-day large number of labor
ers assembled in front of the City Hall,
using harsh language and threatening
violence, but finally dispersed after adop-
ting a resolution requesting the Mayor
not to sign the contract ordinance. The
laborers apprehend the employment of
negroes if the contract system prevails.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A FRUIT VILLAGE.
A VISIT TO THE GEM OF THE
JERSEYS.
A MODEL FRUIT VILLAGE.


Eighteen years ago Mr.. R. ]. Burns,
now Associate Judge of the Atlantic
county IN. J.) court, built for himself a
dwelling near the Camden and Atlantic
railroad, thirty miles from Philadelphia.
Discovering the healthfulness of the eli
mate aud the extraordinary fitness of the
soil for producing such fruits as are rails
ed in other parts of Jersey and in Della
ware, he made known these advantages
to his friends in New England, and soon
afterwards had for his neighbOrs about a
dozen thrifty Yankees and their families.
This settlement formed the nucleus of
what is now Hammonton, the largest and
most thrifty agricultural town in New
Jersey except Vineland. Hammonton
contains nearly two thousand inhabi-
tants, mostly natives of New England or
their descendants. Its dwellings, about
six hundred in number, are scattered
over an area of eighteen square miles,
snugly located in the midst of shade,
flowers and fruit patches, on farms of
from five to sixty acres in extent. The
buildings are all of wood, most of them
being admirable specimens of rural ar
chitecture. Perhaps a poor man could
not be found residing in the town. They
have all turned pears and Strawberries
into gold. As an instance of the increase
in the value of the land and of the profits
of fruit growing, Mr.. Colwell's farm of
thirty-six acres may be mentioned. Fif-
teen years ago it was bought at twenty
dollars an acre, and eleven years later
the owner sold it to Mr.. Colwell for ten
thousand and five hundred dollars, or
about two hundred and ninety-two dol
lars an acre. Last years income from
this land was about three thousand dol
lars, or nearly thirty-three and one half
per cent of the original investment. Mr.
ColwelPs Bartlett pear orchard of one
thousand trees is one of the largest in
Jersey and netted him over one-half his
income for last year. The township,
which bears the name of the town, con
tains forty-two square miles of land,
twenty-four of which are covered with
tree stumps and underground, just as the
original Yankee settlers found the now
cultivated tract in 1860. But this untill-
ed ground is quite as productive as the
other, and the broken merchant need on
ly secure a portion of it, which he can
do as cheaply now as the early settlers
obtained theirs, in order to insure for
himself and his family health and indie
pendence.
