Government Postal Savings
Z. Bank.

| q
A bill has been introduced in Congres.
.hs. provides for the establishment of Z
savings bank by the government with ev
cry r. II. whose income from the post
Office reaches Fl, 900 . year, provided ap
licati0n il made for that purpose. An.
individual deposltiny, is to receive . pei
, cent interest when his deposits rea ch $2j
when placed subject to 80 days notice bs
fore checking it out. 1t also provides TO
the issuing of 3.65 bond in denomination
Of $25, so, 800 and $500, which woult
not only prove convenient, but safe invest
ment for the savings Of persons of moder
ate means.
This bill has really many commsndable
features, and should it become law, woulc
doubtless become ameasure of relief. from
the hardships that have heretofore occur
red from the failure Of the savings institu
tions that have become 50 numerous ol
late. Security is The main thing demand.
ed, and could the government be made the
custodian Of the small earnings or saving.
of the industrious and prudent, sense of
security would prevail greater than tic
present bank system now causes.
One objection arises as to the policy OF
the government becoming involved in the.
increased responsibility that the institu
tion of many banks would occasion.
But Secretary Chase when necessity re-
quirsd, made the government = bankers
and proved to the world, any promise to
pay, even was ~ effective for
tn m,jor business transactions, as if there
was gold dollar re sting in the vault to
redeem it, and this was tho fssult Of conf.
dence. S.
1t il impossible in the varied and enor-
nous money transactions that arise in a
ration Of such vast resources and wealth
to conveniently and appropriately conduct
its business without some head center,
some place Of trust, some depository other
than that of the owners own person, no:
only for the safety OF person and life, but
for aiding in accumulations in saving. 1t
is human nature to yield more readily
to the temptation to buy what might be
dispensed with, if one carries his money
about his person, and this fact is what has
induced the thousands Of individuals to
patronizs ban king institutions.
From the ten cents to the dollar deposit
many person has laid the foundation for
\ fortune. The necessity for exchange and
accommodation to borrowers also has, and
will cause the maintenance Of At least
banks for exchange and deposit, should
banks of issue be abolished. u
Confidence must and will be placed
somewhere, but could the above mentioned
bill or its equivalent be framed into law,
and Uncle Sam to be made the banker for
those Of small means, it would not only
prove secure and safe medium, but it
would foster and encourage disposition
to save the dimes that are more often spent
foolishly than through necessity.

A Plucky Constable.

Last Friday the house of Z liot Smith in
Glare Con, was entered during the absence
of the family and considerable amount of
jewelry and clio hing taken. A party OF
tramps was suspected and search was made
for tn m. On Saturday, Nathaniel Lord,
constable of Shrewsbury, discovered q
party of four tramps camped 10 some
bushes near the railroad, half mile from
East Wallingford. Hesuspected they were
the ones he wanted and going up to them
engaged in conversation, they not suspect.
ing that he was anything more than q
farmer. Suddenly he drew revolver and
covering the tramps, said: "See here, I'm
an officer of the law and am going TO ar.
rest you for stealing. l want you all to
walk right along onto that track. The man
that shows the least resistance will be shot.
Start on" The tramps looked the matter
over and not relishing the dinner of cold
lead they we're likely to get by refusing,
they marched on before Constable Lord to
East Wallingford, half mile. There they
were put ON board the train, taken to CLAIR
endon before d. Q. Combs, justice, and
tried. A search of their persons revealed
q vest and pair OF pants belonging to MIR.
Smith. The result of the trial was that
two of the tramps, giving their names as
John Higgins and George Wilson were
bound up in the sum of $50 each to appear
at the county court, and failing to find ball,
were brought on and committed. The
other two were discharged.

miss Mutton" at the Town Hall

The Ada Gray troupe performed "Miss
Mutton, the great dramatic success OF the
season, at the town hall Saturday evening.
Considered as material for fine acting of
the emotional type, "Miss Mutton" is one
Of the finest plays on the stage. 1t is essen
TALLY star piece, Miss Mutton being on
the stage almost continually, and II abounde
in thrilling scenes. The heroine passes
through the most skillhlly devised series
OF strong situations for displaying contend
ing emotions imaginable. AS a piece of
heart torture 1t is as much beyond "East
Lynne" as that drama Is beyond @ light
comedy. The story is essentially that of
EAST Lynne" but 1t begins at point
reached by the third act OF that play,
where the first wife returns to her husbands
house as governess to her own children.
From this time on 1t is an agony. The
children are continually prattling of their
mamma, the second wife takes great fancy
to her and is continually pouring into her
ears the story of "that horrible first
Madame de Latour," and to add to her
perplexities Monsieur Belin, TO whom che
revealed herself on first entering the house,
is In a state OF intense nervous excitement
on her account and Is continually on the
verge of betraying her secret. Surely moth
ing more skillful could have been devised
TO produce suffering or to give opportunity
for the display of fine emotional powers.
Ada Grays rendition of the role was al
ways satisfactory. Possessed of fine
stage presence, deep and well trained and
powerful voice and good degree Of facial
expression, she 10 admirably suited for the
part. The tremendous demands on the
physique of the actress were no burden to
her. She was particularly good in her
scenes with the children and with the sec
ond wife before her discovery. Her fren-
zied address to the picture Of her husband
In the second act, her ~ am woman who
have suffered" and 81 am FERNANDO In
the third act were admirably done. The
support was good and the performances
merits very much larger house than It re-
ceived. 'Miss Mutton" will be repeated
this evening with farce in which Miss
Gray appears. All who enjoy fine acting
should not fail to attend as this Is the finest
dramatic performance of the season.
