ERIE BUILDING AND LOAN.


HaNHa q. -
A Quarterly Report-some Interesting
Recommendations.
The Erie Building and Loan Association.
will hold a regular meeting for the pay
ment OF dues tonight at Booraem Hall,
No. 116 Newark avenue. The regular
quarterly meeting will be held at the same
time.
The report of the association for the

ceipts from all sources to be $31 ,482. SO.

ton, S., ia. The profits were $4,250. 80,

ceived $685. 50 as interest.
The association is said to be one of the
most successful in the State, the first
series, which has been in existence
twenty-one months, having made q profit
of So 81 per share. The management of
the association is very conservative. Its
secretary in the last report of the Bureau
of Labor and Statistics advocated sworn
statements by all associations at stated
periods, and he also favors the appoint
ment of officers with power to examine
the finances of any association at any
time, and the giving to such officers Of
power to recommend to the Attorney
General proceedings to wind up any as
ISOLATION not properly managed. He
would have the State bear the expense of
these officials. He also suggests the
adyisability of limiting the amount of
money which an association may borrow
to ten per cent. of the amount Of dues
actually paid. The officers of the Erie
Association:-President S. H. Horgan:
a John H. Freeman; secretary
and solicitor, James r.. Bowen; and chair
man of the. Board of Management, Patrick
McArdla.

fully concentrated upon the subject of

take no notice of surrounding circum-
stances. AT one time, travelling be-
tween Bangor and Boston, as the con
ductor of tho train, passing through

Fleeing Hungry joe"

1t was a common expression of
Hungry Joe" that n new sucker is
born every minute, and he freely
boasted that there was not q man on
earth that he could not rob at bunco
if he once made up his mind to do it.
But Hungry Joe" was not SO cum
ming but what he could be taken in at
his own game. Several years ago a
clever confidence man who was en-
tirely unknown to the New York
gang arrived in Gotham from the
west, fell in with Hungry Joe" and
permitted himself to be heeced to the
extent of 81, 500. Then he told
Hungry Joe" that he was n rich
stock raiser from ABILENE, Kan, on
his way to Europe to be treated for
sore eyes. AS Hungry Joe" had
won all his money, no asked him to
help place q mortgage on his stock
ranch. Joe telegraphed the banks at
Abilene, giving a full description of
tho man and the fact that he had
asked for a loan. Ehe banks replied
that the man was perfectly good, and
Hungry Joe" and his gang advanced
the stranger 49, GOO, taking a chattel
mortgage. 1t was several weeks later
when they discovered that they had
been victimized and that the genuine
stockman was really in Europe, while
the man who got their money was only
n clever confidence operator from Dem

school and Cottage Attendnnec,

A table is given showing the attend
ance upon the colleges and scientific
schools of the country during the years
1876 and 1SS5-S6, and the ratio
which such attendance bore TO the
population at those dates. During the
ten years there was n decrease of nine
in the number of colleges, and an in
crcaso of ten in the number of scicn-
tiic schools. The attendance upon
the colleges at the later date was 7,O72
greater than at the earlier period. The
percentages of increase were 81 and 2S
respectively, while the estimated in
crease of population during the same
ten years was %.
a comparative view of tho relation
OF students to population by divisions
shows an increase in the number of
students as compared with population
for colleges alone, and for both col
leges and scientific schools, in the
North Atlantic and North Central
divisions of the country, and n de-
crease in tho three remaining sections.
1t Is only fair to remark that in MAX
ing the computations for the south the
colored population is included, and
tins brings the ratios of students to
population down TO / to 2,4S9 and 1 to
1850 respectively in tho two divisions
Of the south. II the blacks are ex-
cluded from the computation, the
ratios of students in colleges to popu-

Anether .nrodern sam.on.-

There is a broad shouldered, dark
compleKioned man in Chelsea who, it
is claimed, is the strongest man in the
county, if not in the state. He has
been a physical giant from boyhood.
When q mere youth he used to amuse
himself by lifting a barrel of flour,
putting it on his shoulder and carry
ing it around the block. Later he
would shoulder a barrel of sugar and
carry it up two flights of stairs and
bring it down again, just for the fun
Of the thing.
When he was 81 years of age he
celebrated his coming of age by lifting
a set of quarry cart wheels, including
axle and pole, and Juggling the whole
lot, weighing LOO pounds, a quarter
of a mile. After that his feats of
strength were numerous. He held
two men, weighing 100 pounds each,
at arms length, holding one on each
hand. Bending big crowbars and
pulling up sapling trees six inches
through by the roots were ordinary
pastimes for this young Samson.
The browning feat of his life hap
pened a few years ago, when he was a
carpenter and worked on a new block
then building in Chelsea. The work
men had been trying to hoist q big
iron girder into its place on the second
story. The girder had square edges
and weighed l 800 pounds. The ropes
which had been placed around it were
cut in two by the sharp edges as soon
as tho tackle was hauled taut. Eli.
nally, in desperation, the foreman
sent for a chain. While the man was
gone Mr.. Houston shouldered the
girder and took it up the ladder and
placed it in position.
ut hurt my shoulders some" said
he, when telling of his performance,
''but outside of that 1 felt no inconven-
fence. l have never lifted in harness,
and do not know how much l could
take up, but 1 have an idea that 1 could
lift as much as DIR. Winship ever did
if l tried. / am n workingman and
have no time for such fooling." His
muscles are as hard as knots, and he
looks the picture of manly strength
and muscular perfection. = Boston

Saved by Ills Heel.

Alderman-elect w. II. Durfee had
as close a call to death rs any man
who ever lived TO tell of it. For ten
minutes he stood over q blast contain
ing forty pounds of dynamite, which
a workman was trying to explode by
means of a battery. Mr.. Durfee's heel
grounded the wire at the mouth of the
drill hole and thereby saved him from
being blown to pieces. He was en-
gagged to repair the boiler of the hoist
ing engine at the H~argraves ledge.
He walked out to the ledge TO look
around. 1t vas dusk, and the cutters
had knocked off work for the night.
He climbed down into the hollow of
the ledge and stood looking at a piece
of newly cut granite. The curious
fracture of the stone attracted him.
He stood still for several moments to
make out its outline in the growing
shadows.
Suddenly looking up, he saw a man
creeping toward him on his hands and
knees. He approached in a straight
line. Over the fragments he crept to
where Mr.. Durfee stood. He ran his
hand along the rock and struck Mr..
Durfee's boot. Then he staggered to
his feet and clutched Mr.. Durfee's
arm. "Horrorr" he gasped, as the
truth flashed upon him. you are
standing upon forty pounds of dyna-
mite in a blast in this rock, and 1 have
been working the battery for ten min
utes in vain trying to explode it.
Your boot has grounded the wire."e
