Selling a Famous Collection

PARIS, April l5.-The sale of the
Splitter collection of antiquities be-
gins today in Paris. The sale will
last two months. The collection is
estimated at a value of 100000
francs, exclusive of the arms, which
will be sold separately and are
valued at 100000 francs. No col
lection belonging to private in
diVidual has ever attained such
figures. The Splitter mansion, near
the Arc de Triomphe, has galleries
in which, as in the Louvre, objects
are arranged in glass cases and cat
alogued in order, 50 as to bring be-
fore the eyes of visitors the COM

die ages and the Renaissance. With
the exception of about thirty adj
mirable authentic terra cOttas of
Tamgra, Splitter has confined his
attention to these two periods.

on the porch of st. Paurs church until
nearly 4 O'Clock, when the procession es-

ever seen Sir. Davis; indeed, not one
was born until the war had ended. But

READY FOR BUSINESS.
PANlCS DO NOT AFFECT THEM.
Building Societies Safest Dspositories-
Profit with Security.

The recent run made on the savings
banks demonstrated this one fact, says the
Chicago Mail, that there Is in Chicago a
vast army of men and women capable of
saving money. 1t is estimated that nearly
$4,000. 900 was paid out by the banks. It's
not probable that the persons responsible
for the run would withdraw their money
from one bank and Immediately deposit II
with another. In the majority of cases the
money would find its way to the safety
deposit vaults or the proverblal stocking
whore it will remain idle for weeks and
perhaps months TO come. IL will REQUIRE
time and good management on the part of
those who have to do with the finances TO
counteract the effects Of the savIngs-bank
scare.
In order to restore confidence and create
a better feeling the attention OF the peo-
pie must be diverted from the past and di-
reoted to new channels. There is no city
in the country which offers better oppor-
tunitIes to the small investors II they will

BILE fact which IS worthy OF consideration
by this class is that of the many failures
occurring during the present year in CON-
msrcial and banking circles no alarm
has sounded against the building and
loan societies. A careful study of
the plans aud workings of these institu-
tions will show that they have encouraged
and aided thousands of people in Chicago
in building homes for themselves. No
man is so happy and contented in life a.
the one who feels that the roof over his
head Is permanent and paid for. With
this feeling of security he need have no
fears a. to the future. A small yearly out

ment.
The savings and loan association Is not
in any sense an experiment. at TINS tate
day. In this country they have stood tue
test OF half century. During the great
panic of 1878. when grent mercantiIe
establishments, manufacturing inuus-
tries, and banking institutions were swept
out OF existence. the building and loan So
cieties proved to BIO the consolation OF
thousands who had invested their llt,ie
earnings with them. since that CRITICAL
period they haye increased In numbers,
until now every town and city OF any I'M
por;ance has its building and loan society.
II is estimated that the societies dong
business in the State OF Illinois have assets
amounting 10 667 100000.
The test which the great panic OF 1873
applied was such n proof of the soundness
OF the principles of these ASSOCIATIONS that
To people who were then familiar with their
workings all question of their superiority
in the matter of solidity has since been
settled beyond tine possibility or dispute.
The plan on which the business OF these
societies Is conducted IS n perfectly safe
one. No secrets are withheld from the
members. 40 high-salared officers are
maintained, everything being managed
with a view to economy and the best IN
terests of the ASSOCIATION at large. Loans
are made ONLY 20 members, and on hrst
real-estate mortgages. While their con-
tracts may appear exacting they are at the
same TINS equitable: IN tact, the whoie
system Is founded on strictly business
principles. aud herein rests their present
strength and future security.

VERY PERPLEXlNG.
Family Relations Which Bother the Han
Interested in Them.

The strangest combination resulting
from the marriage of relatives that we have
ever heard of Is that IN the family of Lewis
Osborne, who has recently removed to
Pomona from Selma, Fresno county, says
the Pomona Progress. Mr.. Osborne tells
US that he has been ten years trying 10 un-
ravel the perpiexities of relationship that
his second marriage has caused. In 1883
he married young widow. who was his
Grandfather's third wife. The couple have
O little son.
Given tins simple statement and num-
Der of peculiar family relationships may
be dedueed. For example, Mr. Osborne is
grandchild of his wife. His son, beng
also son of his (Osborne's) grandmother,
is uncle TO his own father. Osborne be-
comes brother to his uncles and aunts,
and also stepfather TO them. The boy,
being the child of Osborne. as q grandson,
is thereby 0 grest-grandson of his own
mother. While his father may rejoice IN
the title OF great-grandfather to his own
child.
Thus the boy became granduncle to
himself and his parents great-grand-
child. Osborne is the boys father and
great-grandfather at the same time. and,
being the husband of his own grand
mother. enjoys the distinction Of being his
own grandfather a. well.
Osborne's mother married man named
Blake. and his sister married o brother-in-
law OF her mother. Henry Blake. Os-
borne's sister becomes o sister to her own
mother. Mrs. Blake being 0sbornes
mother, ii grandmother tn Osborne's son.
The latter, however. being the son of
the wife of Mr.. Biake's father-in-law, is.
therefore. a brother TO his grandmother
and grsnduncle to his grandmother's SIS
ter. the daughter who married Mrs.. Blake's
brsther-in-isw. He also is her nephew. as
the sen OF her brother. Osborne is the
youngest Mrs. BiaAs's grandfather as well
as her brother. Thus her nephew, Os-
borne's son. becomes uncle to bis aunt,
being son OF her grandmother. The Sc
RES OF relationships may be likewise traced
almost indefinitely. The family IL happy
and contented, aud lives IS pleasantly az
though the peculiar family tics were not
present.
