AUSTRALIAN BANKING METHODS.

STRALiAN BANKING METHODS.
NEW YORK, april l4.-William H. Doug
lass of Arkell s. Douglass. agents for the
Australian American Banking company.
who returned few days ago from trip
to Australia, said yesterday:
the causes of the failure OF the Eu glish,
Scottish and Australian bank were prob
ably similar 10 those which led to the Com
mercial banks suspension the other day.
The Commercial has been helped out since
by the other big banks, and it is likely the
English, Scottish and Australia was one
of those which assisted 1t. Australian Is
suffering from overtrHding, the collapse of
land-booms and similar Ills, and the banks
are affected by the same causes. They do
business Oh plan unlike that followed in
this country. The banks out there have Il
more or less fatherly relation 10 business.
For instance. a man goes to a bank and
shows that he has, say, $50, 00o capital.
He gets credit for 500, 900 on the overdraft
system. This is the way business is carried
on, and if one bank fails the others
naturally begin to restrict credits,
which IS, of course. fatal to
bOOmS and that sort OF commercial activ-
ity. Along with the land booms there has
been over-buildipg, especially in Melbourne,
where crash came 10 be inevitable. In
that city | suppose | went into fifty build
ings, each of which represented an invest
menJ of from $50, 900 to 9l00, 900, but which
did not have a rental value OF 81, 900 Il year.
1t is mostly English money which has
been invested.
''The big banks rely on real &tate and
wool, buying wool. Then there are msl-
er ccncerns-loan banks they are called,
which make advances on produce, etc,
and when the hard times came they were
the first to suffer. lot OF them failed
before any OF the larger banks susp nded.
The troubles of big banks do not necessar-
lily involve bad management. For Instance,
a loan may have been made on property
for only 80 per cent ot its market value, yet
so great has been the slump in land that
now the property may not bring within ~
per cent OF the amount of the lolu."

SHORT CROP OF HAY.
The Prospects for a Big Crop
Growing Daily Less.

Farmers would not know how the
world was wagging if they could find
nothing to complain about.
Just now it is the short hay crop
which is staring them in the face.
June's cold nights and dry winds
have sensibly dimmed the May pros
poets for good crop, but one of the
things which the farmers now COM
plain about most is the interior quality
of the clover seed which they have
sown for two or three years past.
They say the farmers of this section
are fast getting out of the practice of
harvesting their own clover seed, or
the seasons have been so bad that no
clover seed has been made. and the re-
suit has been that they have been
obliged to buy Western seed, which,
while also containing quantities of
foul foreign seed, has been SO poor
that one-half and more of 1t has not
germinated after being sown. Instead
of their fields being covered with an
even burden of clover they find them
''patchy;" here and there a good,
heavy patch of cloyer and here and
there a light, scragly patch. Timothy
still sgives promise of good crop of
hay.

Awonderful Machine.

There is no doubt that man is fine
mechanism, but like every other ma.
chine he wears out by friction. 1t is
said that he Is born again every two
or three years. His body Is virtually
re-made from food. To retard this
making over is radically wrong, as
man loses so much vitality In the de-
layed process that 1t takes long time
to recuperate. The process of making
anew is SO accelerated by purging with
Brandredth's Pills that new man, as
1t were, may be made in two or three
months, and the change in the
mechanism is such that the worn out
part Is replaced by the new without
the usual running down of the entire
machine. You don't have to stop for
repairs. Purge away with Brand
reth's Pills the old, diseased and worn
out body. They are purely vegetable,
absolutely harmless, and safe to take
at any time. Is cod 1w

BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Miss Ketta BaIlenger Enterfains
Friends.

Friends.
Miss Retta Ballenger, daughter of
William II. Ballenger, reached her
tenth birthday anniversary last week,
and the important event was celebra-
ted at her beautiful home on Broad
street, in manner most pleasing to
herself and about fifty of her young
friends, whom she had previously in
Yited.
The little men and women arrived at
the house about four o'clock, and the
manor was thrown open to them. Ev-
cry part Of the house was theirs to
enjoy, and the hospitalites were freely
accepted. Out on the lawn, in the
shades Of the great tree, games of all
sorts were played, and such romping
and childish enthusiasm as exhibited,
cannot be depected In cold type.
At tea time Mrs. w. E. Pine played
brilliant march upon the piano, and
the girls and boys formed in pairs and
marched gayly to the dining room,
where a great table was loaded down
with all the delicacies of the season,
and decorated with a profusion of
beautiful flowers. The youngsters
were given every attention, and they
enjoyed the banquet immensely.
Retta was the recipient OF score or
more presents, commemorating the
anniversary.

GLASS WORKS FIRE.
The Large Bottle House Fired in
some Way. GOOD work by
she Department..

About p. 10. last Wednesday, the
whistle of the Cohs snsey Glass CON-
pauy sounded an alarm of fire, and
Immediately great crowds we're run.
ming excitedly in the direction of that
great manufacturing plant. Almost
Immediately the Court House bell
sounded, and then the alarm at the
engine house.
The department responded very
quickly, the Washington street CON-
pany arriving first, and ran line
of hose on the outside of the burning
building. In moment afterward the
Third ward company came, and they
dashed directly through the building
which was blazing.
The fire was In the factory KIN own as
the large hollow ware house. The en-
tire top of it was burning, and it
seemed as If the structure was
doomed, and other surrounding build
ings were threatened.
The building is situated almost in
the centre of the plant, and it is close
ly built up on all sides. Fortunately
there was no wind, and not a spark
was carried elsewhere, and no other
buildings were fired. Had there been
any air, whatever, there would have
been most disasterous confiagration.
The fire was in the roof and cupolo
of the building. It had evidently
been fired from overhead from the
cone of the furnaces, which were being
sheared. The flames spread quickly
over the entire top of the structure
and then it seemed to burn slowly.
The hose of the glass company was
brought out, and did good service.
The Third ward fremen got plug
stream on the burning building first.
They worked inside, and were careful
to keep the water eff the furnaces,
which would have been greatly dam
aged had any quantity of water fallen
upon them.
The steamer stream was thrown
upon the outside of the building and
the flames were subdued in very short
order. but not before the building had
been practically ruined, although it
was not burned to the ground.
Manager Bodine said that he
thought the men could work to-day,
but might be a little late In starting.
No damage was apparently done to
the furnace. Some of the glass in
the lear ovens may he injured by be-
ing cooled off quickly by the water.
A great crowd surrounded the
grounds of the company, but every
effort was made to keep the people
out, as 1t was apparent that big
crowd could do much damage, and
only be in the way of the frelnen.
The loss will not foot up any great
amount of money, although practi-
cally, new frame building will have
to be erected.

HORSE VS.. LOCOMOTIVE.
Ii TrOts Two Miles Ahead of q
Train on the West Jersey.

An amusing incident occurred to
the last train down on the West Jer-
sey last evening.
AS engineer George Baxter pulled
out from the Monroeville station q
horse was noticed on crossroad ap-
preaching the track on the west side.
The engineer slowed up, but the
horse, when reaching the railroad
track did not attempt to cross it but;
turned down the road and trotted
along at the end of the ties ahead of
the engine. The horse was hand
some bay, with no harness on but q.
bride.
1t kept up its race ahead of the
locomotive, turning neither to the.
right or left, for about two miles.
Whenever the engine would get too
near it Baxter would open the steam
cocks of his cylinder and the Kissing
steam woald cause the horse to strike
2-minute clip. He kept up square
trot until he approached a road just
north of Elmer, up which he turned
and trotted off a few yards, when he
stopped and went to grazing. The
engineer feared he would jump on the
track in front of the engine, but he
didn't.

SLIGHT FIRE ON SATURDAY.
Business in Danger From
the Flames.

Fire started in a lot of empty glass.
packing boxes in the rear of A. l.
Loper's carpenter shop in the Y. M. G.
A. building Saturday afternoon.
The alarm was given and the Ls
France engine was quickly at the
scene Of thefre.
1t was discovered that the fire had
started from sparks from the boiler In
A. F. Loper's feed mill which is In
the rear of the building; these had
fallen among the straw and ignited
it. The blaze sprang up with fearful
rapidity, and it looked for few min
utes, as though the whole block OF
houses would be at the mercy of the
flames.
A stream from the La France soon
put out the fire and no damage was
done to any of the buildings.
