A Kick From Boston BOYS.

The boys in the city proper are finding
fault because in picking out streets on
which coasting will be allowed this win
ter the aldermen did not pick out more
streets that are tipped up at one end.
This is on the dead level, like nearly all
the streets named in the published list.
ALI men who have been boys once like
to see boys coasting. Any bitter old
tynic who complains against this sport
was always a bitter old cynic and was
never boy himself. AT the same time
boys should not coast where they endan-
ger their own safety or the safety of
Globe.

The Security Trust Co,

For the benefit of many of our read
ers who have had business with the
above company at Nashua, N. H., we
clip the following article from a recent
issue of the Manchester Union, as il
contains good news to those having
money invested with said company
; The reopening of the Security Trust Com
pany today, as mentioned in dispatches, has
been a matter of cOngratulation among citi-
zens. The bank was closed on July 10, 1898,
and at the time there was considerable eX-
citment in business circles. To be sure of
the banks financial condition, it has been
subjected to a most careful investigation by
James Russell, not in any way connected
Herewith, and the result shows that the
bank is entitled to the full confidence of its
dep0stors, as we'll as the public. This was
made evident today by the fact that on the
opening there were deposits as we'll as with
drawalS. The officers of the bank number
many of Nashua's most conservative bust
ness men of high financial standing, and it
has also $270, 600 capital and surplus. Bank
Commissioner James o. LyfOrd was in town
in the bank this morning. and following a
meeting of the directors its doors were OPEN
ed. The injunction was dissolved by the
court at Manchester ON Saturday afternoon,
upon recommendation of the bank commits
stoners.
Deposit0rs have long been satisfied that
the company was solvent and that it was
mistake last summer in forcing it to close
its doors because of inability to convert its
securities into cash. A large majority of
depOsitOrs have notified the company that
they do not wish to withdraw their deposits
and there is no indication today that there
will be any unusual call for money on their
part One of the pleasing features of the
case is that the panicky feeling of last sum-
mer has disappeared. The officers and de-
positors of the Security Trust Company, as
well as the public, are to be congratulated
on its ability to resume business
In an interview with Bank Commissioner
Lyford he said, in reply to questions from
The Union man that it was more agreeable
to the commissioners to perform DUTY of
this kind than it is to close bank. The Sc
curity Trust Company might have resumed
business at an earlier day, except that the
officers and commissioners desired to make
sure that the company was in condition to
meet every reasonable demand upon it. AT
the suggestion of the commissioners James
Russell was employed by the company to
investigate the character of its western Sc
curitieS and investments, and after spending
two months in the west, he is able to report |
that the company has met with no losses,
and that its suspension Of business was due
entirely to the panic which made it impOs-
sible for any bank to convert any large |
amount of its assets into cash. The COM
tons and the report of Mr.. Russell that the |
company is solvent and have recommended |
the dissolution of the injunction.
