The Savings Banks Annual State.
ment.

The statement of the condi-
ton of the Savings Banks OF
New Jersey at the close of 1898, just
issued by the State Banking and In
surance Department, tells something
of the story of the hard times. 1t
also tells a story, which does our peo-
pie honor of thrift and ~precaution. 1t
is painful to think that such heavy
drafts were made upon tine "rainy
day" fund of the poor as to cause a
net diminution of So, 221, 94S in the
amount on deposit throughout the
State. 1t is still more painful to note
that a large number of persons had to
use up all their resources, entirely
closing out their accounts. This, we
ascertain, from the fact.that there is
net reduction of 2,S75 in the number
of depositors, and a net increase over
the previous year of 4, S2S in the mum
Der OF accounts closed. Another sign
of the hard times through which we
have passed is the reduction of $3.50
in the number of new accounts
opened. To carry out the idea, we
find a falling off of 50. 735, COS in the
amounts deposited during the year
and an increase of So, 1877, S91 in the
drafts.
It is r%eassuEing to note that in spite
of all drawbacks, there remains on
deposit in the savings banks the en-
rmous total of $34, 1885, 9s, and that
SIS, 4S7, 277 was deposited in 1898. The
enormous effect of these banks in
checking the distress of the unem-
ployed may be judged from the drafts
of SCI, 715, 1928. 1t is highly honorable
to the managers of the banks that
with a total expense hardly exceeding
$500, 900 they have been able to charge
up $1,070, 1876 to the credit of de-
positors as interest. while they retain
So, 235, 977 as surplus.
These banks are among the greatest
blessings of modern times. Managed
as they seem to be in this State, they
are a refuge and a support to the poor
and simple. There is no such thing
as encouraging them too much or
guarding them too jealousy. They
give stability to the State, and they
guarantee peace and order. Yoursav-
ings bank depositor is never an An
archist. All you have to do is to
place a little book in any mans poe
ket, showing a little balance in three
figures or more on the right side, and
he becomes as strong an advocate for
government, and good government, as
any real estate owner or bondholder
in the country. Teach the people to
acquire a stake in the country, how
ever small in itself, and you need not
fear the rawlings of Most and Emma
Goldman or any other apostle OF
spoliation and murder.
Long may the savings banks -four
ish.

complete stock in every grade. Styles in
these seldom change; but in the Japan
Mattings we show entirely new and I'M
usually handsome effects. The blues and
reds, in regular patterns, mixed, and in
dashes of color, are very taking; while
the browns, greens and yellows are by
many preferred because OF their more
simple elegance.
There are 40 yards in every roll, and
the prices quoted have been cut heavily
to apply to roll lots only.
Here are the present prices, together with
the prices actually charged for the same
goods last year:

STORM SWEPT.
Hardest Wind, and Rain in Twelve
Years.

Hardest Wind, and Rain in Twelve
Years.
The storm which began in Cuba and
accounts of which reached us the ear
ly part of the week broke upon us in
full force Tuesday night and contin-
ued with more or less violence all day
Wednesday. During its continuance
there was a great down pour of rain
and at times terrific gusts of wind.
With the exception of few leveled
fences, uprooted trees, telegraph and
telephone poles, broken plate glass
door at the postoffice, and falling
plastering in various buildings, there
was no serious damage done in Ocala.
Mr.. Brokaw, who is in from Antho-
ny, says lie counted two hundred and
three uprooted green trees between
Anthony and Ocala and a large num-
ber of dead ones.
Mr.. George Moore, from Shady
Grove, says he counted fifty-four fall
len trees between his place and Ocala.
Two miles of the telephone wire be-
tween Ocala and Silver Springs Park
is down.
A great many oranges are whipped
off the trees and great damage done to
the remaining ones by being thonged.
The telegraph wires are down in all
directions and stoppage to trains have
been caused by washouts. Trains due
in Ocala Wednesday 3 o'clock p. M
have not put in an appearance at this
writing, Thursday, o'clock p. m.
Rumors are afioat that one hundred
and fifty houses We're blown down at
Key West and that the water is three
and four feet deep over the whole is
land, but the rumors can moi be veri-
fed.
As the winds were from the north
and northeast and blowing south and
southwest, it is believed that great
damage has been done along the
northeast Atlantic coast.
Five or six sea birds were picked ur
on our streets, having been blown
from the Atlantic coast by the vio-
lence of the winds. Many of these
birds are seen in many parts of the
woods. They were driven with such
force that they have since died from
sheer exhaustion.
