EARLY BANKS.
It Was n Difaeult Task to Escape the
Robbers.


1t must have been difficult In tho
middle ages for man of limited means
10 take care of his savings There
We're, it is true, the Lombard and
Genoese bankers, who dealt with
princes, mobiles, bishops and the abbots
of the greater monasteries, and as time
went on there arose the Sienese-Roman
firm of Chigi, with its hundred
branches, whieh in later times supplied
pontiff 70 the holy see, who bore the
name of Alexander VII; but of what
service were these great luxury-loving
people to the peddler. the yeoman or
small shopkeeper, whose gains came
not in by pounds, angels or marks, but
in penny driblets, with perhaps an odd
groat of profit on a very successful
venture? How was their money stored?
In some cases we suspect that the
church wardens took care of ii in the
parish chest, though if put to the proof
of what we say we should not be very
ready with an answer, but ID Is quite
certain that, as years rolled on and
guilds sprang MP ia every village, they
acted as bankers for the guild men.
But there must have been many per
sons who belonged to no guild. some
because they were of loose life and such
asno guild would enroll, others because
they were landless folks who had no
settled place of abode. 1t was danger

those days.
There were many Robin Hoods abroad
who had no scruples as to robbing the
poor as well as the rich. To the weak
the only course thas was open, il they
could not deposit their coin in the
hands Of some trustworthy neighbor,
was TO bury it In the earth. This is
the explanation of the numerous
boards of coin which have turned up
from time to time from the thirteenth
century 20 the present time.

TIE CIRCUS.
Sells Brothers Give 4 Very Clever Perform
anee a Riverside

Sells Brothers circus has come and IS
gone, having given an exhibition at River
side park yesterday.
Ii was a very creditable performance in
every way: in fact 1t was first class cir
Gu, aud gave excellent satisfaction TO its
patrons.
The street parade was very fine one and
was witnessed by crowded sidewalks.
1t Is the common impression that hard
times do not affect IL circus. but that Is not
the case. Tue attendance az last
nights performance was ouly 1000; III
good times the average attendance at cir
cuses In this city Is IL ,000 The city people
turned out in about the same proportion
that they al ways do, but the country peO-
pie and those in surrounding towns did
not.
There were some new and decidedly
clever innovations in the performance,
both in the feats of trained animals and in
acrobatic work.
The grounds were free from fakirs and
pickpockets and the best of order was
maintained.

A HORSE ON HIM.
Sick Animal Pres rnted 10 Him Causes Him
Trouble.

''No, sab! / just tell you how it was, 4"
was the remark of Major Davis to the po-
lice yesterday after he had been brought
to the station from Eighteenth street.
Major Davis is colored man who ia
charged with having dumped the body of
dead horse within the city limits.
He claims, however. that man in that
part of town gave him the horse while
the animal was sick. and agreed TO allow
Major to keep the nag In case he got well.
In case the sick beast died the major was
to notify the former owner and he would
take the body away.
All this. says the major. was done, and
another man took the body away and he
did not dump the animal within the city
limits. The case will DE heard today.

ENGLISH HOMES AND AMERICAN.

On entering an Englishman's house
the first thing one notices is how well
his house is adapted to him. On enter
ing an Americans house the first thing
one notices is how well he adapts him
self to his house. In England the estab-
lishment is carried on with prime view
to the comfort of the man. In America
the establishment is carried on with a
prime view to the comfort of the woman.
Men are more selfish than women, con-
sequentlv the English home is as a rule
more comforta bic than the American
home.
An Englishman is continually going
home, an american is continually going
to business. One is forever planning
and scheming to get home, and to stay
at home, and to enjoy the privileges OF
home; while the other is more apt to de-
vote his energies to make his business a
place to go to and in which to spend
himself These MINOR details of domes
tic life put their impress upon larger
matters of business and politics. Price

How TO GET RICH.

Enoch Pratt, the Baltimore millionaire
and philanthropist, wrote: My advice
to a young man just starting in life and
ambitious to become wealthy Is to take
good care of his health, to shun all bad
habits and to save at least 81 out of
every s. he earns and Immediately get
that 81 out at interest. A man must have
good health to put forth his powers to
the best advantage. To make money his
brain must be clear and not clouded by
rum or tobacco.
81 have spoken of the Importance of
getting your savings out at interest i'm
mediately. Few people have any idea of
the rapidity with which money at inter
est grows, and there is no better or safer
way to get it out at interest than to buy
some small piece of real estate that is I'M
proved and paws rent sufficient to yield a
surplus that will pay the taxes, the inter
est on the mortgage YOU will have to give
and something on the principal each year
Continue to work hard and save all YOU
can from your earnings, and apply all
you save to paying of the mortgage. In
this way you will soon have Il good and
perfectly safe investment"

The nine weeks from Feb. to June l

FOR ASSISTANT JUDGE.

Editor Of he Register Before long
the question will arise as to who shall be
side Judge in Addison county, and we
are proud to present the name of one
who has the reputation OF being an hon
est, straightforward, enterprising bust
ness man. The candidate is Mr.. r. j.
Flint of Granville, who ought to have
the office, and will, if the people of the
county will do their part. Mr.. Flint
has always been conspicuous in his en-
deavors to benefit the town he lived in,
and when the opportunity presented
itself to do something he was ever ready
and willing. He has held many town
offices and filled them very acceptably,
and in 1891 represented the town in the
legislature. Granville and Hancock
have not been represented upon the
county ticket for many years, and as
there is no reason which appeals to a
true Republican why Mr.. Flint is not
entitled to this nomination, and resting
firmly in this belief, let us follow his
standard to victory.

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.
Caused by CareIessness.

The majority of people die sooner than
they should. Evidence of this fact is grow
ing daily. Warning says "Disease is not a
consequence of life; it is due to unnatural
conditions of living neglect, abuse want"
DIR. Stephen Smith, on the same subject,
" Man is born to health and long life dis
case is unnatural, death, except from old
age, is accidental, and both are preventable
by human agencies" This is almost invari-
ably true of death resulting from heat dis
ease. Careless over-exertion. Incorporate
use of tea, coffee, tobacco alcoholic or other
stimulants are generally the causes of this
difficulty, and indifference to its progress re-
suits in sudden death, or long sickness end
ing in death. By the newspapers it can be
seen that many prominent and hundreds of
persons in private life die from heart dis
ease every day.
If you have any of the following symp-
toms: shortness of breath, palpitation, irreg-
ular pulse, fainting and smothering spells,
pain in shoulder, side, or arm, swollen
ankles, ETC., begin treatment Immediately for
heart disease. lfyou delay, the consequences
may be serious.
For over 20 years DIR. Franklin Miles,
the eminent specialist, has made profound
study of heart disease its causes and cure,
and many of the leading discoveries in that
direction are due to him. His New Heart
Cure is absolutely the only reliable remedy
for the cure of heart disease, as is proved
by thousands of testimonials from grateful
persons who have used it.
James A. Pain, editor of the Cory, Pa, Leader,
states: "After an apparent recovery from three
months of Ia grippe, ] fell on the street uncon-
scious from heart disease. In one month from
that time was unable to walk across my room,

CHEAP INSURANCE,

The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York claims to furnish insurance
cheaper than any other company, which
claim has been abundantly verified time
and again by the numerous Illustrations
of "Actual Results" on its policies.
Below will be found more proof that
makes the claim all the stronger. from
the fact that figures tell the tale:
The first policy was issued in 1854 for
$1,000, and until 1867 the dividend adj
ditions were allowed to accumulate,
when the insured began surrendering
them towards the payment of premiums,
using Sl,l75.62 in cash against total
premium of S2095.SG. leaving a differ
ance of S920.24. AS an offset there is a
balance of additions amounting to SSl6.-
90, making the net cost of $1,000 insur-
ance for thirty-nine years but Sl0424, or
an average cost per year of S2.GS, or
81 "a per $1,000 per year.
The other policy was issued in 1861 for
$1,000, and the actual cost for the thirty
two years insurance is but Sl37.l3. a
yearly average of S4,29, or about sc
cents per $1,000 per year. The insured be-
gan to surrender his additions in 1876
and from that time to the time of his
death he surrendered nearly One-half OF
the total dividend additions, still leaving
balance of S2445, or nearly equal tC
one-half of MS policy. The amour. OF
cash dividends used was Sll0l.07 oil
nearly one-thlrd of the total premiums
paid.
Moral-For the best results, insure il
