BIG PREMIUM FOR MONEY.

The scarcity of money was made apparent
last evening at the sale of the G~reenville
Building and Loan Association. The as
ISOLATION had a few thousand dollars in the
treasury and as soon as Secretary Routh
announced that he was ready to receive bids
on parcels of 500 each, the bidding began
and it was the most spirited that the associa-
tion has seen in years. The last premium
offered per share was 1858. This is the
highest premium in the history of the asso-
citation that has ever been offered. The
receipts for the evening were $500. The
association is now closing its forth series
which began twelve years ago. There are
106 shares in the series. Secretary Routh is
at work upon his annua report and as soon
as it is completed printed copies will be
made which will be distributed among the
members. The past year has been the most
prosperous in the history of the association
and Mr.. Routh says the report will be a
most encouraging one.

MISS BRADFoRDrs GOOD WORK.
To Establish n Social Settlement and
a PaWnshOp,


Miss Bradford, of Upper Montclair, a
highly educated lady, with wide experience
in charitable institutions, proposes to open a
pawnshop III Jersey City. She says that
poor people are simply feeeed by pawn
brokers. whose extortion prevents the poor
often from releeming their goods, aud to
remedy this she will apply for g license,
open Il shop, decorate the outside with three
golden spheres. and invite people not TO visit
their "uncle, but to visit their Aunt"
Another scheme which Miss Bradford will
carry cut is u Social Settlement, She has
the beginning of one now in the nursery
department Of the Peoples Palace. 1t is
known as the whittier Settlement" and it
is intended to be as Independent as the es-
teeme6 doctor himself. In this settlement
there will be classes for the poor, who will
on paying fifty cents for ten lessons receive
instructions in sewing, cooking. mending
and branches OF domestic science.
"Our idea,f says Miss Bradford. sis to
live with the people and in pursuance OF
this idea there viii be lady helpers and a
doctor resident in the settlement, who for a
small sum will treat those who need his ser
vices.
All this requires money, and Miss Brad
ford is now laboring to stir up some wealthy
person or persons who will advance money to
establish the settlement and the pawnshop.
This latter institution is to be run on a
somewhat novel plan. Only 4 per cent. will
be charged, and if a needy person allows his
time to run out arrangements will be made
by which his goods at least won't be for
feited. Miss Bradford having spent some
time in London. Chicago and New York,
where these settlements are established, is
confident that the home she will start in
Jersey City will be successful, and a home
not only to those of lowly condition, but a
benefit TO the city.

TENANTS PANIC STRICKEN.
Fire in a Grcenviile Store Filled the
Rouse with Smoke.

A fire which threatened the lives of a large
number of women and children broke out
shortly after seven o'clock in the dry goods
store of Charles Schutchlein at No. 73e
Ocean avenue, Greenville. The store is in
one of a row of four-story frame tenement
houses and had not the iremen of No. 4
truck and Nc. Is engine responded quickly to
the alarm the whole row would have I'M
doubtedly been consumed by the flames.
The blaze started in the show window of the
dry goods store. In some una~ccountable
way q number of linen shirts which were
hanging in the window were set afire by a
gas jet, The flames quickly spread to the
interior of the store and although Mr.. Schut-
chlein tried hard to ~extinguish them he met
with no success. While he was battling
with the blaze Policeman Kimmerly, who
was patroling his post on Ocean avenue, saw
smoke coming out of the door and window
and sent in an alarm from box No. 76. In
the meantime Roundsman Dougherty and
Policeman THAI arrived pom the scene and
found the tenants in the rooms above panic
stricken. TIL halls We're by this time filled
with smoke and the tenants were afraid to
risk forcing their way through. There were
nan children in the rooms above and their
cries made their parents almost frantic.
The flames were gaining ground every min
ute. The adult members Of the families up
stairs were afraid to make their way through
the black smoke for fear that they and their
children would be suffocated.
Roundsman Doherty and Policemen THAI
and Kimmerly did not hesitate long low
ever. They realized that if the firemen did
not arrive soon the entire row of buildings
would be doomed and that the tenants must
in some way be brought to q place of safety.
So they entered the hall and forced their
way through the smoke to the floors above.
They looked after the children first and car
ried them all to the street safe and sound,
Then they assisted the older people to a place
of safety.
While they We're performing this noble
task the firemen arrived and soon had two
streams of water playing on the blazes. Part
of the water reached Dougherty and drenched
him to the skin. But the plucky roundsnan
kept on carrying the tenants out of the build
ing as though a shower bath on a cold night
was to be enjoyed. Most of the children who
were carried out were in their night clothes.
They were given shelter by kind neighbors,
The iremen performed their duty in a
most creditable manner and succeeded in
combining the blaze to the store. At a quarter
to eight o'clock they had it extinguished.
tenants and the children then returned
to their apartments. S~chutchlein's stock
was entirely destroyed. His loss is 81, 900
and is fully covered by insurance. The
building is owned by Henry Lembeck and
is damaged $500. This loss is also covered
by insurance,

SOMETHING ABOUT KISSING.
The 0Id-9rime Ceremony that is Not
Now Obseryed.

IN the old time men and women who were
mere aca~uaintances exchanged kisses in pub
lie with a certain amount Of ceremony, and
a visitor to whom it was desired to show
special civility was always received with a
kiss.
The mode of salutation has changed
greatly with the times. Haste and high
pressure have contributed to render the
form of greetinges brief as possible Not
only have we given up the quaint, familiar
ways of our ancestors, but we have also
parted with much of that elaborate etiquette
which, in the last century. played SO large a
part in the social life.
The changed habits of society, the greater
nlingling Of it's various grades, have
brought a simplicity into the form of inter
course which strikes oddly upon the senses
OF people accustomed to old-fashioned cere=
inony. II always kiss the lady's hand when
l take my leave Of the hostess after q
party said a German lady, a descendant OF
one Of the oldest families in what used to be
called Prussia. She was commenting rather
severely on the habits aud customs OF her
adopted country.
The of-hand manner Of girls toward their
mothers, and of all young people generally
toward all older people, drew forth her
r~eprobation, and kissing is now confined TO
State ceremonies, and to a few Old World
lovers and g~alIants who have retained the
ways of their great grandfathers. -Notes

4 WINGED FIGHT.
Bitter Contest over Honey Between
Bee and a EFMmmIMg Bird.

An observer writes that be is satisfied that
there is Just as much rivalry between hum
ming birds and bees in their quest for honey
as there is between members of the human
race in their struggle for the good things of
life, and describes a recent quarrel that he
saw in a Portland garden, where a drumming
bird, with an angry dash, expressed it's dis
approval of the presence of q big humble bee
in the saime tree. The usually ~pugnacious
bee incontinently fed, but he did not leave
the tree. He dashed back and forth among
the branches and white blossoms, the hum
ming bird in close pursuit.
Where will you find another pair that
could dodge and dart equal to these. They
we're HEe flashes of light, yet the pursuer
followed the track of the pursued, turning
when the bee turned, In short, the bird and
the bee controlled the movements OF their
bodies more quickly than he could control
the movements OF his eyes.
The chase was all over in half the time
that ii takes to sell il, but the excitement OF
a pack of hounds after . fox was no greater,
The bee escaped, the bird giving up the chase
and alightsng onxa twig. 1t couldn't have
been chasing the bee for food, and there is
no possible explanation of its u~npreyoked
attack except that it wished to have all the
honey itself.-Chicage Tones.

by a superb first frame, gained the lead
which gave them the victory. They
rolled up over a hundred and held
the enemy by eighteen pins. In the
following nine frames there was a difference
of only one pin in the totals of the two
teams. That solitary pin was in favor OF
the Glendale team, whose majority at the
windup was nineteen. The winners held the
advantage from the start, but it was small.
Their best margin was in the third frame,

He Made Interesting Pets.
Do you know that It is possible to educate
fish into becoming quite interesting petsa 1
am sure you will like to learn how their
education is accomplished, so listen to this,
A gentleman had two brook trout in am
aquarium in his house that would jump out
of the water and take flies held between the
forefinger and thumb. They would also
ring a little bell when they wanted some7
thing to eat, leap over the little bars of wood
placed about two inches above the
surface of the water, etc. He says it
was quite a simple matter to teach
the fishes these tricks, and this is
how he taught them to ring the beil: He
fastened a little tower that contained a
s~weet-toned silver bell to the side of the
aquarium, with a piece of string fastened to
the tongue of the bell. On the loose end of
the string he fastened some tempting NOR
sci of food, and let it dangle in the water.
When the fishes seized this the bell would
naturally ring. When this had been sew
eral times repeated the fish were left with
out food until they made the discovery that
by pulling the string to which the delicacies
had been attached they could get some.
They very soon found this out, and then
whenever they We're hungry that little bell
was kept constantly tinkling.-Als En-
