Getting Rid of Spoilers.

The street car spotter has practically
disappeared from some western cities,
where just lately scheme of selling tickets
for % cents, good for six rides, has come
into general use The conductor punches
a hole into the ticket for each ride. The
spotter cannot, of course, tell which pas
sengers have paid cash fares and which
have trip cards, and SO his usefulness has
gone, and he Is going himself.
The Rock Island railroad recently adopt
ed a seemingly excellent plan on its local
trains running out of Chicago. The con-
ductors were informed that spoilers would
not in future be employed on the road,
and that the money thus saved would be
applied to an increase in the wages of the
conductors. The conductors would not In
future be watched, but would be regarded
as trusted employees and paid as such.
The plan Is said to work to the entire sat
isfaction of both company and men.-New

WOMEN AS BANKERS.

sented In the Report Of the ComptroiIss
Of tho Currency - Women Prefer Ns-
tionsi to state Bmnks.
Women WELD 10 greater influence I'm tho
0DaDcial operations Of the country than
tho people generally are aware of This Ia
especially the case with banking affairs.
Few Of the uninitiated realize how great
an interest the 80 called weaker sex has
In bank capital and the extent TO which
IL figures In the management oi banking
institutions rs presidents, directors, share
holders and employees. The presidents OF
several national bapks In the west are wo-
men, and the number of women acting m
directors Of financial institutions is greater
than would be imagined. Tho number
holding more subordinate places Of trust
and responsibility runs Yell up In the hun
dreds and Is constantly on the increase.
Women are naturally honorable and trust
worthy, and they have displayed UNUSUAL
shrcwdness and discretion In financial
transactions They arc faithful and con-
sciontious and arc proof against many OF
the temptations that have SO often proved
Irresistible TO many Of the male sex In
trusted with the funds Of other people.
Mr.. Eckels, comptroller OF the currency,
will devote n chapter Of his forthcoming
report to congress TO tho growing interest
shown by women In the financial institu-
tions of the country. He has already com
piled some interesting statistics on this
subject, covering both the national and
state banks, but they will not be accessi-
BILE for several weeks yet. At the date of
a. Il. h.. ,I,ar Of eI.r Of.
tional banks was 1000, Alb, representing a
total valuation of 1888, 642, S78. OF these
1913, 772 shares, representing $3.50, 6S1,
4S2, were owned by women. The percent
ago of shares is 24.4 and Of capital 1879.
The number Of individual women holders
of national bank stock was 10, 697.
It Is noted as somewhat singular that
women apparently have greater confidence
In national banks than In banks organized
under state laws. The total shares and
capital Of the latter class of institutions are
%, ,818, S04 and 1907, 151, 716, respective
ly. OF this number. 4s1, ,O9S shares, repre-.
senting &88, ,O74, TIE, stand In the names OF
women. The percentages are respectively
1873 and 1874, and the individual holders
number 80, 146.
The women employees in the national
banks of the country are 383, and Of the
state banks 5S4. They receive as total com
pensation from national banks, S185, 797,
and from state banks, $262,S The av
erage annual compensation Of women In
the former institutions Is 1851, and in
the latter $3.50. AZ. Estimating average
dividends from bank stock at 9 per cent
