GOOD PLAN If ONLY PRACTICAL
OBJECTIONS URGED AGAINST
POSTAL SAVINGS.
Postmaster General Gary in Answer
Difficulty Of Government Put
ting Savings to Profitable Use.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Postmaster
Generay Gary is receiving many letters
regarding the postal savings bank pro-
position strongly urged by him in his
annual report. In an interview with
the Associated Press today Mr.. Gary
said:
''I am very much interested, and not
a little gratified at the public criticisms
as reflected by the newspapers of my
recommendations in respect to postal
savings repositories.
CAS- far as I have been able to dis
cover, only two objections have been
seriously urged against a postal saw
ings system. The first, which never
fails to turn up, is the old contention
that the government ought not TO go
into business of collecting and taking
care of the savings of the people. [
think this is an objection which may
properly be left to congress to answer.
The other objection is based upon the
generally admitted difficulty of finding
safe and proper methods OF putting the
money accumulated to profitable use.
1T is agreed on all sides that if
practical, a postal savings system
would be most desirable. This means
a, great deal towards the success of the
project. 1t is being demonstrated, too,
daily, that the people want it, and it
has been my experience that what the
people want very much is usually pref
ty nearly right and also very likely to
be realized sooner or later"

FIRE IN AN OGDEN STORE,
PAINE & HURST SUFFER DAM
AGE OF $4,000.
Started From a Stove in the Rear of
the Store-Damage Mostly From
Smoke.
(SpeciaI TO The Herald.l


Ogden, Nov. 23.-At 2:15 this morn
ing AL Leavitt noticed smoke pouring
out of Paine & Hurst's dry goods store
2465 Washington avenue He turned in
an alarm and the fire department re-
sponded quickly. The fire was found
to be in the rear, under the counters
and among a lot of dry goods. 1t had
been smouldering for some time and
had gained considerable Roadway. It
was fought principally with the chem
ical. The front windows became so
hot that some of them cracked from
the heat. At a. m. the fire was under
control, but smouldered half an hour
longer Some goods were removed
from the building, but the great bulk
remained inside. The damage is more
due to water and smoke than by fire
and it is considerable, probably about
$1,000.
The building is owned by J. H. Spar
go and was insured. The stock was in
sured for about $4,000.
Mr.. Hurst thinks the fire originated
from a stove in the rear end.
A number of tenants in the upper
story and in adjoining buildings were
badly frightened and got out in uni
form more or less undress, but the
blaze was confined to the ground
floor

with offers of large sums and positions
in the Spanish army. In this way his
emissary approached General Rabi in
the Jiguani hills. The offer was re-
jected.
In some quarters it is believed that
the refusal to accept the overtures Of
General PandO is due to the fact that
the insurgents are anticipating some
strong step in their favor when the
United States congress meets. 1t is
generally admitted that General Pando
is somewhat mortified at the non-suc-
cess of his plans up to the present
1t is believed the insurgents have
similar plans. though from an opposite
direction and with a totally different
object in view. If current reports
among the friends of the insurgents
are to be believed, the revolutionary
leaders hope to strike a decisive blow
at Spain before congress meets, as an
encouragement to their friends in the
United States who are urging a recog-
milton upon the part OF the United
States government of the belligerency
of the insurgents of Cuba

alleges that they are first cousins; de-
clares that some time previous to their
marriage her husband had inoculated
her with the ideas not in accordance
with modern civilization and such was
the influence the defendant gained over
her mind that she saw things only in
the light in which he presented them
to her, rarely exercising her own judg-
ment, so much SO that she would put in
writing requests to him to do many
things utterly at variance with COM
mon sense and admissions as to her
conduct" And that he even made her
believe it was favor to take sums of
money and invest it in his name.
Continuing, the petition recites that

BLANCo AND TIE PRIEST.
Reliance Upon Providence Won't
CONQUER .Cubans.

Havana, Nov. 22.-Regarding politi-
cal utterances, a statement made by
Marshal BIanco, shortly after his ar
rival here is being much commented
upon. 1t seems that when the superior
of a religious order residing at Guiana
bacoa, near this city, called upon the
new captain general in order to well
come him to Cuba, Marshal Blanco,
during the course of the conversation
which followed, said: only divine
providence is able to save Cuba"
Whereupon the distinguished priest
retorted: IF we must confde only in
divine providence, and have no other
means to conquer the insurgents, then
we are lost"
The sympathizers with the insur-
gents have been making capital out of
this incident, claiming that the captain
general has no faith in the success of
his mission
