THE SAME RESOLUTIONS.

Action of the Atlanta Meeting SINH
lar to That by other Associations.
The recent convention of southern bank
ers held in Atlanta, was not attended by
any members of the financial fold from
Savannah. The Savannah bankers did not
appear to take any deep interest in the
Atlanta meeting, and several of them who
We're spoken to on the subject looked upon
it as another feature inaugurated to boom
the Gate City.
THE resolutions passed by the Atlanta
meeting" a well-known banker said yes
terday, ARE very good ones in almost
every particular, but do not see that any
particular good has been or will be- ac-
compEshed. l say this because the same,
or very similar, action has been taken al
ready by the Georgia state Bankers As
ISOLATION and also by almost every state
bankers association in the country. These
associations have agitated the question
thoroughly, and the resolutions adopted
were pretty much on the same line
throughout. The agitation of the matter on
the right line however will do no harm,
though l do not think there is any doubt
that the administration will take the
proper view of the matter, and give the
country some advantageous financial leg
islatioE."
Several Savannah bankers, who were
seen, expressed similar views. The finan-
cial situation does not appear to trouble
the Savannah bankers in any great degree.
They appear TO think there is plenty of
money in the country for its business
needs, and they know they have plenty of
it on hand for business purposes. All
they want is a currency that is so well
secured that there will be no doubt of its
aCceptability any and everywhere. Sew
eral of the bankers here have written their
views to the Secretary of the Treasury.

THE WORLDS POLICE.
Irish and Spanish Said to BE the
Finest in the World.

Irish and Spanish Said to BE the
Finest in the World.
An Englishman whose hobby is the
study of policemen all over the world
says that the Irish constabulary and the
civil guard of Spain are the finest bodies
of police in Europe: The Spanish civil
guard was established in 1915, when
highwaymen were numerous in Spain,
and the duty of it's members is still to
patrol the high roads and practically to
guard travellers. Their power is almost
absolute, but they do not abuse it. They
wear dark blue tunics and yellow belts,
with knee breaches and old-fashioned
CATERS.
The Italian police are divided into five
sections, the first being the cara binieri,
who wear dark blue tail coats. trousers
with red bands, silver buttons and Orna-
ments, cooked hats with tri-colored
cockades, gloves and swords. The Nea-
politan police are especially smart in
appearance. The Berlin police were
found rather disappointing, for, al
though fine body of men as regards
height, they have decided tendency to
stOutnesS.
Their methods of enforcing order are
firm, but almost invariably polite. The
policemen in Vienna are great dandies.
Russian policemen are bigger than any
in Europe, and are compared in this re-
spect with those of New York, but it is
stated that the broadway squad" can
give inches in size to any body of men
in Europe.
The Russian force is divided into
three sections, urban, suburban and
river police. Men of the urban division
wear black, with yellow and red facings,
those of the suburban section black
with purple facings, and the river police
black with white facings.
The Japanese police bear the palm for
picturesqueness, especially in their
summer costume. They wear white,
with sort of cape attached to their
hats hanging down on their shoulders.
The Fiji islands are kept in order by a
body called the ARMED native con-
stabulary.' Their tunics of dark blue
with scarlet facings contrast striking
" with scolloped kits of white linen.
The uniform of the Madras policeman
consists of gayly-colored turban, dark
jacket, white trousers and sandals

A new and simple source OF power is

Dick stood by, ready to give aid when
needed. Presently he dropped upon his
knees and impulsively clasped his
friends hand. It's very touch seemed to
awe him and. looking up, he asked one
tremulous question:
Doctor! is he dying?"
There was no answer, and, shaken
by an irrepressible sob, the man crept
away. With every sense intent upon the
slightest changes of pulse and breath,

The silence grew oppressive. Dick soon

easy to find work elsewhere, and he
took to tramping with me.
"This last year he's been getting tired
of it. Many time of late he's said to
me: 'Ah, Dick, a man can't get any
thing worth having unless he works

would say, steady"

Dick was still talking. 1t was only
a variation of the old, sad story, but
something in his manner of speech
seemed homogeneous, and the doctor
flashed critical glance over him.
