NEED OF SAVINGS BANKS.
A Bank Cashier Tells why the Gov.
ernment should Establish Them.

A Bank Cashier Tells why the Gov
ernment should Establish Them.
c. w. Twining, cashier of the
First national bank of Monroe,
Wis, has written an article on pos
tai savings banks which is attract
ing some attention. Mr.. Twining
says:
"a savings bank pure and SIM
pie is an institution that should be
found in every community. The
ideal way of organizing and man
aging pure savings bank would be
under private enterprise, with a
rigid and effective government su-
pervision. AS private enterprise
each community would receive the
benefits of the circumstances under
which it is situated. Depositors,
where rates are high as we'll as safe,
would receive greater rate of in
terest for their savings than where
rates were low. Under a govern
ment scheme the rate would neces-
sarily be level the United States
over, probably not to exceed 2 per
cent But the fact that such an
institution at this time cannot be
made to pay from an investment
point of view deprives the citizens
of the greater part of the United
States of its benefits.
In pure savings bank, where
the absolute safety Of the depositor
is the main feature, the expense OF
management must be reduced to a
minimum, as the funds deposited
cannot well be used with entire
safety at greater rate than 8 or 4
per cent and in many cases less
than this. Such institutions must
be managed by board of directors,
the members of which donate their
services, the executive officer or Of
ficers and clerks being the only
ones paid for their work. If pure
savings bank cannot be made to
pay as a business investment, pri-
vate capital and brains will not be
put into it and the result is thou
sands of men, women and children
have no places to put their small
savings where they can receive a
return for them and at the same
time feel their money is absolutely
safe.
The only solution seems to be for
the government to establish pos
tai savings banks under such laws
and rules and regulations as will
insure the safety of the funds and
sure, if small, return as interest to
the depositor. The benefit to the
depositors in such bank cannot
be overestimated. 1t would educate
them rapidly TO more economical
and thrifty manner of living; it
would create an interest in govern
ment affairs; it would be of great
assistance in all lines of retail trade,
where cash payments are desirable,
as people would have more avail
able cash to give for necessaries and
less incentive to spend it frivolously
and for luxuries. The manage
ment of such bank should be ab-
solutely apart from politics, so that
confidence in its management
would not be shaken by any politi-
cal excitement or change. II the
question of savings bank or no saw
ings bank were to be voted on by
the people the majority in its favor
would be overwhelming"

less in charging me what they had
for insurance when Sam got his for
SI.So per $1,000 per year. Perhaps I
was wrong. go to my statistics
and tnd that the death rate of the
whole population in the United
States in 1890 was 1873 per 1000.
Maybe we have not charged Sam
what he ought to pay, and have left
him too much pocket money. Per-
haps the A, o. U. w. stop growing
so fast, and in order to keep up
Sans insurance, as we agreed, we
have to double up on him again.
Now we have forty-eight assess
ments per year. His $4,000 insurance
now costs him, including Lodge
dues, SI32 per year, and we have cut
off the wife and kids to $2s4. so per
year. Too much entirely! Give Mr..
Jones an extra turn, and let him see
how hard we can squeeze him. GO
to my statistics again, and the Insur-
ance Cyclopedia tells me that the
death rate of Great Britain, whole
population, term I85I-I87I, was 22.4
per 1000. France, whole population,
same term, 1877. On this basis, and
to get Jones classed with the men,
women and children of the civilized
world as to death rate, we throw off
the limit and double once more. Now
we are down to business, and Sam
has to pay ninety-six assessments
per year, S2.5o each, equals $24o. Add
Lodge expenses, Sr2 per year; total,
S252 per year. Kven yet we are not
out of the woods and find that if
Sam had paid us the equitable pre-
MUM of Mutual Life, S3S6.5o we
would be able still to present his
family with $I4 each year, insur-
ance in each case being the same.
Purposely 80 far l have looked at
the business side only. If l failed
now to say word from another
standpoint should do the fraternal
benefit orders less and the Mutual
Life more than Justice. The Mutual
Life pays as per contract, and stops
when it pays, exacting its pound of
flesh at every stage of the proceed
ings. The traternal benefit order col
lects from Sam exactly the cost of
his insurance and $I2 per year for
expense fund dodge ducs). Does it
stop there? No, a thousand times,
no! ! call to witness thousands of
insurance policies kept in force from
Lodge funds when the Brother was
sick or unable, for other reasons, to
pay. Hundreds of thousands of
families assisted in many more ways
than the mere giving of the loaf of
bread in charity.
Let our widows and our orphans
also tell the tale of whether or not
we cease our administrations when
the grass grows over the last resting
place of our policy holder
The record of each system of life
insurance is an open book, from
which he who runs may read, and
to which will the word be said, In
asmuch as we have done it unto the

done it unto me-

snake His Cycle.

John Hesse and Edward Gramlich of Carlstadt, N. J.. were held up by a black snake Sunday night, while riding on their wheels from Union Hill to Car stadt, says the New York Journal. The snake became entangled in the spOkes of Hesse's wheel, and Hesse insists that it punctured his tire with it's fangs.
 The young men left Union Hill about dark to ride 10 their homes. and. when crossing what is known as the cedar swamp, Hesse felt the front wheel of his machine suddenly give out, and, jumping to the ground, found the tire had been punctured. On further in- vestigation he was nearly frightened out of his wits by the sight of large black snake firmly wound up in the spokes of his wheel. The snake kept its forked tongue dariing in and out at him
 Hesse called for Gramlich, who was in the lead, to halt and come to his assistance. The snake was wound up in the wheel SC tightly that they did not know how to kill it without injur- ing the wheel. Finally Gramlich plucked up courage enough to cut it's head off with large jackknife he had in his pocket. They were then obliged to carve the snake up into small pieces to get it out of the wheel, and while doing this they met with another sur prise in the shape of frog, which they found in the stomach of the snake.

To the friends and all who contributed SO willingly to- ward making the last moments and funeral of my husband a success, desire to thank most kindly, hoping these few lines will find them enjoying the same blessing. also have good milch COW and roan gelding horse which will sell cheap.

WATER WORKS BONDS SALE.

No Further Question as to Flagstars
 Water system.
 Telegrams received from MT. A. T. Cornish, who is now in St. Louis nego- tiating for the sale of the bonds issued by the town for the purpose of putting in a system of water works, indicate that the deal is practically closed on terms that will be acceptable to the Council. So far as can be learned, no difficulty whatever has been experi- enced in making the sale. Indeed, there is no reason whatever why there should be. The bonds are strictly gilt edge. and no safer or more conservative investment is offered on any market. It is a pronounced tribute to the credit and standing of the town that they have found so ready sale. but noth- ing more than was to be expected. Flagstaff has earned the reputation of meeting her obligations firmly, prompt ly and honorably. and this has stood her in good stead in the present in- stance.
 Bully! Now let the Council secure the best possible bld for the construc- tion, and we'll celebrate the Fourth as we never did before.

A Fiendish Crime.

An inquest was held Monday in San Francisco in the case of Mrs. Mary Loring, who died under circumstances that led to the arrest of her husband, Robert Loring. The woman made an anti. mortem statement that her fatal injuries were caused by beating in- flicted by her husband, who desired to kill her unborn child. The jury to-day returned verdict in accordance with these facts.

HEAVENLY FIRE"
BY REV. A. A. RICE.

The energies of heaven and hell
have ever been arrayed against each
other, but the fire which has its source
in heaven is greater in volume and
more enduring than any other, and
at the last shall consume both Hades
and Gehenna. The reason that pessi-
mistic views of the great outcome of
humanity are entertained is that we
have failed to recognize the potency
of heavenly fire.
First, due weight has not been
given to that fundamental character
istic of heaven, the tender solicitude
of those within Elysian gates, for the
more unfortunate gazing from infer
nal depths. The words of Jonathan
Edwards and his class that The view
of the misery or the damned will
double the ardor of the love and
gratitude of the saints in heaven,
and should the fires of this eternal
punish ment cease, it would in great
measure obscure the light of heaven,
and put an end to great part of the
happiness and glory of the blessed,
stand as the curiosity of the ages

numbers had been issued, that the re-
ceipts of the year had been S83 while the
expenses Of printing. ETC., had amounted
to 800, leaving deficit of Sl2. The
convention voted to continue the pub
LEGATION and Bro. East made an enthusi-
astic appeal for its support which was
quickly responded to by all present.
Rev. John Hughes, pastor of the
Atlanta church, gave a cordial invita-.
tion for the convention to hold its next
session with the Atlanta parish. The
invitation was accepted. DR.. Shinn
then presented the following recon-
mendations:
Recommendations.
We congratulate the convention upon
the work that hes been done during the
past year to redeem the pledges Of this
convention to the several churches.
We find that all the pledges made to La
Plata, Elmer. Lamonte, Atlanta and
windsor have been paid by our treas
urer. The Secretary, Mrs. l. r. Martin,
is entitled to the gratitude of this con
vention for the efficient results accom-
plished by her.
a. We recommend that we carry
out the vote passed last year to aid
Kansas City, and that the treasurer
be instructed to pay over to the secre-
tary of the Kansas City church the
money he receives until the whole am.
cunt voted, viz, $500, is paid.
(2) We recommend that $500 be
raised this year to make good our pledge
to the Kansas City parish.
81 We recommend that this con-
vention give Mrs. Ida r. Martin 1926 as
an expression of our appreciation of the
services she has rer dered the past year
as State Secretary and editor of the
Missouri Universalist; also that we
make good the deficit, 49, of last years
publication.
These recommendations were unani-
mously adopted.
There being no further business the
convention adjourned to meet at At
lanta in 1898

SUNDAY SERVICES,

Three services were held on Sunday
October 18th. DIR. Shinn preached the
morning sermon, taking for his subject,
THE Healing of the Nations" This
subject is favorite one with Bro.
Shinn and he held the attention of his
large audience for an hour and half.
DR.. Nash preached the afternoon SER
mon and it was, of course, grand. When
Sunday evening came, we felt lonely
with all our leaders gone save Bro.
Hughes. But he is host in himself and
made the evening service memorable
one.
At the close OF his sermon he rected
in an impressive manner Mrs. Wilcox's
poem, "Deathless," and hand joining
hand we sang that dear, sweet hymn,
"In the Sweet Bye and Bye"
Verify the memories of the Ashley
Convention will linger long.
NOTES.
Our Bowling Green and Ashley peo-
pie deeply enjoyed the convention. 1T
was like the breaking up of a happy
family TO see the guests depart writes
Bro. j. W. Hendrick.
The State Y. P. G. U. met on Satur-
day, October 16, and held an enthusi-
astic meeting. President East presided,
aud, as usual, his enthusiasm dubbed
over on every turn. With such leader
our young people will accomplish great
results.
DR.. Nash arrived Saturday after.
noon and was vigorously cheered as he
entered the church. He made splen-
did address to the young people on Sat
urday night, and his presence was a
source Of inspiration to all.
All delegates and friends esteemed
their visit to the home-nest of the Crow
family one of the great pleasures of the
convention. No wonder that from this
family have gone forth such stanch de-
tenders of the faith taught them at
mothers knee.
DIR. Shinn has done much valuable
work for Missouri. but his part in per.
suading Rev. G. r East to come to
Kansas City is the GROWING act. His
summer vacation was spent among the
eastern churches, where, with unfagging
persistence, he travelled from place to
place, telling Of his hopes and plans for
Kansas City and the great southwest,
and asking aid to accomplish the work
he believed to be of inexpressible i'm
portance to our church. Our Kansas
City parish has proven itself worthy of
such leader. Its church will be built
this year.

CLERICAL PAY IN ENGLAND.

While we Americans have little direct
interest 10 the fortunes of the Established
Church of England. il is a subject to
which the traveller turns with some
attention. Here especially in London
and the larger cities we have found the
newspapers discussing the finances of
the church, and observed some eigps of
great unrest and foreboding. When an
Englisbmsn has any gTievan he ven
tilates it by writing to the newspapers,
and macy clergymen are complaining
that owing to the decreased Income from
tithes and the increased taxation laid
upon them by government. their in.
comes are greatly impair d. 1t is very
evident from their statement that a
number Of them could not live without
private resources. and the income from
many of these churches is astonishipgly
small. So noticeable is this, that while
one of the most important papers Joins
in criticistng the Archbishop of Canttr.
bury for his appointment OF young ard
untried clergyman to an important
rectorship, and passing by large num-
Der OF more experienced men in his
diocese, the editor declares that the
appointment is possible only for man
OF personal fortune, though it is large
field. The chief officer Of ore of the
church societies looking to theincI eased
effort OF the clergy, urges assistance by
the government like Queen Annes
bounty, aod declares that the condition
of affairs is constantly growing worse.
He remarks that the noncomformist
conscience has recently ceased to agitate
disestablishment, prob ,bly because it
realizes how unenviable the establish.
ment has become. The more dignitied
newspapers cannot refuse to acknowl-
edge that the state OF affairs is very
grave, and the support of the clergy in
the church Of England ia in general
greatly impaired. They do not hesitate
to say that families are cessing to have
their sons enter this ministry, and that
the remedy for these difficulties is beyond
their ken.-Nelo York Observer.
