A CHARMING PLEASURE PARTY.
Col. and Mrs. <. O. BrodIe Entertain Young People in Honor of
 Visiting Relatives.

Visiting Relatives.
 Col. and Mrs. 4. O. Brodie gave a delightful afternoon and evenings entertainment yesterday to a mum Der of young ladies ana gentlemen, in honCr of their eastern relatives aud guests, the Misses Van Buren. During the afternoon the party took a horse back ride 10 Point of Rocks and return, winch, in the delightful autum weather now prevailing, was a pleasure from start to finish. Col. Brodie, whose years of service a3 an officer of cavalry in the United States army. admirably fitted hIm for the command of this battalion of fair and brave civilian pleasure seekers, performed the duties in a most gallant and officerly manner, although at times he found it diff cult to keep the ranks closed and in marching order.
 The return ride being made in the cool and bracing air of an autumn evening, just as the shades of twi- light were changing into the soft and mellowy light afforded by a November moon, the appetites of the party were whetted keenly for the appreciation of the elegant col lation. which awaited their return at the Brodie residence. Mrs. Brodie did not participate in the equestrian feature of the occasion, but remain ing at home. and had the residence beautifully decorated, as the refined taste of a woman of culture could only suggest, on the return of the party. Candles were arranged with artistic design throughout the apart ments for Illuminating them, which, combined with the other decora- tions, gave a most beautiful and pleasing effect. The refreshments served were quite elaborate, the menu embracing salads, fried oysters, roast turkey, jeilies, ices and dainties innumerable, and the evening had far advanced before the guests took their departure, with expressions of the great pleasure wkich had been afforded them by their genial host and hostess, Col. and Mrs. A. O. Brodie. Those present were: Mrs. Hugo Richards, Misses Mary Van Buren, Bessie Van Buren, Lucy Stikeman, Maud Scarborough, Inez Raible, Winifred Gould, Maud Bar low Massieks, Sadie Jenkins and Irene Martin. Messrs. Joseph Towne and A. O. Moves, of New York, T. G. Barlow Nj assicks, R. B. burmister, Elmer Wells, Walter c. Brandon and Fred. Moore.

THE "HAIR FROM A DOGS TAIL"

Belief in the curative powers OF "a hair
from the tail of dog that bit you" Is
not yet extinct and tho proof of that fact
came last week to the doctors I'm charge
of the st. Louis City Hospital. Under
their charge is little German boy who is
recovering from injuries inflicted some
weeks ago by n dog whose ferocity was
the result of tho animals disposition and
not Of bydrophobia. The chi'ds mother
was not satisfied with the treatment be-
was receiving and she appeared at the
hospital with little bundle which, after
many wrappings had been removed, was
found To contain few yellow bri4tles
about an Inch long. had some cure -
she said very grayely. MY nciebbors
they tell me OF him. and all says that If
I will put some hairs from the end OF her
tail Won der dog what bit mine kind, he
will b. sure to get veil. So | goes To the

Co explain that this phase Of homeopathy
was somewhat out ~ date, but the

THE HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD
ACCIDENT.

Whether or not the accident which oc.
CURED the other day on the Hudson River
Division of the-New York Central, near
Garrlsons was true accident, or whether
IL might have been foreseen and provided
against by q reasonable use OF human
knowledge and vigilance, 10 is YET too
soon TO say. When write these words no
thorough expert examination Of the condi-
tions has teen finished and reported, and
1t is too early to speak with confidence rs
to the exact physical facts, or even as to
the distinct cause OF the accident. Per-
haps 10y the time these words arc read the
result OF such an investigation will be
published. and the reader may then know
more about the conditions than l know
now. This would seem to be an occasion
for discreet reticence. but unfortunately.
congenial or business reasons forbid that
We should nll be reticent all the time.
From the facts now available l Judge
that this was an occurrence that was al
ways TO have been looked for rs possible,
but that it was very improbable; that the
chance of its coming just when train
was passing was still less probable; that
the cost Of providing against it was
great; and that, considering all things,
the risk was SD great, and that consid-
ering all things, the risk was so small
that the company was justified in taking
the chances. In other words, the cost Of
insurance would have been too great.
This Judgment is based on the theory
that the bank went out bodily, sliding
out on the underlying rock. The geologl.
cal situation is such that this kind of
movement might have taken place. ~But,
on the other hand, the bank was built 80
years ago. by Mr.. John b. Jervis, one OF
the soundcst and most eminent railroad
engineers of his time. II has stood ever
since without a sign of failure, and was
probably solidifying and becoming safer
as the years passed. The Hudson river
is not subject to scour or erosion. There.
fore, in the absence of warnings, the
officers Of the company were justified in
believing that the bank was safe.
The sliding out Of this bank could per-
bnps have been provided against py a
wall or crib built up from the underlying
rock, or by a change in the location Of the
line. Either OF these methods of protec-
tion would have been very costly. par
ticularly because 10 furnish real insurance
they must have been applied at various
places and for considerable distances.
Thus we como around TO the proposition
that the cost Of insurance was not war
ranted by the risk which was to be faced,
and could not have been justified to the
stockholders. Or to put it in another
way, it seems probably that the care which
the officers of the company have taken is
all that could reasonable be expected in
the estate of the art. '-H. q. Prout, in
Harpers Weekly.

BELGIAN SAVINGS BANKS.
They Are Managed by the Government.
Wide Field of Investment.

They Are Managed by the Government.
Wide Field of Investment.
In Belgium the savings institutions
maintained by the government are not
strictly postal savings banks, as they are
managed and controlled by board Of
trustees created for that purpose instead
OF being given over to the supervision OF
the postoffice department. The exact
designation used in the law Is general
bank OF savings and approximation. "
As early as 1850 the Belgian government
made provision for annrities or old-age
pensions. According to the law persons
could intrust certain sums to the govern
ment under condition that they receive
annuities in their old age. When Great
Britain established postal savings banks
the Belgians initiated the example TO the
'xtent OF establishing q savings ba NIX
under government control 10 which tho
bank OF superannuation or Old aga pen
sions was then annexed.
In management the Belgian savings
banks are quite similar To the mutual
savings banks OF New England, except
that the former are under government
and the latter under private control
Both are managed by trustees, who de-
rive no profit from the operation of tho
banks. The general council or toard of
trustees is composed Of a president and "a
mcmbers, appointed by the king for six
year terms, four members BEING appointed
each year. From this number is selected
of nI, ,;et, In. ~
the president and six members, who have
more immediate supervision over the
affairs of the bank. The director general
or manager is appointed and may TO re-
moved by tho king He receives salary
and gives bonds for tho faithful perform
ance OF his DUTY. The administration OF
the bank has been successful and popular.
For the year 1894 tie number of deposi-
tors was 1858, 699 out Of population Of
&, ,000, 200.
The latitude for investment Of funds
deposited with the Belgium savings
banks is wide, and is not confined to
government securities, as in Great
Britain. At tho discretion Of the general
council or board of trustees the funds
may he invested in provincial and com.
/ munal bonds, in mortgages on houses
and landed property and in the bonds OF
Belgian companies. Under certain con-
ditions, too. the bank may make loans
on stocks. In other worus the range OF
investment open to the government savings
banks in Belgium is about as.wide rs that
permitted by statute to the only savings
banks that are tolerated in the New Eng
land and few other eastern states.
The successful eAperieI CO OF Belgium
in investing savings funds in other than
givernment securities Is q stanflng refu-
tation of the argument that u government
savings. tank IN IfIc tuttct states could
not be trusted TO invest funds even in
state and municipal securities. II IL be
offered in objection that Belgium is
monarchy, the reply can be made that
similar methods Of investing savings funds
intrusted to government savings banks
are in successful operation in several OF
the Australian colonies, which have
Democratic government. - Chicago

LABOR AND THE RAILROADS.

The report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission just issued contains, for the
flrststime, some facts In relation to the
total amount of money paid out by our
railways in wages and salaries 20 labor.
These figures, embracing 30 per cent of
all employees show that for every 500
paid out as operating expenses of railways
more than $50 is paid over directly to
labor OF the remaining $40 probably an
equal, IL not n greater proportion, is in
directly paid out for labor.
The interes: of labor i'm this railroad
question is far greater than the interest
Of capital, and yet, fer some unknown
reason, says Robert B. Porter in the New
York Sun. tho defense Of these properties
has been left to capital, while labor has
until n comparatively recent time, taken
little interest i'm the conflict During a
period of nearly 25 years there has been
more or less national Legislation and an
infinite variety of state legislation in re-
lation 10 railways. and yet during that
whole period experts inform us that legis-
lation has never been friendly, but always
unfriendly, 20 railway interests As n
consequence of this, the capital originally
invested in railways has lost its earning
power and for every Sl0O thus invested
more than $40 has no earning power.
During this period there has been no
reduction in the rates paid labor. bot I'm
one way labor has suffered and severely.
The plight in which our railroads have
found themselves has not only actually re-
duced the number Of wnge-earners EN-
ployed, but. relatively to tho increase of
mileage has prevented the employmons
OF additional hands. On the basis of

RECORD-BREAKlNG NUGGETS.

While the nugget found in the Blue
likely to become famous for its size and
value, 1t is not, as has been stated,
the largest one known in the authentic
history of mining. This nugget stands
or, rather. stood-for il is now being
minted-for about $40, 900, but saying
nothing of an alleged Chilean nugget
weighing 400 pounds troy, the Welcome"
nugget of Ballarat, weighing 22l7 ounces
10 pennyweights was sold for over 10 800
pounds or nearly So. 500. 1t is even
question whether the Graves nugget is
the largest one ever taken from the soil
of California. According TO Hittelj, q
nugget was found ut Carson Hill. Calaveas
county, in Novem Der, 1854 which weighed
1876 pounds troy and was worth over
s43, 600. Between the two is no very great
issue OF values but what there Is favors
the early specimen.
The first nugget found in this state. the
one which Marshall picked up. was worth
but SO cents and the next one discovered
but S.. A soldier in Stevenson's regi-
ment found the Drst large specimen, mass
of gold weighing between twenty and
twenty five pounds while STOPPING to
drink in small sffluent Of the Moke-
lumc river This nugget was taken East
where ITS exhibition confirmed the stories
of California wealth and added naturally
To the public excitement there.
In 1854 the "Olive Martin chunk,
which was auriferous ore. mixed with
white quartz, was picked up near Camp
Corona, in Tuolumne county, i'm a hole
which Martin had dug to bury drowned
comrade. 1t yielded S22, 270 and became
the basis Of great fortune. In 1896
