TOWN BONDS SOLD.
Seasongood & Mayer, Of Cincin-
natl, take them at par.

They want the whole amount voted and
the Bank Of the Monongahela Valley
will not get the $4,000 which they
agreed to take from the Council
The Firm is very much pleased with
the town and the People-The Com.
mittee and the Firm have agreed but
there has been no contract made yet
The bonds will be ready In a few
days-The bids will close ON June Is
and Brick will be laid by July l.
The whole thing will be done by Nov.
18th.
The firm of Seasongood Il Mayer,
of Cincinnati, are struck on Morgan
town and the people here. They not
only bought the school bonds at
handsome premium but they have
made an agreement with the COM
mittee from Che council on the sale
of the town street paving bonds to
take them at par They want the
whole lot and will take those already
asked for by the Bank of the Monon-
gahela Valley. The committee has
agreed to the proposition and the
contract will be made at once. Ev-
erything has been agreed upon and
there seems to be no chance of a
failure anywhere.
The representative of the firm who
was here but who has gone home
was very much pleased with Nor
gantown and the evidence of push
and progress which he saw here.
He told the members of the council
who talked with him that it was a
very rare thing for town this size
to sell four and half per cent.
bonds. People will not buy them
as the population is not large enough
to warrant the purchase. However
he said that he had no hesitancy in
taking them here for he was fully
satisfied that we could do more than
any town of its size in the country.
The amount of bonds which he
has taken is $4,000 Ten thousand
of this will go to pay off the float
ing debt of the town and the rest
will be used in street paving. The
bonds are now being printed in St.
Louis and ought to be here in few
days. When they are received and
the contract duly made the money
will be available for paving and the
work can go right on.
The bids for the work will be in on
June 18th and with the whole
amount voted for paving available
the work can be completed this sum-
mer as far as the money will go.
This is the intention of the council;
to do everything that can be done
between now and the 10Th OF No
vember. The contractors will have
until that time TO get done what
they have to do.
Actual brick laying can begin by
the first of July and the work will
be carried ON as fast as it can be
done That has been the policy of
the council since they went into
office. They have pushed things as
fast as they could have been done.
The whole thing from start TO finish
has been done in the very best way
possible and it has been done as
fast it could have been done that
way.
Every one endorses the work Of
the council and their success thus
far has been very encouraging. The
people here will be very glad when
they see dirt begin to move to make
place for the brick which is to form
our streets. This is on the eve of
realization and all who have been
interested in the matter feel very
good over the way things are going.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

from Our Regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 81, 1897.
Some of the ablest men in con-
gress are carefully watching the
development Of the European
grab game in China. They have
no particular interest in whether
China is controlled by Chinese
or by Europeans, but they have
deep interest in the inainten-
ance of the rights of the U. S. in
China, which are now guaranteed
by treaty, and they believe that
this government should notify
the powers interested that it will
insist upon the maintenance of
those treaty rights, commercial
and otherwise, in China, but, un-
less satisfactory information on
the subject shall be obtained be-
fore congress feassen1foles, it is
probable that the information
will be promptly called for by a
resolution of the senate.
Although President Mckinley
failed to endorse ali Of Secretary
Cages financial recommendations
III his annual message to con-
gress, the developments of the
week have made it apparent that
he has no objection to the active
aud aggressive fight that Secre-
tary Gage is making in behalf of
those recommendations. While
tlt is, not true, as was reported
several days ago, that Secretary
Gage rendered his resign alton
aud that it was declined, it is
known that he told the president
he was willing to resign If his
attitude on the financial question
was embarrassing the adnlinistra-
ton, and that the president told
him in effect to so ahead that he

is l shilling, or "a cents. How
ever, smaller amounts may be
saved by stamps. A child with
a penny may buy a stamp aud
affix it to a card. When this card
contains twelve stamps it can be
deposited as shilling, and the
depositor is entitled to receive a
passbook. This arrangen n t
makes the institution very popu-
lar among the children, and is SO
convenient as to stimulate them
to make use of its advantages.
In addition, the schools are fire.

for the postal bank for the collec-
ton Of savings. The teachers
receive the deposits of the children
and turn them over to the postal
bank authorities. Belgium is one

activities of abe savings bank are
extended to the school room. Out

deposit books was l54,192, of
whom $500 were boys and o.
SSS girls. Including the schools
aboye primary grade there were,
according to a recent report,
$3.50 schools Of ali kinds in
which 2O0,s47 pupils had saved

schools of Belgium, therefore, it
may be said, teach thrift and
economy with their instruction

The spectacle of the postoaices

Iculcating in them habits that will
be Of great value to them in later

person an advocate of postal

Stop the Cry of Hard Times.

Longmont Colo Ledger: Denver
is at last coming to her senses. A
mass meeting of business neh at the
Chamber of Commerce building was
held Tuesday evening, said meeting
being called by the Denver Chamber
of Commerce, the Mining, the Denver
Real Estate Exchange, the Auditorium
Board and the Festival Board. Speech
es were made by prominent professional
and business men, to the effect that
the hard times had practically passed
and that prosperity is at hand.
The fact is, since the last presiden-
tial electiin when Bryan was defeated
the Denver papers have evidently
thought that it would please their
patrons to publish all the failures pos
sible, and hold back pretty much all
items or editorials that had hopeful
tone to them. But better times have
come, notwithstanding, and the Den
yer business meh are tired of such
talk and wish to rect the signs Of the
times and assist in making things 60.
Denyer is a prosperous city and daily
becoming more SO. There never were
such good times in any town on earth
where everyone was prosperous. Some
never consider that good times have
reached them until money flows into
their pockets without work. But
those in Denver and elsewhere in Colo.
rado who have steadily kept at what
eyer their hands found to do, are be-
ginning to reap the benefit.

SCIENCE uTILIzEs ALE THE OK.
Every Particle Put to Use; Only Its Dying
Breath Lost.

In article on the "Wonders of the
Worlds Waste" William George Jor-
dan, in October Ladies Home Journal,
details how science at the present day
utilizes the OK. ssNot many years ago, F"
he says, when an OK was slaughtered
40 per cent of the animal was wasted:
at the present time nothing is lost but
its dying breath AS but one-third of
the weight of the animal cons lists of
products that can be eaten, the ques-
rion of utilizing the waste is a serious
one. The blood is used in refining
sugar and in sizing paper or manufac-
tured into door knobs or buttons. The
hide goes to the tanner: horns and
hoofs are transformed into combs and
buttons; thigh bones. worth $50 per
ton, are cut into handles for clothes
brushes: fore leg bones sell for $50 per
ton for collar buttons, parasol handles
and iewelry: the water, in which bones
are boiled is reduced to glue; the dust
from saving the bones is food for cattle
and poultry; the smallest bones are
made into bone-b black. Each foot yields
a quarter of pint of neat's foot oil:
the tail goes to the soup while the
brush of hair at the end Of the tail is
sold to the mattress maker The choic-
Ell parts OF the fat make the basis of
hutterine; the intestines are used for
sausage castings or bought by gold
beaters. The undigested food in the
stomach. which formerly cost the pack
ers of Chicago $50. 900 year to remove
and destroy, is now made into paper.
These are but few of the products Of
the abattoirs. All scraps unfit for any
other use find welcome in the glue pot,
or they do missionary work for farm
ers by acting as fertilizers"

PURPOSE OF SAVINGS BANKS.
To Encourage Fsuga!ity and Wise
Investment BY the Poor.


In Lewin's "Hlstory Of Savings
Banks" occurs the following quo
tation, indicating the chief object
to be kept in mind by those wish
ing to benefit the poor by helping
them. to safeguard their small
accun1ulations:
81 do not imagine that there
can be any more important end
and object of a state than to eu-
courage frugality, and the invest
ment of the savings of the poor,
and there is nothing which /

were a legislator; but think the
| great test and object OF whatever
investment / provide especially
for them must be extreme and
perfect certainly. Increase in
amount Of interest or profit is
as nothing as compared to se-
curity.o
This quotation gives the cur
rent idea as to the chief purpose
w11icl. a savings system should
subserve and the great object Of
the national government in es-
tablislling such system. For
realizing this object nothing yet
devised can equal postal savings
banks, for they make the security
to the depositor coextensive with
the stability of the government
itself. The mutual savings banks
of New England are very credit
able institutions aud probably
serve the needs of the persons Of
small means III those communities
as we'll as any private institutions
can. Still, even they will not
compare with postal savings
banks, either in the convenience
they offer to depositors or in Sc
curity. They would, indeed, pay
a slightly higher rate of interest
to depositors than would a post
Office bank, aud those seeking
the higher interest rate could
avail themselves of this advan-
tage. But to most persons Of
small means this is very trifling
matter a.. compared with the alb
solute security which the postal
savings system affords. Chicago

Major Picker held up an old soldier

Mr.. Mcdowell, by the way. has also
been an ardent and constant worshiper
at the shrine of Senator Pettigrew.
The.story goes that Major Picker and
| Mcdowell were in Washington as can
dates for Office at the same time, the
major for commissioner of pensions
and Mcdowell for commissioner of
| Indian affairs. All went well until
Mcdowell thought he reason to be-
tlieve that the major was about to
switch his candidacy from pensions to
Indian affairs, when he straightwaY
gsprung the hold-up story, alleging
Ethat he first heard of it through con-
versation. between Capt. Gipson and
1 the majors private secretary, and that
afterwards he had q full confession
from Gipson's own lips. Mcdowell
took the story to the president and to
tSenator Pettigrew, and the latter
called at the White House and advised
the president that if the major was
appointed to any place that needed
confirmation he would make the
4 charges public in the senate. This is
the inside history of an affair which
has caused much talk in the state and

FLORENCE DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 49, 1898


To such pitch Of exasperntion did
the practice of using buttons in the
shirt drive the men Of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan OF wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts The popular idea
that men wore armor In order to fight
In it is manifestly absurd, since no man
could possibly have fought when in
cased in half hundredweight of metal
Armor was worn solely in order to
avoid the worry Of shirts with missing
buttons
There were distinct advantages con-
nected with the chain steel shirts.
When one OF these garments came home
on Saturday night from the washer
woman, the owner could feel reasona-
bly, certain that the metallic clasps at
the neck and in the bosom were all in
their proper places, for no washerwom-
an could have succeeded in detaching
them without the use of cold chisel
If it did SO happen that the washerwom-
ans husband had been run over by q
steam roller while wearing steel shirt
belonging to one Of his wife's custom
ers, and one Of tho metallic fnstenings
had thereby been injured. the customer
in question could not accuse his wife
of negligence and demand to know why
she failed to keep his shirts in proper
repair. Answers
