4 STRANGE MOTHER
Is Mrs. John Ike Stevens - Deserts
Her Daughter Who is Dying
With CONSUMPTION.

Yesterday the Associated Charities
and the township trustee were trying
to get Mrs. John Ike Stevens to go to
the Home for the Friendless to nurse
her daughter Bertha, who is i'll with
consumption and who was to be taken
thither. The woman's father had
agreed to take the other children and
care for them, and the mothers duty
appeared to be with tae sick daughter
VINO is . young woman about 10
years of age. The mother indix-
nantly refused and said it was the
duty of the people of the charita-
BILE organizations to take care of
the daughter. Ali assurances tnat her
father would care for the other chill
dren were of no avail. The city mis-
sionary went to the teleph ,ue to cali
the trustee While she was gone, q
distance of some square the mother
picked up all her children Tut the girl
who was dying of consumption. and
leaving the invalid alone ii the 10 Ise,
ehe skedaddied with all her might, set
Ting the q iestion Of maternal duty in
her own way. The girl WAS taken to
the nome and il cared for there as well
as she can be. The case is hopeless
one and her death is only q matter OF
q short time.

Business and Pleasure.

The proprietors and employees of the
Boston Store had q very original and
enjoyable gathering last evening at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Hase-
meier in Linden Hill. Several days
ago invitations were received by all
the clerks of the store. inviting them
to the home of Mr.. Hasemeier. stating
that the object of the meeting was to
be two fold-business and social-be-
lieving that an evening together, away
from the active, everyday business of
the store. would be profitable and en-
loysble to all Every one was invited
to present something that would be of
interest and value to the store in
general, department or individual.
This was entered into most heartily by
all. Many new methods. plans and
things IN general leading to the further
advancement of the Atore were dis
cussed. The firm believes that the
interests and relations of the employers
and employees are one and mutual;
what is for the good of one must prove
to the good of the other.
After the discussions the party
were invited 10 the dining room,
whers 40 elaborate lunch was served.

COLLECTING CAEC<s.
Hitherto for Such Work.


Hitherto for Such Work.
There is coming into vogue among
the banks q new custom, that OF de-
manding clearing house charges for
collecting checks written on o.tside
banks. This custom has prevailed
hitherto only in the case OF checks
on country banks where there we're no
cleariu 2 houses and where the city
banks where the check was presented
had nc agent The New York bank
ing houses and those of a larger num-
Der OF cities throughout the country
have established custom of charging
from ten cents to twenty five cents Oh
each check payable outside the several
cities, all charges above ten cents
being a certain fraction of one per
cent. of the face of the check. The
New York clearing house has issued 3
statement setting forth what states
and what cities in such states we've
exempt from clearing house charges.
Indiana and all the cities thereof are
included in the list. So far the local
banks are able to collect payment free
of charge of checks on banks in Illinois,
fOuiou6 auu OuiO, Out Wuou tuo o9uAS
of the large cities in their vicinity
adopt the system, as they claim they
will do soon. nesrly every cheex
presented at the loo Al banks, except n
the home banks, will have q fee of 10
to 25 cents for its collection.
The claim of the banks and clearin =
houses is that the m We is made to & u
rid OF the expen Q and annoyance of
the multitude of CHECKS used In trans
mittine money from one city to al
other, or in paying money in one
city on the siren .th OF a deposit
held in another city or town. The
| actual expense of collecting such
checks is very considerable, and the
banks desire to persuade. in some
practical manner. th-ir customers 20
use drafts instead of checks in such
ltransactions.
| The Richmond banks have always
| been exceedingly accommodating IN
the matter of collecting checks, bat

OF the IoIst is Gossipped About BY the
Anderson Bulletin.
Intimate friends and some relatives
of Col. w. T. Durbin, of this city, says
the Anderson Bulletin, say they would
not be surprised if the colonel should
change his residence soon after his
muster out of services as colonel OF
the l61st Indiana infantry, now at
ia. Those who claim to
be next to the colonel have reason for
saying that it is almost q settled
thing in the colonel's mind that he will
remove to indianapolis or Washington,
d. c. He has disposed of some of
his manufacturing interests here and
has other affairs in such shape now
that they can be attended in his alb
sence. He is said to be slated for
another appointment from the govern
ment. This is construed by the colo
nel's Acquaintances as a sort of prcmis-
ed reward for his work as Mckinley
campaigner.
