$526, ,000, 900. Great Britain has, besides
postal savings banks, 239 other savings in
stitutions, with a total of deposits of $254,-
O00, 900. The total OF all savings bank de-

JOY IN THE MORGAN KENNELS
A Prize Collie Gives Birth to Twenty
| Seven Puppies

Seven Puppies.
HIGHLAND FALLS, n. Y, Aug. 90
Robert Armstrong, the keeper of ]. Pier
pont Morgan's Cragston Kennels. was the
most surprised man north of Mott Haven
Sunday morning In making the round
of his charges quarters he found twenty
seven puppies lying beside an old prize
collie in one of the pens, which weren't
there when he had closed the kennels the
night before Armstrong rubbed his eyes
and pricked himself TO see that he was
| awake. and then began to count them.
He picked them up carefully, one at a
time and laid them down in another place.
and then carted them a second time back
into the original place, to be sure of the
number. There were surely twenty-seven
of them. all sturdy and likely to live Arm
leaned weakly against the building
All the other dogs take the liveliest in
terest in the puppies when an opportunity
presents itself, and nose and paw the little
ones over as they lie asleep.
Armstrong, who is supposed to know all
sorts of canine lore, said he never had
heard of so many puppies being born at
once. The only other case that approached
this was one he had heard of in Scotland.
He says every one is a coming champion.
Mr.. Morgan has been informed OF the
wholesale addition to his kennels. He has
probably the finest lot of collie dogs in
America Nearly all of them have taken
first prizes repeatedly. Several of them
are valued as high as 500 apiece. Among
the more valuable dogs in the Cragston

Political Activity in Hagerstown.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. Aug 2S-One hears
great deal Of politics in Hagerstown Just
at this time. Leaders of both parties pro-
fess to expect victory in the county and
on both sides there is an honest effort to
make strong ticket as it is well under
stood that the struggle will be close. 1t is
likely that the county is Republican by
small majority on a straight vote, but
there is much independence in voting and
there is a purchasable vote estimated by
the politicians at near 2.000 Much of
the campaign money is used in keeping the
party vote straight and the negro vote.

pressure and some liquidation. Later in the
day a rally occurred which regained the
losses in many cases. There was not, how
ever, during the forenoon much enthusiasm
ON the bull side. The market is apparently
in a hesitating mood, and ii was thought
that no particular movement would prob
ably take place during the day. The outlook
is for an advance when the market moves
in either direction, stocks being most stub

pressure is most strong.

such full information regarding its affairs
rs has undoubtedly been demanded in this
