WOULD HAVE NO EFFECT.
Boston Sub Clearing House Would Not
Alter Local Finances.

1.-THE organization of a sub-clearing
house for the collection Of county
checks by the Boston Clearing House
Association" said a prominent official
in local banking circles yesterday,
would have no effect on local financial
institutions. At all events, 1t would not
affect the customers.
Outside of the bare fact that each
bank under the Boston clearing house
scheme would have to pay $125 annu-
ally, and that expenses beyond this
amount would be assessed pro rata,
nothing is known as to the details OF
the organization here in Worcester.
Very likely circulars will be received
in a day or two explaining further the
methods to be employed by the Boston
sub-clearing house. 1t may be added
however, that no business will be done
outside of Massachusetts, at least for
the present.
As regards the local clearing house,
no action has been taken in refence to
the New York clearing house, which
only recently took such radical de-
parture in the collections of out of town
checks. Furthermore, as was eX-
pressed yesterday by one who knows
the condition of things that no action
would be taken. Each bank will look
after it's own customers. The plan of
the New York house is likely to be
modified further for unless this is done
the local banks must charge their Gus
toners for the checks. Some of the
banks at present make no charge. In
any case the method instituted at New
York is bad for the county bank. The
Philadelphia banks have been reach
ing out for business, in fact several
agents have been in Worcester, but the
city of Brotherly Love" is not the
place for business men, because the
transactions of this country.
In other cities, Waterbury, Conn, for
instance, the national banks have
transferred large part Of their ac-
counts from New York to Philadel-
phia banks. All the banks in that place
retain bank account with at least one
of fine New York banks, but the larger
part of the business will be done in
philadelphia.

William c. Breed, pension agent, 494

that many of the members of Cons
panies A, and II of the Second and
G of the Ninth are suffering from
ruined constitutions. He declined to
state the number of applications he
had forwarded to Washington.
j. Brainerd Hall and j. Elmer Hall,

Main street, gave malaria and rheu-
matism as the prevailing diseases for
which pensions were asked.
Many men are placing applications
on file who will not push their claims at
present.
More than 10000 applications have
been filed by the soldiers of the His
PIANO American war and most of them
are for inability brought about by
sickness. Strangely enough, the regi-
ments that ask most pensions are regi-
ments that have never been in battle.
1t is claimed that experts report a pos
sible pension roll for the Spanish war
alone of nearly $20000,0OO.
The state of Massachusetts has ever
been liberal to those who have served
her in the field. In the legislature
this week the committee on ways
and means has reported ought to
pass on the bill extending the present
military aid law to the soldiers who
fought in the war with Spain; also a
bill to extend the present state aid law
to the same class Of soldiers.

HOME OF THE FLAG.
Movement to Purchase Residence Of
Betsy Ross Strikes Worcester.

Patriotic Worcesterites are deeply in
terested in the movement to preserve
for all time as a shrine Of the country's
heroes, the home of Betsy Ross, who Is
credited with having fabricated the
first American flag, which, with few
notifications, has remained the ma
tional banner to the present day.
The movement for the accomplish
ment of this purpose is called the
American Flag Home and Betsy Ross
Memorial Association" Many Worces-
ter warriors who distinguished them
selves in the civil war have Joined the
association, Gen. Charles w. Wood be-
ing one of the first of the Worcester
veterans to sign. The movement has
received the support of President Nc
Kinley. 1t is hoped by the means Of
the membership fees derived from all
members who may join throughout the
country to secure enough money to buy
the home from the present owners, and
after refitting 1t and providing for its
care and perpetuatiOn, to deed it to the
state of Pennsylvania.
The house where Mrs Ross first de-
signed the flag is situated at 239 Arch
street, Philadelphia, and is yet in gOsAi
condition. It was here that Mrs. Ross
first unfolded the stars and stripes be-
fore Gen. Washington and her hus-
band, Col. Ross.
Mrs. Ross herself lies buried at
Mount Moriah cemetery, with but a
simple slab to mark her final resting
place. The association intends to erect
more elaborate monument to her
who contributed to the world the most
beautiful national emblem ever seen.
The canvass Of the city to secure more
subscriptions will be continued, until
success finally crowns the movement

FELL OFF S4,ooo.ooo.

It will interest Worcester merchants
to learn that there was a decrease of
nearly s4,OOO,OOO in last weeks deposits
of the associated banks of New York,
as compared with the previous week.
This falling off in accounts is believed
to be due principally to the enforce
ment of the new clearing house rules,
imposing a charge for out-oftown col
lections.
The executive committee of group s,
of the New York state bankers asso-
citation met at the Hotel Manhattan on
Saturday to discuss the country check
tax problem. After the meeting a
member of the committee is quoted as
saying that country banks will, as a
rule. endeaVor to give their customers
as liberal terms as ever, despite the ac-
ton of the New York clearing house.
There are cities whose banks will do
the country check business free of
charge, and the tendency will be for
country banks to take advantage Of
this opportunity.

Says Chicago Papers Had Unneeessar

The sensational press of Chicago has
been considerably wrought up of late
over the lectures of DR.. C. Stanley Hall
which he recently delivered in that city
in the course of which he incidentally
mentioned fighting and flogging as be
ing of occasional educational value in
the rearing of some kinds of boys.
Dr. Hall says he has been grossly
misrepresented both in that matter and
in regard to a fake story that he once
attempted to empty an insane hospital
of it's patients by declaring them sane.
