CASH PAID ON CITY BONDS
QUARTER OF A MILLION FROM
SHEPARD & co.
Accepted Delivery of Bonds in Salt
Lake City to Avoid Further Con-
troversy.

To the surprise of a number OF city
officials, the long-pending deal with
shepard &, Co. of New York for the sale
Of Salt Lakes $4,000 worth of water
bonds came TO a focus yesterday after
noon. The only announcement that the
New York bond buyers had decided 70
accent delivery of the bonds IN SAT-
lake instead of New York, was mes
sage late in the afternoon to treasurer
Morris from the Deseret National bank,
stating that if he would bring the
bonds m TO the bank the sum due on
them would be paid.
When Treasurer Norris returned 10
his office from the bank he had
cashiers check on the Deseret Nation
al bank for $251. 273.24, representing the
principal. less S., 600 paid when the old
was accepted, S3,S29 premium ana ~
444.24 interest accruing from oct. L,
the date of bonds, until yesterday. Win
the money received Treasurer Morris
will pay off the city's general fund
overdraft at the banks, amounting TO
the sum of the outstanding warrants,
which was advanced toward paying Tor
the waterworks improvements.
w. p. O'Meara, the Salt Lake agent
of Shepard & Co, received a message
from the firm in which it was stated
that. to avoid further controversy, the
money would be paid here, although
they still insisted that under the terms
of the contract it was clearly payable
at New York Owing 10 the fact that
shepard & Co have this issue on their
hands they will not bid on the pro-
posed refunding issue.

Salvation.

If the shade of Oliver Wendell
Holmes ever comes to Tennessee and
runs against a certain individual in
the town of McNairy. the author will
understand why he wrote his beauti-
full sentiment Man wants but little

is Walker-Robert Z. Walker. All he
wants is $4,000, not for his personal
use, but to plug a new salvation into
the minds of the wicked world. Walk

that his requisitiOn should have reach

The exhibition opened shortly after
o'clock with an excellent programme
Professor Cooper, superintendent OF the
city schools, told of the impulse to soul

Too much cannot be said in praise of
the members of the Literary club who
have worked to make the exhibit a
success 1t is certainly an artistic
achievement and deserving or financial
success. The net proceeds will be used
to furnish a model school room in one
of the schools of the city.
At the art exhibit last evening those
present listened to q talk on Greek
Sculpture by Mrs. W. G. Jennings, and
witnessed an exhibition in clay model

GOLD DEMOCRAT
SCORES A POINT

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-A call has been is
sued for a meeting of the Illinois Dem
ocrattc state central committee, to be
held at Springfield on the evening of
Jan. Z. The issuance of the call for the
meeting on that date renders practical
ly certain the election of John 2. Hop
kinS of Chicago, who was chairman of
the Illinois gold Democratic state COM
mittee in 1896. as chairman of the state
central committee. The Hopkins fac
ton has wished for a meeting upon this
date, while the anti-HOpkins people
made strong efforts To have the meet
ing postponed until Jan. 10. Mr.. Bryan
is to be here Jan 3 and his friends We're
anxious that the selection of a state
chairman be postponed until after his
visit.
The Hopkins people, however, scored
a decided victory over the friends of
Mr. Bryan by having the cali issued
for the eth. The call is signed by TWEEN
ty-One out of a total of thirty-One men,
bers, all of whom will vote for Hop
kins. Among the signers of the call
is Thomas Gahan, Illinois member OF
the Democratic national committee.

BANKING SYSTEM
OF THE CHINESE
CThe Forum

CThe FORUM
The insecurity of Chinese houses and
the danger from fire make banks of de
post a necessity. Ali classes in China
have bank accounts. The business of
the banks is to discount paper, to ne
gOtiate bills of exchange, to loan money
on land or on personal property, and
to buy and sell the precious metals.
There is no government limit to their
establishment They sell bills of ex-
change at short dates to any point in
China. The HOngkong & Shanghai
Banking corporation and other foreign
banks have largely interfered with the
sale of foreign bills and bills running
for a long time. The banks Ordinar-
lily, except in Pelxin, pay interest on de-
pOSits, sometimes on daily balances.
They agree also to give the parties
every facility for borrowing. The Gus
tom is that a depOsitor can obtain on
his paper as a loan, twice the amount
of his deposit, but only for few days
accommodation. Deposits may be
withdrawn at viii, and the interest, ex-
cept in Pekin, is allowed up to the date
Of withdrawal. The foreign banks also
pay interest on deposits. but they stip-
ulate for fixed terms. The HOngkOng &,
Shanghai Banking corporation pays ;
per cent on fixed deposits. The bank,
for a consideration, guarantees the pa
per of its customers. 1t sometimes
happens here, as elsewhere. that the
deposits are ten or fifteen times greater
than the capital of the bank.
There exists in Pekin a clearing
house. system which will compare ia
vOrably with that of New York. Each
depositer receives from his banker a
book with two columns, in one of which
will be entered his deposits, and in the
other to his debit all the sums he may
disburse. He then sends all his cred
itors to his banker to be paid, and in
the evening he sends his book TO his
bankers. The next morning the clerks
of the various banks get together and
indicate in their books the various
sums that they are to diSburse or to
receive for their patrons. The balances
are paid in cash, or are left to stand
over on interest until the end of the
year Tt is said that the banks assist
each other in case of difficulty, and
that they extend the time of payment
to any solvent bank requiring it.
