RELIC OF THE WOODEN NAVY.
Old friGats Franklin Win Sos Be
Abandoned as Cseiess.


From the Washington Star: THE
ancient frigate Franklin. a relic OF the
old wooden navy, which has been used
Tor many years as receiving ship at
the Norfolk navy yard. Is soon to be a
deserted hulk" said naval officer, who
has recently visited tho Virginia naval
station. she was examined not long
ago by board OF officers and it is be-
lieved they will submit a condemnatory
report, The policy of tho department,
as is generally understood. Is to do
away with the time -honored but an
tiquated and out-ot-date system OF re-
ceiyng ships. substituting for them

acter to the quarters occupied by en-
listed men at army posts The jackies

landlubber all OF his natural life. While
the receiving ships Of today are moth
ing more than great floating houses,
there is nevertheless an air OF the sea
about them and this tho old dogs
among the men love. Dismantled and
rooted over. the ships haven't much
resemblance to seagoing craft. An
other thing In connection with the re-
celvIng ships Is that the families OF
commanding officers are allowed to live
aboard. The Franklin Is a historic old
boat, and It has been suggested that
one might buy her when she is put up
at auction and place the craft on ex-
hibitlon in different ports, This would
hardly seem to be n profitable under
taking"

Bank Accounts and Women.

That women are more and more be-
coming n strong factor in the banking
business is well recognized by presi
dents. cashiers and other officials Of
banking institutions, says the Boston
Transcript, and II person drops casu-
ally into some leading bank he usually
finds several women there transaCting
their own business affairs, just as cas-
lily as do men. There formerly was 4
prevailing idea that women knew COM
paratively little about banking mat
ters and the proper way to conduct
them. While some women have little
natural aptitude for business, when
invariably remember 1t and seldom
make the same error twice. They are
quick to learn and most accurate and
careful, as a rule, in their accounts,
Few people have any accurate idea of
the number of women who keep sep
arate accounts or who own stocks and
bonds. Many are the widows OF
wealthy men, while some have inherit.
ed large sums of money from fathers
or other relatives, and there is con-
siderable and growing class OF women
either actively engaged in business or
silent partners in some enterprise
from which large dividends are drawn.
In all this women undoubtedly show
quite as much business tact as men.
1t is getting to be more and more the
custom to pay household bills with
checks, the bank account for this be-
ing carried in the name OF the mis-
