HIGH-WATER CIRCULATION PER

Hidden away amid the several thousand words
of PRESIDENT McKinlcy's letter Of acceptance arc
four figures that tell a remarkable tale of the
solid basis Of our present monetary system,
Speaking OF the increasing volume of our cur
rcncy he compares the per capita circulation Of
$40 50 on July l, 1900, with the S2l.l0 of 1896;

II the per capita circulation were calculated
on 76,oOO.OOO which is the conservative estimate
of the population Of the United States today, it
would he over $3.50, or almost double what it
was at the outbreak Of the war. During the last
twenty years under "thc existing gold standard"
the amount of money in circulation in the
United States has more than doubled.

Loan Associations. A
TNHE DISASTER that has

n and loan association, says

overtaken another building
n and loan association, says
the Pittsburg Times will
have the unfortunate tendency to cast
a doubt over the trustworthness of the
institutions generally, a thing that is
not deserved. If a building and loan
association is managed along the cor
rect and simple fundamental lines
upon which the associations We're at
first established, and is carefully
watched by the directors, there is not
much danger Of failure. But if the
association gets into foreign waters,
attempting schemes which are not the
legitimate functions of the associa-
tiOn, or venturing upon methods that
complicate the management there Is
reasonable certainty of danger.
The managers of these associations
must cOnfine themselves to the busl-
ness of loaning money on the ample
security of good mortgages if they ex-
peCt to be successful. If the business
begins to decline it is far wiser and
more profitable to retire stock and
narrow the limits of the transactions
than to jeopardize the money of the
investors by departing from the safe
and simple rules of true building and
loan practice. Nothing can be safer
than the building association properly
conducted, but the original ideas of
building and loan practice must be ad-
hered to, and the directors must give
the association careful and conscien-
tious attention. Investors should keep
their money out of associations where
these things are not done.

WOMAN'S GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
Miss Ruth Underhill Defeated by Mrs.

Southampton, N. Y, Aug. 29.-The
surprise in the first round of match
play to-day in the women's national
championship was the defeat of the
champion, Miss Ruth Underhill of the
Nassau Country club, who was beaten
by Mrs. Pendleton Rogers of the Hill
side Tennis and Golf club of Plainfield,
N. J. 1t was most interesting match
and was only lost through misput on
the home green.
A good-sized gallery followed the
match between Miss Beatrix Hoyt and
Miss c. H. Parrish, but it was so one
sided that all interest was lost when it
was seen that Miss Hoyt was bound to
win with ease, so her followers went off
to look at other matches Miss Gene
We've Heolter, whom many regard as a
possible winner, was not put to her
best work, as she held a comfortable
lead on Miss F. e. Wickham and won
without difficulty.
