SECRETARY'S REPORT.
To the stockholders of the Belding
Building & Loan Association In sub
mitting this semi-annual financial re-
port ending January i, 1900, allow me
to call your attention to the fact that
the first, second and third series OF
stock in this association matured since
July l. last report, and the same were
paid promptly off in full TO the lucky
ones holding shares in said series.
The next series, No. 4, will mature in
short time as shown by this report.
There is no longer any doubt or guess
work about maturing stock in this as
sociation as some outsiders predicted
in the past. The actual facts are that
money paid TO shareholders and loans
discharged speaks for itself. The as
sociation is in a very healthy and
prosperous condition. The delinquents
for the past six months have been re-
duced 90 per cent. The real estate on
hand is all In good condition and
rented with very good prospects dur
ing the coming year of selling the
same at good profit over and above
the cost "a tee association.

Philadelphia, Oct. st is the gem

the United Hfineworsser Will issue q.
call for convention of United Mine
workers to consider the offer Of in-
creased wages to be held at Scranton,
and the superstition is that Thursday
next will be named as the time. Mr.,
Mitchell, however, declined to give
publicity to the matters discussed by
himself and other officials of the or-s
ganization at secret conference
yesterday at Hazleton. and he gave
no intimation as to when the conten-
ton would be .held. This and other
questions to be considered at the con
'vention, were fully discussed at yes
terday's conference.
Indications are coming to the sur
face that hasty action will not likely
be reached on the questions by the
convention, and recesses will be taken
pending conferences of committees
with the operators. These conferences
will be requested for the purpose Of
reaching q; clear understanding as to

take the consequences. President

deavor to have the men preserve the
peace.

The natives Of Gomera, one Of the
Canary Isles, converse with one an
other by whistling on their fingers,
and, If you understood these different
whistles, you would find 1t possible to
understand a message a mile off. Each
syllable of word has its own peculiar
sound. Gomera is cut up by number
of deep glens, which are not bridged
over, and, as it would otherwise be
impossible for the inhabitants on sepa-
rate sides Of q glen to talk with one
another without going a long way
round to meet, they have hit upon the
whistling device as the best means of
communication.
