PUBLIC SCHOOL DEPOSITS.

The public school savings bank at
No. 10 school has been in operati III
now about two years, and in looking
over accounts for that time It is not
without a marked degree Of satisfac-
tion that the teachers find the prog
ress steady and practical.
An experiment at first, 1t has de-
veloped into enthusiasm that bids fdi:'
to be permanent, because of the les.
sons in thrift and the growing habit
Of saving among the young, which
are bound to be attended by innumer-
able blessings. both moral and mate
rial
Figures bear excellent testimony to
it's growth. The West Side bank from
this one building alone has 32S depos.-
tors on its books, and in the time
mentioned above these little capitalists
have deposited sl,sS97l. The with
drawals amount to very little and in
every instance the money has been
put to good use.
Doctors bills, winter clothing and
Christmas gifts for parents or friends
made the only reductions in the ac-
count once started. Parents have bee,
most instrumental in furthering the
cause of this virtue Of frugality am
| the press has been no less jealous ID
its support.

The viaduct campaign committee OF
he West Side board of trade met last
evening in the rooms over the bank
and discussed the plans for carrying
on the work incidental to booming the
present plans now before the public.
It might be we'll to add that the com.
mittee proposes to boom the IrojeCt
to build the viaduct on the south side
Of the street, whether the Delaware,
I.ackawanna and Western railroad
contributes anything towards it or rot.
and they are using some very per-
suasive arguments for the construc-
tion Of the contemplated viaiucl.
T. Fellows Mas)1, chairman of %hc
committee. nnouncc1 nat he had 7
very satisfactory interview yesterday
afternoon with Manager Silliman. of
the street railway company. and was
assured that the company is heartily in
favor of a viaduct. and will announce
In a few days the amount of money
that they propose donating towards its
construction. Mr.. Mason also stated
that the options on the Stove works
property also remain at the same fig
ures quoted three years ago, and that
inasmuch as the Stove company owns
n6ll OF tne property III tHe Dlock on
the north side of the street, between
Seventh and Eighth streets, there will
be no claim for damages as far as they
are concerned.
It Is estimated by the committee that
n the viaduct was built in the middle
Of the street 1t would cost, together
with the damages that would be asked,
over $500, 1000. The property which the
owners allege would be damaged is
valued at 100000. and arguing that the
value would decrease one-half. there
would be 5000. 900 damages alone to pay
But on the other hand, it is contendes
that the proposed plan, which will cost
sl50.000. will not only widen West
Lackawanna avenue and lessen the
traffic over the crossing, but it will en-.
hance the value of the property. This
contention is based on the fact that the
ground underneath the proposed VIA
duct will be utilized as a market place
and thus make it the principal whole
sale trading centre in the city.
The practicability Of the mark;

OF view. is given in comparison wit.

HE LIKES TO WORK.
A Millionaire Hotel Owner Who Runs
the Elevator.

A Millionaire Hote> Owner Who Runs
the Elevator.
There Is n millionaire in San Francis
co who runs an elevator every day as
industriously as though he belonged to
cage operators union instead Of
capitalists club.
1t Is decidedly out of common to see
n thousand dollar bediamonded hand
controlling the lever of an elevator and
to know that the man who opens the
door Of the cage for you could draw
negotiable check for 100000 as easily
as you could step in or out of his pres
ence. Nor Is it at all usual for elevator
passengers to have their eyes dazzled
by diamond worth $1,000 blazing mt
them from cage operators shirt.
But Notwithstanding this capitalists
strict attention to business and the
brilllancy Of his jewels he could never
get n job in any hotel not his own.
Nobody in need of an elevator man
would consider him seriously for an
instant should he apply for employ
mcnt. Yet he is an excellent mechanic
and does not read yellow papered nov
els Whlle on DUTY.
The reason OF Millionaire Bradbury's
incligibility is his ayoirdupois.
What would be the use of lifting 200
pounds Of man each trip when 80
pound boy could do the work without
wear and tear on the basement ma
chinery, not to mention the unnecessary
frayng Of wire cables?
A representative of The Examiner
found William r. Bradbury in the cage
Of the elevator at his hotel, rushing it
up and down the SHIFT as fast as cleo
tfcity could send It. But Mr. Brad
bury would not talk. He was busy
running his hotel and his elevator, he
said, and, besides, 1t wasn't any busi-
ness of the newspapers anyhow. Lcav-
Ing the elevator, lie slammed the door
and disappeared In his private office.
Mr. Bradbury is man of moods.
In subsequent interviews he good na-
turedly explained that he works be-
cause he wants TO. He has worked all
his life long. he says, and hns n right
to keep on working. Asked for the
names Of other pioneer milllonaires
who work, he said there Is none, be-
cause they arc all dend. Then he re-
called the names of some OF them
Fair. Flood. O'Brien. Stanford, Crock
er, Hopkins, Sharon. Ralston, Sutro
and Blythe.
"a mans got TO work to live" said
he, That's what hone and muscle are
given us for When you shut down
your engine, your boiler Ia going TO
burst.
How to get rich? That Is Just as
easy as anything else on carth--just as
easy. mind you. All you have to do is
to center your mind on It. Give up
everything else. Giveup friends, chill
dren, peace and comfort. Pleasure?
Take 1t seeing the dollars come In.
There Is fierce JOY Of conquest that
you feel over each one"
Millionaire Bradbury talks like
miser but his deeds are those of n
philanthropist, for he gives away dol
lars by the thousand to charity and
asks those benefited that nothing be
said about it.- San Francisco Exam

quaintance of their own daughters.
Some dainty dresses for these func-
tions are seen. One Is OF fine dotted

is wreath IF the little picayune roses
all around the bottom OF the lace skirt
and another about half way up to rep
resent a tunic, The waist was full and
not very low. hut was pompadour

has been evolved from white silk null
and little fine lace insertion one inch
wide laid over pale pink ribbon. The
skirt has one deep fiounce with Span
ish hending. The waist is not low on
the shoulders. and 1t has elbow sleeves.
A glance at the picture will show the
arrangement of the lace. The dress is
extremely girlsh and dainty and can
be made Of almost any sheer white
stuff.
While talking of the "buds" may
as well mention some other things
made expressly for them. There is n
beautiful new printed challie in the
rnost delicate Of figures on pastel
grounds. and this Is Just adapted for
young and slender figures. A very
pretty way of making this up is full
waist just little pointed in front un-
ller folded silk belt. The upper part
Is laid in plaits down to the bust line
and there left full. Over the plaits Is
yoke made Of white luxeull lace. The
sleeves are snug and long and edged
with lace. There is headed ruffie ten
inches deep at the bottom Of the skirt.
and this has a row Of the lace along
the bottom.
1t is almost astonishing what dressy
effects little lace gives when properly
applied. ! saw plain, Eight blue veil,
