The Vogue Of Handkerchief Collecting.

TO the mania for collecting spoons
and teapots, stems, rosarics and
other irrelevant things, is now to be
added a vogue of handkerchief col
lccting. To get together a new and
varied store Of these bits of linen
and lace is the ambition of many
women. The collection is not con-
fined to the costly specimens any
unique or attractive pattern, differ
cnt from any possessed, is eagerly
picked up. One woman counts fifty
handkcrchiefs in her collection at
which she has been at work only a
short time. Other collections are
much more extended, and indeed
these accumulations may be added
to almost indefinitely, so varied and
extensive is the assortment offered.
Often the handkerchiefs are souvc-
Mrs of travel or other priced associa-
tiOns.

The DIME BANKS
WONDERFUL SHOWING
A Statement Showing Magnificent
Increase and Wonderful Growth
in Every Particular from Year to
Yeer

The annual meeting OF the stock
holders Of the Dime Deposit and Dis
count bank was held Tuesday after
noon at 3 o'clock. At each recurring
annual meeting the stockholders have
looked forward for encouraging news
of progress and prosperity and they
have never been disappointed. The
record was fully maintained Tuesday.
After the meeting had been called to
order President Charles Du Pont Breck
made the following address:
TO the Stockholders OF the Dime Deposit and
Discount Bank OF Scranton:
While in business and local trade circles the
last year was not without its embarrassments
the present condition OF our bank is cause for
congratulation now, and full OF promise for the
future. In the account Of deposits and number
OF patrons there has been firm and steady
growth until these deposits exceed the sum OF
one and quarter millions Of dollars, and our
dcpositors number over twenty.three thousand.
For bank less than ten years old tins is u
most phenomenal attainment. The business OF
our bank for the year 1900 has been most excel
lent and our deposits show a large gain over the
previous year. Our net profits are larger than
ever before and ought to continue TO increase
with each succeeding year. Our income is in
creasing much faster than our fixed charges and
expenses We now have 100000 OF surplus an
amount equal TO our capital, and nearly $4,000
also OF undivided profits We, therefore. feel
we have demonstrated our strength and deserve
and will receive larger patronage each recurring
year. II would seem wise therefore, TO continue
our present policy leaving the greater part OF
our earnings each year in the surplus and profit
account. | feel confident that such a course
would be conducive TO the best interests OF de-
positors and stockholders. IL Is quite impossible
for bank TO C too conservative. Conservatism
in management best promotes the interests Of
the stockholders and the security OF the deposit
tors. Such management invariably receives the
confidence Of the people The reputation ac.
quired by such methods has evidently gone
abroad, and We now haze many depositors from
towns quite remote from Scranton. We paid to
our depositors for the six months ending Jan. l.
1901, over Sl2 600 in interest. Our losses for the
year have been less than four hundred dollars
almost nothing as compared with the amount
invested. With the assurances furnished by the
attainment OF Inc past, we may confidently an.
tcipate the renewal thereof, in the achieve.
mentS of the future.
The following statement will indicate to some
extent this growth OF the past ten years. II
shows an annual recurring increase with the ex.
cepton OF the year 1898, when you will rcinem
Der a serious financial crisis occurred.
Bank commenced business March 80, 1901.

SAW MANDREw.

The next councilman Harris saw that
day was j. j. McAndrew at his home
in Trip park. They talked about the
Speedway ordinance, but McAndrew
refused to give a promise. He allowed
Harris to give him $50. however, before
they parted, Harris says.
Some time later in the day Harris
met Thomas O'Boyle in the st. Cloud
OBoyle said he would not promise
anything, but took the $50 proffered by
Harris. The latter said the interview
and the payment of the money took
place in a private room on the first
floor of the st. Cloud.
On March o last Harris said lie gave
Coleman $50. and, on May 8, $50. Cole
man at first refused to accept the
money. but Harris told him 1t was to
recompense him for the money he had
spent with him and for what he had
done in councils and Coleman agreed
to take il.
E. A. Whitney was called and swore
that, with "a detective named Ander-
son, H. followed Harris on the day the
latter gave the money to councilmen.
Whitney said Harris had a carriage
and he and Anderson had another.
They drove after him and when he
entered a place they remained close by
until he came out.
