SAVINGS WELL CARED FOR.

The half yearly statements of the savings
banks of this State prove that the practice Of
thrift has been making much progress IN the
opening part OF the new century. Additions 10
deposits and TO the lists of depostOrs have
shown encouraging advances In comparison
with Withdrawals and the closlngs ~ accounts.
New recruits to the great army of the provi-
dent are constantly enlisted, and the laying
aside OF earnings against possible rainy days is
steadily becoming a more widely prevalent Gus
tom among the host Of wage earners. More
over ii is true that the admirable management
Of the savings institutions of New York, under
a system OF laws which govern every detail of
administration with sagacity. strengthens the
confidence of the prudent and the cautious who
are easily alarmed if disturbing rumors are set
aflOat
No other State in the Union can show a cleaner
record than that of New-York in its wholesome
legislation with respect to savings banks. No
commonwealth guards more zealously the best
interests of the hundreds of thousands OF men
and women who are setting aside week by
week, month by month and year by year what
they can spare from their present earnings for
the time when old age or sickness or other mis-
fortune may put them on the shelf

THE C0NEY ISLAND IMPROVEMENT.

The plan to make the tract of land which the
city owns at COney Island decent and inviting
seems to be deserving OF support. Two or three
years ago. when it was proposed to create an
elaborate seaside park there at great expense
the scheme found little support except on the
part of persons whose judgment was weak or
who might reasonably be suspected of selfish
motives and the effect of that eXtravagant sug-
gestion temporarily TO discredit such an
apparently modest and sensible project as the
Controller is now promoting. The cityS prop
erty on the island comprises about seventy
acres ard II Is estimated that an expenditure
of from $4,000 to $4,000 will convert it into
a pleasant and wholesome resort. which will
become so popular and useful as to justify fur
ther appropriations from year to year. Plans
for improvements which. so far as they go, are
intended to be of permanent character are
already being made. and the Board of Estimate
is expected to approve them without much
delay.
Until more definite knowledge of what the
authorities wish TO do is obtanabe il may be
well TO reserve judgment, but at least it is safe
TO say that the city has too long neglected 10

and that a few thousand dollars would be well
spent in making the spot clean, safe and

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice Of a Famous Physician.

First and foremost, REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have it. If the attack is severe go to
bed and remain there. More fatalities
result from neglect of this precaution
than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive Or
gans are in no condition to take care
of large quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure cold water. 1t
allays the fever stimulates the kid
neys to action and opens up the
of the skin. Keep the bowels open
with DR.. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of DR.. Miles Ner-
vine per day. and if you cannon sleep
take an extra dose at bedtime. To
further control the fever, and to over
come the peculiar aches and pains Of
grip, use DR.. Miles Pain Pills. They
act quickly and effectuaily, and nc
bad effects result from their use.
These remedies have been thoroughly
tested more than million times, and
their efficiency is thoroughly estab.
lished. They never fail to give relief
DR.. Miles, Remedies can be found
at any drug store, and they are sole
on positive guarantee that first bot
tie or package benefits or money re-
| funded.

PROCTOR GOES 70 CUBA.
The Vermont Senator to Study the
Present Conditions in the
Island.
WILL Be ABSENT ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
Number of Congressmen Contemplate
Ing the Summer to Gain Better
Knowledge of Situation There
Launching of the Ohio.

New York, March Ex-senator Red
field Proctor, of Vermont, it is an
nounced, has gone to Cuba and will be
absent about two weeks. According
to special from Washington to the
Herald Senator Proctor's visit to
Cuba is taken to mean that the admin
istration is not entirely satisfied with
the official reports it is getting regard
ing the sentiment of the island toward
the United States.
Reports that systematic agitation is
being carried on in the island do not
accord with dispatches the war de-
partment has been receiving from
Gen. Wood, the military governor,
and Horatio S. Rubens, who has civil
Office under the government.
Following the destruction of the
Maine, in 1898, while war was impend-
ing, Senator Proctor made an extend
ed tour of the island, reported in ex-
tense to the president, and later
made speech in the senate detailing
the conclusions he had drawn from his
investigation. It is believed now that
Mr.. Proctor will make similar inyes-
tigation.
