THE PENNY SAVINGS BANK.

The Provident Association Of st.
Louis has taken up as an encourage
ment to popular thrift the establish
ment of a penny savings bank. 1t is
pointed out that some cities in this
country, notably New York, Philadel-
phia, Boston, Detroit and st. Paul,
have penny banks in operation.
Scarcely a European city of any i'm
portance but has some sort of penny
savings institution, though in some
countries the government has direct
control and supervision.
1t is urged that every large city needs
an instrumentality by which the ex-
tremely poor may lay up a little mon
ey against the proverbial rainy day,
and it is said hat wherever the plan
has been adopted it's success has been
pronounced.
Contributors to the st. Louis Prov
ident Association says the Republic
of that city, will watch the growth of
this new feature with interest. I'm
providence is the greatest enemy of the
poor. Heretofore small inducement of
a substantial nature has been held out
by any organization in the city toward
making thrift cumulative. The min
imum Of deposits has been too high.
BV nermitting deDOSitS to ne as low
as one cent and fixing a maximum of
S., the Provident Association will pro-
vide a system which is sure to be pro-
ductive."

FIXED UP FOR KENDALL.

One vas to require the bank commits
sioner to be a cashier Of at least two
years experience. When it was ap-
parent that this would cut Treasurer
Kendall out of the appointment that
was specially designed for him, it was
further amended so that he must be a
cashier or accountant" Another
amendment raises the amount that can
be lent to one borrower from 20 to 90
per cent of the capital stock, and an
other takes away the fees of the COM
missioner and makes his salary 81 500
per veal and allows 5000 travelling ex-
penseS. Senator Davis read an elab-
crate and highly interesting speech on
banking during the pending Of the
measure. 1t was finally laid IN the
table and ordered printed as amended.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.

WASHINGTON, February "a
cablegram received from United States
Consul Ainsley Hunter. at Guatemala
City, states that Sydney B. Everett,
secretary and charge of the United
States legation there. committed sui
eide yesterday by shooting himself in
the mouth. He had suffered a long
illness, and it is understood that the
act was committed in a temporary
alteration of mind.
Mr.. Everett was appointed from Mas
sachusetts, being a o of a former
chief of the diplomatic bureau of the
State Department.

NOT ENCOURAGING.

1t looks as if there might be a mod
icum of truth IN the accusations nurl-
ed at the President by Senator Petit
grew, who accused Mr.. Mckinley of
classifying and suppressing dispatches
from the Philippines, in the light of
the recent cablegram from Gen. Mac
Arthur, which has just been made pub
lie with other documents demanded by
the Senate of the Secretary OF War.
This dispatch from Gen. Macarthur is
dated as early as last Christmas, and
in it he admits among other things
that: Expectations, based on result
of election, have not been realized.
Progress of pacification apparent to
me, but still very slow. Condition in
flexible, n likely to become chronic"
This is practical admission that there
is little prospect of an ending of the
war. while his request for authority
ito emphasize new policy by deporting
to Guam at early date a few prominent
leaders now in my hands, shows to
what straits and severe measures Gen.
eral Macarthur is reduced. 1t is a
situation that nolds out little hope of
the early pacification of the Filipinos.

The I4aughlin bill has been revived
In new form and now is confessedly
nothing but a measure t take out of
The hands of a Democratic county court
the licensing power and place it in the
hands OF a Republican circuit judge,
wherever the law applies. 1t was de-
feated before largely because it applied
to Ohio county, where the board of
commissioners and council are both
Republican, as we'll a" the circuit judge
and nothing apparent was to be gained
for the grand old party by the change.
Now it is intended to apply it particu-
larly to Randolph and incidentally to
any other county that may apply for it
through two-ffths Of it's voters. The
title of this Measure should be chang
ed to read: "A Bill to Make the Saloon
I'm Adjunct to the Republican Machine
Wherever saI1 Machine is not Already
In Control of It."

Mica Production.

According to report recently pre-.
pared by the geological survey, the total
production of mica in the United States
in 1900 largely exceeded that of any
previous year in amount, although the
value Of the product was considerably
less than that obtained in any of the
years from 1881 to 1885. The total
amount of sheet mica reporled as pro.
duced in 1900 was 436, ,2S3 pounds, valued
at $92.758, as compared with 10S,57O
pounds, valued at $70,577, in 1899. This
large increase in amount, with a COM
paratively slight increase in value. was
due to the increased use of small sized
mica which in previous years has been
considered as waste produce or ground
as scrap mica. The amount of scrap mica
produced in 1900 Sas reported as 5,497
short tons, valued at $52. .502, as compar
ed with 1905 short tons in 1899. valued
at $50,S7S. Bot four states and one
territory produced mica in commercial
quantities last year. New Hampshire
North Carolina. South Dakota, Virginia
and New Mexico.
