Not for Small Accounts.


Banks, banks everywhere, and not
a bank to bank in" was the complaint
the other day of young man who had
spent several hours in Wall street and
lower Broadway, seeking place where
he could put hundred dollars or so
month or two in order to open what he
believed would be a respectable ac-
count in some bank down town, says
the New York Post. He was clerk in
one of the tall business buildings be-
low Cortlandt street, and before he
came to New York from up the state,
six months ago, he had enjoyed the
luxury Of bank account which he
used partly as savings fund and
partly for convenience. whats the
trouble?" asked sympathizing friend.
why, the banks won't take my mon
ey. have been to seven or eight this
morning, trying to deposit 500 in or
der to start an account. But all the
banks tell me the same story. They
are very sorry but they can't accept
any account where the average daily
balance is under $500, while several
fairly took my breath away by saying
they didn't care to bother with any,
thing under $1,000. One bank gave out
the information that personal accounts
were not accepted at all. One cashier
was very polite and ready when told
him through the grating that l had
come to open an account. At once he
invited me back to his private Office.
Whom can you get to identify you
and vouch for you? was his first ques-
ton. l gave him the name of my en-
ployer, who was already large de-
positor there, and he said that would
be a Satisfactory reference. But when
/ told him my first deposit would be
500, you should have seen his face
change, likewise his manner. It's a
rule of ours he said, with a hauteur
almost freezing, to open no account
for less than $500, and we can't break
it. At another place was told by the
banks secretary that II my average
daily balance fell below $500 they
would have to make slight charge,
something like 81 month, to cover
the cost of keeping up the account
clerk hire, etc. This was the last
straw, and again l backed out, saying
l couldn't decide Just then, but would
see,' meaning by that that l would sSe
him very far away before paying his
bank 80 month to keep 500 for me-"
Anent this young mans predicament,
an Evening Post reporter started to
find out where people of very moderate
means do their banking. After few
inquiries in Wall street and lower
Broadway institutions, he was sure it
wasn't there. Most of them had min
imum limit on accounts, though it was
not always a hard and fast one. II a
man we'll introduced and who gave
promise Of soon becoming profitable
customer of the bank-bOth as de-
positor and borrower-applisd to
open a small account in almost any
down town bank, he would be accom-
modated after some preliminaries had
been gone through. But for man
who would neither borrower or
lender be-" and whose account would
not average $500 the year round, the
banks have little use, because they
have all they can attend to of large
account--that is, where there is an
average daily balance of $4,000 or
SIC, 900. -"

The organizers of the fair are meeting
with great success in spite OF the hot

William f. Norton, who was on trial
at the session of the district court, was
acquitted of the charge against him,
and was discharged from custody, and

Arthur Bristow, blind man, gave
very excellent entertainment at the
Methodist church last evening. Mr..
Bristow is musician Of more than or

pieces he plays and carries stock OF
music with him, which he sells to those
who will buy AS lecturer he is witty
and keeps his audience in good humor,
as well as interesting them with the
subject of his remarks. There was not
as large an audience present as the lect-
urer deserved, although quite a large
number OF tickets were sold to parties
who did not attend.
The Jossey troupe, which is ut the
opera house, opened there Monday night
with Cigarette" and played the piece
in II pleasing manner They had fair
sized audience, who appreciated not
only the play but also the specialties
given by the members OF the company.
Last night the Streets OF New York"
was enjoyed by those present. The Jos
sey troupe is one of the most popular
companies on the road, and it is prob
able that the "Count OF Monte Cristo"
will have large crowd to witness it.
There should be a generous patronage
given this troupe, for it is good one,
and are conscientious in their efforts to
please.

Divine Assurance.

Then why should question his way,
Who inaketli this pathway Of mine,
but weak creature of clay,
And he my Creator divine?
Can I, with my finite eye, see
Where infinite wisdom should lead?
Can know what is better for ME,
Or just what il is that need?
Me thinks tho the twilight is gray,
And my vision with weeping is dim,
He will lift up my soul by the way,
shall walk thro' the shadows with
him.
I know not the task he will send,
Nor wither he leadetll my feet,
But know he is always my friend,
And this makes assurance complete.

Death Is always sad, it matters no

to part with those we love and whether
1t be the young or the old or tho mid

ever, peculiar sadness in tho death OF
tho young with the promise of many
happy days before them, for we know
tho old must die.
Only six short months ago Mr.. VIM.
G. Mayes led Miss Mamie Wright to the
altar as his bride and they began the
journey of life together, happy and
bouyant with the hope of many, many
happy days together rs they journeyca
along lifc's pathway. Today he is bow
ed down with grief and follows her life
less form to the grave, for her spirit
has taken it's flight to join the hosts
who have gone before. 1t is peculiar
ly sad and the great sympathetic heart
OF the entire community goes ont to
him in his hour Of trouble and sorrow.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock after
days or intense suffering she died.

sympathy, realizing at the Same time
