Feats in Counting Money.

"In banking circles" says the Phila.
delphia Record, at has been admitted
for some years that the fastest counter
of banknotes and silver coin in this
n~eighborhood was not a Philadelphia,
but a young man of Norristown-Ben-
jamin Hughes, note clerk of the Peo-
pies Bank. Lately, however, two
young men in the Girard National
Bank, in Third street, below Chestnut,
have developed such a speed in the
counting of cash that the Norristown
experts laurels have begun to fade on
his brow. One of the Girard Bank
young men, Il. c. Watt, has the rec
ord of having counted 1000 Bland sill
yer dollars in one and a half minutes.
The other, Shellay Heller, has counted
in ffty-two seconds 100 one dollar
bills. By several seconds these two
feats are said to beat the best work of
Mr.. Hughes. When Mr.. Watt and
Shelley Heller are counting money
during banking hours the movements
Of their hands are so wonderfully
swift and graceful that 1t Is no unus-
ual thing for hurried men of business
to finger fifteen or twenty minutes
Just to watch them"
