There is no regular Chinese banking
house in New York, though there are
many Chinese with large bank ac-
counts. Most Of the business goes to
the savings banks in the Bowery. The
Chinese who get rich in this country
seldom invest in real estate. and the
stock market is entirely too involved
and uncertain to claim any of their
profits. They keep most of their wealth
in cash and are content with the inter,
est which the banks pay. The poorer
Chinese deposit their savings with the

interest. They are glad to have their
money in a safe place and promptly

BUSINESS SECTION OF WATER
BURY, CONN.,, IN RUINS.
INCENDIARIES SUSPECTED
Estimated That Loss Will Reach at
Least Three Million
Dollars.

Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 3.-The sun
rose this morning on a blackened and
ed the main business section of the
city.
There is a very strong suspicion
that the fire which completely Destroy
ed the Scovill house, burning thou
sands of dollars worth of furniture,
appointments and personal effects and
imperilling many lives was the work
Of an incedniary.
The fire originated in the pool and
Billiard room in the basement of the
house on the further side from the
burned district. The was locked
and no one was supposed to be there.
No fire was kept in the room, all heat
being supplied from a boiler in an
ether part of the building.
Manager Truman said at the police
station, while the fire was still raging,
that he had mot the slightest doubt
it was of i%ncendiary origin" No one
could be found to explain it's cause
and the authorities have been quietly
Investigating.
The fire came so close on the heels
of the big conflagration that the thou
sands of spectators who witnessed it
were thrown into a more complete
panic than the original fire caused.
The flames had only begun to die out
along Bank, Grand and South Main
streets at 4 o'clock, when fresh flames
leaped upward, as if by magic, and
people feared the city was doomed
after all. The call was rung in prompt
ly and the engines that hurried to the
scene turned their attention mainly
to preventing the spread Of the flames.
1t was evident that the hotel was
doomed, and if the fire had reached
: the adjacent buildings there would
have been very little hope of saving
the the center of the city. The fire
burned far into the day, and was not
extinguished entirely until evening.
The scene about the city today was
only little less remarkable than that
of the previous evening. Thousands
of people stumbled around the icy
streets and with the greatest diff
iculty were restrained by the militia
and police from v%enturing within the
danger lines. A tangled net work of
wires on Bank and South Main streets
greatly hindered the work of extin-
gushing the last flames and clearing
away the wreckage.
The Connecticut Railway & Light
ing company had men on the streets
all day removing, repairing and replac'
ing the wires. The city's telephone
communication, lighting facilities and
electric power were restored before
nightfall.
A revised list Of losses and insur
ance is very difficult to obtain at thi:
time. Few know just what was the
loss on their buildings and stock. I,
is believed that when the truth is
known SO, DOC, 900 will not be far from
the correct estimate.
The remarkable feature of the fire
was undoubtedly the absence so ia,
as known, of loss of life. Two me1
asleep in the Scovill house . C
I. Kent of the Holmes, Booth & Hay
dens company and a member of tn,
board of education. and the SecOnt
cook, a German, were reported miss
ing. but both have been located.

SUPERSTITION TAKEN FOR FACT.

A very interesting article is cuiled
from the Springfield Mass Republican
which il printed below. 1t shows con
clusively how easily is traditional fable
believed AZ actual fact. The article is
~ follows Bishop Henry &. Potter of
New York makes some noteworthy OBJ
servations on the changed estimate of
the holy scriptures, in IN introduction
to The Bible for Children, just issued
by the Century company. Recognizing
the fact that we are beginning to under
stand what the Bible IL and what it IL
not, he says that two things are brought
to light, that it il not only the story Of
divine disclosure divine rs revealing
alike the mind of God and the wonder
ful order Of his providence, but also q
human document, in that ii is the story,
and sometimes the illustration, of the
ion of man Ii follows, of course, that
criticism of the Bible in the light Of his
tory and sicence is entirely legitimate.
Superstition alone can cling to the in
fallibility of the book which Protestan-
| tism substituted for the infallibility of
the church. Neither estimate can now
be held, in the use of reason, enlighten-
Oh by the labors of scholars of the text
and its production. and by the both vast
| al Ia ipt long A nd Iiuspvar
les Of scientists in the realms of geology,
physics and those others which have
revolutionized the old ideas Of the his
tory of man.
The bishop regards the child's Bible
a. an admirable work "a worthy and
timely thing to do. He recalls the
ancient practice of reading through the
Bible by course, "a practice Of singular
ly deleterious effect on many minds, r.
with sincere disapproyal belonging to
the same class ~ the tradition that
soldiers lives have been saved by Il New
Testament carried in II leftbreast pocket
| because IL was Testament, whereas
any other volume carried in the same
place would have stopped bullet M
effectively. In fact there were n
number Of instances in the civil war
when pack of cards served the same
purpose, Yet every now and then one
notes the same superstition ~ to the gu
perior value Of the sacred book az "A
pocket piece. This is of the same order
as the supposed punishment Of Sabbath
breaking by the drowning of boys who
went in swimming on Sunday, or the
fatal discharge of hunters gun into
his own head or body while hunting on
that day. 1t is very odd that such con
