The Cuban Y Giants defeated vii
mington yesterday at Front and Union

game which was mixed. but exciting.
Several incidents helped make the con-
test interesting among which was the
home run of Mcclellan over right field
fence and the sensational one hand catch
OF Jackson, in left, Of a long fly after a
hard run.
Walker pitched q good game and bat
ted we'll Hartley was not able 10 CON
meet with the ball yesterday and Nc
Clellan seemed TO know just where Ia
put them so that he would not hit them.
The local men did some poor base run
ming, but this was eXcusable because
their coaching was very poor.

BANKING SYSTEM
Latest Move in Contemplation
by the Steel Trust.

Chicago, July 9.--It is reported here
that the Steel Trust contemplates the es-
tablishment of a vast banking system In
connection with its mills all over the
United States. In well-informed finan-
cial circles the application just made by
Illinois Steel company officers for state
charter for a bank is looked upon as the
first positive step in the organization Of
such sa wings fund system.
The new savings bank will have a
capital of 100000 and be located in South
Chicago, convenient to the works OF the
Illinois Steel company. which dispenses
about $5,00O,000 a year In wages.
The new bank is not TO be cooper
ative concern, but merely bank OF de-
posit for employees of the Illinois Steel
company and such others as may desire
to avail themselves OF IL.
Behind the avowed purpose 20 "stim-
ulate a thrifty spirit among employees and
to further cement a friendly relationship
between them and the company" II Is
believed that the Steel Trust managers
see In this savings bank system means
OF gathering UP for their own advantage
the moneys paid out In wares.

Few IrredeemabIe Stamps Found
in The Local Banks.

The act which repealed the war reve-

were subject to refund The bankers
generally consider that no cashier with
his eyes open would have permitted
stamps that were not redeemable to re-
main on hand. IL. however there were
aNy such condition among the banks. the
opinion is expressed that IL would be an
easy matter to induce Congress 20 pass a
special act permitting them TO redeem.
At the revenue office on South Main
street Il was stated today that local
banks had been buying very close on
these stamps for a year. and as the time
approached for their discontlnuance they
were bought In extremely small duanti-
ties. 1T r. not believed. therefore. that
any Providence banks have any on hand
that are not redecmable None such has
been reported Co the revenue office.

BURIED ALIVE
Child Struck by Lightning VIII
Recover From Injuries.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. July e.-Russians at
Glen Lyon. a mining settlement near here,
believe they saved the life of a child
struck by lightning last evening by bury
ing 1t in a grave and covering it with
two feet of earth.
The child, though badly burned, is alive
and may recover. The child was the
four-year-old son of Joseph Hudock.
Lightning tore down the chimney and
burned a line an inch or more wide on
the boy from his right shoulder around
the body, down the left leg and across
the right foot.
To all appearances the boy was dead,
but the parents snatched him from the
crib and ran outdoors. shrieking for help.
A number OF men hastily scooped out a
grave and In the driving rain the little
>one was put naked under two feet OF
soil with his head uncovered There he
remained for half an hour until Dr. +.
NJ. Davis arrived and ordered him taken
10 the hospital.
When taken from the grave the child
was.conscious and showed no Ill effects OF
the accident except the burns.
This custom Of burying as n cure from
lightning comes from Russia, and Its ad-
vocates say the earth absorbs all the cleo
tricity from the body
