noon dapper, well-dres7ed man with gray
hair and bright blue eyes put up at ths
summer hotel, and divesting himself Of
tall collar and frock coat, put on knicker-
lockers and went ont INTO the village
square andS began TO play baseball with
the young men and boys who we're enjoy
ing vacations along the shore.
He was d good player. No other man in
the county could hit a low hall so often IA
he and the way he stole bases was a liberal
education to those who were learning the
game.
he could pitch fairly well, but his chief
pride was taken in defending first base,
which he did with such skill that whole
innings passed without Il single man reach
ing the first goal on the road To scoring.
He played forenoon and afternoon and until
dark in the evening, and though he waS
often sorely vexed by the blunners OF his
associates, il was noticed that he never

When Saturday night came the boys
proposed Sunday game in a back lot
away from the public streets and asked
the new player to help them out.

cheerfully, "but l have little game Of

WANT To OWy TENEMENTs.
of Certain Fast Side Families
Observed by q Bark President.

Il wonder how many people know what
the poor of the Fast Side do with the money
that they save" remarked the president
OF big savings bank on the Bowery the
other day Il have been in this bank for
forty wears and have had good opportunity
to study our depcstors, and | have made
the discovery that the ambition of the
average Fast Side family is to own tene-
ment house.
As rule, they want TO own the tenement
they live in. and all Of their energies are
bent to making and saving money for this
goal surprising number of them sue
coed ultimately in getting what they want
Il know Of over twenty families that now
own tenements, having acquired them by
saving their paltry earnings for years.
denying themselves every luxury and many
OF the comforts of life. in order to get
enough together to buy an equity in tene-
ment. Many of these families have been
well rewarded for their years of ef-denial,
being now the owners Of finepaying prop
critics, but they go right on working and
saving their money
The method Of one family will tell you
about illustrates pretty well the method Of
all OF them.
There are seven in the family. Tho
father is an elevated railroad guard, three
sons work at different occupations for small
salaries, two girls work in factories and the
mother runs the home,
Ten years ago that family started seven
accounts here, and three years ago their
savings aggregated over 5000. They took
the money out all at once and learned
from the father that they had bought an
equity in the tenement house in which they
had lived for years.
Then they began collecting the rents
and depositing them with us. Whenever
they get little short they borrow from us
and we have never had any trouble with
them.
by this time guess they have paid the
mortgage and own the property, but they
go right on working and saving. The
money with which they bought that tene-
ment must have represented years of the
hardest kind Of scraping and self-denial,
vet they never seemed the least bit dis
contented.
"The only investment they understand
is tenement house property, but they I'M
derstand that thoroughly. II would sur
prise some folks to know how many Of these
East Side families. who appear to be pow
erty stricken. are in reality property

the name and work of Mrs. Washing
ton Roebling who died last month in
New Jersey. Her husband succeeded
his father, John A. Roebling, as en-
gineer OF the Brooklyn Bridge, on the
later's sudden death in 1869, and was

sinking the foundations of the bridge,
and in 1872 he became an Invalid.
From his room on Brooklyn Heights
he directed by the aid of field glasses
the construction of the bridge, and
Mrs. Roebling, who had made herself
acquainted with the details of the
great work, managed the work. Her
task was accomplished with ex-
traordinary, success, and she was the
first woman to cross the bridge on its
completion. May q, 1888. She had
been on the bridge in nearly every
stage of its building. Mrs. Roebling
was the daughter of General Sylvanus
Warren, and sister of General G. X.
Warren, commander of the Fifth army
corps in the civil war. Since her
engineering work she had been promin-
ent in women's clubs, Sorosis, the
New York State Federation and
Daughters of the American Revolu-
