BANKS ON THE INCREASE,
Financial Concerns Are Multiplying ThrOug mt the Country and
 Bushes Inere aming.

Some recently published statistics attest the surprising growth of na- tional banks and savings banks in the United States. In 1864 there were fewer than 600 national banking asso- citations and their aggregate capital was considerably less than $1OO, ,Oo0 ,oo0 At the end of 1865 the aggregate re- sources of the national banks, which then numbered 1,513, amounted to less than $1,36o, 100000, says Harper's Weekly.
 Now let us look at the returns made to the comptroller of the currency on October 1, 1902. At that date the na- tional banks numbered 4,601; their total capital stock was over STA ,0oo, 900 and their aggregate circulation $780, 100000. Their aggregate resources amounted to $6,114,0oO,OOO The face value of the United States bonds now held by national banks is about S457,- 100000 and the individual deposits ex- ceed $3,20O,000, ,00O. The amount of money paid into the federal treasury since 1863 by the national banks as taxes on circulation, capital deposits. surplus, etc, reaches $17O,OOO,oO0. We add that the number of shareholders in the national banks is 33O,124, to which total the New England states and middle states, including under the last-named term New York, Pennsyl- vania, NewJersey, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia, contrib uted more than 226,o00 individuals.
 Obviously the national banks are or ganlzed and supported by the relative ly rich. Turning to the savings banks. which are intended for the relatively poor, we observe that the aggregate deposits in these institutions increased in the five years preceding October 1, 1909, from $1, 94o, ,oo0, 900 to S2, GAG, ,ooo GOO. In the same period the number of de- positors rose from :, 200 o0o to 6, 400, 900. This Is an astonishing exhibit when we consider that in many states the 'avings of the poor are invested in the stock of buildings associations. It should also be noted that the federal government through the money or ders issued by it's postal department in 1909 did banking business of up- ward of $313,55o,0 ,00o. =.

 NEW YORK, May 5.-Authorities at Bellevue hospital have patient who thinks he is the discoverer of perpetual motion He is Adolph schapp, sixty years old.
 The janitress of the house where Schapp lived told Miss Hopkins of the Charity Organization society that she had seen machine which the old man had been working on for twenty years and added that she saw it running around the room that the inventor oc- cupied
 Thirty years ago Schapp came here from Austria. After he had been here seventeen years he got the idea that he could make a machine that would Ego on forever"
 After he had worked on 1t for five years schapp's wife left him. The old man then took a room down town and in seclusion hammered and tinkered on the machine that he firmly believes will revolutionize motive power.

ROOSEVELTS TOUR.
Silver States Capital Warm 1y Greets His Excellency.
BREAKFAST WITH THE COWBOYS.
All Colorado Took a Holiday to Greet the President, Who Was the Recipient of Many
 

DENVER, May 5.-This is presi- dents day in Colorado, and at every stopping place on President Roosevelt's itinerary it has been observed in Fourth of July fashion.
 The nations chief executive was the guest of the city of Denver for two and half hours, and the people, re gardless of political affiliations, greeted him with warmth and heartiness of welcome not exceeded on his transcon- tinental tour.
 At the state capital as the president stepped upon the speakers stand Mrs. Helen M. Caspar presented to Presi- dent Roosevelt on behalf of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution silk flag beautifully wrought.
 "I deeply appreciate this priceless gift,'' said the president.
 Then Colonel Charles L. Cooper of the Fifth cavalry, mastering officer of the rough riders, handed the presi- dent photograph of his command taken at San Antonio, Tex. MT. Roose- welt, who was prominent in the pie ture, the only one of, the scene in ex- istence, laughed aloud and exclaimed, "That certainly is all right, colonel"
 A reception was held by the presi- dent in Governor Peabody's office in the capitol. By the presidents side was Mrs. Peabody and the Misses Pea body. The military officers of the state and national army stationed at Fort Logan were introduced. The president was presented with a handsome gold pin by John Kukendall in the name of the cowboys of America. .E
 At the train Governor Peabody on be- half of the Colorado board of worlds fair commissioners presented to the president a souvenir medal made of solid gold taken from the HI Paso mine at Cripple Creek and accompanied by beautifully engrossed certificate.
 At Hugo President Roosevelt was treated to cowboys breakfast It was partaken of standing, and then the president shook hands with his hosts. The train pulled out amid chorus of cowboy yells.

HOTELS STARTED WRONG.
Buildings Are Much Like Human Beings, Says a Philosophical
 New York Policeman.

The philanthropic policeman tipped back the brim of his helmet, pulled down his cuff and pointed to brick building painted white that stood on the opposite corner, says the New York Sun.
 T don't think Pm fatalist, if that's what you call it" he said, "but I've had opportunities in my business to see that some people get started wrong and never have a fair chance.
 Its the same thing with buildings. They get bad name in the beginning, Sand that seems to settle them.
 That house on the corner was put up as hotel nearly 30 years ago. It was intended to be all right, but the owner happened to lease it to the wrong kind of man, and within six imonths after it was opened the police were in the place. Practically they've never been out of it since that time.
 The building has been sold several times and some of the owners have tried to make it different. But in one way or another it always seemed to drift back to it's old character. If it hadn't been for that wrong start in the first place the old hotel might have been all right.
 Almost the same fate overlook an- other hotel that used to be on my beat uptown. Nobody ever knew why it was failure. It stood on site that gave light on four sides, occupying all of small block. It ought to have been crowded all the time but it was nearly always empty, and one landlord after another came to grief there.
 After it was such failure as re- spectable hotel there was naturally an attempt to carry it along on the other plan. That prospered for awhile, but there could not have been much money even in that.
 Landlords came and went. Half the time the house was closed altogether, and in spite of all its attractions the building was hoodoo. It will proba- ply remain one until it is pulled down altogether.
 Now it is closed, half it's windows have been broken by the boys in the streets, and it is ripe for the wreck ers to tear it down and make way for Some more fortunate structure. One Shing must have compensated the own- CTS for their disappointments. The site has increased enormously in value since it was bought 20 years ago, and an spite of all it's vicissitudes the ho- tel may ultimately bring fortune to the men who built It."

Italian Excavators Cause Many Out~
 breaks and Trouble Police.
 NEW YORK, May 5.-Trouble has been caused all over the city by the Italians who belong to the recently or ganized Rockmen and Excavators' un- ion. This is the union which has prac- tically held up work on the subway and on many excavations for buildings The strikers are in a turbulent mood and in their effort to extend their strikes have caused riots, some of them rather serious, from Brownsville to the Bronx.
 In Manhattan and the Bronx boroughs the police were on a sharp lookout for trouble, and they kept on the move strikers who approached the subway. Twice at least crowds of strikers of considerable size gathered at subway points on Forty-second and Sixty fifth streets, and it became necessary for the police to use clubs to disperse the strik- CTS. .-..
 The worst strike troubles of the day have occurred in Brooklyn, however The reserves of the Brownsville station were called out to cope with mob of some 800 Italian strikers who tried to intimidate laborers at the very door of the station house. The police chased the strikers for blocks, pounding them with their clubs in return for a shower of stones. Many arrests were made, and there were plenty of hurts to dress

Details of the Dynamite Outrage and
 RiOtinR.

OGE1RAM OT TMG DymAmHGG OWTE&GG G GM&k RiOting.
 ROME, May 5.-Except as to the number killed, which is now said not to exceed a hundred, the latest advices from Salonika fully confirm the previ- ous reports of the serious nature of the outbreak there Advantage seems to have been taken of the fact that the Turks had relaxed their precautions and that the garrison was seriously depleted, amounting to ofly 400 soldiers. The first mine that was exploded cut the principal gas main and plunged the city into dark ness. Then the Ottoman bank and oth- er buildings were attacked with bombs, as already has been described. Soldiers were hurried up to the scenes of dis orders. They fired wild volleys, but many of the attackers were killed or wounded by the explosion of their own bombs
 All attempts at throwing bombs are now being dealt with summarily. A man disguised as Turkish priest tried to throw bomb into the telegraph of flee at Salonika. He was apprehended and executed on the spot The author1- ties continue to make arrests, and many Bulgarians disguised as Turkish officers are being seized. Among those arrested are professors in Bulgarian school who are alleged to have been the head of the revolutionary movement.
 Edib Pasha, who has arrived at Salo- nika to carry out the decree of martial law, has issued a proclamation stating that the sultan has ordered him to deal severely with all persons guilty of out rages. .-,.. ..
 At Uskub the police have seized stores of dynamite in the houses of Bulgarian residents.
 The news that Germany has ordered war ship to Salonika has led the Aus trian newspapers to discuss the proba- bility of European intervention. In both Berlin and Vienna, however, semi official statements have been issued explaining that the object of, the ships of war is solely the protection of for eign subjects and that the vessels will be withdrawn as soon as the danger is over.
 The arrival of an Italian squadron of six vessels has contributed to the re-es- tablishment of confidence among the foreigners. Further disturbances are not expected. The Italian commander has given instructions for the effective protection of his countrymen in case of need. He will act in accord with the other powers.

What are Factory Remnants?

Short ends accumulate at mills there are no looms which will always weave a perfect piece of cloth. If an imperfection occurs that piece is cut off and put aside. These are called Fac tory Remnants" To-day manufactur- CTS make most of their goods on con- tract, and in many cases the full pieces must contain an exact number of yards In order to weave the desired length without fmperfections they supply the loom with more yarns than 1t would really take, and if the finished piece contains more yards than is desired, the SURPLUS is cut off. and goes to the Remnant pile.
 This will be the greatest selling event that has ever occurred in this city. Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of merchandise will be sold at

We can do 1t because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for a good while-bs s- cause we have studied it. and thought about 1t, and worked hard as any painter ever did. It requires as much hard work, and practice. and talent. to make a good laundry as to make a good nicfure. Everybody can't paint a plc- fure-everybody can't wash clothes per- fectly.
