with Headquarters in this city. obtained
bank charter to-day under the in
eorporated name OF the St Luke Penny
Savings Bank. The institution win be
located In the new building just COM
pleted at st. James and Baker streets.
and dedicated last week.
The Order of St Luke, composed of
negro men and women, has a very large
membership, extending from Richmond
to Boston and westward into Ohio. Its
growth financially and numerically
within the past four years has been
phenomenal Perhaps the most re-
markable thing about the organization
Is that its leading spirit is woman. n
graduate OF the colored high and nor
NAL school and a former teacher i'm the
Richmond public schools, Maggie T..
Walker, who has the highest respect
and esteem OF both white and colored.
The bank, whick will be located IN
the new st. Luke building, st. James
and Baker streets, will be opened ON
Labor Day. AS the various councils
in this CITY have over $4,000 on de
post in the different city banks, it is
thought that the deposits on opening
day will aggregate fully $4,000.
This is doubtless the first instance OF
a negro woman enjoying the title OF n
bank president.
With the advent OF the St Luke
bank there viii be four negro banks in
this Richmond News-Leader.

bers of the AngloAmerican joint high
commission to do all that lies in their
respective powers to secure trade
treaty between Canada and the United

SIGN OF THE a.
Mark Of Avenger in Chicago's
Latest Murder.
Great Mystery Surrounds Death Of the
Jackson Park Victim.
Italians Fail to Identity countryman--
Malta Suspected.

Chicago Jan. 15.-The sign of the
a" whatever it may mean, may lead
to the arrest of the men who caused
the death of the man whose body was
found in Jackson Park, Tuesday night.
Scratched in the snow near where the
body of the supposed Italian was found
was a letter "a" followed by a dash
and the police believe it may be the
avenging mark of some society whose
agents laid in wait for the unknown,
bent on his death.
The i3 knife wounds on the body
We're inflicted by at least two different
weapons .stilleto and q long knife.
The police have thus far been unable
to identify the body. Scores of Ital-
fans have been taken to the morgue in
the hope that some one might admit
knowing the dead man. but all pro-
fessed ignorance of his identity
The oath Of the Malta forbids mem
bers to- seek redress ino courts or to
give evidence before them, and in
other cases with which the police have
dealt this law of the Malta has been
difficult to overcome.
