so many years ago-for this transformation
has occurred in my lfetme-it is a hard
matter for me to realize that it is the same
place.
In those days the city limits were not
near what they are now, for there used 10
be little store al the northeast corner of
Capitol avenue and New York street This
was called the little red store and was
situated in the country. There was a large
patch of woods between ii and the city,
and when the farmers had been TO town
buying supplies and had forgot anything,
they always knew they could get it at the
red store.
THE city was at that time practically all
on Washington street east of where the
Statehouse now stands. II was in the
square between Capitol avenue and Illinois
street. in the cabinet shop of Caleb Scudder.
that the first SundaySchool in the city was
established This was done, l believe, by
the Presbyterians.
1.-The first crime of any consequence COM
mitted in this city, so far as ] remember,
was a murder by the man who ran the
ferryboat across White river. His name
Mike Van Blaricum, and he was known
as bad man., but no one thought he was
desperate enough TO commit murder.
THREW VICTIM INTO RIVER.
zone day, however, he and a man whose
name L have forgotten were going across
the river, and when he got to the center he
grabbed his companion by the throat and
choking him, threw him overheard. AT that
TIME the Olu CONeTtu DTluSe Was DelnS
erected, and this was all done in full view
of the workmen, but they were powerless.
"As soon as Van Blaricun had thrown the
man over he apparently attempted to res
cue him to make it appear that his victim
had fallen into the river. 1 remember that
this murder created a great amount of ex-
element among the few inhabitants of the
settlement, for they were mostly all peace
able people and were Mortified at such pro-
ceedings
Il will say that there was never more
orderly settlement than this one was. There
was very little fighting among the settlers
and what there was occurred only among
the lower classes. In those days fighting
was more common among the better class
of people than at the present time for there
was an element of recklessness about all
of the men who lived on the frontier.
IF the hunters of to-day had the game
to revel in that we had then" said Mr.. Nc
Cormick in concluding his converse ton.
they would certainly have a feast. Where
the old Michigan road is il was a common
thing to see great numbers of deer cross
ing White river. Wolves, co0ns and all
other kinds of big game were also plentiful
then and a man only had TO go TO his back
door TO get any kind of game he wanted"

as were needed to publish the Bulletin, the
Official publication of the organization.
This paper of the bank clerks does not
accept any advertisements and is sent to
the members at a reduced rate These
reasons prevent II from being self-sustaln-
ing and make an annual appropriation
necessary.
The advantageous feature Of the publica-
ton IS the fact that through its columns
is conducted a correspondence school which
takes up all branches of work that are
carried on in banks. one of the officers of
the local chapter, in explaining its work
Tho whole thing is for the purpose of
furthering the education of the bank clerk
The aim being to prevent him from becom-
ing mere machine specialist by interest
ms him in the science of banking ana
finance.
THAT the aim has been attained at least
in part. Is evidenced by the fact that sew
eral chapters have mad to elect new officers
repeatedly. the older ones being called TO
fill official positions in banks. The Mime
apolis chapter has had four presidents In
less than two years. Bankers are out
spoken in their praise of the efficient work
done by the institute"
j. @. Cannon, vice president of tie
Fourth National Bank of New York, was
the prime mover in the organization of the
institute and has since been closely idenu-
fed with the work, although no official OF
bank can become an active member. Inc
only way in which official can be asso-
ciated with the clerks in the association is
by being elected an honorary member.
There are no national headquarters for
the institute and there are no officers ex-
cept those at the head of the individual
chapters in the various cities. Each organ
ization plans it's own work and is indie
pendent of any other.
The reason given for this is that in the
various cities the work materially differs
and what will do for one place will not an
Swer for another
The only thing that tends toward a
national organization is that once Il year
a convention is held. This year the con-
vention will be at ST. Louis on Aug. %, 20
and 81 The last day, which is Saturday,
has been set aside by the exposition man
ayers and will be known Bank Clerks
day. 1t is expected that quite a large
crowd will attend the convention this year.
AT the present time there are thirtyfve
chapters in the United States and the pros
pect is that there will be a number of 9TH
organized before the convention.
The first annual gathering was held at
Cleveland last year. Before this there was
no connection of the various orders, but
it was found that more advantage could be

who have addressed the organization at
their different meetings.
The programme carried out during the
past season was TO have at intervals promi-
nent men address the chapter on subjects
Pertalnlng to science and finance. Then
at other times the members of the organ
lzation were called upon to prepare papers
on their departments in the banks, and
these We're discussed by the other mem
Ders. In this way they were given an
understanding in the other branches of
the work besides those with which they
were already familiar.
LIST OF SPEAKERS.
The welcoming address to the local chap
ter was delivered by the Hon. A. c. Har-
ris. Those who followed were Captain
Thomas Halls, of the United States secret
service; Charles w. Moores, Harold Tay-
Tor, Charles F.. Coffin, F. NJ. Ingler, George
Calvert. manager of the clearing house,
and Louis Eubank.
For these addresses lawyers are nearly
always chosen, and they discuss the num-
erous phases of financial laws before the
clerks. The organization wishes TO express
its sincere thanks to those VINO have been
kind enough TO address it, and also to the
Commercial Club for the use of room.
The social features are purely a sec
ondary part of the work, but at intervals
smokers and such affairs are held.
On The night of Feb. II Charles u. Coffin,
of INC Indiana National Bank Louis Ell
vim, of the Columbia National, and b. G.
Downey, of the American National, repre-
scented the local chapter in a debate at
Chicago with the chapter of that city
The Chicago chapter issued the chal-
lenge and the judges awarded them two
points of the debate, while those from this
city were given one point The subject
debated was: Resolved. That postal Saw
ings banks should be established by the
United States government" The debate
attracted great attention among bank
clerks all over the country.
The officers of the local chapter elected
at the first meeting. which held Oct l
of last year, are: President. b. c. Downey;
vice president, w. h. Balch; secretary, G..
NJ Kuhns, and treasurer, Joseph s. Nc

I1<Tl,yi few months bids fair to be a sue
- cess in every particular and the
officers feel very much fattered at the in
terest taken by the members in last win
ters work. The American Institute of
Bank Clerks is not an organization de-
voted to social purposes. It's object is of
more serious nature for il is practically
school TO educate bank clerks in the va
rious departments of banking institutions
and to also give them a thorough under
standing OF financial questions of all kinds.
The chapter in this city was originated
last October by delegate who was return
ing from the annual convention of all of
the chapters, which was held in Cleveland
o. Prior to this the local bank clerks had
no organization and had thought little of
forming one.
This delegate, through an official in one
of the banks of the city, called a meeting
and spoke so enthusiastically of the order
that a chapter was at once started. and
in less than month was in full running
order with quite a large membership.
At the present time there are about forty
members in the indianapolis chapter, and
as the season is so near at an end there
will be little effort to increase this number
Until next year, but from the present out
look it is thought the membership will in
crease to 100 or more. The outline of the
work for next season has not been COM
pleted but it is said it will be of such a
nature to be greatly advantageous to
the clerks and will follow the same educa-
tional lines as the course this year.
UNIQUE FEATURES.
The unique feature of this organization
of the bank clerks is that it was originated
by the American Bankers Association our
ing it's annual convention at Richmond,
Va, in 1900. 1t is probably the only or
ganzatiop that enjoys the distinction of
having been originated by employers for
employees.
The American Bankers Association is yet
active in the support of the institute and
it has appropriated annually such funds
