MOLINE MENTION

This morning the public school
savings bank system being promoted
by Supt. Smith of the public schools
had its first trial and everything
points to its future success. The first
thing the teachers did this morn
ing was to take the small deposits
made by their pupils and give them
credit for fhe amount deposited. BY
this means it is hoped to inculcate
a more general spirit Of saving to de
velop habits of thrift and to discour-
age the wasteful expenditure of mon
ey. through this manner it will also.
give children some idea of the ordin-
airy business principles and banking
methods. Each pupil can deposit any
amount ranging from l cent up. This
money is given to the teacher and she
gives the pupil credit by giving an
equivalent number of penny stamps,
which the pupil will paste in his stamp
folder and retain as receipt for the
money paid in. When the child has
so stamps in his folder, he is entitled
to a regular pass book. furnished free
of charge by the bank, and then he
becomes regular depositor.

Fire in the babbitt metal room of
the Barnard & Leas Manufacturing
company Wednesday evening about
$3.50 threatened serious damage TO the
plant. which was averted largely
through efficient service of the fire
laddies of the Central station. The
building in which the fire originated
is a frame structure, and it is thought
that a spark from a passing engine
might have been responsible for the
flame. The blaze was first noticed
near the floor while some of the men
were at work wheeling out castings.
The sides of the building were badly
scOrched, but this constitutes the prin-
cipal damage. The services of the fire.
men were appreciated by the company
to such an extent that a check for $25
was sent to Chief Hawk yesterday
with the request that the amount be
applied to the fireman's relief fund.

nouncement to Pieces
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, June 23.-After a care
full reading of the Republican platform
adopted at Chicago former Senator
Charles A. Towne analyzed it tonight.
The platform of the Chicago con-
vention is an excellent sample of Re
publican platform building. 1t is adroit,
rhetorical, disingenuous, specious. re-
prospective, platitudinous, vainglorious,
pseudo patriotic, ambiguous and adaDt-
able. 1t takes credit for the arid land
policy, Which was never party ques-
ton and in which Democrats were at
least as prominent as Republicans. 1t
attempts to Republicanize the inter-
oceanic canal, which has been a ma
uonal purpose for three generations
and in advocacy of which Democrats
nave been more prominent than Re-
publicans. 1t appeals to an American
popular sentiment in reference to the
Monroe doctrine, but fails to point ont
how the Republican party's policy in
the Orient and Roosevelt's big stock
programme in the South have imperi1ed
that doctrine and deprived it of much
OF its sanction in the opinion Of the
world.

NEW YORK, June 23. - Luxurious
surroundings, the highest place in the
student role Of his classes and the
prospect of million dollars inheritance
apparently have little fascination for
Arthur Ogden, the sixteen-year-old
nephew of Samuel B. Ogden, 1856 Nc
Donough street, Brooklyn, who deserted
the schoolship st. Mary's two weeks
ago at New London to join Sauteele's
circus.
No word of his whereabouts has been
received up to late tonight His uncle
and guardian, who is in Boston seeking
Tor him, has learned that the boy left
the circus Wednesday at Quincy. At
this point the trail ends.
Mrs. Ogden, the boys aunt, is great
ly worried over his disappearance, and
expresses fear that some accident has
befallen him. She says that Arthur al
ways has been obedient.
His parents died several years ago
and We gave him a place i'm our own
family. Mr.. Ogden being made his
guardian" said Mrs. Ogden. 1--WE inn
mediately put him in school, providing
him with every manner of home luxury
and giving him every opportunity to
make good start in life. We kept
from him the fact that when of age he
was TO come into large sum Of money.
but this he found out from outside
sources.
Il think his disappearance but the
inspiration of a moment, when the
glare of the circus footlights fascinated
him."
Acquaintances Of the boy declare that
he often has wished to go upon the
stage or enter a sawdust ring. At
church and school entertainments he
took prominent part. Some time ago
he remarked to Harry Carr, of 511
Herkimer street, a chum at the Conn
mercial high school, Bedford avenue
and Jefferson street, that he would
rather appear on the stage than pos
sess lots of money"
