Bank Advertising.

Twenty five or thirty years ago there
was done less advertising than now.
Busines firms habitually placed in
newspapers small ads which were sell
dom changed. which seldom conveyed
much information and never contain
ed anything snappy or attractive.
Many firms depended for trade Who'll
ly upon their reputation aud public
knowledge of them. Banking institu
tions we're supposed to be above that
method Of obtaining patronage.
Thirty years have made many changes
in business methods. The "old firm"
whose dim store-slgn was its badge
of respectability and which didn't
need to advertise because everybody
knew it" finds that dimness and slow
ness are not attractive and that in
these hustlinR days the peoples mem
ory is short. Even banking institu-
tions that do business advertise now
and do it we'll. The Altoona Trust
Company, Tor instance, says or Itself,
in part, in one of its ads:
1t is a wise counselor aud
steadfast friend OF every young
person who wishes to rise; to the
wage worker who wishes to make
provision against the "rainy day
to that class which is struggling
to place itself in a position Of in
dependence. 1t aims every hour to
be a medium for contentment and
prosperity. and never fails to rem
der conscientious. faithful and
painstakinR service.
That is good matter for all ad of that
kind. 1t is a wise banking stituti on
that knows it ought to advertise. 1t
is wiser one that does

WANT A FOOT BRIDGE
ACROSS THE RIVER

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 13.-
Nescopeok residents have instituted a
movement which is already we'll under
way toward constructing foot bridge
across the river upon the old piers. A
meeting of a number of the council
and other citizens has been held and
the proposition defined
1t is to raise $500 to $500 by public
subscription In Nescopeck and an
amount in Berwick aud construct a
cable foot way from pier to pier. Up
on the pier that is partly carried away
a firm trestle would be erected The
bridge would be six feet in width and
would cost about $l 800.
The citizens have written to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
asked the loan of cables to be return
ed when the bridge was erected. A
very encouraging answer was received
asking the size and length of the cables
that would be required.
A committee has also met the COun.
ty Commissioners and received en-
couraging answer asking the size and
length OF the cables. They can he
counted upon for a substantial sum.
Another meeting of the citizens OF
Nescopeck will be held in the very
near future when committees will be
appointed to make canvass for sub.
soriptions and make arrangements. 1t
is the purpose to prepare specifications
and have the construction of the bridge
| let out to the lowest bidder.

SQUADRON AIDING
IN THE DEFENSE

ST. PETERSBURG.J July 13.-12 :32
p. m.-The Admiralty believes that
Rear Admiral Withoft's squadron is
rendering effective aid in the defence
Of Port Arthur and by impeding the
construction of batteries near the east
ern approaches of the fortress, by 60
ing out and shelling the japanese
works under construction for this pur-
pose.
The expedition of Saturday is believ-
ed to have been of this nature The
bringing up Of siege guns to an effec-
tive range can thus be materially re-
taIded. This probably is the reason
the squadron has not yet left Port Art
hur and it is not likely to do so until
the fall of the fortress becomes inc Wit
able
The admiralty considers that the
naval situation has greatly improved
and sees evidence of the japanese fleets
showing signs of exhaustion. The
officials here think that Admiral
Togo. with the knowledge that he will
have to fight without the corporation
OF the army in storming Port Arthur,
has become extremely cautious about
risking his ships, and that at present
he will only undertake operations of
secondary Importance, like pursuit
OF the VladivOstok squadron and co
operation with land forces at New
Ohwsng.
A special despatch from Ia Tche-
Kiao says the Japanese lost heavily
while crossing the river at Kai- Chou
According to special telegram from
Liao Yang the Russian scouts have
discovered further Japanese detach.
ments in the valley of the Tai-Tse riv-
er, on the road to Muken. The cor
respondent thinks the Japanese i'm that
vicinity intend to direct the operations
OF the Chinese bandits, who are con
oentrating in the surrounding valley
for the purpose OF raiding the railroad
and blowing up bridges.

Admiral and Mrs, McCalla have leas
ed the building to the Young Men s

Branches. which are now established
at the Brook lyn Navy Yard, at Nor
folk, Va, and at Newport. Temper.
ary quarters have also been recently
established at Pensacola. Fla, and

Mrs. McCalla is soliciting funds for
the completion of payments on this
building and its equipment with great
enthusiasm. and hopes to see its de-
dication, free of debt, to the needs of
the sailor when off duty. The popu
larity which the Association building
has secured with the enlisted men un-
der the Young Mems Christian As

and Mrs McCalla to choose to place
this building in the Association s care
to be one of the links in the chain OF
Association buildings which are being
established at every Navy Yard where
the United States sailor touches in his
cruises about the world.
