The increase in the number of
women engaged in the banking
business is very noticeable, espec-
tally in the middle West, and, so
far as known. not one woman
entrusted with a .'sponsible bank
position has failed or betrayed
the confidence reposed in her. One
of the most successful of these banker
women Is Mrs. Jennie c. Taylor, prin-
cipal owner and manager of the Bank
of Melvin, Indian Territory. 1t is
said that Mrs. Taylor, who, by the
way, is a Cherokee Indian, holding
some stock In the bank and not salts
fled with the management, quietly
bought up majority of the stock and
then took affairs in her own hands
How well she has succeeded Is proved
by the standing of the institution, not
only in the vicinity, but in the
territory.

Punish m ents That Are Melted Out II
British Sailors.
For infraction of regulations some
curious punishments are melted out in
the English navy. 1t is an everyday
occurrence, says London TitBits, to
see half dozen sailors lined up on
deck facing tie paint work, holding
their han,mocks on their shoulders. AT
first the hammock isn't heavy, but aft
er an hour or so it drags on ones Shout
ders like lead. Besides, it is not at all
entertaining to stare f1xedly at square
foot Of painted woodwork for an hour
or more at a time.
Another punishment that Jack de-
spises is bailinS with a spoon. He is
placed upon the deck, with two large
wooden buckets, one filled with water
and the other empty. With a spoon he
must dip all the water from one buck
ct and transfer it to the other, being
jests and jeers.
Sometimes delinquent is made to
walk slowly backward and forward
along the deck, nursing in his arms a
six inch projectile. weighing a little
over 100 pounds. Once a sailor. who
laughed at the stamm ering speech of
his commander, was made to stand up
on the forebridge, In full view of the
ships crew, and laugh for an hour and
a half.
Splitting upon the deck of a man-of-
war is strictly prohibited. Cuspidors
are placed at intervals along the deck,
and these must be used. Upon some
ships, when a sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck, small tub is strapped
to his chest land he is made to wear it
Any one who chooses may use this
walking receptacle. The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his offense.

ULE-PLAYERS OUTSIDE OF

At a meeting OF the managers Of
the City League baseball teams at the
Palladium office last night the trou-
bles in the league were all adjusted
and the league is now on firmer ba-
sis than it has been at any time since
its organization. New rules were
adopted governing the league, the
game last Saturday between the Pan
Handles and the Palladiums was for
febeed by the Palladium manager, and
all the games which have been played

the clubs are as follows:

The rules adopted go in effect at
once and are as follows:
/. Each team must furnish the

three days before any game on send
ing written notice to the president,
who will inform other managers of
such change. In no case will claims

release is secured. In such case a
player so released cannot again be
claimed by team releasing him during
present season.
g. No club will be permitted to
have on it's claim list any player who
has made baseball playing a business,
who has played on any regular salar-
led team or who has ever made liv-
ing at playing the gamN
A. No club will be permitted to play
men who are not bonafide residents
of the city of Richmond.
5. No regularly scheduled game
can be postponed without the consent
of the opposing team, and in case any
team fails to appear for regularly
scheduled game such game shall be
forfeited to the team which is on
hand.
6. All games must be umpired by
an official employed by the league
and no game so umpired can be pro
tested because of the umpires decis-
ion, unless 1t can be shown that said
umpire had some interest in favoring
one certain club.
Z. All games must be played on
the public play grounds, unless agreed
to otherwise by all managers directly
interested.
s. No club shall directly or indi-
rectly pay its players.
8. The president of the league

10. No manager shall be permitted
to import a player and secure him en-
