the government savings institution
went into operation January 1, 1884.
Hungary and HAWAII both establish
ed postal savings banks in 1886, and
Russia's postal savings banks, to ope-
rate in connection with the savings
banks department of the Imperial
Bank were established in 1889. In
Japan, the postal savings bank system
has been in operation since January 1,
1895.
In all Of these countries, according
to statistics, the postal savings bank
has proved immensely popular, and,
while the systems vary in some partic-
| ulars in the different nations, they are
for the most part modelled after and
planned by Great Britain.
In the Britain colonies, whittier the
system naturally spreads in emulation
of the mother country's action, the
postal banks are reported to have
proved highly successful and the tabu-
lations show steady growth in the
number of depositors and the amount
of savings from the time of organiza-
ton to the present date. Beginning
with Victoria, the first colony to add
savings banks to the postal system in
1865 and Canada, which followed in
1868, New South Wales, New Zealand,
| Western Australia, Tasmania, Queens
land, Cape Of Good Hope, Straits Set
Element, Ceylon, the Falkland Islands,
the Bahamas and British Guiana all
| established postOffice banks.
India adopted the system in 1882
and now has close to million de-
positors and $42,OOOOoO deposits. The
| statistics for India show the number
| of depositors almost trebled and the
amount of deposits quadrupled in the
| last ten years.
The tremendous growth and success
of the postal savings bank in England
may be appreciated from the statis-
| tics which show that during it's first
year of operation there were 17S, 495
depositors and approximately $40, $780,
900 was deposited, while the latest
available tabulation gives S,777 ,23d de-
positors and 1862, 77S,18O in deposits.
Under the British system the empire
is the bank and every postoff1ce
branch, with all postmasters agents.
Through them the people may deposit
money, invest in government securi-
ties, insure their lives or buy annuities

open from 9 in the morning until in

sunday when President Palma called
General Cebreco, one of the proposed
peace commissioners, to the palace
and informed him that the government
has no concessions to offer or accept

PLEASURES OF BEING A NEGRO
"A negro's life never lacks the interest
which flows from variety of incident.
He may have a desire to serve the
country in uniform. The kind young
"Anglo-Saxons" at West Point or An
napolis will keep him fully entertained.
He may have talents for the law or for
medicine. Gaining a professional de-
gree has for him all the excitement Of
the strenuous life, and when it is gain
ed he can serve only his race. which
has little money to pay him.
Most negroes in the north settle down
to the occupations of walters, Pullman
porters, carpet cleaners and the like,
No matter how thrifty, intelligent and
orderly they may be, they must live in
tenements where they pay higher than
average rentals, often for the privilege
of being herded with the worst speci-
mems of their kind. These lively neigh
bors prevent life from becoming mono
tonous.
II a white man commits crime it
never occurs to any one to organize
mob and "clean out" the entire block
in which he lives. Colored men even OF
the most exemplary character and
conduct live always in danger of this
treatment 1t has been melted out to
them in New York Yesterday in
Springfield Ohio, on the line of the
underground railroad" by which so
many negroes escaped to freedom be-
fore the war the simplicity of the
treatment was varied by burning down
row of negro tenements, To be driv-
en- half-clothed from their blazing
homes with the children clasped to
their breasts must have varied the dull
monotony of life considerably for the
negro women of Springfield.-New
York World.
