Savings depOsitors In Chicago banks
have over $i5O,OOO,OOO to their credit.
The exact amount shown by the last
bank statement. April Z, was $1i0,7l4
OF. This amount has been cOnsidera.
bly, increased during the past two
months. The semi.nnnunl interest to
be paid to Chicago savings depositors
In July will amount to $2,??5.OOO.
The best criterion Of public conf
dence In savings banks IL the growth
Of savings deposits In the pnst ten
years. In 1906 the total saving de-
posits In Chicago amounted to only
$24 100000. and five years later they
had increased to $40.OOO,OOO, passing
the $lOO.OOO.O00 mark In 1908.
Another splendid example Of public
confidence In our savings banks WIS
when Marshall Field chose the Mer.

the principal executor Of his cstatc.
amounting to about $i2O.O0O,OOO. Ow.

edge OF the affairs Of Chicago banks.
and the fact TINT he chose to put the
care OF his vast estate Into the hands
Of the Merchants Loan and Trust Com
pany, the oldest bank In Chicago. WIS
II splendid Enforcement for that bank.

The new world language. Esperanto,
seems to have already won more advO.
Gates than the older volapuk. No man.
ufactured language, however. seems to
have much chance In competition with
English, which long ago displaced
French as the most useful and widely
spoken language aud which IL gaining
faster than ever In all parts Of the
world. Quite recently the German gov.
eminent has ordered that all railway
officials and employees must learn to
speak English. In Antwerp also the
authorities are urging oil classes to
study English and are providing spe.
cial facilities In the public schools; the
city has become "almost an English.
speaking port" In Japan all school
children are now obliged to learn our
language. A few years hence tourists
from this country will be able to get
along there az easily 40 on o trip at
home. With Great Britain, india, Aus
tralia. Canada. the United States aud
large sections OF Africa using English,

Alaska Is still a great lone land, but
with considerable railroad building In
progress 1t may be on the eve OF a
great change. People prefer to travel
to gold fields by rail to tracking over
mountains and wastes, and We may yet
see considerable towns develop there,
for those now In existence are In many
: Instances little more than hamDets. Any
: place In Alaska having 800 Inhabitants
can become an Incorporated town. Even

The message was interrupted by new
