with this action and the efforts Of
the supervisors of the board of pub.
lie health in San Francisco to assist
the marine hospital service in its
effort to control the outbreak of the
plague.
The plague in San Francisco on
September had developed so rap
idly that, at the request of the
mayor OF tn city, President Roose-
welt placed the work In the hands
OF Surgeon General Wyman. Up to
this time there have been thirty
cases, and of these eighteen have
resulted fatally.
The work OF freeing the city of
the dread disease Is in the hands
of Passed Assistant Surgeon Rupert
Blue. who was rushed across the
continent from Norfolk as soon as
the marine hospital service took
charge Of the situation.
With Surgeon Blue are twelve as.
sistants. Four OF these were already
in San Francisco and eight others
were gathered from other stations
in the United States. Surgeon Blue
was selected for. the work because
OF previous experience with the
same disease.
News of the appropriation of
funds by the city was received by
Assistant Surgeon General Glennan
from DR.. Blue, and Is looked upon
as an indication OF the hearty co.

D William Hlanhart, secretary of the
savings bank section of the Ameri
can Bankers association, in a spetcn
before the association today on Uni.
form Laws for Savings Banks In
/ the Various States" said that as
many national banks had savings
departments, conducted with the per.
mission of the United States Com.
troller, these savings should be safe.
guarded and protected by national
legislation. Mr.. Hanhart suggested
the desirability of a federal statute
regulating the business under the
following conditions.
1T is not possible, nor would it
be desirable or fair. that savings
banks should be preferred creditors
but In permitting national banks to
open savings departments the de-
posts received in this department
should be segregated and invested in
the usual savings bank proportion,
that Is, say 60 per cent In loans
on bond and mortgage on a SO per
cent valuation, and the remaining 40
municipal and first mortgage rail.
road bonds. This would give
great security and stability to that
branch of the business and at the
same time, and to certain extent,
accomplish on object which has been
the subject of much discussion with.
In the last few years, that Is, the
investment of deposits in national
banks In loans on rea, estate. Such
legislation as | propose, whilst com
hitting national banks to invest In
realty loans, would perforce limit the
amount of such investments to 60
per cent of their savings deposits,
and no one. | think. would seriously
object to this"
THE cash reserves, | think. should
be kept on the same percentage
basis as their other deposits, al
though this Is matter that could
be further discussed; a smaller re-
serve may be found TO be quite suf.
hcient. You are aware that In our
large eastern savings banks per
cent cash reserve Is considered a
conservative one. and rightly so, for,
savings banks deposits, although
usually paid on demand, yet are sub
ject al any time, or may he made
absolutely subject to notice vary
ing from ten to ninety days.
might here mention that the new
Connecticut law regulating savings
departments exempt such deposits
from the cash reserve provision,
which applies TO their commercial
deposits.
Another advantage of the pro-
posed law would be that 1t would
tend TO settle TO some extent the
question OF postal savings banks, /,
which has so ably been discussed
this day by Mr.. Harwood, because
it would provide a safe depository
for savings in many small places
having q national bank. but where
the conditions do not warrant the
establishment OF a bank doing only
savings business. ! think our saw.
ings banks are nearly all opposed to
postal savings banks, and would
refer to the many reasons for this
opposition, but to my mind the one
paramount objection to the Govern
mont Postal Savings Banks is that
our government should not go into
the banking business. although 1t

 All abOard'' was again rung out in the darkness, and again the dim light from the lantern was signaled to go ahead; an easier feeling took pos session of Joe after his brother left the engine, still the rain was pouring down as if the f1oodgates of heaven had tCel opened; St. Augustine was passed and the whistle was sounding for Avon; both engineer and fireman were straInirg every optical nerve penetrating the driving rain and the oppres sive darkness: Prairie City was left in the dark, and only four miles to Bushnell; the "Macomb" was being tested as to her merits of speed, and was acting like a restless spirited race horse, fairly quivering under the ten der urging of her driver. Joe was complete master of her cratic ways, holding her in perfect control with his hand ever upon the lever and throt- tie.
 Three miles from Bushnell is Kepple creek; again was he peering into the blackness of the night made angry from the unceasing rain; only few yards from the engine did the head light penetrate, and as the light flashed upon the bridge a whistle for brakes vas sounded; 1t was too late; in another instant the treacherous bridge was reached and the engine went plugging into the chasm 20 feet below.
 Van Netta's body was found in the wreck completely cut in two, his left hand still iiold of the throttle. Con- ductor Goodrich was badly but not fla tally injured, tie fireman was instant ly killed and the brakeman crippled for life; strange to say, not a passen- ger was injured.

Children as Campaign Aids.

More and more is the appeal to the child becoming a factor in the achieve ment of political ambitions. The New York city electioneer has discarded the earlier methods of house-to-house calls on the children, preferring to as- semble all the boys and girls of the neighborhOOd at one time and place, and so strengthen his canvass by the impressive force of numbers. The leader of one district gave a days hol- iday to his constituency the other day, and there were gathered together 2O.. 900 persons, men, women and chil- dren, mostly children. There were ice cream and cake for the little ones, and beer, sandwiches and other induce nents for the parents. Each May and June there are monster parades of children to Central park, where an outing is had on the grass under the trees. Prizes are given for victors in the games, and the political leader who stands the expense provides a uniformity of dress, in addition to the good things children like. The pleas ant recollection of this day lasts in the district for many months. and the provider of The festival reaps his re- ward at the polls.

Breed for Size.

The shepherd should breed for size, weight of fleece, evenness of distribu- tion over the body, for length of sta pie and fineness, for vigor, healthful- ness and constitution, and as a result, he will soon have a flock of large thrifty sheep, which yield him each season fleeces of the highest merit.

 It was in the spring of '5S that a new train was scheduled to leave Galesburg at 2:30 a. m. and arrive in Quincy at $50 a. m., stopping only at Abingdon, Macomb and Augusta; it was q run of 100 miles, and 30 miles an hour then seemed faster than 70 does to-day.
 The night in question was porten- tCus of evil: the rain was pouring in torrents. and the inky blackness of the mght Cnly made the headlight shine with greater brilliancy, the thunder was mulHed at times. like the roar of an angry animal, the lightnings flashed at frequent intervals and were binding in effect.
 It was Van Netta's 'run,' and he left call for :45 and went to his room about nine o'clock, thinking to get as much sleep as the few hours would allow. After tossing restlessly for some time he fell into a dls turbcd slumber; how long he slept was uncertain; he woke with a start and feelings terribly agitated. He had had a vision of an accident, in which his youngest brother was hor- ribly mangled: he tried to dispel the fear, but it was useless; he got up and dressed, looked at his watch and saw it was 12:30, too near his call to go back to bed, and started for his train; reaching the depot, he told his strange dream, or vision, and said: If it was not endangering another's life l would not go cut on my run"
 The train from Chicago was pull ing into the station and there was the usual turmoil and confusion in chang ing cars; the train on the Northern Cross was standing on the main track, ready to pull out on schedule time; Van Netta was just coming from the opposite side of his engine, oiler in hand. when Conductor Goodrich called All aboard' and gave the sig nal with his lantern to leave.
