charter, and it was never intended when these trust companies were | chartered that they would engage In savings bank business. But they did, not because they were given the right, | but because there was nothing in the | law to prevent them from doing so. A few facts relative to the situation | in Rhode Island in the banking mat ter may be timely. The trust compa- nies of Rhode Island have almost driv- en the savings banks out of business, as will be seen from the following ta- ble showing deposits:
 ioes Year Savings tsy Banks. a es1 2aG les i9o1 '74s9o,7s4 1s,7se,760 1896 6S 6s3697 9,9OOs42 The savings banks of Rhode Island have S5, 900, GOO less deposits than they had 10 years ago, and the trust compa- nieS have $53, GOO, 900 more deposits than they had 10 years ago. Before the trust companies opened m Rhode Island there were 39 mutual savings banks there. To-day there are 29 and the affairs of 12 of these are being wound up, leaving only IT mutual saw ings banks in Rhode Island that are still doing business. The trust com panies have killed off P mutual saw ings banks in about seven years and are competing on equal terms and un- der the same laws.
 Now that is not a very pleasant sit nation for Connecticut to contemplate, is it? But it is exactly the condition in which this state will find herself if something is not done, and if the work of the present committee on banks is futile to accomplish the en- actment of laws that are needed to protect the mutual savings banks of Connecticut, then that fact alone vii be pretty good evidence that the lobby still controls the general assembly.
 The trust companies make the claim that they cannot live if they are put on an equality with the savings banks, as regards the savings bank deposits. If they cannot, then why don't they keep to the line of business which it was intended they would conduct, a commercial bank?
 In the state of Massachusetts the mutual savings banks and the trust cOmp mpanieS are on an equal footing, and the reports from that State show that the average interest earned by the trust companies last year was 4.54 per cent, that of the savings banks 4.21 per cent. That is difference in excess of earning for the trust com panies of .35 per cent. Now, if the Connecticut trust companies are earn ing much more than the Massachu- setts companies, doesn't it look as if they were taking doubtful business, and doing it at a risk that is too great to be safe?I Bridgeport Herald5

mysterious Providence in the sickness and death of two lovely young ladies, the daughters of Joel H. Atwood. For several years they were my neighbors and one of them lived only few rods from us when she died. I don't know of nything that has occurred since I have lived in thesState of Connecticut, that has impressed my mind and heart as the death of those two sisters, only a few days apart, cut down right in the prime of life, when they were so we'll qualified to adorn society and be a help and blessing in their homes, in the church, and in the world. It did seem as if God would, Jas in the case of Hezekiah), lengthen out their lives on earth few years longer.

Animals, Nurses In London,

A London paper says that nurses
Skilled in the diseases of cats and dogs
can obtain regular employment at $40
a week for looking after sick prize and
pedigree pets. There is training
school for animals nurses In Pimlico.
A certificate is granted to apt pupils
AFTER six months experience in the
care OF sick creatures of all sorts, cats
and dogs particularly. Women make
much better kennel nurses than men
do. and there is growing demand, es-
pecially in big country houses, for the
services OF women able skiIlfully to
carry out veterinary surgeons treat
ment. One successful dogs nurse holds
the full certificate OF a well known
London hospital, but she prefers to de-
vote her nursing talents TO CANNES
rather than TO humans.

Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia, advises students against de-
Gliding upon u vocation too soon, says
the Boston Herald. According to DIR.
Butler, man should not go to college
with any settled convictions as to what
he is to do. DIR. Butler holds that col
lege is the place to make such n deci-
sion. The opportunities there are so
many and varied that, according to the
president, every man ought to find
something to suit him. He implies that
by the end of his senior year n man
ought to have acquired enough knowl-
edge to enable him TO determine his
riOht vocation
