great Importance is the shortage in

New York state has good many
apples, but they will be needed, and
for that matter the total Is only about
one-fourth to one third of the full

FAVORS POSTAL
SAVINGS BANKS

Postmaster General George Won L.
Meyer was the guest of honor at the
banquet OF the lndusti iai club Of Chi
cago last week. He gave his views re
garding postal improvements, includ-
ing establishment OF postal savings
tanks and the extension of the par
osls post syst. m, which he will rec.
ommend to congress in his annual re-
port.
He said the postotfice department
during the past fiscal yeai sent to Eu.
rope the money of immie rants to the
extent OF s7l QUO, 100. He estimated
the amount ut money in the United
States at So, l23, O56, ,673. of which 81,
OlO, TO- 90 Is Ia the banks. 1893, S55,
U53 is III the treasury, and the bal
ance, 81, rs. sol 62O In the hands of
individuals aud other places.
"For striking illustration of the
value of II postal savings bank, take
the resent time" said MI. Meyer.
MANY small accounts nave been
withdr avn from national banks, trust
companies and savings banks by, y,timid
depCsiors, and the money has gone in
to the strong box or into hiding On
occasions like these what people want
Is absolute security. Alter they with
draw their money they dread loss
from theft OF by fire, but they do not
lose confidence in the security of the
Cover nment or 1t pledges. Therefore
the small accounts referred to would
flow into the postal savings banks. and
would be led back into tue channels
of trade by being depositei In the ma.
tional banks iu those communities, to
the great advantage Of labor and in
dnstry.
"When crisis had passed and con-
tidence had been restored, the money
would be returned to the savings
banks, because in the postal savings
banks it would receive only about
halt the interest paid by savings
hanks IL the money is withheld from
national banks or trust companies, it
loses the benefit of being drawn by
check, nor, if deposited in postal
savings bank, can the depositor re-
ceive aeoomm odation in the way OF a
loan or the acceptance of bankable
paper. In other words, the postofbce
department Is not going into the
banking business. 1t desirs only to
encourage thrift to offer an accessible
and safer form of depositing savings
by naturalized citizens and foreigners
ss we'll as by our people living in out
of tho way Places"
Mr.. Meyer said in conclusion he
believed the need for both parcels
post and postal savings banks would
be recognized by congress this year.

FLOODS OF ARKANSAS.
Train Passenger Tells of His Thrill
ing Experience.


Railroading in Arkansas during the
Hood season Is an experience which
l hope l may never have to repeat. 1
have been through it, says a writer in
the New York Herald.
We left Texarkana, Tex, early
Wednesday morning, Jan. 2, eastward
bound, our train being about five hours
late. 1t had been raining steadily for
three days and nights, with occasional
cloudbursts in the mountains, the water
rushing into the valley in great
streams, carrying everything before 1t
over the railroad tracks. When pas
sengers looked out of the car they were
not sure if they were on land or sea.
At l o'clock next morning, in the
neighborhood of Benton, Ark, we were
told by the conductor that there was
washout in the rear, that he was
not sure that we could go ahead, but
that we could not under any circum-
stances stand still, for in thirty min
utes we would be scrambling in the
River, and in it's madness nothing
could live.
The engine driver took the Ono
chance, crossing a trestle when he was
not sure whether it was still in con-
dition to bear heavy train of eleven
cars, as the water was three feet over
the trestle. We passed over all this
safely and reached Benton, which was
about three miles from the scene.
Fifteen minutes behind us was an
other train with about fifty passen-
gers, but they never got across as the
train was ditched within sight OF the
trestle. About 2 o'clock in the morn
ing we had to run back to the trestle
and wade through the water to rescue
the unfortunate women and children.
We were marooned two days at Ben
ton. Fortunately for us all, they had
a little place called the Astor Hotel,
which in its style of cooking did not
belle its name, but they had nothing to
cook. Thursday for breakfast we had
ham and eggs, for dinner eggs and
ham, supper boiled eggs and ham. That
was the same menu for our entire stay.
Luckily we got away on Saturday, as
we could not have gotten that much,
as they had run out of eatables and
we would have been compelled to sub
sist ON air and water.
The most noteworthy and pleasant
part Of our experience was that we
had a most congenial load of passen-
gers who knew how to make the best
of the circumstances. We have drawn
up an agreement to meet every year
hereafter at Benton for four days
celebration of our deliverance.
