FAVOR POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS


President Roosevelt will send strong
recommendation to Congress in favor Of
the establishment of postal savings banks.
Postmaster General Meyer is strongly in
favor Of the establishment Of such banks
as branch of the postal service, and a
number of Senators endorse the plan.
The president is expected to urge Con-
gress to take this action. not alone on the
merits of the proposition itself, but in con-
necton with the financial situation. Those
who advocate the establishment OF these
banks believe they will bring vast sums
Of currency from its hiding places and
restore it to circulation, and that the es-
Enlistment of such a Government sys-
tenn OF banking will restore confidence
which has been shaken in many financial
institutions and which led to the recent
withdrawal from circulation large sums
o. monev.
In accordance with the plan OF Post
master General Meyer the postal savings
banks would be conducted under the
supervision Of the Federal postal service
and the masses would be encouraged to
deposit their savings with the Government.
In return for these deposits the Govern
ment would pay depositors 2 per cent in
terest and the money deposited with the
Government would be reoaned to national
banks, savings and trust companies for
about q per cert

VANITY HER WEAKNESS.
Professor Madelin Tells Alliance Fran
caise of French Empress.

According to w. S. Gilbert. in
Patience art stopped short at the Gull
tivated court of the Empress Josephine
and it was this empress that Prof. Louis
Madelin, of Paris, told about in an in
teresting way at a meeting Of the ALI
ance Franchise last night.
All the grandeur of the French court
under Napoleon was touched upon, and
from the interesting tale unfolded by Pro-
fessor Madelin, Josephine ran the gamut
of the passions from the depths Of despair
10 the heights Of power, love and author
ity, becoming at one time the supreme
leader of the women and the fashions of
France and later being dethroned by her
husband, the Emperor, and retired TO pri-
vate life.
The Empress josephine, NJ. Madelin de
scribed as a little creole, born in Martin
ique, running wild, adjoining herself witt
flowers % admire herself in the streams
with a mulatto slave as her nurse.
At the coronation of Bonaparte as Ma
poleon, Emperor of the French. this littl,
creole played her part with perfect grace
and ease. wearing the gorgeous 'manteol
imperial and receiving the JUNCTION from
Pope Plus VII. with admirable s~elf-posses'
sion.
But at the end of i've years as Empress
during which she spent most of her tint
on her dress, about which she was fool
ishly ~extravagant, she was obliged fol
political reasons. and in order to secure
an heir to the throne of France, to con
sent to a separation from the Emperor.

A GIRL AND HER DOG.
The Tale of a Car Hold-Up and the
Eternal Feminine.
Vice.President

A little girl and a little dog held up a
South Orange avenue car on its way up
Springfield avenue, opposite the Court
House, yesterday. AS the girl apparently
wanted to board the car. the motorman
stopped and then waited for the signal to
go ahead. There was a long wait and he
looked to see what the trouble was. He
saw the girl, who had n foot on the step
and one on the crosswalk, while she was
whistling for the dog that was romping
merrily on the grass in front Of the temple
of justice.
The dog failed to heed her calls and in
the meantime the conductor, the passen-
gers and the motorman We're beginning 20
lose their patience. Finally the girl ex-
claimed:
"Oh. l don't want this car. anyway. l
want a Turnpike car" and with a saucy
throw of her pretty head she withdrew
her foot from the step and walked away
after the dog.
The conductor gave two jerks at the bell
rope. the passengers smiled. the motorman
scowled and the car moved away.

Brandy to Restore Her After Shock.

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-Alice, a 9-months-
old leopard cub in the Central Park Zoo.
bad twelve teeth extracted yesterday, and
tainted under the operation. The keepers
had noticed for several days that the
leopard did not seem well, and finally she
refused to eat. Investigation showed that
Alice's teeth in the lower jaw had not
been shed and that the permanent teeth
had crown IN front of them. Several
dentists were telephoned for to draw the
teeth, but none responded TO the call, so
the keeper drew them himself. When the
last one came out Alice tainted, and sew
eral large drinks Of brandy We're required
to revive her. She soon recovered. and
the keepers say she will be in her usual
spirits In a few days.
Alice's twin brother, Nick, was eaten by

MR.. v0LLMER'S SHYL0cK.
An Interpretation That Betrayed Little
of the Amateur.

Large. enthusiastic audiences at each
performance of "The Merchant OF Venice"
given by ST. Mays Players. In the school
hall. William street, Monday, Tuesday ard
last night, testified to the excellence of
the work of the cast, which was, in fact,
so satisfactory as to cause spectators to
lose sight of the fact that they were be-
holding amateurs.
Arthur c. Vollmer's acting of shylock
would compare favorably with the work OF
many a seasoned professional. Only at
times did he fall short of expectations. His
handling of the scene in which Shylock
returns to his home to find Jessica gone
was a little disappointing In its abrupt
ness, and occasionally his voice dropped
from the appropriate articulation of the
Jew into its natural tones. but, MS a
whole, the portrayal was highly satisfac-
tory. His conception Of the jew was Of
a man whose nature was warped by in
h~eritance from generations Of oppression
and whose higher impulses had been
smothered under religious vindictiveness
and the greed for gold. Yet one could
not hate his Shylock; one could only pity
him.
III character of Bassanio was ably por-
trayed by Joseph L, Schaeffer and Miss
Marie Schramm's Portia revealed but slight
evidence Of the amateur. DR.. E. j,
Birs as Gratiano and Miss A. Zekus as
Nerlssa did good work, but exhibited a
tendency to drop their characters when
they ceased speaking, and to simply wait
for their cues. A clever Characterization
was hat of Launcelot Gobbo by r.
Schuber
The electrical and mechanical effects
were excellent. Moreover. they worked
beautifully, which is unusual for amateur
plays. The scenery was above the average.
The play was arranged and staged by the
Rev. P. Benedict, o. s. B., whose aim is
to produce what is best and most beau
tiful in dramatic literature in an effort
to encourage a liking for the higher
branches of the drama.
