RECORD BREAKING SAVINGS DE-
POSTS.

4. Il. s r. n.
The most recent statements Of the
savings banks In all parts Of the coun-
try show record breaking savings de-
posits. At the close OF business Aug
ust the combined deposits Of the 10
savings banks In Boston were $751;
$4,000. the largest in their history. and
$5,385,000 above what the former state
ment has shown. The one hundred and
forty two savings banks in the state Of
New York showed July l.. 910, aggre-
gate resources OF $1.676, 1872, an In
crease during the year Of $8S.4S8,78
there has been an increase of 100,396 in
the number OF open accounts, while
the amount Of money deposited during
the year was $29,577,767, in excess of
the amount deposited during the year
l9OS-09; and the amount OF money de-
posted during the past year was $2S,-
147,795 more than the Withdrawals for
the same period.
Similar conditions prevail In all
other states. Our people are work
ing and saving. These statements re-
flute the claim that our people live ex-
|trayagantly or sQuander their In
comes. They also reveal the fact that
the masses have not been hit hard by
the high cost Of living. They further
indicate a constantly increasing pur-
chasing power OF the masses and con-
ltain q lesson for advertisers.

A Chicago physician says that mince
pie is bringing about a race deteriora-
ton. Such warning as this if given
in the summer when one did not feel
a hankering for mince pie, might re-
ceive some consideration. But right
now, as the coal bins are being filled,
mince pie, oyster fries and buckwheat
cakes come to our minds to remind us
that winter has some compromising
features. II we must deteriorate, as

BABE IN S'ATCA|EL
BENEATH BRIDGE
CORONER AND CHIEF OF POLICE
MADE GRUEsoME FIND YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

Shrouded in an ordinary linen table
napkin with cheap hand satchel for
a casket, the lifeless body of baby
boy was found beneath the south end
of the Vine street bridge yesterday
afternoon by Coroner A. w. Slaught
and Chief of Police Pete Gallagher.
The information was given the officers
by Charles Chiffon who operates a
stone quarry near the south approach
Of the bridge.
The officers Immediately left for
scene upon receiving the information
and the satchel was found on the bank
Of the river beneath the bridge. The
satchel had apparently been dropped
through a hole in th. bridge directly
above where the find was made, and it
is supposed by the officers that the
person or persons dropping the i'm
provised casket through the bridge
thought they were over the water. The
place where the body was found, how
ever, was two rods from the stream
on the bank.
No clue to the perpetrators has thus
far been found and the motive APP
parently was that of conceaiment of a
birth. The remains indicated a still
born child and was in the opinion of
the coroner more than day previous
to the time 1t was left beneath the
bridge.
The person or persons who left the
satchel and its ,gruesome contents un-
der the bridge apparently approached
the structure from the south side. A
man from the stone quarry was on
guard at the north end Of the bridge
with a light to prevent horses from
taking fright at scraping machine
belonging to Chiffon. which lay near
the north bank of the river and he
stated that no one passed him carrying
such satchel. The police are investi-
eating the mystery. Coroner Slaught
ordered decent burial Of the body.
