GREAT WORK FOR
LITTLE PE0P.L Ii
But Mission kindergarten Is I'm

Come.

With the exalted purpose of incul-
eating a knowledge of the beautiful OF
this life, to withdraw them for BRIEF
time from their wretched and poverty
stricken homes to brighter surround
ings, q Mission Kindergarten has been
inaugurated, under the supervision OF
the Kindergarten Association OF TINS
city, and has opened at 20l East Cary
Street. Help for the undertaking mas
come In from all sides. The use OF
room and piano has been donated by
the Board OF Nurses Settlement. The
Monumental Church has loaned chairs
and tables and other equipment. tifty
dollars has also been contributed for
bread and milk for the children, whose
families are almost penniless. The
Kindergarten Association has under
taken to further this work, and hopes
the public will cooperate. It's mem
bership is now $50, but 1t is especially
anxious to increase 1t to 500, IN order
that the kindergarten may be put on q
permanent basis and perfect its plans.
Membership names may be sent to
Mrs. r. w. Williams. Dumbarton, Va,
or to Miss Lou Belle Jones' West
Second Street, city. The Misses Witt
and McCluer are giving their services
to the management in the kindergar-
ten.
The children who will benefit by this
charity come from Canal street and
the regions near the penitentiary. from
whose depths they seldom emerge to
the brighter city. Many mothers who
work during the day have begged to
he allowed to enter their children, but
at present the kindergarten can only
accommodate eighteen, which is the
number now in attendance. The de-
lights of song, game and story appeal

being fitted to make the most Of life.

lngs to the limit, when more bonds may

One of the first effects to follow tho
opening of the postal savings banks,
say Post-oiilce Department officials,
VIII be the falling off in the purchase
OF international and local money orders
by our alien population. II is believed
this class OF citizens will be among the
hrst TO avail themselves OF the postal
savings depositaries and that they will
discontinue their practice of sending
their savings to their old homes in Eu-
rope for deposit in the foreign posta,
savings banks. The decline In the sale
Of foreign and local money orders may
show IN postal receipts, but 1t Is be-.
lleved the general good resulting to
the country will more than Offset the
loss from this source.
Strong Feature.
treasury officials declare that one OF
the strong features OF the postal saw
ings bank law is the authority given
the board OF trustees to use the postal
savings for investment In United States
bonds. AS the postal funds grow they
can be exchanged for bonds, which be-
come subject to the call of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. The success
that has attended the creation of pos.
tai savings banks in foreign countries
convinces the board of trustees that
like success will Immediately follow the
opening of the banks in the United
States.
Owing to the fact that Congress APP
propriated only 100000 to start the
work, the board of trustees has been
compelled to go slow in the matter Of
selecting the cities in which the FIRST
banks will be located. After much fig
uring the board decided on fifty cities,
the names Of which will not be given
out, it is said. until everything is ready
for the postmasters to begin business
opening accounts with depositors. The
reason for Withholding this information
is to stop pressure from political in
fluence from cities that have filed ap-
plications to be selected and which will
have to walt until the first returns
come in, as the extension of the banks
will depend on the success which fol-
lows the establishment OF the new sys-
tenn In the fifty post-offlces In question.

REJECTS PROPOSAL.
Germany aud America Far Apart In
Potash Dispute.

FO1uSn dispute.
Berlin November Germany has
rejected the American proposal in con-
nection with the export of potash from
can interests, This proposal sought to
halve the difference under dispute
caused by the enactment OF the potash
bill by Germany last May. The Ameri-
can contractors would thus have ac-
cepted a loss Of sl4,000.00o. that is, 81
100000 annually for seven years. which
constituted the life OF their contracts.
Germany's refusal to accept the
american proposal is on the ground
that 1t does not accord with the pro
visions of the new potash law, and
cannot consider any proposals not in
harmony with that act.
If the Americans have proposals to
make in consonance with that law 1t
viii consider them. Various conditions
are mentioned in the reply framed by
tho German government. all of which
are of an uncomprising character.
