THE VALUE OF SAVING. The current Issue of the Saturday Evening Post contains aD article of great Interest to all who are interested In saving and especially to those who are anxious that their children shall realize early the advantages that accrue to those who have the good sense to start and maintain a savings account. The article In the Post deals with school savings banks for children, and a part of the article follows The original plan of the school savingsbank, as introduced by Mr. Thiry, has remained practically unchanged. By its provisions every school teacher whose class adopts the system becomes officially a "bank," and is so designated. The bank, however, is conducted under the supervision of the principal of the school. The teacher acts as first cashier. The deposits are received every Monday morning just before the week's routine begins. The teacher calls the roll, and if the boy or girl has money to deposit, from one cent up, he or she says "Yes," and hands it over to the teacher, who makes a note of the amount alongside the child's name. This money, when collected, is placed In an envelope, which is sealed and signed by the teacher, who writes the amount outside. Then it is sent to the principal, who is not permitted to open the envelope. When all the envelopes from the various classes have reached him se sends them to a savings bank for deposit ia the name of the school. Accompanying the envelop on every fourth Monday, is a detailed list, giving the name of the pupil and the amount deposited by him each week. This list goes to the bank and the child's name then goes on the books of the institution. If the child so desires he can have a book regularly made out in his name and he can draw the interest. The pupil can draw out money after be has deposited $3, but only with a check signed by the parents or by the principal. Many precautions are taken to prevent the misuse of the money. If it is known, for example, that the mother of the depositor is addicted to the use of liquor her signature will not be honored on a check. Every child gets a school deposit book as soon as he begins his deposit. In this book is written the amount of every weekly deposit. This, therefore, is the record of' savings for the child in case he does not have a book at the regular savings-bank. On the back of the school deposit-book are the following regulations, the book here

to us Is the responsibility that It deveopes In children. Too many of t.s grow up without knowing the value of a dollar and rue that lack of knowledge later on In life when that almost inevitable time comes when we need money and need it bady. The man or woman who has become accustomed to putting aside a certain amount from their earnings and depositing It to draw interest and accumulate, knows the value of a dollar and by foresight escapes the pinches that many others suffer. The average child receives a dime or a quarter and immediatey begins to devise ways and means to spend it. And generally the money goes for something like candy and other useless things for a child. How much better it would be for the child wlo receives a dime or a quarter to feel that a certain part of that sum mu&t be put away in the school savings bank. Right at the start of that child's life, ft is encouraged to save money, not as a miser does, but as the average saving man does, by putting aside a certain part of .what is received. And that start made in early childhood, will stick to it throughout life.

BRIDE OF ALFRED GRAHAM MILES.

New York dispatches state that as a result of the advance In wheat, bread wil cost more than five cents a loaf. Are we, after all, then, to consider the American farmer, who raises the wheat, in no better light than that arch-monopolist, John D. Rockefeller?

The Southwestern Oil company, operating in Texas, a state from which oil trusts have been exiled, has gone out of business, declaring that It can not compete with the Standard Oil company. What's the use?

Apropos of Mr. Trainor and that trifling $20,000,000 loan from the Standard Oil company, we wonder if he crosses the street every time a Standard Oil official hovers in sight.

Possibly another reason Richmond does not experience a money stringency Is because it is out of the frenzied finance district.

And now that Cassie is dead and gone they find she left a good-sized fortune. What a fool lawyer she must have had.

Money may not be tight on the local market, but we often feel that someone Is squeezing our share too tightly.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE OPEN TO ALL.

NEGROES FROM LANCASTER, KY. Editor of the Paladium: Permit me space in the columns of your paper to reply to an article which was jpubllshed in the Item of the 9th, in reference to two hundred negroes from Lancaster, Ky. In this reply it is not my Intention to be resentful, antagonistic or insulting, but to give the facts as they are. Having lived in Lancaster fifteen years being personally acaualnted with each

quoted from being that of the Long Is- j family from that town, I feel it my duland school No. 4, where the system . ty to make a statement in our defense.

was first introduced

'Deposits will be received every Monday only, at the morning session, by the teachers of each class. The , amount whl be delivered to the principal, who will deposit It the same day in the Long Island City Savings Bank in the name of each depositor. "One cent or upward can be received by the teacher. When a pupil has a deposit of one dollar or more, a bankbook will be given free of charge, from the bank. Deposits cannot be withdrawn until amount reaches $3, and then only on the second Monday cf

each month, except in cases of sickness or removal from the city; but if the deposit should be withdrawn and the amount has been less than $3, the bank will charge ten cents for the bank "Deposits of $3 or over will bear Interest. "The bank books of the pupils are kept by the principals as long as they attend school. If they want to leave the school, or at vacation, the book wil be given to them, and they can withdraw their money, but they will require the presence of their father or mother, and the signature of the principal. During the summer vacation of the school, deposits may be made or money withdrawn from the bank direct, the cashier acting during that time for the teacher; but If the applicant Is unknown to the cashier he must be Identified before receiving the money. Some Idea of the extent of the school savings-bank savings may be obtained when it is stated that at the Long Island City school where the system was first introduced the average amount collected every Monday morning is $12,". The statistics which ar e collected

each year by Mr. Thiry show, according to the latest reports, that there are now 177,000 depositors. The largest number of banks in any one community Is In Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where there are one thousand. This means that one thousand classes are saving money. Careful study of this savings plan for children, which has been proved a success, convinces us that it would be a good thing for the schools of Richmond. The system was first started in 1SS5, and now extends to 1.09S schools located in 113 different cities of the United States and Canada. And since 1883, over $15,000,000 has been saved by school children. The particular feature of this plan that appeals

The Magazines.

To show to you that Lancaster is represented in Richmond by creditable citizens, I quote them as follows, glv-

i ing the time they have been here and

also their employment. The writer, formerly of Lancaster, has been a resident of Richmond for seven years. Luring my residence here I have been employed by the Panhandle railroad company, Westcott Carriage company, and am now in the employ of the Fetta Water Softening company. As to my industriousness, honesty and faithful-

j ness, I refer you to any of these. Rob

ert Robinson, resident of Richmond six years, and the entire time he has

been in the employ of the Panhandle railroad company; Thomas Doty, resident of this city five years, has been in the employ of the Kramer Saw Mill Co., the entire time. Frazee Owens, resident of the city four years: for two years he was employed by Kramer Saw Mill company. Now in the employ of Adam H. Bartel and has been for two years; he also has two orothers in the employ of the Jones Hardware company. Samuel Schooler, resident of the city four years; he has been in the employ of the Panhandle railroad company the entire time. Nicolas Leavell, deceased, whose family is supported by two sons, one a stone mason, the other in the employ of M. C. Henley. These are the families that have children In school. Five of these families have bought homes. Each family mentioned is in possession of recommendations from the most prominent and influential men of Lancaster. Ky. We desire to state that not one of these families left that town on account of any outburst of racial feeling, for any of them would be welcome to

return ai any time, it tne names quoted are not creditable citizens I ask of the editor of the Item to suggest a type of citizenship more creditable. It is very humiyating to these families to have it appear in print in such a manner as to impress the good citizens of Richmond that they are refugees. In concluding this article I de-iire to state that we feel grateful to the citizens of Richmond for their interest in us and we hope to be a blessing to this community instead of a urse.

Helpig the Blind to See. A writer in the New Idea Woman's Magazine for November gives an account of the great progress which has been made recently in the work which is being done for the blind. In the past the blind have been considered merely the objects of pity. Now this attitude has changed. More and more every year the blind are becoming self-supporting. Educators have proved that they may read and write and enjoy all the intellectual pursuits that are thereby opened up and still more recently have the economic pursuits, one after another, opened their doors to the blind. Sewing, typewriting, massaging and piano tuning are among the occupations in which the sightless may excel, and every opportunity for their pleasure and development is now given them. The photographs which accompany the article are unusually interesting, showing as they do, the blind children and grown people at work and at play. Italian Beggars.

The announcement has just been made that Frances Hodgson Burnett has accepted the editorship of the Children's Magazine, and that her son, Vivian, who was the original of her famous "Fauntleroy" has become part owner and manager of the publication. The Children's Magazine which was founded by Katherine Newbold Birdsail, who is Mrs. Burnett's associate, is an illustrated monthly for young folks from three to thirteen, containing in addition to stories, humorous verse, fairy tales, etc., departments dealing with nature, gardening, "making things," little pieces of music, a club of home makers, a Humane Society,

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Oct 12

The steel steamer Cypress, owned by

the Lackawanna Transportation Com

pany, and on her second trip down the lakes with. a cargo of ore, was

wrecked last night in Lake Superior, off Deer Park, thirty miles from

Grand Marais, and all of the crew of twenty-two, excepting the second mate

were lost. He was washed ashore

near Dear Park, lashed to a life-raft

and barely alive. He was in a criti

cal condition and was able to tell on

ly that the steamer was the Cypress and that he was the sole survivor. He suffered terribly from exposure and battering of the waves. Two bodies, those of the first mate and watchman, were also washed

ashore at Deer Park. The Cypress was a new boat, 440 ! feet long, with a capacity of 7,400 tons. ! She had made only one trip to the ! head of the lakes, and was bound down on her second trip. It is be-j lieved here that the machinery of the ! Cypress must have met with an acci-j dent, as the northwest storm lastj night was not severe enough to wreck such a strong vessel. A careful pa-1 trol of the beach is being made by the 1

life-saving crew in the search for bodies. The captain of the Cypress was F. B. Huyck, of Sheridan, N. Y. The first mate was John Smith, of Cleveland.
