RICHMOND WOMEN

AMERICAN VESSEL RAMMED IN COLLISION. ' Sill y

NOT BUSINESSLIKE this Is Evidenced by Peculiar Little Things They Do At Banks. THEY HAVE MANY WHIMS. ALL WANT NEW MONEY AND AS A GENERAL RULE CANNOT BE TAUGHT TO WRITE OR ENDORSE A BANK CHECK.

Why is it that the average Richmond woman cannot. be taught to write or Jndor.se a bank check? It is regarded by bank officials and employes as the eighth wonder of the world and a never to be solved mystery why it can not be done, hut it. is generally admitted that it. is one of the Impossible things comparable only 10 the riddle of the .sphinx or squaring the circle. The numerical amount on the date line, no date at all. the written amount where the name of the page should b written (and the written and printed nmount to disagree at least. ." cents), any signature in any place - the back of the check is just as good as anywhere vise and a sniff of a fuss if the prematurely gray paying teller dares to make a correction! That's the way the avrrage woman banks, except that she can ring in a dozen changes In as many tnlnutes. "And the ladies. (!od bless em." said the president of one of the Mg trust companies, "all love to bank nd they are all at it. The generality cf them would rather have a bank account and have it overdrawn 7 cents 'than sport a solid silver purse full of whining gold coin. "My bank' or words hat they linger over lovingly and their elation knows no bounds when a typewritten letter from the cashier requests Mrs. X to call at the bank in regard to her account, which is overdrawn "Only recently a prominent TtiehTtiond woman, upon receving one of these notices from our bank, rushed breathlessly in and confided to the cashier tha she did not know any money was coming to her. for she thought the had drawn it. all out, and she asked Fweetly how she could get it. Should he make out a check for it or would the teller give it to her if she presented the slip the bank had sent her. Your Idea of an Indorsement. "The other day I had an experience which I always remember as one of the -most delicious that ever occurred to me in that line. The daughter of a prominent business men had been givYn a check' for $.' by her father as a little spending money to use down town. The paying teller happened to he out and I was in his box temporarily, just, to keep my hand in. The young woman came up to me joyously sin-' '-resented the check. It was made att to her in her name and she was all miles as she pushed it thro'gh the bars at me. "Can you cash this for me?" she said wcetlv, with her hand out expectantly. "Must as soon us you indorse it.' tHaid I. "'And where do I do that?" she fraid. " 'Right over at that table.' "She went over to the desk, fumbled uncertainly with the pen a minute, bit it, then hastily wrote out something on the face of the check. " 'Here is your indorsement,' she fcaid. beamingly. "She had written out on tho face )f the check. 'I think this is a verypood bank.' and signed it. I cashed the check without, saying anything nnd she went away happy in the thought that she had increased her stock of knowledge regarding banking methods. "But while 1 am on this subject 1 irlon't want to overlook the fact thai It is not always the women who show Ignorance of the forms of handling checking accounts, and at the end of )n week will go over them and make Itheni balance to a cent. But a business man with a. savings account very frequently gets himself sadlv tangled bp. "The savings bank hook always peems to him to be a Chinese puzzle, Itnd many are the breaks he will make, lie will sometimes write out an order for his account on the bank book itself, and send some one to collect it." The women have a very satisfactory way to themselves, if not to the tank officials, or" adding sufficient funds to their account to meet an overdraft. Only a few days ago a lady ho had been notified that her account was badly overdrawn, presented herself to the cashier and asked

just what she must do ' rectify tht mistake. He courteously explained that she must deposit enough money in the bank or a check large enough to rover the amount due. Her fae brightened and she sighed as if a great load were taken off her mind, sat calmly down and wrote a check for the amount due and she drew it upon the same account and the same bank. Site does not understand to this day why the bank would not accent it. .Inst give a woman a check book and there is no telling to what lengths she can ami will" go. Many amusing tales of interesting methods are told. An official of a local banking company said a lady walked into his bank recently and requested a loan of $.".oh. She was asked for Iter security whether she owned property or land in the city. She replied in the negative, whereupon the official aid that he was sorry, but fhey did not do business on such terms. The lady was mine than indignant ami insisted that, he go out and look at the sign on his building and then he would very plainly see the word "trust." She guessed what that meant because her grocer trusted her and she never had to give any security to him. "New money," not the sound article, is the cry of the female financier, and woe to the bank that is not prepared to hand out fresh, crisp bills and newly minted coin in return for a mixed up, badly written, ink bedaubed check. Women object strenuously to making out their own deposit slips and cannot or will not understand that the bank requests them to do it. for their own protection. A great many women require the teller to make out their checks. Not long ago a local bank had an amusing experience with a. new depositor. She confessed to the teller that she did not know how to make a check, and he made it out to her, explaining as he went along. Then he handed it to her, saying: "Sign, madam. lower line, please." She took the cheek and delivered the noods all right, for when she returned it for payment, the check was signed "Lower line" in a dainty hand. On the Monday after Christmas, the bank clerks at a big trust company, haggard with festivities, returned to work. Almost as soon as business opened, a young lady, beaming with evident gratification, walked up to the counter and presented a check. The cashier took it. and then handed it. politely back. "Will you please indorse it, madam?" he said. "Indorse it?" murmured the young lady, puzzled. "Yes, across the back, you know," replied the man, to busy to notice her bewilderment. The lady carried the check to the desk, laid it face downward, and nibbled the end of the pen thoughtfully for several minutes. The inspiration came, and. with a triumphant hand, she wrote across the back: "For Alice, from mother. Christman, 1907." At .one of the big national banks some months ago a perfumed, crested note of a depositor of the bank read: "Please stop payment on check No. 1907, as I have accidentally burned the same." A depositor at the same bank was notified that her account was overdrawn, but still iter checks continued to pour in. When they did not cease for four or five days an official called her up on the telephone and told her that payment would be stopped on her checks unless she made her account good. She puffed right up and said she would show him that he was wrong and that she had money in ihe bank. Half an hour later she came down to the bank with her checkbook and the explanation that "she knew she was right, for there were at least half a dozen blank checks left in The hook I" Another peculiarity is the way they make out checks to themselves. Where a man makes it out to "cash" a woman makes it out to the order of Mary Brown, signs it Mary Brown, and turns it over and indorses it "Mary Brown." Thus far have women progressed in the last ten years, since it became common for them to do general banking business. It remains to be seen how much they will develop in the next ten years. The World's Best Climate is not entirely free from disease, on the high elevations fevers prevail, while on the lower levels malaria is encountered w a greater or less extent, according to altitude. To overcome climate affections lassitude, malaria, jaundice, biliousness, fever and ague, and general debility, the most effective remedy is Electric Bitters, the great alterative and blood purifier: the antidote for every form of bodily weakness, nervousness, and insomnia.

He will temporarily close the New Phillips, which has been used for vaudeville the past three years. Mr. Murray believes thai the people of Richmond are ready for a stronger vaudeville bill than has yet been ottered them and in order to provide it he has deemed it expedient to advance the prices slightly, so thai at night they will range from ten to twenty cents, according to location. Another big act will be added to the bills, providing an entertainment that will take the best part of two hours. The initial bill for the Gennetit under the new arrangement is thought to be a very strong one.

Gentry's Famous All New Shows which will be seen here May 1, are noted the whole country through for the excellence of their entertainment, no detail is allowed to be too trivial to be considered and nothing is omitted thai can in any way enhance the performances given. The success for which this organization is noted, is largely due to this fact, ami from start to finish their exhibitions abound with humor, fun and interest. The Gentry Brothers are now on their twentieth tour of the country, revisiting the scenes of their former triumphs and making new friends wherever their tents are erected. This season it is said they have an equipment that is second to none, every department is thoroughly up-to-date, and the show itself twice the size of former years. It must be distinctly understood that the. organization that visits Richmond next -Monday is a combination of the original Gentry shows, under the personal direction of Mr. Gentry, who is with the aggregation and who manages the same down to the slightest detail. In addition to the dogs and ponies, they carry two herds of highly trained elephants, two droves of Siberian camels, ami the: performance of these natives of the jungle and desert are something that must be seen to be appreciated.

TAKE AWAY POWER

Taggart's Friends Hope Hand State Committee A Lemon. to FEELINU IS VERY BITTER. Indianapolis, hid.. May 2. A rumor is going- the rounds that some of the leading anti-Taggart men are making an organization to take control of the Democratic campaign away from the State Committee. . The plan is said to have originated among the promoters of the Bryan volunteers, who were beaten in their movement to organize the Slate Committee and the state convent ion. It is said that the lending anti-Taggart Democrats hope to get the indorsement of Thomas R. Marshall, nominee for Governor, by convincing him that the state organization, head ed by Taggart's cohorts, is in bad odor with the rank and fib', and t lint under iis management, there is no chance of success. If Marshall will say the word the separate organization will be formed, and it will manage all of the important details of the atnpaigii. The feeling between 1 lie leaders of the rival factions is as bitter as ii was during the reorganization of tin committee and the state convention, and predictions are made that l he will not work in tin- same harness ibis y.'ar.
