WOMEN EXCEL MEN IN SAVING MONEY

This Statement Made Clear By the Books of the Savings Banks. FOREIGNERS ARE LEADERS TWENTY-THREE PER CENT OF THE FIRST SIX MONTHS' BUSINESS IS DONE DURING FIRST WEEK IN JANUARY. New York, Jan. 7. The busiest time of the year at the savings banks Is the first week of January. The president of the Greenwich Savings Rank told an inquirer that 23 per cent of the first six months' business of 3009 was done during the first week f the year. The cashier of the German Savings Bank said that, speaking generally, the deposits at that bank during the first week of January represent 15 per cent of the deposits of the, entire year. At the Bowery Savings Bank, the largest institution of its kind in the world, the deposits during the first week of January usually aggregate a little more than 15 per cent, of the year's total business. These data, which throw an interesting light on the saving habits of a large proportion of the population of Kew York, a city generally credited tvJth the spendthrift habit, are pretty veil known, because the same figures have served for half a dozen years or more. What is not so well known is the part woman now plays In piling up the assets of the New York savings banks. If woman, as some persons believe, is really more extravagant than man, certainly the fact can't he proved by the New York savings banks. Majority Are Women. At the Greenwich Savings Bank, for Instance, situated in the shopping district and the first savings bank to have a separate woman's department, It is occasionally necessary during the January rush to open a dividing gate and, divert the tail of the line of women to the men's line, which maybe is only one-third as long. But this is not all. Says the president: "Of the 91,239 accounts on our hooks about 55,000 represent- women. These are exclusive of several hundred more women who appear regularly to deposit the family savings or the husband's savings in the husband's name. "A large majority of the 55,000 are xvage earning women, representing almost every kind of industry and most of- the professions. We have a great many teachers on our books, also many stenographers, typewriters, saleswomen, factory workers, domestics and others. Increase in Deposits. "About eighteen years ago, before the bank was moved from quarters a little farther downtown to its present situation, our yearly statement showed assets of about $22,."KX,000. Our assets now are $02,000,000 and the increase is largely due to the great increase in the number of women depositors, many of whom let their deposits stay In the bank- to accumulate interest. A far larger number do not do this, which is another way of saying that there are more transactions now than formerly connected with savings bank deposits and depositors. "For example, we have woman depositors who, shopping near the bank, and getting short af cash, run in to draw the necessary amount which perhaps in a few days they bring back to deposit, and depositors who after a shopping trip drop in to deposit a few dollars they saved maybe by getting bargains and which they may decide to take out again a few days later on fcnother shopping trip. "Germans and Irish are the best savfrs and don't you believe it that only the Germans know how to save and that the Irish are an improvident lot given to squandering rather than saving. It is surprising the amount of money Irish servants often save in a Tew years to send to the old country. "At the most conservative estimate It Is certain that today women put to per cent more In the savings banks than they did twenty years ago. irrespective of the increase In population." Stung For 15 Years by Indigestion's pangs trying many Soetors and $200.00 worth of medicino In vain, B. F. Ayscue, of Ingleside, N.

Scene From the Clans Man at

PICTURES ATTRACTIVE. The Lymau H. Howe's motion picture at the Gennett theater last evening was the best seen in this city in many weeks. Many interesting subjects were displayed, but the most interesting of all seemed to be the pictures depicting scenes on large battleships, such as the aiming, loading and shooting of large guns. To make the discharge of the guns the more realistic, a machine on the stage made a miniature explosion. But a fairly large crowd was present. Race Horses in "The Clansman." The eouine actors in "The Clansman" have became famous from one end of the country to the other. The animals are taken on tour in a special j box car. They are not ordinary j "nags," by the way, but retired race J horses including several old-time winners of handicaps aud stake events, and they served their stage apprenticeship in the famous chariot race in "Hen IluT" At the word of command the horses, caprisoned in flowing white robes and bearing their Ku Klux j Klan riders, dash across the stage at j full gallop to the rescue of the Camerons in the third act. The Ku Klux Klan cavalry will be seen on parade when the play comes to town for its initial engagement at the Gennett theatre, on Tuesday next. The seats were placed on sale this morning. "Three Twins." Miss Florine Sweetman, who has , Hoo mo 1.-1 no- o Mo- hit in .-nmi. vv. c. opera,, has signed a long term contract to appear with Jos M.

It is the first time in her professional carter that Miss Sweetman has ever had a written contract, and she preferred to have it short and simple, so Mr. Oviatt, who is in charge of Mr. Gaites' interests, accommodated her. Miss Sweetman will be seen here in "Three Twins" when it plays at the Gennett next Thursday, Jan. 13th. "The Girl from Rector's" Paul M. Potter, who rose to international fame through his authorship of "Trilby," was paid more royalties Ion "The Girl from Rector's last seas on than was received by any other playwright in New York for a single work. The piece opened at Weber's Music Hall early in January and continued an interrupted run of seven months, brought to a close only then because contracts for road appearances had been made previously.

The Blue Mous;. l is often said that most Germans take beer in such moderate quantities that it stimulates healt'.i. They also t.'ke "The Blue Mouse," which is more invigorating but lets intoxicating than beer. Another difference is "The Blue Mouse" e:m be taken in larger quantities. There's one reason t'.ie Germans have liked it for over a year. Clyde Fitch, the playwright realized this, and persuaded the Messers. Shubort to introduce "The Bice Mouse" to Now York. It has been an immense success. Tens of thousands took large doses in the metropolis, thousands more dosed themselves at the Garrack in Chicago last summer. A similar opportunity will be offered here by the Shuberts at the Murray Theater, Jan. 11. next Tuesday evening at t'.ie Murray theatre.

FRESHENING RIBBONS. A Simple Process For Cleansing Them at Home. A good sized empty glass bottle covered smoothly with soft flannel and a liuen outside is most valuable to a girl who likes plenty of pretty ribbons aud who has only a limited amount of money to ppend ou them, for with such a bottle to dry the ribbons on there is uo ueed of ironing, and so the pieces come from the bath looking HWe new. A Hat. wide, high bottle is best for ii.ls purpose, and a piece of flanrei rolled around it smoothly and sewed securely make a foundation, over which cotton must In; bound so that any creases iu the cover will not go into the ribbons. The same bottle may be used for years without recovering. It is well to wait until there are a dozen or more narrow pieces to be freshened, for It is uo more trouble to cleanse a dozen tbaa to wash one. They sbculd be put Into a bath of soapy warm water, but soap ls u-.it to be rubbed directly upon the riblous. Neither sheuhl the pieces be rubbed In the hands. Instead they are squeezed under the water, put ihrou'h several soapy baths aud tLrciiirh two rinsings. Laying them ou the bottle requires time, and one should consider it u task to be done carefully. Lach piece of ribbon should be put around and around the bottle, keeping the winding Hat and smooth. A3 fast as one is used the uext is placed, the new end holding down that of the piece previously folded. There may be four or live pieces, one on top of the other, and if the quality is good the colors will not run. The end of the last piece must be pinned to hold all securely, and the bottle should then be placed where drying will be rapid. Direct sunlight may fade the colors, so the cylinder should be put near artificial beat. When not iu use the bottle must be wrapped in paper to prevent soiling the covering. Wide ribbons are renewed by washing, though in a diilereut manner, for to prevent their creasing in a bath they must be evenly wet with clem water and then patted smooth oa a marble washsiaud or other flat sur face. The strand must then I e washeO with soapy water, using the finger tips This scours without pulling the silk grain. Vheu all soii !i:s been removed the ribbon is lifted nt:d rinsed by hold iug flat under a fauet-t a:.d letting the water run t!. rough and down without j permitting the surface to wrinkle. This : done, the wet strand is again laid flai . and patted gently and thoroughly that there may be uo blisters beneath the surface, for they show when the silk is dry. ! In some parts of England one of the best cures for "a swollen neck is , to draw a snake nine times across the j throat of the suffering one. after which the snake is killed and its skin sewed in a silken Lag and tightly sewed around the neck. Another way, almost as good, is to put the live snake in a bottle, which is tightly corked and buried near the roots of a rose bush, and as the hclpness snake decays the swelling in the neck of the patient will disappear. If you are troubled with sick headache, constipation, indigestion, offensive breath or any disecsc arising from r-toraach trouble, get a 50c or ii. bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It Is positively guaranteed to enre von. Gennett Jan. 13 u - - ' -.

Robeits was assaulted after he had refused to drink with a number of workers who are employed by the Knickerbocker Ice Company. After his refusal a man in the saloon shouted that he was not a union member. Several of the crowd grabbed Roberts and hurried him out of the place into the sleet and snow. "Get a rope." another man shouted, and one was brought. Other workmen joined the now frenzied mob. until fully one hundred had gathered, and than the cook was dragged to the Icehouse, screaming for help. Mrs. Andell heard his cries, and quickly throwing a wrap over her shoulders seized a shotgun and the stove poker , in her kitchen aud ran out into the, storm. "Stop, or I'll shoot: she cried. "Let that man alone!" No attention was paid to her warnings and the rope was thrown about Roberts's neck and tied to a rafter, leaving his toes barely touching the floor.
