PCS TAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Postmaster-General Gary Urges Their Es-
tablishment—“'n-.1lll 'Develup Thrift.
W’ashington, Nov. 15.;—-Postmaster-
General Gary devotes a third of his
first annual-report to a presentatibn oi
115 views upon the establishment oi
postal savings banks. which he strong-
ly favors. .
”The establishment of a postal sav
ings system, " he says. ”would tend in-
eyitably to the cultivation of thrift 111
a large class of people.
instrumentality those who have been
improvident in little things. and who
have not learned from experience that
money makes money. will be educated
slowly but surely to save a surplus
over and above their living expenses, to
the end that a fund may be created
which will provide for them when sick-
ness or old age overtakes them. When
they realize that their savings may be
so utilized under the direction and care
of their government that even small
amounts will earn money for them, it
is but reasonable to suppose that they
will be incited to greater exercise of
thrift and industry. They would soon
come to understand the necessity of
depositing with the Government their
surplus earnings. instead of expending
them ‘wastefully, and, therefore, use-
lessly. ‘lf but a small percentage of the
money, a young person expends unnec-
essarily, in the many ways known to
all, could be saved and wisely invested,
there would be a Competency at hand
when old age comes.
“In my judgment, the establishment
'of postal savings depositon‘es would
tend to better citizenship. 'If the
masses of the people were thrifty and
saving in their habits, they would more
likely be contented and happy, and it.
their hard-earned savings could be
_placed in the hands of the Government,
in the welfare of which they are all so
deeply concerned, it is reasonable to
Suppose that they would come to a bet-
ter realization of the duties they owe
to their country and. consequently to
each other. The union of common in-
terest would surelSr result in a' broader,
wiser and more useful citizenship/The
successful operation of a postal sav-
ings deposit system would bring into
closer relationship the Government and
its citizens, and result in the develop-
ment of practical and enduring patriot-
ism. The citizen who feels that he has
a personal interest in the affairs of the
Government, beyond the payment of
his share of taxes and the discharge of
those other duties common to all, is of
more value to the community and the
nation than one whose conception of
citizenship means merely the perform-
ance of those duties.
.“The advantages to result from the
adoption of a system so promising in
the growth of patriotic sentiment and
gOod citizenship, in my opinion, con-
stitute a powerful appeal to statesman-
ship to provide by law for the applica-
tion and the spread of its beneficent
consequences. With the multiplication
of depositors would come the elevation
of the standard of citizenship, the ce-
menting of the ties that bind the peo-
ple to the Government, the strengthen-
ing of the public credit, and the ulti-
mate betterment of all concerned. ”
BRUTAL MURDER.
New York Printer’s Head Smashed
’ in with Stones. _
New York, Nov. 15. ——Thomas J.
Lyons, a printer employed by the Lock-
wood Press Company, of 143 Bleecker
street, was killed with stones in a lot
‘on Fulton street, near Saratoga ave-
nue, Brooklyn, some time betw eon mid-
night and 4 o ’clock yesterday morning.
Two twenty- -pound stones stained with
blood were found about forty feet from
the body. The \‘i hole side of the head
was smashed in, and the bones of the
jaw and check on the other side were
fractured in a half a dozen places.
The condition of the ground showed
that the murderer had dragged the
body away from the spot where the
stones were found. Across the breast
he had placed the man’s coat, careful-
ly folded, while beside the head he had
laid the black derby hat.
The remarkable thing is that a mur—
der could have been committeed on a
frequented thoroughfare like Fulton
street, at a spot less than half a block
from a station of the Kings County
Elevated Railroad, without causing an
alarm. There can be no doubt that
there was a struggle. “The ground
showed that beyond question. It was
more or less torn up for several feet
around the spot where 1t is evident the
man was killed, and small stones which
cover the ground were. scattered about.
Over thirty detectives worked from 9
o’clock yesterday morning until long
after midnight this morning without
' getting a clue to the identity of the
murderer. They managed’ to trace some
of the movements of the dead man dur-
ing the night, but that was all. What
,will make it a harder mystery to solve
than any other one'tlnng is the very
cvidentfact that the murder was the
result of an altercation which arose bo—
tWee‘n the dead man and some one
whom he had met, but with whom he
had no previous acquaintance. It. is
known that Lyons was drunk during
the night, and the police think either
that he got into a. brawl with‘ some
strangerand that they went into the
lot to settle their differences, or that
he was lured into the lot and murdered
by some one under the impression that
her-had'money. The police favor the
theory of adrunken brawl because the
man’s coat was off.

THREE-111.0135“; LYNCI-TED. ‘3
Taken from a North Dakota Jail by
- Twenty-fiveEMusked Men.
Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 1‘5. —--A mob 01'
twenty-five masked men took the law
into their own hands at the county jail
at Williamsport, Emmons County
early yesterday morning. and, left the
bodies of three men, accused of murder
swaying in the breeze as a testimonial."
of the completeness of their revenge.
The men were Paul Holy Track
Philip Ireland and Alec Coudot. In-
dlans, who were under arrest for the
murder of six members of the Spice1
family at Winona, Emmons County
last Winter. They were roused from
slumber at 2 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, dragged from the jail to a huge
beef Windlass that stood- near the jail
and hanged to a bar that served to .-sus
pend the carcasses of slaughtered ani-
mals.
The lynching of the men was evident
ly carefully planned. Late Saturday
night a party of twenty- five men rode
from the surrounding country intt
Williamsport, tied their horses where
they could be easily and quickly 'se--'
cured, and made their way to the jail
'After the hanging of the Indians they
rode as hastily and quietly as they hate
come.
There was no noise, no disorder am
I everything was conducted with a firm-
ness and determination that bespoke
the earnest intent of the Iynchers. The
Indians were all residents of the Stand
ing Rock Indian Reserve. Two 01
them, Holy Track and‘ Ireland, were
mere boys, one 20 and the other 1'1
years of age. Coudot was a French and
Indian halfbrecd and leaves a. wife and
family.
FOUR BANKS GO UNDER.
'lndlunu Institutions Owned by
Weathers and Willett Close.
Indianapolis, Nov. 15.—T11ere is in
tense excitement at English and
throughout Crawford and Perry coun
ties over the collapse of four banks
which will affect nearly every man 01
.means in the two counties and serious
ly cripple the local officeholders, in-
cluding the county treasurers and
township trustees, all of whom depos-
ited trust funds with the broken banks
The crash came without warning, fo1
no one suspected that the four institu-
tions which have gone under were not
on a safe financial footing. As late a:
Friday afternoon each of the banks re
ceived deposits, and when they failed
to open their doors Saturday morning
there was consternation among the
business men, some of whom had .de
posited so closely Friday afternoon
that they did not have change to be
gin business with Saturday morning.
The banks were owned by J. H
Weathers and R. H. Willett. One had
been established at English, another at
Marengo, another at Cannellton. ano
a fourth at Leavenworth. The capita:
st'ock'of each was $50,000 and the de.
posits averaged about $75,000, being
heaviest at this: season of the year
when county taxes have all been paid
and the treasmcr has deposited the
money; The revenue‘ collected for
school purposes was all on deposit in
the banks, and it is now believed that
all of the public schools in the two
counties will have to be closed, as the
trustees have lost all their money.
Treasurer Brown. of Crawford Coun-
ty, had $13,500 on deposit. He is com-
pletely prostrated by the failure. The
trustees’ deposits ranged from $1, 600 tc
$2,800, and nine of them have been
caught in the four banks. President
Willett, of the Leavenworth Bank, ha:
not been at the office for several days
WORKING ON HIS MESSAGE.
The President Preparing Recom-
mendutions to Submit to Congress.
Washington, Nov. 15.—Preside11t Mc.
Kinley has at last begun the prepara-
tion of his annual message to Congress
For some weeks he has been getting
the material together, but now he is
ready to write, or, rather, to dictate
his opinions to a stenographer. Presi-
dent Cleveland, in preparing his mes-
sage, usually retired to a. quiet corner
and struggled through it with pen and
ink, but McKinley has become so ac
customed to using a rapid stenog
rapher that he will make light work 0!
this task. ‘
He will leave the questions of foreign
affairs to the very last that he may
incorporate the latest developments ir.
the document. He is now dealing wit]:
and is gleaming
his knowledge from'the reports that an
being submitted to him by the Cabinei
oflicers. While this is a little early £01
a President to begin to write his mes-
sage, McKinley recognizes that If he
delays a week or two longer members
of Congress will be coming in and de-
manding a great deal of his time.

Kill: a Man.
Philadelphia, Nov. 15.~—A Brazilian
anaconda tWertty-eight feet long made
its escape from a box in a. local dime
museum yesterday, and after nearly
killing a watchman, wrapped its coils
around a valuable ‘pony and crushed it
to death:
The performing horse and the snake
