q POS TAL SAVINGS BAN K-S. Po‘stmastehGenex-al Gary'Urges Their Ea ‘ tablishment—Wonld Develop flu-Ht. "Washington, Nov. lit—Postmaster— ‘ General;- Gary devotes a third of his ‘ first annual report to a presentation 01 his views upon the establishment oi postal savings-banks, which he strong- ly favors. '1‘ , "The establishment of a postal sav- ings system," he'says, "would tendin- evitably to the cultivation of thrift in a large class of people. Through its 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 sis"- :ess or old age overtakes them._ When they realize that their. savings maybe so utilized under the direction and care of their government that even small amounts will earn money forthem. 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- .I'essly. If but' a small percentage of the money/a young person expends unnec- essarily, in the many waysknown to all. could be saved and wisely invested, theme Would be a. competency at hand w}. on Old~age comes. "in my judgment, the establishmen .of postal savings depositories would fund to better citizenship. If the nasses of the people were thrifty ‘and saving in their habits, theylwould more I-‘ikely 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 concernedhit 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 surely 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 valueto 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 beneficcnt 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." W , i-* BRUTAL MURDER. . New York Printer’s Head Smashed in with Stones. 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- 'llue, Brooklyn, some time between mi_d- night and .4 o’clock yesterday morning. Two twenty-pound stones stained with blood were found about forty feet from the body. The whole side of the head was smashed in, and the bones of the jaw and cheek on the other side were fractured in a half Na 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 coathcareful— Iy folded, while beside the head he had laid the black derby hat. The remarkable thing is that a mur— der could have been committéed on a frequented thoroughfare like Fulton street, at a. spot less than half a block from a station of the Kings County Elevated Railroad, withoutcausing an Ne w alarm. Theregcan 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 It is evident the, man was killed, and small stones which cover the ground were scattered about. Over thirty detectives worked from 3 , 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 harderrmystery to solve than any other one thIng is the yer! evident fact that the..:murder was the result of an altercation which arose he- twoen the dead man and some one whom he had niet, but with whom he Had no previous acquaintance. .It is known "that Lyons was drunkdurin'g the night, and the police think either that he got into a brawl with some stranger and that they went into the lot to settle their differences,ror that he was lured into the lot: and murdered by some one under the impression that he had money. The police favor the theory of a drunken brawl because the man‘s coat was off. Steel Trade Condition in Harrisburg.

That.- was but natural, for people had been disap- pointed many times. But first. a man 1n Norwalk spoke, then a 'woman in South Norwalk, and soon from all over both places arose the chorus of praises for C. C. Ci, California Catrrrh Cure. And now» people buy and use it in per- fect confidence that it. will do what it claims; that it will cure every form, every trace of catarrh. Read What Mrs. I. F. Williamson, 24 Spring street, isouth Norwalk, says: "I got a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at Plaistecl‘s drug store, for my daughter Kittyavho has been troubled quite badly with "ca- tarrh, andshe finds that. it has helped 'her very much. My sister has also used the medicine with most satisfac- tory results and ‘joins me in saying that it. is a fine medicine.” Catarrh in its fully developed forms is a hideous disease, involving decay, filth and actual rottenneés, with most. offensive odors in the very seat of the organs of taste and smell; firmly fixed there, it begins to attack the membrane lining of the passages leading to the ~ lungs or the stomach; resulting either ‘ in consumption, or what is often called dyspepsia.~ It is really catarrh .of the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and various internal passages. California Catarrh Curewill cure all forms of catarrh, and will check even incipient consumption. All dealers; 50 cents, three times as much, $1. your colds with California Catarrh Cure, and prevent colds “hanging on.” HOW (-5.35 FlELD GOT CREDIT. By ‘nu lilukurnus Trick He '\Vas Trusted Ior a New Pair of Shoes. "’Cene Field made this old town hum when he was here,”‘said an old timer to a Denver Times man. “You never knew when he would play some practical joke on his friends. The story of his pranks with the stufied man, which he threw out of 3. Tribune window, has often been told, but the little jokes in his life are cherished in the memory of all who knew him. Of course, the pace made by Field, Skiff, Rothacker and the others was a. fast one, and each and all we‘re hopelessly in debt to every merchant in the city. One day Skiff said to Field:‘ ‘Gen'e, you’re looking pretty shabby from your boot'tops down. Why don’t you get a new pair of shoes? I’ll bet a. new hat you can’t buy a pair on credit in the town.’ . “‘ ’S that so?’ says"Gene. we’ll see,” and away he went. The crowd followed him and were looking in the windows of.’Alkire's ‘Well, ,while ’Gene was working his graft. He tried on one slice, and it seemed all right, and then the other, and then he arose to see how they looked. _In the old. days the store’s floors" 'were muddy—paved'streets were then only a dream—~and the crowd outside were surprised to see Field walk'about, stamping his feet in all the mud he could find. When they were thor- oughly dirty he walked to the door and said: “They’ll do, Alkire. Field— Tri- bune, and with that he joined the wait- ing gang. , - “Then he went to Clayton’s and got a new hat, which Skiff paid for.” Amateur Milling. A young man from Oregon, another from San Francisco and a third frOm Pittsburg met on the road, between Trinity Center and Coffee Creek. ' All had the gold fever, so bunched. their tools and supplies and went into camp in a canyon of the Coffee Creek-dis- trict. They built their camp—fire be- side.a big bowlder,‘ and, the heat cracked it open, exposing a. liberal sprinkling of gold. They immediately rushed off to Trinity Center, got their location blanks, and staked a claim on the spot. ' . That afternoon a couple of old mi- ners came along, and their eyes opened when they saw the richness of the They did not say much, but disappeared in the brush, and an hour later had. staked two claims half a mile up the side of the mountain. ‘ The .old prospectors had the richest ledge that has been found in Trinity in many a day, and the tenderfeet had the bowlder that had rolled down the hill from it.——St. Francisco Post. ____fl._.._..
