the preliminaries Then the real work began and reports of various committees were received The four days programme touches some of the chief discussions in which bankers are interested Secretary James R Branch of New York read his annual report It showed the association has increased nearly 300 since October 1 1S95 when 1511 memberships were reported combin- ed asset and deposits of the banks In membership show an increase of 849239 675 over the figures last year The president delivered his annual ad- dress in which he reviewed the new con- ditions confronting the bankers of the country and financial legislation in general Education of Bank Clerks Among the most interesting rcpcrts j made today was that of the Committee on j Education of which William C Cornwell is chairman The topic was The reed i of and desire for an education on the part j of the bank clerk and the report in part j never before there is required in every branch of business the most tlor j ough training scientific and technical for j the attainment of success under the competition that prevails In no business is this truer perhaps than in the business of banking in this country a country which is reaching out through its tremendous export increase for the busi j ness of the world There is abundant evidence that the young men who are doing the clerical work in banks in the United States are anxious to avail themselves of any and j all knowledge and training which will hdp them to do their work and intelligently Your committee is approached in here is a letter written to a loading j journal by a bank clerk It says in i part It is my endeavor to get an insight j into the many financial questions the mastery of which is so essential to a successful career My position is such that I am unable to take one of the courses that have been established in some of our universities but desire to take advantage of any opportunity with in my reach which wijl better fit me for my lifework Is the educational committee of the American Bankers Association doing any missionary work in this direction Would an application to the committee be productive of beneficial results Any information you can give me in regard to this matter will be greatly appre- ciated The Minneapolis bank clerks last year formed an association for study lec- tures and examinations It is today in successful operation The clerks de- cided not to wait for the American Bankers Association The Seabard Ka- tioTal Bank New York city has a re- markably effective course of study and examinations for its clerks in successful operation Petition for nil Institute The movement is progressing with to guide it This committee has al- ready reported the receipt of a petition signed by a large number tank clerks in two principal cities asking the committee to take up the matter of the formation of an institute There is no question that the forma- tion of a chain of Bank Clerks Associa- tions throughout the United States is per fectly feasible and that conducted on j proper lines it will do a vast amount ot j good that after the first year or so it can be made entirely selfsupporting and that j if it is not done by some such body as the American Bankers Association the worn Will go on as in Minneapolis spontaneous- ly but in spots and no such general and immediate good results can be accomplish- ed ns by complete organization To properly organise such an institu tion would necessitate the employment of H man of firstclass abilities who could devote his entire time to the work as sec- retary of Cie committee The work would be the preparation of a plan of study anti meetings for tha winter This would Da j gotten out in consultation with practical and educators The secretary would then start in to one at a time the Bank Clerks Association in ev- ery qty In a given city at a certain time and in coopration with the bank officers of that city a meeting of the clerks would bo called at whicn the committees secre- tary wpuld be present and the organiza- tion in that city perfected officers elected lans adopted The Plan Outlined The plan would include monthly meet- ings of the association of that city at ftch the varous subjects under study Wests be disci ssnd papers read debates carried on cr lectures delivered from time li loie by locf1 or outside talent At ths cur of the sa on in the spring cxainina be held and certificates of proficiency delivered to those members en- titled to them t The course cf study would be of the mest practical character connected with everyday transactions of banking business and for the first year would be essentially primary The course could end if so de- cided by a banquet tendered by the local bankers to the associated clerks Aside from every other consideration the fra- ternal feeling which would be fostered among the clerks and the esprit arid rte CELEBRATED People who ovejwork their stomachs won- der why they reel r 1 y Tone p the digestion

Forcibly Objects to Arbitrary rroceodliiss William W Danenhower proprietor of the Predoria had an experience yesterday which has caused iim to assert with much positiveness that his hostelry will discard gas for illuminating purposes even if he has to establish his own electric lighting plant Gas is now used in the hotel and j Mr Danenhower makes it a rule to pay j his bills weekly every Saturday Last Saturday was the day he intended to send the gas company the amount of his bill but it was in some way delayed and he did not mail the check till yesterday morning Soon afterward man appeared- at the Fredonla and said that he had come to shut off the gas because Mr Danen hower had not paid the bill Mr Danen hower informed the man that he had sent the company a check which if not received already would be in a short time The man insisted that he had his orders to shut off the gas and he expressed his in tention to carry them out The only place on the Fredonia premises where the gas can be cut off is underneath the sidewalk which is reached by an open- ing which when not in use is closed with an iron cover The gas man started to ward the place but Mr Danenhower got there first and planted himself on the iron cover at the same time inviting the vis itor to cut the gas iff if he could After a few verbal skirmishes it is said the op posing forces came to close quarters In formation as to exactly what followed is a trifle hazy but the result was enough Mr Danenhowers fist found a lodging place on the face of his opponent whom it Is said was for a time rather TCggy Finally the vanquished party away but in a short while a wagon hove in sight filled with friends of the defeated who were eager to avenge their comrades repulse by shutting off the gas at all hazards Mr Danenliower how ever was still disposed fo resist any such an attempt and another engagement seemed imminent when Sergeant Boyle and a policeman from the First precinct station appeared upon the scene and looked into the trouble Both men were taken to the station and there charged with disorderly conduct and both de posited collateral for their appearance in court Mr Danenhower was extremely wroth at the occurrence and said that he in tended to cease patronizing the light company if he had to establish a light- ing plant of his own in the Fredcnia He said that he had received a note from the gas light company acknowledging receipUof the check and apologizing for the trouble i Michael Lynch an employe of the Wash- ington Gaslight Company was in the Po lice Court this morning to answer a charge- of disorderly conduct He asked for a continuance which was granted by Judge Scott until Saturday Danenhower forfeited his collateral when his name was called to answer the charge against him

Pent as Fuel in Consul Hughes writes from Coburg to the State Department that the question of the scarcity of fuel in Russia has long oc- cupied the attention of scientists Coal is found only in small quantities while Wood is by no sufficiently abundant to warrant extensive consumption It is pro- posed to surmount the difficulty by turning the enormous of peat to an count In many districts the turf almost represents staple fuel Its calorific power is said to be double that of wood The turf is compressed into small bri- quettes and sent to the market It Is es- timated that the cost of manufacturing it for commercial purposes is about 584 per ton which at present compares very la- vprably with the price of coal An Early Morning Fire damrrjcil a vrpQiislied in the rear ot No C5T

TJyreiifprtli Com iimmleriiiCliieC of the Order session of the Fifteenth Annual Encampment of the Union Vete- ran Union took place this morning at half past 10 oclock in National Rifles Hall Prior to this the members of the local commands Hancock the Sedgewick and the Gracn Clay Smith assembled at the headquarters of the Division of the Potomac from where they proceeded to the Riggs House which is the national headquarters during the encampment The division was commanded by Gen A M Legg A reception took place at the Riggs House at which the citizens com- mittee and the national officers were the guests of honor After this the veterans marched to the National Rifles Hall where the first session of the encampment was called to order by General Legg and opened with prayer by Major S S Lincoln of San Francisco Commissioner Macfarland was intro duced as the first speaker and in his ad dress of welcome he said I offer you the welcome of the Captal of the Nation that you helped to save The hospitality of this city could not bs offered by its official head to the repre sentatives of the Union Veteran Uuion in a perfunctory manner The very name of your honored organization disin guishes it from the many others vhih have visited Washington during the year and guarantees you a welcome of pecu liar heartiness It reminds us of the greatest war of history of all its hero ism and sacrifices of its great re- sults It sneaks of the part that you and those you represent took in the great and successful struggle to pre- serve the Indissoluble union of inde- structible States Republics are not un grateful notwithstanding the proverb Our nation has shown its gratitude U its saviors in all the ways of national expression And now more than thirty years after the civil war clcscd in spite of all the great events that have hip pened nod are happening what you did is still fresh in the national memory and is still being gratefully acknowl- edged If any of you or those whom you represent has fElt at times that as an in dividual he was not receiving his due share of gratitude let him dsiniss that thought from his mind as unworthy and rest in the knowledge that ha disarves well of the Republic and that the Re- public appreciates that fact Here in Washington with a Union Veteran in the White Reese with war records and battleflass in the War Department with the great generals riding in lasting bronze while the United States Pension Office and United States Treasury dally register the financial obligation of the Union to the private soldier we could not if wcWOUld forget what was dane betweenlfiffl and 1865 It Is to see you in Washington Perhaps some of you have never been here since you came in uniform on your way to battlefields and the visit must have for you a significance that it can for no one else You see the great contrast between the lit- tle Washington of that day great only as the National Capital and the great of today a noble city in itself prac- tically coterminous with tho Federal Then it was doubtful whether it would continue to be Now its citizens are preparing to celebrate in December the centennial anniversary of the establish ment of the seat of Government in the Dis- trict of Columbia with the expectation that it will be the National Capital for centuries to come Then it was the ac- knowledged capital of half the countrv Now it is the beloved capital not only of the whole country but millions beyond the seas As you rejoice in the National Capital we rejoice in you For you are the repre- sentatives of the most remarkable array of men that ever stoci in battle No bat- ter soldiers ever fought and when the fighting was over no citizens ever labored for their counry After seeing the greatest army of soldiers ever assem- bled in historic times transformed without a jar into citizens again it seems absura without reference to politics to talk about the dangers of militarism in this country We have shown that WJB can fight at need as well as any men In the world but we also shown that we are not a militarj nation bent on foreign conquest to which we shall succumb We cannot seriously think of one of the veterans of our civil as a possible emperor any more than we can seriously think of the Republic as an Empire If there was the remotest danger of real imperialism the survivors of the boys of 61 who showed the world the citizen could become a soldier and then a citizen again with constant patrN otism winning the victories of peace as well as those of war would of themselves prevent it but outside of politics no sane man dreams of such a thing Your visit to the National Capital need not be troubled by any apprehensions that it will be transformed in to a seat of Em- pire What you preserved will be pre- served May you enjoy your sojourn here- with the satisfaction cf men who know that they have wrought well and that their shall not bs destroyed CommanderlnChief Dyrenforth in a

The four days programme touches someof the chief discussions in which bankersare interested

Secretary James R Branch of NewYork read his annual report It showedthe association has increased nearly 300

ditions confronting the bankers of thecountry and financial legislation in general

Education of Bank ClerksAmong the most interesting rcpcrts j

made today was that of the Committee on j

Education of which William C Cornwellis chairman The topic was The reed i

of and desire for an education on the part j

of the bank clerk and the report in partj

never before there is required inevery branch of business the most tlor j

ough training scientific and technical for j

the attainment of success under thecompetition that prevails In no

business is this truer perhaps than in thebusiness of banking in this country acountry which is reaching out through itstremendous export increase for the busi j

ness of the worldThere is abundant evidence that the

young men who are doing the clericalwork in banks in the United States areanxious to avail themselves of any and j

all knowledge and training which willhdp them to do their work and

intelligentlyYour committee is approached in

here is a letter written to a loading j

journal by a bank clerk It says in i

partIt is my endeavor to get an insight j

into the many financial questions themastery of which is so essential to asuccessful career My position is suchthat I am unable to take one of thecourses that have been established insome of our universities but desire totake advantage of any opportunity within my reach which wijl better fit me formy lifework

Is the educational committee of theAmerican Bankers Association doing anymissionary work in this directionWould an application to the committeebe productive of beneficial results Anyinformation you can give me in regardto this matter will be greatly appre-ciated

The Minneapolis bank clerks last yearformed an association for study lec-tures and examinations It is today insuccessful operation The clerks de-

cided not to wait for the AmericanBankers Association The Seabard Ka-tioTal Bank New York city has a re-markably effective course of study andexaminations for its clerks in successfuloperation

Petition for nil InstituteThe movement is progressing with

to guide it This committee has al-

ready reported the receipt of a petitionsigned by a large number tankclerks in two principal cities asking thecommittee to take up the matter of theformation of an institute

There is no question that the forma-tion of a chain of Bank Clerks Associa-tions throughout the United States is perfectly feasible and that conducted on j

proper lines it will do a vast amount ot j

good that after the first year or so it canbe made entirely selfsupporting and that j

if it is not done by some such body as theAmerican Bankers Association the wornWill go on as in Minneapolis spontaneous-ly but in spots and no such general andimmediate good results can be accomplish-ed ns by complete organization

To properly organise such an institution would necessitate the employment ofH man of firstclass abilities who coulddevote his entire time to the work as sec-retary of Cie committee The work wouldbe the preparation of a plan of study antimeetings for tha winter This would Da j

gotten out in consultation with practicaland educators The secretary

would then start in to one at atime the Bank Clerks Association in ev-ery qty In a given city at a certain timeand in coopration with the bank officersof that city a meeting of the clerks wouldbo called at whicn the committees secre-tary wpuld be present and the organiza-tion in that city perfected officers elected

The only place on the Fredonia premiseswhere the gas can be cut off is underneaththe sidewalk which is reached by an open-ing which when not in use is closed withan iron cover The gas man started toward the place but Mr Danenhower gotthere first and planted himself on the ironcover at the same time inviting the visitor to cut the gas iff if he could After afew verbal skirmishes it is said the opposing forces came to close quarters Information as to exactly what followed is atrifle hazy but the result wasenough Mr Danenhowers fist found alodging place on the face of his opponentwhom it Is said was for a time ratherTCggy Finally the vanquished partyaway but in a short while a wagon hovein sight filled with friends of the defeated

who were eager to avenge theircomrades repulse by shutting off the gasat all hazards Mr Danenliower however was still disposed fo resist any suchan attempt and another engagementseemed imminent when Sergeant Boyleand a policeman from the First precinctstation appeared upon the scene andlooked into the trouble Both men weretaken to the station and there chargedwith disorderly conduct and both deposited collateral for their appearance incourt

Mr Danenhower was extremely wrothat the occurrence and said that he intended to cease patronizing the lightcompany if he had to establish a light-ing plant of his own in the FredcniaHe said that he had received a note fromthe gas light company acknowledgingreceipUof the check and apologizing forthe trouble i

Michael Lynch an employe of the Wash-ington Gaslight Company was in the Police Court this morning to answer a charge-of disorderly conduct He asked for acontinuance which was granted by JudgeScott until Saturday

Annual National Encampment ofthe U V U

Commissioner ItraciCarliiiiiii IntroducesIoiltival References in His Aajtress to the Old Soldiers Reply1 y General TJyreiifprtli ComiimmleriiiCliieC of the Order

session of the FifteenthAnnual Encampment of the Union Vete-

ran Union took place this morning at halfpast 10 oclock in National Rifles HallPrior to this the members of the localcommands Hancock the Sedgewickand the Gracn Clay Smith assembled atthe headquarters of the Division of thePotomac from where they proceeded tothe Riggs House which is the nationalheadquarters during the encampment

The division was commanded by Gen AM Legg A reception took place at theRiggs House at which the citizens com-

mittee and the national officers were theguests of honor After this the veteransmarched to the National Rifles Hall wherethe first session of the encampment wascalled to order by General Legg andopened with prayer by Major S S Lincolnof San Francisco

Commissioner Macfarland was introduced as the first speaker and in his address of welcome he said

I offer you the welcome of the Captalof the Nation that you helped to saveThe hospitality of this city could not bsoffered by its official head to the representatives of the Union Veteran Uuionin a perfunctory manner The very nameof your honored organization disinguishes it from the many others vhihhave visited Washington during the yearand guarantees you a welcome of peculiar heartiness It reminds us of thegreatest war of history of all its heroism and sacrifices of its great re-

sults It sneaks of the part that youand those you represent took in thegreat and successful struggle to pre-serve the Indissoluble union of inde-structible States Republics are not ungrateful notwithstanding the proverbOur nation has shown its gratitude Uits saviors in all the ways of nationalexpression And now more than thirtyyears after the civil war clcscd in spiteof all the great events that have hippened nod are happening what you didis still fresh in the national memoryand is still being gratefully acknowl-edged If any of you or those whom yourepresent has fElt at times that as an individual he was not receiving his dueshare of gratitude let him dsiniss thatthought from his mind as unworthy andrest in the knowledge that ha disarveswell of the Republic and that the Re-public appreciates that fact Here inWashington with a Union Veteran inthe White Reese with war records andbattleflass in the War Department withthe great generals riding in lastingbronze while the United States PensionOffice and United States Treasury dallyregister the financial obligation of theUnion to the private soldier we couldnot if wcWOUld forget what was danebetweenlfiffl and 1865

It Is to see you in WashingtonPerhaps some of you have never been heresince you came in uniform on your way tobattlefields and the visit must have for youa significance that it can for no one elseYou see the great contrast between the lit-tle Washington of that day great only asthe National Capital and the great

of today a noble city in itself prac-tically coterminous with tho Federal

Then it was doubtful whether itwould continue to be Now its citizens arepreparing to celebrate in December thecentennial anniversary of the establishment of the seat of Government in the Dis-

trict of Columbia with the expectationthat it will be the National Capital forcenturies to come Then it was the ac-knowledged capital of half the countrvNow it is the beloved capital not only ofthe whole country but millions beyondthe seas

As you rejoice in the National Capitalwe rejoice in you For you are the repre-sentatives of the most remarkable arrayof men that ever stoci in battle No bat-ter soldiers ever fought and when thefighting was over no citizens everlabored for their counry After seeingthe greatest army of soldiers ever assem-bled in historic times transformed withouta jar into citizens again it seems absurawithout reference to politics to talk aboutthe dangers of militarism in this countryWe have shown that WJB can fight at needas well as any men In the world but we

also shown that we are not a militarjnation bent on foreign conquest to whichwe shall succumb We cannot seriouslythink of one of the veterans of our civil

as a possible emperor any more thanwe can seriously think of the Republic asan Empire If there was the remotestdanger of real imperialism the survivorsof the boys of 61 who showed the world

the citizen could become a soldier andthen a citizen again with constant patrNotism winning the victories of peace aswell as those of war would of themselvesprevent it but outside of politics no saneman dreams of such a thing
