In New. York state there are in round numbers 125: savinga “banks, and 25 of them are located in New York city. These 25 institutions have gross de- posits of no less than $615,000,000, and these are secured by $325,000,000 in real estate mortgages, $300,000,000 in bonds, $40,000,000 in cash, $10,000,000 in real estate and $10,- 000,000 in other available assets. A singu: lar thing about the savings banks ef New Ycrk state is the fact that there are a greater number of open savings accounts in them than there are registered voters in the commonwealth. The excess is some- thing over the prodigious number of 300,000. “Of late years,” continued Mr. Fultun, “a great.many young men have adopted ‘the plan of having their lives insured on the tontine plan in preference to putting their savings in a bank, but to my way of think- ing the open account is best, for its pos- session inspires pride, and its owner, i the is made of the proper stuff, will improve his business methods and practice wiser economy in order to see his balance grow. Life insurance is a splendid investinent for the rich, however, and I recently saw an authenticated Ist of the amounts eartied by some prominent eastern men. It em- braced Smith M. Weed at $200,000; ex-Sec- retary Whitney, $140,000; P. B. Armstrong ot Brooklyn, $225,000; Dr. T. De Witt Tal- Mage, $60,000, in addition to that carried on his life by Russell Sage to Insure payment of a loan on the Brooklyn Tabernacle; Matt Arnot of Elmira, $100,000; A. G. Yates of Buffalo, 008; John W. Lovell, the publisher, $160,000, and Herbert Pell, $215,- 000. As no single insurance company will risk more than $100,000 on any one life, the men carrying more than that amount have policies in several companies.

JAMES McCOSH DEAD}LATE SPORTING NEWS The Venerable Ex-President of Princeton College Succumbs. Sketch of the Distin; tor’s Career—How He Was Re- garded by Mis Students. ished Educa- Dr. James McCosh,ex-president of Prince- ton College, died at 10 o'clock last night at his residence in Princeton, N. J. He had been unconscious nearly all day and died in this condition. His family, intimate friends and physicians were gathered at his deathbed. The physician attributed hts death to heart failure, resulting from cld age. His wife Isabella and his son, Dr. Andrew J. McCosh, and his daughter, Mrs. Dr. Magie, and Mrs, Alexander Maitland were with him at his death. The doctor had been failing for some months and his demise had been expected for some time. How the While Dr. McCosh was more than well- known in the world of letters on both sides of the Atlantic, it was still among the men who studied under him that he was best dents Regarded Him. © loved and apreciated. Dr. MeCosh was a student and writer of whom the country may well be proud, but he was even more than that, an eminently lovable character. There are hundreds and hundreds of men in all parts of the world who count among their most precious possessions a strip of parchment, a diploma of graduation from Princeton, which bears the signature of Dr. MeCosh. To all of these the death of the president emeritus of their alma mater cemes as a personal loss. To all of these he was and always will be “Old Jimmy McCosh.” This nickname, or rather term of eudear- ment, carried with it not the slightest stts- picion of irreverence or disrespect. e himself was fond of the mame, for it show- ed to him that the boys who were under him were not afraid of him, and stood not im the least awe. Jimmy was one of the men who would rather far be loved then feared. He resigned at the end of the col- lege year 1887-'s8, and the class of "80 was the first to graduate under the regime of Dr. Prancis L. Patton. When, borne down by the weight of years and animated by the desire to de- vote the remainder of his life to complet- ing his work on an American philosophy of realism, he gave up the onerous pogi- tion of head of the university, he removed from the “president's house,” a handsome stone residence to the south of the cuth- pus proper, and since then had lived ina roomy, attractive home which he bufit a few years ago in the colonial style. It was a few hundred yards apart from the noise and bustle of the college grounds, but there was rarely a day passed that his familiar figure was not seen among the great elm trees that fill the campus and were such 2 joy to him. With his wealth of snow-white hair, the stooping shoul- ders of the man of boo! steps that came with age, he yet presented a splendid picture of a man, a picture that will linger always in the mind of every one of “Jimmy's boys.” Dr. MecCosh had a face of wonderful power and beauty. It was @ strong face and strongly marked, with a keen aqui- line nose and bright sparkling eyes. He never lost in the least the Scotch burr in his voice, and his manner of speaking was not like the manner of any one else. It was a voice that all his students Joved to imitate and always will. The stories that are told of him are legion, but they are kindly. Among other strongly marked phases of his character was a desire to take a personal interest in each and every one of the 700 or 4#) young men who were in his college. It was never Princeton to him, it was always “me college.” But with his failing eyesight and his increas- ing absentmindedness, the truth is that be probably did not know a single one of his students by sight when he met them. ‘Good morning, me led," he would say, nd how are ye? I knew ye. Un, -and what's your name If he met’ the’ game youth a few minutes later he would say the gam thing right over again, But it show- ed a kindly interest in the boys that they all apprecitted ard understood at its true worth. & Joke on the Doctor. On one occasion some years ago Dr. Mc- Cosh went through the seme formula, end- ing up with an inquiry as to the heatth of the boy's father. “I am sorry to say, doctor, that my father died when I was a child.” A few minvtes after, meeting the same boy, he propounded the same question, hut received a slightly different answer. “I am sorry, doctor, but my father 1s still dead,” said the boy, with all politeness and jostor sald nothing, but passed on, with a smile. He saw the fun of it, and realized that there was nothing more to say. But this interest in “me college and’ me: boys” went with him to the end, and es- peclally when there was any sickness among the boys was his kindlinesa seen at the best. Many is the sick room that was cheered by a visit from the goed doctor dr from Mrs. McCosh, or by @ little home cooking, or some delicacy that was par- ticularly appreciated at such a time., few years ago a complete and handsome little hospital was erected as an adjunct to the college, and it was the most natural thing In the world that this should bear the nam? of the beloved and devoted helpmeet of Princeton's great head. Where He Will Rest. On the edge of the qudint old town of Princeton lies the little cemetery whure Dr. McCosh will be Taid’ to rest after his long and busy life. It is not a large piece ef ground, but one part of it is given over to the dead of the collego, and here ie buried h men as Jonathan Edwards, John Witherspoon, a number of tha dis- tinguished family of the Alexanders, so prominently connected with the college and the theological seminary, and Dr. Me- Cosh’s predecessor, Dr. McLean. ‘It ts doubtful if so much of intellect and*braiis are buried in any place In this’ country within such a restricted patch ef ground.

Peffer, Parnie and Buckenberger, are aiready under the ban and will shortly be calied upon and asked why they should not be disbarred from all connection with base ball.

With the increased interest taken in military matters generally by the mem- bers of the Washington Light Infantry Corps a healthy revival of athletics is confidently anticipated the coming winter. At a recent meeting of the committee on athletics Capt. Alison Natlor was elected president and Sergt. John A, Heydler sec- retary-treasurer. Corp. Thos. W. Williams of company A, Private MeCabe of company ‘B and Corp P. J. Haltigan of company C complete the committee. Plans were formulated to advance the cause of athletics in the organization and to interest the members in the work and to point out benefits to be derived from systematic exercise. In point of excellence, the big gymnasium in the 15th street armory is second only to that of the Columbia Athiette Club, but heretofore members have been greatly handicapped by lack of proper heating factlittes and necessary baths. These de- fects, however, are now remedied. Shower baths have been introduced near the lock- er room, and the drill hall is to be comfort- ably warm on class nights—every Wednes- day and Saturday. Basket ball will again be taken up, and a new game, “Flying polo,” invented by a member of the corps, will occupy the at- tention of the base pall players during the indoor season. The south ot the armory will be devoted go these games; chandeliers and other obstructions have been removed, making what is probably the finest playing floor in the city. Mr. Harry Lee has been appointed in- structor, and Mr. W. H. Barghausen sussist- ant Instructor. Both are young gentlemen of ability in gymnastic work. Mr. Lee is a member of company D, an all-roun:l ath- lete, and has the advantage of years of experience under Profs, Crossley and Joyce. Mr. Barghausen is a clever performer on the bars. Classes will be formed during the coming week, and, if the armory is not rented tor a great length of time during the winter, athletics will not be far behind the present revival in military interest. Altogether, the prospects for a lively indoor season of athletics at the Infantry’s armory are very bright. ‘i The Bowling League. The bowling teams of the C. A. C. and the Czrrol! Institute met last evening ac- cording to the District Bowling League schedule. ‘The teams were: Carroll Instl- tute—C. Locraft, B. F. Locraft, Downey, Rice and Armstrong; Columbia Athletic Club—Mason, Ricker, Stone, Perry and Walker. Columbia won the first game, and the other team the second and third. The mext of the league games will be on Mon- day between the Washington Athletic Club and the Buena Vista Ciub, on the latter's alleys. ‘The basket ball team of the Carroll Insti- tute will go to Baltimore tonight for a match game with the team of the Young Men’s Christian Association of that city. Columbia Reserves Win. ‘The sezond team of the Columbia Athletic Club and the eleven representing the Cen- tral High School contested for the suprein- acy in a well-played foot ball game at the National Park yesterday afternoon. ‘The Columbias came on the field eager to redeem themselves from the sting of defeat administered earlier in the season at the hands of the High School boys, while the students were cheered on by their friends and supporters, who were out in force. ‘The Columbias had the heavier eleven and excelled also in team work. Whenever they had the ball they worked with an en- ergy and vim which was tvo much for the High School boys, and gains were made with a regularity’ that made the rooters chilly. However, the school boys stubbornly con- tested every inch of territory and several times forced the ball dangerously near Co- lumbia’s goal. Wilson of the High School team made some good runs around the end and Shuster and Exley each made gains. Darkness made it necessary to call the |* game with the score standing Columbia, 16; High Sehool, 0. Weisner of the C. A. C.'s had hig knee badly sprained during the sec- ond half, and was brought off the field. Parson was also injured just before the game was called. Jockey Griffin in Good Form. ‘The features of the racing at the St. Nsaph track were the dead heat between Bittle Billy and Old Dominion, and the fast half mile of High Point Belle in the first race, the filly running it in .48 1-2, pulling up. The dead heat was run off after the last race, Old Dominion winning by a neck, at 9 to 10, while his price in the dead heat was 5 to 1. Four favorites and two second cheices won, so the public had a rather good day. Little Griffin was in excellent shape, the youngster landing four of his six mounts first. The winners were: High Point Belle, 6 to 5; Old Dominton, 5 to 1; Ed Kearney, 1 to 4; Wernberg, 3 to 5; Oily Gamin, 5 to'2, and Marshall, 8 to 5. A Poor Duy tor the Talent, ‘A very large crowd attended the racing at the Alexander Island track yesterday, and as but two favorites won, the talent had a poor day of it. Starter Cassidy was not in the best of form, leaving two horses at the post and giving Cossack much the worst of the start in the third race. The starter’s assistant, “Minch,” punched Mike WHAT AILS YOU? If you have any considerable number of these ig ae you are suffering from ae iver, associated with eae, or Indigestion.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: As a member of the board of trade, who was prevent at the annual meeting held last Monday evening, the writer is of the opinion, judging from the press reports, that more or less misepprehenston exists as’ to the treatment accorded the civil ser- viee reform resolution by the board of trade. This resolution, heartily approving the proposed extension of the operations of the civil service law to the government of the District of Columbia, came before the board, it will be remembered, as kav- ing been unantmously adopted by the board of directors and recommended to the board of trade for indorsement. First, Dr. Fardon made a brief speech on the subject, which, unfortunately, has been construed by some in a sense very different from that in which he intended it. Indeed, afew moments later, he was on the point of offering an amendment indicative of his stand in favor of placing our local offices under the protection of the civil service law, when all further proceedings were summarily cut short by the ill-timed and ill-advised motion of Mr, Jesse B. Wilson to lay the subject on the table. Mr. Wil- son, it may be added, finds but little com- pany in his povition among the other bank presidents of the city, all of whom, with the exception of two, who could not be found at the time, have signed a petition in favor of the proposed essentially busi- nes’ system of conducting our municipal government. Dr. Fardon’s recent outspoken and satts- factory communication, printed a few days ago in your columns, makes it clear that he holds views of an advanced type in favor of better methods of managing our civil service. His published criticism of and objection to the- pending resolution was that it stopped short of expressing all that it should set forth. There now appears to be no cause for dispute between Dr. Far- don and those advocating the. approval by the board of trade of the principles of “more businesslike administration.” Let them join hands, add a strong recommenda- tion in favor of “home rule”—District men only for District offices—and 3 make other modifications in the direction of strengthening the resolutions, and then surely there, will be no difficulty in securing from the of trade proper considera- tion of the problem whose solution, so ad- mirably pointed out in the editorial columns of The Star a few evenings ago, means so much for the business and all other inter- ests "of the hational capital. The-action of the-board of trade Ikewise may not be well understood by those not present at the meeting. The occasion being the annual meeting of the board, tt was necessary under the by-laws to have read and to consider twenty or thirty committee reports, some very lengthy, to elect di- rectors by ballot, &c. There was, in short, a “flood” of business to be disposed of in the one evening. It is only fair to the board of trade to state this fact, giving rise, of course, to the strong presumption that the resolu- tion relative to the including of the Dis- trict offices under the classified service was laid on the table merely in order that tt might be intelligently and properly con- sidered at the mest. meeting. It would be WORKS BOTH WAYS. “It s remarkable how your trip abroad has im- proved you,”” “It is the use of the Carlsbad’ Waters that has improved me, more than my trip abroad.
