boon published by the State Hanking de
partment. It Is n coinjin-honslvo tabulated
Btatcmcnt , without explanation or comment ,
covering every detail of this branch of slate
llnanclal Institutions under the supervision
of the banking department. The rujrart Is
exceedingly valuable not only for the in
formation It furnishes , but also because It Is
the llrst issued tiy the state , and thus bo-
conies the b.isls of future calculations of the
growth of btilldinsf-lo.in societies. Mr. K.

and detail of the report.

The scventv-ono associations In the state
represent fully $ llt)0tK)0 ( ) ) employed in homo
building. During the year over $1,000,000
was saved anil deposited with them , cither
ns an investment or as the basis of presenter
or future loans. And this largo sum was
handled at a salary expense of $17,550.
Jtents , supplies , taxes and other necessaries
took $10,70' ) . Ten shares being the legal
limit of holdings in one name , an average of
seven may bo taken as a reasonable one. On
that basis the 45,013 shaves in force repre
sent the holdings of 0,430 nersons , n majority
of whom arc heads of families.
Ono feature of the report deserves special
notice. The columns "other expense ? " and
"other expenditures" are misleading a.nd
contradictory. The formoi has a total of
$10,709.40 , the latter $84,478.0 ; . . If both totals
represent the necessary expenses of man
agement they should bo combined j if not ,
tno heading of one or the other is mislead-
Ing. The great boast ofwell managed
building and loan associations is the low per
centage of operating expenses. It is unfair to
make a showing of excessive cost , as these
two columns indicate. Evidently the last
column represents Interest paid on with
drawals and the cancellation of matured
shares.
With little extra effort future annual ro-
jx > rts could bo inado to show clearly the
number of now nomes the state associations
have been instrumental In building. As
every borrower is required to state to what
use the money is to bo put , whether in a
new building , reconstruction , or taking up
an old debt , each association Is in position to
report on this point. The llcurcs would bo a
inoro effective object lesson than columns of
assertion.
A NowiAMorlutloii.
The Bankers Building and Loan associa
tion of Omaha Is ono of the strongest associ
ations over launched in Nebraska. Its roster
of Incorporators , officers and advisory board
contains the names of citizens eminent in
business and professional life , though they
have not hitherto been identified with build
ing-loan co-operation. The constitution and
by-laws have been approved by the State
Banking board , and the association is
already actively in the field In quest of busi
ness.
The matured value of shares in the
Bankers Is $100. Payments are 75 cents per
share per month , and are to continue until
the principal paid in with accrued prolits
reach $100. Thoonlcers are confident that
seventy-eight payments will mature a share ,
but this is mere enthusiasm which a few
years experience will rectify. Loans will
bo confined to Nebraska , though investors
will bo sought for in surrounding states.
It Is worthy of note that the Bankers departs
from several practices of doubtful utility. It
will not auction loans , nor is the premium
deducted from loans in advance. Interest
and premium arc 5 per cent each , payable
monthly. The equivalent of 10 per cent In
terest , less the profits , removes the assocla-
clatlon's business from the over present dan
cer of the illL-gallty of old methods , which
have not yet received the sanction of the
state supreme court.
In all respects the association's plan of
business , rules ami regulations are equitable
and commendable. The olllcers are : J. W.
Kodofor , president : .1. K. Buchanan , vice
president ; 11 11 Xlmmerman , secretary ;

The sixth annual statement of the Mutual
of North 1'latte covers the business of the
association up to the 1st of March. The
total receipts to date were J13'itW.3ri ; loans
outstanding , $111,200.11 ; total expenses ,
$1,007. During the fiscal year the receipts of
the association were $ JtOli , " > 3.17 , representing
about 2,00i ) sharus In llvo series. The asso
ciation Is popular , as is evidenced by the
bharo holdings , and its prosperity needs no
better proof than that there has been no
foreclosures. Since organization its money
brought an average of 30.3 percent premium.

of the way in which the fr.iud was consum

societies were not co-operative con ; erns such
as are hero known as bulldtiig soclotlcs.
They were in fact private banks , ennazod In
a business wholly foreign to that of building
societies as wo understand them.
The tendency among building nnd loan
people Is toward a more cqultablo division of
ITOllts between borrowing and Investing
mi-nibors. The system Is losing Its specula
tive features , and investors cannot expect
returns two or three limes ns great as could
bo secured in other conservative Investment
lints. The associations that promise from
IS to 22 per cent Income to Investors will bo
loukcd on in the future with distrust. The
universal tendency is toward lower rates of
Interest and premium , conservative invest
ments and a higher margin of security.
The Hamilton County league , which em
braces most of the Cincinnati locals , has at
last succeeded In establishing a bureau of
Information. H is a place where members
of the league may go to find what associa
tions have money on hand , nnd where one
association can borrow from another. In
the Hamilton County league arc about 100
associations , nnd it Is estimated that the
establishment of a bun ; in vill result In a
saving of $1,000 annually aside from expenses.

the youngster's father and mother. The
seimtor was sitting with them chatting
along in his best style , and the buy fre
quently Interrupted him. Finally the
mother put her hand on her son's
shoulder.
"Little hoys , " she said reprovingly ,
"aro to be seen , not heard. ' '
That quieted him for a time , but later
the mother had to tell him the same
thing again. IIo quieted down for half
an how longer and at the first break in
the senator's talk he looked inquiringly.
"What is it ? " asked the senator.
' I was wondering , " replied the kid ,
"if you was ever a little boy like me ,
how you outgrowed it so. "
The senator looked at the mother , the
mother looked at the senator , they botli
looked at the father and then everybody
laughed and the kid wtu given a chance.

The little girl was sorely troubled.

to her and she answered slcnyly :
"But , mumma , when we dits married ,

Ix > .Nim.v , ( March 'J7. [ Correspondence pf
Tun UKR. ] In order to appreciate one of the
oddest Kiitliorint , ' * of the oddest folks in one
of the oddest corners of Ixjiulon , one must
llrst knuw .something about those whoso
strntiKo lives nnd unique vocations ninko the
noted r jiulon "Poverty Junction" what It Is.
They are the "pros" or "prossers" or music
hall performers of the world's metro | > olis.
There from ! l,000 to Ji.OW of them , great and
unknown , men nnd women , and there are nu
other folk just llko them within the whole
world. They provide the "amusement" for
the seoro or more of great music halls , into
each of which inl htly erov/d from 'JKX ( ) to
5OtK , ) people , and for the hundreds upon hun
dreds of lesser affairs , ranging from the old-
time free-and-easy , from which the modern
music hall has sprung , to the "penny gaffs , "
where audiences of from 100 to 500 parsons
may be found.
Ue.sldes these , 1 would almost venture the
assertion , there are thousands of "pubs" or
public hiuszs , drinking places with assembly
rooms behind the b.ir , where free "smoking
concerts" attract a permanent nightly audi
ence of from a score to 100 workingmvn
and the foul rabble that subsist upon their
generosity and weakness.
! nd : ed , any ono who knows this great city
at all In that wandering , vagrant , observant
way which leads thought into grave conclu
sions , would have no Hesitancy in saying
that'J.10,000 human beings may bo found any
week-Jay night In these places "cheery" or
moro so , from liquor and from these sources
forming their odd ideas of international
contrasts ; gathering from vile-mouthed
performers' quips the news andscandals of
of the day ; increasing their contempt of
order and law from their endless satire and
ridicule ; gaining In general and particular
deeper hatred of Kngllsh society above
thiMunml ; hearing , often with their wives
and daughters beside them , the most sacred
relations of men and women never spoken
or sung of save as perennial playground
for cunning and infidelity ; until tno
heartiest laugh is in response to
the bro.idc.st entendre and the loudest
roar rises from these great seas of up
turned faces when the vilest music hall in
decencies are perpetrated.
Of all these places the "penny gaff , " or
outrageously ridiculous pantomime , or voice
less melodrama , or wordless tragedy , in
which there is indescribable murder , high
way robbery and other lurid crime , but till
enacted without spoKeti word to evade the
law governing dramatic representations , is
the least harmful , for it has no b.ir ; and to
get his "pennyHjrth" of play the While-
chapel barbarian m kepi for at least two
hours away from a public house.
The great London music hall Is simply a
larger and more , insidiously hurtful type of
the free "smoking concert" room. It is prac
tically a gigantic 'b.ir ' or series of tiers of
bars , surrounding air auditorium where the
thousands instead of scores can bo admitted ,
at a merely nominal piitnuico fee ; where u
stage with specialty performers supplant the
platform , the pianist land the volunteer , and
where the same 6lftsscs , or more vicious
ones , with " 'Arrys nnd "Arryiets" of London
1111 the pit , while every manner of cad , fast
fellow of the gentry and nobility , including
a good sprinkling qf pie London Uohemiau ,
s.umter in the promenades and till the boxes
and stalls.
About twenty different acts called ' -turns"
are done by as ninny different performers m
ono evening , and each actor will have from
one to four "turns" for the same evening ,
each at different halls , to wnich ho speeds in
every sort of conveyance , from a coster's
donkey cart to a brougham. Programs are
furnished , on payment , nnd hugo'iiumcrals.
sUd into the proscenium sides , correspond
with program numbers.
These shows , with a few exceptions in
favor of individual performers , are utterly
pointless , mirthless , inane and beastly.
There are perhaps in nil this host of London
music hull "actors" a half-do/.en who have
demonstrated that true art may lind reward
even in so hopeless a field. Such are George
Bcauchamp , comedian ; Jenny Hill , im
personator of the coster girl , "the ludging
'ouse missus1 and female characters ot that
ilk ; and Albert Chevalier , whoso studies and
representations of the London costermonger
should give him rank as a really great actor
and a man of positive genius.
Tint between all these odd folk nnd the
London actors of the dramatic stage there is
endless emulation mingled with tantalising
attempts at "freedery" and airiness on the
one side and a fadeless dread and contempt
on the other. The " " " "
"pros , or "prosser" as
he is everywhere known in London , is in
nearly every instance a product of the lowest
London life. As n rule , ho was originally a
costermonger. stable boy , "boots , " starve
ling from the traveling booth shows , Uil-
lingsgate crate carrier , or from somewhere
out of the Kast End slums.
If he be of ns good quality as from the
humblest laboring classas ho still , as well as
all ether music hall performers , graduates
into his profession through ono unvarying
school of low nnd often vile training from
the " gaff , " from the "
"Denny or "smoking eon-
cert" den where ho has , as "volunteer , " sung ,
danced , contorted or slugged for the free
entertainment of the gutter hosts of Lyndon.
Many of these favorites command salaries of
from C-)0 to AllOJ per wo3k. Hut about all of
them reach their affluence , and often re
spectability , out of the same original depths ,
and along the yimo vk'isskous road.
The only time when dramatic actor au.l
"pros" over meet is at the annual Christinas
iiluys and pantomimes. Then the "pros" is
in demur. ! at the theaters to do specialties.
The lofty scorn and the airy defiance between
actor and "pros" are then something wonder
ful to behold.
"What's that ! " is the contemptuous
query of ono actor to another , us a
"pros" is espied in tlo : stage wingj at
Christinas time , waiting to do his "turn" as
his act or snecialty Is called.
"Oh , Its only a thing from the 'alls ( the
music halls ) , " his companion will as witner-
Ingly answer.
"Dor bli mo ! " retorts the "pros" with an
airy snort at his persfcutor , "hit irauift bo
bits on the sta-igc ; they wouldn't'ave sech
blooniin' hnhjocts in the 'alls ! "
In America there is considerable friendly
commingling of actors and variety pur-
formers. This makes possible the "JUultos"
of our large cities , which arc really noted as
haunts of all manner of stngo folk , and which
are the resort , at certain hours of every day.
of all theatrical people. The casual passer
lingers curiously within the region. Even
one least accustomed to striking city phases
is instantly Impressed with the unusual
character of the neighborhood and with the
manner and dress of its frequenters.
lint between Ixmiloii actors and London
music hall pcriormcrs the gulf is linpnssablo.
The tendon actor is a gentleman bred and
born. Ho has been given the best of homo
nnd school , often of university , training. He
is u student ; frequently a traveler. His
culture has been persistent , sequential and
unavoidable. And his excellent social status
keeps him permanently In touch with the
best rather than the undesirable elements.
The "pros , " being the proJuct of an en
tirely different sot of conditions nnd environ
ment , is necessarily the endlessly impinging
clement. He is believed by die gentleman
actor and gentleman vocalist to bu over on
the alert to reach Ills station ; push into his
place ; secure his honor and emoluments ,
just as .the bootblack , butcher boys and
newsboys of great cities , with special gifts
and dauntless energy , surpass trained busi
ness men , and nt last , with prestige and
wealth , force the barred doors of aristo
cratic society. Therefore the London actor
scorns the lx > mlon "pros" as ho would a
tramp. Not only will ho have none of him
us n companion , but ho will drink no liquor ,
eat no food , transact no business and fre
quent no haunt or thoroughfare where the
latter Is permitted to come.
Those obseavations have marked illustra
tion in the cUwu line drawn in the daily
haunts of flio two classes. The actors
chiefly retire behind the inviolable protec
tion of their clubs like the Garrlck , the
Itoom , Stivnpc , Arnnrlcl T.yrlo nnd
Hi-of.ito.irt clubs and their it > * y milmrban
homes , of which they nro Inordinately fond
and proud. Hhould they occasionally stroll
from ono city n'Aurt to another , thuv
would i ) ( , found nt noted places
like thc < \Vellni'ton : , Darmstnlter's and
Perhaps Itomaturs [ mil Haul's , known In
loc.il Variance as "La ClorKoiizuIn ; " but
would retire permanently from the "profcs-
slon" before thcv would be si-on * at Miss
Harnos' , a former barmaid of the Criterion
bar , or nt thu Ualety bar , which Is chrlstj
enedProssprs * avenue "
So , for ninny years , Indeed for n greater
part of the present century , these ostracl/ed
music hall ( urformers have gradually merged
their busiiu'ss nnd social interests in ono
lawatut tnturosllng resort , known by the
atrical peopkt throughout the world ns
"I.iondon Poverty Junction. " No one knows
how long It has been -Poverty Junction. "
This It now Is and will over remain. It is
outside the old city borough , and the actors
are glad of It. If you were wandering In the
Strand and came to a region , along by Wat
erloo Irhlgo ! approach , of old lirtok stores ,
your haunting of these would lead you al
most to the bridge Itself. Then the Thames
and Its picturesque scenes would bring you
upon the great structure ; and your vagrant
fancy , plavlng about thu sunny lavender
Holds of Surrey and the hop llclds of fruitful
Kent , would lead you southward to
the Surrey side of Umdon. Should
It happen to be of a Monday morning ,
about 11 o'clock , you would have scarcely
passed the Surrey approach to the bridge
when , at the corner of York and Waterloo
roads -each a great city street -you will
have come upon as curious a scene and study
as may bo found by travel In any land.
In olden times this was a region of resort
lor the ruddv farmers of Surrey and Kent ;
of yards where wagons , carts and divers
belongings of the farm were picturesquely
bestowed before , during or after , Covent
Ciardcn market hours ; of rough shops which
dealt in goods to the lilting of the yeomanry ,
ami of quaint old Inns and public houses ,
were all the long day and throughout the
night where thu bustle and clatter of incom
ing and departing coaches , and whore still
lingers a perennial flavor of brave drinking ,
hearty eating and rough but unctuous good
cheer.
Hut one of these ancient inns remain.
This is the York tavern. While prim , now
public houses have crowded close , seeking to
lesson its prestige and divert Its patronage ,
It is still , ns of old , the center of all the busy
scene. At noth sides of each Intersecting
street , and rc.iching for moro than a square
away , nreslngle nnd double rowsnf hansoms ,
dogcartsi and broughams. Most o'f thu
latter have liveried coachmen and footmen.
They are the equipages of rich music hall
mttmiguis , bejeweled and foxy "theatrical"
agents who control the booking of nil music
hull and variety engagements , and of those
favorites among performers , like Chorwin ,
Lcno , ( iodfroy , Colburn. Henuchnmp , Cheva
lier , Bessie Honehill and Jcnnio Hill , whoso
specialties nnd popularity command earnings
of from 40 to 150 ner week.
lictween these and the street facades , and
quite often extending Into the middle of
York and Waterloo roads will bo gathered
on any pleasant Monday morning from 1,000
to il.lXKli music hull and variety "prossers. "
A special detail of police Is always required
to to other pedes
keep passago-wn\s open
trians. Of all this strange medley of folk
perhaps not more than one-half will belong
in London. Among the remainder will bo
found every manner of variety performer
and "eccentric specialist" from every land
beneath the sun.
Hundreds of variety performers , good and
bad. from America are hero. Cowboy and
pugilistic "actors'1 are here. Provincial
talent , down at the heels but chipper , cheery
and hopeful , Is hero seeking engagement.
The Strong Man of Patagonia me.uulers
past you , arm In arm with the Uoneless Con
tortionist. Hindoo Jugglers are engaged In
raillery with the gentle ICskima Dwarf who
recently sadly hoodooed the American relig
ious world. Algerian , Egyptian and Persian
snake-charmers , sword-swallowors , lire-
eaters and barefoot glass-breakers consort
with Cuban machete-throwers , wild western
female dead shots , Devon rccord-brcaKing
Jumpers , ( ireek wrestlers and American
irenuino negro minstrels. The renowned
Slgnorina Splittavoce. Sp.ighctta Siren to
the Italian court , the Climax Cloggists , the
Nell Nellwoods , Delicious Delineators of
Ducal Dialogues , the Slug Brothers , the
Salacious Sisters , the King Knockabouts ,
the Miles. Paddlshankl , Queens of Aspiring
Heels , are all here , along with all the un-
nanip.iblo ' human warious" of superlatively
megatherian freaks , who scale thu dizzy
heights of fame in the bewildering border
land of the vast amusement world.
Ail those of fhe motley throng having real
business at this weekly Poverty Junction as
semblage , are hero for the purpose of either
securing now engagements or for paying the
"dramatic" agents their stipulated regular
weekly commissions on current engagements.
These agents , some forty In number , occupy
all accessible ground apartments or fully half
a square on either angle of each of the
four corners of York and Waterloo
roads , No " " dare
"prossor" secure an engag &
iiiL-nt , and no manager dare engage a "pros
ser , " without the booking is done by them.
'I hey llrst charge a largo booking fee , nnd
subsequently receive 10 per cent of every
performer's contract money , which is sent
weekly , by mail , or paid in person every
Monday morning. They are held in deadly
hatred , and treated with pitiable servility ,
by all music hall folk. London , provincial
and all foreign music hall and variety man
agers come hero in person to secure their
over varying attractions. A halo of awe
surrounds them as they puss from ono
agency to another , but Hillingsgato porters
could not equal the lively remarks upon
their persons and character that mingle with
sturdy calls for "bitter" and "four ale , " the
moment they have disappeared from view.
Secondarily , those here on necessary busi
ness take kindly to this form of Poverty
Junction weekly reunion or symposium.
They are thus enabled lo exchange gossip
nnd greetings , cotter oaths and choice ilil-
llngsgnte ; and to keep informed as to the
movements ot rivals and city , provincial or
foreign managers. All the others comprise a
great horde of unemployed unrellablcs who ,
in Poverty Junction vernacular , are hero to
"wait for captains. " that is , drink and any
manner of pickings ; a vaster horde of bud
ding "prossers , " endearingly called "Tommy
Uots , " and a still greater and moro pitiable
number of broken down and utterly helpless
eld-time favorites who , and blessed be the
tender humanity of the "prossor" at large !
hero sccuro in ungrudgcd alms every penny
on earth that keeps them from the work
house or a pauper grave.
The business and social conversation of a
Poverty Junction symposium is the most
graceless that over fell from the tongue of
mortal men and women. The latter are hero
In equal numbers with the men. Both drink
on equal footing at the York tavern's first ,
second and third class apartments. All are
relieved by their lurid denunciations of star
favorites , managers and agents. They are
n kindly-hearted lot , but their language Is
simply untellablo. This , of companion
pressers loaivng an agent's ofllco , is as
chaste as lilies by comparison :
"Ah , cull , H'i'vo made a shop ( contract )
in the country , an'four turns ( nightly en
gagements at dillcrent music halls ) to open

Ho probably was to receive - . " > per week
for his provincial engagement , and perhaps
XS altogether for his London "turns. "
" \\"y dldn' yo get yer wife on for a small

panion.
"W'at's the bloody use ? Tn' cow aint got

With a "Cor ! bll mo , < > ! ' chap , we'll 'avo a

waiter , they drown their professional priJe
In York tavern four nlo , when the lucky
presser is off with all haste to the registry
ofllco togot his precious contract stamped ,
lest the "bloomin' h'agent tries to throw 'iiu
down. "
The symposium Is nt its height of con
fusion and "cheerinoss" by 1 o'clock : but. an
hour later , save for the bravo managurs and
foxy agents still lingering over their wimin
the rooms of the York tavm'ii. and a half
score of the Godforsaken riffraff , llngcrln-x
for a possible h'apenny from some bolatfd
reveler , all the region ronndab > ut this Im-
