Sixty Homes ntul $ nOOOO nistrllmlcd In n Single Ony Unilor One llnsl * ncmlloor A Tenant AVIio I'nlil for Ills Landlord's 1'ropcrty. Thn Philadelphia correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says that tlicro arc 1,600 building societies In Pennsylva- iiia , and COO of them arc In Philadelphia. Of the GOO.nt least COO are in uctivo opera tions the others are being closed up. The first of those societies was organised in ti suburb Frankfort in 1831. To-day the ownership of 60,000 homes is the practical result in Philadelphia. Fifty thousand householders In this city payne no rent because of thcso societies. A visit is suggested to tlio city of homes , nml a study of the practical operations of the plan. Where can n better beginning 1)0 ) nmilo than Catnong the no\vsnup'r men ? Tlicro are more provident workers than those who win bread between the mansard and the basement of the print ing hotiso. There may bo some who are less provident than thcso. At any rate , an id < m which has put his own roof-lrco over the head of the edltor.of the reporter , of the compositor and of the pressman may bo said to have stood a pretty good tust. SIXTY1 HOJtr.S AND ? l)9,000. ) And what docs the inquiry show ? Jlio unanimous opinion of the newspaper men of Philadelphia is that the building pocioly is n good thing. Two out of over y three men employed in various capacities about the printing houses speak from actual experience as shareholders in thcso organizations. The employes P * the Public Ledger have had two of th > c societies limited in membership to tnat oillco. Ono was Public Ledger No. 1 , the other Public Ledger No. 3. Uoth were worked out to a successful conclusion in about ulovon years. Those who put in § 1150 lit the rat of a dollar a month drew out $200 in cash. Those who borrowed on their shares paid C per cent for the money and received their mortgages can celed at the expiration of the eleven Veara. When the shares matured , that is became worth $200 each , the Ledger No. 1 was wound up and whole business was closed out in twenty-four hours. Sixty men of this society received back canceled mortgages and held their homes clear. Sixty others who had made their monthly deposits and had not borrowed on their shares received in bank bills some $00,000 , in sums varying with the number of shares they had carried. The man who had put up n dollar a month received I' OO , and the man who had put in ? 10 u month received $2,000. To-day every married man on what is known as the editorial lloor , where are located the editorial , financial and com mercial departments of the paper , owns tin ) house he lives in. Six of the local ( tail * own their homes. Not one-third of the compositors and pressmen and other employes of the paper pay rent. JOllNUWlJ.UAJt , ItliTllCKIl GAlinir.K. Hut the most notable case is that of John Gwillhun , who writes himself down "retired earner of the Ledger. " lie had a route and was delivering ledgers when ho went into his first building society , and ho was one of the pioneers in the co operative movement. Gwilham's faith extended beyond the experiment of half a dozen shares taken anil carried through to maturity. As fast as ho saved , his money wont into building societies. \Vhcncvcr , in his tramps over his route , lie saw ! i house which was real clicap , lie bouglil , borrowing the money from ono of his building societies , giving a mort gage on the property , and making the rent olVsct as nearly as possible the dues and interest to the building society. Sometimes Gwilliam made so good a bargain that the rent more than paid the dues and interest- . Sometimes the rent fell : i little r.hort of the dues and interest and Gwilliam had to go into his pocket for the small difference monthly , lint just assure as maturity came round , in from eight to eleven years , John Gwilliam gathered in the property , sometimes wholly paid for by the rent , sometimes at a cost to himself of a fourtti or a liftli of the wliolo value. Ho carried the Ledger year after year and ho bought houses persistently , but shrewdly. The time came a few years ago when Gwil liam stopped delivering the paper anil now ho is tlio "retired carried , " witii itOO,000 , in real estate , all acquired through the building societies and his native shrewdness. Of course such a man would have made some headway in tlio world if there had been no building locioties , but he would never have been Where ho is. ADUISON u. nrnic. Newspaper men of Philadelphia quite generally look to Addison 15. llnrk , of the Public Ledger , as the ono among them best qualified to give information about building societies. Mr. Bnrk has made iv Study of the philosophy of the plan. Ho bus hud practical experience In various . societies. Ho is to-day thu vice-president of tlio Pennsylvania league of building societies , a combination managed upon purely business principles , but one upon which the Keystone legislators look with great respect. "Nearly all tlio newspaper men of Philadelphia have been in these socie ties , " Air. Hurk said in reply to an in- imiry , and I suppose that two-thirds of them are now shareholders. When I bought my llrst house 1 was getting $20 week. The price of the place was $ ; i,400. 1 bought it on $25 cash und my faith in thn building societies.11 The editor smiled at the recollection of his onrly zeal , and went on to say : "To buy that house I undertook to run twen ty-live shares , which made my dues and interc'St to tlio society $00 a month. Of course 1 got possession of the house anil hail the saving on rent to help meout. * What made the venture worse for me , 1 bought when times were Hush and prices high. A few weeks afloi my investment Jay Cooke failed and everything turn- blud. 1 should have probably have failed in trying to carry so much if I hadn't bettered my condition lluancially soon af terward. " "You believe in tlio societies and their futureV" "Oh , ycsJITho central idea is that u man who goes in is compelled to save. Of course it depends on the character of the man how important this idea is to him. Some are so constituted they will pave anyway , Hut the most of us need a prod to make us lay by , and that incon- t vo this plan supplies. Then tlioro is more profit in this method of saving than in any other. Most of these societies pay u profit of at least 7 per cent. I don't know any that divide less than 5 per cent. Our havings banks have now dropped to 3 per cent on deposits. When first started thcso societies were generally fio-nporntlve associations , to enable JvoiTdngmen to own their own homes. J'hoy were so prosperous that they at tracted capitalists , who wont into them because of the big returns and the safe character of the investments. Our so cieties now make loss percentages of pro fit than In former years , but they are equally as .safe. I Know of no reason why they will not cpotinuo hi popular ity. " "Now , Mr. Hurk. begin at the begin ning , please , and show the development of this idea of building societies , Make it a first lesson so easy that ovr.ry reader will j ; 't the hang of it ut once. " " \ \ nil. " . Well,1 o editor , fiooduatureJlj "in the first place thr o tire not building societies. They don't build ntnll. The tinmo Is a misnomer. They nro co-opcr- ntive savincs nnd lonn nssoehitlons. That would bo the correct title for thorn. " FIKST 1'IHNTIW.ia. "Now , " continued Mr. Hurk , "Iho sys tem in the simpler forms may bo ni.itlo plftin In this way. One hundred men , each able to snvo ? 1 a month , fierce , in order to strengthen each other in their purpose to save , to put their money to- uothur at lixcit periods and lock it up in n strong box until each shall have accu mulated $ ' . ' 00. It is easy cnonchtosco that if each man is prompt in his pay ments the strong box will be ready to bo opened for a division of savings tit the end of 200 months. If each monthly payment - ment stands for a share of Mock , then cnch share will bo worth ? 'JOO at the cud of i-'OO months. "Hut wo will suppose. " Mr. Imrk went on , "that as soon us this nijreoment has been entered into by which the 100 men come together monthly and put a dollar each into n common fund , one of the members sitgijesls that instead of allow ing the money to lie Idle In the box they had better put it out at interest as they gather it each month , putting the secur ities for its return into the box and the intcrestalso asfast as earned. At a glance the other members see that by acting on thin suggestion they will accumulate the Sv'OO ' on eachsharo ! u less than 200 mouths , perhaps in IbO months , when they will will have paid only -180 each. Tlio sug gestion is adopted and now wo have u purely co-oporativo savings fund with only ono distinguishing feature , and that one of great value tlio savings are com pulsory , anil made at staled period ? . The member does not lay aside in this fund his spare cash as humor to save prompt * him , but enters into an obligation to pay so much per month. INTOW , you have m this fcohcmo as thus far developed , the essential features of our so-called mis named building and loan associations. The other branches of business in which they engagn , although they giro char acter and name to the societies , nro really incidental to the accomplLshmont of the ono grand purpose , that of saving uoney by co-operation and by compulsory mvment into the treasury. " "Your philosophy is all nghtMr. Btirlc. Sow let us sec you develop your ideal society. " EVOLUTION OP TIIH VI.AJT. Tlio editor smiled and proceeded : "Tho first problem that presents itself to the director is , how to use the money col lected the first month. The purpose of the society will bo destroyed if it is not safely invested. Shall it bo put in gov ernment bonds at a low rate of interest , or invested in bond and mortgage , with real cstato security at a Ingh rate ? If the latter course is adopted , to whom shall it bo loaned ? John Smith , who is not n member of the sooietv. desires to borrow , but so also does I'etor lirown , who is a member. If the society lends to Peter Urown , it will have security additional to that represented by his bond nnd mort gage in his stock growing in value month by month. To get this additional security for all the mon y it lends , and at the same time secure a higher rate of in terest for its money than could be ob tained from government bonds , the so ciety determines to lentl only to its mem bers. Now it appears that other mem bers besides Peter lirown want to borrow the first month's collections. How shall it bo decided between thorn ? Obviously , the fairest plan is to let them bid one against the other , and lend it to the man who is willing to civo the liinhost prem ium over and above the fixed or legal rate of interest. This course is adopted , nnd the society finds itself in possession of two sources of profit , interests on loans to its own members und premiums for the iirior use of money collected. It is manifest now that instead of requiriiig 200 or ISO months in which to accumulate in tlio strong box enough money aid se curities to divide $ ' , ' 00 per share , it will only take say 100 mouths. " "Good ! Your ideal is beginning to de velop certainly. " " course-of time " Jlr. Burk "In the - , re sumed , "some one of the members fails to pay his installment. If this is permitted it is manifest that the member withhold ing his deposit nnd depriving the society of its use will in the end have an Ml- vantage over his follow members. To check this a line is imposed when install ments are delayed , so the line may servo as a penally as well as reimburse the so ciety for the loss of the use ot the money. Another member finds that ho cannot keep up his payments , or ho desires to move to mioincr part of the country. To accommodate him , the society agrees to unlock its.strong box belore the appointed time , give him what ho ha.s put in , with some portion oi tlio profit already ac cumulated , nnd cancel his stock. Now it is seen that there are , besides savins money and getting interest upon it , three sources of prolit , namely : Premiums arising from competition 1'or the Jeans , penalties for non-payment of dues , and n portion of the profits withheld from members who fnil to remain in the asso ciation and whoso stock is canceled. And so wo develop the features of a Philadelphia building society. " "And what is the outcome * " THE UAV OK SKTTI.KMEKT. "At last , somewhere between the tenth nnd tlio eleventh years , when from $120 to $130 have been paid in on each share , the strong box is found to contain securi ties or monev suuicient to divide to all the shares , tlio borrowers and the non borrowers , ifiOO each. The time hns como for llio society to bo 'wound up,1 techni cally speaking. Each holder of un tin. borrowed or free share gets $200 in cash- Kacli borrower is entitled to ? 200 , but ho owes $200 , for which the society hold hjs bond nnd mortgage , so the account is squared by the cancellation of the mort gage. " "That looks like a pretty fair per cent for the non-borrower ? " "Tho investor or non-borrower has made 10 or 12 per cent on his money. Ho has paid iu ? 120 to $130 and received $200. " "But what about the borrowers ? " "He has paid perhaps 8 or ID per cont. for the use of his moiioy , when the nomi nal market price is only 0 per cont. But If a fair comparison is made between loaus obtained in the open market and loans from building societies the dill'or- once will be found to bo more apparent than real. Agents for capitalists gener ally demand a bonus for pelting a loan. The loan it.solf is generally not granted for moro than three years , and , if the market warrants it , a fresh bonus will bo demanded for a continuance of the leaner or the borrower will bo compelled to go again to the market to pay the firs lender , and will have fresh conveyancer * fees to pny. This may occur twlcn in the lifetime ot a building society loan , am when the accounts of the two loans are compared the dill'orencois vcrylrcquontly In fnvor ot the society loan as a matter o dollars and cents , andlahvnys in its favor when thu convenience of getting tin money , of paying the interest nnd dues In monthly installments and the freedom from worriment about a possible fore closure are taken into consideration- " TUB MOltAI. ADOIINCU. Then Mr. Bttrk , to illustrate the ad vantages of borrowing from a building society , told of un actual case within Ins own observation , A little house , whicl rented for $12.50 n month , was put up foi sale. The occupant , who liked the plnco well cnouuh to IIKIKO it his homo , was urged to buy it through a building society loan , Ho knew just enough o finances , as the editor put it , "to bo ii tlio provurblnl condition of a man will little learning. " He would not bo sue ! a tool us lo borrow money nt a premium nnd ho denounced the societies and their system. The friend , seeing that there was a good investment in the property bought it. The purchase money wu borrowed from a building society. The sumo tenant .continued to occupy tin house nnd paid his $13.59 a mouth rout to ho now landlord , his friend. The latter urned the rent toward the dues and in- crest for tlio building society. It had urned out that thn entire outlay for in- erest , dues , ground rent , taxes nnd vnter rent has amounted to $16.50 ft uouth , Thus , by the payment of fl a month out of his own pocket to the ociely until tlio aggregate reached about $ T 00 , the friendly adviser of the keptical tenant has become the owner of a property worth $1,500. The same nun vno refused with scorn the opportunity , o buy , leu yoatu ace , has really con- ribtiicd , throtigli his rent , over one-half of the purchase money which now gives us friend the property clenr. A WONDEHFULTREE. I ilomnrkaWc Properties of liteVtiotra - Han Kiicnlypttis. Atnerienn Analyst : Some years ago , .vlipii . a mail steamship line was estab- ished between San craticisco and the \u.slralian islands , enterprising persons sought to transfer some of llio wild prod- lets of the latter region to California soil. One thing attracted the attention of the idmirers of nature , and that was the juealyptus tree , which formed IK ) per ; ent of the forest vegetation of Australia. This tree grows very rapidly in that country , with n straight stem rcnt'hliig commonly 250 feet in height , nnd having n circumference of seventy feet at the > asc. It was believed that as this tree produced a great mass of leaves it could jo utilized for shade as well us or namentation , if the soil of the 1'acilic slates should bo found suitable lo Is growth. The experiment was .ried , nnd slips of the Australian forest giant transferred to California , where they soon took root and thrived in .lie prolific soil of the Golden stale. The tree was found to furnish honey to boos , uid in this way alone llio foreigner was 'otind to bo a valuable addition lo llio lonoy-giving products of that now ex tensive honey-producing state. It was ascertained that the eucalypti ! ? rrlobnlus , or blue gum , could bo further utili/.ed as n remedy for marsh and other fevers. So valuable , indeed , la it that it will destroy and feed upon the animalcules of marshy regions nnd help to eradicate mosquitoes by destroying the food on which Ihey exist. Us value by being efficacious in suoh fevers has given lo the Iron among many persons , especially the Spanish- Americans , the name of llio "fever Ircc , " nnd it is , therefore , somewhat revered by the unlives of Iho Spanish-American countries along tlio Pacific coast. The tree produces an essential oil which is valuable , ami a rosin like thn resin of cinchona. An extract made from Iho Iree yields a substance capable of neutralizing strong acids and forming crystalline salts. The leaves , dried anil powdered , have been found useful as n medicine for certain maladies , and the bark and wood have been utilized for tlio ame purpose. 13iit the discovery of the romarkblo use to which this tree can bo put was the result of an accident a couple of years ago. The eucalyptus tree had nourished on California soil , and Intil been employed as an ornament and slinde tree in many of Iho cities and settlements along the Pacific coast. It will be re membered for a long time past engineers all over Iho country suffered from scale forming in their boilers and from corro sion. About a couple of years ago Mr. George Downic , the proprietor of a llonr- ing milj at Salinos City , Ca ! . , was in lite habit of filtering water in an old healer , in order to free it , as far as possible , from the mineral qualities that formed scale in his boilor. Chemical compounds supposed lo prevent llio form ation of scale has been used without otl'ect , and Mr. Dowmu resorted to thu fil tering of water as a partial preventive. Ills process was to run the walcr through the healer and let it drain through straw. One day lie happened to bo out of straw , but as the leaves from ono of the eucalyp tus trees which stoo 1 near the mill were handy , ho employed them instead. To Mr. Downic's surprise , the formation of scale in the boiler slopped , and that v , hich was alrcndv there began to bo removed. Ilo thought it well to conlinue his experi ence with the eucalyptus leaves , mm , on proving the result , informed otiiers what lie had discovered. In a very short time the leaves of the eucalyptus tree fell into very general use among llio engineers on Iho Pacific coast for removing --ealo from boilers nnd for preventing corrosion.

Chicago Herald : " 1 never like to talk much about the cnse , " said ono of the oldest nnd best detectives in llio city's employ , "although it happened a good many years ago. I think it was the most brutal crime that I ever heard of in all my experience. "Well , to begin the yarn , there was a young doctor by the name of K. V. Cool- ago , who lived in a little town in .Maine. lie was a dissipated fellow , but came of a good family , who now and then would supply him with money when lie became short , but ho was so extravagant in his tastes that it would have taken'a national bank to keep him going. Ho had a prae- lice , lee , in a way , and ono of the finest laboratories in the stale. "Well , to make a long story short , ho became involved in a little financial dif ficulty one time , and wont to a friend named Matthews to borrow $ -100. Now , Matthews was u heavy drinker- but ho had plenty of money. It was fixed , however - over , so that he could only draw it through his brother. When Dr. Coolago went to him nnd asked for the loan , Matthews said ho did not have the money just nt that time , but ho thought he could get it , nnd would bring it up the next day to the doctor's oillco. Matthews wont to his brother , and after explaining what ho wanted the money for , obtained it. "At llio appointed time ho wont lo Dr. Coolago's otlieo with the $ -100 in his pocket. The doctor received the money , nnd poured his friend out a glass of brandy. The liquor was drug/jud / and Matthews full into a stupor , from which ho never awakened. Dr. Cooiago went coolly to work to nuirdor him , and burned tlio body up in a furnace in the basement. "Of course Matthews was missed. His brother told how he had got the $100 for Coolago , and the detectives searched the olllce. They found portions of the charred human bones , and thn doelor was arrested and placed in jail to await his trial. In the cell next to him there was an Irishman locked up for some minor offense whose term was to expire in a few days. Coolago became ac quainted with this man and ihe two formed a plot to throw the suspicion oi tlio murdur on a young .student named Flint , who wns in tlio doctor's ollice , Coolago fixed up a letter in which he made Flint confess to thn murder. This was given to the Irishman who was to kill Flint , leaving the impression that ho had com mitted t-uk'ido and place the letter on his person. However , the officers at the jail got on to thu schqnio , nnd took the letter away from the irishman , who was afterward - ward given a term ii | the penitentiary. "When Dr. Coolago saw that his plot had failed ho broke completely down , nnd as thn time for thu trial drew near IK became moody and morose. "On the ilny set for Ins trial 'he turn key wont into his cell to call him. Ho found Coolage in Ids cot dead. Ho hai committed .suicido , but for some timoit was a mystery how lie had done it. Tlio post-mortem examination revealed the fact that he had cut an artery in the roe of his mouth , 'swallowing the blood , nut thus blud la death.

The father died In I853when lie president wns only sixteen nnd his sister Uoso Elizabeth , wns seven years of ngo. The mother was a singularly strong character the possessor of intellectual and moral force and great dignity. She reared her children to honor her and love ono another , and In 'their maturer years they have not departed from her pre cepts. Though the brolhors nnd sisters mvo lived apart , they have experienced \ closer kinship than is generally the cnsn in united households , 'Iho love nnd veneration shared by nil .ho group for their mother , and the doc : rio ? thuy felt in her death , is n living joml between them , and ono never to die while they live. To her Ihoy came as often ns they could make the journey , t'.io sons who hadgono out Into the world and .ho sisters who had established new ionics for themselves. The Inst time they net there wns at the funeral of Mrs. Cleveland , and when they separated it was to leave the youngest sister the solo occupant of llio lonely house , linger mspilnlity was offered nor in the homes of her brothers and sisters , but she pre ferred lo stay in the house which had now become hers , and in time to renew her work in her chosen field. There wns an advantage lo her in IhiH course. She wns not a stranger m the place , ns lior elder brothers and sisters had bocou-o by their long absence from it , but every ouo know nnd respected her , nnd her few chosen Iriends were not fnr away. She liad , too , tlio prestige of her parents' fame in Holland patent , mid this was a rich lega'-y. ' Her father liad died three weeks niter his re- inovnl there to become pastor of the Presbyterian church , but his character ns a minister nnd a man was well known in all that region , and in his short acquaintance with the villagers ho dad endeared himself to them. Mrs. Cleveland lived there nearly twenty years after his death , nnd her worth is fully appreciated by the villagers. She wns a noble woman , intensely self-reli ant , courageous , and religious. A south erner reared in luxury the only child of a wealthy merchant of Baltimore she had met disasters of life that followed her husband's death with such fortitude mid rare independence as made her life a marvel to llioso about her. It was only because she had been bred in the circle of life that ' .vas hers , and had come from such a family and home , that she was able to meet misfortune as she did. Mr ? . Cleveland's ardent desire often expressed was to leave lo Iho village some expression of her goo.l-will nnd ap reciation of the kindness shown her in ler days of trouble , and her wish was to give 'a fund for a libraty.
