THE PEOPLES PENNIES.
How They Increase and Multiply in the
Hands of the Savings Banks.
From the -Vein Yorl; Herald. *
The present week has been an exception
ally busy one with savings banks in this
city. Tho accounts of these institutions
have for some days been made up and semi
annual dividends declared. Tho thousands
of deposits of all nationalities, creeds and
color, have been for the post few days
choking the passageways and lobbies of
these establishments aud taxing the em
ployes to their utmost limit.
* As is well known, saving banks are estab
lished with a view to enable the poor to find
places in which small savings can be depos
ited on interest, and thus to offer induce
ments to make such savings. There aro no
authentio"details regarding the founding of
the first savings bank beyond tho mere fact
that it was founded in Hamburg in 1778.
Berne, in Switzerland, followed in 1787, and
in that country, at Zurich, is the oldest ex
isting savings bank in Europe, which was
founded in 1805. Though Francis Masercs
in 1 771 started the ball in England relative
to savings banks, it was Jeremy Bentham
who gave it the kick which landed it on a
successful basis.
The first savings bank in Ireland was es
tablished at Btillorgan, county Dublin, in
March. 1815. In 1807 the Rev. John Muck
ci-sy established in Scotland the “West Cal
dor Friendly Bank for tho Savings of the
poor.” By tho end of 1810 there were
seventy-four savings banks in England and
Wales and four in Ireland. Similar sys
tems have been successfully introduced into
Australia and Canada.
The earliest savings bank established in
France was in Paris, July 29, 1818; there
was one in Bordeaux in 1819, and one in
Marseilles in 1831. In the various States of
the German empire savings banks exist, one
having been founded in Berlin as early as
ISIS. In Austria tho deposits of these
institutions amount to $179,475,824.
Throughout Europe the deposits in savings
banks are estimated at $1,180,000,000.
SAVINGS BANKS IN AMERICA.
In this country the first savings bank was
the “Philadelphia Saving Fund Society,”
suggested by Condy Raguet and organized
in 1816. It still exists in a flourishing con
dition, and ten years ago held deposits
amounting to $10,275,752 83. Tho second
was established in Boston in the same year;
the third in this city in 1819.
The statistics of American banks, as near
as can be gathered, show that Maino has
$0,398 depositors and $29,556,498 deposits;
ISew Hampshire, 92,501 and $30,214,585;
Vermont, 16,200 and $5,751,002; Massachu
setts. 702,099 and S2l'i, 153,120; Rhode Island,
93,124 aud $46,017,164; Connecticut, 205,510
and $72,205,631; New York, the depositors
are over 1,000.000, and tho deposits about
$007,870,649; New Jersey about $50,000,000,
and California 91,933 depositors and about
$114,738,206 deposits.
Of those savings banks which have begun
paying their semi-annual interest, and there
are many of them, all show larger assets
and an increased number of depositors.
Though the depositors have increased tho
individual deposits have not. Nevertheless,
the aggregated amouut deposited has been
greatly augmented. A diagnosis of the
financial condition of these institutions is,
as a rule, taken as a true estimate of the
prosperity of tho people, and if this year’s
condition is to be token as a criterion there
is no denying the fact that the great mass of
the community “are doing quite wel.”
SCENES AT THE “EMIGRANT’S.”
The panorama of life to bo witnessed
daily during the paying oi' interest at the
Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank is as
striking as it is interesting. Decrepit men
and women, with their pennies or dollars of
interest awaiting them, take their stand,
and, defying heat, hunger or fatigue, dis
cuss the weather, the evictions in Ireland or
the duplicity of politicians, gradually move
along in line to where their money awaits
them. Handsome girls in summer attire
and coquettish smiles break the monotony
of the dull work.
The number of depositors at the Emi
grant's Bank is 00,000, an increase of 1,571
over that of last year. The earnings of the
bank ending June 33, from interest on bond
and mortgage, stocks, daily bank balances,
foreclosed properties and revenue of bank
ing house, were, $813,832 36. Only one-half
of the depositors draw interest, while the
other half leave their earnings to capitalize.
The preponderance of women, especially of
the servant order, was quite noticeable.
There is no class of poor people in this city
so well off as the servant girls. This may
seem paradoxical, but when the fact is
taken into consideration that all the wants
of these people arc supplied and their earn
ings capitalized the problem is easily solved.
No other class of people can do the same
thing, and it it is fair to say that ninety
nine out of every 100 of these servant girls
do this.
DRAWING INTEREST AT “TIIE CITtZEXS’.”
At the Citizens’ Savings Bank, corner of
Canal street aud the Bowery, everything
was in a bustle yesterday. There is proba
bly no savings itank which collects such a
heterogeneous mass of humanity as the Cit
izens’. Its president, E. A. Quintard, looked
smilingly out yesterday upon the sea of faces
as they quietly waited their turn to draw
their semi-annual interest. The bank has
30.000 depositors, to whom it owes $10,429,-
417,(1.). Its assets amount t' $11,024,902.01,
and its surplus to $1,195,454.30. Since the
beginning of the year its depositors have in
creased 1,006, its liabilities to these $203,843,'
14. and Its assets aro greater by $205,700.23.
Yesterday tho depositors were out in
force. Actors and artists brushed against
bakers and barbers, while barkeepers and
blacksmiths nodded to one another. Brewers
and brokers were in the ranks, and so were
butchers and builders. Carpenters and
clergymen elbowed one another, as did also
conductors and compositors. Cooks, cloth
ier.-, and coopers formed in line with editors
and publishers, engineers and engravers,
firemen and florists, grinders and govern
®*es. hotel kecjicrs and housekeepers.
The monotony at this bank was broken
recently by one of those cranks who turn up
on every occasion. Tho war of traffic was
at its height on the Bowery when a
ham, lank, cadaverous looking woman
slipped up to tho cashier’s window and
said;
FOR THE ARMY OF THE LORD.
“I want a million dollars.”
“That’s the case with a great many people,
htadnni,” said tho cashier.
“I want you to obey my orders without
comment,’"she said. “Give me tho money
hi snlull bills.”
"What is it to Ist used fori”
"To pay nty army.”
“What army!”
"The army of the Lord.”
“Never heard of it,” sai l tho cashier, and
th|'n everybody snickered.
"M ell, sir. Inin waiting."
“Might I inquire your name, merely as a
matter of form, madam,” inquired the
cashier.
“My name, sir, is Sarah Googliegan.”
“Any relation to Owney? 1 ’ asked ono of
tile clerks, and all took suhio fresh gum.
“I’m sorry wo can’t accommodate you to
'■'i)’.” said the cashier, “but we had tho
sidewalk and windows washed this morning
mid are consequently out of small change.
“1 don’t want any foolishness about this.”
si"' said. “It may become necessary to bite
sonic ono," and she made a couple of steps
forward.
Vi u had better apply to the President,"
hrgi.sl the cashier. “Perhaps Mr. Quintard
can attend to your case. Ho always keeps
a attic money'concealed in his clothes.”
. Instead lit going to the President's room
i, 1 " walked out of tho door and down the
flowery,
V (sH yilay a woman depositor came to
• n bank to collect her Interest. Kho pro
nounced her name so cf%rcly differently
bom what tho clerks were accustomed to
hear it that no, ouo was able to identifv
, T ' Nile could neither rc:ui nor write, and
i ii t° her contusion she was unable to
’cl where she lived. She was subsequently
identified, her nume found and her interest
given to her.
... THE KIMBLE DIME,
he Luloii 7)Vow .Eavino’s Ljatltution. at
Broadway and Thirty-second street, has
increased its business and assets of late. Its
asseis now are 88,204,354 47, its deposits
$7,639,308 84, and its surplus $600,384 02.
A noticeable feature of this institution is
the gain of women depositors over that of
men. The ratio is about four to three.
Here yesterday jewelers and laborers were
seen together, as were also laundresses and
lawyers, liquor dealers and lithographers,
masons and mechanics, merchants and milk
men, milliners and moulders. Everything
wore a prosperous look at this institution.
At the Broadway Savings Bank, No. 4
Park place, a simiki r scene was witnessed.
At the German Bank, No. IUO East Four
teenth street, everything was fraught with
that frugality which is one of the strongest
characteristics of the German.
Up at the Harlem Savings Bank, at No.
2,381 Third avenue, the scene was one of
genuine activity. Cigarmakers and shoe
makers, stonecutters and storekeepers,
tailors and tanners, and tinsmiths and to
bacconists mingle in one happy family.
At the Bowery Savings Bank; the East
River, No. 3 Chambers street: Dry Dock,
No. .'43 Bowery; Manhattan, No. ti!i4
Broadway, and the Greenwich, No. 73
Sixth avenue, the statement as to the
amount of deposits and the number and
character of their depositors were very en
couraging. In fact, those who stepped into
those institutions could not help being
struck with the democracy of the depositors
and the general good spirit which per
meated everybody. Opticians and oyster
dealers mingled ip pleasant conversation,
photographers and physicians talked science,
pianoforte makers aud plumbers smiled
at one another, pocket-book makers and
policemen winked significantly, porters and
printers talked about early hours, provision
dealers and restaurant keepers met on a
footing, and refiners and distillers were in
the same line with roofers, saddlers, sales
men, seamen, seamstresses, soldiers and
stewards.
A BIG ANTI-POVERTY SOCIETY.
Summed up in a word, the condition of
the laboring and middle classes from a
financial standpoint is undoubtedly very en
couraging, taking the savings institutions
of the city as the basis for such a statement.
EATING THE FLESH OF DOGS.
Mrs. Hammermiller and Children Dine
Off Their Pet Canine.
Front the Chicago Tribune.
An oldish little German woman wearing
a faded dark calico dress aud a shapeless
straw bonnet stepped briskly and in a busi
ness-like way into the prisoner’s dock at the
Chicago Avenue Police Court yesterday
when the name of Maurice Hammermiller
was called. He was charged with keeping
a vicious dog.
“My husband is sick, Judge, and I came in
his place,” vouchsafed the little woman in
German in answer to the look of inquiry in
the Justice's eyes.
“Well, my good woman, has ho killed that
dog as he was ordered? You see, the little
boy who was bitten is on hand to prosecute,
and I shall certainly assess a fine if my or
ders have not been ebeyed.”
“O, yah, de dog is dett lor tree or a gub
blc days. Ain’t it, officer?”
“I guess the dog’s dead, your Honor,”
said the officer appealed to. “She showed
me the hide and feet of a dog, and said it
was the one what bit the little boy here.”
“Did you skin your dog?” asked the court
in astonishment.
“Yah, certain.”
“What for?”
“Because wo want de meat.”
‘ ‘ Want the meat ? What for ?”
“To eat, of course. Me boil de meat, and
den it is ready. Mine husband have lung
disease: und he say dat dog meat is good for
him. So it is eat.”
“There certainly is no doubt of the death
of that dog, and such being the case my
jurisdiction ends,” half soliloquized his
Honor as he thought over the little wom
an’s strange statement. “O, yes—yes, you
may go, your husband is discharged. I’m
satisfied that the dog’s dead,” and with a
“Tankee, schon,” she left the dock, smiling
and happy.
Mrs. Maurice Hammermiller, like Miss
Nina Van Zandt, keeps a number of dogs.
Mrs. Hammermiller lives at No. oil Uhland
street and her husband works for Kuh,
Nathan & Fischer. Uhland street is a queer,
little Y-shaped alley up in the Fifteenth
Ward, with the stem of the Y inserted at
about No. 151 Clybourn avenue. Mrs. Ham
inermiller's dogs annoy the neighbors some
what, just as Miss Van Zandt’s did. The
apparently utilitarian character of Mrs.
Hammermiller’s fad led a reporter to call on
that lady last evening. In this city, where
beef anil pork aro so plentiful, and where
whiteftsh and sea turtle can be had almost
for the asking, dog meat is hardly ever
heard of. It is not quoted in the market.
Nobody fattens dogs for the stock yards.
The very sausages are made out of pork in
this city.
Mrs. Hammermiller was found on the
front steps of her residence surrounded by
her family—a family <if at least two succes
sive generations. She is a little, weazened
old party, with a complexion like a last
year’s apple. When before Justice Kesston
she claimed to bo unable to sneak English,
and her evidence was given through an in
terpreter. But she talked English pretty
well to the reporter, and when she got en
tangled in an English idiom her daughter,
a smart young woman, who was nursing
a year-old baby, chipped in and helped her
out:
“Mr. Hammermiller is sick, isn’t he?” the
reporter asked. “Consumption, I under
stand r
“He ain’d got no gonsumption mit him
vat I knows of,” replied Mrs. Hammermil
ler. a little tartly. “He vas sick mit a cough,
but he's potter alretty.”
“What is it you want:” asked the young
woman with the baby.
“1 was told Mr. Hammermiller had eaten
dog's flesh to cure him of consumption, and
1 wanted to know if it cured him,”said the
reporter.
“Dr dog was a good healthy dog,'’ said
Mrs Hammermiller, “und I eaten him niino
selluf.”
“Ate him all yourself?”
“I fried him dose days, und I odder days
him boiled, und he was a goot dog, und dor
children some of him cat, und 1 eat him,
und we all of us him cat. Ho was a goot
tog.”
“Is dog’s flesh healthy!”
“Yah. Mine 1 irudder in Germany he toils
mo of rich peoples what cat dogs. W
often dogs eat in Germany. Hi? fat I rub it
on mine breast. It is good to cure sick peo
ples. Mine man he have a cough, aud spit,
spit,cough,cough -last winter il was—and he
took some dog and ho spit it alt up and was
potter. It cures dipteery and bronehits, or
vut you call it.’’
“Did you give some of the dog to the
children ?" . , , .
■ ‘ Yah. He va ? a goot tog. Igi vo him to
dor children und cat him mine-elf.”
“Come into the house, mother,” said Ihe
young woman with the baby. “What is
all this about? What is he asking you things
for ?”
“He’s a police, ain’t it?” said the old lady,
looking at the re|iorter with a large note of
interrogation in her fai-e.
The reporter said ho was interested in
dogs, and that it ftas beautiful weather for
thus time of the year, and then ho came
away.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 1887.
FRUIT CULTURE IN HOUSTON.
How the Famous Willow Lake Nur
sery was Started.
From the Perry ( Ga .) Journal.
Twenty years ago, in 1867, Mr. S. 11.
Rumpli conceived the idea of cultivating
peaches aud other fin its for profit. He was
then a lad of about 16 years of age, inex
perienced in fruit growing, but full of de
termination to find out for himself if his
scheme could be made profitable. His neigh
bore tried to dissuade him by argument and
ridicule, but he persisted. His first venture
w-as the purchase of a few varieties of choice
peach trees. The first crop from these trees
was a surprise to all the neighbors, a id soon
“Sam Rumph's peaches” were rei og.iizedas
the best in the neighborhood. Hi; neigh
bors wanted to buy some trees of th) same
sort. He then decided to increase his stock
of trees, and in order to do this an a re was
planted with seeds from peach Rees grow
ing in tho old fields on the farm. These
young sprouts were utilized as grafting
stock for his choice varieties. When these
grated and budded trees grow a year, he
was enabled to offer a few for sale, and
thus orignated the famous Willow Rake
Nursery, superior to which there is no fruit
nursery in tho South Mr. Humph has con
tinued as he began, relying chiefly upon his
own judgment, proved by experience. W il
low Lake Nursery, as our readers Know, is
in Houston county, about twelve miles west
of Perry, and about four miles east of Mar
shallville. As may bo supposed, the name
was derived from a body of water with wil
low trees on its banks. A recent visit dis
closed tho fact that the w r ater has disap
peared, but a large willow tree still marks
the spot. The nursery has become famous,
and is to-day a most pleasant and profitable
monument to the energy, perseverance, hon
esty and good judgment of Mr. Rumpli.
From the trees sold from the first acre of
peach trees, Mr. Rumpli began to appre
ciate that there was something in the fruit
business, and every year since his nursery
acreage lias b:en increased. From Ito 2,
to 5, to 10, until now ho has about 60 acres
in the nursery fruit trees, berries and
grapes, and has for sale this fall $30,000
worth of stock. This nursery stock con
sist of 48 varieties of apples, oO of peaches,
13 of peare, 5 of plums, 16 of grapes, 3 of
quinces, 3 of mulberries, 4 of figs, S of
strawberries; 3 of raspberries, in all 153 va
rieties that he is willing to recommend as be
ing adapted for market and home use in
the South. He has other varieties with
which lie is experimenting.
Mr. Rumpli personally supervises the bud
ing and grafting of his young trees, doing
much of this work with his own hands.
He does not sell a tree that he is not abso
lutely satisfied is true to name and in a
healthy condition. In.this way he has es
tablished a record for honesty and integ
rity that places him at the head of tho list
of nursery men.
Besides the nursery business Mr. Rumoh
raises fruits extensively for market, lie
originated the celebrated Elberta peach, tho
host market peach now grown, and the El
beata fruit farm, belong to himself and Mr.
B. T. Moore, his father-in-law, contains 20,-
000 trees on 11N acres. His acreage in fruits,
besides the nursery, amounts to about 400
acres. His Cleveland orchard, containing
20,(XX) trees, has iiaid 10 per cent, on the in
vestment on daily 4, and shipping not
through with. "H'/ie transplanting of this
orchard was finished the day President
Cleveland was inaugurated.
Two years ago he sold for SSOO the wild
goose plums from three-fourths of an acre;
trees 2 years old.
He ships trees and fruits North, South,
East and West.
In his orchard he has grafted, buildod and
seedling trees 20 years old, still thrifty, and
in good bearing condition.
This year only those trees on land with
clay sub-soil retained their fruit; the cold
killed all fruits ou other trees, therefore his
sales of fruit this year will lie comparative
ly light. He shipped strawberries from same
plants continually from April 10 to July 10,
this year.
Mr. Rumph evaporates his inferior fruit,
makes vinegar from his refuse apples; makes
wine from the grapes he does not ship, and
keeps apples forborne use from one crop un
til the next crop is ready for use. Ho makes
his own shipping crates. He is, in fact, ful
ly equipped lor the fruit business in every
particular. His hands are well trained, some
of them having been in his employ fifteen
years. His chief man, a white man, has
been with him thirteen years.
