states that although the postomae
savings bank system in Russla is of
comparatively late origin, it ahows a
healthy development. The annual in-
crease in the deposits now averages
about 346,000,600. The amount on de-
posit on August 1. 1903, was $501,600,-
000. and on the same ete in HOT it
had reached 1636.600,000. As there has
not boon any real advance in the na-
tional prosperity to explain suoh an in-
crease in the nation's sayings, the
rush to the savings bank can only be
accounted for by the fact .of the peo-

Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 4.—The many
stories concerning the financial set
tlements growing out of the marriage
of the Earl of Yarmouth to Mies Alice
Thaw were set at rest here today by
a statement issued by Frank Semple,
Jr., agent and attorney of the 'Thav
estate. It is stated positively that
Count Yarmouth has absolutely no
control over his wife’s fortune, but in-
stead is given a moderate sum monthly
according to an agreement previous to
the marriage.
Attorney Semple's statement is as
follows:
"There appears to be some misap-
prehension in regard to the fortune of
the countess. It is all in her own
control. The Earl of Yarmouth has
not squandered her wealth. A large
part of her fortune was placed in the
hands of trustee* by her father under
his will and previous to the marriage
of the counters she placed the remain-
ing portion in a private trust for her
own use and It is being held in this
country under her control. Money is

GeorgeB. Zimpelman,
The death of Major George B. Zim-
pelman’removes one of the oldest land-
marks of the state. He was born in
Germany in 1832. and came to America
when he was only 16 years of age. Ho
had inherited a vigorous constitution,
a large stock of common sense, and of
sterling ideal*, from,hl* ancestor*, all
of which served him well in his long
and successful life, so crowded with,
stirring events And so singularly free-
from stan. During the period of hts
active manhood, which only closed with
hKlast sickness and death, he was
soldier, civil officer, private citizen and
man of affairs, living in times, and
moving amld scenes which tried men’s
faith and courage and tested their
honor to. the last resistance, and when
it wan easy to sell truth for opinion,
character for place. and principle for
gold, but he carried to hs grave a
sense of duty undegraded, and a sens*
of honor unstahed.
As a soldier he was without fear
and without reproach. His surviving
oomrades of Terry’s Texas Rangers,
speak with admiration,nd enthusiasm
today of hl* devotion ‘to the cause of
the *outh, and his courage in battle,
and unanimously assign him a place
among "the bravest of tHe hrave "

law and order, he put his consclence
and his honor into his office, and
moved among reckless offenders
against the law, as one electric with
the potency of civil authority, and
who held his own life subordinate to
the.high claim* which he had been
charged to enforce.
As postmaster under three presi-
dents, his administration was marked
by a wise and skilful management of
the enormous business committed to
his trust, a painstaking devotion to de-
tail, and a conscientious, yet manly,
appreciation of the vast responsibility
with which the government had clothed
him. ।
As man of affairs, while he accumu-
ated a considerable fortune, no- mnalo-
dorious dollar flings its taint. backward
across the life he liven on earth, nor
forward into the life upon which he
has entered. If money should have an
odor, impalpable to human sense, yet
perfectly patent to tho; higher sense*
of the immortals, which tells just how
it was made, whether by legitimate
processes, or by "ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain," George B.
Zimpelman shall have no reason to
shrink from the odor of his money, as
it is wafted across the border line to
mingle with the Atmosphere which he
breathes in the spirit world.
It was as a man and friend and
Christian that I knew him best. He
wore the imperlshable grace—Charity
—In his heart. It sat upon his tongue,
illuminated his countenance and made
his life to blossom w ith generous deed*.
As his pastor I knew his heart, and
was admitted to his confidence touch-
ing many noble and kindly acts that
the world knows nothing of I have
had time and again, opportunity to
knock on the substance of his soul,
and It never failed, in any instance, to
ring golden, true to the central dignity
and glory of the soul, and in harmony
with the loftiest idea’s and obligation*
of life. This, to' me, is the highest type
of man. Intellect 1* not our crowning
dlitfnctlon. Genius puts not the real
nimbus about our heads. Every grace
and art and attainment in life. is In-
ferior to one—the grace of constant
lovingness. St. Paul goes further than
this, and pronounces nil graces worth-
less that aro not unifled and held to-
gether by this grace, as the clasp holds
the girdle. -This was the crowning
grace of my old friend, Major 7lmpel-
man, and his best fitness for the in-
heritance incorruptible, undefiled and
that fadeth not away.
I stood by his bedslde in his last ill-
ness. The last rational words that he
•poke to me were these: "I am happy
and ready to go." When I shall enter
the unseen worid. I shall know where
to find my oldfriend—wherever the
loving hearts from al worlds are gath-
ered in the presence pf Him who is
the archetypal love "and the infinite
self forgetfulness, there I shall find
