Magnificent Championship Belt to be Won at Atlanta Atlanta, Aug. 21.?The $1,000 ? international championship gold belt ; offered by tbe Cotton States and International Exposition for firemen's races was received this morning from tbe Baxmar Company. It is an ex ceedingly handsome belt, consisting j of nine shields of gold. The central j shield is five by six inches, surmount ed by the United States flag and eagle in gold with diamonds to repre sent the stars of the States. On the shield is the following inscription : ? "International championship beit for j hoee racing. Open to the world Offered by the Cotton States and International Exposition Company of Atlanta, Ga." On either side of this central shield are four other shields, each three by four inches in size, gar nished with emeralds and rubies above and below. The shields are joined I > together by two gold chains, one at ; the top and one at the bottom of the shield, the whole forming a magni- ? ficent belt?one of the handsomest ever seen in America. This belt is ! offered for hose racing to cover a dis tance of 300 yards. Chief Joyner of the Atlanta fire department, who has the contest in charge, proposes to break the record in this race. The run will have to be made, hose con nection made and water thrown in less than 38 seconds. If the Bill Was Genuine. Recently a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church returned from a tour of the south and rocde his headquarters at one of the big hotels uptown, says the New York Tribune. To those who called upon him at the hotel he told a fanny story about his experience among the negroes of tbe south. He went down with a party to one of the fash ionable winter resorts along the coast. One Sunday be was told of a service that was to be held at a colored Meth odist church several miles inland. It was suggested that the party attend these services, and accordingly car riages were ordered and the drive was made. The rest of the story is best told in his own language. He said : "When we arrived at the church we fouod that it was to be a sort of special service to raise money to pay off a church debt. Tbey had recently erect ed a new church and it was only partly paid for. The local bishop had been summoned and a great effort ?as being ade to get the mouey. When we d taken our seats a colored brother came around and asked us if we would cot go to tbe front, bat we declined. "In the course of his remarks tbe bishop dwelt upon the good work that bad been dooe in the name of tbe Re deemer, and cailed upon every one pres ent to contribute something toward pay ing off tbe great debt that tbe church bad assumed in building a new bouse j of worship. He said that the debt was ?142.35. and that it must be mer. His j eloquent plea reached our hearts aud j we made up a little purse among our-1 selves and raised $100. The money ! was handed to me, and I, when the plate j was handed around, laid a crisp $109 , bill on the plate. "Whi?e the money was being count- i ed a song service was held. It was j plainly evident to us that somethiug i unusual was going on and there was a subdued air of excitement among those counting the money. Finally the bishop stepped to the front and raised hi" : haod. The music ceased at once. He ! began to speak very gravely, and : imagine our astonishment when he ' said : '"Brethren ; We have met with j remarkable success in our efforts to day We bave received enough ! money to pay off the debt, and a sur- j plus of ?14.12?that is. providio' the j bill which the gentleman from the ! north gave us is genuine.' " Banking in Japan. The letters of Col John A. Cock erill in the Herald from Japan con tain a great deal that i* of interest respecting the life and institutions of1 theJapane.se Ina letter published on Monday there is an account of the manner in winch a leading bank of Yokohama is conducted. This bank is one of the great financial institu tions of the empire, and yet, until recently, the president of it was paid only iti silver or ?4 l in gold a month for his services, while the managers were paid $60 in silver or $30 in gold a month each. It is true there was a system of rewards which, in S?tne instances, brought the pay of the salaried officials ? to about ?2,000 a year. Lately, it was decided to abolish the rewards and pay larger salaries The president now gets about ?2,600 a year, and the managers get con siderably less. Some of the em ployees get as low as $G a month An interesting feature is the bank's method o? providing against lo&ses by mistakes or dishonesty o? the officials. Each official and em ployee is taxed so much per month in proportion to his salary, and the amount thus raised is a fund out of which losses, due to the foregoing causes, suffered by the bank, are paid. i There is also a fund out of which gratuities are paid to those who leave the bank after having served satisfactory for a terra of five years. The salaries paid by the banks of Japan would not be very acceptable to those who conduct the affairs of the leading banks of this country, but is cot the method of making good losses due to mistakes and dishonesty a good one ? It is a method to which the stockholders of American bauks would raise no objection. The losses of some of the banks of this coun try, however, are sometimes so enor mous that it would take a big tax or a long time to make them good by the Japanese method. Bucking the Trust St. Louis, Aug 21.?As a result of a secret meeting of plug tobacco manufacturers, held at the Planters' Hotel, this morning, at which Hon. Paul J.
