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.
