I r ' PROFITABLE IN VESTMENTS. Tne Safety of Building Associa tions Conducted on Correct Prin ciples. ' ; - ; ; Washington Critic. i " v ! Of late stockholders in the vari ous building associations in this city have been rather uneasy over their investments, owing to the trouble that has occurred in the financial management of a certain building association -111 Georgetown. ; itli a view of learning something of building associations and their ad vantages to stockholders, a i Critic reporter to-day interviewed Mr. John J. Edson, who is in acknowl edged reference in such matters. "There is no better way of saving money, said Mr.. Edson, "and get ting a home easily than by invest ing in a building association. It is a perfectly safe investment if the stockholders elect careful, shrewd officers. The reason that some as sociations get into trouble is because the officers have their own private business to attend to and can only work for the association at odd imes, and thus do not look after the interests of the association as The cause of the should bo done. rouble in one association here late y was, I understand, because the profits did-not warrant the paying of eight per cent. on.. '.withdrawals and SiOO a year expenses. A competent finance committee, well paid for their services, is an in dispensable necessity' of a well or ganized bnildinfr association. In o o the Equitable Association there is such a committee, who receive ade quate monthly compensation for their services and responsibilities. Their duties are itemized and prin ted. An examination and report must be made monthly, and the re port signed before the committee can draw their salaries; consequent ly the reports' are always ready at the monthly meetings oi the board. The Equitable has been in exist ence a little over six years. We have issued 20,000 shares, the full quota allowed by our constitution. .W e have made about 800 loans - to our shareholders to pay for their property, amounting to overf 1,200, UOO; have foreclosed but one mort gage and have never lost a dollar. Our receipts since we commenced business have been over $1,700,000. The average amount paid or saved on stock by the shareholders is $8 fer month, or. 26 cents a day; the owest is fri.oO a month, or 8 cents a day, andthe highest is $75 a month, or $2.50 a day. 'Togive an idea of how exten sive the business is here, there are some 15,000 shareholders in build ing associations in Washington whose monthly paymeuts .amount to from $115,000 to $130,000, In our association the monthly re ceipts average ,$45,000. We have an active reserve fund for the pro tection of shareholders, such ' as is required by law of all banks and in surance companies. - "Ibe question of interest allowed on voluntary witndrawals before shares mature is a very important consideration in successfully con ducting a building association. In my opinion no association can safe ly pay over 4 per cent, interest per annum on voluntary withdrawals and carry out the true object for which building associations are or ganized. " ,-. " .

I took with me to him ! a presentation from a most generous, j noble lord. It was the gift of a Cliristian chieftain to the . chief druid. The moment I entered the lonely cell of the druid, the noble old man with flowinir beard stood up to meet me, and with extended hand, said, with sparkling eyes, 'Blwddyn ncwdy DdaV (Good New Year.) He then uttered a druidic prayer for all blessings todecendon the house of Bute, and the home of Sir W. T. Lewis was not forgotten by him who is preparing forCylch Y Gwynfyd' (the Circle of the Holy World".) He said I shall be 8G to morrow. 1 am in a hnrry to finish my. writings for the benefit of the whole world writing which will re store the Welsh people to the van of the nations of the earth. My writ ings can be "compared to work of a man engaged in clearing away rub rubbish which had fallen into a spring of water. Oh, the rubbish! Oh. the stuff which had fallen and hidden from all eyes the source of true religion!' lie' then said: 'Who will fight the battles of the gods when I am gone? He subsequently remarked that the day of his de parture was close at hand he felt his strength growing less daily; his memory, too, was not what it once wa3, I ventured - to ask him what were his views respecting the future fctate of existence. His reply was: 'My father and my mother are well able to provide for me, and in therri I trust, and not in any one else.' I asked him what he meant by his 'father and his mother;' he replied that the Creator was his father and Anian was his mother.' " By Arnan he seemed to mean jthe fecundating power of the earth, revealing her ef forts in the Springtime of the year. This, he said, is the Venus and the mother of the gods in ancient my- tholgy He seemed to regard all creeds as jumping; confusions of Druidism, and to I think that" his mission in the world was to restore the primitive order of ancient times." . - i ... ' YANDERBILT AND GARRETT. o ' An Eye-Witness Account of What Transpired at a Meeting Between the Old Giants. A "Western Mar'ylander, an inti mate friend of the late Jno. TV,. Garrett, related to me the other day-t he circumstances of the first meeting between Mr Garrett and old Commodore Yanderbilt, the pi oneers in that railroad in - which their sons have since become kings. Mr Garrett related the interview to my friend a few days after its occurrence. - The president of the Baltimore: & Ohio called upon the old commo dore just after Bob Garrett had graduated from Princeton College in lb.7. 130D and Harrison were with their father at the time, and when thay were ushered into the presence of: the old commodore the two boys took themselves to an ob- scure corner o; tne room. -air. y an derbilts greeting was: "Garrett, you have run that B. & O. d- d well." Such words from the lips of such a clerical-looking gentleman as Mr. V anderbilt astounded Mr. Garrett, who admitted his success, but mod estly attributed it to the Board of Directors rather than to any abili ty of his own. ' i . 'The directors be d -d," sharply i nterrupted the clerical looking old commodore; "they are the most intolerable nuisances out side of h 1." Boh and Harry snickered so loud ly at this that Mr. Yanderbilt look ed at them, seemingly surprised at their" presence. "Who are these youngsters?" he inquired of his truest. Mr. Garrett introduced them as his sons. "Look here," he continued, ' if you want to make men out of them take some advice from me. .Put them at the hardest work .- you can scrape up in your office and keep them at it all the time. - Marry them as quickly as jon can ana make them support their wives and family without any help from you." Mr. tJarrett arid the oldleomtnodore never met again. i " ' "Bob" has become the successor 4 of his father, and tt was at his fee I that the son and successor of th man who told his father how -1 (chief bard of the laureate of Ilrit-iarid a number of grand-children raise him fell dead. - Death of Ztbnlee RavstJ.

UnATTANOOGA April 20. The first Bessemer steel converted in the outh was made here yesterday by the South Tredegar1 Works. An experimental cast of two gross tons proved excellent steel, on rolls and under all tests applied. The ma tjerial used was pig iron from the Cranberry. ores of ,North Carolina, and shows that ore "to be excellent steel material. The plant has a capacity Of 85 tons per day. The success of the experiment has caused much gratification, among Southern iron masters. A Narrow Escape. A few days ago, Mr. TV. P. Crump, or Jstanly county, jRrho keeps the fer ry on Rock River, at Crump's Mills, missed being shot dead by one of liis neighbors, by a hair's breadth. He was turkey hunting, as was his neighbor, Mr. John Smith. Both were yelping for the game, and each thought the other a turkey. Mr. Crump was stoopingclose to -.the ground peering through the bushes, trying to get a glimpse at what he conceived to be the advancing bird. Mr. Smith was similarly engaged. As Mr. Crump was moving his head, first to one side and then the other, Mr. Smith espied "his black hat -all that he saw, little thinking that Bill Crump was hiding behind that liat. Mr. Smith, who is one of the bst rifle shots in this part" of the State, raised his gun, took deliber ate aim and banged away. The tjall .grazed the hat, leaving arrack to show where it had travelled-; Be fore reaching the hat, the ball struck a twig on a tree, about two feet in front of Mr. Crump and cut' it in twain. This, it is believed, Caused the ball to turn from its original line, thus saving Mr. (frump's life. Wadesboro Intelli gencer. . V ' ; .. " ' - ' .

The willow switches are from four to seven feet long at the end of two years, and are then cut and; stripped of their bark by machinery, wiped dry and laid away to dry. All the leaves and bark are dried arid baled. They are used for medical purposes and command twenty-five cents a pound. ; ' Govan S.

The whole estate is valued at $10,000,000, and . there are five heirs.
