ranging to the tot of 3 It has not the 20Q00 a year president with the silken gray hair and well fed physique the high priced cashier the wise looking paying teller who never makes a mistake the bespectacled bookkeeper and the dud Ish clerk who is somebodys son to burden the pay roll The numerous titles and offices are all filled by Frank Wolke a fifteen year old cripple who has been from birth a phenomenon at figures When a few weeks past 4 years of age young Wolke fell down a flight of stairs and was injured in the spine so badly that he was rendered a cripple for life This unfortunate accident confined him to hi home and room and It tended toward making him a studious child His mind ieanea toward ngures ana he was a great student of financial and economic questions at a very tender age The latest venture of this young Napoleon of finance is the Dewey Savings Company Wolke made a canvass of the neighborhood and friends of the family and laid the proposition before them at the outset and it was Indorsed by several sound and astute business men The methods of this bank seem to be sound and are the newest to be put before the financiers of the world The office hours of this Institution are from 5 to 8 Tuesdays The depositors buy shares on the building association plan of 1 cent each and nollmit Is set as to the holding of any one shareholder The depositors line up in depositing and present their books and have them attended to as In the time honored build ing association Fines are assessed advice is given by the president in the same manner as any other

annum Is assessed for the privilege of depositing in this institution The depositors at the present number upward of sixty and there are depositing accounts of 360 shares a week If this latest Napoleon of finance is not a success In his particular branch it will not be caused by the lack of business methods He keeps a full set of books consisting of a day book ledger journal and all other printed material that goes with a concern of this kind Cincinnati Enquirer BRITISH OFFICERS FARE WELL Go to tbe Trauavaal Wltb Lnrse Store of Cholee DeilcsuMesi In Pall Mall London on the eve or the

METHODS HIGHLY COMMENDED BACKB WAST9 TO SEE TUEM ADOPTED IS HEW ZEALAND In Hi Report to tbe College Council at Auckland He Makes Some FUttertnar rieconw mendatlons BERKELEY November 19 An antipodean opinion of the University of California is contained in the report made by Baume LL JB before a recent meeting of the University Col lege Council In Auckland New Zealand as printed in the Auckland Star of October 7th Mr Baume visited the United States last summer as a commissioner of the University College Council to study American university methods and Ideals He visited Berkeley on his return Journey to New Zealand and was greatly struck with the organization and methods of the University of California tae spent a juomber oi days at the University under the guidance of Professor Henry Senger and Director A Leuschner of the students observ atory The duties of the president of the university struck Mr Baume as a particularlygood feature of the American university system The president of the university says his report is responsible for the entire teaching and administration of the university and Is chosen rather for his reputation as an administrator than as a scholar To htm is intrusted for all practical purposes the appointment of the members of the teaching faculty He seeks to gather around him men of mark in the various branches of learning by such means attracting students to the university arid endeavors to give It a high position in the educational world It will be seen therefore how the standing of such a university depends largely upon the personality of its president The University of California is an integral part of the public educational system of the State and as such it completes the work done In the public school Mr Baume commends the system of accrediting secondary schools by which he says the educational interests of the State are knitted closely together and the quality of the work done In the secondary schools is improved The power thus given he says is carefully exercised by the principal of the accredited school for the career of the student so recommended reflects on his school and is to some extent a crtterioh of the work done thereat and the fitness or otherwise of the school to remain upon the accredited list a distinction which is of moment to all schools and of actual monetary value to private schools Mr Baume applies the conclusions which he has drawn from the University of California in recommendations concerning the adaptability of these methods to conditions In New Zealand He speaks admiringly of the general Interest taken In California In the extension of university education which results he pays in making private gifts stupendous His admiration for the system of accredited schools is shown by the fact that he recommends the institution in New Zealand of a system of inspection examinations and accredited schools similar to that which is in vogue in California He says further that some provision should be made to Introduce the university extension system such as prevails in California Before a subsequent meeting of the University College Council Mr Baume made a report uponthe astronomical work of the University of California While In Berkeley hedeclared that the Lick Observatory was unequaled in the world ind that the students observatory at Berkeley was a model Football in Honolulu BERKELEY November 19r Football Mapager Muma Is considering a proposition from Honolulu sportsmen to take the Berkeley team to the Islands for a game In the early part of January A team of old college football players and men from tho islands and this Coast has been organized in the Hawaiian capital and has the klng of a number of wealthy men The Honolulu men are said to have raised 1500 toward expenses and are willing to guarantee 2500 The time necessary for the trip will probably militate against the plan and also the fact that arrangements have been begun for a game with the Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland on New Tears day Funeral of Captain Fowler BERKELEY November 19 The funeral of Captain John Fowler the pioneer Mississippi steamboat mtrster who died on Friday at his residence in the Clare raont district took place this afternoon from the family residence on Cdllege ave nuei He was widely known as one of the oldest settlers of Berkeley The remains were Interred in

the animal but that It came to his home of its own accord In speaking of the war rant he said The dog came to my home lafct Sunday and seemed to be sick Believing that it was a valuable animal I took it to the stable and kept It there until Tuesday when Webber thejpwner came and took it away I fed itlhd did what I could to save its life During the day I tied it in the front yard where passers by could plainly see it with the hope that the rightful owner could reclaim his property I have no doubt that if Mahoney was with Webber when the complaint was sworn to this is another tlep in bis

There is still much mOneyln the manufacture1 of the bricks Inm told tfnd therefore their sale by the confidence men tniist still continue brisk Occasionally wbs read of a gold brick having been sold in the East and even in wide awake New York but there is not enough to be made In the traffic here by enterpriainir swindlers who aim to become rich Moat of the output goes to the West and Southwest Very little of MV sella for real gold east of the Mississippi or Ohio Gold bricks are made of one kind Of metalor another and are bever simply1 gilded clay bricks as some persons supposesuppose It Is quite possible yes to gild compressed fire brick but It will not withstand the handling or yield tha weight required of the article by th crooks It Is said that the first gold brick made wasmerely a glided fire brick hence the naine The finest gold bricks disposed a the obme ons In the East arid the unsb phfsticated miners ranchers and farm era in the West and Southwest are prer pared from copper alloyedwith a small1 percentage of zinc for expert manufacturers have discovered that this alloy retains its luster and tone better than any other metal and furnishes immunity from the chemicals used ln the gilding Pure copper too bav heard It said makes an exceptionally fine gold brick and lead iron and steel are often used Silver Is still more de su able and has frequently been em ployed by swell manufacturers Its principal recommendation Is that gold arid silver fuse and unite naturally but then silver is costly and few makers of gold bricks can afford to use lt 1 Gold leaf is never used lb gliding metals Inthese days Metalllcorna ments and weapons have been gilded by an application of gold pgwder but even this method has been discontinued Nearly all of the metallic gilding is done by processes requiring liquid or semi solid materials Farinorecare is taken in gliding a gold brick than any other article so one who knows all about the business told me He made gold bricks himself until a wave of reformation overwhelmed blmi The pieceof metal preferred by hlmaS bflck was a baforlngotwith no resemblance to the building brick being longer and about one half of a real bricks diameter The value of the standard brick turned out for the trade ewould be something less than 800 If made off pure gold When the article is first preX pared for market Its cost to the purchaser raries frorrt 110 to 50 according to the value of the materials used The pufchaserroro thefactory ofrcburse endeavOrSito secure better terms frora his vlctimsi Amateurs or gilders not yet
