ment Bonds with more liberal interest
and other special, distinctive features.
The Dollar Savings Fund & Trust
Company, Allegheny, Pa., issues Coupon
Certificates of Deposit, in denomina
tions of $500.00 and $1,000,00, due in five
years and bearing interest at the rate of
four per cent, per annum.

est period by giving 60 days notice in
j writing to the Company, interest pay
, able January Ist and July Ist. Attach
. Ed to these engraved Bonds are Interest
Coupons in regular form, to be cut off

issue: more liberal than ordinary Sav
ings Deposits, which allow interest only
from Ist of each month, and do not per
mit withdrawal without lengthy notice;
then, only, with loss of interest to the
depositor if withdrawn at other than
' the regular interest periods. The cer
: tigcates are payable to bearer, with pro
vision for registration of principal, and
| are transfarable. Out-of-Town Deposi
r tors will lied them admirably conveni
\ ent and satisfactory investments for
' surplus funds. Interest is collectible
through home banks, or by mail; the
certificates are negotiable, and may be
used as collateral to their full face
value. The absolute security of these
Bonds is guaranteed by the Capital &
Surplus of over $2,050,000.00. The reputa
tion of the Dollar Savings Fund & Trust
Company is well known and the names
of its Officers and Trustees, headed by

The Case.
No papers have as yet Wen tiled in
the Massi-th will case, but Mrs Mas
seth's attorney, S F Bowser, is qnot»d
as follows:
•'We are not trying to break the wiil,
nor do we intend anything of the sort
Instead Mrs. Masseth has served notice
that she renounces the will. She will
base her claims on the intestate law,
and can easily prove that she was Mr.
Massseth's wife. At the end of 30 days
we will go into orphan's court and pre
sent said proof. She has her marriage
certificate and nnuierons docutnen's
and letters from Masseth, in which he
to her a» his \> ife in most i: Unc
tion <te terms and signs himself bir
husband
• I r is a queer time to cast a doubt on
the relations existing between this
e. .ij,lt: For 10 y<-ars they have been
living together here, and Mr. Masseth
introduced Mrs Masseth everywhere as
his wife, and took her into the best
r■ i- ilies of this place. He introduced
her tome as his wife, and I never heard
anyone dare to hint at such a possibility
as Masseth insinuated himself in his
will. He met Mrs. Masseth when she
was a handsome youmr woman, and
now when she is an invalid, the attempt
is made to disinherit her."
