FROM The Ne,C York Tribune September "a,
In the handsome marble building of
the New York Life Insurance Company
on Broadway, the last Republican Gov.
ernor of South Carolina, Daniel H.
Chamberlain, now has an Office, and is o
member Of law firm doing large bus
iness. His room, which forms one of
several opening ITO each other, is
reached from tn outer world Of hallway
through an interior corridor, from which
branch off alcoss-like Offices. An air of
active work pervades this chain of Off

Chamberlain, the visitor sees directly in
front a large window, and, lining monot-
ononsly the walls upon either side, to the
very ceiling, the calfskin-covered books

was MIR. Chamberlain, when a represen.
tative of the 2ri6une-who had been
previously announced-came into this
alco,ve on Saturday. The man reading
the book is of medium height; the close
fitting suit of black makes him look
rather slender; his eyelids droop over
the eyes, he is decidedly bald, and alto
gether has the look of keen-witted and
high-bred city ma. of forty years of age.

the centre of the room, placed his book
upon his knee and had gazed dreamily
at the ceiling, at the floor and at the
books on every side. He had not read
