Long reigns rare in history-long royal

The air of courts is destructive to health, nerve

who made a tour of the world and had resided
IN Paris many years. contracted a fear of being
buried alive during the Commune in that city.
1t grew steadily upon him that he had pro.
visions made in his will providing that his re-
M aims should be kept for four days before they
were placed in their final resting place; the lid

closed that a person could readily get out Il

Judge Gresham in Illinois.

Chicago Evening journal
The persons who are claiming that Illinois
will be solid for Judge Gresham don't know
what they are talking about. It is not probable
that Illinois will be solid for anybody when bal
loting begins in the convention. unless it should
be decided to compliment Governor Ogleshy Or
Senator Cuom for few ballots. Theb if Gull
lom, or Oglesby, or Gresham. or Harrison.
Sherman, or Allisen or Lincoln should loom up,
Illinois may have something to say about who
shall be the nominee. hut the assertion tina
Illinois is going into the convention to do die,
sink swim, survive perish, by Judge
Gresham, or any other man, is nonsensical and
untrua.

The first floor, which is entirely occu-
pied by the bank itself, is finished in ma
hogany and the interior of the bank har-
monies with this material, in color and
design. Upstairs, stained whitewood is
the rule and such is the architectural eff
feet that the beholder. is impressed with
a sense of the utmost security and con-
viction that all has been done that skill
and wealth could suggest.
Warren r. Briggs was the architect
who drew the plans for the entire build
ing and he may well be proud Of the fin
ished work. Other contractors were as
follows: John Rutherford, mason; Saw
age g. Smith, carpenters; Benjamin q
Eames, plumbers; Matt. Taylor Paving
company of New York, pavement; Healy
& Co. of Brooklyn, iron work. The bank.
interior was done by A. I'll. Andrews a.
Co. of New York and the hydraulic ele-
vator was from L. s. Graves & Son Of
New York.
This bank is one of the Oldest in the
city, for it was Incorporated as a State
bank in 1881 and Cyrus III. Beardsley,
Daniel Sterling, Jeremiah Sturges, Jede-
Gliah Graves, Enoch Foote were appoint
ed commissioners to raise funds by sub
scription. How well they succeeded is
shown by the fact that, by the terms of
the charter, the bank was obliged to pay
$500 to Yale and $500 to Washington,
now Trinity college, within - months
after commencing business and to repeat
it the second year. Notwithstanding
these slight drawbacks, the project grew
and prospered. In due time, branch
was established in Southport, which still
exists and fiourishes, under the name of
the Southport National bank, of which
f. C. Sherwood is president and O. Il.
Sherwood cashier. In 1885, the bank was
nationalized, under the present name.
For season, it abode on the corner of
Wall and Water streets, but removed in
1884 to Wall and Main, where lot had
been purchased. No change was made
until 1885, when, as already described,
the old building was torn down and the
new block built. This, with the land on
which it stands, cost $751; 900. During
the existence of the bank, these gentle
men have acted as president: Capt Eze-
kiel Hubbell, Daniel Thatcher, r. C. Cal
houn, Hervey Highly, D. II. Sterling, s..
w. Baldwin. Notwithstanding the long
life of the bank, it has had but three
cashiers, Charles Foote, John 7. Shelton
and the present incumbent, Henry B..
Drew, who has been connected with the
bank for more than "a years.
The bank has always enjoyed an UNI
limited measure of prosperity and the
capital stock is now 1892, 100; April 80,
1888, there was a surplus fund of $780,
600 and $20,6 Al of undivided profits.

THE BUSINESS OF THE BLOCK.

The West End Floral Gardens. whose
down town office is in the corner store,~
is one of the recently established and
thriving enterprises of the city. The
green houses at West End, said TO be the
largest in the city, are filed with all the
choicest plants and flowers. G. f. Keith,
the manager, has had long experience in
this line and makes speciality Of designs
for funeral, wedding and similar occas-
ions. The recent chrysanthemum shows
in neighboring cities have aroused in
creased interest in this flower and the
West End Gardens have many new and
choice varieties. TO obtain an adequate
idea of the extent and comprehensivenes
of the floral resources of this establish
ment, one should visit the greenhouses
on Clinton avenue. They cover large
territory and are well worth visit from
any one interested In horticulture. Any
variety Of plants or cut flowers may be
found here, while, in the season for roses,
the display Is simply bewildering. Be-
sides the great mass OF business, which,
OF course, lies within the city limits,
many orders come by mail from adjoin-
ing villages, where the fame Of the gar
dens has already penetrated. An added
impetus IL given to this branch OF the
business by the fact that, when plants "
cut flowers are sent BY mail or express,
transportation charges are invariably
