man from CasS, being an article of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, does not say that a bank,
in order to be safe, must be a stock com
pany, but it tries to demonstrate that a
bank which is examined and publishes
statements of its resources and liabilities
offers more security to the depositor than
the bank which is not examined and which
makes no statements. OF course this Sc
curlty will have to exist in the supposed
fact that the depositOr has an opportunity
to inform himself of the standing of the
bank. The fact alone that a bank
IS a stock company a certainly not be a
special inspiration of confidence to the
business man. Any n who knows any
thing must know that incorporation means
limited liability. The gentleman from
Trail inquiries how much capital a man
must have to enable him to do a banking
business under this act. This bill does
not dictate to any American citizen how
ness, but it provides for a plan by which
we can find out how much actual capital
there is in his business. l would also say
to the gentleman that the law now upon
our statute books permits a man to do
banking business, so to say. in the name
of the state of North Dakota. with a capt.
tai of $4,000, which may consist of an old
or new building estimated to be worth
$1,000, a p1omisorv note for $1,000 running
for three months and being renewed every
three months, and say 81, 900 actual CAPT
tai. This is the creation by the state of
North Dakota of a jOiut stock company for
banking purposes with a capital of $1,000,
and OF limited liability. is there any sense
or any security in such a creation: | can
not see 1t, and would much prefer to
deal with a private individual with $4,000
actual cash capital and absolute liability.

THAT good -natured little speech OF Col.

with the facetiOuS univerSity-remOval bill

stead $11, 600 for each year or $4,000. But
the bill got through and has been signed by

The Morris-Filkins story.

The charges which are alleged to have
been made against Felix Morris, the we'll
known leading man of Rosina Vckes' Com
edy Company, by Miss Grace Filkins, an
ex-member of the company, are disbelieYed
by his many Chicago friends. In substance
the telegraphic report which was sent to the
Herald OF Friday stated that Miss Filkins
declared she had been much abused by Mr.
Morris; that he threw her violently on the
stage during performance in Denver, tear
ing her sleeve and brulsing her. She fur
Their said that he had used violent language
to her and insulted her on several occasions,
and that she was compelled by such treat
ment to give up her engagement with the
company.
"There must be some mistake in that story -
said prominent Chicago gentleman who is in
timalely acquainted with Mr.. Morris and who
has for tong time been associated with him.
Felix Morris Is uol that kind OF a man. Wby
lie Is not at all seif-asserLive and is one of The
most generous and whole-souled men | ever
knew. II IL were no. for his wife he would be a
poor man Today, for lie never met with refusal

OF the nature of the alleged grievances,
adds the Chicago Sunday Herald, parLicu-
larry as to the Insults" nothing has been
learned. There could be no professional
jealousy in the matter, certainly, for Mr.
Morris would have no more reason to be
jealous of Miss Filkins than would Nine

pany. Mr.. Morris is the artist of the COM

AN ARTISTS ANTIQUE.
How He Transformed His Aunps Old
Piano Into a Work of Art.


Piano Into a Work of Art.
Among the young artists in this city there
is one who would have won the heart of
Henri Murger and be a bright particular
star in the mad Bohemian circle which that
man brought about him. For he is bona
fide bohemian, is this young fellow, reck-
less, brilliant, genius-gifted, irresponsible
chap, who will surely end, as Murger said
of the type which he so ably represents,
either in the academy or the Morgue.
About two months ago a wealthy aunt
Joined the great majority and, much to the
surprise of the artist and his friends left
him nothing but her blessing and piano.
A full-grown white elephant would have
been preferable; he could have sold it.,
while the piano could not be disposed of
even at the most absurdly low price.
1t was of a very Old-fashioned make and
design, and the time spent in trying to find a
purchaser was simply wasted. As there
wasn't room for it in the garrett, which
serves the young artist as a studio and
home, it was carried away to a friend S
apartments and a council of war held con-
corning it.
Yesterday the piano turned up in the shop
OF swell dealer in antiques. Every space
upon 1t which admits of decorations has
been covered with the daintiest of pictures
in the style of Vatican and Boucher, and
the instrument as it stands, might have been
played upon by Mime la POmpadour or any
of her fair and fragile contemporaries.
The price OF this exquisite work Of art is
$4,000, and the artist and those of his friends
who assisted HIM in the scheme are lying
low and awaiting developments.

FINANCE COMMITTEE.
A Plan to Abate the Abuse of the
M0rgue.

AT the meeting of the Finance Committee
OF the Board of Supervisors yesterday the
protest of the Women's Society for the
Correction of Public Abuses against al
legged abuses at the Morgue was again taken
up for consideration.
Supervisor Ebert reported that he bad in
spected the old Morgue building in Dunbar
alley and found some foundation for the
report that bodies OF females are not prop
erly handled. There is no money to pro-
vide for the appointment of matron to
superintend the handling of deceased
women, and so the Board of Supervisors can
at present make no provision Tor the correc-
tiOn of the abuse.
The committee, however decided to rec
ommend that the New City Hall Commits
sioners set apart and fit up quarters in the
basement of the New City Hall for a suita-
bic public Morgue. with a suitable female
department.
1t was agreed to take no present action in
reference to tile books destroyed or dam
aged by the recent fire in the basement of
the Auditors Office, but at the end of the
fiscal year TO make provision for the rebind-
ing Of the damaged assessment rolls.
