TESTIMONIAL TO COL. sRIrroN.
He Is Presented with q Handsome silver
Service and an Address.

Service and an Address.
A pleasant incident took place today in the
directors room OF the American Security aud
Trust Company. At the close Of the business
meeting of the directors the president, Mr..
Charles j. Bell, arose, and, addressing Mr.. Al
Britton. who recently retired from the Office
of president, told him how much bis asso-
ciates on the board of directors appreciated
his services as well as how much they though,
of him personally. He made a very happy
little speech in this strain and then presented
to Mr.. Britton in the name of the board of
directors a handsome silver tea set. Accom-
panying this gift was the following testimonial
finely engrossed, with the autograph signature
Of every member of the board of directors ap-
pended:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 20. 1898.
To Col. A. I. BrittonS
Dear Sir: We, your associates for over three
wears in the organization and management OF
the American Security and Trust Company,
cannot permit you 20 retire from the position
OF its head without some expression on our
part OF the appreciation IN which we hold You
AS a man and officer and the effective work
which you have achieved in creating and build.
ing mp to its present high position this i'm
portant financial institution.
You entered upon the enterprise of opening
to our people the benefits OF this to them, new
department of fnanciering, and thus added
another obligation to the many under which
you have already placed your fellow-citizens by
your public services.
The readiness with which the large sum
called for as capital was subscribed showed the
deserved confidence with which you were re-
garded in this community, u confidence which
the result has more than justified.
Unexpectedly the position of head Of the
newly created company left vacant and
yielding to the unanimous and urgent solicita-
ton OF its members you. at great sacrifice to
your private interests. accepted the Office. but
only on the understanding that your holding
was to be temporary.
For over three years we have watched the
new enterprise grow and prosper under your
fostering care until now il stands another
monument to your executive ability, and we re-
greet that your large business interests render il
necessary for you now to resign the presidency.
Az a memorial of our sentiments We beg you
TO accept the testimonial which accompanies
this letter, and with it our most earnest thanks
FOR your services as our president, esteem for
you as man and citizen, and welcome to you
as Il brother director ON our board, in which
last position We trust that many years to come
will still find you exercising the pre-emInent
ability from which our company has already
received so great benefit.
Col. Britton in his reply showed that he wa,
not lasensible to the kind words that had been
uttered or to the substantial gift which accom-
panied the words.

THE CITY POST OFFICE.
Superintendent Stewart Denies That q
Foundations Are Insecure.

Superintendent Stewart Denies That the
Foundations Are Insecure.
Mr.. Stewart, superintendent of construc-
ton OF the city post Office, makes an emphatic
denial Of the statement that the foundations of
that building are insecure ard unsafe. In a
recent interview On this subject he described
the strengthening of the foundation with piles
and concrete aud then said: The ground into
which these piles were driven was very firm,
and, of course, after having nearly 1000 piles
driven into it is much more compact regard
the foundation of the building as absolutely
safe. Several practical builders have told me
that the ground with about four feet OF con-
crete on it would have beer annie for n
foundation. and surely with 1000 piles, the
solid cross caps and thirty-nine inches of con-
crete it should be safe beyond doubt"

EFFECTS OF SURPRISE.

Deafness and Loss of Speech Attribut ed
to Sudden JOY or Grief
Sir William Dalby, consulting aural
surgeon to St. Georges Hospital in Lon
don. has been noting down some strange
incidents in practice"-that is to say, cer-
tain cases within his own experience as
medical practitioner-wnich he confesses
himself unable to account for by any
course of cause and effect wi th which the
profession can be said to be accurately
familiar. The most curious have refer
ence to the effects of emotion on the vari-
Gus senses. One is that OF u lady stand
ing before her toilet table, and looking
through an open door into her husbands
dressing room, when she saw in the mir
ror the reflection OF her husband in the
act of cutting his throat. From that mo-
ment she was absolutely deaf.
A similarly sudden and complete loss
of bearing happened some years latter to
a young married lady who was suddenly
confronted with her husbands dead
body at time when she believed him to
be quite well. ana when she was to meet
him after q long absence. On various
occasions Sir William Dalby has noted
the remarkable effect produced upon the
hearing by emotional influences, not only
by great mental shocks, but by mental
strain. He knows not only sudden grief.
but also overwhelming joy, instantly to
make a person quite deaf.
Sir William Dalby has known the sense
of smell to be lost by very strong emo
tionaI influence, aud with the sense of
taste. A remarkable instance Of loss OF
a faculty is that OF brother physician,
who, in boyhood. found himself suddenly
deprived Of the power of speech. He was
q man of middle age aud robust appear
ance. His hearing was perfect. and he could
understand all that was said. but his re-
plies were always communicated by pen
Gil and paper. One day this physician
had returned as suddenly az 1t had
originally left MIN. He added that he
was unable to ascribe the recovery TO any
cause, and Sir William aDalby confessed
that IS experience does not enable him
TO offer any explanation.
