CHICAGO, May 4.-The two bronze
lions erected on the pedestals in front
of the Fine Arts institute Monday and
Tuesday are swathed ia canvas aud the
public will not be allowed TO see them
until May 10, when the annual exhibit
of the Artists Sketch club opens
These lions are the Gift OF Mrs. Henry,
Field, who promised them before her
husbands death, and who, since his
death, has bestowed upon the insti-
tute his S30c, 900 collection of modern
French paintings. The artist is Ed
ward Kemeys, who modelled the wild
animals on the pedestals Of the exposi-
tion. They we're cast by the American
Bronze company at Grand junction.
They weigh three tons each, are ten
feet high and fifteen feet long, and are
the largest lions ever modelled in a
standing posture. "These lions," said
Mr. Kemeys, "are conceived as guard
ing the building. The one at the south
sented as having his attention at.
tracted by something in the distance
which he is closely watching. The
other one is represented as having dis
covered something which displeases
him. and he has his back mp and is
ready for roar and spring. They
cost $4,000. They were unveiled
awhile yesterday that Mrs. Page might
get her first look Mt them and she was
delighted with them"

WASHINGTON. May 4.-Commssioner
OF Labor Carroll ID. Wright has sub
initted his ninth annual report, dealing
with building and loan associations in
the United States. Vermont, which has
but one association, is the only sta to
not included in the report. The total
number OF associations in the country
is shown to be 5,s3s, of which 8, 1898 are
local and 240 national.
The total number of shareholders Is
1,745,7?5, of which 1864 are male.
The average number of shareholders Is
sol. The number of shareholders who
are borrowers is 455.4l1, or 26A per
cent. There are 1925, s73 shares held,
of which 10, ,3sl, ,03l are in local and the
remainder in national organizations.
The average number of shares held per
shareholder Is ~. The total net as
sets are S450, 667, 500. of which s4l3 ,647,-
22s are in local organizations. The net

The different methods of distributing
profits, paying premiums, withdrawing
shares, aud laws OF the different states
are described in the six chapters which
constitute the report The average age
Of the association is little over six
years.
The figures show, says the report
that the building and loan associations
Of the country are entirely modern in
stitutions and have reached their great
proportions within the last ten or If
teen years. This. in competition with
the fact that they have net assets OF
over $3.50. 900, 900, have made total pro-
fits of more than $50, 900, 900. helped Tn
secure probably over 400,0O homes,
and are semibanking institutions, con-
ducted by ordinary men unframed as
bankers, shows conclusively the strong
hold which building and loan associ.
atoms have taken upon the public.
