Mr.. Nyman selected a form of transfer
ticket, which. he thought, would answer
every requirement. and sent his copy to
printer to get a bid for having the tickets
printed. Mr. Nyman was much surprised
to receive in reply letter stating that
tine form of ticket adopted by him was, in
the opinion of the printer, an infringement
of an existing patent.
Believing that there was some mistake in
the matter, Mr.. Nyman requested bid on
the work from another printer, but he was
again given the information that the tick
ct, as 1t was propC Sed to be issued, would
be an infringement OF an existing patent
Mr.. Nyman has written to the printer
first referred to to send him the number of
the patent and he WILL If he concludes to
have that sort of ticket printed, commu-
nicate with the patentee and ascertain the
views of that gentleman on the question
of royalty to be paid for the use of the in
vention. Meanwhile, however, Mr.. Ny
! man has devised an exceedingly unique and
attractive ticket.
There is universal regret on the part of
the employees of the Rock Creek Electric
Kan a Company that there is prospect
that the harmonious relations which have
for so long existed between the officers of
the line and themselves may have to be
severed by the consolidation of the road
with that of the Washington and George
| town railroad in the near future, and 1t
| is hoped by the men that the new owners
snail continue as many of their present
superior officers in the positions they now
mold as they can find 1t consistent to do.
1t is the general impression that Superin-
| tendent Herbert Claude will be kept in
charge of the Rock creek division and made
| an assistant to Mr.. Saller of the Washing
! ton and Georgetown railroad, who will. it
| is expected, be created general superin-
| tendent of all the lines of the new Capital
Traction Company.
The conductors and motormen of the
Rock Creek road are now paid 80 rer
| day CT nine hours, but it is their expecta-
ton that when the new regime goes into
effect their wages will be increased to 81
| per day. the amount now paid by the
Washington and Georgetown to it's grip
men and motormen.

AN UNDERGROUND CITY.
Interesting Discovery Made by Rus.
sian Explorers in Asia.

Interesting Discovery Made by Rus
sian Explorers in Asia.
From Iordon Public Opinion.
The Russians have made a singular dis
coyery in Central Asia. In Turkestan, on
the right bank of the Amou Daria, is a
chain of rocky hills near the Bokharan
town of Karki, and a number of large
caves which, upon examina tion were found
to lead to an underground city, built ap-
parently long before the Christian era.
According to eftigies, inscriptions and de-
signs upon the gold and silver money I'M
earthed from among the ruins, the exist
ence of the town dates back to some two
centuries before the birth Of Christ. The
underground Bokharan city is about two
versts long, and is composed Of an enor-
nous labvrinth Of corridors, streets and
SQUARES, surrounded by houses and other
buildings two or three stories high. The
edificas contain all kinds of domestic uten-
sis, pots, urns, vases, and so forth. In some
of the streets falls Of earth and rock have
INSTRUCTED the passages, but, generally, the
visitor can walk about freely without SO
much as lowering his head.
The high degree Of civilization attained
by the inhabitants of the city is shown by
the fact that they built in several stories,
squares, and by the beauty OF the baked
clay and metal utensils. and Of the orna-
ments and coins which have been found.
It is supposed that long centuries ago this
city, so carefully concealed in the bowels
of the EARTH provided an entire popuia-
ton with a refuge from the incursions of
nousadic savages and robbers.

WOMEN AS BANKERS
Many Are Presidents of Financial Institu-
lions in the West.
Interesting Statistics Which VIII BE
Presented I'm the Report of the Con-
trolIer of the Currency.

Women WELD greater influence in the
financial operations of the country than the
people generally are aware of. This is
especially the case with banking affairs.
Few of the uninitiated realize how great an
interest the so-called weaker sex have in
bank capital, and the extent to which they
figure in the management of banking insti-
tItions as presidents, directors, sharehold-
ers and employees. The presidents of sever
al national banks in the west are women.
and the number of women acting as di-
rectors of financial Institutions is greater
than would lie imagined. The number hold
ing more subordinate places of trust and
responsibility runs well up in the hundreds
and is constantly on the increase. Women
ere naturally honorable and trustworthy
and they have displayed unusual shrawd-
ness and discretion in financial transactions.
They are faithful and conscientious, and
are proof against many of the temptations
that have often proved irresistible to
many of the male sex intrusted with the
funds of other people.
Interesting Statistics.
Mr.. Eckels, controller of the currency.
will devote a chapter of his Forthcoming
report to Congress to the growing interest
shown by women in the financial institu-
tens of the country. He has already com-
piled some interesting statistics on this
subject, covering both the national and
state banks, but they will not be accessible
for several weeks yet. At the date of his
last report the number of shares of ma
tional banks was 7,099,413, representing a
fetal valuation of s6SS 642, $40. OF these,
I, 1873, 772 shares, representing $1}O, 6S1, 49,,
were owned by women. The percentage of
shares is 24.4. and Of capital 1879. The
number of individual women holders of ma
tional bank stock was 7O607.
Confidence In National Banks.
1t is noted as somewhat singular that
women apparently have greater confidence
III national banks than in banks organized
under state laws. The total shares and
capital of the latter class Of institutions is
$.61SSOf and 1907, 15l, ZIG respectively. OF
this number, ,O9S shares, representing
$3S,O74,712 stand in the names of women.
The percentages are respectively 1873 and
12.4. and the Individual holders number
-, 1i6.
The women employees in the national
banks of the country are $685. and of the
state banks ISL. They receive total COM
pensation from national banks. SlS5,19T
and from state banks, S262S 41. The aver
age annual compensation of women in the
former institutions IS S1S5.11 and in the lat
ter $50 -. Estimating average dividends
from bank stock at six per cent, the wo-
men Of the country for year would re-
ceive an aggregate annual return from
their Investments in banks of more than
Sl0,Go0,0Uo.
