The Exchange BuIlding Again,


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CoURIERi would like to correct some of the statements of MT. c. s. A. Davis in re- gard to the Exchange Building" The original name was "EXchange Place" " I was a clerk in one of the stores from 1883 to 1S4O. l.. H. Young, bookseller and publisher occupied No. on Church street; George Gabriel umbrella manu- facturer, No. ?; Nathaniel Olmsted & Son, jewellers, No. g. This store was oc- cupied as a hat store for a short time previously. Smith & Graves had the corner store. l do not recall the name of the first occupant of the store next to the corner of Chapel street. The second store was "The Good Samaritan" drug store kept by Peters & Buell., after wards by Dr. William T. Peters alone. Dr. Peters was a son-in-law of Ithiel Town, the architect. Next to the drug store came Parkis & highlands hat store, and last the City bank.
 The Atheneum reading room was di- rectly over the book store of MT Young and he styled his place of business "The Atheneum Book Store" Oliver Bryan did not occupy No, till 1S49 Bryan & BalD, and was succeeded by his son, William D. Bryan. The whole of the upper story of the building was occupied by a museum. In the cupola was moving panorama, by which one could get fine view of the city. Un- der the museum on the Chapel street side was a good sized hall used for lectures and concerts. After the mu- scum was removed the floor over the hall was taken away, which made a fine place for theatrical performances. The original hall was occupied for a time by "The Free Church Society,"" which I believe was the foundation of the present College street church.

pictured herewith, and consists of red mirror velvet draped with large headed jet pins and trimmed with a pompon and an aigrette.
 Very wide brim black velvet hats are enriched by inlaying of lace de- signs on the brim; that is, the lace is laid carefully on the brim and the vel vet is cut out beneath. The effect is little draughty for winter, but lace is now the right thing on hats draught or not draught. It seems impossible to put too many colors on a hat. Indeed, the more that are put on the surer the woman behind will be that the hat Is just over" After the hat is trimmed then tuck on a bunch of violets most anywhere, and it will be quite correct. Steel is again in vogue, and hats are set on steel bands that lie against the hair. Then steel ornaments appear on the very latest bonnets. and steel buckles share with rhinestones the pop ularity of the hour. Another new trim ming is not unlike the little beastie so long in service about the neck. It's head and tail meet in a knot and bunch of feathers. a flare of lace or few violets completes an effectAthat is recognized as just right. Artificial vio- let's and real ones are found on the same costumes. The maid with bunch of cotton violets in the mouth of the little beastie at her neck, and a bunch of silk ones under the brim of her hat, wears cluster of the genuinemrticles at her throat and adopts manner that deceives any but mind reader into the notion that the whole lot of her violet show Is real.

Men and Women in New York.

1 lrIpA I1uIpcI D NSchiJsI
 The census reveals some curious facts about the distribution of New York's excess of women. New York city has 10000 of them; Brooklyn IT, oOo; Albany, 5,5oO Troy. 5,OoO Utica, 5000; Rochester, 4,OOO; Syracuse, HOO. They are all, practically, in the larger cities of the state, the one exception being Buffalo, which has 4,000 more men than women. It would be interest ing to know more about these 4,0O0 su- perfluous Buffalo men, whether they are Polaeks, Italians, lake sailors, ca nal-boatmen, or merely lively young bachelors from the country in the west ern part of the state who have gone to Buffalo to seek their fortunes. New York city's business opportunities, which attract crowds of men, seem to attract quite as many women. Yet the excess of women in New York is com paratively small. The city has 45 wo- men to every A men, while Brooklyn has 26 women to every 25 men, and Troy II women to every 10 men. Why should 1t happen that in the suburban counties nearest New York there should be more men than women? It would seem that of the population drawn by the metropolis to this end of the state the unmarried men would nearly all live in the cities. and the dwellers in the suburbs would for the most part be people with families. Yet the suburban counties all show an excess of men--1,300 in Westchester, 1,70O in Richmond and 2,300 in Queens.

After joining the bag together, gather at the bottom and sew to the card board, distributing the gathers as evenly as possible. Make a shirr at the top, and draw up with yellow silk tape, three yards of which will be need ed for the purpose. If the predomina- ting colors of the picture are rich, the effect of these, with the red of the lin ing and the yellow of the draw-strings, Is very Oriental.
 The writer has used one of these lit tie bags for years, and it shows as yet few signs of wear, the colors being as bright as at first. Twilled Turkey red may be used for lining instead of the silk, but the latter is far more durable, and will prove more satisfactory in every way

 Dutch bonnets are all the rage. They are no more than a band of velvet with strip of fur on the edge, perhaps, and that fits over the top of the head. The band Is as wide as the hand at the top of the head and narrows slightly towards the ends. It finishes with big rosette at each end, coming just above the ears. For the street these bonnets show fur to match the cloak, and for theater wear lace and a delicate satin, or a row of flowers is used. The band should set well back on the forehead, and must lie perfectly fiat. Another current sort of velvet headwear is

Some years ago the outlines of the well-known picture, Rock of Ages, were discovered in one of the marble blocks of the Philadelphia city hall, and so many people gathered every day to look at it that the authorities painted the stone over as the only way of keeping the crowd away. Time and the elements have worn off the paint, the picture has once more been discovered and again the crowds throng the courtyard to see the thing. In fact, the crowds are great CT now than ever, as threat to again paint the stone over has whetted the curiosity of those who have heard of the peculiar formation.

Dover, New Hampshire, one of the prettiest of the smaller cities of New England, is reported to be one of the largest consumers of snuff among all the cities of the country. The popula- tion is something like ten thousand, and last year more than five tons of this form of tobacco was used there. The habit of snuff dipping is not usual in New England, and it was brought to Dover, so it is said, by soldiers just af- fer the war, and has increased to its present proportions.

IT IS INSTRUCTIVE. The Financ;er's Analysis of the Bank Statement.
 S SOME AN sSALoUs ASPECTS Where : That $l6,ooo.ooo Leg / Tenders? Gold Is ,S lot Hoarded.
SOME AN syALoUs ASPECTS

NEW YORK, April 6.-The Financier says the bank statement was expected 10 show some heavy changes, as the week which it covers marked the end of the first quarter of the year, with consequent payments of interest and dividends, aud also large ge treas- ury disbursements.
 The decrease of s2 ,S95, 800 in loaps aud decrease of $4l7 ,9J0 in deposits are there- fore anomaious, but what became of the $l, 107, 700 in specie which went out of the banks is not so clear. 1t is probably the result of shifting gold held by banks on treasury accounts, and at this time has no special meaning. Legal tenders for the first time in weeks show an increase. The banks gained during the week over S1, ,O0O, ,000 by the interior movement and S1 ,500 900 from sub-tressury operations.
 This may explain the gain in legal ten ders, but the Increase means probably as much as anything else that the bond syndi- cate has locked up as much money as 1t needs Tor the present. The banks In less than i've weeks have lost nearly $16 ,000, 900 In legal tenders, the present whei bouts of which IS mystery, as treasury staLe-. ments do not solve the problem. The ef- off the market. In addition, the gold hold ings are over $5, GOO, ,000 less than on March this year, ana the amount of specie and legal tenders in the banks are more nearly equal than ever before, the difference being only S10, ,000, ,000 in favor of the legal tenders.

able basis. He explained that the Seaboard had reduced the rate from Atlanta to Ports mouth, Va, from 25 cents more than to Rich mond to $1. 80 lower than to Richmond.
 Mir. Haas WAS recalled and questioned by Commissioner Morrison as to what good iG would do the Southern road if it was allowed to cut its rates. He would not put himself on record as to what rate the Southern would make if 1t were allowed to cut, but 1t certainly would not be lower than the present Seaboard rates. 1t was necessary in self-defense for the Southern to reduce rates to keep the Sea board from getting it's business away. It twould be no use for the Southern to cut it's rates after 1t had lost it's patronage.
 Commissioner Morrison wanted to know what was 10 prevent passenger from buy ing a ticket in New York to Atlanta under cut rate of $14 aud getting of at Green vile, 10 which point the rate from New York was $21, although the distance was shorter, and then buying a ticket to Att lanta. MT. Haas laugningly replied that he would not like to answer that question, unless lCommis, ,ner Morrison insisted, but that there was way la prevent such thing. Commissioner Morrison did not insist.
 h brief argument Mir. Watts admitted that the cut rate was established by the Seaboard as a retaliation against the Southern railroad because the former had been forced out of the Southern Steamship and Railway assoc alton and thu lost much of It's freight business.
 This concluded the case, and the matter was taken under advisement by the com mission.

The voting for the city election for the first time was done, as per recent leg islative act, under the Australian plan, in booths.
