fhe origin Of this institution was as
peculiar as its management is unusual.
ICON after the nominal union of Nor
way and Sweden, in 1914, the latter
country began to feel the need of great
er money facilities to meet the demands
OF the rapidly increasing commerce.
The problem Of securing the necessary
capital for great national institution
was very simple one for the Nor
wegian government
1t raised stockholders for the bank
just as it raised soldiers for its armies.
livery well to do citizen was compelled
to take so much stock. He was always at
Flberty to take more if be chose, but al
ways in amounts divisible by. five.
Bookkeeping was made easy On q new
principle, in accordance with which
sums ending in other figures than five
and zero were to be excluded from the
books.
This national bank is also a pawn
shop. 1t is authorized by law to lend
money on any nonperishable goods, pro-
vided they can be deposited in the bank
and kept under lock and key. For this
service it charges rather less than the
usual pawnbroker's interest, which
may perhaps account for the rarity Of
private pawnshops in Norway In the
regular loan department the curious
rule is enforced that loans may not be
made for less than one month nor for
more than six and only for sums Of at
least $l2O.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

PYLE AND HIS CHANGES.
IT is SAID THAT HE WILL CARRY
FOUR OF THE FIVE DISPUTED
PRECINCTS.

FOUR OF THE FIVE DISPUTED
PRECINCTS.
AS many persons do not seem to un-
derstand the existing status of the con-
trOversy between State Senator John
Pyle and Thomas N. Stayton over the
Democratic nomination for state sem
ator, it may be we'll to briefly review it.
The County Committee accepted the
returns from the Third, Fifth, Seventh
Eighth, Ninth and Tenth wards, to-
gether with those from the northern
precinct of the First, the eastern pre-
cinct of the Second and the western
precinct of the Fourth. 1t threw ou
all returns from the Sixth and Elev
enth wards; the southern precinct of
the First; the western precinct of the
Second and the eastern precinct of the
Fourth.
With all these thrown out, Pyle has a
majority of 271 over Stayton. 1t is
likely that Pyle will carry four out of
the five precincts in dispute as they
are the strongholds of his friends.
Stayton will carry the Sixth if he stays
in the fight until next Saturday, but
the Eleventh, and the disputed pre-
cinets in the First, Second and Fourth
wards will undoubtedly give Pyle a ma
jority which the Sixth cannot by any
means overcome.
Some of Stayton's friends are al
ready advising him to stand aside and
not go into another election in which
he has no possible chance of winning,
and before next Saturday arrives he
may act upon their suggestion.

thy with Mr.. Bryan, this evening wrote
Tor publication a communication in his
defence He Is not a Democrat nor a
silyerite, but he attended the Bryan
meeting and heard what was said about
the clergy. He said that Mr.. Bryan
did not include all the clergy i'm the
structures, but only some of them, and
that some preachers, as Mr. Bryan
charged, have not as much sympathy
Tor the poor and do not minister Ia
their wants as they should. He saws
he took no offense at the remarks. but
inquired OF himself whether IL had any
application to him and whether he was
doing his duty to the poor"
The communication referred to was
sent to the Every Evening yesterday.
1t did not appear in that paper, but
the substance Of it appeared this morn
ing in the shape OF a Wilmington dis
patch to the Philadelphia Record. We
have nothing to do with how the Rec
ord got the substance before the Every
Evening got the matter, but we are
glad that Mr.. Morgan has come out
in such manly way against his bro
theirs of the cloth who plunged so fran
tically into unwarranted criticism and
distortion and Misrepresentation of
what Mr.. Bryan said.

The student athletes were liftt- upon

taken to carriages in waiting and from
there were drawn by students to the
head of the great procession which
had formed. Every building and res
