blur until they came into a wide, open place where the wind blew free above wall with a great many gates.
 In the middle of this open place a huge gray building stood, staring out over the housetops-a great cathedral, wonderful and old. Its walls were dark with time and smoke and damp, and the lofty tower that rose above it was in part but hollow shell split by lightning and blackened by fire But crowed between its massive buttresses were booths and chapmens stalls; against It's hoary side a small church leaned like child against a mothers breast; and in and around about 1t eddied a throng of men like ants upon a busy hill.
 All around the outer square were shops with gilded fronts and most amazing signs; golden angels with out stretched wings tiger heads, bears, brazen serpents, and silver cranes; and in and out of the shOp-dOOrs darted apprentices with new-bOund books and fresh-printed slips; for this was old St, PauPs, the meeting place of London town, and in Paurs Yard the printers and the bookmen dealt.

The collapse of bank is always public calamity, the evil consequences of which can never be measured in mere pecuniary loss. It requires some thing besides columns of figures to ad- equately represent the deplOrable re- suits of such a catastrophe as the wrecking of the Globe Savings Bank of Chicago. The damage to business in the resultant loss of confidence in bank ing institutions and the general demor- aliZation of the credit structure upon which 90 per cent. of our transactions are based cannot be accurately calcu- lated in figures. The failure of the Globe Savings Bank reveals startling record of official perfidy and dishonOr. Seldom does a mere business collapse disclose such a depth of moral rotten ness involving such gross betrayals of trusts that men ordinarily hold sacred. The story of the wreck is black with the most corrupt political jObbery. The deeper 1t Is probed the more offensive becomes the stench to the nostrils of honest men. The State of Illinois should probe the affair to the bottom to the end that tbe blame for the deplora- ble condition of affairs may be placed where it belongs and the culpable par ties severely punished. The interests of honest banking, the interests of the State institutions whose funds were jeopardized, and the rights of those whose savings were engulfed in the maelstrOm of political jObbery ana criminal peculatiOn, all demand that the investigation be made rigidly and promptly. The people desire to know if they have any protection in law from such fragrant betrayals of trust by those who have committed to them the savings of the poor and the funds of State institutions.

Paris is excited over an American style of robbery, which has just struck that town. The story is told by the Paris correspondent of the New York Sun: 'The proprietor of a fine restau- rant of certain class was the victim of a third swindle, though twas more a joke than a fraud. 4 party of four young bloods dined one evening, not wisely but too we'll and too expensive ly, at his establishment. After a mag nificent repast in a private room there was a dispute about who should pay and the proprietor was sent for. Each of the diners declared that he was there as the guest of the other three. The dispute went on in a jOcose fashion until the restaurant keeper threatened to call the police unless his money was forthcoming. The four young men were annoyed at this suggestion. 'IS that the way you treat gentlemen" exclaim- ed one of the party. Now, see here. Since we are out for a lark propose that we blindfold you, MT. Proprietor, and the one of Us whom you catch first will pay for the supper and for two more bottles of champagne" The res taurant keeper agreed. He was secure ly blindfOlded, and he grOped about the apartment in vain for a quarter of an hour. Then he pulled off the bandage to find that the four revelers had fled.

STATESMAN OUT OF A JOB.
Phase of Their Lives Unknown to tn:
 General Public.

Phase or Their Lives OnknOWn 10 the
 General Public.
 The recent death of Daniel w. Voor- hees gives peculiar interest to the fol lowing bit of correspondence by Wm. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record:
 During the closing hours of the Eff ty-fOurth Congress three members of the "Millionaires' Club" as the Senate has often been called, were sitting in committeeman cOndOling with each other over the expiration of their public life. Said one of them, and he came from an Eastern State: Il have an offer from a business concern to look after its business interests in Washing ton which will pay me about as much as my Senatorial salary, and think will accept 1t. If l do, however, l shall have to give Up all hope of reelection and consider my political career ended"
 "I would be mighty glad to give up my political prospects" said No. 2, who had been in public life for more than a third of a century, flor such a job. or anything else for that matter that will bring me bread and butter. have lost all my practice, and 1t will be mighty hard work to get 1t back again. I haven't the slightest encouragement for the future The only thing l can do is to go back home, work in my gar den and raise enough vegetables to feed my family. l have decided to try 1t, and wait for something to turn up"
 II have no home to go to, have no garden to work, and haven't money to pay my expenses there if had one, said Senator VoOrheeS, who was the third member of the group. T have been in public life since 1S61," he con- thirty-siX years, and all the money I have Is in my pocket this morning. I don't know what l am go. ing to do," and in melancholy tones, often with sob in his voice, the ven erable Senator described the hopeless ness of his future.
 It was only few days ago that Sen ators German and Allison were discus sing Mr. Voorhees, situation and trying to contrive some method by which he could be made comfortable for the rest of his life They could see no way to give him a pension. There was no posi- tiOn on the government list to which he could be appointed. So the only thing to be done was to create one with duties that would not be too irkSOme for a man of his feeble health and salary sufficient. to keep the wolf from his door. The situation of Mir. Voorhees is not unique. There are several mem bers of the Senate whose financial con- dition would answer the description he gave of his own, and yet that body is called the "millionaireS' club"

advantage over her Western sister in | that her education began at a much earlier age and her teacher was more adept than Miss Haguewoods jnstruc- | tor.
 Linnie was born at Ida Grove, Iowa, and, like Helen, was a perfectly normal child up to her 18th month. Az that | time she was stricken with a spinal dis ease and when she recovered 1t was
 found that she had lost the senses of sight and hearing totally. She lived in world without sound and practically never having heard the human voice she was unable to speak, nOtwithStaBd- | ing that the muscles and nerves used in articulating were in nOwise injured.
 But Linnie's parents, unlike those of Miss Kellar, were not rich, and were unable to engage special teachers for her. Indeed, they did not know that their child could be rescued from the awful solitude ill which she lived until she was nearly II years old.
 Until she was 14 years old Miss Haguew0od was cared for like an in- fant. She was unable to walk and could not communicate a single thought to any human being. At 14 she was placed in an asylum for the blind at Vinton, Iowa, and there Miss Dora Donald, one of the teachers, became deeply interested i'll the girl. A sub scription was opened for the purpose of educatin Linnie, the Iowa Legislature appropriated $500, and Miss DOnaM at once devoted all her time to her. For { three years she had instructed the help less girl and recently brought her to the Deaf and Dumb Institution at Sioux Falls. The methods she has followed are those employed by Miss Sullivan In teaching Helen Kellar. She Is now teaching her how to talk. Lipnie places her delicately sensitive fingers on the mouth of her teacher Miss Donald then enunciates q sound and the pupil endeavors to initiate 1t. One sound is repeated hundreds of times until 1t ap- breaches perfection, and then another is tried. The various sounds are then combined. and the result is articulate speech. Miss Donald readily under stands what her charge says, but others cannot.
 Miss HaguewoOd is able to cut and sew her own garments, to write letters on a typewriter, to read readily her Sunday school paper and her Bible and to write slowly on the tablets which are provided for the blind. By her delicate sense of touch she is able to recognize her friends. and even to re- member on second meeting those whom she has noticed before. She is able to recognize at the first touch those whom she knows well. She is passionately fond of flowers, of dress and jewelry. It was only until recently that Linnie began to realize that she differed in any respect from the ordinary human being

Washington Well Fortified.

In view of the fact that the natiOna capital was once taken and burned by foreign enemy, it is reassuring tC know that a calamity so humilating is not likely to occur again, even in case of sudden war.
 Washington is the best defended city in the country A hostile fleet could not now ascend the Potomac, as was done in 1S14, when President Madison and bis wife were compelled to make q hurried escape across the Potomac to avoid capture by the British.
 For military and prudential reasons little has been allowed to be made known concerning the new works and the heavy ordnance recently installed below the city; but for the past two years engineers have been busy at the river forts. Some very formidable guns are now in position there, and a system of torpedo defenses perfected which would render the approach of an enemy's Warships, within twelve miles of Washington, practically impossible
 The defensive works are located at the "elbOW," or turn, of the Potomac where old Forts Washington and SLeri- dan stood, and where at one point the channel for vessels of deep draught is but 300 yards wide,
 The guns are prlt-c cted on the water side by emplacc-Aent walls of stone and concrete seventy feet thick, and on the land side by redOubts for infantry.
 The rapidly increasing wealth and importance of Washington, the graud new public buildings and the vast sulEs of money and bullion ill the treasury render these protective and defensive measures a matter of national import ance and necessity.

Near by are standards, ordnance and other symbols of war: VOn Moltke has been dead just six years. Germany is rather prompt in erecting monuments to its heroes, and the wonder is that the gallant field marshal has not been pub licly honOred in this way before this time. Just before his death Van Moltke was the recipient of signal hOnOrs by the German people. It was In 1890, on the pinetIeth anniversary of his birth. Berlin took q holiday and celebrated the birth of the hero of the French cam- paign with great pomp and glory. The field marshal had been member of the Prussian army since 1922.

Sla0 Bricks.

The manufacture of bricks from fur mace slag is an important Bohemian industry, the granulated slag mixed with caustic lime hardening to q ce- ment-like mass, from which the bricks are made, weighing about ten pounds each. Such bricks will bear, theOreti- cally, thirty-eight pounds per square centimeter, though practically, twenty five pounds is the limit of the burden put upon it; hence 1000 bricks can be safely piled above each other without any danger that the bottom one will be crushed by the weight, and the broad side of the brick will bear burden of 10000 pounds.

The promptneSs with which water runs from cleared lands is illustrated in the AdirondackS this year. On those mountains wherever the trees have been removed is not even a flake of snow. It has all been melted and rushed down to swell the rising streams. On the mountains where the trees are still left there is yet snow to a depth of eighteen inches which will gradually melt as the weather be- coomes warm, sink into the ground and through the springs of the adjacent val leys feed streams when they will need feeding

"Excellencies," as all travellers know, are dirt cheap in Europe, for every lib eral man is so called by all the servants and peasants in Italy and the other Latin countries. Only one American at d time, of all our seventy-odd mil lions, is entitled to be so called. That person is the Governor of Massachu- sets. He is so by constitutional pro- vision of the Commonwealth. Not even the President of the United States is entitled to be so addressed. This mat ter was settled more than century ago in the convention which framed our Constitution.

 One of the most talked about young men in the country to-day Is Garter H. Harrison, who was elected Mayor of Chicago by a phenomenal majority. Naturally his wife and family are also coming in for large share of attention.
 Mrs, Harrison Is a charming woman of the Southern type of beauty. She was Miss Edith Ogden, daughter of Judge Robert N. Ogden of the United States Court of Appeals in Louisiana: Her parental home Is at New Orleans and she usually spends her winters in the South MT. and Mrs. Harrison first met at the old Harrison home in Chi eago, where, during a visit to her Chi cago cousins, sine attended reception. In December, 1887, they were married at the home of Judge Ogden in New Orleans. They have two ehildren-Car- ter H., the third (the seventh of that name in the family, now years old. The other Is a bright little daughter, Edith Ogden, 15 months old. Mrs, Har-
