Receiver Amounted.

Chicago, Dee 3l.-Aftcr much litigation
in State and Federal courts, Judge Hanech
today appointed James FUrlong and Justice
Thomas Bradwel receivers for the Inter
national Building, Loan and Investment
Union ~ the instance of a Stockholdrr.
The association was recently reorgan-
lied. but the litigation crippled its re-
sources, and the withdra wing stockholders
are still clamoring for their money. Mis-
appropriation OF funds b. former Officers
is also alleged in the bill for receiver.

He WANTS 4 NEW BUILDING
Public Printer Benedict Submits
His Annual Report.
NO CHOICE AS TO THE SITE
Unless Congress Wants TO Return
to the Contract system 1t should
Erect and Equip a Model Estah-
Iishment Work Is Growing-No
Time to Waste.

The report OF the Public Printer, just
printed, has something to say about new
government printing office. Mr.. Benedict
devoted "A large part of his report two
years ago To the existing dangers, most Of
which he has succeeded in removing. The
necessity for further action is stated in
this years report, as follows:
1t is not intended to convey the i'm
preston by anything previously stated that
the improvements affect in any way the
argument in favor OF providing a new
government printing office at as early a
date as possible Unless Congress proposes
to eventually abolish this office and return
to the contract system, it is its unmis-
taxable duty 10 provide at once for a fully
equipped model establishment in which the
government printing can be executed at
the minimum of cost, and of which every
American printer and bookbinder may tie
proud. The amount OF money expended
would be speedily saved TO the government
in smaller appropriations, while its neccS-
sty is apparent, in view of the inevitable
growth Of public printing in keeping with
the progress or the country.
Urgent Necessity.
abundance Of tine and due precaution
should, however. be taken, IN order to pre-
vent the carrying ont of any incomplete or
inadequate plan. When built the office
should be one of the attractions OF the Cap
ital City, and il should possess the highest
economic, mechanicaiand scientific ahcieve-
ments in the arts of printing and binding Of
the present day. Its lines should be laid
upon plans broad and comprehensive enough
to meet not only the demands OF the near
future but the necessities Of the coming
century.
1t Is not easy for one unacquainted with
the history and growth az this office TO
understand the urgent necessity that will
arise within a few years for new office
such as is suggested. There has been with
every year Of the existence Of this office
a steady increase in the volume Of work
and the increase will be accelerated rather
than diminished as the country continues
To grow in wealth and population, for the
printing art Is closely related TO the prog
ress Of civilization and keeps in close touch
with every depart ment OF human intelh-
gcuCe and activity.

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 31-Private ad-
vices from Galveston state that the la
bilities of the dry goods firm Of Fcltman
& Grumbach will he at least one million
dollars. The firm was one of the oldest
and largest in Texas.
l. II Kempner, trustee Of Fcllman "
Grumbach, when interrogated this even
ing as TO the assets OF the firm, replied
it was an absolute impossbility TO give
an estimate that could be considered re
liable or authentic.
As 10 the land owned 10y the firm, he
said: The land may be worth great
deal, but if | am compelled to realize on
it at a sacrifice, it may amount to little.
There is one block of 80, 900 acres.
There are some 500 town lots in Austin
and its suburbs, some of which are par
TALLY encountered. Besides, there are
900 acres OF land in various counties,
the character and value of which | know
absolutely nothing l Will Immediately
start an investigation to determine the
values OF everything conveyed.
He thought the stock would invoice about
one hundred thousand dollars.
The heav West outside creditor is the lrv-
ing National Bank of New York. 1t is
preferred TO the amount of $50 900. Fell
man & Grumbach are in receipt OF
numerous kilograms from their New YORK
creditors accepting the terms OF the
trust deed and expressing confidence in the
firms integrity.

The fear was too true. Consume
ton did it's work most rapidly, but we,
his friends in New Orleans did not see
the fading away of his young life. He
tried change Of scene and climate in
several health resorts, but finding no
improvement returned to his home to
die. For nearly three long years he
fought against hope, but no complaint
ever crossed his pale lips, and bravely
smiling even to the last, he closed his
eyes without even the huttering of an
evelid.
This brave heart now, is still and
cold; his white hands are meekly cross
ed, his tired feet walk no more on
earth, but let as hope that he has en-
tered into that Astounding joy which it
S not given to the heart of man to un-
