Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Philadelphia, Pa, April 29.-The
Philadelphia Bourse, standing as a
model of modern architecture and at
the same time embodying the centrali-
cation of Philadelphia trade in one
great centre, enjoys the distinction of
being. the only structure of its kind on
the American continent and also tho
largest and most magnificent of the
half dozen others in the old world.
Paris, Antwerp and Hamburg have
their Bourse buildings and while all of
them are fine structures, especially that
in the former city. they cannot COM
pare with the colossal building which
graces the square between Fourth
Fifth, Merchant and Ranstead streets
in Philadelphia.
Bourse is French word, signifying
in its modern sense a business ex-
change, and is derived from the Latin
bursa. This definition has been car.
ried out CD very elaborate scale in
the establishment of the Philadelphia
Bourse, and the institution to-day is as
complete as lavish expenditure OF
money combined with the ingenuity OF
man can make it.
The idea of this Bourse originated
in the broad and progressive mind OF
George E. Bartol several years ago, and

Over ia tho basement at the Fourth
strset entrance is the sub4ststion OF the
United States postoffice; the proceeds
OF which in one year will exceed that
OF the general Office at pittsburg. This
may seem hardly possible, when it is
remembered that the main office at
Ninth aud Chestnut is but five squares
away, yet it is true. The station is
connected with the general office by a
pneumatic tube and by this means q
package of several hundred letters is
transmitted to the general Office in
about % seconds. This is rapid
transit. The enormous amount of
business transacted at this substitution
speaks plainly of the vast amount of
business done in the Bourse building
and vicinity.
What cannot but prove a very at
| tractive feature to the Bourse patrons
is the commercial library on the second
floor, where newspapers from all over

for the convenience and pleasure OF the

will be more than likely to start out OF
his tour of inspection by looking
through the exhibition department on

manufacturing concerns Of Philadelphia
are represented, and several are from
firms outside the city and State. These
exhibits are costly and in many casel
represent large outlay of money, bu
that the exhibitor finds it paying in
