MAIL CHUTES IN TALL BUILDINGS.
The Business Story That the Constantly Drop.
ping Letters Tell.

graphic idea Of the number of peo.
pie housed in great modern Office
builGi g and of the amount of business
tra'san led in it might be gathered from
watching the mail chute leading down
from the upper floors to the mail box
placed in the hall of the building on the
ground floor. Hero for example is a
great building with 1000 rooms of which
there arc now occupied about 500, tho
number of persons in tho building, in
Guiding tenants and their clerks and
bookkccpcrs and stcnographcrs and
typcwritcrs and other employees number
ing about three thousand
town Of 1900 population would send
out daily a considerable amount of mail
matter; the tall building has popula-
ton of 5000, not made up as the towns
population would be, of people of all
ages from children to old age, many OF
them not writing letters, or writing in
frequently, but practically made M of
adults only, and these all active profcs.
sional or business people, most Of them
having occasion to write many letters,
and all of them writing more or less. 1t
is probable that tho mail matter sent
out daily by tho people assembled under
this roof would equal, if it did not
exceed, that sent from city of 25,O0C
people.
The chute in the big building, with an
opening through which letters may be
dropped on every floor, has on tho
g"onnd floor, where it ends in the big
mail box, a glass front; through that
stretch OF the chute the letters can be
seen as they fall to disappear at the end
of it in the box. And they are always
falling. They cannot be heard, but thoy
may be seen all tho time. If ono stands
in the hall Of the tall building and looks
around ont Of curiosity, his eye is sure
to he fixed by this mail chute, with the
silently but constantly dropping letters.
There may be intervals OF seconds when
they do not come, but such intervals
when they do occur, arc Of but few
seconds duration, and often the letters
come not singly but tapping; and ofton
hey como in ilurrics, like great snow
talls chasing one another thickly.
TO stand and watch them gives ono a
new idea Of the number Of persons
housed under one roof i'm tho modern
tall building, and Of their manifold busy
occupations.

PRESIDENT WAGNER.
A Business Man Placed at The Head OF

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 30.-Thc di-
rcctors Of the South Carolina Inter-S State
and West Indian Exposition mot here
to-day and unanimously elected Capt. r..
w. Wagner president of the company.
Capt. Wagcncr is well known through
out tho commercial circles of tho South
and West and he is good man to be
placed at tho head Of so largo and SO i'm
portant an enterprise.
Tho directors selected properties
known as tho Washington race course
and the Rhctt farm as a site for the cx-
position. The former was leased for
three years for $1,000, and the latter was
bought outright for 5000. The tracts
combined contain 1877 acres fronting on
the Ashley river and lying within the
corporate limits of Charleston. 1t was
announced that preliminary work on the
ground would begin within the next few
weeks. ExMayor John +. Fickcn was
appointed general counsel of the expo
sition company.

Uncle Sans Manifesto to the Powers.

WAsHINGToN, July 2.-Aftcr forty
eight hours consideration and probably
after consultation with the President ut
Canton by wire, the cabinet officers here
have decided for tho naturalization of
Shanghai and tho Southern Chinese treaty
ports submitted by Minister WI. There
were some things in the agreement which
the government was confident it could
not accept. Such, for instance, was The
absolution proposed to be extended to
the Chinese government in advance for
any outrage that might occur in the treaty
ports.
The government has, however, no OBJ
lection to the principle embodied in the
arrangements and therefore told consul
general Godcnow that he might pledge
tho United States government to commit
no act of hostility SO long as the viccroy
OF the province is able to keep the peace
and will protect foreigners. This state
ment was made to the other powers:
''fhcro is every disposition here to en-
coul age such demand, for they will not
relieve the government of the necessity
OF maintaining large naval forco'at the
Southern treaty ports, but will tend to
strengthen decidedly whatever OppoSi.
ton there may be in China to tho anti
foreign element headed 10y Prince Tuan.
"Our government is convinced that this
leader does not represent the Chinese
government, but that he is merely a self
constituted head of lawlcSs and riotous
combination. 1t also is satisfied that the
official class Of China, the men of lnllu-
cnco and the others arc decidedly op-
posed to Tuan's policy. We are merely
opposing an inSurrcctionary mob in
China, even though that mob has been
Swcllcd by the rcbclliOuS Chinese sol
diers. 1t is pointed out that not single
one of the European powers in China has
taken a different view from this and the
United States is not likely to lead the
way in any contrary policy unless there is
great change in the situation"

THERE ARE $4,000 TO DIVIDE.
Lively Time Expected at the Annual Meeting
OF the State Alliance.

The State Alliance Convention will
meet in Columbia some time in July. OF
late years the organization has disintc-
grated to such an extent that little inter
est has been taken in these annual meet
ings, either by former members or the
public at large. This time, however, the
meeting promises to be quite lively and
important one, for there are $4,000 in
cash on hand about which there Is much
controversy as to what shall be done
with it.
The various Alliances in the State,
when the Farmers and Merchants Bank
was first organized, owned nearly, if
not quite. majority of the stock.
Afterwards the present stockholders Of
the bank bought out this interest, paying
$4,000 for iC, and this is how this lump
sum happens to be in the bank and on
hand as a matter of controversy. What
10 do with it is what is worrying tho
brethren. Some of them want to divide
it out among the sub-allianccS which
subscribed to the original stock, while
others want to use it for purposes of the
Alliance Exchange.
The fund is in charge Of certain trus-
tees elected by tho Alliance, and they
have its disposition for Investment, but
subject to the final orders of tho Alliance
1t may be that the whole thing will re-
suit in litigation, and that tho lawyers
will get most Of it in the end, as one
member expressed it.
Dividing out the money would be an
exceedingly dini""it thing to do. Stock
was subscribed for by various subal-
liances, which took a fow shares or
many as circumstances would permit.
The money came from members who
put i'll % cents, 30 cents, IL or more, as
their financial condition warranted.
Now many of these sub-alianccs have
gone ont of existence and the difficulty
Of distributing the money is apparent
daily Record.
