SOUTH DAKOTA

New Yorl: Sun: III SOME of the old
school lawyers and brokers who were
known TO New York twenty-five years
age couid make tour ofEthe downtown
offices occupied by their successors
the might suspect that the latter were
eXtravagantly luxurious in their sur
roundings. In their day a lawyers Of
ace looked like a workshop, and so long
ds It's furniture served its purpose 1T
did not matter whether it was artistic
or not, and ordinary mating was good
enough for the floors. The change that
mas come about in office furnishings in
recent years is now very noticeable.
Quite as much attention is paid to
decorating and furnishing them as to
the private homes of their owners. One
of the large bond firms in this city
mas offlces in which the hangings, fur
n1ture and soft rugs represent an eX-
pense larger than the equipment of Il
well appointed private house. A brok-
erage firm hired offices a few weeks
g In a new building hat will cost
them about $50, 900 q year in rent and
they have furnished them accordingly.
The man who comes into the private
office of a member of the firm from
the noise Of the busy street outside
experiences a sense Of relief and com
fort that may make him more amiable.
He walks on thick rugs or soft car
pets and he sits in a beautifully made
chat that is comfortable. If he is
kept waiting he MAJ fine excellent
pictures on the walls and pleasing
colors in the furnishings. There are
men in New York now who make n
profitauie speciality Of the designing
n furnishing Of handsome offices. The
rivalry among big firms for handsome
offices is strong. Apparently it Is a
good business investment.

be Divided Among the Heirs.
New York, Dec. 2.-According to
the Herald, more than half a million
dollars is to be distributed among the
heirs Of George Bancroft, historian,
who died in Washington, D. c., on Jan
iuary II, 1891.
The New York Life Insurance and
Trust company, as trustees, brought
suit for a construction Of certain.
clauses of the will and also forsBant
accounting. Mr.. Bancroft was 81 years;
old at the time of his DEATH. A peculiar
feature of his will, executed In 1887,
was the tying up Of the bulk of his
fortune until November /, 1900. Charles
c. Grover n James M. Johnson were
appointed executors and trustees. The
referee, FranklipsB +. Lord, has report
ed that at the end of three years the
executors turned over to the trust,
company securities worth 1851, 873, and
this has since Increased to 1914, 1925. The
referee finds that $6S, 900 is now sufh-
Gent to pay the income to the annui-l
tants.
This leaves almost $3.50, 900 for imme-
diate distribution. This will be as fol-
lows: One-fourth to the estate az John
G. Bancroft, one-fourth to Sarah Wool
