latiOn Of This Restricted District.

The name of Wall street is oftener
seen and heard than that Of any other
thOroughfare in the country.
This deep, narrow canyon is the exact
financial center of America. Some think
that it is the veritable capital of the
United States.
The restricted region that goes by the
name of Wall street exerts more in
f1uence than any other area Of'the same
size in the world. Nowhere else in the
veniences of communication been crowd
ed together. Another claim which may
be made for it is that it is the most
densely populated area in the world.
OF office buildings crowded together on
SO small an area.
Even the men who have spent their
lives within it's confines do not realize
are. In the short block between Broad
way and Broad street, which includes
the entrance to the Stock Exchange,
there is enough population to crowd to
difficult to get any idea Of how dense is
this population. 1t is not generally
realized, for instance, that the popula-
tion of these buildings is so great that
if all the tenants were to leave their Of
fices for the street at the same instant
hundreds Of people could not find stand
ing room.
The condition is made clear by lit

would not furnish enough space for

collected in front of their buildings it
would be a second black hole of Calcut-
ia. They would stand on each Others

One of the curious results Of this over
population is marvellous system OF tele-
phone communication unequaled any
where else in the world. The financial
district is supplied with $1,000 regular
telephones. The greater part are long
distance wires. An these phones are
kept busy. 1t is the experience of the
telephone company that each phone is
used. on an average about eight times

stead of incisors, they had grinders,

luton, is proof that they were vegeta-

lone of the skulls had been pierced by
an arrow on one side, while on the other
it was fractured as if by a tomahawk.
The man to whom it belonged had per-
haps fallen while repelling an attack
by the Indians. One femur measured
1912 inches, and the skeleton to which
it belonged must have been between
seven and eight feet high.
"The burying places at Santa Clara
have not been discovered yet, but it is
known that the cliff dwellers were
buried in STOPPING position, with their
heads between their knees and the feet
pointing to common center. Skulls
were found with long red hair by this
exploring party, and also monuments
with inscriptions that resemble Chinese
characters, while on, the ella river mon
uments were found that seemed to be Of
Egyptian origin. One well-knpwn
scientist in the party has made study
of the subject, and feels positive that
the cliff dwellers belonged to another
race than the Indian.

CLIFF DWELLERs' AGE
Santa Clara Canyon ExpAOred-Re-
suits of Recent Scientific Research h
Shows the Antiquity of the Race
Ruins Excavated Were Found in Il
Good State Of Preservation.

The governor of New Mexico has
made public the result of some scientific
explorations that have been made re-
specting the cliff dwellers in the Santa
Clara canyon, and these researches will
undoubtedly be of great scientific bene-
fit. The governor says:
Every important explorations have
lately been made in the Santa Clara
canyon in regard to the famous cliff
dwellers, which are visited every year
by hundreds of people. This party of
explorers measured the communal build
ing of the ancient and abandoned cliff
dwellers, approximately 1000 rooms.
EVIDENCES OF GOOD LIVING.
"They excavated two rooms and found
the walls in good state of preserya-
ton, with some evidence of building
skill They discovered considerable
pottery, beautifully decorated with
geometrical designs and partly glazed.
something unusual, as the pottery here
tofore found was generally unglazel.
Many turkey bones gave evidence that
the ancient occupants knew the good
points of the national bird; the turkey
corrals were found to be small, and con-
nected with the living-rooms by low
archway only high enough for a turkey
to slip through.
In the two rooms pipes of an unusual
shape we're found. One was in imfta-
ton of prickley pear and the other
of a cactus. There were evidence that
the cliff dwellers grew tobacco, and the
charred corn found proves that they also
grew corn There was evidence that the
building had been deserted in haste,
and that the cliff dwellers had left near
ly everything behind them. The most
important discovery, however, was that
of nine skeletons almost complete.
DOUBT AS TO INDIAN ORIGIN.
"The skulls show that the eliff dwell
ers were not Indians, but were allied 20
the Caucasian race. The back of the
skull is nat, but the forehead is well
developed. The. chin is strong, and the

five hours long, some 10000 telephone
connections are made.
The private wires not in connection
with the regular system are greatly in
excess Of the regular telephones. These
are put in by private companies, and it
is impossible to make good estimate
of ther number. 1t is conservative
guess that nearly half a million conver-
sations take place every day by telephone
to this restricted area
The number of messengers who rush
about this district is also surprising to
anyone who is unfamiliar with the tre-
mendous activity Of the street. Prac-
tically every large building has an Office
crowded with boys to supply the de-
mands Of the hives of Offices which are
constantly calling on them.
In addition to the regular uniformed
boys most of the large establishments
have corps of their own boys, some
times in uniform. 1t has been calculated
that for every acre of ground in the
financial district there are about 120
COyS carrying messages. NOW q HelO

TENNESSEE BANK IS ROBBED.

TULLAHOMA, Tenn, Dec 22.-The
Coffee County bank, at Manchester, was
broken into by five men this morning,
the safe blown open and all the currency
in the bank, amounting to $4,000, stolen.
The robbery was discovered shortly
after it's commission by the town watch
man, who notified the authorities ut
Tullahoma, toward which place the
robbers fed on handcar.
A deputy sheriff and policeman from
Tullahoma met the robbers a mile from
town, and after short fight captured
the thief with the money. His four
companions escaped.
The captured robber refuses to dis
close his name or the identity of the
other four men. He claims to come
from Ohio, and it is believed that this is
the gang which has been operating re-
Gently in that state.
Bloodhounds have been put on the
trail of the escaped robbers.

O'Clock this morning the, Dalton City
bank was robbed of $1,000 in currency.
The robbers gained entrance through q

mite. Persons living near said there
were three explosions, and SO great was
their force that the large plate glass
windows Of the bank were smashed,
and burned fragments of money were
found block distant Five hundred
dollars that was taken in after banking
hours and placed in the vault, but not
in the safe, was overlooked by the
thieves.
The bank is owned by D. P. Keller cf
this city and his son-in-law, G. A. Hight,
of Dalton. The former says that the
burglar insurance carried by the bank
will not cover the losses. This institu
ton is perfectly sound and opened at
noon today, taking in more money on
deposit than was paid out.
Bloodhounds were taken to Dalton
this morning, and the dogs took UP the
trail at the bank and followed it dis
tance of three or four blocks. Later
the dogs were taken back, and again
they went over the same trail the third
time. The trail was followed always
over the same route and to the same
point. Where the dogs quit there were

ROBBERS FAIL IN OHIO.

ASHTABULA, Ohio, Dec. 22-Six
masked men forced an entrance into the
bank of Madison, Ohio, late last night
and blew the outside door from the
vault but were frightened away before
having penetrated further There was
but $35 in the vault, but smaller safe
in the bank contained over $4,000 in
cash. This was not interfered with.
While three men worked inside three
stood guard without, and as a young
man named Oliver Smead was passing
they held him up at revolver point, cap
tured him, stole two cents from his
pocket, dragged him to tree, to which
they proposed tying him, but in the alb
sence of rope they locked him inside
coal shed.
A few minutes later Rev. w. T. 3.
Culp, pastor of one of the local churches,
was driving past just as the blowing Of
the safe took place. Being attracted by
the explosion he looked out from the
curtains of the buggy and revolver
shot sped by his head. Whipping up his
horse the preacher escaped and gave the
alarm, and a general turnout soon fol-
lowed, but no trace could be found of
the burglars. The same vault was
cracked FIVE years ago.

Mrs. McKinley's Ailment.

From the New York Herald.
The illness Of Mrs. Mckinley, due as 1t
is reported, to a bone felon" OF one Of her
fingers, is not in itself of a serious nature.
Although the pain occasiOned by the local
Inflammation is very great and the consti-
tutional disturbance more or less severe,
there is no danger of blood poisoning when
prompt treatment is given by free incision
of the affected part. AS the latter has
already been done by her physician, it is to
be hoped that her recovery will be rapid
and satisfactory.
Generally the disease is caused by a
severe bruise which inflames the covering
of the bone, causing deep-seated suppura
ton.
AS the investing membrane Of the bone
is very firm and unyielding, the accumula-
ton of the effusion underneath it has no
ready vent, and when relief of pain and
tension is not afforded by deep cut either
the bone itself is apt to be destroyed or the
finger is rendered useless by subsequent
destruction Of its joints and tendons.
When the operation is delayed by want
of pluck in the patient the matter is
likely to burrow under the deeper tissues OF
the palm and jeopardize the entire hand.
Happily, in these times of improved local
the knife, and, with the perfection OF
wound treatment, no fear of subsequent
blood infection.
1t is not at all unlikely that In q person
with delicate hands a comparatively slight
injury may cause a relatively great amount
of mischief. Hence it is quite possible that
the mere pressure on finger rings by hearty
handshaking may have been the initiative
cause In Mrs. McKinley's case.

John Randolph Of Roanoke.
he Editor Of The Evening Star.


In your issue Of the 7th instant, over the
signature of Euphrase B. Randolph, L am
made the subject of a species of abuse and
my veracity called into question. That kind
OF TRADE does not disturb me.
The remarks in "Reminiscences" about
John Randolph are not new. They are from
history published in magazines and news
papers and widely circulated more than
half a century ago. and now rewritten for
the perusal and instruction of the two gen.
erations of readers who have matured since
the active career of the man of Roanoke
closed.
Mr.. Randolph was beyond all doubt .,
one time boarder at the Franklin House,
kept by William O'Neal. I have frequently
seen him coming out of that hostelry i'm
mediately after breakfast day after day,
and ii is not within the probabilities that
he would at that early hour have been there
had he not been one of the regular boardeEs
1t is quite likely that he was at some time
guest at the old Union Hotel, corner OF
Bridge and Washington streets George
town, as he was in Congress for many
years and some of the members lodged
there during the sittings. But il the true
original register of the Franklin could be
produced-now an impossibilty-the name
of John Randolph would be found on it's
pages. There can be no reaSOna BILE doubt
about that. Every one of the late old men
who were boys in their teens in the second
decade of the nineteenth century would if
here be witnesses of the assertion of Ran
dolphs occupancy of rooms in the Franklin
during some period of his congressional ca
reer here. l say here because he was in
Congress when 1t met in Philadelphia, as
| have heard a close old friend say that he
went to Independence Hall, where the ses-
sions were then held, to listen to his elo-
quence between the years 1874 and 1876
or 81.
Yes to this day aristocracy and bitter
sarcasm bane.
Most human beings are at the close of
life anxious to do redeeming acts. and we
may hope that the great l am will hear
and notice our petitions If they are sincere
and from the heart And we have a good
undoubted basis for hope that the true pen
itent will be heard and pardon extended.
The good repartee' involves forbidden
indulgence. The arbiter of destinies
has said, vengeance is mine; will repay
1t is bread to the duelist, but death to the
soul. am not abiding here to the Clay
Randolph hostile meeting. In that affair
John Randolph acted nobly and in the high
est degree commendable.
AS the writer Of the defense claims, 10
man is free from faults. No. error Is not
confined to sex, age nor condition. But
few seek to reform until the shadow APP
pears. and the effects of the injustice, hu-
initiation and injury done cannot then be
removed or avoided.
Instead of using the Defense of John
Randolph" for kindlng or carpets, l shall
preserve it as an evidence that revenge Is
a cultivated characteristic.
