Such a one is Clearing Houses; Their History, Methods and Administration" by James G. Cannon, vice president of the Fourth National bank of New York city and one of the leading bankers of the United States. MT.

 Quoting from MT. Cannon's book: What is clearing house? The SUI preme court of the state of Pennsyl- vania has defined it thus: It is an ingenious device to simplify and facili- tate the work of the banks in reaching an adjustment and payment of the daily balances due to and from each other at one time and in one place on each day. In practical operation it is a place where all the representatives of the banks in given city meet and. under the supervision of competent committee or officer selected by the associated banks, settle their accounts with each other and make or receive payment of balances and so .clear" the transactions of the day for which the settlement is made" In ether words, by enabling all the banks of a city to meet at q certain place and inter-

Since he present tour of Harry Wards magnificent min stfels began they have had a success sion of packed houses, Which is an illustration of the fact that the public has not forgotten the name of Ward, Which gladdens the heart of the amusement lover, for one can always count on witnessing a first-class en- tertalnment under that trade mark. Among the stars this season are such celebrities as Harry Ward. Muller and Wonder, Tommy Crockett, the Gassard Bros, Billy German, Decker and Rasch, the Marvellous Briggs and thirty others of great distinction. This is the only big minstrel to visit our city this season, and lovers of burnt cork entertainment can not ,af- ford to let this wonderful attraction pass unseen. The company carries two complete bands of soloists who will be seen and heard on the streets the day of the performance, together With the entire company, making the grandest parade ever presented by minstrel organization.
