When the twenty-eighth annual con-

Myron T. Herrick In New Orleans on
Nov. IL, there will be assembled body
of men who represent in the aggregate
over $4,000, 000, 900.
The association of bankers was Or
ganized in 1875, and since that time,
especially in the last ten years, has
exercised a great influence in the finan-
cial affairs of the country. To Mr. j.
4. Howenstein of Washington is ac-
corded the credit of founding the asso-
citation, which held its first meeting at
Saratoga.

of the association was the necessity of

IN costs less than $4,000. The mayor
paws half and the two sheriffs the 9th

important duty for the year.
Sir Marcus Samuel, the new mayor,
as his name indicates, is a Hebrew
and is set down In the formal biogra-
phies as a spectacle maker. which Is n
trlfie misleading to any one unfamiliar
with the quaint nomenclature Of the
rich old city guilds. The lord mayor
elect doubtless never made a pair OF
spectacles in his life or any OF his Ia
theirs before him. II Is intended to
signify simply that he belongs to the
naughty and powerful guild known as
the Spectacle Makers company.
Sir Marcus is one Of the great city
bankers and rich enough TO afford the
costly luxury of living in the Mansion
House for year. He will get salary
exactly equal 10 that Of the president
of the United States and will have to
spend almost twice rs much on the
banuuets, formalities, functions, cere'
monials and general gorgeousness that
keep a lord mayor as busy rs II he
really had municipal work to do.

MODEST MISS HECkER.
Charming Personality of the Cham
pion Woman Golfer.

Charming Personality of the Cham
pion Woman Golfer.
Aside from her marvellous skill on
the links, Miss Genevieve Hecker. the
eighteen-year-o New York girl who
has thrice won the national women's
golf championship, is a most interest
ing young woman.
Although for the past four years
pages have been printed about Miss
Hecker's golf accomplishments, but lit
tie has been said of her personality.
She is slender, blue eyed little girl, 3
feet 3 inches or 5 feet inches tall,
with a great mop of beautiful golden
hair, which she wears in an enormous
pompadour on the golf links as well as
off.
When one hears of the 200 yard
drives which this apparently fragile
girl thinks matter of course, one can
not understand how she does it, and
she could not do it We're it not that she
is able to put every ounce of strength
and weight she possesses into her
shots.
Notwithstanding all the fame and
glory and honor which have come to
her, she Is still as modest and unas-
Stunning as when she had never been
heard Of. and when any one compli-
ments her on her skill or over vic
tory she bushes with an embarrass-
ment which time or frequency of re-
currence cannot overcome. She cannot
seem to understand the public interest
in her.
Notwithstanding her modesty, how
ever, she is absolutely iron nerved in a
match. She can apparently rise to any
occasion. and while Others may occa-
sionally make phenomenal shots hap

When she is not playing golf. she
leads the usual quiet life Of the aver

chief Interest has been In the writing

of the theater. dancing and most Of the
other pleasures which make up the

General Booths Mission.


The mission to this country of Gen.
eral William Booth, who was recently
received with great enthusiasm by rep
resentatives of the American depart
ment Of the Salvation Army in New
York, appears to be twofold-to visit
the stations Of the Army and acquaint
himself with its work and to put that
work before the people of the United
States.
The foundation principles of the Sal.
walton Army, as he explains them,
are religion and self support, both of
which he embodies in the sentence
Some reformers endeavor to reform
men by washing their shirts; we pro-
pose to wash their hearts and show
them how to wash their own shirts.
"The people of England spend $4,000
GOO year in housing their poor and at
the end of ten years there are as many
to house as at the beginning" says
General Booth. 1--WE propose to cure
the poverty while We take temporary
care of the poor"
The commercial success of General
Booths enterprises, as he gives &C.
count of them, goes far to convince the
incredulous that his plan is practically
expedient as well as theoretically
plausible. 1t is in the furtherance of
these enterprises that he is now here
to ask the aid of the American people
He processes himself confident of his
ability to pay 3la per cent interest on
capital loaned to him for investment

purpose not only the rescue of the

hold office for only one year. The
mayor is chosen from among those
aldermen who have not passed the
chair"-that is, been lord mayor-but
who have served as sheriff.
On the day of his Inauguration the
mayor elect is arrayed in his gorgeous
robes of office, and around his neck is
placed golden collar, to which is at
tached diamond mounted jewel, esti-
mated to be worth 100000, and for
the safe keeping Of which and the city
plate worth a million, he is required
to give heavy bond before he is
sworn in. He then ascends the coach
of state. This coach has been in use
since 1857. Before that date the may
ors rode on horseback. The coach is
an immense gilded affair and cost $50,
600.

turtles Old still Observed - The
Gorgeous oHicial CoIIar-How Lord
Mayors Are Chosen.
With much pomp and circumstance
and brave show of rich jewels. gilded
chariots and gaudy trappings the city
of London has annually for over 900
years indicted its lord mayor into Of
fee. Since 1853 and probably before
that time, although there is no definite
record of it, Nov. 8 has been celebrated
as lord mayors day. 1t is the great
day in the city, and most of London's
$40 mayors have observed the tradi'
tons of the occasion.
So, conforming to ancient custom, the
new lord mayor, Sir Marcus Samuel,
will array himself in the gorgeous
robes and, bearing the jeweled mace,
ride on the time honored day from
Guildhall to the palace of justice TO
take the oath Of office.
The London over which the new
mayor will preside for twelve months
as chief magistrate comprises only
very small part Of the great metropo-
lis. 1t Is only a square mile in area,
and its actual residents number only
10000.
Although he has no more authority
than any one else outside of his square
mile of territory, the lord mayor of
London is in many ways the most i'm
portant mayor In the world. His little
city in the heart Of the great metropo-
lis is the center of British commerce.
and while practically deserted at night
more than a million people do business
there in the daytime. British troops
may not march in its streets without
the permission of the corporation, and
the king himself may not enter it with
out the permission of the mayor.
Sheriff Samuel, the man for whom
these honors wait, was elected on
Sept. 90, Michaelmas day, just as all
of his predecessors were elected before
him. TO become lord mayor of London
a citizen must first be elected a mem
Der of the board of aldermen by the
ratepayers. There are but twenty-siX
aldermen, and they hold office for life.
Once an alderman, further promotion
comes from the liverymen, who are
members of the city guilds.
Each year the liverymen elect two
of the aldermen sheriffs. The sheriffs

should be given an attentive and con-
