HOME OF CORPORATIONS.
One Jersey city Building Which
Houses 5000 of Them.

Houses 5000 of Them.
It is only eight stories tain, tn,
building at Is Exchange place. Jer
sey City, but in the number Of its ten.
ants il has the biggest building il
New York beaten a mile and a hall
at least.
1t is estimated, SAYS ihe New YORK
Sun, that the largest skyscraper in
Manhattan accommodates 5000 per.
sons daily under its roof. Of these
about / 200 are tenants and the rest
are employed in their offices. But
the Jersey City building has 5000
tenants. About 80 per cent. of them
are corporations, and if principals
and employees were all assembled
they would form an arp:y Of magnif-
cent dimensions
But they are legal tenants merely,
and only just SO often as the law re-
nnires do their directions visit the
building to hold a stated meeting and
thereby preserve their charters. A
representative Of each company is on
hand daily. however
Most Of the other tenants are law
yers, who make a specially of doing
business for these corporations. A
lawyer with = suite of one medium
sized room may represent hundred
corporations and assure you that he
can make room for hundred more.
On the top floor is big corpora
ton which Incorporates companies.
1t is the legal representative Of more
than 1000 corporate bodies which
pay tribute into the state Golfers. 1t
it not well here to speak sIightingly
or carelessly to a petty clerk, because
he may represent score OF corpora
tons and stand for millions of dol
lars.
His salary? Well, it's all in the
days work, and for what his employ
ers receive for the accommodation
he may be wiser, buinot richer The
annual fees are not large, however,
and $50 year, or even more, is not a
large sum to pay when it is absolute
ly necessary to have in New jersey
an Office and a representative upon
whom papers may be served if legal
arise But 100 of these
fees will keep a New Jersey lawyer
from actual starvation, and there is
always hope that the number will in
crease
Ten meetings day on an average,
are held in This building by the di-
rectors of the various corporations,
Sometimes real business is transacted
at these meetings, too, but usually
the directors come from Manhattan
on the same boat, remain in the meet
ing room for half an hour or less and
hurry back again to the working Of
fees where the actual business is
transacted.

The Loss Of Life in 1902.

The loss of human life in 1902 apart
from the ordinary ravages of disease,
was greater than it has been in any
year for a considerable period. It is
estimated that the deaths caused by
the volcanic eruptions in the West In
dies numbered about $4,000, and thou.
sands more deaths resulted from a
like cause in other parts of the world.
War added something like $4,000 to
26, 900 to the list of the fatalities, the
greatest losses of this character being
the Transvaal, China, Africa and Ven
ezuela. Deaths from epidemics aggre-
gated about 1856, 000,~ which is estimat.
ed as nearly $4,000 more than in the
preceding year, while shipwrecks &C.
count for 1900 of the accidental deaths,
or nearly double those from that cause
in 1901. Suicide figures a grand total
of 1921. The number of deaths caused
BY murder and accidents Of various
kinds will foot up a large aggregate,
which cannot be approximately estt

so thoroughly that even the doctors have
