American Taste and Turkish Rugs.

From the Philadelphia Record.
From an artistic point of view It may
seem absurd, but it Is nevertheless true
that American taste dominates the output
of Turkish rugs" said man who has
made study of these beautiful products
Of the orient. ''Any importer will bear me
out in this. OF course. inasmuch as the Ar
menians and Turks who make these rugs
have no power looms on which to repro
duce exact copies, 1t would seem ridicu-
lous to suppose that more than one rug Of
the same pattern and design could be turned
out. But the American dealer has learned
to know pretty much what sort of rug
appeals to the American buyer, and he
says to his agent on the other side. Make
me lot of rugs that look as much like this
as possible So the native weavers, on
their hand looms, do their best to copy the
colors of special design that is put before
them. This handicaps them, for these un-
tutored artisans have their own ideals. just
as painter Of pictures has. and 1t Is gall
ing to be thus restricted. 1t Is also not
very gratifying to realize that the rich
American, who Is often the parvenu, with
no idea of art. should dictate the output of
an artistic product that is centuries old
But the rich American is the greatest buyer
of oriental rugs. and must be considered"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

It Is the expectation Of local bankers that
the financial Institutions Of Baltimore will
be able to resume business in the course of
a few days. and in the meantime, and until
notice is received that this has been done.
the usual business transactions will be sus-
pended. There Is no question Of the re-
sources of these institutions. and it Is only
what is called IAN act OF God that makes
1t impossible for them just now to cash the
checks that may be drawn against them.
Mr.. C. c. Glover the president of the
Riggs National Bank, thinks that this OPP

the burnt section to one OF broader
streets transversed by wide avenues In
this way modern business would be, he
thinks, facilitated. and the value of prop

perhaps as preliminary step, Mr.. Glover
believes an effort might be made to get
rid of the ground rent system.

STILL IN CHAOTIC STATE
Baltimore Banking Institutions IL
Fire District Unable to Estimate.

Thomas p. Kane. deputy controller Of the
currency, made an unofficial visit to Balti-
more yesterday. Naturally he was, as one
Of the prominent banking officials of the
government, mostly Interested in the con-
dition of the national banks destroyed in
the fire. Things were still In a chaotic
state when 1 was in Baltimore" said Mr.
Kane today, and the banks that suffered
do not know just how they will stand when
they have explored the ruins. A number Of
the officials of the burned banks expected
to open the safes Of their banks today. All
they would find everything intact. They
believed that their big vaults and safes
would be able to resist the awful heat and
produce money papers and books In salts
factory condition. II this proves true it
will be a great recommendation for the safe
concerns that put in the vaults. If the
banks escape loss from the blaze they will
be In great luck.
What the national banks of Baltimore
will have to be most careful about, how
ever, will be In their business following so
terrible a loss as has been sustained by the
business world Of that city. There must
naturally be an extension OF paper of all
kinds until there Is an adjustment Of in
surance losses, and just what will be the
outcome no one can now tell. The wisdom
and conservatism of the banks and the
honesty and business ability of the Balt-
more men who have been subjected to such
great losses are both to go through the test
for some time to come"

The Woman stationmaster.

From the sketch
Mrs. Norwood occupies unique position
among women workers. The fair sex have
invaded many spheres that until the last
few years were believed to be sacred to the
mere man." but probably no one ever
thought that railway work. particularly in
its higher grades, was field in which wo-
men could possibly compete with men. Yet
for more than decade now Mrs. Norwood
has successfully filled the position of sta
ton master at Whippingham. the pretty
little wayside station on the Isle of Wight
railway. that lies between Newport and
Cowes Mrs. Norwood is not only station
master. but booking clerk, porter. gate
keeper. collector and signal man as we'll.
and does much toward keeping trim and
neat the pretty station garden. She was
well known to the late Queen Victoria.
Since the College for Naval Cadets was
established at Osborne Mrs. Merwood's
work has very largely increased.
