STOOD THE TEST
SAFETY VAULTS OF THE BALTi-
MORE TRUST COMPANIES.
NO SAFER OR STRONGER THAN
THAT OF THE BIRMINGHAM
TRUST AND SAVINGS co.

The one CLEAN of light emitted from
that the safety deposit vaults of the
trust companies and banks preserved
their contents unframed.
The safety vault Is the supreme effort
of modern skill and money to insure i'm
munity from fire damage. and great
deal of interest was felt as to how it
would stand the severe test of the hot
test fire In the history of the world. No
severer test could be applied and every
person who has a box in the vault of the
local Trust company who has papers
which he knows ought TO be in an abso-
lutely secure place, anxiously watches
the news on this point
One OF the vaults in Baltimore had
stored over 5000, 100000 in security, and
not dollar of damage was done to a
single piece of paper. 1t may now be
accepted beyond doubt that these great,
strong boxes of the modern Trust com
pany are indeed and in fact, immune as
to any and all possible fires.
The vault of the Birmingham Trust and
Savings company ON Twentieth street diff
fers from the great Baltimore vaults only
in the matter of size. Its walls are as
thick and as strong, its doors as close and
as imperrious to heat and its construc-
ton as up-to-date.
The Birmingham Trust and Savings
companys vault has one advantage over
even those OF the Maryland metropolis.
1t is In buildings occupied solely by the
bank itself Even fire equal to that il
Baltimore would find little in the building
to ignite.s collapse in the roof could
bring down only lot of shattered glass
and some twisted steel rafters a total
weight of mere trifie on the solid vault
on the main floor beneath.
Such a vault is the last and only safe
guard against conflagarations and the
price OF box, from $500 per annum to s35
per arnum, according to size, Is the
cheapest and surest insurance ever yet
devised *~

Senator Hanna's Condition Re-
mains Unchanged.
BROTHER IS With HIM
Physicians Are Guarding jealousy
Against Complications Because of
Danger 1t Would Cause In
His Weakened Condition.
BROTHER is WITH HIM

Washington, February Ex-senator Han
mas condition remains practically I'M
changed. The restlessness which fatigued
him last night, has been followed by
periods of comparative quiet and sleep
during the day, and the irrtability of
the stomach has again partially yielded
to treatment
The physicians say that no complica-
lions have developed. 1t is this feature
of the case that the physicians are guard
ing against as they realize that if any
complications develop in the senator's dis
tressingly weak condition. the result may
quickly be expected.
Cannot Predict the Crisis.
The doctors are not yet able to predict
with any certainty when the crisis in
the case will occur. All they know for
certain, is that the senator now has had
the fever continuously for eleven days.
and the disease. they say, generally runs
its course in three or four weeks
The doctors say they are satisfied with
the progress of the case, although they
do not conceal their apprehension that
unforeseen complications may occur at
any time.
Made Thorough Examination.
Dr. Osler. the Baltimore diagnositician,
made very thorough examination of
the senator during the afternoon, and at
its conclusion remarked to one OF those
at his bedside that bis hearts action was
splendid.
The senator's other vital organs also
are working well with the exception of
the stomach. A new kind of nourishment
was given to the senator during the day
in addition to the milk diet. and it is said
that he retained most of it.
During the afternoon he slept about
three hours. He is always rational and
seems anxious to converse, although ev-
cry effort is made to keep him as quiet as
possible.

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-Compelling
two clerks to go into a room at the
point of a revolver to be made prison.
.ers. a masked man today took a suit
case containing $4,000 and records and
papers belonging to the Central Grain
and Stock exchange at 90 Liedesdorff
street. and then made his escape.
+. j. Flynn and II. T. Pearny are
clerks employed by the exchange, and
they were carrying the suit case con-
tanning the gold, silver and papers into
the office through a passageway in the
rear of the office when they were con-
fronted by the robber. His revolver
caused them to obey his demands.
The thief was hidden behind n parti-
ton so that he could not be seen until
a person was within a few feet of him.
He showed perfect familiarity with the
premises, and the police who are work
ing on the case hin they nave a good
clew to his identity.
1t is customary for these two clerks

company, Market and Montgomery
streets. every night and return it In
the morning. Before their arrival the
place is cleaned out by an Italian, n
it was through a door left open by
him that the robber slipped in.
AS the clerks entered they heard a
command, Hands up" They turned
around and saw the robber. He was
wearing a mask made OF a white hand
kerchief in which holes had been cut
for the eyes and nose.
March with the suit ease to that
step half way down the hall there

and getting them there the robbie took
a piece of ord and tied their hands
TO a hook in the wall.
With the clerks tied in the room
the robber took the suit case and de-
parted. Presumably he had some con-
Neyance near at hand.
The two clerks released themselves
after some trouble, and notified the
police of the robbery.
