HISTORIC TOWER Of CANTON

Is Eight Stories High and Base Cow
ers Seven Acres.
Canton has been called the city or
pagodas," since so many are to be seen
OF various sizes, but perhaps the most
remarkable one Is that located on the
Island Of Honam. Its tower alone Is
composed Of eight tiers or stories, and
rests upon q foundation which covers
no less than seven acres Of the island.
Although the exterior walls OF the
base are worn and dilapidated by time
and the elements, the tower points
far heayenward. terminating Ia a
point or minaret. which is the admira-
tion Of the artist, but every feature OF
the tower Is artistic. even 70 the
gracefully curved corniees which mark
each story. Chinese legends have II
that this structure is fully 1000 years
old and engineers who have examined
II are OF the same opinion, yet the
tower is composed almost entirely Of
brick and tile and is apparently as
solid to-day'as the year Il wAa built--

BANKERS AT BANQUET.
Meeting Held at Rauscher's Last
Evening.

Members of the Bankers Association Of
the District spent an evening together last
night at Rauscher's and enjoyed the social
intercourse Of the occasion and at the same
time gave some attention to topics relating
to their business. The president, Mr.. AL
bion K. Paris, occupied the chair and in
troduced the guest of honor, Mr.. ]. Writ
Randall. president of the Farmers Ma
tional Bank of Annapolis, Nd Mr.. RAN
dali. in response to the graceful welcome
from the president of the District associa-
ton, made an address in which he spoke of
the benefits of banking associations in the
community and to the bankers. The field
of operations for the efforts of the MEM
bers Of the District association came in for
apprec' alive words, and Mr.. Randall spoke
of the development of this city and its
promising future.
In speaking of the influence of the bank
ers of this country, Mr. Randall said that
1.-The interests of legitimate banking and the
interests of the general public are really
Identical, and wherever associated banks
and bankers have been permitted to act IN
concert in regulating financial matters,
their action has resulted in benefting the
public, because of that identity OF interest
The question of changing the system of
discounting commercial paper came up on
a motion directing the council OF admins
tration of the association to report ad-
versely upon the proposition, which mas
been under consideration for some time, TO
change from the system in operation mere,
by which interest is collected on notes at
the time they mature, to the system In use
in New York and most other large cities, OF
deducting the interest on loans at the time
they are made.
This motion, which was adopted. was
made by Mr.. w. J. Father, and was dis
cussed by Mr.. Father, E. S. Parker. Jesse
B. Wilson, B. Francis Saul, George W..
Brown. George c. Henning.

TALKED TO MEMS CLUB.
Senator Clapp of Minnesota at Mt.
Pleasant Church

Moses E. Clapp, United States senator
from Minnesota, was the guest of the Men S
Club of the Mount Pleasant Congregational
Church at it's monthly meeting last night.
The senator talked to the club informally
on "The Evolution of Our Government"
The address was both entertaining and in
structive. 1t traced the gradual develop
ment of the government from the adoption
of the Constitution to the present day. In
closing the senator made some references to
the increased executive authority that were
particularly interesting. There was a time
he said, when the people Were asking, will
the President execute the laws Congress has
enacted?' Now the question is, Twill Con-
gress enact the laws the President wants
enacted?" The senator expressed the view
that by the process of evolution the govern
ment has reached the ideal stage-the stage
where the people really govern. Both the
senator and Mr. John A. Finnegan who
sang received a vote of thanks for their
kindness in entertaining the club and the
guests. Preceding the formal meeting the
business meeting of the club was held and
several new members were admitted. Fol-
lowing the addIe ss by the senator refresh
ments were served. This club which is one
of the largest and most useful of the mems
church clubs in Washington, has had sue
cessful and helpful season under the direc-
ton of Frank L. Campbell it's president.
The years program will close with the April
meeting.

Mr.. Albert Chevalier, the widely headed

the principal interest of the large audience
at Chase's Theater last evening. Mr..
Chevalier's performance was undoubtedly
that has been witnessed at Chases for
