New Style OF Shorthand.

John F. Brill, who acted as Of
fetal stenographer at the recent
session of the legislature, has
returned home, and in company
with A. M. Wing is now prepar-
ing to open a school of shorthand
in the rooms in the upper story
of the Spokane & Eastern Trust
company building. The system
to be taught will be a new one,
originated by Mr.. Wing and Mr..
Brill, which has proved itself to
be one of the most useful systems
yet discovered. 1t is practically
a shorthand without sound, but
by spelling, based on the phonet-
ic system.
Mr.. Wing has had 20 years ex-
perience in shorthand reporting
in courts and elsewhere and Mr..
Brill has had nine years eXper-
fence, the past three yeass in the
office of Attorneys Barnes & Lat
inner, and as court reporter. He
resigned his position with this
firm on the first of January to
take up the work of teaching the
new system, but spent the last
two months in Olympia, on a va
cation and as official stenographer
for the house of representatives.
Both gentlemen have given their
new method of shorthand large
amount of study and have been
using it in their own work fol-
some time with the best results,
and they express confidence that
when it is thoroughly understood
it will be used almost universally
It is said to be the only method
taught by expert shorthand re
porters this side of Chicago o.
San Francisco, which means ;
great deal to the student, who il
expected to complete the course
in from six to twelve weeks.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE canvass
of votes cast in the election on Nov. Z
showed. according to the Hearst attor-
neys, remarkable gains for the Munic-
ipal Ownership candidate for mayor
when the aldermen of Manhattan and
the Bronx began work.
They believe that at least sixteen
votes for their candidate were gained
in the comparison of the tally sheets
with the poll clerks returns for the
fourteen election districts of the First
assembly district
The most striking discrepancy was
shown in the Fourteenth election dis
trct There the tally sheets apparent
ly showed seyenty-eight votes for
Hearst. but when the figures were
added the Municipal Ownership mon
claimed that their candidate should
have been credited With eighty-seven
votes. The tally sheets and the poll
clerks returns showed ensures and
carelcssness, of which the Hearst men
declare they will take every technical
advantage.

M 'CURDY CUTS
SALARY IN TWO.
President of Mutual Life Insur-
anCe Thinks He Can Get Along
on $4,000 Annually.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-At special
meeting of the board of trustees of the
Mutual Life Insurance company here,
at which preliminary report of the
recently appointed special investigat-
ing committee was submitted, Presi-
dent Richard A. McCurdy caused a
stir by announcing that at his own re-
quest his salary had been cut in half,
from Sl50,O00 to $4,000 IL year This
action. Mr.. McCurdy said, was the
first step in reducing the expenses of
the company.
Salaries of the other executive Off
GERS of the company also have been re-
duced, the saving amounting in all to
between $l45,000 and Sl50,000 per an
mum.
The committee, which was named to
examine into the affairs of the compa-
nv. made a significant request for a
broadening of its powers and recon-
mended changes in practices by the
company (which on their very face, are
loose, unsound and open to criticism"
The committee recommended that
pending It's further inquiry the eXecu-
tive officers adopt Immediately II policy
of retrenchment.
The preliminary report was adopted,
together with the resolution increasing
the powers of the committee in con-
tinuing It's Investigations. The di-
rectors ordered that full publicity be
given to the report as well as to the
statement made by President Nc
Curdy.
President McCurdy in his address to
the trustees outlined Il policy Of re-
trenchment the executive officers had
decided upon.
Whatever criticism may have been
made of features of its administration,
he declared the fact remains that no
policy holder of the Mutual Life need
ever entertain the shadow of doubt
that his policy, with all aceretions, will
be paid in full when due.
