Both left the Comptroller office to go to New York financial in stitutions Mir.

 Edward S. La:ey, Comptroller from 1889 to 1892, retired to accept the pres idency of the Bankers National Bank of Chicago, and still holds that posi- tion.
 James H. Eckels, who ably directed the course of the national banking sys- tenn through the stormy financial pe- riod of MT. Cleveland's second admin istration, and whose speeches and writ inEs in the campaign of 1896 made him prominent as a gold standard advocate, resigned from the Comptrollers ofiice December 31, 1897, and the following g day became President of the Conner cial National Back of Chicago. His successor, Charles G. Dawes, was Comptroller for less than three years and gave up the position for the pres
 idency of the Central Trust Company of Illinois, in Chicago. All of these

 the list of the high-salaried bank off | ciaIs of the country. Two of them, Mir

 was reorganized with a capital of $6,-

heads of other strong State banks, worked against the passage or the na- tfonai bank bill. Later he was forced to the conclusion that necessity exlst- ed for a circulation which would De current throughout the Union, and that this necessity could be met in no other way than by the creation of national banks.
 Al the request of President Lincoln and MT. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury, he resigned the presidency of the Indiana bank and came to Wash ington and organized the currency bu- reau.
 The first bank authorized to begin business was the First National of Phil adeInhia. On the same day certificates were issued to the First National of New Haven, the First National of Youngstown, O., and the First National of stamford. Conn.

 l Mir, McCulloch was able to overcome the first of these objections, but he had
 m reply to the contention of the bank nrs that it was unreasonable, to expect | them to surrender the names that had been made onorable by the integrity and success of the institutions for which they stood. MT McCulloch said afterward that the only difference he ever had with Secretary Chase was over the naming of the banks.
 DO you expect that the Bank of Commerce." said the President of that tnstitution to MT. McCulloch, will re- iinouish it's time-honored name and be rrown as the Tenth or Twentieth Ma tional of New York. If you do you vill find that you are mistaken.

 While the death rate among comptrol-

Nearly all of the others re- tired to become presidents Of banks or trust companies at salaries Tar more attractive than the $5,00O year paid the man who directs the destinies or the national banking system. There IS not a bank or trust company in the United States that does not desire as US president or vice-president the man who

 There are sound business reasons for
 this, aside from the fact that finan- ciaI institution derives prestige from the use of the comptroller's name. He knows the standing, condition and bus mess methods of every national bank in the country, and, therefore, possesses
 a knowledge of the value of credits

It is to be hoped the secretary. upon reflection. will retrace this step, toward harbarism, re- call his numerical edict and permit each bank to be known by something more expressive than a mere number" Secretary Chase finally revoked the order, and the State banks were per- mitted to retain their names with the word national Then they hastened to Incorporate as national banks. Growth of National Banks.
 When Mir. McCu-loch retired from the Comptroller's office. two years after he organized the currency bureau, BOT national banks were in existence, with an aggregate capitalization of $215,326,- 900 and a total circulation of about $100, ,009,O 900.

His grand father was discount clerk in the St. Louis branch of the old United States Bank, and later cashier of the Illinois State Bank. Four generations of that family have been represented in the management of the Ridgely National Bank of Springfield, of which the Comp troller for several years was an officer.
 Mir.

Cost of Being a World Power. Baltimore Sun.
 Germany's desire to become a world power able to hold it's own in every sea is proving costly to the taxpayer. The new naval budget soon to be pre- sented to the reichstag calls for six large cruisers in addition to those pro- vided in previous programs. each td cost S6,T5O.000. besides a large increasg of torpedo boats. the whole to cost au extra $49,250.000. Besides this scheme of new vessels there is to be a large increase in the size and armament ok the vessels already voted. raising the cost of each battleship from S6.3b0, ,000 to $9,0oo,000. The naval budget for 1905 is $5S,25O.O0O, but in 1917. when the new ships are in commission. the annual cost of the navy will be Ss2,o0e.- 900, apart from the Supplementary tion that Germany Is unaNle to stand the cost of maintaining a big navy as we'll as a big army the reply is ready that France does this and that Ger many is increasing her population and wealth much more rapidly than her outlay on armamenta

You ask me who is most beautiful2
 answer, itis THE WOMAN WHO HAS NEVER SUFFERED PAIN.
 Pain, with its distorting fingers passed over woman's face, will soon steal away her great treasure Beauty
 Have you ever seen person you knew who had passed through some terrible experi- ence of pain-a fire, railroad wreckP
 Did you notice the years-ten, twenty or more-that seemed to have been added to that persons face; the hair whitened perhaps in single night3
 In no way will so strongly be brought home to you the fleeting character of beauty.
 It is not wrong for woman to wish to be beautiful It is part of her NATURE, implanted in her at birth, and therefore must be right
 Now want you to understand that the painfrom which you, as woman, suffer every month will act in just the same way with you as (only, perhaps, more gradually than) a railroad wreck.
 It will steal your beauty.
 It vii, undermine your health.

that this would be the cheaper.
The Taxpayers argument was we'll
taken but the same does not in
terest us to any alarming extent
for when the time comes for us to
interest ourselves in the building
of a new court house, the same
will be located in one of the range
towns and not in Duluth. The
matter of dividing the county is
now uppermost in our thoughts
and suitable laws to make this pos
sible is what is bothering the
average range resident. After
this, comes the matter of county
seat and a court house. However,
We will frankly state that if we
are compelled, by the extreme
stubbornness of the voters of the
southern end of the county to re-
main a part and parcel of st.
Louis county, we would work for
the building of the court house on
site for the benefit of the people
of the county and not for the Du-
