TRUST COMPANY'S
ANNIVERSARY
Security Is Twenty Years
Old and Has Grown
Rapidly
DIVIDENDS 7 PER CENT.

The Security Trust and Safe Deposit
Company. one Of Delaware's leading
financial institutions, was twenty years
old yesterday.
A trust company in Delaware is some
thing OF a venture and not few persons
in local financial circles had misgivings
as to its success. but from the very be-
ginning the Security had the confidence
of the public and i'm two years had shown
such wonderful progress ana its earnings
had accumulated SO rapidly it was able to
pay it's first semi-annual dividend of IL
per cent on the then capital of $4,000
Prosperity of the company continued
ami three years later the capital was in
creased to 100000 and in July of that
year the semi-annual dividend was in
creased to three per cent. Tlse semi-an-
nual dividend is now IL per cent. In
the mean while the surplus of the CONF
pany was growing steadily and with an
addition of 100000 to its capital few
years ago and further additions to it's
surplus and undivided profits, its COM
bined capital surplus and profits now
amount TO Sl.li6 l0SS9.
The handsome Office building OF the
company at No. 5l9 Market street is one
of the finest in the country and is equip
ped IN every detail for the conduct of its
large and varied business. At the opening
twenty years ago. the building was first
thrown open for the inspection of the pub
/ lie and for several days large crowds
filled its corridors and rooms. The front
of the building was first used by the
Central National Bank. but the growth
of the Trust Company business was so
rupid that it soon required for it's own
use the entire building and the Central
removed to its own fine banking house at
the corner Of Fifth ANA Market streets.
The Fret President.
The late John II. Adams. who is re-
membered as one Of Wilmington's best
citizens and most progressive business
men. was the first president of tho
trust company and was succeeded bl
Colonel Benjamin Nields. than whom
no worthier selection could have beer
made william p. Bancroft was fol
some time vice. president Of the com
; pany. His many other business con
nections rendering it necessary for hin
TO relinquish the vice. presidency ant
he was succeeded by the late william
r. Brincllle. whose genial manner an'
sturdy devotion to the business Of th'
company is pleasantly remembered by
the officers and patrons of the com
pany.
James b. Clarkson. who had beer
the secretary and treasurer from III
organization was chosen to succee,
Mr.. BrincSle. John s. Rossell wal
elected secretary and J.. Scott Town
send treasurer. The two last mention
ed men have been identified with tn
company since 1889.
In 1885 the trust companies in tn
United States were comparatively fey
in number. but now every city has on
or more such companies. The work O
these companies has developed alon
the lines of most efficient, desirabl
and economical service to the peopl
e and have removed the necessity for in
e. dividual effort and responsibility in tn
= administration of estates and tn
e management and care of trust prop
- erty. The Security Company is one G
the oldest i'm the country.

MASOUE BALL
FOR THE INSANE
Patients and Attendants at
State Hospital Have
Enjoyable Time
ELABORATE COSTUMES

A masquerade ball IN which half tho
dancers and the majority OF the spec
tators were victims of that most pitt
able Of human ills-lnsanity is no ordi-
nary sight and the impression produc-
ed is to a certain extent uncanny. Such
was the Parsonage in a brilliant scene
.at the Delaware State Hospital for the
Insane at Farnhurst last night.
It has long been a theory Of eminent
allenists that any diversion which for
the time being attracts the attention
.of persons afflicted with dementia is
.of a beneficial and soothing character,
and to attain this end, harmless and
diverting amusements are added to the
modern course of treatment.
Dr. Hancker during his term OF SER
vice at the State Insane Hospital has
made it a practice to permit the least
violent of the patients to engage in
tripping the light fantastic. at least
once week for an hour or so and has
found it of great benefit to the patients
who take part. and to those who are
permitted to watch the dancers.
Owing to the crowded condition OF
the State Hospital the assembly room
has been pressed into service as a dor
mitory and the weekly dances have of
late been dispensed with.
But It has long been the custom to
close the celebration OF Thanksgiving
Day with a masquerade ball. and des-
pite the crowded condition OF the in.
stitution Dr. Hancker promised that
the annual affair should not be omitted
this year.
