 The telephone was one of the first pieces of machinery introduced into banking. but lately it's uses have been extended to a degree not thought of q few years ago. l know of banks which have as many as forty individual in- struments. which keep forty different people in touch with the executive of hcers of the bank. correspondents and customers. Transactions are carried through and financial arrangements of every imaginable kind are made by means of telephone communication, and the actual participants may never see each other at all.
 After the telephone the next imnor- tant labor saving device to appear was the adding machine, Or arithmometer. To the uninitiated the workings of this machine seem little short of marvellous. Its use has become so general in the banking business that 1t is an excep- tion when this mechanical clerk is not seen.

 Banks in the large cities have for their customers and correspondents houses and institutions in all parts of the country. This business is most de sirable. and in the natural course O. events. is solicited by correspondence The importance of this department ~: the banks activities requires special appliances, and we find the typewriter becoming a great feature As so many letters of one form are sent ouk H. genious duplicating machines are cali nf or ( far fixtures of every we'll equipped of fee.
 Every Bank its Own Printer.
 'The latest thing in this line, how ever. is built like a cylinder press Tha metal type is set in the grooves of a revolving drum. Over this type is drawn a sheet of linked cloth. through which the impression is made on the paper.

 You can see from this resume of banking machinery that the modern bank is a place where new inventions and new ideas of how to do business are very welcome.

1.-THE WEEK s
{ In SOCIETY{

A nervous Laramieite suggests that
a fortune awaits the energetic manager
who will construct a sectional amuse-
ment hall here. Mr.. N. L. would have
the hall conducted on the progressive
plan, the head section, the one nearest
the rostrum, to be reserved for those
who attend an entertainment to see
and hear it, while the foot apartment
could be occupied by the u~nmannerly
whisperers, who in the present condi-
tion of affairs are distributed promiscu-
ously in the audience and succeed in
nearly driving Mr.. N. L. and others of
ness. An arrangement of doors should
be so arranged as to be let down be-
tween the sections during the presen-
tation of an act or number, and then
the head section people could hear and
appreciate in peace, while those behind
the barrier could continue their CONVEX
sation undisturbed by the noises on
the stage. Mr.. N. l.. considers the pres
ent condition as unsatisfactory to those
who appear OF The stages as it is to
their would-be auditors. He says the
old fashion of shooting at the feet of
performers who did not please was
really more courteous and kind than
our present continuous Conversations,
as the primitive habit at least denoted
interest, and nothing is more calculated
to destroy the power of an actor or solo
list than the perpetual murmurings of
many tongues. Mr.. N. L. says he has
visited public places of amusement in
several cities and he has always noted
that the most cultivated people are the
best listeners. He Ices not make any
odious comparisons, but the obvious
conclusion is scarcely complimentary
to Laramie Observation-Disclosures, and a
little earnest and honest thought along
these lines would evidently be a good
thing, if the Gem City people desire to
see and heal actors and singers who
are really talented.

Hon. and Mrs. ]. S. Atherly officiated
as hosts at one of the most novel func-
lions of the season last night, the event
being a genuine New York sugar party,
with really, truly maple sugar just from
the Empire state and hot rolls to eat iton.
Accounts vary as to the number of rolls
consumed by the various guests, Of
course each telling on the other, but,
as no casualties have resulted, it is
probable the figures have been slightly
exaggerated. Whist was an incident
of the evening, but that lunch and its
maple sugar was decidedly 1T. Mrs.
Atherly was assisted by Mrs. Frary,
and the invited guests were DR.. and
Mrs. Swigart, Miss Swigart. DR.. and
Mrs. Miller, Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Camp
bell, Mrs. Hodgeman, Mr.. n Mrs.
Scofield, Mr.. and Mrs, Fred A. Miller,
Prof. and Mrs. Knight, MI. and Mrs.
Stickney, Mr.. and Mrs. Dayton m Mr..
and Mrs. Marker. One of the gentle
men assured the hostess that it was
quite the sweetest evening he had ever
known.
Mrs. N. e. Corthell entertained de-
lightfully at whist yesterday afternoon,
those who played being Mrs. Latimer,
Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Mckee, Mrs. DeKay,
Mrs. Ingham, Mrs. Butler, Mrs. G. w.
| Spalding, Mrs. E. E. Fitch, Mrs. R. G.

were cunning little rabbits.

Miss Edna Simpson was the hostess
last night at a jolly necktie party, which
was enjoyed by nearly forty of hei
young friends. The gentlemen were
instructed to appear sans tie of any
sort, and the ladies were asked tt
make, buy, beg or borrow one for the
occasion, each girl to mark her til
with her name. Humor being the idea
appalling to the boys, who were sen
fenced each to select one from the ar
ray and thus settle his fate as to apart
ner. This arrangement proved to bt
very amusing, and made a gay time il
itself, the fun being supplemented later
with progressive games, music, ant
dancing. Dainty refreshments were
served.
