HYDEs PORTRAITS AS JUNK
Also Those of Alexander, Mcintyre,
Wilson and TarbeIl-ReIics
of Old Regime
Special to The Herald.


Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June A--Hundreds Of
extensively framed llfe-size photo
graphs of the heads and busts of James
W. Alexander. James II. Hyde, Will
lam II. Mcintyre George n. Wilson
and George r.. Tarbell constitute one
Of the minor assets which the Equit-
able Life Assurance society has IN
herted from its former management
and which IL does not know what to
do with.
Under the old regime It was the Gus
tom, for advertising purposes, to send
to Equitable agencies all over the
world these elaborate photographs Of
the society's principal officers, and they
could have been found hanging on the
walls of Equitable sub-offices in al
most every civilized country. In the
home office building in this city from
three to five of them were displayed
on the walls Of most of the many
rooms used by the society. Another
photograph extensively employed in
the same way was that of Henry b.
Hyde, founder of the corporation.
OF all these men, Gage E. Tarbell
and George r. Wilson are the only
two now connected with the society's
administration, and, anyhow Paul
Morton is not a believer i'm spending
of advertising. All these richly framed
photographs, therefore, are now about
as valuable to the concern as so much
Junk In many of the rooms I'm the
main building specimens of them still
decorate the walls as mute reminders
of those who have passed out. In the
headquarters of the advertising de-
partment on the third floor hang sam
Piles of the entire set.
Hundreds of similar pictures, glazed,
framed and boxed ready for shipment,
are packed away in the supplies de-
partment in the Hazen building. They
were there when the storm broke that
disrupted the old management, and
now nobdy knows what to do with
them, so they stay there, gathering
dust and cobwebs. The value of each,
gauged by it's cost, is said to have been
not less than ten dollars wholesale
The photographs are all fine, large
specimens and they are tastefully
mounted in hardwood frames nearly
four feet square. That of James H.
Hyde shows him dressed in a Prince
Albert coat, with low cut white waist
coat and a white Ascot tie, with a
dainty Lawson pink in the silkfaced
lapel of his coat
Smaller pictures, of which there are
also many in stock, are framed photo-
graphs of the colossal bronze statue of
the senior Hyde which stands In the
center of the main corridor OF the
home office building, and which is also
regarded by the present powers That
be as something of an elephant on their

OVERcONFIDENCE

General Pleasant Porter, an Indian
chief, desires to enter the senate.
But am by no means overconident
in the matter" said the chief in an
interview. Il know that if l get the
election I'll have to work hard for it..
Overconfidence causes laziness, defeat,
humiliation.
my ancestors, who came from Nor
rstown, sometimes illustrated the evil
Of overconfidence with an anecdote of
Norristown man.
"This man was talking to a beauti-
full lady, an heiress, at a ball.
Yes, she was saying, when / don't
wish to accept a mans attentions, and
he asks me where live, say in the
suburbs
THE man laughed.
"'Ha! ha! Excellent he said. But
where do you live, Miss South?
In the suburbs, Mr.. JONES' she an
swered." New York Tribune.

A sTUPnNDoUS UNDERTAKING

The people Of San Francisco are Just
beginning to appreciate the stupendous
work involved in the reconstruction of
their city. Even the most optimistic
citizens realize now, as they did not
two months ago. that IL viii be work
or years to restore the city To a SEM
blance Of its former condition. The
time that has passed since the ca1amitv v
serves only to convince considerable
people Of the mishtiness Of the task
ahead
a close observer of the situation at
San Francisco says: "The prospects
now look rather dark in many re-
spects; Il will necessarily he long be-
fore many substantial improvements
can be made, as It is estimated that
IL would require the use of 400 cars
one year to clear the debris of the
burned portions of the city"
The work now In progress in San
Francisco, additional to the removal
OF debris, is confined almost entirely
to the erection of temporary strue-
lures and to repairs upon buildings
susceptible Of repair. The failure to
make headway in permanent recon-
struction results from variots causes.
First, the delay in the settlement of
insurance losses ties up a large part
of the funds that are relied upon for
the cost Of rebuilding Second, there
is hitch among property owners, ex-
tending to the people generally, i'm re-
gard to the new layout Of the business
section, covering the question whether
the old street lines shall be preserved
or whether costly innovation of
broad streets, avenues and parks shall
be introduced. Finally, there is the
mountainous obstacle of the debris
and the difficulty about tackling 1t
before the insurance adjustment is
completed.
1t is this dubious outlook for the
early rehabilitation of San Francisco.
no doubt, that is causing so many
business men to change the scene of
their activity to Los Angeles The
outlook for a return of old-tirne con-
ditions in San Francisco is so uncer-
tain, and the contamination evidently
so remote, that good business judg-
ment impes many of that class to-
start, afresh in the southern city.
The circumstances here pointed out
account, no doubt. for the increasing
inquiry on the part of San Francisco
people for business locations and home
sites in Los Angeles.

and bad alike. a mob OF men early this
morning stormed the city dog pound.

four keepers, liberated the 200 canine
prisoners awaiting execution of the
chloroform sentence.
When the mob appeared. Louis Wise,
the head guard at the pound, tried to

his words had no effect. flashed his re-
volver. He was knocked down, dis
armed and then kicked into uncon-

Three other guards then took up the
battle, but they, too. were overpowered.

The fact that the members of the

members of the Klio of Chicago when
Mr.. Peale informed them that he would
be unable to rent his property to them.
The leases had been all but signed
when the officers of Klio association
received this information. The time
was too short for them to open nego-

all their plans.
The names of the objectors were kept
