Country Bankers Not Suffering.

I'VE find that the situation among
the country bankers is very satisfac-
tory, all of them having large amounts
of loans secured by merchandise, wheat
and lumber in transit. AS soon as the
currency situation is sufficiently re-
lieved the worst of the difficulties will
be over.
We find that the only way to accu-
mulate credit balances in the princi-
pal exchange centers is by the CONVEX
sion of commodities into cash. This
process will require several weeks and
perhaps months. To accomplish this
on a large scale, will require several
weeks and perhaps months on account
of the present limited facilities for

by the ~playgoers OF the Rialto. More than
that. she further confesses to receiving q
total on this one play Of SIPS 900 TO date
and to the belief that there is more coming.
'lhe Bachelors Romance" is only one Of
Miss Morton's successes. Fifteen years ago,
with The Merchant" she supplied the prize
play ia a contest. To this play she signed
o mans name, fearing thather girlish name
aud still more girlish appearance would
argue against her, for at that time the
woman dramatist was little known. When
Il w. learned that she had thus taken her
fro step in a career as a dramatist one of
her masculine rivals crushed her hand in a
friendly grip and told her that a woman
would have to do twice the work Of a man
20 get one half the credit, a comforting
assurance whose truth she has since proved
to her own satisfaction.
Following THE Bachelors Romance"
have been many other productions. Among
tlese are Brother john" "The Fool of
Fortune" His ife's Father" THE Diplo-
mat" Her Lord and Master" which was
afterward novelized, and The Illusions OF
Beatrice" So it would seem that Miss
Norton is we'll qualified to talk about the
caustic art, not Of writing plays, which
any one can do. nor even of getting them
accepted. but of getting them accepted and
produced as we'll, something which the

THE only dramatic art worthy the name

writing but in other branches as well
we have not built up a better foundation.

the old tradition, worm eaten and mouldy,

matter Of making homes and a Constitution
In art we are the oldest in the world.
THE pioneers who came here were the
flower Of an old civilization and they started

Only people with ideals could have broken

for they and the idealist represent the

OF this house were Trowbridge 4 Livingston,
who sought to keep closely to the principles
of the Italian renaissance, free from any
excessive ornament or corruption.
The first floor is devoted to the drawing
rooms and dining room, and the living
rooms OF the family are on the floor above.
The half story at the top is devoted to the
servants quarters. The gallery may also
serve as a ballroom.
Carriages enter the court at the corner
and he driv eway leads to entrances both
in the house proper and the gallery. The
house has not yet been occupied and will
probably not be opened until the family
returns from Europe in the fall. The
court will be laid out as a formal garden
with greens and marble walks
The residence OF JOIN lines Kane, on the
northwest corner of Forty-ninth street and
Fifth avenue, is not the kind of house to at
tract the same atten ton from laymen.
1t is considered a rarely pure specimen
of Italian renaissance, even to the hatch
ment hat hangs over the entrance, which
is on the Forty-ninth street side. The
house is one of the last buildings put up by
the late Stanford White.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Kane gave the order
for the house they made but one condition
with the architects. They wanted the
house 10 be the plainest in New York. This
desire was probably inspired by the house
they had lived in for many years previously.
Mrs. kare was a daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William SIhermerhorn. who lived until their
death in the old house at 40 West Twenty

Yet this house. which could readily have

Kane wanted the simplicity of her old home

corner, but sold a part OF the lot lying north
