Landmark Being Removed.

The demolition of the three-story building at the southwest corner or Twentieth street and Second avenue has begun. The building was occu- lied for years by the Dude Sas,on," and has been known as the Dude Building" The contractor placed a force of hands on top of the building today and the first piece of tin re- moved attracted much attention.
 It Is believed that the building can be torn down in two or three days. Workmen will be started as soon as the old building Is razed, to erect a three-story structure on the site.
 The new building will be modern in it's appointments and will improve the apearance of the corner materially. The condemned building has been looked upon as an eyesore for years.

Madame semhrich Triumphs.

' Marcella Sembrich triumpned at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night. Rendering a program admirably suit ed to dis rlay the range and power of her voice, as well as to appeal to her every auditor, she sang as none had ever before sung in the theatre From the moment the first silvery thread of melody hoated out upon the air che held the men and women before her as in a spell. now breatn.ess with mex pressib.e emotions of sorrow and Las- sion. again vibrant with sympathetic laughter and gladness of heart.
 With her were Ellison VanHoose, whose tenor voice charmed hardly less than did the performance of the great soprano, and Frank LaForge, a pianist of wonderful ability. z:
 The concert was given to a compli- mentarily large audience which com prised many parties of out-of-town musicians.
 Mme. Sembrichs voice is wonderful ly high and clearL of beautiful timbre. exquisiteIy, perfectly cultured. It lacked just a shade of youthful fresh ness; except for this hardly percepti- ble defect, which was hidaen under a myriad of charms, the voice was be- yond criticism. Her employment of 1t was equally faultless. It was abso- iutely true, 1t possessed wonderful range, a strangely delicate modulation. it was restrained with absolute corr rectness; her rendition was marked by intelligent coml rehension and perfect delivery and diction. These qualities Mime. Sembrich possessed to a supreme degreeS With them she disp.ayed a sympathy that gave to a magnificent performance which might have been mere mechanical perfection. the charm which rendered the faultlessness irre- sistibly, humanly appealing.
 The sympathy itself was perfect. Into The Land of the Lea" she put a world of tenoerness and pathos; she sang The Less with The Delicate Air" with a quickening vivacity and fasci- mating brightness of spirit. In the Grand Aria from Hernani and in the duo from Lo Boheme, which she sang with MT. VanHoose, she was effective- ly dramatic. Her lightest whisper was clear and beautiful; her full..voice conn manding in its strength, ravishing in the mellow sweetness.
 Mime. Sembrich's presence on the stage was notable for it's graceful dig ni,y.
 Mr. VanHoose's performance was ex- cellent. His voice Is remarkable for its power and depth of feeling. which are its most admirable qualities. It diJ not, however, lack delicacy or charm. and the lighter nbers were rendered with an exquisite grace as cap tivating as his more serious efforts were drama tically forceful. In it's timbre. its culture and accuracy. and It's sympa- thy. Mir. VanHoose's voice was credit a ply comparable even to that of Mime. Sembrich.
 MT. LaForge. who was accompany ist played a pi mo solo. the Rhapsodie No. XII Of Liszt His performance was brilliant in technique and exquis- ite in expression. In his accompan- ments he was eminently sympathetic.

THE POSTAL DEFICIT.

From Bryan's Commoner.
The eminent gentlemen who have
taken IL upon themselves to find a way
OF wiping out the postal deficit seem
sadly in need OF new spectacles. They
are quite sure that the only way to
wipe out the deficit IS to raise the
rates on second class mater 400 PR
cent, being utterly unable to see the
very plain fact that the postal deficit
could not only be wiped out but q
neat surplus secuT ed by simply COM
pelling the railroads TO transport the
malls for & reasonable compensation.
The railroads furnish cars for the ex-
press companies and then haul the
express cor about one-eighth Of what
they charge for hall!ng usn in cars
rented to the government at an annual
rental that pays for the cars every
year. Instead OF increasing second
class rates 400 per cent the commits
sion ought to devote some time t.
getting a fair rats from the railroads.

home, and after getting 50 near It
was shunted or and sent south and
west again
Such wanderings OF lost cars IS
hardy possible today. The system OF
keeping track OF them is more suited
to the needs OF the case, and oIend-
ing railroads are punished for holding
borrowed cars beyond a certain length
Of time The National Association OF
Car Accountants, whose business IL IS
to keep watch over the cars OF the
different lines, make II z point to de-
tect and punish Wilful offenders IN this
respect Railroads which persist in
holding cars belonging to other lines
are In time Disseminated against, so
that in times OF heavy traffic they
cannot get enough rolling stock TO
carry their freight
A road using the cars OF another
line pays for them today, but the sys-
tenn is far from satisfactory. The pay
ment is made by the distance Travelled;
but for refrigerator and the more ex-
pensive freight cars the charge runs
up to half a centand a full cent mile.
An offending railroad can easily mis-
represent the number OF miles a bor-
rOwed car travels, and thus evade the
payment Of any great sum. The agi-
tatiOn now is to base the charge on
the number OF days that cars are held
BY any line, and not by the distance
travelled This seems the most equit-
able way and 1t would hurry the small
roads in unloading and sending the
empties back home
The car accountants are supposed to
keep track OF the freights distributed
throughout the country, and in addi-
ton some Of the trunk lines employ
car uacers- Some Of the car account
ants have upward OF ten thousand
freight cars under charge OF the de-
partment So accurately is q system
worked out that some one in the de-
partment can tell at any moment OF
the day or night just where any car
Is located. It IS the duty OF this de-
partment to know when empies or
loaded are turned hOmeward and just
how many are to be expected to ar
rive each day.
When a new car comes out OF the
shop for the first time it gets a num-
Der, which IS never changed in its
life

Is THIS PROSPERITY: :

r. F. Orr, BufaIO Center, Ia, writes
to BTyan's COmmoner:
Regarding Lawrence Callahan's
barn wish 70 Say this.
Had mr. Callahan built his barn
IN 1885 during a democratic admin
fstratfon, he would have paid for his
lumber (supposing he lived in Iowa)
as follows: For dimension, SIS per
thousand feet; for best quality Of
sheathing. SIG; for drop siding, SIS,
and for a good quality Of shingles, 81
per thousand. Had he sold hogs to
pay for It he would have received for
them from $3.50 to 81 per hundred,
and had he sold corn to pay for II
80 cents per bushel.
Had he built his barn in 1898 Gun
de another democratic administration,
but before Grover Cleveland became
q republican, he would have paid the
same pricees, or perhaps a little low
er- He would have paid for it in hogs
at from IS to $5 per hundred, or corn
at 45 to so cents per busheL
Had he built in 1898 just before
the G. o. .. got things reorganized he
would have found that he could buy
dimension at S14; the sheathing, S12
TO 314; the drop siding, SIG to SIS,
and the very best shingles at S2.75
per thousand. For his hogs he would
have received IS per hundred and his
corn 80 cents per busheI.
But let MI Callahan build now,
and he Will pay SIS to $50 for his d.
mensiOns, S26 to S2s for his sheath
Ing. SIS for his drop siding and "a
for his shingles. He viii sell his hogs
at f5-25 or $3.50 per hundred and his
corn at 30 cents per bushel
Nov let Us drop all fine theories
and get to hard facts. Is this pros
perity?"

"a MORAL ISSUE

Hr Stuyvesant Fish, late president
OF the Illinois Central railroad, IS re-
ported to have said some very good
things IN q speech recently made at a
banquet at Orange City " J. Mr..
Fish said:
The contest is no longer between
those who have and those who have
not, but between those on the one
hand who have moderately. sufficient
y and even abundantly, and on the
other those who, through the use Of
s-ust funds and the power Incident
thereto, seek by questionable pracd-
6es TO have excessively. This IS the
szsue which is daily brought into ev-
sTT home In America Like taxation
without representation, Il involves
moral and ethical questions, and also
strikes at the pocket book, which has
been called the sure road to the Anglo
SaxOn's heart It viii not down
Great and repeated efforts have been
made to quiet and hush the clamor
which IS rising on this subject Such
efforts may succeed for time, but not
fn the end. It Is not for me to say, In
the words OF Patrick Henry. Gentle
men may cry peace, peace, but there
h no peace nor yet Shall We lie
supinely on our backs until the enc
my shall have bound US hand and

cannot and will not stir your minds
up to q sense OF wrong. Such IS not
my purpose, nor is this the forum
for an appeal against unjust wealth.
You and have too large a stake IN 1t
TO risk adding to the danger into
which It has been brought by the NAL
feasance OF some OF our agents. What
I do want is to bring to your atten-
ton the fact that no apparently ef-
fective thing has been done to right
the wrongs which are known to ex-
fst, and that 1t rests with Us, the great
middle class. to meet this issue as our
fathers met those which confronted
them, sOberly, advisedly and In fear Of

the company felt in need Of power to
raise 100000 0a0 was accepted as an
acknowledgement that their actual
necessities had been widely under es-
timated. The inference was suggested
that similar miscalcuation might be
supposed in The case Of other rail
roads as the pressure of traffic on
available facilities has been by no
means confined to the Pennsylvania
railroad. Most Of the vulnerable
