RIDGELY's FRIENDS PLEASED.
Glad He Refused Presidency of the
Mercantile Bank.


The many friends Of William Barrett
Ridgely in Washington will be glad that
he is not to accept the position offered
him in New York, if that decision will
insure the remaining of himself and his
estimable family for an indefinite period
at the Capital Since assuming the
duties If Comptroller Of the Currency.
Mr. Ridgely has not only made himself
solid with the administration, but with
Washington society. and his departure
would leave about as big gap In the
government as that Of any man outside
Of the White House.
For several years before he left
Springfield. H., where he was born and
brought up. he was second vice president
Of the Rldgely National Bank His
principal activities at that time. how
ever, were with commercial institutions
He was largely interested in the steel
and iron business, being successfully su-
perintendent, secretary. and vice presi-
dent Of the Springfield Iron Company,
which was later absorbed by the Re
public Iron and Steel Company. with
which organization he went, as secre-
cary, to Chicago, in 1899.
During his administration of the office
of Comptroller of the Currency the NAM
Der Of national banking institutions has
more than doubled. His most noticeable
suggestion for the advancement Of bank
ing facilities has been his advocacy OF
credit currency as an addition to the
present bOnd-secured circulation This
has not yet been authorized by Congress.
but Mr.. Ridgely has been largely instru-
mental in giving relief to the banking
world BIZ bringing about the expansion
Of the limit OF the amount of national
bank circulation that may be retired in
any one month from 50, zoo to 5000 900.
This has been adopted by Congress. as
has also his recommendation that Gus
toms receipts, as well as those from inter-
nal revenue, be placed on deposit In ma
tioEal banks.

New York, Oct. 19.-Thomas Osborne.
Of Hilton street, Liverpool, is nine years
old to-day. but 1t is unwise TO imply that
Thomas is not an able-bodied man, ready
TO face all the stern problems Of human
existence. For has not Thomas acted
just like any gTOwn-up in travelling
across the great Atlantic, and did he not
convince the dignifed customs officials at
the White Star Line pier to-day that he
was entitled TO land, Ike any tourist? ?
There was no tag on Thomas. telling
curious eyes who he was, where he came
from, and where he was going. and
asking the considerate public TO keep a
watchful eye out for him. Oh, no indeed,
Thomas Osborne, rosy checked and blue
eyed, clad I'm knee-length suit Of Scotch
tweed, walked down the gangplank Of the
Arabic with the other secOnd-cabin pas
sengers and asked no questions Of any
one. He knew just exactly what to do
He wasn't the least bit homesick either.
Notwithstanding the fact that ne had
never been ten miles from his Liver
pool home before. He just asked when
the first train left for Chicago. Naturally,
he was interviewed.
Not Afraid TO Travel.
Weren't you afraid to travel across
the Atlantic alone?" Thomas was asked.
Afraid? What have I got TO be afraid

q baby. Isn't the United States just like
England? I'm going 10 Chicago 10 live

home is at 6743 Aberdeen street, there.

had to acknowledge that he had not.
I hear that city isn't half rs nice as
Liverpool. but they say It's lots bigger.
You'd better go to Chicago he advised.
why did you come to America? Rather
live here than in England
I've come to the States to learn good
manners. All boys have good manners
in the States" he said. rs that true?
