erect q city han on the Haymarket
square site, of Main street, at cost
not TO exceed Sl25,000. The city already
owns the greater part Of the ground
necessary for the building planned for,
but it is probable that some additional
territory win have to be acquired. Those
who favored a State street site for the
building found themselves in hopeless
minority, as did those who wished 10
buy the present armory building and
use it as an auditorium. 70 seven citi-
zens, with Mayor Haley as chairman ex-
oIiicio, viii be delegated the work of su-
|perintending the erection. The city conn-
Gil viii name this committee.
The above action was not taken until
after q spirited discussion, j. A. DeBoer
read the report of the committee which
had been chosen to select 4 site, stating
that they had failed to agree. The re-
port was accepted. Then the citizens
proceeded to ballot on the site. At 9:2O
the box was turned, and the count show.
ed as follows:
Whole number cast ....,..... TOE
Necessary for choice ......... 1852
Haymarket square ......... $50
Exchange, State street .... 1913
Deming Z Willard, State street -. 80
Thereupon, Mayor Haley declared in
favor Of the Haymarket square site.
On motion Of Mr.. DeBoer Is was then
voted TO build city hall at total cost
for site, buildings. furnishings and vaults
not to exceed s125,000, that the city
bond for the same, said bonds to bear not
10 exceed four per cent interest and to
be sold to the highest bidder, the city
reserving the right 70 reject all bids.
These bonds are TO be issued and to
bear such rate Of interest at market
conditions warrant,
II WAS also voted on motion OF A. J..
Sibley that the city seqnester the in

 Fifteen years ago there was enough tariff reform sentiment in the United States to elect Democrat President. Colonel Bryan is right; there is more now. But 1t remains to be proved that there Is enough Government ownership or railroad regulation. or income tax, or election of Senators by the people, or antitrust or other sentiment to elect Bryan or any other Democrat President.
 Colonel Bryan admits practically that a Democrat may be elected on the tar if issue In the name of common sense why does Colonel Bryan scatter? why throw out long line to defend when victory may be won by assault on single Republican position? Sure Iv Colonel Bryan is not more eager 10 "vindicate" the wisdom of his null titudinous forays than to lead his party to power? , himself points it.

ton often asked. There is little mys- tery in the lives and motives of most financiers. John D. Rockefeller began life as grocers cler; Andrew Carne- gie was a messenger boy in Pittsburg: James J. Hill was a carpenter in a Canadian village: Levi P. Morton was a dry goods clerk; and Henry c. Prick was clerk in a country store. It is not remarkable that these men should have turned to gathering money. But it was not so with Morgan. He was worth beaween $5,000,000 and $10,000,- 900 when he was born. He need never have worked.
 There are those who say that devel- oping one's country is a passion with MT. Morgan; that he started out to be of value to his government and has succeeded. There are others who say that he has worked hard simply be- cause he has had from the beginning an unsuitable greed for power. He knew that money brought power and he sought 1t for this reason.
 No matter what his nootive may have been he has made himself the largest financial figure in this country if not in the world. Here are some of the important events in his life Rt a glance:
 Born April F. 1s37
 Graduated in 1854 from the English
 
 Graduated from Gottingen Univer- sity Germany, and went into business with Duncan, sherman and Company, New York.

 First connected with government H. nances. 1878.
 Played a prominent part in so-called "gentlemen's agreements" between railroad presidents. 1SS4-1SS9.
 Made famous West Shore deal, 1885.

A good, well trained servant has her own ideas about doing things. and 1t is we'll 50 humor her.
 My present maid is jewel. but she is somewhat of a ''highbrow." She loves to read, and for amusement she has been attending the Metropolitan Opera House Sunday evening concerts. I give her plenty of opportunities for gratifying her tastes so long as she does my work satisfactorily. which she Is very careful to do. as she appreci- ates the time off, the good books lend her and the fact that I never go out in the kitchen and interfere, and so we are both satisfied.
 An Enjoyable Substitute.
 Now that the ice skating season Is over, roller skating takes its place.
 This is enjoying a huge revival. The new roller skates are ball bearing, with solid rubber wheels, and this adds much to the attraction of the sport, Besides there is no better opportunity for irritation than when rolling along ESQ merrily. merry-lee"-Don't say word, I know twoeof the best skaters alive, and neither would admit she can stand alone. It is, much more fun to be lowed along by some man, and. of course, the very poor skaters have to have two men, one on each Side.
 By the way, you get good chance of seeing human nature at the rink. For instance. the other day crowd or us went over. I am not good skater, and neither was one of the other wo- men of the party. Finally after couple of turns I hired an instructor at 50 cents a half hour. The other wo- man sat on the edge of the floor, too mean to hire a man herself, but watch ing me.
 Finally the instructor and I came back exhausted to rest few moments, and immediately up pops Mrs Meaniy. remarking, 1 can go with him now can't I If you're not using himY

ISSUES OF BONDS
SECURITIES SOLD IN THE SOUTH
 ERN STATES.
Record of Certificates Sold and Pro- posed for Improvements, show ing That Cities and states
 Are PrnRressinE.

~ Baltimore, April l)-1n publishing this week a detailed list of new securities decided upon or sold in the South during the past three months The Manufacturers Record says:
 During the three months from Jan uary to April of this year, the to- tal amount of bond issues decided upon or sold in the Southern States was $15,- 33191S This included some $5,000,O00 Of refunding bonds, so that about $10,- 800, 900 of bonds are to be devoted to public Improvements. or $2,000.000 more than during the corresponding quarter of last year Including Missouri, Ok lahoma and Indian Territory. the total amount reported was 21,7S7,657. but this addition included only a small amount of refundlng bonds, not enough to much affect the total of such securi- ties, so that the entire amount to be expended in the whole section is well up toward $17.00o.00o. As compared with last year, the amount of refunding bonds among the issues of new Becuri ties Is moderate, so that the proceeds of most of the bonds will be expended for various public works, such as wa ter works, sewers, electric lights, street paving, good roads, schools, court houses, city halls. jails, drainage ditches. levees. etc. thus distributing large amounts of money, the circula- tion of which will he of extended ad- vantage to the various communities in which these Improvements are made.
 During the first quarter of the year there were also reported through the columns of this paper number of pro- posed bond issues and announcements that elections will be held for others, but in these calculations no account mad been taken of any securities which have not been fully decided upon.
 Of the proposed issues it is practical ly asserted that nearly all of them will be approved by the people and that the second quarter of the year will see a large addition to the bonded indebt
 edness of various Southern cities. coun- ties and States for the public benefit. These Improvements are an assurance that there will be large demand for both labor and material throughout this section. The following table shows the amount decided upon in the different States:

While politically the Chauncey Depews are extinguished, socially they are climbing away up. Mrs. Van Andre, Mrs. Depew's sister. has come to America and is planning a social campaign in which she expects to crush many of those whho snubbed her sister. Although Mrs. Van Andre has never had any children, she Is nevertheless the mother of a prince. She adopted no less a princeling than Francis of Ieck, a brother of the Prin- cess of Wales.

 Speaking of table delicacies. have you tried the imported French endivef It sells for 25 cents pound. It is al most white and so light in weight that half a pound will make a very large salad. It will keep for some time. so if they do not have it in your own be wrapped up and mailed like dry goods.
 French dressing containing red pepper and tiny dash of onion should be used over this. It is very delicate and makes an attractive salad for a guest-luncheon.
 Another importation is the French chicory at 15 cents a head. This Is so fine it looks like white curly grass, and the ordinary chicory simply can't be compared with it.
 No Wonder She Sticks.
 Why change servants all the time? So many women are forced to do this because they want everything done their own way, and they must be ''boss" of everything.

 KING OF FINANCE.
Great Banker Is Seventy And Is Stnl Hard At Work-Has
 Been Rich All His

New York, April 2o.-(special)-- Some of the New York newspapers seem to have standing rule never to go to press without a story, or maybe two or three, about J. Pierpont Mor- gan. He is abroad now but the for eign correspondents are thoroughly alive to the demand for Morgan news in this country and they keep the ca- bles hot One day we were told that MT. Morgan had been interviewed about the financial and industrial situation at home.
 We Yankees" said he, ''are p~eco- cious children and are developing too rapidly. Our symptoms and suffering spring mainly from excessive fecun- dity. If you glance over our country you will be struck by the phenomenon that there is no slackening of in any branch of indusary or commerce. On branch of industry or commerce. On an increased pressure and intensity os production and business. Therefore. do not be led away by newspaper sem sationalism into the belief that the so- called financial crisis is other than ephemeral and relatively unimportant."
 The next day we were told that MT. Morgan had missed very good ser mon by his own pastor in this city. MT Morgan is a vestryman of St. Georges church and when at home he PdS5CS tHc COllcCtbOh pldtc CNCiy ouh- day. When he is away his duty is performed by former Mayor Seth Low. In the sermon in question the Rev. Dr. Birckhead took a whack at Wall street and a hard one. He declared that the gamblers of that black street"--Wall street-were menacing the integrity of the government and the sanctity of the home. He drew n picture of one of the leading expon- ents of latter day finance and many of the congregation thought he was holding Mir. Morgan up as a horrible example.
 It Is not surprising that the news papers are interested in MT. Morgan for that means that the public is sn- terested in him. The newspapers of this city, at least majority of them. whether right or wrong, try to cater to public taste. And Mir Morgan is /G very interesting man. He doesn't care to see his name in the newspapers, though he has long been credited with practically controlling The New York Sun. This impression is probably due to the fact that MT. Morgan and Will liam Laffan, the owner of The Sun. are very close friends and have been for years. It is not believed that Mr. Morgan owns a dollars interest in The Sun.
