The bankers of Pittsburg, it is said have de-
cided to establish a Bertillion system in order to
keep tab ON their employees. The bankers. have
suffered considerably from looting clerks and
now it is proposed that each employe shall have
his photograph taken together with measure
ments all of which are to be deposited in one CEN
tral place 1t is hardly likely that such plan
will be put into effect Few self-respectng clerks
would submit to such requirements. Perhaps the
frequency Of defacations among the bank en-
ployes of Pittsburg is owing to the example OF ex-
travagance set them by the "Pittsburg million
aires who have attained an unenviable notoriety
throughout the country.

cIinas to Old Things.

LeWeS Pilot.
Some of the people in the upper end
of the town have been trying TO con-
vince Colonel Arnell that it would he
a wise thing 10 remove his front fence
instead of painting it, but the Colonel
clings TO that fence with the same af-
lection that he holds on to his fine
leather boots. immaculate paper coli
lars. fine felt hat--never a straw-arc
black string tie The Colonel always
drives with the side-curtains on his
carriage-in summer he raises the bac'-
curtain-never took business plunge"
in his life and never got married. He
is a fine type of gentleman. in char
acter, manner and dress, but he won't
take up with the new tangled ideos
and the people seem to like him for it.
The front fence is an institution Of
ve olden times and it must not be torn
away.

TURN ON THE LIGHT.

HEY are talking again of a campaign of pub
licity in Philadelphia. Mayor Reyburn is said
to want light on all matters concerning the award
ing of contracts and the spending OF money for
municipal Improvements. In fact the mayor is
said to be at the head of this movement for pub
licty
The Citizens Municipal Association will aid
the mayor in his campaign. Hereafter no con-
tractors are to be favored and nothing is to be
done in the dark The ring, that has fattened off
contracts in Philadelphia, is to be broken.
1t will be an interesting development Of munic-
ipal affairs in Philadelphia with the mayor at the
head of this new movement
Yet we cannot see why the mayor should be
anxious to change the manner in which things are
done in Philadelphia. The people, by major
ity of many thousands, would doubtless approve
his administration, and the reformers in Phila-
delphia have always gagged their zeal by their
own prospects Of securing Offices
In ordinary cities publicity is undoubtedly a
good thing. 1t is good in Wilmington, for in
stance. The people should know how their mu-
ncipal affairs are conducted. But in Philadelphia
it appears to make no difference.

DISCOUNT

Is an Important element in
financial success. Busi-
ness men who carry a bank
balance sufficient to pay
their bills promptly and
thereby obtain the largest
discount make that much
additional profit; and If
they keep their accounts
with us, the balance is con-
stantly earning interest,
which is another source of
profit. Merchants and
manufacturers, whom we
number among our patrons
find our banking terms and
the FACILITIES we offer them
Of great advantage.

HARvARD's VICTORY.

RI ARVARD won the great race with Yale,
- - and the Crimson secured the victory ION
the square" without the faint of having men in
her crew who had been kept in the university
merely for athletic purposes
Just before the race it was feared that the sus-
pension of two of the oarsmen, because they had
violated the rules of the college, would so cripple
the crew that an easy victory would go to Yale
This fear was so great among the friends and
alumni of Harvard that President Roosevelt in
tervened in behalf of the suspended oarsmen.
and the President was severely rebuked by DR..
Eliot, the president of Harvard But it turned out
all right for Harvard and the victory is the more
creditable in that it cannot be said that even the
spirit OF intercollegiate athletics was violated

March Il has been set for the removal
of the Metropolitan Club from its pres
ent quarters in the Arlington Annex
10 its new home at Seventeenth and
H streets northwest. The building is
now completed, and the furnishings
are nearly all installed.
In the completion OF the new Metro
politan Club The architects, Hines * La
FARCE. of. New York, and the builders.
Richardson & Burgess. have created a
clubhouse second TO none in the coun-
try. This is conceded by clubmen who
are familiar with the elaborate clubs
of New York and other large cities.
Washington may with little fear of con-
tradiction now boast Of having the best
clubhouse in the country. The fire that
destroyed the old building about three
years ago has thus proved fortunate.
Richardson & Burgess started work on
the new come OF Washington most eX-
elusive club I'm December, 1893 Since
that time many changes in plans have
been made. The original plans were
al no time allowed 20 stand in the way
of any improvements that might tend
to make the house the best suited 10
the needs OF the club. in this way
The original estimates of cost were great
Iv exceeded. A member Of the building
committee figures that the building now
has cost $3.50. 900.
Exterior Is Simple.
The building is a large one. facing
1l2 feet on II street and 90 feet on Sew
enteenth. It has FIVE floors and a base
ment. The exterior is simple in design,
and gives no indication Of the elaborate
decoration and furnishing of the inte-
rior-
The main entrance-in fact, the only
front entrance TO the Clubs on II
street. This leads into large central
entrance haH with mosaic floor and
richly decorated ceiling, opening IN turn
upon the principal rooms of the first
floor. The feature of this floor, how
ever. Is the billiard room, extending
two-thi~ds OF the width OF the house
on Sew enteenth street The walls and
ceiling are entirely of dark wood the
furniture very heavy and upholstered in
black leather.
Opening from the billiard room and
in the corner Of the building is the
morning room. A feature Of the hall
and rooms OF the first floor are three
handsome freplaCes. done in wood to
the ceiling, in keeping with the wall
paneling.
From the entrance hall a wide stair
way leads to a landing on the second
floor. The steps are OF mahogany,
while the sides are OF Siena marble. on
the second floor the parlor is the con-

feet In size, extends along the entire
