STOCK MARKET
Still DEPRESSED

NEW YORK, Feb. pa tone of
duh depression reasserted itself il
the stock market today and yester-
days small gains were more THAI
lost. The bad impression caused by
the unexpected receivership for the
Orient National Bank for which sue
cess was hoped in it's efforts to re-
sumo operations. The prospect of an
nnfavorable bank statement was OF
some sentimental effect, although
the immediate condition in the mon-
ey market is not a pressing factor
in the stock market. Bonds were ir-
regular.

Dog of Aristocratic Tastes.

Here is a nature story that I

ington man the other day, that Pres
ident Roosevelt and DR.. Long should
be interested in. 1t seems that the
animal in question belongs to a gilded
youth who has more money than he
knows what to do with, and conse-
quently spends it somewhat boyish-
ly. His retriever enjoys a scent bath
every morning, and is exceedingly
particular as to where he dimes. He
is now growing fat and lazy, and, al
though fond of sneaking out for a
morning stroll in Central park, OBJ
jects to walking home again. His
plan is to watch for a hanson, if go
ing in his direction at a walk, and
slip into 1t. When any attempt is
made to dislodgo him he simply dis
plays two rows of magnificent teeth
and wrinkles his upper lip in a
c%uriously suggestive smile. Most of
the park keepers know him, and give
the cabman his address. Cabmen in
the vicinity of the park keep a look
out for him, and leave their doors IN
vitingly open. When the dog reaches
home he remains in the cab until the
valet comes out to pay the fare.

the city, the largest of which are the
First Congregational church and st.
Patrick's Catholic church at Tenth
and G. streets. At the former a IL
brary and reception room is open
throughout the day, in charge of a
matron. The Catholic church, like
practically all structures of that de-
nomination, has been kept open for
many years during the day and
through the evening.
1t is regarded as important by the
pastors of these churches to point
out to the many shoppers that these
edifices afford places of retirement.
Here women can go and mingle some
periods of rest with their shopping ex-
petitions. While resting in the church
they can look over the purchases they
have made and "a plan where to
go and what to buy, when they shall
become rested and able to again take
up their errands.
The pastors of the churches also
recommend the use of the open struc-
lures by business men and clerks dur
ing the rest hour about MONDAY. 1t
is pointed out that these men can
quickly get away from the active and
driving business OF the office by spend
ing a few minutes in a quiet pew.
A greater use of the church edifices
during the week is advocated by the
church pastors.

FROCK COATS IN CONGRESS.
Garment Going Out of Fashion Among
Modern Statesmen.

Congress is eliminating the frock
coat habit. More than half the mem
bers of the new congress have shown
their disapproval of the time-honoreu
costume by appearing on the floor of
the house in the regulation business
suit of tweed. Red and lavender neck
ties can poll a larger vote than the
somber black string tie, and old men,
bers, loyal to the frock coat and it's
accessories, are discussing with de-
spair the future of congressional tan
shoes.
These sartorial belligerents declare
that the revolt against the unwritten
law concerning the frock coat habit
is chiefly in the interest of comfort.
Whether the regulation statesman's
garb would be a matter of pride with
them in questioning whether they
would appear to better personal ad-
va%ntage.in solemn black or most be.
Of secondary consideration.
Fear expressed by members of the
house for the doom of the frock coat
has already disturbed the equanimity
of the senate by the appearance of a
couple of belligerents in the ranks of
this black-coated body.
Allie James of Kentucky, the heavy
weight of the house, who weighs near
ly 300 pounds, says the habit of wear
ing light tan and gray sack coat suits
is not q matter of choice. 1t is a neces-
sity, he says, because he never found
a tailor who had cloth enough of one
kind to make him a frock coat suit.

BY taking only a few steps which

open door under the huge pile Of stone

the open door during the daylight
hours rushes an almost constant
stream of humanity, every one on
the alert. There are business men
who are crowding 20 hours of work
into half that time; there are women
with bundles. Rush and strenuosity
are the chief characteristics outside
of that open door.
Inside all is different. There Is a
gentle light in the large structure
that neither makes one squirt his

Present Condition of campaniIe.

months later, was I o become Pope
Plus x. The regular work Of lay
ing the foundation was then begun.
In order to render the basic struc-
ture homogeneous the engineers pro-
ceeded to enlarge the old foundations
by the original method of piles, plat
form, clamped stones, and stones ar
ranged stepwise up to the level Of the
piazza. A ditch about 16 feet deep
that is. down to the level of the pile
heads-was dug all around the old
foundations to the width of about IL
feet and carefully bratticed. Into the
area thus laid bare they proceeded to
drive 3,O76 piles of hardwood from
Galore, fresh cut so as to. insure the
presence of abundant resin.
The average diameter of the piles
is 81 inches. Larch was preferred
to oak, partly because experience has
shown its admirable power Of resist
ing decomposition when buried in the
clay of the lagoon bed, and partly be-
cause larch piles are straight, where
as oak is often bent and twisted, and
would, therefore, have left frequent
interstices.
The piles are on an average Is feet
long. They were driven home to al
most absolute resistance. e., till
they yielded only one millimeter to
each blow from a weight of $40 pounds
raised four feet six inches. They are
calculated to have a carrying power
of 10000 tons. The weight of the
tower they are to support is estimated
at 10000 tons, allowing for hollow
space. At the angles the piles are in
contact with each other, elsewhere
they average a dozen to the square
meter, the total enlargement of the
foundation area amounting to 240
square meters.
The pile driving was completed on
October s, 1904. Then came an at
tack Upon the old foundations, con-
sisting of a cut made eight feet deep
all around, so that the new platform
could be knitted to the old. Then on
top of this new platform massive
blocks of Istrian stone, cut in parallel
opipeds, were carefully cemented to-
gether. These Istrian stones, noted
for their fine grain, are in IL courses,
and enter the old foundations to the
depth of six feet six inches, the
largest blocks being nine feet nine
inches in length and four feet eve
inches in width. The new shaft is
thus being raised from what is practi-
cally a new platform, the weight Of
which is partially borne by the old
piles.
