THEY DIED TOGETHER.
Couple That Had Lived Together 40
Years Got Their Desire.

New York, Feb. 5.-For 40 years
Adolphus Bennett and his wife, Mary
Suydam Bennett, lived together in their
mouse at the foot of Seventy-ninth
street, Brooklyn. Yesterday the prayer
of their later years was granted and
they died together. No children ever
came to bless them, but as property
around the old farm rose in value rel
atives and friends gathered around
them and throughout that portion of
the greater city their love and com
panionship' became almost proverbiaL
Inc increase in value of the farm which
has gradually given way to business
buildings and residences made them
wealthy, but they seemed to care moth
Ing for that, they were happy with
each other and scores of times rela-
tives and-fFieHds~ have heard them say
that all they wished was that they
might pass into the great unknown to-
gether. "a
Monday Mr.. Bennett came to New
York to attend to some business and
returned to his home late that night to
find his wife had been suddenly taken
Ill Doctors We're summoned, but the
illness, an attack of apoplexy; proved
fat II. When he was told that his wife
was dead, Mr.. Bennett retired to his
own room and his voice was heard in
fervent prayer. When relatives went
to his room after the sound of his
voice had ceased. they found him dead,
his last prayer answered. Death was
due to shock, the doctors said; death

Baldwin Locomotive Works Suffer
From Lack of Orders

Philadelphia, Feb. 5.-Ten thou
sand men have been laid off since
December, by the Baldwin Locomotive
works Of this city because of lack of
orders for engines. Samuel NJ.
Vaucklafn, a member of the firm in
speaking of the conditions at the
works, said:
mo substantial orders have come
in since December. We have received
few scattered orders and we are
working upon these now. Whereas
We We're formerly turning out about
SO locomotives a week, we are now
turning out only 20, and we will have
finished up all our work in a short
time. Then unless We receive some
substantial orders in the meantime we
will have to close.
"Our working force is about 10000
but the lack of orders has compelled
us TO lay off 10000 workmen since
December. The heaviest lay offs
started about January L.
What has been responsible for
this?" was asked
Lack of orders, not only American,
but European as well. Japan is in
financial trouble and is sending us
no orders at all. 1t is the same every
where, not only in America, but the
foreign countries from which we
have received orders"

Ddiih commissioner John Q. Royce
looay appointed two of the four new
udhk examiners authorized under the
law enacted at the special session, and
siso announced the promotion of w.
D Albright from the position of bank
examiner at $500 a year to that of
assistant at $4,000 a year.
Inc new examiners are John Ry-
Beloit
Mr. Royce still has to appoint two
more new examiners besides one new
examiner to fill the place of W. S. AL
bright.
John Ryberg is one of the leading
swedish citizens of Saline county, and
while he is not associated with SEN
ator F. II. Quincy Of Salina in the
banking business, his appointment by
Mr.. Royce is due to Senator Quincy's
influence Mr.. Ryberg has been in the
banking business in Salina for many
years, and is at present chairman of
the Republican county central COM
mittee of Saline county. He is assist
ant cashier of the National Bank of
North America.

long time. He was for some time prio
to the appointment of John @. Royce.

state, and he thoroughly understands
the duties of the office. He has been
really the assistant bank commissioner
during the whole of Mr.. Royce's term,
though his title has been examiner. as
no assistant was provided for the office

sistant.
The banking department has in the
past had four bank examiners whose
business 1t has been TO travel about
the state examining the condition of
the 760 Kansas banks. The work in
the office, however, has made it neces-
sary to use one of those examiners as
assistant, and the result is that the
present new law will increase the

this will make very material differ
ence in the way theh banks of Kansas
are kept in line with the law
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion of late concerning the report
from the bank commissioner which the
state senate received one day during
the legislature in secret session This
report was in response to resolution
adopted by the senate calling for in
formation concerning the manner in
which Kansas banks are complying
with the banking laws, in regard to
excess loans and other matters. and
while no official information concern
ing the nature of that report has
been allowed to get out, it is report
ed that the conditions shown were
what caused the legislature to take
such prompt action in increasing the
number of bank examiners, and pro-
viding for two examinations of banks
each year instead Of only one.
