BUILDING REVOLUTION.
Comparing the Hotel of 1876 with the
Skyscraper of Today.

I'm 1876 the Palmer House, of Chi
cago, was probably the largest and
best-equipped privately owned build
ing In the United States, if not in the
world" says Frederick Upham Adams
in Appleton's Magazine. What would
the guest OF today think of its con-
venienees? 1t was badly lighted with
Pickering gas jets; its elevators were
slower than those now used for freight
service; there was not a telephone in
of its eight floors-in a word, 1t
lacked the innumerable accessories now
demanded. Compare the Palmer House
of 1876 with any one of the great build
ings erected in Chicago or New York
in 1895. Instead of eight stories there
were twenty or more, but even more
startling were the Improvements which
were added in rapid succession after
steel had replaced solid masonry. From
foundation to roof old materials and
were discarded. In the sixteen
years between 1880 and 1896 the build
ing became a complex and wonderful
machine. The carpenter and the mason
were forced aside by the engineer and
the mechanic. The basement was filed
with powerful and intricate machinery,
engines, dynamos, air compressors, au-
tomato stokers, refrigerators. elevator
hoists. switchboards and the number
less devices now required for the
administration of a city build
ing. Express elevators, pneumatic
tubes, messenger calls, automatic regu-
lation of temperature, absolute fire.
proofing, prismatic glass for court light
ing-to .enumerate the details which
were added in those few years would be
tiresome. The building possible in 1896
was as far removed from that. of 1876
as was the latter from the highest de-
velopment in the time of the Wa of
the Revolution"

TRUST cos AND PANIC.
Remarkable Development of Banking
Business in Last Ten Years.

The most remarkable development of
the banking business of New York
city during the past ten years has been
the growth of its trust companies. BY
paying interest on deposits, thereby
attracting business; by not observing
not being obliged to do so by law
certain safeguards required of the ma
tional banks, as, for instance, in the
matter of reserves, they have cut heav-
lily INTO the banks business, says Edwin
Lefevre in Everybody's. In New York
city alone they have deposits of hun
dreds of millions. To be able to make
money after paying the high interest
on deposits that they paid, they were
naturally obliged to take chances and
u risks that no conservative banker
would approve. They engaged In ven
lures, undertakings, development
schemes, etc, that nothing but the
amazing prosperity of the past decade
prevented from failing disastrously.
Now, the public knew all this in a
vague way, but the public always in
sists on astutely waiting for the horse
to be stolen before locking the stable
door. But when Mr.. Barney resigned
as president of the Knickerbocker
Trust Company, it is believed that all
1t had ever heard about the business
methods of certain trust companies was
true of the Knickerbocker. The run
began-somebody asked for a dollar![
and then there was ~panic-sheer blind,
unreasonable fear.
Of course, the suspension of pay
ment by the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany, an institution with $62. 900, 600 of
deposits, was the signal for rum on
other institutions, and not only in New
York city, but elsewhere, trust COM
panies and banks closed their doors.
After sleepless nights and much
thought, the majority of the banks of
the great metropolis of the United
States decided to issue clearing house
certificates. Other cities followed the
example of New York-anything in
order not to have to pay out the money
that they did not have!

WASHINGTON PLACES BAN
ON LAPSED SUBSCRIBERS.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Issues New Order Stating
Time of Grace.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-The Third As
sistant Postmaster-G Genera has issued a
notice TO ~postmasters bearing on orders
issued some time ago. becoming effective
January |, relating to lapsed subscriptions.
Postmasters are advised that though the
rule governing expired subscriptions went
into effect yesterday, it is the desire of
the department to give every publisher. n
reasonable opportunity TO adjust his busi-
ness to the new conditions. Thu notice to
postmasters read, in part, as follows:
Publishers who show good faith and
that they are making rogress should, in
fairness, have such opportunity. The, pur-
pose of the new regulations is to correct
real abuses and not to put into the hands
of postmasters Instruments with which to
annoy and vex publishers whose practises
are normal"
Hereafter, under the rulings of the de-
partment, publishers of weekly newspa-
pers cannot carry subscribers in arrears
more than one year; semi-weeklies, more
than MIN months; tri-weeklies, not longer
than six months, and dailies not longer
than three months. For each violation of
this regulation publishers will be fined
j cent for each four ounces.

The township committee, which has en-
gagged Richard Wayne Parker and Cort-

tends that the law allowing one taxing
district to enter another taxing district and
take taxable property Is unconstitutional.
The township asserts that the section in
which 1t is proposed to locate the plant
IS rapidly building up and that the plant,
if placed there. would keep people from
locating in that section and thus destroy

MILLIONAIRE MINER
DECLARED IN CONTEMPT.
Colonel Greene, Of Copper Fame, Disre-
CARDS Order to Appear Before
Supreme Court.

NEW YORK, Jan 3.-The failure of
Colonel w. c. Greene, president of the
Greene Consolidated Copper Company, to
appear for examination before trial in con-
nection with the suit against him and his
company, begun by James A. and Nellie
Grant. led Justice Geigerich. in the Su-
preme Court to fine the colonel $3.50 for
contempt of court.
Colonel Greene, 1t is said, Is in Mexico or
thereabouts just now and has no inten-
ton of moving East for some time.
The Grants are stockholders of the Col
bre Grande Copper company, which was
absorbed by the Canahea Consolidated
Copper Company, which in turn was swal-
lowed up by the Greene Consolidated.
The Grants allegc that practically all thu
money paid out in dividends by the Greene
Consolidated comes from the large earn
ings of the Colbre Grande, but that under
the manipulation of Greene and his asso-
ciates no dividends are paid on COLLIDE, all
the profits going to pay dividends on
Greene Consolidated and Cananea.

ADVERTISEMENT PLAN FOR
INSURANCE SECURITIES.
Superintendent Kelsey, of New York,
Adopts Scheme Passed at Ma
tional Convention.

ALBANY. Jan. 3.-Superintendent Otto
Kelsey Of the State Insurance Depart
inent has sent to the various Insurance
companies operating in this State a cir
cular letter announcing the ruling of the
department in appraising securities held
by the companies.
The ruling is made so that the compa-
MES may fix a proper valuation of the Sc
curities in their financial statement as Of
December 81 last to the department.
Superintendent Kelsey says he will fol-
low the plan adopted by the various State
insurance commissioners in their national
convention at Louisville last month.
The commissioner decided that at
that time the real market value of Sc
cuIities could properly be determined by
taking the mean Of market prices on the
first day of each month and the 31st day
Of December in the year 1907, and com
putting therefrom the average value for
the year by dividing the aggregate of said
mount by 10.
In particular cases, where exceptional
facts warrant a departure from this rule,
1t shall not apply.

FOREIGNER MENACE TO

WASHINGTON, Pa, Jan. 3.-That

life in coal mines and should b. kept
out of the mines at least until he can

Coroner Sipe finds that nearly all the

in some way to the ignorant foreign
miner.

There are 1900 miners in my c6un-
ty. and "a per cent. of them are for
