 There is likely to be considerable alterations in the plans for the addi- tion to the court house before work is actually begun. To keep within the appropriation of S50,OO0 and do what the bar association thinks is neces- sary will be difficult, thus those who use the building are confronted with a shortage of funds on the one hand or lack of sufficient accommodations on the other. To try to adjust mat ters there will be a conference of the county commissioners. the archi- tect and the bar committee in the court house Thursday next at 10 o'clock, and it is likely that the con- tracts for the work will be awarded soon after.

Ii there is any brooding more pathetic,
any anxiety more acute than that of the unin-
splred hen IN charge Of ducklings that have
been apportioned to her rearing through the
unfalrness Of some barnyard plotting, it is
that Of the editor Of the Manufacturers Rec
ord when he surveys any steps toward reform
One of his latest ponderous warnings is en-
TITLED Reform as to Receivers Fees and it's
Dangers Reform to this editor means ex-
actly what pond does to the hen He is
full of loathing Of it, and cannot imagine any
creature capable of gleefully swimming there
in.
Hence his solemn admonition. The abuses
practiced relative to receiverships under the
New York laws-which are about the same as
other states laws, by the way-were such
that estates could be literally devoured in
fees to receivers, attorneys and others sup
posedly appointed for the purpose of saving
the Wreckage and making the most Of it for
the creditors and the owners Under the per-
centage basis Of charge, a receiver could real
ize payment on account Of his position-oft-
en- there was little or no real work involved
that was beyond all reason The receivers
and counsel for the Knickerbocker Trust Co.,
for instance, were allowed $4,000 each, but
the Attorney General Of the State secured
an injunction to prevent the payment Of this
sum, and the fees were cut down to $4,000
or $4,000 each.
According to the new banking law, the
State Superintendent Of Banking acts as the
official iquidator Of all banks which fail, where
they are incorporated by the State. This at
once cuts down the plundering by receivers
and lawyers, gives them fair return for the
work they do and ability they bring to bear
upon it, and removes the temptation to the
wrecker to throw a concern into bankruptcy
for the sake of the rake-off.

body else got on the ground.
It's so unutterably sickening to hear this
prattle about men Of Charge ability" We've
got them, thank heaven, but they are not, as
rule, gracing the mahogany fittings of bank
or other big commercial house. These are very
often the accidents of fortune, in power by
the grace of subordinates who work for a
weekly wage Here and there real Captain
Of Industry rises from the ranks, but the vast
majority Of such large ability people as the
editor Of the Record reverences would be in a
pitiful blue funk if asked to extract cube
root or tackled by a subject which needed
phosphorus, not fat, for it's solving
And if really big man, of really large
ability, did have opportunity to display it
and save to poor stockholders or depostors a
large portion of their investments, why should
he not consider it as much a responsibility as
any other civic duty? We rather think he
would-if he were the right sort Of man and
had the Simon-pure large ability.
The fact is that we are hypnotzed by ex-
ternas. The fellow in the automobile i'm
presses us as Of larger ability than the one in
the carriage and as for him who Walks-why,
he can't have any brains at all! The "boiled
shirt" has the eternal come-over the hickory.
We bow to the SNUG and fat-jowled who sit
in the silent pretense Of wisdom and twiddle
their thumbs While the man who is doing
things worth whie-and who does not express
traditional clap-trap-belongs to the "wild-
eyed ranters," and has literally to fight his
way against the lethargy of the drones and

grit enough to win his way, through the big

prayer that rises in many an honest pirates
heart as he views some prospecting institu-
ton which could be hurt to his own profit.
Now the law as it stands in New York today
is a serious detriment to that kind of gentle
man and hence the editor is obliged to view it
as a just reform. Only he sighs out his
fear:
"Yet there is danger on the other side.
The handling Of large undertakings requires
men Of large ability. It is hardly possible
that men of great financial power could be in
duced to accept the receivership of financial
institutions, with all the responsibility and
work involved, for the nominal remuneration
allowed under the new law" etc.
Always the financial fetish that rich men
are necessarily "men of large ability" when,
as a matter Of fact, under our present class
legislation, there is more genuine ability, hus-
tie and versatility required to run a peanut
stand than there is to head National Bank.
In the one instance, the proprietor has to
make good or go under in competition. In the
other, things are pretty we'll arranged To
have this Charge ability our editor so pro-
foundry admires is to possess the spondulicks
necessary to hire an individual lawyer, an
accountant or any poor devil with BRAINS to
figure out the problems.
When poor John Smith, real estate
dealer lights on some cinch that he,
John Smith, can't take advantage of
himself, he goes to the fat, conserVa-
tive, Charge ability" man and, after
surviving the frost which meets him at the
door, and enduring as much humiliation as the
man of Charge ability is pleased to infict,
John Smith unfolds the plan. Sometimes he is
given tiny slice Of the resultant profits, IN
money; but never in the world does the man
of Charge ability' confess that it was not

The Smart Set

"HE fact that this winter will be
gayer than any for many years is
causing rejoicing among the older
members of society as well as
among the interesting group of girls
who will have their formal introduction
this season Everybody is glad that
the charming dances of which Mrs. Car
was patroness are to be continued this
year. 1t was feared that after her
marriage last year she could never be
prevailed upon to resume the dances.
and 1t was certainly felt that they
would not be quite the same without
the direction ef this popular matron.
OF course there will be the Greenway
balls, to which one always looks for
ward. The invitations are already out
and the functions will be held at the
Fairmont. Then there is the little club
which goes under the name of the Fri
day Night. which is one of the most
thoroughly enjoyable dancing clubs in
San Francisco. The members of the
Gaiety club are putting their heads to-
gether TO decide the dates on which
their dances will be held and also the
new members who will take the place
of the many who have married or have
gone away since last winter. Rumor
also has 1t that a new series of dances
is to be inaugurated under the title of
the Colonial dances, which will be held
in the Colonial ballroom in the Hotel
ST. Francis. The younger set has for
several years urged Mrs. Charles o.
Alexander to come to their rescue and
organize new dancing club. the need
of which has been felt, and if report be
true she has at last been persuaded to
do so. Last year II was remarked how
very few private balls were given and
this year as many of those who always
entertain in that pleasant manner are
away it will be the greatest acquisition
to have another club added to the list
which now stands. 1t is safe to con-
clude that II Mrs. Alexander. who is
always brimful of the cleverest ideas.
will carry out her plans these affairs
Will be more than usually charming
Three dances probably will be held. the
last to be a colonial cotilIon, and one
may be confident that the features of
this occasion will be unique as well as
beautiful. The list of guests will in
clude the younger married set as well
as the debutantes of this and the last
few seasons, and to the list of names
will be added the names of college
men. The names of the patronesses OF
these attractive dances have not been
made known, but they undoubtedly will
be chosen from among the prominent
