BANKING IN ENGLAND.
by London Goldsmiths In thu
Seventeenth Century.

Started by london Goldsrniths In thu
Seventeenth Century.
The business of banking was not in-
troduced into England until the seven+
teenth century, when it began to ba
undertaken by goldsmiths in Londons
who appear to have borrowed it from
Holland. 1t was attacked, as 1%nnova4
lions commonly ere. Mr.. Gilbart in
his "History and Principles Of Banks
ing quotes from a pamphlet PUBLISH
ed in 1876, entitled THE Mystery OF
the New Fashioned Goldsmiths on
Bankers Discovered" a passage that
may be reproduced:

time of the civil commotion-the gold-
smiths Tor new fashioned bankers bes
gan to receive the rents of gentlemen's
estates RENTED to town and to allow
them and others who put cash into
their hands some interest for it If La
remained but a single month in their
hands or even a lesser time. There
was a great allurement to put money
into their hands, which would bear
interest till the day they wanted its
and they could also draw it out BY
f1o0 or ESQ, etc., at a time as they
wanted 1t with Infinitely less trouble
than If they had lent it out on either
real or personal security. The conse-
quence was that it quickly brought q
great quantity of cash into thelE
hands, SO that the chief or greatest Of
them was now enabled to supply
Cromwell with money in advance on
the revenues as his occasion required
upon great advantages to themselves.h

MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and inexpensive and
Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture Of that
dread disease, rheumatism, which is
no respecter of age, persons, sex,
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it is one Of the easiest af-
lictions of the human body to con-
ouer. Medical science has proven 1t
not a distinct disease in itself, but
symptom caused by inactive kidneys
Rheumatism Is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products Of the sys-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form Of urine. The
function Of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are of spOnge-like substance,
the holes or pores Of which will some
times, either from Overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged, and falling
in their function Of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
in the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain Of rhes-
matism and backache, often producing
complications of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases OF
rheumatism because of its direct &C
ton upon the blood and kidneys, re-
lieving, too, the most severe forms OF
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com,
! pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in bot
tie and take In teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The in
gradients can be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time

that l should meet Marion, but l was
a fool and spoiled his scheme. If l
had done as he told me l should have
seen her this morning"
In a few words he reviewed the
events of the preceding evening and
of that morning-of his coming to the
island, his meeting with Obadiah, and
Of the singular way in which he had
become interested in Marion. He
omitted the oaths but told Of VIM
somes warning and of his interview
with the Mormon king. When he
spoke of the girl as he had seen her
through the kings window, and of her
appealing face turned toward him at
the Jail, his voice trembled with an
excitement that deepened the flush in
Neils cheeks.
Captain Plum, 1 thank God that
you like Marion" he said simply. Aft

Yes"

MY life-my men-my ship"
Nathaniel spoke like one to whom
there had been suddenly opened the
portals to a great joy. He sprang to
his feet and stood before Neil, his
whole being throbbing with the emo
tons which had been awakened within
him.
Good God, why don't you tell me
what her peril is?" he cried, no longer
restraining himself. why are you
going to kill Strang? Has he-has he
=" His face flushed with the ques-
ton which he dared not finish.
"No-not that" interrupted Neil.
He has never laid hand on Marion.
She hates him as she hates the snakes
in this swamp. And yet-next Sunday
she is to become his seventh wife!'
Nathaniel started as if he had been
threatened by blow.
You mean-he is forcing her into
his harem?" he asked.
No, he can not do that" exclaimed

Over $4,000 Paid for Property at
Sixth South and State
Some Other Deals.

Activity In State street properties is
evidenced by a deal just closed by Dan
ley Johnson. in which NJ. B. Lichen-
stein transfers to c. A. Spencer the cor
ner at Sixth South and State street,
having a frontage of 1854 feet on State
street. The exact purchase price is not
known, but is said to be close to s37,-

ing the week bring the total to near
the $4,000 mark.
Additional sales are: Se7en-room
house on First avenue for E. P. Knott
to James Mickelsen, $3.50; house at

Danley & Johnson state that the peo-
pie of Salt Lake do not realize the pos
sibflities of the land near the city, espe-
cially the dry farm land west of the
Jordan river. The firm believes that
most of this land can be cultivated,
and that If the proper attention was
paid to it, that hundreds more homes
could be added to the already lange list
in the city. To show their faith by
their works, they intend TO push these
lands in the future

again during the past week, and the
number of inquiries for building sites
was reported heavy. w. L. Roberts

of the bench. where he will erect a
fine home. to cost $4,000. in the near
future. The property is located just
north of the site recently purchased by
Horace Dunbar, lot Al, block 3. Mr..
Roberts is q recent arrival in the city,
and evidently finds things looking
good.
Building operations in the Heights
progress rapidly and the new home
being erected by G. 3. Loekhart is now
rooted in and will be ready for interior
work in a week or two. The Callag-
han home will be occupied in a few
days. With the completion of these
two structures the number of new
homes in the Heights win be increased
to fourteen. and it is known that dur
ing the coming spring there will be
five new residences under construction
in addition to the others.

CHANGE FROM RESIDENCE TO BUSINESS DISTRICT
Pictures Show the Wonderful
Transformation During
Two Score Years.

FORTY years have brought many
n changes to State street. From a
residence thoroughfare to a lively
business district of the city is the
record of that period.
The two pictures given are illustra-
tive of the wonderful changes that
have occurred In 1S69-T0 the city hall,
now occupied as the police station,
was not crowded against other and
larger buildings as at present. but was
the most pretentious structure on the
block, and had more than enough
breathing space.
As will be seen in the picture show
ing the city hail. looking northeast
from a point near the corner of State
street and Second South streets there
were no buildings on the east side of
State street. The city hall was set
well back into the corner lot, and the
ground was vacant where now is To-
Gated the magnificent home of the
Y M. c. A.
Residences, and scattering at that,
were situated on both sides of the
street, and trees lined the sidewalks
where once flowed clear, ripping
water from the mountain streams
The only business place on the street
at that time was a tin shop on the
west side of the street, where the large
home of the Consolidated Wagon <
this, by the way, could hardly be term
ed a business place, inasmuch as the
tin shop was located in the basement
of a dwelling, owned by the man who
made tin cups, tin plates ana all kinds
of tinware and strung them out in
front of his place as a sign to the pass
erby. 1t was not until a few years later
that q blacksmith shop was erected on
the site of what is now the Studebaker
Bros. building.
In the old city hall, forty years ago,
was the town clock, which chimed
forth the hours, and warned the chill
dren of curfew time.

between First and Second South streets.
