Beginniaq ct National Banks.

(From Masters of Capital in Amer
lea by John Moody and George Kibbe
Turner; in the June McClure's.)
The Fir>t National Bank was an in
stitution like nothing that preceded it,
and, for that matter, exactly like no
national bank that has followed. In
1877 John Thompson sold out, and the
institution went into the hands of Ba-
ker, Fahnestock and Thompson's son.
1t was, and has been ever since, a ST.
lent, closely held private institution,
not unlike a firm of private bankers.
Its chief business, like theirs, has been
the purchase of and marketing of cor
porate securities. 1t is, in the highest
degree known in this country, a ''inan-
cial' bank.
For forty years it has sat on Broad
way, at the western end of Wall St.,
closer to the inside movements of the
street than any other banking i~nstitu-
ton, and least understood of all of
them. By 1879, the end of the sale of
government bonds, it had grown until
it overshadowed every other instru-
ment for distributing this chief public
investment. George Baker, a silent,
conservative man, was already a big
figure in the financial district of New
York; in that wear he was made a
trustee with the old merchants who
governed the great Mutual Life. Then
came the end of old Wall street and
the beginnings of the Wall street of
today; the end of the great sale of pub
lie debt; the beginning of the national
of corporate securities; the
concentration of modern capital in the
financial district of New York.

MR.. ALEXANDER DELIVERS A
MASTERLY ADDRESS.

Anticipating an outpouring of the
people to hear the address of Hon. c..
H. Alexander Thursday night, the ap-
pointment was chai ged from the court
house to the park, where an immense
audience did assemble to hear the
distinguished speaker. The crowd was
variously estimated at from 600 to 1000,
and gave the most courteous and in
terested attention.
Ex-Mayor B. Leland introduced Mr..
Alexander in a few but choice and elo-
quent sentences, leaving it to the
speaker to make his own speech.
Mr.. Alexander spoke along the line
of his usual argument, treating in a
large way the duties of citizenship,
pointing out the man-power behind ev-
cry cause and government, and appeal
ing for a standard of measurement for
men that knew but one grade of hon
esty-the good old-fashioned variety of
garden honesty that means honesty.
While caustic and pointed in his ref
erences to Major Vardaman and his rec
ord, Mr.. Alexander never for a moment
departed from a high level of argu-
ment, clothing every sentence in clean
English and pointing it with a truth
that scored. His argument through
out appealed to a higher manhood, a
moral, sensible, just and economic citi-
zenship, and it was a compliment in
deed the close and appreciative atten-
ton given him by the many good wo-
men who were present. The writer has
an idea that men we're stood up and
talked to- by their women folks after
the speaking. Water Valley Progress.

Nine-year-old Edna Clausen, who

her mother, whom she believed to be
stopping at SAC North Marshall street.

pealed 10 a friendly policeman for
aid. After he had made a careful call-
vass of the whole block on Marshall
street between Spring Garden and
Green streets, without finding any
trace of the woman, he took the girl
TO the Detective Bureau and turned
her over to Detective Shea. who has

proved fruitless, however. and she was
sent back to her grandmother here

Edna told Detective Shea that she
was sure that the address her mother
lived at was SAC North Marshall street.
She said that she had always lived
with her grandparents and that her
father and mother visited her in Will

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-The
recent epidemic of railroad train
wreck disasters, at a time when
traffic is reported as unseasonably
light, has led Chairman Clements OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to declare that an investigation to be
started to determine whether certain
railroad officials higher up" were not
IN measure responsible for attempt
ing to handle such excursion traffic as
crowded trains at Rochester, n. Y.
with more consideration for speed
and revenue than for safety Of the
travellers.
"One big, responsible official, locked
up, would do more toward protecting
the public in these matters than any
number of fines or suits against sub
ordinate employees" Judge Clements
asserted
