BUILDINGS PROGRESS
ING RAPIDLY

Despite the weather conditions
work on the several new buildings
on Chestnut street continues with
unabated vim. The new Lyric
Opera is being rushed as rapidly
as possible at the present time and
it is expected to have the depart
ment for the use of the Home
Stores Company in readiness for
occupancy, about December 10th.
The new Niatheson block, which
will be one of the most Imposing
on the street, 50x120 and three
stories in height, also makes rapid
progress. 1t is understood one of
the store rooms in this building
has been leased by the F. w. Wool
worth company, while Mr.. Mathe.
son states that applications for
the other store apartments have
been received from various firms.
The new Fitger Block, one part of
which will be occupied by the
Reinertsen-Gamble Co., with
fine stock of clothing and furnish
ings, receives the finishing touches
and the firm will be well establish
ed in their new location for the
holiday trade. The American Ex-
change Bank, one of the nobbiest
Of the new buildings on the range
this season, receives interior finish
and the American Exchange will
occupy same early the coming
month. Likewise the building
under construction for the accom-
modation of the New State Bank
Of Virginia nears completion, the
new institution expecting to open
it's doors in another ten days.
The addition to the Ormonde
Hotel, which will give the occup-
ants much needed room, is being
pushed as fast as weather condi-
tons will permit, and the new
theatre building being erected by
Nels Anderson for the accommod-
alton Of a new play house to be
opened by R. A. Mclean will be
in readiness for occupany about
the beginning Of the new year.
Virginia has not had building
boom this year, but it has seen the
expenditure of approximately
$500, 900 on new and substantial
buildings on it's main thorough
fare, while large number Of new
residences have aided in relieving
the congestion which has been so
apparent for the past couple Of
years. And already plans are in
the making for similar improve
ments for the coming year,
principally among the new build
ings planned being the Elks
Home on west Chestnut.

are being put on the new building
to be occupied by the new State
Bank of Virginia, and President

Germ will be enabled to occupy

al opening about December 4th.
The new building excites the
admiration of all, the massive in
terror brick work finish and oaken
cross-beams giving the place an
air of substantially, an air which
is added to by the steel safe, vault
equipages and other permanent
fixtures being installed this week.

PICKED HIS PoCKET-B0oK,

E. G. Sphinx, pressman on the
Eveleth News, is complaining wit
ness in a case against two Gypsy
fortune tellers whom he alleges
"touched" him for his pocket
book containing $40. Sphinx claims
he was accosted on the street by
the women andswhile talking with
one the other did the abstraction
act. The women were arrested
by the Duluth police upon infor-
nation from Eveleth.
One feature of the case that
really needs explaining, however,
is how a printer ever amassed so
much wealth at one time.

CONSCIENTIOUS.

The late Bishop Williams of Con neticut was very fond of children. and it was always joy to us young sters when he came for a visit to my fathers parish. His anecdotes and stories enliveued the entire household. once. when he was staying with us. writes a contributor in Harper's Mag azine he told the following story.
 "One Sunday morning. just after breakfast. l repaired to the rector's study. where I was soon followed by his little four-old son. who climbed up on my knees and began to talk. Suddenly the little fellow looked up into my face and said. Bishop dc 'oo want to see my piggy book

MORE LOVE LETTERS
 THAN HE CAN TEND ID
Success of Los Angeles Marriage Bu
 reau Shows Popular Tendency.

Los Angeles is believed to be the most noted place for "fads" on the California Coast. Oakland used to be close second but since the So- cialists surrendered to Mayor Mott's diplomacy, she has taken back seat.
 One of Los Angelese' most notable "fads" is Chief of Police Sebastian's marriage bureau. It is proving an immense success.
 It seems to fill a Tong felt want Its operations show that people are not so averse to matrimony as has been suggested. when the conditions are helpful Of course there's a great deal in that. Here's a specimen of how it works, says the Los Angeles Tribune:
 If business keeps on growing at the matrimonial bureau instituted by Chief Sebastian, a special officer will have to be detailed as corresponding secretary. There are more love let ters coming in than a plain policeman with other things of which to think can do justice

is accepted. Two per cent interest per annum is paid on deposit or ? 1-2 Der cent if one has as much as S20 and buys postal savings bank bond with it.
 When deposits are made certificates of deposit are issued on the back of which there is table showing the interest drawn by that particular cer- tificate. One may cash his certificate any time but if he cashes it before the time for which it was issued ma lures he gets no interest.
 It is expected there will be much business transacted among the poorer class of people, the children, and those who have antipathy to the conner cial banks. though the amount of cash received may not total any great sum. There will probably be something of rush for a few days while the bank is yet a novelty.

POSTAL BANK WILL
 BEGIN BUSINESS TODAY
Deposits Will Be Received Any Time
 After g O'clock.

At nine o'clock this morning the new Phoenix Postal bank will open its doors for business. metaphorically speaking. Literally speaking the bank has no doors but will do business through one of the regular postoffice windows Ernest F.. Anderson former ly a postoffice clerk. later postal clerk between Phoenix and Los An geles, has returned to the Phoenix office and will be in charge of the bank.
 For those who may want to patroniZe the new institution a few facts will be of interest Deposits will be received for $l or any greater amount up to S10O, but no depositor may place more than that amount in the bank during one month. Those who have less than a dollar but still desire to start their savings are accommodated in another way providing that not less than ten cents is accepted. By paying ten cents the depositor is given q card and ten cent postol savings bank stamp which is attached. Later as he accumulates ten cent pieces he may buy stamps and attach them to the cara. w nen ten nave been bought the patron may open an account for S1 by depositing the card.
 The bank is designed as a con venience for people of small affairs. The capitalists must go elsewhere for their big deals. The limit received from any one depositor is $500 and it will take five months to get that much in the bank by playing the limit. Those who desire to leave larger sums in the keeping of the government may buy money orders which are good for three years and at the end of that time may be eXchang- ed for a treasury certificate, if the patron desires to leave the money there longer.
 Another feature of the postal bank is that deposits must be in even money of the same multiple as currency cer- tificates. One may deposit $l, g.. g.. s1O, $20. s5O or s1OO. No odd change
