A Demolished POstOffice.
Probably the most rapidly built
office building ever constructed in
New York City was one which for
some two years housed the largest of
the branch postoffices of New York.
When the identification of the ap-
proaches of the Grand Central sta
ton had progressed so far it became
necessary to provide temporary Of
fees for the executive offices
and clerical staff of the New
York Central, it was decided to erect
a building upon vacant city block
bounded by Madison avenue, Forty
third and F'orty-fourth streets.
The contractors were asked how
long it would take them to build a
substantial concrete office building,
with suitable quarters for the large
computations and said that under
pressure they could build the build
ing in three months. 1t was up and
ready for occupation within the time
set and, rapidly as it was construct
ed it was so built as to be good for
all time. The very important branch
postoffice station was installed there
as we'll as many of the offices OF
the New York Central company.
Recently the construction of the
terminal has so far advanced that it
has been possible to remove the Of
fees and to transfer the branch post
office station to new and permanent
quarters. Then the order was given
to tear the building down. The most
expert of the artisans who demOlish
great buildings and a large number
of them were employed to attack this
concrete building. They went at it d
few days. ago like sappers and miners
of an army, and in less than a week s
time the building-which has cost
about a hundred thousand dollars
and which was good for many years
service-was level to the ground.
Upon it's site is to be erected imme-
diately the chief exit portion of the
vast Grand Central terminal
The business of this branch postof-
flee is about equal to that carried on
by many cities of the United States
whose populations are from $4,000 to
100000. And yet it is only one of sew
eral branch offices-of which the i'm
mense postoffice to be established at
the Pennsylvania railroad terminal is
to be the argest-which are neces-
sary for handling the postal business
which originates in or departs from
New York City. It cost the New York
Central company about hundred
thousand dollars to secure these tenn
porary quarters and the money in
now, and must be charged to the gem
era1 cost of establishing the new
Grand Central terminal

NEWSPAPER IS SUED,
Libel Charged in Calling International
Paper Company Trust.

New York Jan. 31.-Whether the
International Paper company is a
trust is a question indirectly presented
in libel suit in which testimony IS
now being taken before United States
Commissioner Alexander here The
Lewiston, Maine, Journal is claimed
to have referred to the company as a
trust in violation of the Sherman law
and the company's suit for libel brings
this in issue. As officers of the paper
company reside here. it was agreed
that their dispositions should be taken
before a comm iSsioner.
AlonzO n. Burbank, president and
treasurer of the International Paper
company, testified that the Interna-
tional Paper company was fromed in
1898 by the purchase of fifteen paper
mills. He said that the total outhor-
lied capital stock was $45,O0O.00O,
which to the best of his recollection.
was divided into $25.000,000 preferred
stock and $20,000,000 common stock.
An issue of $10,00O,000 in bonds also
was authorized, he said, at the time of
incorporation.
been treasurer of the Fall Mountain
Paper company and the Winnipiseogoe
Paper company, both of which were
purchased by the International Paper
company. He said these companies
were paid for with bonds and stocks
of the International company, 20 per
cent of the purchase price in bonds
and the remainder in stock. He
thought that all the other companies
had been purchased in the same way.
Questioned about the prices paid for
the various mills and paper companies,
Mr.. Burbank said he had no recollec-
ton of prices except for the Glen
Manufacturing company at Berlin, N.
H. To the best of his memory this
was $2,2O0,00O.
As to the benefits expected to accrue
from the purchase of these concerns
Mr.. Burbank said that the idea was
to lower the cost of production.
did you hope to be able to force
the newspapers into contracting for
a yearly supply of paper?

UNWRITTEN Law.

Fort Worth, Jan. 31.-When the hour
peared for the opening Of the trial OF
John b. Sneed. accused of the murder OF
Captain A. 6. Boyce. uncertainty over
the immediate future proceedings had
not been cleared away. Against the or
der Of Judge Swayne that Sneed should
go on trial today in the Seventeenth dis
trict court there was statement by
Sneed's Attorney TO be rcckoned with.
They announced at the opening OF court
they would argue for DOstponement Of the
trial that Sneeds case might be taken
direct to the court OF criminal appeals.
They said also they might attack the va
lidity Of the Indictment.
1t became apparent today that the de-
Tense would resort to the "unwritten law
to justify the killing. that Is presumed to
have resulted from the elopemcnt OF
Sneed's wife with Boyces son.
After Justice Swayne had denied mo-
ton aimed to quash the indictment against
Sneed, he granted an order directing tele-
graph companies to produce kilograms
that passed between young Boyce and his
father after the elopement. The defense.
fl is believed, designs to show that the
elder Boyce aided in the elopement.

among the many people who have
tested the new tonic. ''Tona Vita, 2

record here.
In speaking of his experience with
the tonic Mr.. Green said: For a
long time 1 have been in poor health
and could not find anything that
would help me. 1 felt duh and lam

strength, as I grew tired easily and

me a great deal, as I seldom ate a
meal that agreed with me- My nerves
were also in a bad condition.

good night rest once a month. My
circulation was very poor and 1 would
take cold very easily.

age I think it remarkable to regain

The sale of the new tonic has in
creased SO rapidly that the special

Only Watchful Care of Men

New York. Jan. 31.-Frank o. Mel
cher. one of the four railroad officers
who were killed in the accident near
Centralia, Ill, on Sunday night last
week. was in this city on Friday be
fore the accident. He spoke to his
friends here with much enthusiasm of
the farm which he had bought and
was developing in the Mohawk valley
in New York state. He said, half jest
ingly and yet quite seriously, that
many of the leading railways officers
of the United States were thinking OF
possible and retiring to farms, where,
at least, they would escape criticism.
Mr.. Melcher looked forward to the
day when he, too, could retire from
railroad life and become both prac-
teal and a gentleman farmer. lie
spoke with utmost approval OF the at
tempt which President William Z.
Brown Of the New York Central Rail-
road company is now making to inter-
est the people of New York state IN
their agricultural opportunities by es-
tablishing various experimental farms,
and he also said that President Brown
had told him that he som etirnes found
himself longing for the day when he
would be able personally to cultivate
his great farm in Iowa. But Mr.
Melcher is not to enjoy his farm IN
the Mohawk valley. SO far as he is
concerned, it is TO be deserted.

tween the accident which caused the
death of Former President Harahan
and Vice President Melcher, and the
one, which, five years ago, caused the
death of President Spencer of the

said that in view of the fact that rail-
way officers are constantly travelling
the number of accidents which has
befallen them is very small Yet it
seems to have been forgotten in this
city that E. c. Scranton, who for
some years was president of the New
York & New Haven Railroad company,
was run over by a train on his road
in front of the railway station at Nor
walk, Conn, and practically cut in
two: that was in 1866. So also. the
late President Cheney, who was really
the founder of the express business in
