But there was another thing that

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
When Logan Was Notified of His Nomination

General John A. Logan received the

by the Republican national conven-
ton in 1884 to inform him that he
had been nominated for -Presi-

temporary lodgings in Washington.
| witnessed the ceremony and heard
the notification speech and General
Logan's brief words of acceptance.
1t seemed to me that the distin-
guished Senator who had been placed
in nomination for Vice President was
in some physical distress, and, in
fact, | afterward learned that he was
at that time suffering from one of
his periodic attacks of inflammatory
rheumatism. 1t was disease which
first fastened itself upon him in the
campaign of the winter of 1862
against Fort Henry and Fort Donel-
son. on the Tennessee River. Gen
eral Logan at that time was exposed
to winter wind and weather, not hav-
ing for two or three days and nights
any shelter excepting that he impro-
vised. He replied to the nominating
committee in a very low tone of voice.
What he said and his manner of say
ing IL lacked the earne5tness and
vigor which were characteristic of
him In the Senate and upon the po-
litical platform.

First SIxyscraper to Go.

From the New ork sun
After MANY years of rumors, the
Tower building, at so Broadway,
New York's first steel skeleton sky
scraper, Is to be removed. PERMITS
sion to raze the pioneer was given
last week by the building department
to the owners, and in q few weeks,
maybe in days, building wreckers
will be swarming over the chimney
like structure which two decades ago
was the wonder of the city. 1t was
built in 1888 from plans by Bradford
L. Gilbert to give a Broadway con-
nection to a building of much larger
area on New street. The Tower
building is eleven stories, and covers
a lot 21 feet wide and 129 feet deep.
When it was erected 1t looked like a
masonry shaft as it piled toward the
clouds.
There was nothing like it in New
York. and for that reason people
came from all sections of the metro
politan zone to gaze at New York s
tower. 1t was one of the sights that
visitors to New York never missed in
those days. The building came in for
much criticism, and it was some time
before the building department would
permit its erection. Never before hao
eleven stories been piled on such q
narrow base and the department
feared the result that might come OF
such venture. 1t revolutionized
building in this city. From it have
sprung the giant structures that look
down from all sides on the "old
pioneer skyscraper."

Pneumonia and the Cars.
From the Chicago Journal
Measles and diphtherla are decreas-
ing in the city, but pneumonia is ad-
Yancing on the double quick One
hundred and forty new cases of this
disease were reported last week, as
compared with thirty mine for the cor
responding week a year ago. 1t IS
some offset to this bad showing to
note that cases this year seem less
severe than usual. Very likely there
are many causes of this increase put
one cause must be kept in plain view.
This is the disgraceful crowding of
cars and particularly of IL cars.
While the city has been growing, its
transportation facilities have stood
still, and the botcherly through
routing schemes of merger magnates
have added confusion to ineft1ciency.
AS a result, the jam on the IL" has
been the worst ever known. The
packed and unventilated cars have be-
come mere clearing houses for the
swapping of disease germs, and pas
sengers who have hung to a strap for
five or ten miles are in no condition
TO resist an invasion of microbes.

The Face Ticker.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
About the most futile thing man at
tempts Is to dictate to woman what
she shall wear and what she shall nos
wear. Mayor Carter Harrison should
have known this when he issued his
edict forbidding the wearing of long
horizontal plumes on ladies' hats IN
street cars. Even aside from this,
his lordly command is superfiuous.
The horizontal feather nuisance, and
1t is a nuisance, will cure itself re-
gardless of his interference. For
long time city councilmen stormed
and passed ordinances, and "Old Sub
scriber" and Constant Reader" de-
livered TRADES in the newspapers,
against the long hatpin. The women
merely turned up their pretty noses
and kept right on wearing them.
Finally, when the men had subsidized
in wrathful impotency. they said they
knew all along those pins were
dangerous and then they discarded
them of their own sweet will.

Wall Streets Dry Rot.
rom the Wall Street Tot5ry,o1


1t is revealing no secret to say that
an unprecedented number of Stock Elk
change and banking houses will go
out of business at the end of this
year, or will reorganize into other
combinations, selling the opportunity
to place the machinery of their bust
ness on a sounder economic basis.
The past year, coming after a period
of depression with contracting trad
ing, almost continuous since 1907, has
developed a condition where what is
known as dry rot can no longer be
concealed
In an old tree of healthy constitu-
ton it is necessary periodically to cut
out the dead wood. The true business
of Wall Street is essentially healthy,
morally and economically, and its
growth is all the more vigorous after
periodic prunings. Moreover, this is
a matter to which it can attend far
more efficiently than Congress or the
State legislatures. as the Stock Elk
change itself has proved in the re-
forms enacted in the public interest in
the past five years.
In all helpfulness and charity a few
plain comments upon dry rot in bank
ing and brokerage houses may be
offered, without creating misunder =
standing. What kills the old-fash-
Toned brokerage firm, with names
familiar to those who follow that
backstairs gossip called society
news" is overhead charges. A house
at Newport, another on Long Island,
a third in the South, a cottage in the
Adirondacks, a dozen expensive club
memberships, and half as many auto
mobiles for each partner in the firm,
make up an expenditure which only
boom times or the depletion of capital
can meet. When the lean times come
something must give way.
But a house suffers not merely be-
cause of the extravaganza of its menu
bers but because of it's ever-increas-
ing inefficiency. The old days when
the broker with a bowling acquaint-
ance with William Fl. Vanderbilt OF
J. Pierpont Morgan could secure
speculative business on the strength
of the alleged "inside information
have gone. They will not return
