In the August American Maya
zine. George Fitch, the Peoria Him
OILS. humorist, writes comieal piece
entitled "Homeburg's Two Four
Hundredths" 1t is a sketch of the
Smart Set of small town, and re-
ports the warfare between the Pay
leys and the Singers, the two fam
lilies in the town which put on the
most airs" Following is an eN-
tract.
Mrs. Payley, having been on the
ground long time, had fortified
il. of course. and was president OF
all the clubs. But inside of a month
Mrs. Singer flanked her position. She
declined TO join most of the clubs
on the plea of being a busy woman,
and organized flower mission. Its
object was to distribute flowers to
the sick and needy who generally
consisted of Pat Ryan. Pat was
nearly smothered in flowers that
year, being good-natured, and as the
work of collecting said flowers in
volved a great deal of meeting in
the Singer home and dancing in the
Singer attic, which was foored with
hard maple that winter. Mrs. Singer
had the girls of the town organized
into a Roman phalanX before spring.
Mrs. Payley was triumphantly re-
elected to the presidency of all her
clubs that winter, but Mrs. Singer
organized a public library associa-
ton and pulled off a german. Mrs.
Payley attended. and when she tried
to patronize Mrs. Singer with her
compliments, that clever infighter
beat her to it by explaining the the
DRY of the german to her. That made
Mrs Payley so mad that the next
month she invited the State presi-
dent of the Federation of Women S
Clubs to visit her, and didn't ask
Mrs Singer TO the tea. The next
week Mrs. Singer organized a country
club 1t only consisted of two-room
pavilion in which picnics could be
held and dances could be pulled of,

1t was in Italy that the art of bank

Venice. which was founded in 1l57.

The Bank Of Genoa was founded
about 100 years after the Bank of
Venice. Macaulay, in his history of
England, has partial description of
the operations of this bank, which
existed from 1920 to 1898.

only four considerable banks in
Europe. but on July q of that year

known reason from st. Gotthard,
Bishop of Hildesheim, who died in
1898.
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century the st. Gotthard was prob
ably the most frequented Alpine pass;
but it was gradually deserted for
others. The road over the pass, con-
structed between 1890 and 1882 by the
cantons of Uri and Ticino, is one of
the best and most convenient of the
Alpine carriageways, and is free
from snow during four or five months
of the year; but since the completion
of the railway it is not much used.
Nevertheless, it is still interesting to
walk or drive over the pass, as the

ITALIANS THE FIRST BANKERS

United States. This bank is known
in financial history as the Pennsyl-
vania Bank. 1t began operating on
July II. 1880, and since that time
Pennsylvania has figured eonspicu-
ously in the banking affairs of the
country. Besides being the home of
the first bank in the United States,
Pennsylvania has the distinction of
having the first bank Incorporated
, under the national banking act.
Charter No. l was given to the First
National Bank of Philadelphia. That
State is also the home of the first
trust company. In 1909 the Pennsyl-
yania Company. a corporation to
write insurance on lives and grant
annuities. was organized in Philadel-
phia. In 1886 this institution was au-
thorized to execute trusts. Not until
1853, however. was 1t empowered to
act as executor and administrator.

it descends on both sides. is twen-
ty-eight feet broad and twenty-one
feet high. 1t takes an express train
about twenty minutes to pass through
the tunnel. The air in the tunnel Is
fresh and free from smoke.
During the construction of the st,
Gotthard tunnel, which took nearly
ten years, there were 800 deaths
among the workmen. Included among
these were the engineer and contrac-
tor. This heavy loss of life was due
to insufficient ventilation, the high
temperature, the exposure of the men
to the Alpine climate after emery
ing from the tunnel, and the poor
character of the food.
The st. Gotthard is a mountain
group. one hundred and sixty square
miles in area, with number of diff
ferent peaks, extensive glaciers, and
about thirty small lakes. 1t is fam
Gus for its rich Alpine flora. Many
rare minerals are also found there.

THE PEOPLES ROSTRUM

II was evidently his idea that the
Wittpenn candidates would come out
ahead in the election. When they
did not. MIR. Dixon got over his sur
prise in due time. and then settled
down to finding some way to contest
the election. He found it. in what
he pleases to call defects in the COM
mission government law.
1t is pleasing to see that Governor
Fielder will have the matter rene
died without letting 1t get to court.
The Legislature can remedy any de-
fects in one day. and save the ex-
pense and time of a long period of
litigation.
The commission form of govern
ment was adopted in Jersey City by
1000 majority These figures show
that the people wanted this form of
government. and Mr.. Dixon makes
himself odious. by later trying to de-
feat it on technicality.

The Reason why.

To the Editor of the Evening Star
Sir. We. over here in Jersey City,
have to hand it to Warren f. Dixon,
the legal light of the Wittpenn adj
minlstratlon. For downright nerve,
he has them all standing at the post,
and Democrats here are just begin
ming To wake up to the fact that the
commission form . of government,
which they recently won, was about
to be contested because Mr. Dixon
wants his $6,0OO-a-year job back and
several other politicians would have
liked to ensconce themselves in well
paying chairs again.
Mr. Dixon drew his salary for just
such things as finding defects in
commission laws--his reason for con-
testing the election. 1t was his
place to pick out the defects before
the election, instead of letting the
city run into some $4,000 expense,

Over In the Senate the situation Is
not vastly different There are more
radicals in the Senate than in the
House. and larger proportion Of ad-
ministration Democrats, or Demo-
Gratis who are anxious to be known
as administration Democrats, which
makes a little difference But there
isn't any currency enthusiasm In the
Senate. Senator Owen says the bill
will pass and he has a monopoly Of
optimism on the subject. He is going
to get the Senate committee at work
on the bill this week, and 1t is pos
sible that a currency bill may be re-
ported to the Senate before the House
has one before 1t.
On the surface there's all the max.
ing of a finish fight between the
White House and Congress in evil
dence. Probably, though. it is only
on the surface. The wiseacres are
predicting that after few more hot
spells like that of this week the Pres
ident will send a hurry-up message to
Congress, and the many-authored bill
he wants passed will be made a eau
Gus measure and iammed through

while the Senate will waste little
| time in passing 1t and getting away.
II half the Democrats who are talk
ing loud about the currency bill

President is going to have a nice lit
tie bout with Congress before he
gets his currency law on the statute

TIME st. Gotthard Railway, cor

THE st. Gotthard Railway, con
strueted in 1S72-S2 at a cost of
$54, 100000, is one of the greatest
achievements of modern science. Be-
sides the great tunnel at the top of
the line, there arelseventy- others
of shorter length. Seven of these are
spiral tunnels which pierce the sides
of the valley, making the ascent
more gradual.
In 1869 and 1871 Germany. Italy. and
Switzerland signed an agreement for
the construction of a railway with a
tunnel through the st. Gotthard. This
great tunnel itself cost over $11 900, !

miles shorter than the Simplon tun-
