Tomb Of NuptiaI Rings to Make
Way for Progress.
Colonel Murray Tells Of Visitors Bear
Ing HelrIooms to Be Melted Into
Bullion-ls a Landmark
of Wall Street.

! New York.-A home OF tragedy and
high hope is going the way of all
! places that have outlived their day.
The United States assay Office, after
| 80 years in Wall street, has to make
way for the onward march of modern
| ity.
The doors that have swung open to
admit the gray visaged stranger with
the shadowy eyes or the buoyant
stranger with the eager smile will be
closed forever.
Col. John A. Murray, for so years
the good genius of the picturesque old
building, with its air Of ancient Greece,
is always eloquent on the romances
caught in the cobwebs of its crumbling
walls.
Tell me about the women that pass
its portals" l begged the colonel
Never mind the men,"
The joviap laugh Of Superintendent
Murray Jared the sensitive scales in
the weighing room.
We'll, they come with everything
from broken breastpin that belonged
to their great-grandfather to a bag OF
ore" laughed he of the ready tongue.
Sometimes it's a silver soup toureen
and again it is satchel Of binnicks."
DO they ever bring their mono
grammed wedding silver to be melted
after the court has decided the pres
ents belong to the wife and everything
is over but the alimony?" was asked.
Indeed they do. Not long ago
man of wide acquaintance and consid-
erable wealth came into the office hug
ging a great canvas sack. He ex-
planned that the plunder represented
the kind thoughts and wishes OF his
friends who had been hidden to his
nuptials. He might be displaying the
silver in his own dining room this
very day had not the bride-to-be exer-
cised the womanly prerogative and
changed her mind at the very gate OF
matrimony.
Il want this silver made into long
bar, SO l can put in on my desk" de-
clared the disgrunted bridegroom. 1T
will keep me from stumbling in love
again, because every time l look at it
/ will put on a pair of binders and
suit of arrow proof armor."
How about last seasons wedding
rings?" was the next query.
when they are out of commission
we get them and melt the tender senti-
ments inside into oblivion. 1t makes
you realize the evanescence of human
devotion to see a George to Ellen,
with Eternal Love- going to make up
common gold brick.
"One rainy November afternoon a
snappy eyed little woman came into
the office reception room and asked
for the head man She was carrying
a worn leather travelling bag of the old
fashioned type, and she hung on to
it like it was loaded with diamonds.
"Tm the head man assured her.
"She looked dubious. She was drip
ping wet and her teeth chartered.
After a half hours argument she con-
fided her secret. The bag contained
specimens of ore picked up on her
farm in Ulster county. She was sure
the bag contained new Eldorado. 1t
took the assayer another half hour to
impress upon her that If she had
mountain like the samples the best
she could do with it would be to use 1t
for raising alfalfa.
