The New Fable of the Through Train
the Two Passengers and Nothing
Doing In the Way
of Transfers.

Two High School Heliotropes named
Lib and Angie were very Thick. They
had themselves photographed with
their Heads together and used to Dab
themselves with the same Piece of
Chamois.
Whenever Lib got new Patch for
her Silk Crazy Quilt she would divide
with Angie on a $3.50 Basis And
whenever Angie got ready to sleep on
a Piece of Wedding Cake she would
pinch out a good stable Hunk for
Lib.
Each Girl kept Nightie at the
Other Girls House and, long after
they had retired. the Inmates would
hear smothered Giggles, interspersed
with Fragments of what He said to
Her and what She said to Him.
The Period Of their Adolescence
was about 80 years ago, when Ro-
nance was still alive and Knighthood
was in Flower around every Dancing
Academy West of Pittsburgh.
The two Chums had made a Pact.
They were to be Friends forever and
ever and ever and neither was to hold
out anything from the other.
Each carried in Locket a Four
Leaf Clover presented by One to
whom she had barred her Soul.
After supplementing the Graded
Schools with full course of Mrs.
Southworth and learning to play 'The
Maiden's Prayer" on the Melodeon,
naught remained for them in the way
of passionate Diversion except to go
ahead and get Married.
They waited three years for the
Fairy Prince of their Dreams to come
gathering down Main Street in his
Coach all White and Gold, and then
began to mistrust the Schedule. So
they effected the usual Compromise,
falling gracefully into the awkward
Embraces of two cornfed Lizards
named Otis and Wilbur.
In the Shake-off it befell that Angie
got Wilbur and Lib drew Otis. The
two Brides were somewhat envied, as

SALVAGE FROM LOST SHIPS
Specie in Quantity Has on Occasions
Been Recovered From the Victims
of the Oceans Fury.

Although the chances of being able
to do SO are considered doubtful since
she lies in II fathoms of water, the
Canadian Pacific railway has not
abandoned all hope of relocating the
Empress of Ireland. At any rate, every
effort will be made to recover the
100000 worth of silver, in 1913 bags,
which is still in the specie room of the
sunken liner.
The most notable salvage of silver
during recent years was made after
the Oceana sank In the channel in
March, 1912, through collision with the
Pisegua. The work was hindered by
strong currents and tides, but during
the succeeding three months silver
worth over 6 100000 was recovered at
a very low cost. The Oceana was ly.
ing quite upright; the Empress of Ire
land turned turtle-obviously very
much more difficult position for sal.
wage work.
The 100000 worth of silver, how.
ever, represents but a small portion
of the money which went down with
the Inflated vessel; for thousands Of
pounds belonging to the passengers
themselves must have been lost. The
average passenger on one of these
liners usually carries a plentiful sup
ply of loose cash and bank notes with
him, and it is estimated, as in the case
bf the Titanic, that the loss of paper
money belonging to passengers them.
selves must have been enormous.
The banks, it might be mentioned,
are the gamers in such cases. The
usual procedure when bank notes are
lost is to at once inform the Bank OF
England giving the numbers. Then II

that time the notes have not been re.

HAD SMALL BEGINNING
ORIGIN OF THE BANK OF THE
MANHATTAN COMPANY.
May Be Said to Have Started From
"a Well of Water" Though II Had
the Genius of Aaron Burr
Behind II.

The uncovering of an old iron tank
In Center street recalled a piece of
ancient history in connection with the
Bank of the Manhattan Company, the
Wall Street Journal states. A spring
well 80 feet deep, covered by the iron
tank referred to and the present site
of the bank, 40 Wall street, consti-
tuted the first property owned by the
Manhattan company, parent Of the
bank now bearing that name.
The Bank of the Manhattan Com
pany sprang from a little water COM
pany which commenced business with
"a we'll of water" The charter of the
company was drawn by Aaron Burr.
and its granting was opposed by Alex
ander Hamilton because 1t contained
clause permitting the company ito
employ all surplus capital in the pur-
chase of public or other stock or in
any other money transactions or op-
erations not inconsistent with the con-
stitution and laws of New York or
of the United States"
This clause was the joker in the
charter of company started for the
purpose of supplying the city of New
York with pure and wholesome wa
ter" In 1898 New York city suffered
from an epidemic of yellow fever
which was attributed to an inadequate
and inferior water supply. Here was
Aaron Burr's opportunity for start
ing a bank, in which effort he had,
for many years, been opposed by his
political enemy, Alexander Hamilton,
who had monopoly of the banking
business in New York state until the
charter was granted the Manhattan
company.
Upon the assembling of the leglsla-
ture in 1899 an association of indi.
viduals, among whom Aaron Burr was
a moving spirit, applied for the wa
ter company's charter with a capital
of 100000. The project was. an am
bilious one for those days, and as
there was considerable uncertainty
about the probable cost of the water
system the clause for the employment
effort was made by Alexander Hamil-
ton and the federals to defeat the
charter on account of the clause grant
ing the company banking privileges.
The necessity for proper water sys-
TEN which could only be procured by
the organization of a responsible COM
pany with large capital carried it
through the legislature on April 2,
1893, and it received the governor
signature.
By April % books were opened for
public subscription of the 100000
capital stock (par $50 per share), and
by May Is the entire amount had been
subscribed, the city of New York hav-
ing taken 1000 shares. This was the
first financial victory Of Aaron Burr
over his political enemy. The bank
is the Oldest in the state save one.
It's capital was raised to $2,050,000 in
1903, to permit of the state purchas-
ing 1000 shares. Both the state and
city are stockholders in the Bank of
Manhattan company, this being the
only bank stock owned by the state
of New York.
