Those midnight conferences in Mr. Morgan's library, with the prosperity of the entire country at stake, possess more dramatic Interest than any other feature of the period of fear. Car riages and automobiles brought the best known llgures in the financial world to his door; reporters lined the sidewalks, aecosting each man as he entered the building in the effort to gather Information as to what was to be done to relieve the situation. Anx ious citizens who ordinarily would long before have been in bed stood listlessly about, arousing themselves to a show of interest whenever some new arrival appeared or when some man quietly left the conference. When the runs or the Trust Com pany of America and the Lincoln Trust company, far from abating, seemed to grow more determined each day. it became apparent that radical steps would lie necessary to save the trust company situation. Mr. Morgan called the leading trust company men to his library to discuss means of achieving this end. It was late in the night before the meeting began. Mr. Morgan strolled in. lighted a cigar and appeared to be listening with the deepest interest to the excited and per haps incoherent plans of the officers— plans for solving the riddle without money. His cigar finished, Mr. Mor gan impassively lighted a fresh one and .after three thoughtful puffs plac ed It with great care between his fin gers. rested his hand on his knee, closed his eyes and dropped off to sleep. Twenty minutes later he arous ed himself, relighted his cigar and leaned forward. “Gentlemen.” he said, "what you have said has interested me greatly. But it is no longer the time to talk about what you would like tc do. It is the time to talk about what you must do. \Ye need §10,000,000, and you must raise it. Mr. , what will you put down?” He handed a slip of paper to the . an nearest him, ami after a few mo ments of painful consideration this man put down a figure, passing the slip on to his nearest neighbor. When all hud put down their figures Mr. Morgan studied the record with much interest, totaling up the column. “Gentlemen, wi are still $7,500,000 short. Come. Mr. , will you sub scribe a million?” Mr. — was visibly embarrassed, finally confessing that his powers did not go so high. He would have to con sult with Mr. . “Where is Mr. ?” asked Mr. Mor gan. “Is ue at his house?” The man nodded, and Mr. Morgan rang a bell, instructing the man who answered it to call up th • financier and saydhat In* desired his presence Imme diately. When he had arrived and the reason for the request had been explained In* said: “It isn’t a question of whether or not we can do it. We’ve got to do it.” The ottiers fell in line, the money was immediately subscribed, and the trust company situation was relieved.— John Ra il Ryaa in Metropolitan Mag av.ine. NEW YORK’S ISLANDS.

This Kiugiilar name Is given by the inventor, Eduardo Torres y Quevedo, a Spaniard, to ao apparatus intended to take the place of stenography in re porting speeches. The apparatus, which consists simply of a series of little bells, requires the co-operation of eight or ten writers. Each writer takes a single phrase from the speak er's mouth. At the tinkle of a bell on his left he begins to write what he hears. The bell on bis right arrests him and sets his neighbor at .work.
