NEW YORK. Jan. 4. -The anxiety
that tins prevailed among t ho clerks in
the offices of big corporations, broker'
age Turns and banks in the downtown
.!ini,'i was relieved this week when
the mutual distribution of the yearly
Nmuscs occurred. As a rule in these
oilives the clerks, and even the heads of
departments, receive small salaries but
these are brought up to a very attrac
tive figure by cash di-trihutions made
at the en 1 of the year, One prosperous
firm oi private bankers for several years
lias distributed New Year gift of 100
per cent to all its clerks to that an
employe whoso salary -was nominally
JloOt) really received $30iK) a year, It
was feated, on accjunt of the October
panic and t!io tightness of the money
market which "till prevails, that this
Urges would be entirely cut tlf or
irrcatly reduced this yeaf. When the
end of December arrived and the usual
bonuses were handed out in practically
all of the office, there was consequently
irreat relief amon- the worried one.
The steel corporation with its army of
clerks and junior officials a uiual b-d
the way in the amount disbuiMed and
it is said that $3,000.0(10 was handed
out to the men in the office of this one
concern in recognition of its successful
car. The leading bank, and trust com
panies have maile ;-it'ts i f from 10 to 50
per cent of the year's salary to their
clerks according to the amount of bnsi
rcs shown by the yearly balance taken
on December 31. J. P. Morgan & Com
pany, conservative in this as in other
matters, follow the mile of distributing
10 or 15 per cent of the yearly salaries,
according to the length of service of the
employe and it is understood that the
usual custom 'was observed this year.
Altogether it is figured that $10,000,000
or over Iim been di-tribudd by offices
in the downtown business section to
clerks an! other employes. The sum
is well iiji to the usual figure and this
is interpreted as a further sign of re
stored confidence nmon,' the financial
and business Interests.
cum puny, rreunrick Joseph, to reveal
the present holder of the majority of
t be stock, of the company 'which he
aoinirivl in 1VH7, a thlttj which he has
so far- steadily refused to do. AH sorts
of start ling alligations are made con
cerning the methods of the trust In
eliminating competition and absorbing
would bo Independents even aplnst
the will of the latter. It Is altered for
example that Mr. Joseph acquired the
majoilty of the slock of the New York
Uuichers' Dressed Meat Company mere
ly a an ajjeut of the trust for the pur
pe of turning It over, and that be
previously left at least one other Inde
pendent company elsewhere because It
was thought that he, was acting In the
capacity of a trust agent. The minority
stockholders who are bringing the ac
tion because of their desire to know
just what Mr, Joseph has done with
his stock further point out 1 tint this
stock which at the time of his coming
lo the com puny had a fixed value, has
now no sale whatever. The consuming
puhliu of the city looks on the move

welcome, any plan holding even a faint
hopt. of more reasonable price for Its
incuts.

FISHERMAN'S ENVOY.
When earth's last whopper is landed,
and the trout streams are shrunken
and dried,
And the oldest fish yarns are faded and
the younge-t liar has died,
We shall rest, and faith we shall need
it lie less for an aeon or two
Till the master of all good fishers shall
set us casting anew.
And fhoac that caught fish shall be
happy; they shall wade in a golden
stream,
And catch trout of solid diamonds the
kind that yon land in a dream
And shall have the experts to post them
Izaak and Grover and such
And a million trout at a wading shall
not be considered too much.
And only Ike Walton shall praise us,
and only Ike Walton shall blame,
And no one shall fish for money, and no
one shall fish for fame,
But each for the joy of the fishing shall
fish in his separate star,
And his bait jug shall never be empty,
tfor the good of the thirsts that are!

That New Yorkers live too fast, worry
too much and do i;ot exercise enough is
the conclusion of the Hoard of Health
in its attempt lo account for the great
increase in the numticr of deaths from
heart disea-c in the metropolis in re
cent years. While Father Knickerbocker
is represented as a staid old gentleman,
his children as indicated by figures are
literally racing toward the grave. Cov
ering a period of more than ,40 years
these figures indicate in a staggering
iind unexpected manner the rate of in
i rcase of deaths from, nervous strain of
the racking, rushing life of the world's
busiest city. Nearly tiOOO persons have
found the htain of the modern mode of
living and working in New Y'ork too
great and succumbed to heart disease
during 1007 showing an increase of l.WO
over the year of 100(1. That this sur
prising total and appalling increase is
due to the killing rush of the city ii
the verdict of practically all the health
officers. The seriousness of the situa
tion is indicated by the figures which
show that wtjile deaths from many
other diseases known as mortal against
which preventive measures can lie taken
have shown a steady decrease, deaths
from organic heart disease, the result
of worry and overwork, have shown a
steady and unprecedented increase.
"Rushed to death" would seem to lie
rapidly becoming an appropriate New
York epitaph.
The subway Is no longer to tie a
nickel lodging house for persons who,-by
paying a single fare, have been able to
sleep all night In the ear while the
trains run up and down the line, Early
In the history of the subway It was (lis
covered by the underworld that, Instead
of shivering nn park benches a far more
attractive and comfortable manner of
pa-sing the winter nights was to pay a
nickel to get Into the subway and then
ride In lighted and heated ears ss long
as desired, an. arrangement made po'
sildc by the system of changing from
local to cxpre-s trains, fine could liter
ally ride forever for five cent, with
plenty of newspapers dropped by other
passenger to read ond the entleh g
chance of picking up a valuable bundle
forgotten by some other traveler. A a
result nn onny of "subway sleepers"
sprang up, many of whom waited for
certain guards with whom they were
familiar to insure a peaceful rest, giv
ing them In return a clg.tr or a dime.
At the height of this practice it was
estimated that subway trains were e.
comiuod.iting liwiv sleepers than even
the biggest hotel In the city. But as
usual a good thing was worked to death
and hereafter no one can rbli farther
than the end of the line without the
payment of another fare, and would -he
sleepers will hereafter be rudely thrust
forth into the night. The subway will
furnish transportation but nob sleeping
quarters.
s
The curious discovery hits ju.t been
inude that there is a plot of ground in
the heart of New York which has never
had a building on it and has conse
qiiently produced no return to the on
er since the Island of Manhattan was
inhabited by the Indians. Nor Is It a
fivak lt except In this respect, but a
respectable area 00 by 00 feet. Located
nt Fifty-eighth street and Eighth ave
tine which is smith of Central Park and
just about the center of the population
of the city, the plot has through cen
tiiricw remained Idle, while adjoining
loU were selling for thousands of dol
bus a front foot, The unearthing of the
information concerning till unique lot
is due to the ivcording of its transfer
by its millionaire owner as a free gift
to his son. The former owner who has
held for many years has always refused
offers for it although they have been
frequent and large. The present holder
refuses to divulge his plans concerning
this interesting piece of ground, and o
it remains to be seen whether an abso
lutely unproductive plot will continue
to exist in the center of the world's
busiest city.
Every once in a while New Yorkers,
alarmed at the ever-increasing cost of
living, rise up in rebellion against one
or another monopoly in foodstuffs. Now
it is the beef trrns-1 that is the object
of an uttack in which the independent
butchers of the city are leading the
way. Several years ago these independ
ent dealers organized themselves into an
association known as the New York
Butchers' Dressed Meat Company, Now
they have awakened to the fact that
apparently the big packers of the trust
have secured control of this concern and
that, if this control is not broken, the
trust will have absolute control of the
meat situation In New York, To find
out whether this is the case they have
begun a suit through the minority stock
holders to compel the president of the
