Boston Proposes to Pay Signal Tribute | to Hw Worth, Bostox, Jan. 24.—The ornamentation of the | center of Copley Square by statne or fountain'| | has been a much-discussed question in this city | for some time past. The square is beauti- fally bounded, and Trinity Church, of which Phillips Brooks was pastor before his elevation |to the bishopry, is one of the hand-| | some structures bounding upon it. There has been a number of attempts made to place statnes of more or less distinguished personages | in the square one of them Christopher Colum- bus, but these have been frustrated by the art | commiss'on on the ground either of inartistic | worth or incompatibility. | The Journal eave this morning: “What bet- | ter honor could Boston pay to the memory of | | Phillips Brooks than to place his statue in Cop- | ley Square? Of our illustrious dead is there one | worthier of this tribute? “By common consent this beautiful square surrounded by lofty structures is consecrated | toreligion and education for a memorial of a great leader of New England thought and jlife.

The District Commissioners Decline to Act as Collection Agents. Of Inte the Commissioners have been bothered continually by the presentation of notes against clerks under them representing loans made from “10 percenters.” In one case an investigation was ordered and it disclosed the fact that the borrower had not only paid back the original amount. but had also paid at the rate of 6 per cent interest for the entire amonnt for two years. He was called before the Commission- ers and there made a clean breast of the matter, stating that he was pushed for funds and had to resort to the money lenders. At first he borrowed €20—that is, he was given $18 and signed a note for $20: at the end of thirty days when the note became dae he did not have the amount necesrary to liquidate the debt, and he signed a note for $22.20; the third ‘month found him in the same financial condition and he was forced to sign another note for $24.40. This continued for very nearly a year, until at last the interest had exceeded ‘the principal. Then the broker demanded his money: the clerk plead poverty and the money lender notified him that unless it was paid within three days he would allow the note to go to protest and then bring the matter before the Commissioners. In his desperation the clerk defied him and the money lender carried out his threat. This investigation convinced the Com joners of the injustice of the claim and they refused to countenance it. Another case was brought to their attention in which the clerk had got- ten into the meshes of the 10 percenter's net and after the interest had accumula‘ed as in the above case to an amount more than equal that of the principal he went to the money lender and told him candidiv that he realized the awful mistake he had made: that it was impossible fo: him to settle in full, ax called for by the notes; that he had already paid him tearly one-half the prin- cipal, and that he waa willing, aa a compromise, to pav 6 per cent on the remainder and settle in three months. But the modern Shylock would have nothing to do with suc a scheme. The proposition, he eaid, was unjust to him, He had not ran to clerk and begged him to borrow his mon@#f and he went into the matter with hix eyes wide open. The clerk re- fused to pay the money, and the Commissioners were again avpealed to and another investi- gation followed, ‘The result was the same, and since that time several other cases have been brought before them, but they passed a ruling not to constitute themselves justices of the peace and collect private debts, and so all of these cases failed. These money lenders do not content themselves with squeezing clerks who get a fair salarr, but lend money even to poor messengers and District laborers, whose pay does not average over €1a da} Every pay day they can be seen around the de- partments in confidential talke with employes.

The trating developed a feverish r, however, and considera- ble irregularity exixted right from the opening, which was at irregular changes extending about 36 per cent each way. he feature of the dealings was the continued rexsure Uy on distil ers, the conflicting tumors in regard to which stil! kept it unsettled, and though in the early dealings it was sold down to 4934 uguinst 50%{ last evening the buying, though in scattering lots, was sufficient to rally it to 5054. The other industrials also showed a disposi. tion to improve, but no marked changes were made among them. The reported securing of the control of the New York and Northern by the Manbuttan was responded to by @ fall of 2 per cent by the latter to 166, and while New York and Northern preferred opened 354 per cent at 37 it was quickly retired to 353. The general railroad list, after a spell of weakness, rallied partially, but the Suquebanna and Western stocks were specially weak, the common retiring 2 per cent to 19% and the preferred 2 per cent to 70, No real strength was shown in the list and at LL o'clock the market was still feverixh and unsettled, generally at a shade under the open- ing figures. Denlings in stocks were quiet after 11 o'clock, but a firmer temper was prevalent over the whole lixt. Changes in quotations, however, were confined to «mall fractions, as a rule, and the. only marked movement’ was in New England, which advanced from 47 to 49on fairly urgent demand, but reacted a fraction. Reading was also specially active, but mado no material change. The weak stocks of the first hour all recovered partially, but failed to develop any movement of im- ortance.

Br tton, the president of the Amer- ican Security and Trust Company, at a meeting of that compa: announced his retire- ment from the presidenéy of the company. Alis reasons for thisaction were stated briefly and were to the effect that « point had been reached in the affairs of the company when a change in the head could be made without injary to an¥ of the important interests managed by the company, that it bad been his intention from the start to resume the practice of his profes- sion at the earliest practicable moment and that his private business, as well as health, was | suffering from the demands made upon his | time and strength. While among bis personal friends this decision of Mr. Britton had been known for some time, vet this formal announcement was received by his associates on the directory with expressions of genuine regret. Mr. Britton had been mainly instra-é mental in organizing the company, and in the three years of its existence it was felt that a large part of the credit for the great develop- ment of the company in all its branches was due to the fine executive ability and untir- ing energy of the president. Naturally there was @ reluctance expressed at losing his services, and Mr. Britton was told that. with a good deal more that showed in some degree jthe high place. which he held in the | confidence and affection of his associates. | However, Mr. Britton'’s mind was made up, | and recognizing that their interests must give | way the resignation was accepted. Mr. Britton announced his willingness to be of any service in his power. He will of course retain his in- terest in the company and he accepted the _ chairmanship of the executive committee.

OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED. | | The following statement of the changes was given outat the office of the company at the | end of the directors’ meeting this afternoon: | | “Mr. A. T.
