The North Capitol Savings Bank, Washington's newest banking institu tion, opened its doors for business at 7:30 o'clock last night. The handsome new institution, which is located in its own building at 731 North Capitol street, was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums, ferns and autumn leaves, and hundreds of friends of the bank's officials inspected the thorough ly modern equipment with which the in stitution has been fitted. The bank has the latest style of stcel-i lined vault, fitted with three time locks, ! and containing safety deposit boxes and I three additional steel chests for holding ! ! securities. The equipment is practically ! the same as is found in the most j modern banking establishments. The officers and directors of the new ' bank include many prominent business and professional men of Washington. | The officers are: President, Or. P. D.

Numbering Car Routes. | From th<' Sprinsrelil Hepiibli'-an. It is curious that New York, which has some of the most progressive street cat lines in the country, should have had to wait for Col. Edward S. Cornell, secre tary of the National Highways Protec tive Association, to. discover from the practice of European cities the advan tage of numbering street car routes. Let tering is useless for an auxiliary, but for most purposes the number is all that is needed, and it is incomparably the most convenient and helpful way of dislin guishing street cars. Some cities, Rome, for example, have experimented with arbitrary symbols like shields of differ ent colors, perhaps for the benefit;tof the ? illiterate. But numerals ate symbols, ' top, and can bo learned even' hv j arsons ! who cannot read. A slng'.e number show ing the route i.s all that is needed and the only question to ask is what number to watch for. The Htizen will know his homeward route number and can see it afar off, for the figures are large;; even l at, night they are plainly legible. The i stranger has but to ask the nearest po , licemuji if he has not alreadv looked it i ud in a leaflet guidebook. T*te"practice of trying to crowd all the iuformatloii | needed as to the route traversed1 upon the limited surface of an urban car is out- of date in these days of cheap print ing. The essential thing is to keep each car to a definite route and give that route a number. In Europe the practice has become general in large cities. America in-this respect is behind the times, i t J ?7 * ? ' Better Than the Theater. From the Cornell Widow. "How is it that Rufus never takes you to the theater any more?"

Livingstone, president of the Boy Scouts of America, yesterday aft ernoon, while "taps" sounded at the hour of the funeral of Vice President Sherman. The scouts were gathered for the monthly drill, which takes place on the first Saturday of every month. At 2 o'clock, which was the time for the funeral to take place, the lads were as sembled before the court of honor for the sounding of taps by Chief Trumpeter George Bittrlch of the 15th United States Cavalry. - Regular Program Follows. Following the exercises in memory of the Vice President, the regular program for the day was proceeded with. Bach troop was reviewed by the court of honor, and those who were to be ex amined were instructed to report to the examiners.

Dr. Pierce says: "This tonic contains no alcohol to shrink up the red blood corpuscles; but, on the other hand, it increases their number and they become round and healthy. The experience of many is that it helps the human system in the constant manufacture of rich, red blood. It helps the stomach to assimilate or take up the proper elements from the food, thereby assisting digestion and curing dyspepsia, heart-burn and many uncomfortable symptoms, stops excessive tissue-waste in con valescence from fevers; for the run-down, anaemic, thin-blooded people, 'Discovery' is refreshing and vitalizing.
