two registers in a month. The ST.
Denis and the Albemarie have pre-
served all the old registers. The St.
Nicholas, now one of the Oldest hotels
in town. has a big pile ofregisters, con-
tanning q generation of distinguished
names. At the Everett house the old
registers are kept, and frequently re-
ferred to by old customers.
But there is one hotel where the old
registers are not regarded with much
reverence. That is the Fifth Avenue
hotel, now under the same proprietor
ship that it was when started more
than twenty-one years ago, that of
Hotchkiss Il Darling. For many years
the old registers were kept, and often
referred to. Time and again they have
been lugged into court and clerks with
them under subpmnas, Duees Tecom.
Finally the proprietors got tired of
furnishing so much testimony to courts
without adequate compensation. 1t
was found that by keeping the regis
tiers often couple who stayed but one
night and paid SO into the hotel treas
pry might entail $50 worth of bother
by legal proceedings in proving the
register. Therefore, about six months
ago. orders were given to burn the
registers as fast as they are filled. As
the urbane light-haired clerk expressed
it, "We don't let 'em get cold, but get
'em out of the way at the earliest pos
Sible moment. People can now look
elsewhere for testimony. We can't
afford to keep one clerk hunting for
books and another on the witness stand
all the time"

The Tallest of Monuments

SIGNAL OFFICERS LOOKING OUT FOR A
PERCH on THE GREAT SHAFT IN WASH
INGToN
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The !white,
tall, plain shaft of the Washington
monument is foot by foot daily rising
skyward, aud its completion, in due
course of time, is now assured 1t is
already landmark visible from any
part Of Washington, and the inhabi-
tants, after a generation of ridicule,
are beginning to be proud of it. Apart
from its unique character as an archi-
tectural wonder, modern science pro-
poses to utilize it for the public benefit.
The signal Office expects to have per
manent station at its summit, and its
officers say that observations of the air
and atmospheric movement taken at
an altitude OF $50 feet will be of great
value. Observations are taken of course
at far greater attitudes than this, but
the gradual slope of even the most pre-
cipitous mountains and the presence
of large masses of rock near the obser-
yatory create surface currents. even on
mountain heights, and interfere with
the study of the phenomena of the
higher levels ofthe atmosphere. 1t has
often been proposed to institute a ser
les of experiments by means of cap
tive balloons, but the expense Of such
ried out. At the time of the Centen-
NAL it was proposed to erect a skeleton
tower to the height of 1000 feet in
Fairmount Palk. Had this been done
the signal officers would have utilized
the observatory for the benefit of mete-
orlogical science, but the tower stopped
at 800 ieet. The signal officers say It
would not be impracticable to build
tower l 900 feet high, or even higher,
and that the erection of such a tower
would be of great service.
The monument is now 290 feet high.
The original design contemplated a
height of 800 feet, but at meeting of
the commissioners two year. ago,
when it was decided to resume work,
it was voted to make the monument
the loftiest artificial structure in the
world. the commissioners examined
the heights of all the noted monuments,
towers, pagodas, spires, buildings, and
flag poles, and found that to safely dis
tance all rivalry a height of $50 feet
would be necessary. 1t was therefore |
determined to complete the shaft on
this plan, and the drawings were modi- |
fed to that end. What was the sur
prise and qualification of the commits
sioners to lind subsequently that the |
new proportions of the shaft as now
adopted were exactly those of an

Stabbing His Coat Collar.

Some years ago story came from
Paris that = criminal condemned to
death had been executed in novel
way, and without blood letting. The
culprit was blindfolded and laid upon
marble slab after being informed that
he was to be bled to death. A needle
was used with which to prick his arm,
and rs the point touched him drooes of
warm water were sprinkled so that they
ran down his side, and to the condemn
ed ii appeared that he was bleeding to
death. In little while the experiment
proved success ul, and the man expir-
ed, such was the force of Imagination.
4 case somewhat resembling this
was brought before the notice of Police
Officer Jones the other day. AS he
passed the Nandalia building, he saw a
man lying on his back in the entrance.
The strangers hands were crossed upon
his br east, and his legs were close to-
gethcr. AS Jones afterward said. "He
looked every inch a corpse" The face
was bloodleSs. The eyes were closed as
though..in death. The handle of
jacknife.protruded from point between
the collar and the jugular vein. The
blade WAS hidden Jones jumped to
the conclusion of suicide. He took
hold of the knife and drew it out of its
resting place. The blade was unsulelid.
Being aroused, the man said he had
attempted suicide. Instead of wound
ing himself, he merely stabbed the col
lar of his coat. Then he felt that he
was dying Visions of father. mother,
and home passed through his mind, he
said, only for moment, and then he
became unconscious He was perhaps
just entering the spirit land when Jones
called him back
