OLD HUTCH In GOTHAM.
News of His Sofa and Gems nom
His Conversation.
Whore and How tho Noted Ex-ChIcar,
Spectator Now Lives-Picasant to
Policemen When tho Marker
Goes to Suit Him.

benjamin p. Hutchinson, the million
aire Chicago wheat speculator, who Is
familiarly knownas "Old Hutch" is no
dude. says the New York Sun. Some
times he is profanc. His strong express
sions arc frequently epigramnatic and
are usually untoned. lie is wearing
this fall along black broadcloth cont Of
clerical cut with trousers to match. His
hat is of black felt and is broad
Dr'mmed. Mr.. Hutchinson also wears
boots, and he keeps them we'll polished.
Since he came to New York, several
months ago. there has been n good deal
OF mystery about his habitation. For
the hrst few days of his stay in New
YORK he slept at the Astor house and at
the stevens house on Broadway. Hotels
don't suit him, however, and ho packed
his valise and left. No one knew where
he was sleeping. Mr.. Hutchinson was
the first man on the street in the morn
ang and the last man to leave it at
night. On top of the excitement of a
bull market there came the rumor that
MIR. Hutchinson's habitation had been
discovered. lie has been camping at
night in the office of his brokers, An
thony Browne & Co., 5s New street, and
the ianitor of the building has been his
valet. Brokers who have asked Mr..
Hutchinson about his bedroom have
been answered with Il None of your
blanlety- blank-blanls business"
MIR. lutchinson's bedroom has been q
roomy one. Anthony Browne e Co.
have large Office on the ground floor
of the building ut 5S New street There
is very little furniture in it, two or
three desks, some chairs, and in one
corner lcathcr-covcrcd sofa that has
served Mr. Hutchinson for n couch. 1t
is an ordinary lcathcr-covcrcd sofa,
partly screened from the rest of the
Office by large roll-top desk. On q
Small table beside the desk is the big
valise in which Mr.. Hutchinson carries
some of his personal property. How
he keeps in such trim condition in these
quarters is mystery known only to
himself and the janitor, and the janitor
won't tell
Mr.. Hutchinson's face, with it's strong,
clearly cut features, has the glow Of
health. Although his clothes are cut in
a peculiar pattern, they are usually in
spicl1 and span condition, with the cx-
'ception of his trousers, which look as if
they had occasionally served as pa
jamas.
The only signs of bcdclothcs on his
lounge are two heavy blankets that
during the daytime are rolled up. Mr..
Hutchinson is six feet tall, and Anthony

Browne e. Co.'s lounge is somewhat
short of that length; therefore Mr.
Hutchinson does not like it. 1t was all
very well to use it for n few nights on
a pinch, but Mr.. Hutchinson says: "I
have come to New York to live forever.
Not for ever and ever but just forever"
Moreover it is said that the market
has been strongly in his favor, and he
feels like indulging in little more
luxury. Some brokers celebrate good
luck in champagne suppcrs. Mr.. Hutch
inson sticks to whisky, and orders his
comfortable old six-foot lounge from
Chicago to be shipped to his brokers'
Office here by freight. 1t has not ar
rived yet. but it's owner is enjoying 1T
in anticipation.
'1t's very fine sofa, young
man." said Mr.. Hutchinson, speak
ing of the Chicago lounge that
had been shipped to him, land paid
$50 for it when it was new. It's six
feet long and so am l. It's very fine
one, l can tell you. You can stand up
on it anywhere without doing it any
harm. 1t stood in my room in Chicago
before left that BANKED city. That
lounge is upholstered with carpet.
What am going to do with it here?
Well, that's none of your blankety
blank business" and then MIR. Hutch
inson got up and walked the floor ex-
'citedly for a few moments.
I'm getting to be an old man now.

hell, only quiet and rest hereafter.
You're nil a pack of fools, anyway.
Here's the bill Of that lounge +
No quainter character than Mr..
Hutchinson was ever framed by Dick
ems. Perhaps the policemen down at
the Battery know more about his life
since he has been in New York than do
his brokers. The battery sea wall is
favorite haunt of the grain Spectators,
and he has picked up some queer ac-
quaintances there. His bedroom in
his brokers' Office is n lonesome place,
and he dctests loaffng around hotels, SO
on many warm evening Mr.. Hutch
inson has gone down to the Battery
and sat down on bench to look over
the sea wall and down the harbor.
The policemen down there all know
his. long. lank figure with its
Tapping Prince Albert coat, and when
hc arrives the officer on the beat greets
him with q Good evening, Mr.. Hutch
inson." If Mr.. Hutchinson is in a
good humor, and the market is with
him. he returns the greeting and asks:
''How is business?"

Close of n Successful Engagement. E
The New York Theater Company
closed q very successful weeks engage
ment yesterday, whom two perform
ances were given. At the matinee MY
Partner" was produced and this proved
to be one of the best productions of the
week. Mcdonald, as Joe Saunders, was
at his best and played that well-known
character in a manner that has never
been excclled in Roanoke. He was at
all times the honest Westerner, who
would sacrifice himself for the sake of
his friend. His pathos was very natural
and SO strong was his acting he carried
his audience with him in every sense.
He was ably assisted by Miss Alice
Miles and the rest of the company. At
night 1.-The lightning Rod Agent" was
put on and it scored greater hit than
when produced earlier in the week.

MILK AND BUTTER.

When They Are Sources u Great Daages
TO Human Health.
As usually taken, milk and butter are
the most filthy articles Of food used BY
human beings Milk il obtained under
conditions almost sure to expose Il ia
contamination. Anyone who has had
experience in straining milk knows Of
the black sediment, and sometimes
quite q quantity of II. to be found in
the bottom Of milk pals and milk pans.
This sediment is mostly made up of the
excreta Of the animal, and con
tains some millions Of microbes ready
to multiply with great rapidity.
Cows are not curried and washed n
they should be, and the milkmcn are
not cleanly rs they should be. The
cream rises to the top full Of germs
which have been taken in with the
milk, and butter is the quintessence Of
all the germs in the milk. You all know
how short time it takes for butter to
become rancid when exposed TO the air
of . room that is 1t all warm. Butter
to be sweet and nice should be made
from milk not more than twelve hours
old. Twice day is none too often for
dairy churning. The French dairy
woman boils her milk - soon as Il
comes from the COW, and in this way
gets rid Of the multiplication Of germs
by killing OF the Adams and the Ewes.
She does not salt butter made from
cream of milk which has been boiled,
and it will keep several dayA-From .
