hear no end OF grumblnG and complaint
from certain residents Of Washington Heights
over the citys tardIncss TO provide rapid tran

tiful portion of tho island. Tho Washington
Heights Taxpayers Association has been
very active OF late in the matter OF securing
street improvements, but tho belief Is In

Dr. Chauncey NJ. Depew always comes back
from his European trips primed with a fresh
stock OF humorous yarns OF peculiar United
states favur. Americans who travel abroad
wonder where he manages to pick them up.
They seem to forget that when DR.. Depew IL
relieved from the care Of his big railroad in
terests, andsfar away from the busy hum OF
politics, he has an excellent opportunity to
give his lively Imagination full swing. DR..
Depew's friends say that II he didn't happen
to be a railroad president he would probably
be one OF the greatest inventors OF the age.
Edward W. Berge, that talented young COM
poser, Is making quite . reputation among

Inspector Byrnes, who has been UNUSUAL,
busy this summer with important case
which have compelled him to remain In tow
up TO the present time, has Just stolen ava

An or1icer OF one OF tho big ocean liners tell
me that foreign immigrants are frequentl
very much puzzled over the colossal Statue {
Liberty which looms up suddenly before heI
us they approach the end OF their voyage I
the New World. As might be supposed yer

conjectures are hazarded IA regard . It's SIS

trian village, who landed here few days az
were very much impressed when they FIR.
caught glimpse OF the statue. with 4

. devout Catholics, they forthwith dropped {
] their knees on the steamers deck ana begH

prayers the old man remarked 60 his COZ
pan!ons that this must, indeed, be a religion
and God-fearlng land where the people erect
such splendid monuments 20 their saints.
