remembered, perhaps, that ex-Alderman
Cleary, when on the stand during the Doodle
trial, announced that his income as janitOr
of the Equitable Building was over $1,000
year.
The salary of the engineer in the Equita-
bic Building IS said to be something like
$4,000 year. There are ten elevators in
the building, and the cost of running these
is placed at $1,000 year. The water bill ia
the Equitable is understood to average over
$1,000 a year, while the consumption of coal,
which, of course. covers the lighting ex-
pense, Is over 1000 tons per year. Thus
figuring up these heavy expenses. together
with the ordinary help in the building, such
as scrub women and sweepers, overseers.
etc, and the total expense will be found TO
be not short of 500 600 year.
In the Aldrich buildings, on Broadway,
tile expenses are placed at about $4,000 Tor
each of the structures. The water bill for
these buildings last year was $3.50. while
the consumption Of coal was about 800 tons.

BRAIN SURGERY.
An Operation That Nay Restore a Pa
TENTS Sanity.
Philadelphia Special

TENTS Sanity.
Philadelphia Special
a difficult and delicate operation in brain
surgery was successfully performed before
the clinic Of the University Hospital by DR..
J. William White assisted by DR.. Edward
Martin, which may result in complete
revolution in that branch of medicine. The
operation was the removal of a cyst which
had formed on the brain OF a man named
Schenchman, and which was pressing upon
the bTaiu, causing insanity. II the removal
Of this cyst restores sanity, as il is hoped
and expected it Will, there viii be opened
q new avenue for the treatment Of in
sanity cases, and. at least it Will
be a memorable and remarkable case
in brain surgery. The cyst, which is
a sac filed with fluid, had formed
over a portion Of the skull Of Schenchman,
where a piece Of bone had been removed by
an accident in planing-mill tWenty-three
years ago.
Shortly after the accident he became
worse, later unruly, and still later became
insane, in which condition he has been for
several years. The cyst was cut Into and
its contents, wEich nearly half filled a tea
cup, were removed. The inside of the sac
was thoroughly cleansed and the whole
carefully closed again. There IS every
reason to believe that the operation will
prove as successful as hoped, and that tie
patient viii recover his sanity. At least it
will afford him temporary relief and a new
lease If life as the cyst was growing so
rapidly that the pressure upon the brain
was becoming so great as to endangeT ms
life. The operation was Witnessed by nearly
800 people, principally prominent members
of the medical fraternity. The patient
stood the operation well, and is still at the
hospital, where his progress IS being
watched with interest.

building with success financially, unless the
rental is well above 81 90 per year for every
foot occupied.
Efforts are, of course, made to get at this
desideratum by building as high into the
air as the law allows. With this end in
Wow is planned the story building which
is to 90 up ON lower Broadway. 1t is to ba
the largest business building ia the world,
and will also take first rank among the tall
structures Of both continents. From the
top of the twenty-story main structure
great tower will lift its copper dome to al
altitude of $50 feet above the street level
There Will be over 1000 offices on the
twenty-six floors. The tower is to be a
useful adjunct, for it will contain offices on
six floors. The total cost of the building
will be S4000000. 1t Is believed that the
income of the building will be $500, 600
while the expenses Of running it are esti-
mated at $4,000 annually, outside Of taxes
and insurance.

No sounds disturb those ever-calm retreats.
Save when the night-bird sullenly repeats
AS DER the silent vale she fits along
Her penSive, lonely, melancholy song.

Sweeps sadly on End sighs am Id the trees;
The dew is gliStning IN the woodbine bowers
And wreaths OF mist enfold the vernal flowers.
And 10! the parting beams or golden light

Soft peepinC through yon western cloud afar.

Why Odd Gems Figure In the Price.

How many people do you suppose really
know why the retail dry-goods stores knock
off penny OF two from the price of articles
worth the even dollar p said an advertise
mcnt writer for one Of he big retail houses
uptown, recently. "Ninety-nine people out
of a hundred think 1t is because it makes
the price look smaller when displayed on
the goods, and consequently attracts trade
But, bless you, you can't fool the average
woman shopper in New York by such a
transparent trick.
''The real object in dropping the penny
and making the price of an article worth So
81 80 is to keep the shopper az the counter
while waiting for the change Three times
out OF five she will SEE something she wants
before the change can be made, and will
buy it.
THE scheme pays 100 T cent on the in
vestment, as has been proved over and over
