New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
in this time when people are makinS new
fortunes was that which was paid over to
C. H. Genslinger to-day, and as the result
which he had the executive ability to carry
out. Mr.. Genslinger was we'll known in
of sporting events, as they are called.
But he was little known in New York
when he came here some months ago and
arranged for a certain class Of athletic en-
tertainments, Going, by the Manhattan

as one of the rigid rules was that every

more than sufficient to meet the weekly

to the stockholders and therefore. of course,
there came the inevitable contest for con-

out, receiving to-day nearly 800. 0Oo, almost
all of IL velvet" as the saying is. He
had almost nothing when he came to New
York, and in course of a few months has
coined an idea into a fortune. There is no
club In New York which Is so crowded OF
an evening as this. Its great billiard hall
yields a large revenue. it's swimming pool
and baths are so thronged that they are
frequently kept open till 3 in the morning.
It's lodging rooms are spoken for two or
three days in advance, 1t has vaudeville

so surely az one approached to. change her
position she shrieked and exploded French
profanity to such an alarming extent that
he was obliged to beat q swift retreat.
The attendance at the class rapidly Tell
off, and at last quite ceased until a less
flnicky model could be obtained. The re-
1ati0ns between women artists and models
form a curious phase Of human nature,
or rather woman nature, for woman nature
Is not always human nature. A woman
artist in her studio will treat q model kind
ly and generously, make quite a pet Of her,
give her little presents, and even bestow her
cast-off fripperies upon her. treating her.
in fine. as she would a favorite servant.
But a models life in a class of women
artists Is not a happy one. The artists
scold and snub her, speak more contemptu-
ously to her than they would to a dog,
and expect and demand from her a super
human amount OF endurance. Woman. In
di~vtdually, is well disposed towards one of
her own sex beneath her in social or moral
status, but, collectively, fears what others
may say or think.
There is a class Of artists, So-called, who
have much to answer for In respect to the
odium cast on models-clubmen dilettantes,
dabsters in art, men who associate with
artists, and perhaps paint cleyerly. They
have time and money. They fit up superb
studios, where they paint a trlfie and raise
Ned. Their models can eat terrapin and
drink champagne, and some of their en-
tertainments would, l fear, makem my friend
DR.. Parkhurst shudder.

PIANO THIEF CAUGHT.
HIS Plan Was to Rent a Piano, and in
u Few DAYS shin 1t AWAY.

For several days the detectives nave been
Swallowing Charles w. Williams, with the
result that he was arrested yesterday
morning by detectives Splann. Kinney and
Richards on n charge of grand larceny.
Some time ago Williams rented a piano
from Carlin & Lennox, piano dealers, on
East Market street, giving the name of
William Il. Allen. He took the piano to
NO. lib Indiana avenue, where he had rent
ed a room. stating that his family would
arrive In n few days. A few days later,
MIR. Lennox became suspicious and notified
the police department.. Superintendent
Powell had read a warning from Detroit,
where q man rented two pianos Dec. 8, 1894,
and. shipping them to Chicago, disappeared.
superintendent Powell wired the Detroit
authorities for Il description of the man
wanted there, in the meantime having de-
tailed the detectives to watch Williams.
Friday evening, as suspected, Williams
went to the room where he had placed the
piano with IL box. and express wagon, but
the box was too small, and the work of
shipping the piano was postponed. Yester-
day, however, the piano was boxed and
taken to the Big Four freight depot and
billed to Cleveland. Williams was arrested
as he left the depot. On his way to the
police station he offered detective Kinney
bride to $500, but he was told that he mis-
took the style of the detective dpartment.
Superintendent Powell has written TO the
chief of police at Detroit, stating ths case
to him, and assuring him that the man will
be convicted here.

How ono woman Got Even.

The shortness of the supply of gas during
the past few days has caused a great many
jokes at the expense of the gas companies.
A few days ago an Old Irish woman en-
tered the Office of one of the companies and
asked for her bill. The clerk very politely
informed her of the amount. She asked for
q pencil, and, after laboriously figuring
out a sum which seemed as Greek to the
Clerk. she asked for her receipt, at the
same time rendering a handful Of small
change. The clerk took the money and at
