Torn Out or broadway After Fifteen Years
of Effort by city Employees.

There is a story behind n small iron post
which was recently removed from in front Of
the cigar store at l.21l broadway by the Bureau
of Encumbrances Fifteen years ago the theat-
rical advertising agents in this city were hav-
ing n hard time OF 1t securing desirable spots In
which to place their paper. The regular bill
boards were good enough for the big three sheet
ers, but it was difficult to place many of the
single posters. owing to the vigilance of the
Public Works Department officials, who would
rip up sign boards and other mediums of ad-
vertlsing as fast as they were put down.
1t was Charles Welsh. now advertising agent
at Hoyt's Theatre. who finally solved the prob
lem. He bought n ~six-foot iron post. and one
dark night carried it up Broadway to 1,2ll.
Two laborers who were along with him then
pulled up one Of the hagstones near the curb.
and with pick and shovel dug "A four-foot hole
in the ground. The post was placed in the hole.
n bit Of the tlaRstOne was knocked out to make
1t fit, and then the earth was packed tightly
around IT. and the stone was lowered in place.
Two signhOards were next ticl to the post and
single posters pasted on. them. so that people
going up and down Broadway could see the ad-
The next day the Public Works people sent
word 10 the station house. to have the post re-
moved. The policeman who went around to at
tend TO 1t tugged at the two feet Of iron project
ing above the sidewalk for about fifteen min
with ripping Off the signs. The next week two
laborers were sent up to remove, the post. and
they hanged AZ II with sledge hammers and
tugged for all they were worth. with no results.
They couldn't bulge the post. Welsh looked on
with a smile all the time, and bilIposters re-
placed the signs ms fast IA they were torn down.
On an average OF two or three times each year
for fifteen years an order has been issued for
the removal OF the post. but none Of the laborers
sent up accomplished anything. The regulars
on Broad way have called it Welsh's post for
years. and il has been Welsh's habit to dofr his
hat TO il every time he passed up or down the
street. But an end came 10 the prosperity OF
the post at last. Tho reform Encumbrance Bu-
reau ordered 1t removed. and the third gang Of
lnbOrcrs sent up raised the tlagstone. and after
four hours OF work dug up the post and carted
It away. Welsh was henrtbrnken when he
heard that it was gone. and the post has been
sadly missed by the regulars, who had come to
regard 1t as n Landmark.

Mr.. Hardy, in an article In the Saturday Re-

that such ethics ought not to bc very hard to
fix, and he ventures, to propose three lentent
rules which he thinks may clear many great
men, now falsely accused, of plagiarism. First.
he would permit any great modern writer's TO

times and of the middle ages. Thus Virgil had

polonius. Nor eau Lucretius be blamed for his

Hardy thinks that an author has a perfect right
to buy or borrow with the permission Of the

This rule would Justify n clergyman preaching
