Mrs, Vanderbilt's Fada.

The chief hobby of Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt is the collection of old and
curious watches. She possesses many
curious specimens, notably watch rep
resenting a pelican feeding three young.
Another delightful little specimen is in
the shape of a guitar, with enameled
blue and yellow stripes; another is
tulip-shaped, with enameled leaves;
still another is in the shape of an urn
of gold enamel, with gold filigree flow
ers. Very charming is another watch
in Mrs. Vanderbilt's collection-an
Egyptian harp in form; still another is
surnaounted by a crown made CT rose
diamonds.-New York Advertiser.

Cold Air ON Tap.

A company has been incorporated in
New York city for the purpose of sup
plying cold air for refrigerating pur-
poses to hotels, restaurants, meat-shops
and households through a pipe service
similar to that employed in the distri-
button of steam. The cold air is to be
manufactured by the anhydrus ammo
mia process at a central plant, is piped
into mains which are laid beneath the
streets and the house connections are
made by service pipes, which are car
ried into the refrigerator or cold storage
compartments.
The degree of refrigeration is under
perfect control and any number of
varying temperatures may be secured
in adjoining compartments. For iso-
lated customers in districts removed
from pipe service the refrigerating ma
terial is delivered in a steel cylinder
similar to those in which soda water
is delivered to drug stores.-New York

PADEREWSKI'S RATES.
Refuses $1,000 For Five Minutes
PIayimg-Asks 81, 500.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Feb 2O.-Pad-
erewski, the pianist. has just given the
millionaires on Mob Hill a lesson in
finance. He was invited to play at an
afternoon tea given in one of the best
known mansions in the city. A reply
from the business manager of the Hun
garian maestro set forth his terms at
$4,000, payable by cash or check at the
conclusion of his playing one piece.
As it had been pretty broadly intima-
ted in polite society that this particular
8 O'clock tea was to be graced by the per-
Torrance of the great musician, it was
necessary for the California habob to ex-
tricate himself from a dilemma.
Regarding thu managers letter largely
as a bluff he offered $1,000 for chance
to hear classical music properly played
Before the correspondence closed he had
expressed his willingness to cut down
the time from one tune to five minutes
and no more. Padere wski refused to
make any cut in the regular rates of
$4,000 and the guests were duly disap-
DOinted.

WARNING TO FAT WOMEN.
Their Great Danger When the Flat
Takes Fire.


Large, Iumpy ladies who dwell next to
the roof in f1ve-story buildings are be-
set with dangers of which the narrow
guage female knows nothing, says the
New York Journal. One of these perlls
is fire and the other is policemen. On
a recent stormy midnight an ohlcer pa
trolling his beat saw smoke curing
over the shingles of a tall house. Know
ing that large lady lived on the nftn
floor he fastened to notify her without
stopping to turn in an alarm. AT the
fourth landing the brave man discov-
cred that further progress was barred
by the burning stairway, but he man
aged to reach the boudoir of the large
lady by means of the fire escape. She
weighed 240 pounds dressed, but they
did not wait for that ceremony. Time
was too precious. Selling the lady, VINO
was rendered helpless from fear, the
gallant officer showed her through the
window and out upon the little iron
platform. Then occurred a thrilling
aerial act without the aid of net OF
calcium light effects. 1t was the fault
of no one that the lady happened to De

the next landing was a feat beyond the
power of one man. Even policeman,
clothed in full authority, baked in the
face Of this proposition. There was only
one thing to be done, and the officer d1d
it. First he pushed what he could or
the lady through the hole, like man
stuH1ng bedQuilt into a hand val1se,
after which he swung himself below
and pulled the rest of her through. 1t
was herculean job, but the red flames
roaring above gave the rescuer renewed
strength. Down the perpendicular lad
der he backed, with the limp form rest
ing on his head and shoulders. The
thin iron rungs cut into his hands and
the smoke almost stifed him, but the
noble man struggled on. At the next
landing the large lady was again
squeezed through the hole by the heroic
policeman, and so on until the ground
was reached. Meanwhile an alarm had
been sounded and the usual helping
throng was on hand. Some good Sa-
marian gave the exhausted large lady
big drink of brandy to brace her up,
while the noble policeman went on
about his business. There are others,
however, who wear the shield and he'll

TACOMA, Wn.. Feb. 20.-Mr. Cody has
offered a reward of $780, limited to
Pierce county, for the restoration to him

states that while the family and friends

possible to disprove that it was Mrs.
Cody who bought the revolver in Nc
Naughton's gun store on the afternoon
of her disappearance. The city will be

bers of people will join in the search.
