OF the city to condemns a right OF way
for Eleventh street through the Houns-

up before Juuge Grubb, In 1884," said
member Of the bar to an Evening

at the time the city made application
for the first commission OF condemna-
ton. Charles G. Rumford and Philip
Q. Churchman represented the prop
erty owners and City Solicitor George
A. Elliott the city. Messrs. Rumford
and Churchman held that the statute
authorizing the appointment OF COM
mission was unconstitutional so far as
the Gilpin property was concerned, as
there was a contract with the Gilpln
heirs which it would violate. City So
licitor Elliott contended that the al
legged contract was not binding, and
Judge Grubb sustained the contention
and appointed the commission. After
wards three commissions went out on
the property and it was condemned.

Il IL whispered that the pompous and
solemn butler Is on the high road TO
oblivion His doom has been pro-
nounced BY certain persons of fash
ionable pretensions and lean purses
who ind his services a drain on both
their pride and their pocketbooks. says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
One clever, independent feminine per-
son whose diminutive establishment,
high up ina very expensive apartment
house, Is q rendezvous for many Of the
rich and great, declares that one has
to live up to ones butler, and as he is
usually not only a judge but q pitiless
critic Of wines and viands and the
social standing Of ones guests. he is
too expensive a luxury for persons
whose income Is no larger and whose
prospects are no more certain than
were those Of Becky Sharp. And" she
added, with something between a sigh
and a laugh, I'VE are q numerous class
m society" When Jeames is deposed
neat-handed Phyllis will preside over
table and door. In order to retain
some Of the dignity and splendor which
the presence Of Jeames lends to festive
occasions, the economizing hostesses
are going to try the experiment OF put
ting their maids into livery based on
the heraldic colors Of the family or
to match the decorations OF the house.
For special occasions special colors and
cap ribbons will lend atmosphere"
For instance, when madame entertains
her club members at luncheon, the
maids could wear plain black frocks
with the club colors on the pockets OF
their muslin aprons and on their white
caps; when the dinner decorations are
pink flowers, pink calico gowns and
pink cap ribbons without a touch OF
any other color In their costumes
would be quite as pretty and blend
in with the surroundings as harmo-
niously as even the black coat and
immaculate shirt-front of the pompous
Jeames. The theme is an inspiring
one for the energetic woman who rev.
els In innovations. Perhaps, we may
live TO see hunt breaktasts-those Long
Island dissipations-served by tailor
made maids with black coats, high
collars and ties. or have our wraps
taken at the Easter wedding reception
by attendants in white gowns with
wreaths Of orange blossoms in lieu Of
caps.

Birthstone, as q commercial eommo-

branches OF manufacture, but the tact
Is not generally known In business cir
cies that lis. 137 tons came to the Unit
ed States from Sicily In 1897 and that
the year before the importation was
even larger, says the New York Trio-
une. This commodity comes exclusive
" from Sicily, and to q great extent

handled by the large importers In its
crude form only and these dispose OF IL
to the manufacturers. by whom II Is
subjected to processes which eliminate
the dross and bring to the surface its
valuable properties. II is used by the
manufacturers Of fertilizer mrterials
and sulphuric acid, and large quantities
are consumed by the manufacturers OF
wood pulp and paper. The birthstone
goes In great quantities, also, to the
sulphur refners, and after It becomes
sulphur It plays an important part in
the manufacture o. vulcanized rubber.
The addition Of sulphur to plastic rub
Der, vulcanizing the mass between two
tin sheets as an experiment. gave the
world the valuable commodity known
as hard rubber. and no substitute has
yet been found for the yellow dust In
the process. The birthstone statistics
show that United States receives more
Of the material than any other country.
For Sthe same time that 1881 tons
reached the ports of New York, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Charleston. Boston,
Wilmington and Norfolk. the following
exports were made from Sicily to other
parts OF the world; France, 81, S95 tons;
Italy, 73,052 tons; United Kingdom,
24,520 tons; Russia, 1882 tons; Portu-
gal, 1854 tons; Germany, 1921 tons;
Austria, 1898 tons; Greece-Turkey,
1856 tons; Belgium, 9,253 tons; Swe-
den, Norway and Denmark, H.
226 tons; Spain, 4.059 tons;
Holland, $3.50 tons. The wine
growing districts OF Europe use
large quantities OF the material to de-
stroy the insects which attack the
vines. and although many substitutes
are employed, the most careful grow
ers never abandon birthstone for that
purpose. Tie supply in Sicily ready for
transportation is larger than It has ever
been before, there being no less than
240, 1867 tons in storage.
