seems to be fact that propositions are
under consideration. and wild specula-

Know. however, are very retlcent, and
neither confirm nor deny, though some

most valuable piece of ground on the
planet, but real estate transaction
in New York probably represents the
highest price ever actually paid. The
c. P. Huntington and Waldorf-Astor
properties on Fifth avenue adjoin each
other. To piece out" his own lot Mr.
Huntington bought of his neighbor a
strip ten by one hundred and TWENTY
five feet, paying therefor $4,000 or
four hundred and three dollars ner

thirteen million five hundred thousand

An officer of the United States life
saving service declares that its eff
cheney is chiefly due to the fact that
fitness and merit have always governed
the selection of its agents. On the
other hand. it is clear that place seek
ers shrink from entering a department
where achievement and heroism are
the rule. Even the thought of pay day
is not alluring enough to bring assent
to the endurance of hardship and peril.
Thus the merit system has an easier
opportunity to exercise its beneficial
influence among the life-savers than
In some safer spheres of the public
service. 1t is none the less cred!table
to the government that spoilsmen are
not allowed to use the life saving bu-
reau for political purposes.
