One finds on Wall street, narrow and short as it is. many interesting things. Ct is scarcely one-half mile in length.) On the site of the sub-treasury building stood old Federal hall, in which Wash ington took his oath of office April 6, 17so. A colossal bronze statue of Wash ington stands upon massive stone pedestal abutting against the columns of the stately portieo. But there is silence as to the fact that the oath should have been administered thirty three days before and that the delay was due to the lukewarmness of some of the members of congress who were in no haste to aid in the framing of laws for government the continuance of which they doubted.

back of which are three others, and back of all these on Ann street the Morton building has another building.
 The 29-story Syndicate building, on Park Row, nearly opposite the post of flee had a somewhat similar and one finds very wide frontage on Park Row, intervening building betvo oen it and Ann, and d very narrow frontage on Ann street, thus forming very irreg- ularly shaped L.
 Old Trinity and St. Paul graveyards, the latter just opposite the 25-story St. Paul building, the former facing Wall street, invite attention, as well for the ineongruousness of their location as for the interest attaching to the dead who sleep in them Right there in the busi- ness heart of the city, with red or white grayestones fast eroding, these grave wards stand. And these moldering stones seem to mock the busy living who pass by. and saying to them that they may hurry and skurry, and pile up their wealth, but presently the last one of them must come to such place and there abide as the sleeping ones ot these sacred places.
 Pearl street is one of the real eurios- ities of New York. It begins on Broad way, and after a somewhat tortuous and long course comes out on Broad way. Older New York has no system about it's streets. The early settlers evidently built where they pleased and then took short cuts to their neighbors' houses. These short cuts became streets and have so remained. Some are but block in length; others dodge about and come out at point near where they began. It is along these old-time streets that one sees pictur- esque New York Here are ancient structures which the nineteenth cen tury has left untouched. Some of them present the most gretesque of angles and the most narrow of frontages, a re- suit of the irregularity of the streets All of them are unique and full of abid- ing interest.
 One has not seen New York who has failed to visit the older parts of the city with its last century houses, its narrow streets and narrower sidewalks.

the Bowery, but rarely does he inxesti- gate further than this.
 How many, for instance. have heard of Fraunce's Tavern on Broad street, but a little way from Wall, where Wash ington gave farewell reception and ball 10 the brave French officers who so gallantly had aided him in the struggle for liberty? 1tis the original house, the olden walls and roof beneath which scarlet-coated British officers danced with the tory danes and damsels of the then little city of but 1000 or 5000 souls. Here the unfortunate Maj. Andre often dined, and here wine flowed freely in those days of more than a hundred years ago.
 Time, though, has made it's changes. The walls were raised so as to build story beneath, changing it from three to four stories, and the structure

Adrian Block, forced ashore erected. with the aid of his followers four log huts, at a point scarcely one fourth of mile from the Batter J, on the west side of Broadway. Here they remained until they could construct vessel to take them away. 4 bronze tablet set in the wall of one of the older structures marks the precise spot.
 One sees in New York many stately palaces and tnnuu1erable stately build inRs. In no city of earth has there been so much money expended as here upon architecture. But there are so many or these imposing and beautiful ulstructures that one wearies of them.
 It is the unusual and the quaint that one would seek, rather. If one would take the trouble to ride out on Lexing' ton avenue to Eighty-second street he he would be repaid amply in the spec tacle of Spite house" tiny pile that tells how far desire for revenge may carry man. Richardson, muiti-mll- Houaire. owned narrow strip of land scarcely ten feet in width, for which he demanded so exorbitant q price that the owner of the adjoining property refused 10 buy it, although it stood on the cor ner. This neighbor erected handsome residence, which so enraged Richard son that he built marvel of archttect- ure which set all New York astare. He buiided this narrow three-story struct- ure. compelling the architect to tax human ingenuity in devising stairways. This. as was intended closed up all the windows of the offending neighbor
 Into this coffined box so narrow Rich ardson removed with his wife and lived there until his death a short time ago. When he died litigation began at once over the will. The widow, a second wife, was left a reasonable share of the es- tate, previously estimated at $20,00o,- GOO. But when it come to be looked for not one million could be found. The assets consisted chiefly of stocks and bonds, and the widow accused her step son and stepdaughter of making way with them The stepson has died since, but the two women are warning over the matter and are likely to so continue for years to come.

on the hill: "Siboney says the Spanish fleet is coming out. They're fighting with our fleet now"
 With one accord we rushed for the cable tent, and with our hearts beat Ing like trip-hammers we watched Jones, as with his wigwag flag he told the Massachusetts and the Marblehead that the American fleet, with its guns sending Uncle Sam's steel-clad compli- ments at the speed of about 2,000 feet q second, was closing in on Cervera. There was eommotion on the Massa- chusetts. Down the iron ladders and into the launch scrambled the white uniformed officers, and in five minutes the men had piled out onto the pier near the cable tent and were gathered around Lieut.. Jones and his ticking tel egraph instrument. To those officers, lean and hollow-eyed from their long vigil on the blockade line, it seemed as if God of Hosts had deserted them. Through all their bitter work, their one hope had been to be on hand when the struggle came, and now-and they looked at each other silently and lis tened as the man at siboney slowly told of the destruction of the Spanish squadron.

 Out into the bay swung the big bat tleship Massachusetts, that after 37 days of eeaseless patrolling in front of the grim weatherbeaten battlements of Morro had in the gloom of the early morning come to Guantanamo for coal and water, the last of Admiral Samp- son's fleet to replenish supplies. Near by was gallant Capt. McCalla's cruiser, the Marblehead, while farther up the bay the Newark, with the nose pointed toward the entrance of the upper nar- rows, guarded against any possible at temptat escape by the two little Spanish gunboats lying underneath the guns of the fort atCaimanera. Betweenth Mar biehead and the Newark were two tor pedo boats and two of Gen. Shafter's transports, the latter eoaling before re turning to Port Tampa. Over the decks of Uncle Sam's fighting machines the hairy-chested Jaelies had stretched awnings for protection from the sun, and under these they were busily en- gagged in washing away the least particle of dirt that might be clinging to the apparently spotless decks of their charges. Down on the beach, where the little collection of hospital, guards and commissary tents was located, group of marine officers and one or two newspaper correspondents lounged in the shade of an enormous eucalyptus tree, discussing the fighting that had been taking place before Santiago or speculating (and this was dearer to the marines hearts) on the length Of time it would take for the land forces under Shafter to storm Morro and gain possession of the switchboard con trolling the mines and torpedoes that kept the American fleet outside. No one believed that Sampson would court destruction by attempting to force an entrance, and the hope of Ceryera com ing out and giving battle was at best a faint one,

Then one or two of the young officers made short speeches, in which you could occasionally detect slight ring of homesiehness. And at the last we stood up and faced Old Glory flying from the flagstaff on the hill, and silently drank to the flag. And looking at it, we thought of things at home, andsweethearts and wives and children, those of us who were for tunate enough to have them, and were silent for awhile.
 Well, said the major, sharply, to ragged Cuban who stood at attention before him.

 Darkness follows sunset very swiftly in the tropics. But long before the sun had touched the edge of the mountains in the west, the Cubans had heaped to- gether q great pile of driftwood and old boxes and barrels in the open space be- fore their shacks, and waited impa- tiently for night.
