SHOWERS OF MONEY.
Veritable "Monte Cristo" and His
Generosity to Bell Boys.
Boston Banker scatters silver Coins
Among Employees at Waldorf-As-
toria, and Enjoys the Scram-
BILE Which Follows.

With tear-dimmed eyes the bell
boys in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel
watched the departure of r. S. Blod-
gett, banker of Boston, the other
day. Because of his lavish distribu-
tion of money among them they re-
garded him as a veritable Monte
Cristo." Hardly night passed dur
ing the last two weeks that he did
not scatter from five to twenty dol
lars in the main corridor for the boys
to scramble for. Usually Mr.. Blodgett
waited until IL o'clock at night, when
the hotel corridors were filled with
fashionably dressed men and women.
He would then change a bill of large
denomination into dimes and quar-
ters and wait his opportunity. The
boys were always on the alert, but
Mr.. Blodgett wanted what stage man
ayers call "a situation"
When a crowd gathered in front of
the Office Mr.. Blodgett, standing at
the Thirty-fourth street entrance,
would hurl few dollars in dimes
along the floor toward the reading
room. The effect upon the 20 bell boys
lined up on the leather covered bench
was electrical. With mad rush they
scrambled for the elusive coins as
they rolled about on the tiled floor.
For few minutes the dignity of the
place was upset and men and women,
not realizing the cause of the commo-
ton, fled in CONSERVATION to the palm
garden and surrounding rooms.
Sometimes while the boys were bat
Ting for the dimes and quarters Mr..
Blodgett would shower another hand
full upon them, which served to spur
them to renewed efforts. To vary the
programme Mr.. Blodgett occasionally
closed the door leading to the reading
room and dashed the coins against it.
Mr. Blodgett is very fond of boys, and
he scattered the money with such i'm
partiality that all had an equal chance
to get fair share of it. He distrib-
uted in this way about 5000.

A SOCIAL MUSEUM.
Most interesting Exhibits TO he
brought from Paris and Placed
Permanently mt New York.

Representing the League for Social
Service at the Paris exposition, DR..
w. H. Tolman is experimenting the
shipping of economic and industrial
exhibits of France, Russia, Roumania,
Italy and Germany, which have been
promised to him by the representa-
tives of those countries and which
with the American exhibit that he
will bring back with him he in
tends to make the nucleus of a mu-
scum of social economy in New York
city, to be conducted along lines sim
liar to those of the Commercial mu-
scum of Philadelphia. The collection
will consist chiefly of models, photo
graphs and monographs by experts.
The exhibit from this country re-
ceived the grand prix, the highest
award.
The establishment of social mu-
scum in New York city, it is thought,
will be of national benefit, as students,
architects and municipal officers can
find in it suggestions for all sorts of
practical Improvements in dwellings
and manner of living.

Boys Industrial School.

One OF the most important public in
stitutions in the State of Ohio is the
Boys Industrial School located at
Lancaster, being a correctional and
educational institution. 1t has an
average Of nearly nine hundred lads
between the ages of eight and eighteen
years, and its objcts and purposes are
to bring them up as good men.
With this end in view a movement
is on foot to supply a library ade-
quate to the needs of these growing
minds, and Mr. Malcolm Jennings, a
former member of the Board of Trus-
tees Of the Institution, has taken
charge of the matter. Mr. Jennings
earnestly invites all people who have
spare books and magazines, bound or
unbound, to send them to Hon. c. D.
Hilles, Superintendent of the School,
at Lancaster. Good application will
be made of them, and the gift will be
appreciated in full measure.

HOME FOR BACHELOR GIRLS,
modern Butldins to De Put Up in
London by United States
MilliOnndres

The London Daily Express says a
syndicate of New York and Philadel-
phia millionaires, including Russell
Sage, James j. Hill. and Mrs. Hetty
Green, is about to build great hotel
here for bachelor girls. The archi-
tect who has charge of the designs
has sailed for America and saws he
has an option on property close to
where the new Yerkes underground
railroad will cross the present tube.
The building will be as high as the
law allows. 1t will be lighted with
electricity and heated by steam.
There will also be Turkish bath es-
tablishment, and the charges Will be
very moderate. There will be suffi-
cient reception-rooms to allow of pri-
vate conferences with male relatives
and sweethearts. The promoters sim
ply seek, so they say, five per cent.
return on their investment.

LoNG-LosT CHILD FOUND.
Mysterious Kidnapping Case of
Twenty Yenrs Ends SAT-
isfactOrtly.

The "lost babe" mystery that has ag-
itated the vicinity of Kokomo, Ind, for
20 years has been solved. Twenty-one
years ago Martin Chism of the eastern
part of the county, lost his wife by
death, and an infant daughter was left
temporarily with its grandparents.
While in their charge the baby disap-
peared on dark, stormy night, and
though a thorough and systematic
search was kept up for months, in
which the entire neighborhood joined,
no tidings were obtained, and after
years of anxious search the distracted
father gave up the child as dead. Later
the grandparents moved to Missouri.
A month ago letter came to the
kokomo postmaster from Mrs. Fan
ME McClelland, of a small and re-
mote town in Missouri, asking him
If any person named Chism resided
here. The writer was the lost baby,
who in some manneS had learned that
she had been abducted and that her
fathers name was chism. The father.
who still resides here, answered the
letter with some misgivings, but a re-
turn message came the other day set
tling all doubts. Mrs. McClelland also
came herself, and the meeting of the
father and child was a
joyous one. She does not know who
did the kidnapping and it was only bv
accident that she discovered her rela-

American Buys Tiffany brooch,

Simmons, the millionaire hardware
dealer of st. Louis, has bought the
famous Tiffany pearl and emerald
brooch, for which the shah of Persia
is said to have made a fabulous offer.
Mr.. Tiffany declined to tell what Mr..
Simmons paid, saying that it is abso-
lutely against the regulations of the
firm to reveal anything about pur-
chases of iewelry.
The brooch is unique, first because
OF the extraordinary Workmanship,
but mainly because every precious
stone has belonged to some historical
crowned head of England or France.
One pearl once adorned a ring worn
by Marie Antoinette.
The hardware merchant intends the
brooch for wedding gift for his
daughter.

CANNOT NATURALIZE NEGROES
Ruling of United States Court De.
clares Federal Law Admits White
Males Only.

Judge Kirkpatrick, in the United
States court of Trenton, N. j., refused
naturalization papers to Robert
Spaulding (colored), a native of
Dutch Guiana. The papers were re-
fused on the ground that the federal
laws permit the naturalization of
white males only. Spaulding is a
graduate of Howard university, Wash
ington, d. c., and is now a student at
Princeton university, and had expect
ed to take up the study of law. His
inability to become naturalized will
prevent his admission to the bar.
Spaulding said he would appeal the
case to Attorney General Griggs. A
decision similar to that rendered by
Judge Kirkpatrick was given in the
state courts in the case of a colored
man who was born in Nova Scotia.

GETTING no BE GOOD INDIANS.
Gen. Merriam Makes Encouraging
Report of the Progress Made
by the Apaches.

There were no Indian troubles in the
department of the Colorado last year,
according to Gen. Merriam, and the
only difficulties between white men
and Indians were individual, arising
from cards and whisky The white
men, says the general, were the aggres-
sors.
In the course of his annual report.
Gen. Merriam states the disposition of
his troops, and says:
ut will be observed that nearly all
of the posts are placed on or in the i'm
mediate vicinity of large reservations.
The exceptions, Forts Douglas, D. A.
Russell and Logan, are at important
railroad centers, rendering their gar
risons quickly available for emergen-
cies in any direction"
The general speaks with commenda-
tion of the excellent progress being
made toward civilization by the
Apaches under the management of
Capt. Nicholson, Seventh cavalry. He
says:
II found them largely and success
fully engaged in agriculture, and saw
large numbers of men. as we'll as wom-
en-, at work in the fields, most unusual
for Indians. was also told by rail
road officials that they could not en-
ploy better men for railroad labor than
these Apache Indians. In view of these
facts, and of the assurance by Cant.
Nicholson of the absolute loyalty and
efficiency of his Indian police, l rec
commended the withdrawal of all the
troops from San Carlos agency, instead
of repairing that post"

Herman Pastsch of San Francisco has
just made the trip from San Francisco 10
st. Louis on a ticket purchased fourteen
years ago. Every conductor who took
up tho ticket scanned it carefully, but
it was as good as though it had been
purchased on the day the journey began.
The trip was made via the Southern
Pacific, the Rio Grande lines and the
Burlington Route. Pastsch purchased
the ticket in San Francisco, March 8,
1886. and paid $50 for it. At the time
he bought it, he intended TO make trip to
st. Louis in a short time. Between the
time Of the purchase and the date OF his
departure, a rate war was i~naugurated,
and he purchased another ticket for a
small amount holding the old one. His
first ticket had not been limited and
Pastsch concluded to keep it for use
should he desire to make a later journey
to st. Louis. This second journey has
just been completed, and under oircum-
stances which make it unique in rail
road annals.
