Manhattan can be styled the wealthiest

The pcculiarities of it's sections have
determined in the main its precincts of

Green Street, running from Canal to
Fourth Street, parallel to Broadway by
two blocks, was infested with dives and
saloons that We're horrible. They were
driven out as the property became Valu-
able as sites for great stores, and not by
reformers. Yet in those days the reform
or was abroad. Z To-day the value, of real
estate for stores or residences has regu-
lated the sequestration. That portion OF
the once-famous Te1derloin district,
skirting the neiShborh6od of great ho-

AMUSE M ENTS.

The strike of the White Rats" is still
on. and most of the better known vaude-
vile stars are taking a rest Progressive
managers like those Of the Bijou. are no.
thing daunted, but are getting new acts
that are fully up to the standard OF the
old. The bill at the Bijou this week is
one of the best ever presented in that
popular home of vaudeville. The truth
was that the audience was surprised at
the excellence of the offerings.
The Four Rentons We're clearly the
faYorites. They presented a rural comedy
sketch that was received with a perfect
storm of applause The sketch was orig
sinal and was well staged. The character
impersonation of three down-easrcrs VAS
excellent, and the dancing of the other
member of the company was far above
the average. The violin-I should say
tiddle-playing of country dances was OK
ceedinSly laughable, and caused parox-
ism of laughter.
The Five Olracs, European grotesaue
acrobats, gave a wonderful performance.
Their faats were new and difficult, and
were accomplished with an ease and
seeming lack of effort that added largely
to their success. The youngster OF the
uuintette was one of the funniest and
nimbliest acrobats ever seen here. His
tumbling was particularly good.
Corinne, she of comic opera fame, sans,
and danced we'll and played mandolin
solo that was very pleasing. She was
warmly applauded. Powell gave good
old fashioned exhibition of illusion work
presenting among other things a modill-
cation of the trunk trick used by Houdini.

S0UTHERN'S DIRECTORY.
An Important Meeting Will Be Held
FRIDAY.

It was learned hero last night that
there would be meeting of the directors
OF the Southern Railway in New York
on next Friday.
1t has been a long time since there has
been a meeting of the board. the out
come of which was awaited with SO
much interest. The interest is due to
the rapid advance OF Southern stock re-
Gently, and the possibility Of a dividend
being declared at this meeting. There
seems no very plain reason for believing
this will be done.
Some went sc far as to say the meeting
might consider matters relative to the
consolidation of Southern and Plant IN
terasts, but these only credited the alb
surd reports over the stock wire yester-
day that the rise in Southern stocks was
due to the uniting OF two properties.

One rainy evening when traffic on
the elevated road was dull guard on
the Sixth avenue line found a COM
paratively new silk umbrella in one
Of the cars. When lone passenger
entered the car at Park place, the
guard proudly showed his find.
"It comes in great for me tonight"
he said "Ths is my last trip, and I
have long walk. had no umbrella"
The lone passenger, who was also
without rain protector. congratulated
the guard.
The two carried on a pleasant con-
versation, only interrupted by stops at
stations. In time the train reached
the Eighty-f1rst street station, where
the passenger was to get out. The
guard had carefully deposited his UNI
brella in a corner of the front plat
form of the car. While he was busy
opening the gates the passenger quiet
ly lifted it from its resting place and
left the car AS the guard closed the
gates and gave the bellcord vigorous
pull he saw his, former passenger walk
ing along the platform carrying the
umbrella.
"Hey, therel Stop 1T! Bring that
backl' shouted the guard.
81 need it myself" replied the recent
passenger.
Come back, sayi You are thiefP.''
cried the guard as the train slowly pull
ed out.
The new proprietor Of the umbrella
only smiled as he walked down the
steps. He now shows the umbrella
to his legal friends and quotes the old
adage, Possession is nine .ents Of
the law."-New York Times
