The wonder is how can a man do busi-
ness on Broadway and expect to make a
profit, considering the extraordinary rents
that are exacted. The profits in cigars
must be stupendous. for tobacconlsts pay
more rent than liquor dealers. A cigar
company has leased a lot thirty-one feet
front on Broadway for 100000 a year for
twenty-one years. Not a stones throw
from the city hall is a corner shop hardly
big enough to take a long breath In, for
which the annual rental Is $11 900. For the
basement beneath 1t, used as a restaurant,
1000 is paid.

SHORT STORIES FROM
THE SMALL AD. PAGE,
Housekeepers Are No Longer Slaves to
the Whims of Cooks and
Walters.

The fact that 1t is practically impos-
sible to insert small ad. in The Times
for help wanted without securing imme :
'iate results is so thoroughly under
s.ood by many Of the leading boarding
house keepers of the city that they are
never disturbed about being short of
help. If waiter or a cook does not
give satisfaction he is told on the in
stant that he can go. An ad. is inserted
in the next issue of The Times and
bright and early in the morning some
reply is sure to be received. Frequent
ly these replies come within an lonr
after the paper is on the street
A big difference is noticeable in the
replies received In various parts OF the
city, and. however tempting the offer
from some of the less aristocratic sec
tions. nothing like the same number OF
applications can be expected for ads.

spite this, however, there is not part
of the city where number OF replies

for the accident. there is much to be
said now and hereafter. First of all
comes the assertion Of Madden 70 the
President. that the trolley car "hah tne
right Of way over the special party
Then COMES circumstantial story
from the clerk of the Kendee Hotel, In
Pittsfeld. that party of New York peo-
pie. whose names were unknown to him,
were in the lobby of the hotel at 9:3o
O'Clock this morning, and were greatly
distressed because they could not get
to the club before the President left.
A man ran up to this party, accord
ing to the clerks statement, and called
to them that il they would hurry they
could get to the club in trolley car.
He said he had paid the motorman
money. and he would beat the Presi-
dents party to the clubhouse. They all
hurried, out
This story is substantiated by pas
sengers on Madden's car, to the effect
that one set of their fellow-passengers
were constantly reminding the motor
man that there was something In 1t
for him II he got them to the Coun-
try Club ahead of the President.
Lost Control of Car.
'c'Niubi VI tht, W uost OiuNot uN'ch
Dor never knew him to think evil of
any man, is sure that the motorman
lost control of his car.
Madden himself said that the reason
he ran into the carriage was that Pratt
pulled the horses suddenly across the
tracks. without any gesture of warn
ing. But this hardly explains to the
satisfaction OF Coroner Colt and Dis
trict Attorney Nixon, who, by the way.
was on the car at the time of the acci-
dent, why Madden thought he was JUS
titled in going so near to a carriage at
such rate of speed.
Dr. Lungs estimate of rate at which
the car passed him was thirty miles an
hour. The line is new. and motormen
have been given to letting their cars
run at their highest speed. Madden and
Kelly are held without bail 1t is like
ly they will be charged with man
slaughter.
