of the places where white aprons are
worn and two glasses served with each
drirl, had hard-luck stories to tell. In
the first saloon, the proprietors SAID
there was less drinking now than betore.
Ten wears ago il was quite the thing ne

went onward. The next saloon he struck
had a better story to tell The propri-
etor wanted to set EN- up, he did set EN-
nm So did the next saloon fellow; the
next: the next, and others. Finally the
reporter got back to his starting point,

NEW PLANT HOUSE.

Son of Founder of Great Transporta-
ton System Purchases Plot.
New York Herald.
Morton B. Plant son of the late Henry
b. Plant, famous as the founder of the
transportation system which bears his
name, has just arranged to purchase
costly residence site in one of the choicest
blocks in this city, and will follow the
lead of other men of wealth by building
magnificent dwelling on II, from plans
by R. w. Gibson. He will have two
members of the Vanderbilt family for
neighbors.
Mr.. Plants site is the southeast corner
OF Fifth Avenue and Fifty-second Street,
avenue a frontage of 100 feet in the
avenue and frontage of 100 feet in the
street. The property cost him, no doubt,
considerably more than $500 900. 1t is es-
. timated that the land and the house he
IL to erect will together amount to nearly
900 in value
Corporation acquired from Stewart II.
Chisholm, at a price of 81 ,000,0OO a plot
of five Fifth Avenue lots at the south
east corner of the avenue and F1fty-sec-
ond Street 1t has now sold TO Mr.. Plant
the northerly two of these lots, and on
the remaining frontage of IS feet two fine
dwellings are now being erected for mem
bers of the Vanderbilt family. Presum-
ably they are Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
who recently married Miss French, and
his younger brother, Reginald ClaYpool
Vanderbilt, who is to marry Miss Neil
son. All other members OF the family
are provided with houses or dwelling
sites. f. w. Nanderbilts house, al the
southeast corner Of Fifth Avenue and
Forteth Street is rather old fashioned,
however, and though he is having it alt
cred he may possibly be the prospective
occupant of one Of the new mansions
eleven blocks further north.
Opposite Mr.. Plants dwelling site are
the twin brownstone mansions coupled
by W. d. Sloane and George W VAN
derbilt which cover the block front IN
the west side of Fifth Avenue, from Fiji
ty-first to Fifty-second Street Messrs
Sloane and Vanderbilt bought the CHS
holm plot merely to safeguard their own
property and the price they paid was far
above what it would have been appraised
at under ordinary circumstances Mr..
Plant will be within a stones throw of
the new Union Club building, which
stands on the northeast corner Of Fifth
Avenue and Fiftv-first Street. Next to
No 3, comes five and a half story
American basement dwelling, on 81
foot lot owned by John T. and James A

RICHARD oLNEY
Cannot Attend Big Banquet to Be

Given in Omaha.
Omaha Special to New York World.
An invitation extended by the Jackson

Massachusetts, to speak at the jackson
ian Club banquet to be held here on Jan

that the banquet. for which great prep

New York City, at which Hin and Cleve-
land were brought together and which
w. J. Bryan did not attend.
1t Is no secret that it was also the hope
of Democratic leaders that the BANQUET
would signalize the launching of a Presi-
Dental boom for Olney, in which Demo-
Gratis of both factions here believe will
be found a candidate to harmoniZe all
conflicting interests; who will prove a
drawing card against the Republican tick
1t. Olneys attitude during the Vene-
zuelan affair OF the Cleveland adminatra-
ton has been recollected in the present
Imbroglio in progress in the South Amer
lean States. His own personality, his
the subject of reciprocity. and his defined
policy as regards trusts. have served to
soften the feeling which his known predi-
lection for the gold standard raised in sill
Ver-coated hearts.
His deelination of the invitation because
of a previous engagement has therefore
created the deepest regret among those
who were cheered by the prospect of haV-
ing Olney and Bryan seated at the same
banquet table expressing Harmonious
views and sending joint greetings to the
party throughout the nation

Thinks There Will Be a Merger OF
the Major Leagues Next Week.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 2s.-President
Harry Pulliam of the National League
OF Baseball Clubs. is in the city. and
says he believes the fight between the
National and American Leagues will be
amicably adjusted next week in Cincin-
natl: An agreement just at this time
would have the effect of restoring the
old order of things. says Mr.. Pulliam, and
IL baseball were again on its old footing
IL would be an immense life to the game
all over the country. Franchises would
increase in value and investment of mon
ey In baseball would have the assurance
of permanent dividend. It would give the
clubs stability and would encourage the
managers If the minor leagues to develop
talent
1t is also true that players salaries
would be reduced, but that would be so
gradual that 1t would amount to practi-
cally nothing. The great thiIrg would be
the stability which it would give fran
chises and which Mr.. Pulliam says he
feels assured they will have after the
Cincinnati meeting.
Mr.. Pulliam says the baseball war Is
surely approaching an end and that the
whole country will operate with an ami
cable understanding next season.
