 Six Room Apartment.
IRIS RENT WILL BE ss,ooo.

All Comforts and Conveniences Are
 Provided by the Landlord For the
 Young Millionaire and His Family s In Their New Abode mt New York.
 Servants of House Have Distinct
 Livery.
 Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, the richest young matron in the United States, will keep house ill a six room flat in New York. The rent Is $6,o00 year, and there are thousands in New York who pay more than that.
 The Vanderbilt fiat is in Madison ave nue, 161 and 1G3 1t is midway be- tween Thirty second and Thirty-third streets, sandwiched in between row of boarding houses on the east side of the way. The apartment house re- joices in the euphonious name of the Warrington. 4. twas only few weeks ago that the Vanderbilts, principally for novelty's sake, made up their minds to try a flat for the winter They have been stay ing in Newport and have decided to return there early in the spring, after two or three months in town and per haps a flying trip down south during the raw weeks of March and early April. As a matter of fact, two apart ments have been knocked into one so as to make rooms of the necessary size. Whether the multimillionaire tenants are in Europe or Kamchatka, the fiat will be swept and dusted daily, to be ready for immediate occupancy.
 Mrs. Vanderbilt already has settled upon the arrangement of the six rooms at her disposal. She has decided to dine downstairs at a restaurant when ever she and MT. Vanderbilt are at home, so there is no dining room prob- lem. There are in the Warrington es- tablishment head valet and assistants to care for the mems clothes and to do the, hundred and one odd little things needed. every day by a man of fashion. A full corps of maids is also at the call of the women of the house. The Van derbilts will have only breakfast in their suit.
 Dinner win be taken in the public dining room, where to each family q separate table is. assigned. It looks more like a dining room of some. big pF1VaIG ,T2SlueDCe.

Fresh flowers will be provided for the table at each meal, and all butter, eggs, milk and vegetables they require will come from private farm owned by the apartment house. Z,
 The south room of the suit will be the drawing room and the one adjoin- ing a library and den.. The two north rooms of the suit will be her room and MT. Vanderbilt's. The baby and the nursemaid will have the two rooms in the rear, and the other servants will be assigned to rooms in the servants quarters on the top floor. There is a bathroom on each side of the hall.
 The servants of the house have dis tinctive livery, such as private families of wealth now require. The men who will wait on the Vanderbilts wear claw hammer coats of brown cloth tricked out with brass buttons. .-.

John Alexander Do~ie been mystery. In
fact, it is still mystery. The curiosity
of the public has been fed with mass
of figures representing bills against DR..
Dowie, with estimates of possible as
sets, with figures given by the general
Overseer himself as to his financial
standing; but there has been but little
into the ways and methods of Zion.
In fact, the mystery has but deepened
because of the seeming faith placed in
the institution and it's head by the con-
Germs having claims against it. Before
the receivers were appointed more than
so firms had filed suits against Dowie
for goods furnished him. What they
were asking were judgments, the forci-
BILE collection of which would have meant
the appointment of receivers, and yet
when the receivers are appointed they
protest against it, and the majority ask
that the receivership be dissolved, and
that the venerable head of the Christian
Catholic church be permitted to con-
tinue his operations.
1t looks very much as though these
men, at least, now understand the finan-
cial possibilities of Zion; that they have
been given an insight into the methods
of Dowie, and know that he is in a posi-
ton to pay if let alone. Dowie, him.
self, claims assets of more than SD, OO0,-
900 over and above his liabilities, and
says he is in no way financially embar-
raised. The receivership is expensive,
and if Zion is solvent, it but helps to eat
up the funds that might otherwise go
to creditors, and force the community
into bankruptcy. The whole thing is a
mystery from which the public have
gained but little light.

PORTO RIC0's DEVELOPMENT,
Sangufne Views of Gov. Hunt Are MOI
Shared by Postmaster
Landis.

Gov. Hunts sangulne views regard
ing Porto Rico, as expressed in his an
nual report, are not shared, apparently,
by all the federal oficeholders on the
island. Postmaster Lands, of San
Juan, who is visiting Washington on
business, takes a rather depressed view
of the present outlook, says the Wash
ington Post. It seems to him that af-
fairs in the island will not take much
of an upward turn till the Americana
who have business interests there make
q point of staying and spending their
money there. Even the American
bankers, he says, are not living on the
scale that persons in corresponding po-
sitions would live in this country. The
owners of the sugar plantations come
to the United States or 60 to- Spain to
spend their incomes, and all that is
left in the island is the 40 cents a day
paid to the laborers. Foreign business
houses are largely run on the family
plan. One member makes his fortune
and retires to his own country, making
way for some relative who wishes
start in life, and who does just the
same thing in his turn. -
One or two large hotel projects, in
the hands, of American capitalists, who
hope to start a tide of immigration to-
ward Porto Rico as winter resort,
hold out almost the only hope for the
present permanent improvement in To-
cal conditions there. 81,

civilians committed II I had the stats.
tics. 1t had reached the point where
the policeman took his life In his hands
every time he went on duty. The patrol
man and the detective were both ex-
posed to the unerring aim of the MUIR
derous thug. !. -. j..
There is no doubt that the Chicago
police force is far from model one in
many respects. The Hermann graft"
committee Investigations have proven
that some of the force are not above
taking protection" money from the
vicious classes, and it is this protection
which has brought about the reign OF
the thug in the city. But on the other
hand there are as brave men on the
Chicago police force, men as true to their
duty to the public which they serve, as
may be found in any other city in Amer
lea, and it is the true man who has suf-
fered for the shortcomings of the faith
less ones.
Detective Quinn was one of the true
men. He was neither fool nor cow
ard. He met death in the performance
Of duty, as did seven others of his COM
panions of the force within the last
three years. Had he shot Marx with
out warning, and without the confession
Marx afterwards made, he would have
been criticised as being too free with
his gun" When he did not do so and
suffered the penalty the public called
him a fool for letting a bad man get
the best of him. But he was neither.
He was just conscientious official. He
knew nothing of the desperateness Of
the man he. had gone to arrest, a man
who was the outgrowth Of conditions
the unfafthful of the force had permit
ted and assisted to grow.

1uduc ~ desperate
a stand in the sand dunes of Indiana
was on exhibition in Chicago. The ex-
hibition of this was quickly followed
by the exhibition of the sweetheart of
Van Dine. The public t1ocked to see
both of these objects. They were espe-
cially attractive to the small boy of the
city, and around them he built a ro-
nance, with the murderers as the
heroes. Since their exhibition every
open lot of Chicago has witnessed a re-
hearsal of the Indiana tragedy that has
brought out all the inert viciousne IS
of the average small boy, and has start
ed many of them on the road to crime.
The city council propose to put stop
to exhibitions of this kind, and when it
does so it will have closed one of the
schools for crime in this city.
The all-night saloon is another of
these schools for crime; the dance hall
that is open to the drunken jewellers OF
a city at all hours of the night Is yet
another. Both of these are, for a time,
under the ban. If they stay closed two
other of Chicago's schools for crime will
have passed out of existence. Take
away from the small boy the yellow
back novel and still another will have
been removed. This making heroes OF
criminals is but the making of GRIM
inals of boys who otherwise might be
heroes.
