The Strong Yohe romance now betakes
itself to the one remaining continent un-
touched by its glamor. The pair sailed
on the Kaiser. Wilhelm under assumed
Cherbourg, whence they will post for
Paris to blow in some of those pounds
sterling recently received from Lord
Hope. Then they will make for the
bush. Iceland and Alaska now remain
to be conquered. After a decent inter-
val to enable them to "do" Melbourne
and Sidney (say three months) we may
these places. Then the inevitable ''story"
will follow. !.
It is very evident that the Haymarket,
the rendezvous for all-night FOUNDERS of
the Tenderloin, cannot thrive on the sale

manager of the place came to that con-
clusion after trying the system, and, as
result, for the first time in many years
all blinds are down, lights are out and
the place is deserted at O'Clock a. m.
All the other resorts along both avenues
and in cross streets Of the Tenderloin
took the cue from the Haymarket, and
cayern-like darkness and silence pre-
vail. or course, this sort of thing won't
last.

of the whip. Then what was the secret
of the power which enabled him to defy
the law, the police and the courts for 50
many years? Why was such a man
spoken of in hushed tones as one whom
no official dared to punish? l can't make
it OUT continued Mr.. Jerome. "Canfeld
is an ordinary criminal and we have an
overwhelming case against him. He has
fled for the country and he will never re-
turn while | am in office, that is. pretty
certain. He knows perfectly we'll the
nature of the evidence we have secured.
It is conclusive" Mr.. jerome says also

The giant "Flatiron' building at Tween;

from it's wedge shape, is proving costly
to the occupants of stores on its Fifth
avenue and Broadway sides. High winds
coming out of the northeast, toward
which the building points, are split by
the tall structure, whose swelling sides
retard further progress and then defect
and hurl the wind down and across the
thoroughfares with sufficient force to
smash the heavy windows on the other
sides of the road. The windows in GIN.
Vincent's store have been broken twice,
and that firm has been obliged to divide
each Of it's large windows into two by
the addition of frame work, so as to give
the smaller areas Of glass sufficient brace
to withstand the wind pressure. Tho
windows in the stores Of the Tabard Inn
Library and w. H. Browns Sons were
protected last night with large pieces of
plank.
