mortals, the shah, when he found
himself face to face with the dentist.
discovered that his toothache had
disappeared, and so absolutely re-
fused to be operated ON. However,
his majesty declared that he did not
wish the dentist to lose his time, and
so commanded that tooth be ex-
tracted from each of his suite. He
said this with his eyes on the ground
and then, suddenly looking up, found
to his intense amusement, that al

There is tradition that Nathan HAZE,
the martyr spy, spent his last night
previous to death in this prison.
The building was constructed about
1857. when the city was below wall
street. the city hall being where the
subtreasury now stands. The need OF
room in the, city hall made the re-
moyal of the Jail therefrom necessary,
and the building of the new Jail, two
stories high. was decided upon. At
this time, whenever a public or benev-
client work was undertaken, it was the
custom of the province to grant lot
terry to raise the money, and in this
way $4,000 was raised for the new
Jail. As the building advanced the plan
was changed for three stories, and an
additional lottery grant was voted.
The ste was regarded as remote from
the city, and was by the side of the
| "workhouse," then on the site where
the city hall now stands, adjoining the
high road to Boston, leading from
| Spring Garden at the junction of Full
ton and Ann streets and Broadway. II

OLD HALL OF RECORDS.
End of Historic Revolutionary Prison
In New York City Recalls War
Time CrueIties.

The demolition of the "old Hall of
Records" or the Registers Office. as
it is called by so many lawyers and
others, which was begun recently, will
arouse the regret of many persons be-
cause it is looked upon as not only the
Oldest, but the only public building
connecting the people of to-day with
revolutionary times, says the New York
Tribune of recent date. During the
war of the revolution, beginning with
the occupation of New York by the
British in 1776, until Evacuation day
in 1883, it was crowded promiscrously
with felons of the worst character,
prisoners of war and others who had
incurred the enmity of the British au-
thorities, and was ruled over by the
infamous provost marshal, Cunning
ham, whose brutality and cruelties
have caused his name to be execrated.
1t is charged that American generals
and soldiers were starved to death in
this building, many being relieved of
their sufferings by the administration
of arsenic in their rations. In some of
