A 45.Story Building.

New York just now is enthusiastic
over proposed 45 story city build
ing, to cost $780, 100000. The scheme
does not appear to be a joke, but a
piece of grim realism. A As story
building certainly is a grim PROPOSE
ton looked at from present-day
standards. No one will doubt that
the engineers and architects can build
such structure if they set about it,
or that, once built, plenty Of people
will be found to I'll it from attic to
basement. Office-room on the 44th
will be in demand, just as Offices on
the 25th floors OF New York buildings
are snapped up at present. Elk
press" elevators will make the fea-
ture of the height of no particular
consequence. II the As. stoly office
building is a success, we may reason
ably expect to see the idea applied to
apartment buildings, and inside of
a few years it is quite possible that
50-stoIy structures will abound in
New York-perhaps in other cities.
The caricatures which appear from
time to time, depicting buildings of
numberless stories, will become
dreams realized.-Rutland News.

RACE MEN WILL BET.
Even on the Number Of White Horses
They Pass.


When men are anxious to risk their
money on the chance Of winning more,
there are all sorts of gambling opportun1-
ties presented to them by the most common
place and least suggestive things" said a
Washington man who follows the races,
to a reporter for The Star today
For instance" continued the betting
man. there is crowd Of about seven book
makers who are at present coaxing the elu-
sive dollars from the pockets of the Wash
ington sports at the Benning track, who
have a unique scheme for plying their
trade in leisure moments. These bookies
board the Benning car at 14th street and
New York avenue in bunch nearly every
afternoon. They take front seats together
and each member of the party puts doller
in the pot. which entrance fee entities him
to make guess on the number of white
horses they will pass on the ride from 14th
street to the end of the run.
THE counting of the white horses occu.
pies the attention and interest of the bet
ting men throughout the trip. The first day
this gambling arrangement was tnaugu-
rated the highest guess was twenty-seyen
and the number of white horses passed was
forty-two. The next day the bookies raised
their guesses to numbers around forty, the
highest being forty-seyen. The uncertainty
of the chance was shown by the Develop
ments Of that afternoon, for the bookies
passed seyenty-six white horses by actual
count on the trip. That is the highest num-
Der recorded. and the guesses now range
from forty to fifty.
You can find all sorts of chances to lose
your money without half looking for them.
and you don't have to go to the races to do
1t. either"

A SHREWD BARBER.
Realizes Profit on an Investment Of
Nothing

NOIu1uS.
ct worked what consider to be a pretty
good scheme. from a financial standpoint,
on the gent who was just ahead of you in
this chair" remarked tonsorial artist in
a swell barber shop down town, to a regu-
lar customer. THAT chap gets shaved here
only when he has his hair trimmed and
that averages up about once In six weeks,
for he lets his hair grow until his friends
guy him so that he is simply forced to
part with the price Of a hair cut .e.a
"Of course" the barber went. on to ex-
plain. ''the shop stood to lose money by him
shaving himself. One day when he was in
here for. one Of his few-and-far-between
hair cuts, the thought occurred to me that
1t might be good idea to make him
present Of an old razor that had outlived
it's usefulness and which I had intended
to give to one Of the colored bootblacks
connected with the shop. My idea was that
as the gent in question would very likely
use that razor three Of four times a week
it would need honing pretty often, espe-
cially as the blade was not made of the
best steel in the world. 1 further argued
that If he wasn't devoid of all sense Of
gratitude. he would more than likely give
me the Job Of honing it.
well, I offered to swap the razor for a.
good lead pencil. and my economical friend
5Idooeu LII IL DIS ed6elly DIS the winner
of a 40 to shot at the Benning track would
go to collect on his ticket. And sure enough
my reasoning turned out to be all right
I've honed that razor five times so far and
soaked the man a quarter each time SO
that I'm dollar and twenty-five cents
to the good. And that isn't all. I expect
to draw interest on my investment of prac-
tically nothing. at good rate and for an
indefinite period.
While the shop is not profiting much by
the game" added the barber II personally
am certainly making more out of it and
with much less labor than II the gent
shaved here regularly. Have a face mas

Commercial Advertiser.

From the Commercial dxerflser.
The recent agitation Of the bouilleurs de
cru, or private distillefs, Of France against
the proposals op NJ. aRouver, the minister
of finance. to TAX their franchise has dis
closed the immense power Of this vested in
terest among the peasantry. It is estimated
that no fewer than fifteen to eighteen hun
bred thousand families avail themselves of
the privilege to distill from the pears, ap-
pies, damsons and cherries of their orchards
spirituous liquors for household consump-
ton. But as every hectolitre of non-exempt
liquor-worth perhaps. some $1O-is taxed to
the tune of $44. there IS every inducement to
the .enterprising peasantsto distill more than
his household can consume, In order to do
an illicit business with his neighbors and
in this way some 100000 to $40, 06O, GOO
per annum escape the treasury. In the or
chard-iand of Normandy the privately dis
titled liquor is. indeed. quite a recognized
medium of exchange. and the bouilleur de
cru often pays his workmen, his tailor. his
butcher and his land In terms OF alcohol.

Aside from her musical efforts. Mrs.

to several causes.
First. she entered the arena under the
wing of Mrs. George CORVALLIS West

English honors on herself since that time.
Mrs. Ronalds found Lady Randolph
Churchill was amazingly admired. The
two women have kept their cordial friend
ship up to the present time.
A Charming Personality.
A second factor in Mrs. Ronalds' rise has
been a plentiful purse and her ability to
entertain uncommonly well. She entrances
people who get inside her house.
Third. Mrs. Ronalds has succeeded. be-
cause she is thoroughly charming wo-
man. She Is no longer. young. but even
now there are considerably more than
few traces of what must have been her
extraordinary youthful beauty. She has
fine profile. excellent clear skin. and the

There is a whisper to the effect that Mrs.

debted to Mrs. Ronalds for her introduce
ton at court. The two are great friends,
and were seen together frequently during
the Belgian minister's wifes recent stay in

is no one truer to her American friends or
more willing to let them profit by her Lon
don position than Mrs. Ronalds.

lar and sometimes not, but Mrs. Ronalds
seems to have good-naturedly maintained
the even tenor of her way.

ground. She answers questions in regular
order. and evidently has the knack of
thinking logically. She is kindly, gener-
years of hazardous social ambition, the
sincerity and simplicity of nature which
made her, as girl. universally beloved.
In dress Mrs. Ronalds displays very quiet

stead. she employs a clost-fitting work-a-
day dress of black broadcloth. Her street
gowns are usually of blue and simply built.

London Taking to Flats.

1t seems almost certain that London will
go the way Of most cities on the continent,
and that its large private houses, those
castles so dear to the Engiishmen, with
all their waste of space and extravagant
cost. must give way to flats It seems
probable. too, that London will improve
upon the continental practice and COM
bfne restaurants with flats. We may see
that this plan has already been tried with
excellent results in certain flats of the
more luxurious order. But the system Is
extending rapidly, and there are now flats
or sets of rooms, of an entirely unpreten-
tious kind, where lunches and dinners are
served in the public dining room at a cost
of from 8 pence for lunch to 1 shilling or
1 shilling 8 pence for dinner. The food is
simple, but well cooked, and can be nicely
served at sum just over cost price. We
