the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
the Panama Railroad In the days when
brownstone fronts with art gallery attach

residences here or anywhere else in this
country.
After Mr.. Aspinwall had accumulated a
fortune he made up his mind to indulge his
fondness for art, and he decided to make
collection OF pictures OF his own. Before
he could well do that. howeysr' o ne nag 70

MOVING PLATFORM SUBWAY.
Denial That a Five.Cent Fare IL COnten,.
plated-Three Cents, Maybe.

Max E. Schmidt OF the Schmidt 4 Gal
latin syndicate. which has applied to the
Rapid Transit Commission for franchise
to build subway for a moving platform
between Williamsburg bridge and Bowl
ing Green. denied yesterday that his COM
pany had sought to amend its application
so as to provide for cent, instead of a
two-cent fare. At the meeting OF the
commission on Thursday President Alex
ander f. Orr was understood to say that the
members OF the syndicate. after a con-
ference with him. had decided so to amend
their application.
Mr.. Schmidt said yesterday that the CON-
ferences I've had had with MIR. Orr and En-
gine,r Parsons had related almost en-.
tirely to the route. Mr.. Parsons proposed
that the platform should be built under
Park row. down Nassau street and eA-
tended 70 South Ferry instead OF stopping at
Bowling Green. Mr. Schmidt pointed out
that as a subway from Bowling Green TO
South Ferry would be below the water
level. it would be necessary to build Golfer
dams, and intimated that In consequence OF
this extra expense his company ought to be
allowed to charge more than O two-cent
fare, but he denied yesterday that he had
stipulated for five-cent fare. 1t is not
expected, he says, that such an increase
would amount to more than three-cent
fare with privilege to passengers to pur.
chase two tickets for five cents.

In the Nut business.

The pistachio nut is known in Amer
lea, generally speaking, only to confec-
TONERS, it being too expensive for com
mon use. The nut is very popular in
Mediterranean ports. where it has dpiv-
en- almost all other nuts out of the
market. Although the nut is grown
mainly in Greece, it is sold almost in
variably by Syrian boys, who so about
the streets with bag of nuts thrown
over their shoulders. These boys, by
the way, have peculiar method of do
ing business. They enter cafes and
other places where people are seated
and, holding out handful of the nuts,
invite a guess as to the number. If the
person guesses correctly, he is given
the nuts for nothing. If he fails to
guess correctly, he is in honor bound to
buy them-W Washington Post.
