Women i'm Prison.

y, The woman in prison is despoiled Of
her fine feathers. The complete NOR
LITIGATION of that harmless sort of vani-
ty which fills so much of a. womans life
makes her durance doubly vile. Her
hair is shorn of it's last lock, while the
face that gazed with perfect passive
ness at the judge who sentenced her
is raised in piteous protest. When the
hair grows longer again there is grum-
bling because thoughtless admins
'tration provides no hairpins. One wom-
an skinned the fat from her broth
after it had cooled to glitter her crown
of glory, an attendant relates. One
girl, envied to the point Of madness,
certainly rouged. Finally her secret
was out. She had drawn some red
threads from her skirt, chewed them to
extract the color and used it on her
lips and cheeks. The most oppressive
penance is lack of mirrors. Still, there
are no male hearts around to break

Tribune building of ten stories was
erected. 1t was the marvel of It's day,
and one of the highest Office buildings
ever erected in the old-fashioned way
before the steel skeleton method was
invented of raising "sky-scrapers." Its
lower story walls are as thick as those
OF castle on the Rhine. l remember
well reading, as lad in the country,
the description of the Tribune's new
building and wondering If should
ever see it. The avid memory of youth
reminds me how the architect proved
that in it the limit of profitable height
was reached. The argument was plau-
sible. The walls of masonry had to be
Increased in thickness with every add
ed story, so that there came a time
when 1t did not pay to go higher, be-
cause the mass of masonry became too
enormous, and the valuable room in
the lower stories was too much en-
croached upon. Ten years later an an
mex was erected of the steel frame type.
The contrast in> the wall thickness of
the two structures is startling.
The Tribune building is an important
asset to the paper. Its rentals are high,
almost the whole of it being occupied
by the offices of Hearst's American,
which distributes press rooms and spe-
cial departments over half a dozen
buildings in the neighhorhood. The
enlarged building will be one of the
most profitable structures downtown.

below the subway the papers can be
hoisted up and loaded for uptown or
downtown in jitry. Above the sub
way tunnel are the mechanical depart
ments; the printing and editorial
rooms are as usual 20 stories away,
and all between are Offices to help pay
the bills
The Herald is the sharpest contrast
to the others. Its building, occupying
an entire block and only three stories
high, is one of the architectural orna-
ments of the city. 1t is built upon
leasehold property. Some one asked
Mr. Bennett why he put up so fine a
structure upon land that he did not
own and could not long control.
What do l care what becomes of it
in so years?" was the not unreasonable
remark Of the bachelor owner.
The uptown newspaper row will soon
be increased by Mr. Hearst, who plans
to put up building on the edge of
Central park, fully five miles from the
post Office.
FRANK Munsey mAy follow the exam
pie of Mr.. Hearst and seek an uptown
site for the Daily News. Though he
has made something of mess of it
thus far, he sticks to the idea of max
ing great daily out of it.
Of the slap-bang methods of great
editors of the modern school" they
tell a good one on Mr.. Munsey. The
News was an afternoon paper, in the
old days the organ of Tammany Hall
and once the leading newspaper in New
York as to circulation. Without warn
ing Mr.. Munsey changed it to morn
ing paper, bold step, greatly increas-
ing the expense and the difficulty of
making both ends meet. Late the first
night Mr.. Munsey went to the tele-
phone and called up the Associated
Press office to ask why he was not get
ting any press dispatches.
''Why, Mr.. Munsey, you have no
franchise for morning paper We
cannot send you any dispatches.
1t had never occurred to Mr.. Munsey
to inquire into this little matter. Nor
to this day does the News get the "A.
P. stuff" as it is irreverently called for
short.

Tribune extends Elbowing the Sun
behind the Sun, forming a complete

enormous sum for the Sun site, which
would complete a frontage of 200 feet
for the Tribune and make one of the
finest sites in the city. It cannot pay

ty radical. Bruce Price, a famous pio-
neer in tall architecture, worked out o
plan for a 35-story Sun building upon
it's present stte-a simple shaft 400
feet tall and Is feet square, It was to
have its heating plant and power house
on less expensive land down the street.
This monumental Office would have
been built and it would have been even
now the tallest Office structure in New
York, but just then came q financial
panic and when that was over other
plans prevailed. l saw the plans
hanging in Mr.. Laffan's Office, where he
could look upon them lovingly. They
may be there yet. Things do not change
much in the Sun Office. So long as he
lived Charles A. Dana worked in a
shabby little box about ten feet SQUARE
completely filled with books and pa-
pers, utterly confused and disorderlv.

Magazine, is the only important editor
in New York who still maintain such

menber amputated. Forthwith he went
TO a carpenter and explained 10 him
that unless the finger was cut OF le

The carpenter tried 20 dissglce the
devofee and urged that an application
of some drops OF water fro1l the sa-
