Not Then. But Now" is the title
of a song for the middle voice just
published in Washington. ID. G.
The words are by James l., Rodier
and the music by Mrs. H. S. Wild,
the talented wife of a former resident
of Martinsburg, now located in the
capital city. The poetry is in Mr..
Rodier's best vein, and Mrs. Wild has
caught the spirit of the words and set
them TO a beautiful air that is a re-
freshing change from the hackneyed
rag-time composition. Mrs. Wild has
composed much music that is popular,
but her latest composition bids fair to
attain even a greater degree of popu-
larity than any previous work.

COMPROMISE on FIREPROOFING.
Builders and City OnIcials Agree On q
special J-St0ry COnst ruction.

A meeting held yesterday a, the New
Amsterdam Hotel will probably result
in the introduction OF bill AT Albany to
amend the Tenement House law 70 as to
permit the construction OF serpi-freproof
houses OF seven stories.
The law, AZ il now stands, provides that
apartments and tenemepts exceeding six
stories in height above the curb level
must be fireproof. Professional builders
contend that a six-story apartment house
with elevator service does not pay, except
on low-priced land. On the other hand,
IL fireprOof construction is used, IL is neces-
sary TO go up ten or twelve stories In order
to secure proper return from the capital
invested.
The building interests introduced bill
some time ago to make seven, instead OF
six, stories the maximum height for nom
fireproof buildings. This. however. met
with opposition from the city administra-
ton Yesterday Tenement House Commits
sioner Robert W. de Forest. Building Super
intendent Perez NJ. Stewart OF Manhattan
and William M Calder Of Brooklyn met u
committee representing the building in
terests in conference and an agreement
was reached that no objection would be
raised to bill permitting a seven-story
house to be erected, provided all the floors
were made fireproof and the staircases
and elevator and dumbwaiter shafts were
inclosed in fireproof walls,
such building would practically occupy
a class by itself, between the non-freproof
structure, which may n Ut exceed six stories,
and the completely freproof structure

VAN WYCKS AMBITION.
Hugh Mclaughlin May Get the Former
Justice Nominated TO Succeed Goodrich.

1t is Understood in political circles in
Brooklyn that former Supreme Court JUS
tice Augustus Van Wyck OF Brooklyn IL
anxious to resume his place on the bench
in the Second Judicial district as the sue
cessor of Justice W. W. Goodrich, who Ia
soon to retire. The Second judicial dis
trict includes Kings. Queens. Suffolk. Mas
sau Richmond. Orange, Westchester,
Rockland, Duchess and Putnam counties
As Justice Goodrich belongs to Kings county,
II Is generally agreed that his successor,
whether Republican or Democrat, will
come from tho same county. On the
Democratic side, besides former Justice
Van Wyck, the names Of ex-Judge Will
liam b. Hurd, ex-Surrogatc George B.
Abbott and Incorporation Counsel William
j. Carr are being discussed rs eligible for
the nomination.
Charles +. Murphy as the leader Of Tam
many Is interested in the selection OF this
judicial candidate, inasmuch az three
counties and part of another affected lie
within the city Of New York. 1t is said that
Mr. Murphy Is opposed to the choice of
former Justice Van WICK. as he believes
that his candidacy would seriously hurt
the city ticket. On the other hand, Hugh
Mclaughlin, who will virtually control
the nominating convention, is friendly to
Van Wyck, and doubtless would he pleased
to have him restored to his place on the
bench. from which he resigned a, Mr..
McIaughlin's request TO run for Governor
against Roosevelt in 1895 IL is said Mr.
Mclaughlin may insist in giving Van Wyck
the nomination, regardless Of the wishes
the Tammany managers.
