Shoes for Which
$1,000 a Pair Is Paid.
A Physician Cobbler Who Has
Stuck to His Last to Some
Purpose.

Shoes selling at $1,000 a pair are the pro-
duct Of a factory in New York.
To style It a shop would be to insult the
artisans employed therein.
They call It a "footgear institute" and
the proprietor goes by no less a title than
curative o~rthopedist."
The wearing of these $1,000 shoes is In
the main. a hobby, and Is based on nerves
gone wrong.
For there are some persons, It seems.
who are plagued with sensitive nerves in
their feet which ache so excrusiatingly
that nothing can assuage the pain but
shoes prescribed" by a physician-cobbler.
The learned cobbler listens to a tale Of
the ache. with attending nervous disturb
ances and examines the patients feet with
critical scrutiny.
Every hill and dale Of the foot is In
spected and studied, and especially is a
sharp lookout kept for the sensitive
nerves. which ultimately are sure to be
found.
A volume Of notes is taken and the pros
pective customer naturally becomes i'm
pressed with the severity of his ailment.
Next, and what is very important. a
plaster cast of the foot is taken. and IL
the patients purse is proportioned to his
plant the physician-cobbler is apt to en-
ter q new order In his book.

employ additional assistants.
The revival of the high heel for women,
with its attendant train of nervous dis
orders. has suggested to him a new and
profitable field.
The only thing that perplexes him is
whether lovely woman will purchase 1900
pedal p%ain-killers that make her feet look
anything but fairylike.
But the cobble is a man Of genius, and
- awaits the issue with serenity.

by Andrew J. Sullivan. the new second
assistant chief Of the Fire Department
In the light OF recent promotions in

cial interest The attorney for the de-
fense claims that Horrigan came to Sui
livan and. as friend. suggested that
he become a candidate for the position
to which Chief Belt has just been ap-
pointed.
Sullivan was loath to make a trial,
believing that others of higher rank in
the service would have better chance
than he. Horrigan told Sullivan that
his splendid record and Horrigan's in
fiuence in Congress assured success.
Thus Sullivan was persuaded 20 visit
first Mr.. Duffy and then Mr. Garrett. to
present his qualifications for the office.
Mr.. Garret. who. IS Is alleged. is pri-
vate secretary TO a Southern Senator,
was confident OF success.
In day or two. II is alleged by the
defense. after the visit TO 'the in
fuence." Horrigan reported 10 Sullivan
that the appointment could be procured
on the payment OF $3.50. Then and ther-.
the defense claims. Sullivan Immediate
ly disclaimed all desire for the posi-
tion. and emphaticalIy stated there hal
never been an intimation that a man
cial consideration was desired or would
pass.
Horrigan claims, however, that at
the request of Mr.. Sullivan he put up
his personal check for $50 as a FIRST
payment to the lobbyists. or the parties,
whoever they were. interested directly
in pushing the appointment.
After the talk concerning compenss =
tioH, all friendly relations were declared
off, II is alleged. Mr.. Horrigan there
u7on, in due season. entered suit against
Mr.. Sullivan for the $50 claimed to have
been dlsbursed on his verbal order.

INDIANA TO CAST
VOTE FOR FAIRBANKS
Plans on Foot to Honor Her Pa
vorite Son."

That Indiana will cast a vote for her
favorite son. Senator Fairbanks. in the
next Republican national convention
seems to be the decision CT the leaders
of the Hoosier State This statement
was made today by the friends Of the
Senator.
The intention. however. at the pres
ent time Is to make the vote nothing
more than an honorary action, with an
intention of having the Senator become
full-fedged candidate in 1903. The
belief is strong in Indiana and some Of
the adjacent States that Senator Fair
banks can get the nomination five years
hence. It is said that Senator Hanna
has too many enemies to win the nomi
nation. even if he desires IL. and that
unless some other man develops ex
traordinary strength !n the next Ad
ministration there Is not likely TO be
anyone powerful enough 20 defeat him.
OF course. however. this is only the
view of Indiana and some OF the other
central Western States.
Representative j. A. Hemenway of
Indiana arrived in the city today. and
In discussing politics he said the Indi-
ana delegation would support President
Roosevelt and help re-elect him. AS TO
the position Of Senator Fairbanks. he
said there was no reason why he should
not get the vote referred 10.
I'VE are for Roosevelt. - said Mr. Hem
enway. "and believe there is no longer
any possible doubt OF his nominations
and election. State politics are quiet at
present. We have no choice for Vice
President. but we have a number OF
men who we think could hu the position
acceptably."
When asked II Governor Durbin. who
was recently in Washington, and who
held a conference with President Roose-
velt. would be a candidate for the Vice
Presidency ne said that Governor Dur
bin alone could answer that question
