10 DIVIDE NEW YORK.
Episcopal Diocese Has Grown to Be
UnwieIdY.

New York, March 16.-Announcement
has been made of a plan, division of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese of New
York which comprises at present the
boroughs of Richmond. Manhattan and
the Bronx of New York city, and the
counties of yYestchester, Putnam, Dutch
ess. Rockland, Orange, Sullivan and
Ulster.
The division proposed is the creation
of a new jurisdiction, with the borough
of the Bronx as its see city, and com
prising for the rest of it the counties Of
Westchester, Putnam and Duchess. The
other jurisdiction would keep Manhat-
tan the see city. Before such division
could be made, it is said that It would
be necessary to change the general law
of the Episcopal church forbidding the
division of a city.
Another measure New York church
men are said to favor asking the gen
eral convention to grant is permission
to elect suffrage bishops. This would
necessitate the repeal of a canon pro-
hibiting their election.

BOARDING HOUSE LIFE
AND HOW TO LIVE 1T.

Persons who live in boarding houses
run the risk of becoming very selfish.
1t is so easy to fall into the way of al
ways taking the most comfortable
chair. the incest helping of fruit. etc.
and of neglecting little politenesses to
others.
In a we'll managed house Of the kind
there is really not much to find fault
with and yet when two or three board
ers are chatting together q am sorry to
say that ladies are the most to blame in
this respect) how often one hears the
servants. the cooking. the furniture and
everything else in turn talked over and
condemned
It Is just bad habit. for these severe
critics would be quite ready to recon-
mend their much abused abode to any
of their friends seeking similar home.
Then there are the boarders who are
never punctuai for meals. yet expect the
dishes to be kept hot for them and are
most censorious If the tea is tepid and
the toast tough.
Another boarder to be avoided-and
this one is quite as often of the mascu-
line sex-constantly discourses about
his own ailments. giving you a list of
symptoms and repeating the doctors re-
marks.
Do not talk too much about anything,
but. on the other hand, do not cast a
/ emil over the rest u l4te company ~
| preserving an impenetrable silence all
through a meal.
I would ask the elderly gentleman to
bear these hints in mind. And to elder
| 1y ladies would suggest that they
should speak nicely to the servants.
/ who. If addressed in a kindly manner.
are usually quite ready to be accommo-
dating in the matter OF closed doors,
etc
To the young men I would say: Be
courteous to everybody. even to that
unprepossessing looking spinster in the
corner with more than a suspicion Of
! wig And to the girls: Do not fancy ev-
cry man who speaks civilly to you is
consequently enraptured by your
charms. You are all on the same foot

between sensible, self respecting young

IRON MARKET STRONG.
European Manufacturers Are Loaded
Up With Orders.

New York, March 16.-The European
position of iron and steel appears to be
gradually strengthening, cables the
London correspondent of the Tribune.
The German works, which for months
have been aggressive competitors for
the export business, are filled up with
orders for near deliveries, are refusing
fresh orders where shortness of time IS
the essence of the contract and have
further advanced prices. Since the be-
ginning of the year there has been a
fairly satisfactory upward movement
on the continent which is especially
marked in materials which are most
SOUGHT after by American BUYERS.

Months Taken to Prepare for Trade
That Lasts but Few Days.

The trade in st Parick's day but

for 1908, lasts only a few days. but it is
now SO widespread and in the aggregate
so considerable that the business of sup
plying it covers a period of four months
Twenty or thirty years ago a sprig
OF shamrock in the hat. or a bit of
green ribbon in the buttonhole might
suffice, but now the production of things
to be Worn on St Patricks day is a
branch OF trade. One New York con
Germ puts out this year 30 styles of St
Ratrlck's day goods and issues a special
circular concerning them. And novel
ties in these things are now being ad-
ded every year, though it would seem as
though the assortment must now be
complete.
The goods offered include various
styles of buttons. some showing both
the Irish and the American flags, and
some the shamrock. There are irish and
American silk bows with q. stick pin at
tached, there are pipes, miniature pipes
some with Tiny crossed Irish and Amer
lean flags, and some with q crossed bow
Of green ribbon, each pipe mounted on d
stickpin.
And there are little irish flags and
badges and rosettes, and green silk bows
with shamrocks. And there are. of
course. many STYLES of shamrocks. some
of these of metal. some of metal and
enamel. and some of wire and silk.
In fact. there is no end to the St
FaWlcks day goods, and some Of them
are very tasteful and pretty things, and
they are produced nowadays at whole
sale marvelously cheap and there are
now sold many millions of them every
year.

END Is NOT YET.
Another Turn in the Webb ranner
Litigation.

Litigation.
And the end of the Webb-Nichols-
Branner- Hazen litigation is not yet!
The lawyers have got new grip on
affairs and the trouble has broken out
anew, this time in the district court of
Douglas county, and already an appeal
has been taken to the supreme court.
Douglas county is the center of the liti-
cation this time Shawnee and Jackson
counties have both accumulated a var
led assortment of court records from the
numerous suits growing out of this liti-
cation. Now it is Douglas county's
turn.
This suit which was today appealed
to the supreme court was an application
for an injunction, brought by the Klein
heirs, Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Nichols,
against W. r. Hazen, to keep him from
bringing a varied assortment of suits
against the tenants of the Branner
building on Kansas avenue between
Fifth street and Kansas avenue. for
rents already paid to the receiver ap-
pointed by the district court of Jackson
county and to the Klein heirs. The pc
tition sets forth that Mrs Nichols and
Mrs Webb are in possession of the
building. but that w r. Hazen secured a
quit claim deed from John Branner to
the building. and that he has demanded
that the tenants pay their rent to him.
and that he has brought a number Of
suits in the district court of Douglas
county against some of the tenants for
rent already paid and threatens to
bring suits against the other II. Keller
& Hite, as attorneys for the Klein heirs,
ask for an Injunction against multi
plicity of suits but the district court of
Douglas county denied the applica ton
Now the application has been appealed
