The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-09-20

the famous eating houses of Delmonico and Sherry. Within those spacious walls anything edible from ham sandwich to fricassed whale may be had upon order at any hour of the day or night" I sank back upon my cushions again. The idea of anybody eating on such day was repulsive to me and again drowsed. How long the nap lasted do not know, but when I emerged from the | comfortable arms of Morpheus the lec- | turer' was saying:
 | While the gentleman to the left with | the golf club over his shoulder, dressed | in Highland costume. is that we'll known | ibliophilanthropist. MT. Andrew Carne- gle. Not counting the accrued dividends of the past ten minutes, MT. Carnegie l is worth $9,563, ,432, 1923. .63. He owns twen- l ty-four residences in the United States, six in England and fifty-seven in Scot land, all fitted up with modern improve ments, gas, electric lights, steam heat | and a constant service of hot and cold l money running into his bathrooms, of which there are nineteen in each dwell ing"
 By jovew I cried, "this is the most l interesting trip about New York l ever | had" and started up to catch a glimpse of MT. Carnegie, but my attention was | immediately diverted by the continuance of the lecturer, and I missed him. 1 Directly ahead of you, leaning over a | sleeping policeman and vainly trying to arouse him, is our present Police Com missioner, General Andrew Hetty Green. | of whom you may have heard" contin- ued our guide.
 l It was natural that the lecturer should occasionally make a mistake with so much to point out, but such an error as this struck me as inexcusable, and I en- | deavored to correct him.
 "Hi. you up there!" I cried, Neither Andrew H. nor Hetty Green Is police commissioner. It's General Francis V. { Gr-"
 But he paid not the slightest attention, continuing his discourse as follows:
 Directly ahead sitting upon the fire hydrant twirling his mustache and throwing out his chest is the Hon. Will liam s. Devery our next Mayor. The hydrant upon which MT. Devery is sit ting is the original pump which he has | made famous and which has been trans ported from its corner in the Ninth ward to its present location by this company in order that its patrons may see one of the city's historic objects without hav- ing to drive through an inconvenient and somewhat sordid section of the town. Mir. Devery has been retained to sit here for this company twice a day, morning and afternoon. at large expense, the money he receives being devoted to ths uses of the Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to nti-Tammanyites."
 Isn't he a dear!" cried one of the la dies on top of the coach.
 Tt has been said that he is Doe. '' returned the lecturer, but nobody knows whether that's so or not outside the Dis trict Attorneys office."
 At this point the coach came to a standstill before a soda water stand. and we had five minutes in which to stretch our somewhat stiffened limbs. During the period of rest I endeavored to find Mir. Devery and have & few minutes chat with him on things in general, but he had disappeared. and. strangely enough. had taken his pump with him have since been informed that he never lets the latter out of his sight, owing to his unaccountable lack of confidence In the police force of this hour.
 When the horses had had their fill and the passengers were sufficiently limbered up to resume their tour with comfort we all clambered back upon the coach once more, the ladies and a gentleman to their coign of vantage on the roof my. self. surreptitiously to my private apart. ment below stairs, and our progress be- gan again. l was still drowsy and paid little heed to the lecturers words as we passed along millionaires' row on uppeI Fifth avenue; the home of the inventor of the Carrie Nation rve cent cigar dtt not interest me particularly and the pal. atial quarters of the Cosmopolitan Club which are maintained as a sort of asy, lum for retired buffers, valets and brass buttoned bellboys. have always had g rather saddening effect upon me; for the club is a beautiful place, and I never could understand why it's constitution should forbid it's members to make use of it occasionally. Hence, while all these beauties of art and nature were being dis. played I let my mind wander to other things, until on sudden, it was made alert again by the lecturers words:
 "In the automobile just passing you will see in the off hind seat Mir. Charles M. Schwab, President of the United States Steel Trust; alongside of him is Mir. Sam Parks, who is recently become famous by trying to stop the overpro- duction of skyscrapers in our midst; at the wheel and acting as chauffeur you see the Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of New York, and in the seat beside him the Hon. Charles F. Murphy, Grand High Sachem of Tammany Hall None of these geneltmen is on speaking terms with each other, but they have kindly consented to pass this coach at cer- tain hour each day for the entertainment of its patrons"
 The automobile whizzed by so rapidly that I was unable to verify the state- ments of the lecturer by personal obser- walton, but if all he said was correct, the group must have been edlfying to
