NEW YORK NEWS LETTER

Now York, Sept. William Wal.

attracting unusual attention in the

cd also to inspect the new Astor
so,tment hotel at Broadway and
ventv-fifth street. He also paid a

Laham Court apartments, which cover

9Th street. These three Astor struc-
res were built to discount the cur
Int readjustments of population cen
les. They were not undertaken as ex.
briments, for Mr.. Astor never tries
kperiments with his real estate prop
ties. They were the result of estab-
shed new conditions. They were not
rejected until the financial success of
he operations had been assured with
lathematical certainty. But Mr.

Inside the purely financial aspect of

Friends of Al Adams, the policy
king, are preparing to give him rous-
ing welcome when he is released from
Sing Sing early next month. Mr..
Adams is said to have added several
hundred thousand dollars to his for
tune since he was put behind the bars
for robbing the poor of their pennies.
During the past few months he has
been busily directing financial affairs
in which he is interested outside of the
prison, and has made numerous deals
in real estate and bonds. He is said
to have an immense amount of bust
ness awaiting his release, but before
taking up active work again he will
make visit to Europe.

Competition in the laundry business
has grown so keen of late years that
in order to hold his trade almost every
laundryman has to offer greater accom-
dations continually. One of the West
Side laundries now advertises that it
will "mend hannels and darn socks
free" Since the adoption of this plan
the laundry has increased its business
wonderfully. The scheme was to catch
the trade of unmarried young men, but
busy housewives were quick to see the
advantage of such a plan.

New Workers are still patiently
awaiting the opening of the under
ground rapid transit system. The
power plant is in running order and
apparently all that remains is for the
train crews to learn their business
thoroughly. Practice trains are being
operated from the city hall station to
upper Harlem and it really begins to
look as though the road will be opened
to the public before the snow flies.

Although congested conditions of
population are reported in many Har-
lem districts as result of the influx
from the lower East Side, it is becom-
ing more apparent that the most ur-
gent demand for new houses comes
from the better middle classes who do
not belong to the lower East Side peo-
pie. The middle class is being gradu-
ally but persistently forced out of
Manhattan. 1t refuses to live in pro-
miscuous tenements, and as there is no
satisfactory provision within means in
Manhattan, the movement is toward
the outlying boroughs and to the near
er Jersey settlements.

The rate Of suicide by carbolic acid
has increased from 81 per cent Of
males and AZ per cent of females in
1902 to 80 per cent of males and So
per cent of females. Taking cogni
zance of the epidemic, Health Commits
sioner Darlington has amended his
code to forbid the sale of carbolic acid
or phenol, to any person without a
physicians prescription. In spite of
the fact that the death is violent and
excessively painful, it has come to be
the preferred method of suicide, espe.
cially among women, and mere school
girls have been known to take car
bolic acid on mere impulse.
