she received notice that she had been
selected for the position at Chautau-
qua. Her work at the Eastern assem-
bly, will bring her into contact with
many of the leading opponents of
Kindergarten work in the world and
it will be great aid to her should
she decide to continue the work of
teaching in the future.

CART IN A RUNAWAY.
Team Owned by B. Roehn Gives the People
of Prairie Avenue ~ Little Excitement.

Prairie avenue had wee bit Of
excitement this morning when the
team attached to the Ben Boehn
sprink1ing cart ran away. The driver
was not able to stop the team and in
short order they cantered over to
Prairie avenue and ran through the
city curb and into the lawn of E. r.
Head. The boy, who was driving the
team, was thrown from the wagon,
but fortunately he escaped without
serious injury. The greatest damage
was done to the lawn invaded by the

that nobody is seriously smirched. But
committee. it is bound to receive Gre
dence in the house and through the
country on account of the high stand
ing of the man who is at the head of it.
Representative Mccall has reputa
ton all his own in the house, earned
by years of faithful service and by in
dependent exercise of an honest judg-
ment. Mr.. Mccall is one of the men
who, though an undoubted partisan,
has never been suspected of slavish
subserviency to the party machine.
From the day he entered congress he
has never hesitated to vote against re-
publican measures which did not meet
his full approval.
Speaker Reed in his later years was
Massachusetts congressman. When Mr..
Mccall, alone of all his party asso-
ciates, voted against the resolution
precipitating the war with Spain, Reed.
who as speaker had to sit silent and
see the resolution go through, drew
him aside into the speakers room at
the close of the session and, closing the
door behind him, exclaimed with a
shadow of regret in his voice: Mccall,
how l envy you the luxury of that
vote!"
1t can be imagined that consistent
following out of such a policy has not
tended to make the Massachusetts, rep
resentative especially popular in his
own party however much he may be
respected, but the general willingness
on both sides of the house to accept
his conclusion in the pending inVesti-
cation shows that even an Independent
member of congress may have his uses.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1904-04-27

Broadway was to him country road on
which disagreeable men drove fast
horses GU. to low roadhouses, where
they drank so much whisky that they
drove back with difficulty. Mr.. Goelet
could see them from the famous old
"Goelet farm" Disseminated with his
street, he bought land on the East and
by humble tenements and by factories,
and worth about one-tenth as much as
the Broadway properties he scorned.
Still, the Goelets own a considerable
strip of land in the "fat part" of Fifth
avenue; theaters, hotels and shops pay
them tribute, and their land is nearly
all held on leasehold, SO that, if it brings
in but small percentage upon its value,
it is little trouble; and when the leases
fall in, the family fortunes will be much
augmented.
The Astor land operations began
later than the Goelets', and are of diff
ferent nature. The Astors not only own
land, but the buildings. They are the
greatest hotel owners in the world
They have half dozen theaters They
arc always ready to build new hotel
or theater for any enterprising man who
bids fair to make success as lessor
They are now building the great ST. Reg
is apartment house on Fifth avenue,
where you can pay $4,000 year rental
for rooms if you like and new big ho-
tel on Longacre square, which is to be
the Aston house uptown. And of course,
they own the Waldorf-Astoria. More
over, they own so many houses that they
don't. Insure them. 1t is cheaper to let
EN- burn when they feel like it, and re-
build out of the earnings

DullQ out tne CAPT.
toll along the contemplated plans and
that it will take several years to COM
plete the restoration.
The scheme is to carry out on the
east front of the capitol an addition
which will increase the accommoda-
lions by nearly one-third, but which,
in spite of its ambitious character, will
hardly affect the general appearance of
the structure SO that the average OBJ
server would notice the difference. The
addition will cover large part of the
plaza where crowds have gathered ev-
cry four years, time out of mind, to
see the newly elected president make
his inaugural address. The marble
facing will cover at last from view the
unsightiy stucco work of the older part
of the building and will bring the en-
tire front of the great structure into
perfect harmony and MAKE it in real
ity what it has long pretended to be,
the most beautiful and impressive pub
lic building in the world.
In the course of the improvement the
rotunda, now dingy and cheap in its
decorations, will be lined with rare
marbles, which will bring that also in
to harmony with the dignity of the
purpose of the capitol.

into MS claims OF
wealth and social standing, until Mr..
Goelet heard of the imposition and be-
gan chasing up the bogus Robert.
Mr.. Goelet is law student, and a
great swell. He is brother of the Ouch
ess of Roxburghe; grandson of the R.
7. Wilson's; nephew of Lady Herbert,
widow of the late British ambassador; of
Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt, and of Orme
Wilson. BY marriage he is related to
Mrs. Astor. Miss Whelen is sister of
Mrs. Craig Biddle, the daughter of a
Philadelphia banker. So there you are
Like most recent bridegrooms Of the
very rich set, Mr. Goelet is "o'er young
to marry yet" but that doesn't matter
when there is money. He is an enthusi-
astic automobilist, and has his record,
having run down a poor fellow who got
in his way while sprinting from Newport
to Cambridge to see a football game. The
victim did not die, and his injured feel
ings were of course assauged by a
check.

bered by building just good enough to
delay improvement.
That fire was wonderful spectacle.
whose like could have been seen no.
where else in the world-not even in
Chicago, because that once fire-swept
city now affords no such dangerous
group of rookeries in the heart of its
business section to menace it. The loss
on the old building and its contents was
not great; but at the height of the ex-
element the great "two mines" alarm
was sent out That meant that Chief
Croker wasn't taking any chances.
From high window watched the pro-
cession of fire-fghting apparatus 60
dashing down Broadway. In the first
five minutes more men and horses and
machines than the entire equipment Of
Baltimore or of Boston or of Chicago be-
fore the great fire in each of these cities
had gone dashing down the street. In
the end 30 engines, many of them pow
erful affairs, heavier and stronger than
most cities use, were pumping upon
mere blaze of perhaps 100000 proper
lions. There were ten trucks. There
were two great water towers not needed
at all in lsix-story buildings, but which
might have been needed 1t was spec
tacle.
Hugh Bonner, the retired chief of the
biggest fire department in the world,
still expects to see some day sad scene.
In the heart of the East side slums,
where still large number of old wooden
or wood-lined houses stand, with rear
tenements and all the disgraces of by
gone day, he looks to see great fire
break out under favoring circumstances
Of deep snow in the streets, high wind
to fan the flames and possibly some de-
lay, when an appalling loss of life may
result. Any second alarm south of
Grand street and east of Broadway al
ways set Hugh Bonner to fairly drown
ing out even comparatively insignifl-
cant blaze with engines.

In, the managers of the senate have set
out in good faith to carry that deter
mination into effect. The result is
speed in legislation which makes even
the old-timers about the halls of con-
gress open their eyes in surprise.
Legislation by unanimous consent
has long been regarded as one of the
peculiar prerogatives of the upper
branch of congress, but until the pres
ent session nobody fully realized to
what an extent it could be carried
when there was a general disposition
to abandon Washington to the discom-
forts of summer. Appropriation bills,
which ordinarily would take weeks for
consideration in committees and dis
cussion on the floor, have this time
taken hardly as many days, and there
has been no appearance of undue haste
or of mad eagerness to get through at
that.
