size of the city hall of New York and
are wondering how it is possible that
the enormous volume of official bust
ness which is inseparable from the
administration of a municipality of the
size and population of New York can

The puzzle is easily explained, how
ever by the fact that in reality only
a few departments of the city's admin

city hall. Many departments are
scattered all through the city and in
the Park Row building, alone 243
rooms are occupied by various de-

NEW YORK, Aug. o0.-The reported

given the newspapers and the members
Of select society welcome material
Tor gossip. The circumstances sur
rounding the affair. il correctly re-

the basis of the most sensational con-

their stories interesting. The authentic
facts in the dose are rather meag "A
short time ago it was reported that
jewelry valued at 100000 had mys-
teriously disappeared from one of the
most aristocratic mansions at Newport
The Pinkertons We're engaged to inves-
tlgate the matter and they sent out a
description or the missing jewelry. 1t
was stated at the time that the treas
ure disappeared in some mysterious
manner on the twentieth or twenty
first of June. A few days after the
description Of the supposedly stolen
jewels had been sent out and the
newspapers had discussed the facts of
the case, as given cat and their own
theories at great length. the statement
was given out that Mrs GoeIet had re-
covered her jewelry. or. rather. had
never been robbed. 1t was stated that,
on coming back to her town residence
in New York she discovered that the
jeWelry was safe and undisturbed in
the safe. The Inference was that Mrs.
GOelet had completely forgotten that
she mad left her jewelry at home, when
she started for Newport to attend the
wedding Of her son to Miss Whelan.
