SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION.
Brooklyn's Costliest Home to Go
Under the Hammer

Brooklyn. March 10.-After more than
thirty years renown as the most costly
home in Brooklyn the old Clafiin man
sion, on Brooklyn Heights, will be sold
at public auction.
Since 1870 the stately house in Pierre
pont street has been one of the places
to be seen by all visitors. It was built
by Horace B. Cla1in, one of New York's
wealthiest merchants, and cost nearly
$500 900. No home in Brooklyn. it is
said, has ever been erected with so
much care, and none was so expensive
| " and luxuriously furnished. The
architecture is of the style of a genera
ton ago, with a spacious hall large
enough to make a roadway for q coach
and four.
The rooms on the three floors are all
very large and trimmed with the most
costly woods It is said that the black
walnut which prevails was selected
from all parts of the world and could
not be duplicated from the lumber yards
of the present day. The stair we'll is
capped by a huge dome, inlaid in stain
ed glass, that fills the interior with
tinted light.
For many years the house was the
envy of the fashionable world, but it's
master has been dead many years and
his descendants have sought other To-
calities for their abodes. Residents of
Brooklyn are curious to know who will
be its next owner.
The Leonard Moody company will
dispose of the mansion and its furnish
ings at the Real Estate Exchange.

that the man who does not think it
worth while to make a fight for the
office OF councilman is just the kind of
a man who would do the city the most
good in that position. There are sew
eral such men in the council now.
among whom might be mentioned S.
t. Howe of the Fifth. L. A Ryder of
the First and George Neil of the Third,
each of whom is a leader in his re-
spective department of the city council
work, and whose words on the floor of
the council always have weight. M.
Snattinger is another shrewd business
man who in the present impor tant
crisis of city affairs would be able to
give the city invaluable service. .
Mr.. Snattinger came to Topeka in
1869, and has made all his money here.
He was in business here for 80 years,
and every enterprise which he has
managed has been a business success.
He took charge of the old Brush. Elec-
trio Illuminating company when it was
on it's last legs, and pulled it out of
the hole. He got it on a money max
ing basis, after which the eastern own
ers sold it. He became president of
the Shawnee Building & Loan aSsocia-
ton IA years ago, and has developed
that institution to one of the strongest
of the kind in the west. If he will lend
to his city this same business talent
in its difficult problem of financial
management and city control of wa
terworks, it will be an opportunity
which the people of the Third ward
should not overlook.

INVENTED " VIENNA ROLL. -
Coney Islands Pioneer Baker Made q
Fortune by It.

New York, March 10.-Ignatz Frisch-
mann, SO years old. is dead at his home,
1872 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, after
a lingering illness. He was Coney is
lands pioneer baker, and the man who
invented the roll that made the frankfurt
ter famous at that resort.
Mr.. freshman was born in Austria,
and on his arrival in this country estab-
lished a baking business at the resort,
becoming the firm friend and supporter
of John Y; McKane. Even at that early
date the frankfGrter was an institution
at Coney Island The shrewd baker saw
a chance to make hit and invented the
long, narrow-and what has since be-
come very lean-Vienna roll These he sold
to the frankfurter men in small quaint
ties for a while and at a small profit,
until they became the only means by
which the frankfurter could be sold From
a daily sale of ten dozen during the rush
season, the industry rose to a maximum
sale of more than one hundred thousand
rolls a day last summer.
Mr. freshman was at one time rated
by Bradstreet as one of the wealthiest
men doing business at the resort. He is
survived by a widow and one son.

NAVY TO RANK SECOND.
Building Programme Puts
America Ahead of France.

Washington, March 10.-Within four
years the United States navy will be
the second most powerful navy in the
world. or at least so near it that even
the experts viii not be able to deter
mine which navy has the greater
actual effectiveness-th of the United
States or of France. PAPER estimates
of naval strength are not an exact or
mathematical science and expert
opinions often differ. But it is ap-
parent that at the end of 1908. when
the building programmes now under
way by the great powers are finished,
it Will be wholly a matter of guess
work as to whether the United States
or France is entitled to the honor of
standing second In actual prowess upon
the seas in fighting tonnage and effec-
tiVeneSS.
Thus it is seen that the American
policy, publicly declared the other day
In senate Debates to make the United
States navy rank next to that of Great
Britain, is much nearer realization
than most people had supposed In
fact, the rise of the American navy in
the scale of relative strength, it's pass
ing first one navy and then another in
the race until now it is a lively bidder
for second place. is one of the most
marvellous developments of the gene
ration. Twenty years ago the Ameri-
can navy was almost zero; it was a
subject of gibe and Jest Only six
years ago, when the Spanish American
war came on, it stood on paper sixth
or seventh among the worlds navies.
Today it is third. according to that
most excellent authority, Senator Hale.

naval affairs, and four years hence it
Will be a competitor for second place.
No wonder our foreign friends are
amazed at the rapid growth of the sea
power of the United States.

A rose of some ones yesterday
It fell from out the dusty book
That was by some one cast away
To lie in this forgotten nook.
And here's the rose A faded thing
With petals crumpled, torn and brown
What idle fancies may it bring?
Who took it up? Who flung it down?
One day a rare perfume it shed
When all its heart with dew was wet,
And it was blazing in its red
Some subtle scent clings to it yet
Perhaps it coaxed woman's smile;
Perhaps it drew anOther's froWn-
pledge of truth, gage of guile
Who took it up? Who flung 1t down?
Why was the flower hid away
A roseheart for this old romance?
Was it to mark an OIden day
A day when all was radiance2
Or was It in remembrance of
A grief that time refused to drownf
Does it tell coQuetry, or love?
Who took it up? Who flung it down?
It does not tell us anything
If some ones ardor waxed or waned;
Yet some faint memories must cling
Here where the yellowed page is stained.
Was she, a peasant, or a queen
With this red rose her only crOWn2
What is the tale the lines between?
Who took it up? Who flung it down?
A rose of some ones yesterday
A crumbling rose. So roses go
And we were wise if we could say
What all the withered roses know.
In what closed pages of our years
Is held a rose all dead and brown!
And who can tell when it appears,
Who took it up? Who flung it down?
