OPENED TO PUBLIC
Some Distinguished People Are
Registered There.
RCH00L CHILDREN SUFFER
Many VIII Be Kept Out by Lack of
Seats. Pierpont Morgan Pre-
sents Collie to Central
Park-Gossip.
BY JOHN MARTHoL.

New York. September 1O-Hotel st.
Regis, just completed by the Astors, at
the corner of Fifty-fifth street and Fifth
avenue, was opened to the publ. last
Sunday, and more than two thousand
persons celebrated the occasion by din
ing In the magnifcently appointed dining
room and visited the various studios
which for months have caused so much
talk and comment in the press. Among
those who are registered as guests are
Senator and Mrs. chauncey NJ. Depew,
Mrs. Charles Sweeneyof Helena, Mont.
and Mr.. Henri Corton de Wharf, private
secretary to the king of Belgium, while
among the diners on the opening day
were Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Drake, and
Mrs. A. K. Minnock, a sister of Andrew
Carnegie. A large and curious crowd
who did not feel able to enjoy the lux
uries of the new hotel, stood along Fifth
avenue and watched the diners as they
alighted from their carriages. To this
crowd the lackeys and doormen dressed
In blue uniforms, literally covered with
gold braid, were as much objects of in
terest as the many magnifcently gowned
women and men in sombre evening dress.

KING EDWARD AND THEATRES.
Seems to Have Project for Giving
Then State Aid.

From the New York Tribune.
1t would seem as If King Edward had
in view a project of state aid for thea
tres in England. He has recently caused
his various embassies and legations
abroad to gather all the information pos
sible concerning the extent to which the
aires receive financial assistance from
the crown or from the government In
foreign lands, and the reports thus ODD
tanned are embodied in an interesting
blue book which Is being prepared Tor
the use Of parliament.
1t is known that King Edward, who,
for the last 40 years has been one OF the
most enthusiastic and powerful patrons
of the drama in England, has always been
of the opinion that the state should grant
subventions to at least one opera mouse
in London and one theatre run on the
lines of the Coincide Franchise In Paris,
or of the Burg theatre at Vienna, mold
ing that the outlay In Connection there
with would be of great advantage, educa-
tlonally speaking, to the people.
Since he has become king this idea has
taken a still stronger hold on him, and
Il Is hardly necessary to add that, with

his intimate friends interested In the
management of the Covent Garden OPP
era. endeayoring in the face of heavy

with a really good opera season, he has
been on every possible occasion encourage
ed in the view that he has adopted.
From the information received 1t would
appear that the United States and Eng
land are about the only two countries
of any Importance where no state aid Is
given either to music or TO the drama.

gard the theatres as means Of instructio>.

Schools Are Crowded.

The problem of furnishing sufficient
slttings for the public school children in
this city is serious one, for in spite of
liberal appropriations by the board of
aldermen and the efforts of the board of
educatioin to provide new buildings the
fact remains that nearly 100, 900 children
IN this gerat city must go without school
or only on part time for many months
and maybe years to come. The building
strikes nave for the second time within
two years been the most potent factor
IN the situation and this year 1t was
most unfortunate because had the strikes
been deferred two months a number of
buildings containing many additional
class rooms would have been completed
and the number of part time pupils ma
terlally reduced. Not until the opening
Oh tne tall term of 1905 is there any prob
ability of sufficient seats being provided
for the normal increase in the schools
and provision made for the part-time
pupils. The situation is not an encour-
aging one nor is it satisfactory to the
public.

A Useful Invention.

From the New York Mail
At a sportmans show in New York ons
of the novelties shown was portable
wireless telegraph apparatus which
could be carried in a hunters pack. 1t
attracted much attention from the WIS.,
itors.

said an old Maine guide. Suppose here's

Tribute to Dutch Smoker.

From the London Express.
To pay due reverence to the memory
or an ardent smoker named Understands,
who had died In Rotterdam, all his ola
