In the old Hunt burying ground, at
Hunts Point, is the grave and monu-
ment of the American poet, Joseph
Rodman Drake. His resting place is
now threatened euriously enough by
the proposed opening Of Whittier
street through the plot, and the North
Side board Of trade is objecting
strongly to the deseeration. Those
who are protesting against the tearing
up of the plot declare that there are
few places Of such limited extent
about which cluster so many interest
ing and instructive historical reminis-
censes of the colonial and revolution
airy periods of our country. They as
sert that the obliteration or mutilation
of the old cemetery would be vandal-
ism of the worst kind and a disgrace
TO the city of New York. 1t certainly
seems somewhat ironical that the
name Of renowned Quaker poet
should be given to a public road, the
construction Of which would destroy
an old Quaker graveyard and injure a
brother poet s tomb.

He was baptized Cady Herrick, the

this didn't please his father. The lat.
ter thought that Cady might be soft
ened in Katy-and his child was big
bouncing boy. When the boy attained
few years his father told him to

New York, Sept. 3O.-Persons who
are invited to Georgian Court this
autumn may look forward to having
their palates tickled with all the
newest discoveries in the culinary
art, for Emile Lafarre, Mr.. George
Gould's chef, has just returned from
abroad and brought with him all
kinds of new and wonderful recipes.
According to Lafarre, Mr.. Gould
sends him abroad every year 80 that
be may keep his kitchen up to the
standard of those Of the best restaur-
ants Of the world. He has passed the
whole summer in an atmosphere Of
the culinary kind, renewing acquaint-
auces with old friends and trading re-
eipes. In London he saw NJ. Eseofiier,
who. as travelling Americans know,
presides over the cuisine Of the Carle-
ton. In Paris, Lafarre sampled the
latest dishes at Henry's and learned
their make up. The secrets of the
Ritz kitchen were laid bare to him.
The chefs at Paillard's, Chevillard's
and the Cafe Anglais received him
with open arms. But Lafarre, not
satisfied, went beyond Paris-to AK
les Bains, where the mysteries of the
kitchen Of the Cercle d'Aix were un-
folded; to Baden Baden, where he
tasted at the Hotel Stephanie the
best of French cooking with a Ger
man accent.

While the local Republican machine
has one wealthy young man of promi-
meats among its registered adherents,
Tammany has five, and in this lies
one Of the secrets Of Tammany's sue

many wants Is enthusiastic young

preferment and have income enough
10 lift them from the necessity of
making a living out Of politics.
How well the wigwam managers
have succeeded in this effort is shown

the late senator; Cambridge Living

The suggestion is made that there
be an improvement here in the form
of theatre tickets such as Charles
Frohman was introduced at the Duke
of York theatre in London. The tick
cts give the name Of the play, the
hour at which the performance be
gins and the side of the house-left
or right-on which the seat will be
foound. Mr.. Frohman s name is also
printed on the tickets, as well as the
name Of the author Of the play. Next
year, it is predicted, the east of the
play will be given on the back of the
tickets. -One theatre in New York
now has the hour of the performance
printed ON its tickets, and it is be
lieved that the innovation made in
London win be adopted here.
