came to halt he hastened away from
the American as if he might be dan

the ship, however, where they were
properly introduced At first the
Briton fought shy, but later he became
quite companionable. On the second

Dolan privately about something.

There are some pleasant things to
contemplate in New York, and on GER
tain days one of these pleasant things
is Yale Dolan.
Yale Dolan is a rich young Philadel-
phian. the son of a multi-millionaire
trolley magnate. He separates his
time into three grand divisions, one of
which he spends in Philadelphia, one
abroad" and one in New York.
When he was abroad" the last time
he found himself in the same railway
compartment, travelling from London
to Liverpool to take ship home, with
naughty waxed-mustached Briton, pos
sibly duke on his way to America
after an heiress. Dolan sized up his
man, looked out of the window and
then addressed the Briton.
Funny thing out there" he said,
genially. "All the gazaboos seem to
have wings, and there are great
many more gacook's than l ever saw
before"
The Briton merely pulled his waxed
mustache and looked straight through
Dolan, without cracking smile. That
was what Dolan expected, and he
relapsed into silence. Ha.f an hour
later he looked out of the window.

BATTLES IN ICY WATERS.
New Yorker Takes Daily Plunge No
Matter the Temperature,

Prof. Sugarman of Little Falls, N.
Y, takes daily winter baths in the
Mohawk river. He has not missed a
day this winter, although the tempera-
ture of the past week lowered at 18
to 30 degrees below zero. He says
he has been greatly benefited by his
icy baths. Since he began taking
these arctic plunges he is no longer
troubled, he says, with colds in the
head or with catarrh. At present he
is obliged to cut the ice to get into
the water. He wears summer cloth
ing, disdaining mufflers and overcoats,
and seems to thrive on exposure to
cold that would kill the average man.

PIatt Changes Headquarters.

After living for over twenty-five
wears in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New
York, Senator Platt has moved to the
Waldorf Astoria. The senator says
he makes the change "for business
and religious reasons" but declines to
be more specific. Some politicians
think that perhaps Mrs. Platt prefers
the uptown hostelry, there being more
life and color in the surroundings
than in the older establishment. 9th
