STAGE "CHILDREN" FOUND
SMOKING BLACK CIGARS
MONTE COLLINS WoRsTED BY
TRAIN CONDUCTOR
Theatrical Manager in Hard Luck Tells
How He Attempted to Avoid Pay
ing Car Fare and How His Proteges
Spoiled the Plan

When Monte Collins, who with Nor
ma Wills, is playing a musical eX-
travaganza entitled THE New Peda-
gogue," at the Casino theater this
week, tried to outwit a conductor on a
train running between New York city
and Ossining, N. Y, he met with hard
task and as a result rolled into the
town of Ossining with only 75 cents
and band of Lilliputians on his hands
facing starvation.
Like nearly every aspirant to the
theatrical profession Collins, after
chasing the "will-o' the wisp," money,
failed to make good at home, suddenly
found himself hopelessly broke" So he
did nothing but wander around New
York city concocting schemes which he
hoped would place him on par with
his fellow actors who could boast of at
least one square meal per day.
This was in the early sos when the
Inhabitants of Llliput were much more
of a mystery than they are today. So
in the course of his wanderings about
the Empire city, the idea suddenly
came to Monte" that a trip up to Sing
Sing and the adjoining cities exhibit
ing a band of Lilliputians would be
about the most exciting sport that
could be introduced in that unsophisti-
Gated section of Knickerbocker state
and would net him returns in the geo.
metric ratio as he went from place to
place displaying his dwarfed wares.
"Monte's" idea also appealed to a
confidential friend who had consider
able more of the worlds goods than did
the unfortunate Monte" So Collins
grasped his opportunity and made a
gentle "touch" which netted him
enough to give his company first
class transport to the imaginary green
pastures up the Hudson.
When ideas ever took root in Monte"
they thrived so rapidly that new
branches began to appear before the
proper time and usually resulted in a
complete stunting of the growth for
the new manager of the dwarfs. So it
was this time.
What a deuced clever idea it would
be to dress my pigmy folk in childrens
attire and transport them at half fare,'
said "Monte" to himself and immedi-
ately put his mental production into
effect.
When but a short distance out of
New York city the conductor of the
train came through the car with per-
turbation written deep on his features.
He glanced anxiously about for
Monte" But Monte" had seen his
approach and was taking to the "tall
timber within the bounds of the coach
Say" said the conductor when the
latter rested his eyes on the manager
what kind of a game is this that you
are trying to play on me? You ship
your wares on half fare-children s
rates. and here when l pass through
the buffet ! find your leader of the
band with five Others playing poker
and all smoking strong black cigars
This isn't children at ALL You dig up
full fare or get off"
1t was too much for Monte" Not
desiring to add the cognomen "piker"
the other half of the fares. 1t left
Monte" with only IS cents when the
train pulled into Ossining, which he

GIVES IMPETUS TO
CITY ART COMMISSION
r. W. BLANCHARD is APPOINTED
TO POSITION
Mayor McAleer Selects President of
Broadway Boulevard Association to
Succeed Fielding ]. StiIson as Sec-
retary of Municipal Art Board

Mayor McAleer has nominated f. w.
Blanchard as q member Of the Munic-
ipal Art commission to succeed Field
ing j. Stilson, secretary of the COM
mission, whose term of office has eX-
pired. At the next meeting of the
council it is probable that the mayors
choice will be confirmed.
F. W. Blanchard, who is the owner
of Blanchard hall and is well known
as lover of art, music and other
aesthetic features, is president of the
Broadway Boulevard association and
as such has become famous as the
father of the ornamental street light
ing lamp proposition. He was the
originator of the movement to place
the ornamental lamp posts on Broad
way, from which the improvement as
sociations of Spring, Main, Hill, Ninth
and other streets have taken their
inspiration.
Owing to this fact some surprise
was expressed that the mayor should
have chosen Mr. Blanchard to fill Mr..
Stilson's place as the mayor has been
vigorously opposed to the ornamental
lamp posts since the inception of the
proposition and has vetoed every
measure providing for the posts that
has been placed before him.
His vetoes, however, have had lit
tie effect on the council as that body
has invariably unanimously passed
every ordinance of this nature over the
mayors negative.
Mr.. Blanchard has a reputation for
activity in the affairs in which he is
interested, and with him on the
Municipal Art commission it is ex-
pected that this body will spring into
renewed activity. This commission is
responsible for several features that
have beautified the city, but owing TO
the fact that it has held but one meet
ing during Mayor McAleer's term of
office, other commissions which are
compelled to hold their meetings every
week in order to care for the great
rush of business are inclined to treat

NEW PLAN MAY
HIT RESTAURANTS
G0THENBURG ORDINANCE TO
LIMIT NUMBER
Several Members Of Police Commission
Are Not In Favor Of Proposed sys-
tenn and They May Continue
to Grant Permits

One little item in the ordinance
which the Gothenburg committee has
so carefully prepared may make It
necessary to go over most of the work
of canvassing that has so far been
done and have new ordinances drawn
up. This is n clause relating to the
restaurant liquor licenses.
The ordinance demands that no more
than sixty restaurant licenses be is
sued, except in cases of hotels having
mt least 100 guest rooms. This clause
IN the ordinance was designed to cover
all restaurants now having licenses
but to make it impossible to issue
any more. According to the figures
of the secretary of the police COM
mission there now are II restaurant
liquor licenses outstanding, and only
eight of these are held by hotels hav-
ing the required number of guest
rooms making q surplus of three IL
censes which. If the ordinance is
passed. will probably have to be re-
voked.
Not only are there more licenses in
existence at the present time than the
Gothenburg committee has prepared
for, but to keep down to the limit
proposed in the ordinance. the police
commission can issue no more licenses
to restaurants, and as applications for
these licenses are made at every meet
ing Of the commission and there are
several meetings before the ordinance
can possibly be passed.
Several members of the commission
are not in sympathy with the move =
ment of the Gothenburg committee and
might not consider the possible ordi-
nance as binding on their action.
The committee has opened a Sec
ond office at 1875 East First street in
the district in which the canvassing
is now being done. DR.. George Camp
bell and A. NJ Mcclure are in charge
of the new Office, while Sutherland
Hutton still exercises supervision over
the work from the general offices i'll
the o. T. Johnson building. Forty can
vassers are in the field and the work
of securing signatures is progressing

ANXIOUS ABOUT DEER
GUIDES IN ADIRoNDACKS FEAR
ANOTHER HARD WINTER.
State That Large Numbers Of the
Animals Were Killed by Sever
ity Of the Last Two
Seasons.

Adirondack guides and the sports
men who hunt in the north woods
are hoping that the coming winter
viii not be- so hard on the deer as
the last Two seasons have been, re
ports the New York sun
one Of the guides in the Big Moose
district said last summer that
third of all the deer In that part Of
iGc hdIrondocks mad died OF exposure
and starvation during the last two
years. A Saranac guide who had
been mp in the northwest part of the
region during the winter said half the
deer there had died
This was probably an exlggcration,
though there is no doubt that the loss
was great. Man after man viii tell
you Of passing anywhere from two
or three to seven or eight dead ami
mails in single days crossing from
one point to another.
II may seem strange TO speak of
deer dying from exposure, but that,
added 70 their weakened condition due
TO lack of food. was actually what
killed hundreds of them.
In the winter they feed on any
green things which they can lind un-
der the snow, and also on the Young
est shoots of the hemlock trees. IL
there is heavy snow which lies long
on the ground they get along very
well. Tho snow protects the foliage
underneath It. and II IL is deep. with
a crust, the deer can feed on hemlock
shoots which they could not possibly
reach from the ground.
But IL II is bitter cold, with little
snow, there Is no protectic N for low
sprouts, and those which are not
quickly eaten freeze TO a worthless
condition. Then the deer eat all the
hemlock shoots within reach OF the
ground. After that they starve. AT
any rate, they become so weak that
they cannot bear what comes next.
A year ago II was no uncommon
thing for guides 10 see several deer
together each with a saddle OF snow
on its back The snow cakes must
have been there for some time, but the
animals had reached 80 low an ebb
of vitality that there was not enough
warmth in their bodies to melt the
snow.
There were heavy snowfalls during
these trying seasons, but they were
almost Immediately followed by a yio-
lent thaw or pouring rain, which in
freeze.
All through the Adlronhacl's guides
attempted to save the deer. They
felled hemlocks so that the animals
could browse on the branches which
had been out Of their reach. They
even scattered grain where deer were
in the habit of passing.
. At Big Moose lake when deer were
seen coming along the lcG men would
go out with sack OF grain and scat
ter il across the course the AMI
mails were taking. then get back out
OF the way.
In spite OF these efforts The deer
died by scores. A man came into BIS
Moose one day, having walked across
from one OF the logging camps, and
said that he had passed one nunch of
seven deer. aud he doubted II any OF
them lived through the day, II was
that way all through the mountains,
so that 1t is small wonder that con-
siderable anxiety is felt that the oom-
ing season should be a favorable one
for the herds.

japanese Dwarf Trees.

In Japan are some very remarkable
trees. They are hundreds of years
old and not hundred inches high.
The most marvellous collection is in
Count Okuma's garden, near Toxic.
Here are pine trees that started to
grow in the seventeenth century, that
at the dawn of the twentieth century
are not too large to be carried in one
hand, pot and all. Others, whose seed
was planted about the time when Co
lumbus sailed for America, are already
outstripped by saplings planted year
before last.
In another place is a grove of lili-
putian plum trees, gnarled and knotted
and twisted by centuries of wind and
weather, that are none of them too
large to grace a dinner table, as they
often do when in full bloom More
marvellous still, there are other little
trees, probably planted in the early
sixties" that are still thriving cit is
too much to say "growing") in a tea
cup, while others planted before Cleve-
lands last term in Office have not out
grown lady's thimble.
The Japanese are past masters in
the art of dwarfing trees. They nip
off the trees roots and pinch it's limbs
and starve it with little soil and let
it go thirsty and dry, but at the same
time keep the breath of life in it. un-
til it becomes the veriest travesty of
tree. a manikin vegetable, with the
wrinkled face of an old man on the
legs of a little boy. Infinite patience
and skill and time are given in order
to stunt and dwarf into these gro
tesque growths.
