to matter much. The work goes OF
just the same. The Trinity twin is {,
stand across the court from the com
pleted structure and is TO be almost M
exact counterpart Of 1t. True, IL will
be born two years after, but it will b,
a twin I'm the point of general resem
blance.
Women Inventors
The old superstition that women d.
not possess the inventive faculty ha.
been pretty well exploded. 1t is true
that all kitchen utensils have beer
invented by men, yet in the field OF
business, and particularly i'm the ad-
Nertising business, women are doing
the best work today in New York. II
was woman who invented Jim
Dumps" and "Spotless Town" AM
other woman has recently devised Il
calendar. at the top of which she
placed large painted pansy. BY a
little sliding arrangement the pansy
pulled down reveals a pocket of court
plaster. Under the court plaster was
the legend, "Ill stick to you when
others cut you" Below was a space
for an advertisement. She took this
model to q brewing company. They
bought 1T ana paid her 500 for the
idea. Since then she has not worked
any more for Sc a week.
Chump Chariot to Go
The chump chariot or sightseeing
auto of New York is soon to become
an extinct monster. Commissioner
McAdoo has said it and beyond him
| there is no appeal. One of these huge
wagons killed an ambulance surgeon.
| This was the last straw. 1t gave Nc
Adoo the opportunity he has been
| looking for for over year, since he
I Ii
| "rubber-neck vans" He has hedged
them around with such traffic restric-
| tions as were in his power and now
hopes to drive them out entirely. DR..
BarstOw was the ambulance surgeon
who was killed. His ambulance, with
a maternity patient, was Fastening up
Twenty sixth street, when the auto,
back from II jaunt through Chinatown
by night, crashed into the rear end
DR.. Barstow was thrown on his head
and rendered unconscious. He was
put in cab and hurried to Roosevelt
hospital, dying on the way.
This Hotel Likes DOGS
The Ansonia hotel management has
10 objections to dogs, but it insists
upon the owners observing certain
rules. There is a special elevator upon
which dogs must be lifted down and
up. The management finds the pres
ence Of dogs Il pleasant as well as a
profitable phase of Ansonia life.
'They are no trouble whatever"
said one of the clerks. THE guests
keep them in the rooms. We have Il
special elevator for them. and the
guests who have no dogs are not an
noyed by either the sight or the sound
of them. You might stay-in the lobby
here all day and not see three dogs.

to the kitchen on the special elevator
and those in charge of them order
their meals
Tammany Is Twins
So much confusion exists as to the
Tanlmany society and the Tammany
Hall political organization that it
might be we'll to state that they are
two separate bodies. Tammany Hall
is to elect IA grand sachem next Mon
day. IT is understood that Mr.. Murphy
would like to have Robert b. Roose-
welt, Fisherman Bob the uncle of
President Roosevelt, become grand
sachem. Several efforts have been
made recently to bring forth Mr.
roosevelt as conspicuous factor in
Tammany affairs, but he has grace
fully eVaded all of them. He has been
member of the organization for gen
erat1ons, but he proudly announced
in the fall of 1904 that ''blood was
THICKER than water" and that he in
tended to vote for his Republican
nephew for president.
Jews Are Charitable
out of total income of 81 500. 900 for
the various organized Jewish charities
of New York city $G30O0O is contrib
uted by private individuals in regular
dues and donations. Of the balance
S%o,oOO comes from the municipality and
other sources not distinctly private OF
Jewish This might look like n small
average were it not stated that it il
larger in proportion than any other
religious organization gives up for the
same purpose. The Jews are liberal
giVers to all forms of charity. and
strange as it may seem to many. thev
pay out large sums yearly to Catholic
institutions.
The Telephone Monopoly
Almost every kind of public service
in New York is subject to competition
except the street car and the telephone.
The objection to a nickel for ride
Oh Il street car is not yet very loud,
but there is loud outcry
against the eXtortion of the telephone
company If you want to go west sud
NcliS anu require Deftn you often |
are obliged to call up New jersey. |
This means a 20-cent charge. Perhaps
you may be obliged to call up twice |
which means 40 cents. Not one out of
20 visitors neSlects to mention it.
New York Lends Money
Few people know that the state of
New York for over fifty years has been |
i'll the business of loaning out money |
Oh real estate and that there are com |
missioners in every county from whom |
the states money can he borrowed on |
good real estate security. Not much |
of this money is loaned in New York |
county, because the rate of interest |
on real estate loans is lower in New
York than in the rural counties. Out |
side the city the state has year by year
leaned out about $4,000 900 on real es-
tate. Since the white light of publicity |
has been thrown on these transactions |
the sum has gradually decreased Most |
OF these loans have had the graft taint |
uIon them, and now Il state official |
dares not favor friends. The new or
der is only year old. but it has been
considerably by the life In
surance investigation now i'm progress.
