new york and the Bronx Will break
Previous Records.
New York. Feb. 13.-Plans fled in
the building departments in Manhat-
tan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. within
the last two months and statements Of
contractors in these borough5 indicate
that the year 1905 win break all rec
ords for building operations In Greater
New York. In each borough applica-
tons for building permits for Janu-
airy aggregate an outlay of more than
three times that represented by the
plans filed in January of the year be-
fore. In January. 1904, plans were
filed for SS buildings in Manhattan,
representing cost of s1,452,4Oo. The
corresponding figures for 1905 are 1877
buildings. representing cost Of 81
O5O,S5O.
In Brooklyn and the Bronx this ratio
Of increase in the general volume of
building is sustained, With the ex,
ception of few brick houses in Brook
lyn, nearly all of the added capital will
go into fiat buildings and tenements.
High grade dwellings in New York
have almost disappeared from the
books of the building department and
few sky scrapers are listed In the oper-
ations of the coming year. The largest
contractors speak of the coming ac-
tivity of the year as speculative build
ing" and say 1t would be confined very
largely TO the construction of flats and
tenements in localities now accessible
or soon to be made so by extension OF
the city's new transportation lines

Washington. Feb. iS.-Not In recent
years has the house witnessed such a

New York and Sullivan of Maasa-

their speeches caused the widest ex'

personalities Of the gravest character
and stirred the house ana aroused
among certain members feelings OF the
greatest indignation. Sullivan opened
the night and heaped upon Hearst a
TRADE OF denunciailon. He was In
tsrrnpted BY Hearst who accused him
with implication In murder. The af-
fair grew out OF recent discussions
over the freight rate question In the
house. when Sullivan inquired OF La

Cannon compelled the two men to de-

The speaker afterward allowed them
TO proceed. Sullivan concluded his
speech. The speaker noticing the
temper Of the house decided that the
accusations made by Hearst against
Sullivan were unparlIamentary because
calculated TO provoke disorder and dis

Immediately after the ruling Hearst

Men ought to know that:
"A woman seldom goes off in a
dead faint in a crowd composed entirely
of women.
AS long as a wife can keep her
husband proud of her there is no
danger of her losing him.
"A women who possesses the art of
dressing we'll, has the masculine
world at her mercy.
Women neither love or respect
men they can rule.
Young ladies love to be fattered
by young men even if they know they
don't mean word of it.
When your best girl candidly asks
you to tell her her faults always have
a business engagement handy that
will enable you to promptly do the
disappearing act.
"A young lady will scream in wild
dismay if a gentleman acquaintance
surprises her attired in high necked,
long-sleeved night robe, yet she will
calmly and smilingly walk into ball
room filled with strange men, clad in
a decolette gown that displays the
small of her back and with sleeves so
short they show her vaccination mark.
Girls will be girls and no one
wants them to be anything else.
What a mother calls blotches on
another girls face are beauty spots on
her own daughters countenance.
"A boy who often whines and
whimpers about carrying an armful
of wood, will carry an armful of girl
and act as though he likes it.
When a young man shows you a
young lady's picture you can always
tell whether it is his sister or not by
the anxiety he manifests to get it
back.
Man likes to see his wife look as
chic and sweet as she did when she
was his sweetheart.
A man can manage a girl after
marriage as we'll as before if he goes
at it in the same way.
Nothing makes a woman quite so
mad as to commence coaxing her
husband for new gown and find out
he has ordered it the day before she
said anything about it.
Girls do not like bald-headed
lovers. If woman wants husband
without hair she wants to do the re-
moving act herself.
"A woman is so unreasonable she
can't understand why it is any harder
work to roll lawn mower than it is
to roll ten pin balls.
"A grandmother who does not think
| her first grand child the finest baby
in the world, isn't worthy of being a
grandmother.
1t is curious how young mother
can see how her baby resembles so
many different people when its face
looks like piece of boiled corned
beef more than anything else.
Sweet girl graduates don't run the
world. If they did there wouldn't
be any muddy weather on commence
ment day, to soil their gowns.
If young ladies were dead sure
someone else would ask them whole
/ lot Of marriage offers would be re-
fused. -. A. -. a.. "a. -. a..
