Bought Many Drugs.

It was learned yesterday for the first
time that Carlton frequently received
packages of drugs from the Sanford
Doehm Chemical Company. Of Chicago.
No one but himself knew what was
the character of the contents.
Sailors on board the United States
ship Dolphin, on which Carlton was sta
toned while IN the navy. say they
cleaned cut his room or the boat after
he was transferred, and found several
bottles containing drugs
One CT them had few small white
pellets in II. On the label WAS the word
Poison" IN large black letters. It was
thought that Carlton used the pellets as
an an antiscptic or wash Believing the
contents of the bottles 10 be dangerous
If leG+ lying around aboard ship. the
sailors threw them away
Yesterday one Of the men who clean
ed off the shelves said he was always
suspicious Of Carlton. and believed he
was the kind Of a man who would in
vent rounda bout scheme to get MONEY.
The sailor also said he thought il
strange that Carlton should have such
bottles III his room.
Regret at not having saved the bot
ties was expressed by the sailor. who
said yesterday:
THAT man never spoke more than
two words to anybody on this ship

Men and Women.

The December number of Men and Wom- en Magazine is pervaded throughout with the genuine spirit of Christmas, consist ently carrying out the idea, which is ex- pressed in the beautiful and original cover by Otto Stemler
 Notable among the articles are Judge Edward J. Dempsey's "The Knell of Politi- cal Bosssm," and Will J. Donovans arti- cle on the Extravaganza of Congress. Judge Dempsey, mayor-elect of Cincinnati. is the man who defeated the notorious Cox machine. putting 1t overwhelmingly to rout He is sturdy exponent of hon est politics, having long since begun active reform work along the same lines as Roosevelt, Folk, Jerome, Weaver and oth- CT Americans with the right sort of patriotism. He is regs<ded as figure of national importance
 The fiction particularly breathes the spirit of Christmas, although in no sense the ordinary ''Christmas'' stories. How They Waited for Buddie." for instance, happened In the summer time. and there is nothing whatever in 1t about "one snowy Christmas Eve" It Is chock full of the real Christmas spirit nevertheless; and the same may be said of Anne Eliza beth O'Hare's Behind the Door of Hap piness," M. W. Laws "The Wayside Spring of Melody" Ida Alexanders Aunt Mima's Christmas Surprise" and Harry Irving Greenes Christmas Day at Camp

 The late Eugene Field, while on one of his lecturing tours, entered Philadel- phia one bright spring morning after that city had endured three days rain storm
 There was some delay at the bridge over the Schuylkill river and the humor- ist's attention was attracted by the tur- gid, coffee-colored stream flowing under heath. Tt reminded me so much of my own dear Chicago river" he afterwards explained. He placed a detaining hand on the arm of the colored porter, who was passing at the time, and inquired, in his languid tone if he were a resident of the Quaker City.
 "Yassir!" replied the important func- tionary, T was bon an raised yere. Yas- sir."

NEW YORK HOTELS.
There Are Today 54,4oo Hotel Rooms
 for the Public.

From the New York World.
 New York might seem to be growing into city of hotels There are today in New York exactly 136 hotels-that is, hotels of the larger class. There are, in addition to these, some hundreds of oth- CTS that aspire to take care of the tran eient public in a small way, but for the purpose of accuracy these little fellows are not included in the legitimate class.
 These 136 hotels have an average of 400 rooms each. Many of them have more than twice as many, and every new hotel is built for the accommodation of a larger number than its predecessor. This goes to show that the builders of hotels are well aware of the fact that they have all they can do to keep pace with the normal increase in the city's hotel population.
 With 400 rooms to each hotel now in operation in the city, it will be seen that there are today 54,4O0 hotel rooms availa- ble for the public. That is to say, the hotel population of New York, with all rooms filled, could be approximately 54, 400 persons. On the basis of the increase in tho hotel population for the last year. this number willsbe about doubled in the next twenty-five years and the city will

be supporting from day to day a tram sient population of about 160,000.
 At the present rate of increase in the number of hotels there will be no less than 3s6 first-class hotels in New York just twenty-five years hence, but the ex- pert statisticians will tell you that each years increase in number will be in ex- cess of the preceding one. and that the number of hotels is likely to be i've hun dred or more.
 The skyserapng hotel Is of compara- lively recent construction. For many years the transient public did not appear to take kindly to lodgings that were too far up toward the milky way, but latter ly all fear of skyscrapers has disappeared and now the public cannot get. high enough. fs-
 Incidentally, all of these hotel statistics are confined to the island of Manhattan. If all of the boroughs had been included there must have been very considerable change in the figures, for all of them support normal number of hostelries and take care of a good many thousands of persons who rely on them for at least a part of their lodging and living.

Town Topics.

Town Topics" comes at this Christmas season, In a form notable for its artistic and literary excellence. Illustrated with numerous drawings by well known Amer ican artists. with cover in colors design ed by the French artist, E. Lelong, this Holiday Number" with it's hundred pages is most attractive. Apart from the poetical contributions by Thomas Bailey A1drich. Bliss Carman and Clinton Scol- lard, whose names are a sufficient guar antee of delightful work. the contents present an array of writers prominent In their respective departments of literary work. Sir Gilbert Parker. the well known English novelist. has an important article on question deeply touching the future relations between England and the United States. He entities his essay, '"rhe Meet ing of the Waters
 The Hon. Andrew Montague, the gover- nor of Virginia, contributes a valuable resume of "The Year in Politics." preg- nant in suggestive thoughts. Some very interesting and timely suggestions are drawn by Rear Admiral Joseph B. Cough Ian and It. Col. W. w. Wotherspoon, re- spectively, in their articles on "The ear in the Navy" and "The Year in the Army"
 On the lighter side of literature the Baroness von Hutten has delightfully."- humorous tale in "The One Way Out" and Mrs. c. N. Williamson's story Her Ladyship of the Attic" possesses it's own peculiar charm. Two Women Grinding at the Mill'' is a strong story by Edna Kenton, "The Year In Society,"" "The Year in Literature" The Year in Art ''The Year in Sport" are essays by writers of authority in their respective subjects.
 A curiously interesting study is that given by Richard Fechheimer in his es- say on "The New Blood and Blue Blood" which deals with the effort made by va rious people to enter society successfully. The subject is treated somewhat person. ally and Is yet sociological study of some importance. A contribution in a much lighter vein is palmist's reading of the characters of several leading so- ciety women and men from their hands.
