pike TO the County.

CINCINNATI, March 3.-Turnpike deals
through which this county recently got
possession of all the toll roads within its
limits largely enga ged the attention to-day
Of the Senate committee that is investi-
eating Cincinnati and Hamilton county
affairs,
1t was shown that these transactions
were a source OF tremendous graft,scon-
sidering the total amount of money in
volved
The Warsaw and Cloves turnpike sold its
nine miles of road for about 5000, but
members of the company testified that
Attorney Charles F. Dole, who engineered
the deal for the company, got $2l 900 from
the county for the turnpike.
Ex-County Treasurer Tilden R. French
testified TO having. received |gratuitles~
one term as treasurer. These "gratuities,"
he had understood, although there had
never been any formal arrangement TO that
end that he knew of, were from bankers for
the use of county funds deposited in their
banks. The "%gratuities' always came to
him mysteriously in sealed envelopes.

LAST NIGHT WASTHE HAIL BOYS
The Palm Gar den Sees Them In brOadcIOth
LeMeIlcd Clerks Looking On.

The hall boy on parade loses little of the
dignity that distinguishes him land the
office boy) in the commanding and sta
tIlesque hours when he Is holding down his
job. There is one night in the year, how
ever. that the hall boy condescends to I'M
bend a bit and put himself in the category
of even the hotel guest who wants more
ice water than is usually required by the
average citizenNwho does not live in a hotel.
Last night was the hall boys night of
and he spent it at the Palm GardeI. with
his sweetheart or his wife. For the hall boy
is a very human creature notwithstanding
Y the severity of his manner when on duty.
When he gives his annual ball, as he did
last night, he calls himself officially the
Manhattan Young Mems Association.
Mostly he is a Manhattanese. The young
est of him is 10, and he is a Canadian OF
French extraction, Kenneth SOULS by
name,
More than seven eighths of the hall boys
are really hall men, and more than a quar-
ter of them are married and have little
hall BOYS and girls. James NJ. Lyons, the
floor manager Of the hall boys, said last
night that he did not think it would be
| proper to give the name of the Oldest hall
boy, but declared that he was somewhat
younger than Senator Morgan of Alabama
| and not as young as President Roosevelt,
John Mccormick, one of the young hall
boys with a reputation for activity, con-
fessed to forty. He kicked his heels with
the friskiness of a youngster. He arrived
before the elevator had become a fixed
institution and maybe that is the way he
acquired the frisky habit.
Toseea hall boy in evening dress might
be a shock to some folks who view him
merely in brass buttons, but last night
he carried his clothes sit he were poured
into them. He had persuaded many Of
the clerks of the hotels to attend the ball,
and the electric lights paled before the
iridescent studs which immemorial custom
requires all we'll regulated hotel clerks to
wear.
The cub reporter sent up to write a piece
about the hallboy timidly asked what the
duties of a hall boy were and was told:
ITO take care of the guests" The hall
boy has no day OF except the one on which
he holds his ball. His hours are COM
paratively easy, however, being six and
twelve on alternate days.

THREE OPERAS IN ONE DAY.
"Hansel und Gretel,' "Pagliacci" and
Lucia" at the Metropolitan.

Three operas were sung in two perform
ances yesterday at the Metropolitan Opera
House, and yet only two tenors and two
prima donnas appeared, One OF the after
noon operas had no tenor, and the prima
donna who sang IN it was heard also in the
other opera. Thus Il statement which
seemed to embody a remarkable fact 10
shown to be of the simplest kind.
The two operas sung IN the afternoon
were "Hansel und Gretel' and -Pagliacci.'
They were heard by an audience of huge
size. The rain descended and beat upon
the house, but it was founded on Caruso,
and hence it was great. OF course, Caruso
