Haunts of the Wicked.

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Downtown New York in the wee sma hours is a place to be summed by all righteous people. After midnight, when the crowds have deserted the streets in the vicinity of Park Row and the Bowery, the night hawks. foulsome beasts, crawl from their lairs and lay in wait. Of police men they seem to have but little dread i. but one policeman can be in only one place at a time. Woe to the unwary pedestrian who. ignorant of their haunts, falls into the clutches of these providers by night. If he resists when he is at tackled the chances are his resistance will be the last of his life, for the New York thug-the genuine article-knows no scruples murder comes easy to him as does robbery. 10 walk along the Bow cry at or 3 o'clock in the morning re- quires nerve. There can be found the half-doped "yegg," the swell gun" the dormant" lower order of thief. and rep resentatves of all the classes that go to complete the criminal directory. A strang- CT. no matter how poorly dressed, cannot walk three squares along Pork Row or the Bowery after midnight without being "maced' at least twice. And. from the observations of old New Workers it is best to stand the touch--else something may happen.

HUNTSVILLE SUFFERS
 FROM ELECTRIC STORM
Barns are Burned and Telephones and Telegraph are Put Out of
 Business for Time.

Huntsville, June 24.-tSpecial 1.-Two barns were burned, one residence dam aged, and the service of the telephone and telegraph companies seriously crip- pied yesterday afternoon late during an unusually violent electrical storm. The electrical display was accompanied by heavy rain, hail and wind and much dam- age was done.
 large barn belonging to w. P Me- Cary on Meridianville pike was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The loss was $1000. A big barn out on Pulaski pike went the same way, while the resi- dence of G. w. Mann, on Dallas avenue. was seriously damaged. Many telephones in the local exchange were burned out and service from Huntsville to the north was temporarily suspended by the Western Union as result of electrical disturb ance.

Londoners Dine at Cost of $50 for
 Each Participant

From the London Express.
 There seems to be no falling off In the practice of spending enormous sums in private society entertainments.
 The manager of one of the largest cater ing houses mas remarkable extravagances to cite
 "The cost of ball and at home suppers varies according to the season of the year." a representative of the firm said.
 "A leader of society gave small dinner party last winter which cost her $150 per head. exclusive of wine.
 Young green peas were valued at s1,s5 a spoonful and asparagus at S125 a stick. Peachfed Virginia hams. with brandy and champagne sauce, cost $250 plate. New potatoes were twenty-five cents each. The strawberries and peaches worked out at $15 per head"
 We have just sent in bill for S,95 to a hostess who gave dinner party" said the manager of West End firm of florists to an Express representative.
 That sum represents only the floral decorations, which consisted of pale pink roses and lilies s-of-the-valleY. The roses cost sixty cents for each bloom, and they were used not only on the table. but for massed effects on the staircase and rComs.''
 One evenings musical programme may cost anything from $l GOO 10 $4000
 Many hostesses pay first class artist from 5000 to S1500." said the representa- tive of a well known agency. '"rhe serv- ices of other performers must also be engaged so you can readily see that music is d very expensive item.a
 It is suggested that entertainment can be made, considerably cheaper and yet be seemingly extravagant.
 For instance. a talking machine can be hired for $l0 a night. and concealed in d bank of greenery. None of the guests would suspect it's presence until from Il bower of roses Patti's voice suddenly rang out in 'fNoi che sapete.' or Melba triled the vase aria from Romeo and Juliet" or Caruso pealed out in "Di quela pira."
 Why should not hostesses invest in the finest artificial flowers. which can be used again?' the superintendent of q char itable school of artificial flower makers asked
 We can produce most perfect speci- mems of the Caroline Testout' rose for which florists are charging sixty cents at twelve cents each
 'It Is impossible to detect these artih- cial flowers unless they are handled. es- pecially if arranged with real foliage. We scent the blossoms with rose per fume.
 We decorated dinner table last month with mignonette and yellow roses, with trails of real smilax and maidenhair fern. The hostess was asked how she obtained mignonette so early in the year. The flowers cost S375. and can be used on many occasions '

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Prof. Persons Makes Statement.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 You have done me the honor. several times of late, to make complimentary reference to my recent visit to West Point as member of the board of visitors to the military academy.
 Unintentionally, of course, several in- accuranees were recorded in these mo- tlces. whlcn with your permission, I beg to correct
 In the first place. I was not the only southerner as was stated to be so hon. ored the present year The list of mem bership also included the names of Sena- tor Blackburn of Kentucky, Congress- man Wiley of Montgomery and Col B. s. Johnson of Arkansas
 Again. it was stated that no other Ala bamian had been similarly honored dur ing the past twenty years. This. too. is an error During this period number of worthy Alabamians have been similar ly honored; among them, Hons. Thomas D Clark, Horace Stringfellow and r G. Caffey of Montgomery, Judge J. C. Rich ardson of Greenville, Col. T. C. McCoryey of the university and Senator Pettus of Selma. Perhaps others unknown to me at present. have been similarly honored. [ make this statement and ask it's publlca- ton. not only in justice to myself, but to these gentlemen.
 I am unwilling that my own selection for membership on this board. shall be accorded unmerlted notice and signifl- canoe. Very respectfully,
