NEW YORK CITY. Oct. 24.-Anoth-
or thing of interest to the sight-seer
in New York has been added to the
already long list, namely the Verdi
monument, presented to the city by
the local Italian civil and military So
cieties. 1t stands ir Sherman Square,
Broadway and Sevepty-second street
II represents the great composer sur
rounded by four figures from his most
famous operas, Aida" "Otello,"
"Falstaff," and Fora del Distino." 1t

Ways of the Four Hundred.
When James H. Smith, Americas
richest bachelor, married the ex-wife
of Rhinelander Stewart, 1t was thought
that they would reside abroad; but
they have decided to return to the
scenes of their former social triumphs,
regardless of the feelings of poor Mr..
Stewart. But that State of affairs is
so common in the fashionable set that
| suppose divorced husbands and
wives learn to meet with the greatest
eouanimity. / am thankful that /
do not belong to the Four Hundred for
| should always be committing some
such faux pas as introducing a d.
vorcee who has REMARKED to her for
mer lord and master. Well, anyway,
Mrs. Smith is bringing back with her
some of the most magnificent dia-
monds-the gift of her new spouse
ever seen in the metropolis, and that
means volumes. | should like to be
at the opera the night she wears the
diamond serpents with eyes of pig
con blood rubies that coil around her
arms seven times, and the diamond
dos collar seven strands deep from
which depends a yoke of the same pre-
cous stones, consisting of fourteen
strands. The value of these jewels
is 100000.
Father and Son Differ.
The Gaewar of Baroda who visited
us last spring aroused the indigna-
ton of American feplininity by declar
ing on the eve of his departure that
there were no beautiful women in
this country. His son, who stopped
here en- route to Harvard a few days
ago, is Of the oppo3ite opinion, He
has just completed a course at Har-
row. England 1t is easy to see that
he will be popular with all the col
lege widows"

The Bronx Zoo has been very proud
of the fact that it possessed a Cali
fornia condor, a species of bird that
is almost extinct few days ago a
visitor who possesses peculiar ideas
of the fitness of things or of what con-
stiuutes fun fed this rara avis a rub
Der band, and it is ow dead 1t was
valued at 5000.
500 School Msvms Coming.
Alfred Moseley, an English phil
anthropist, who will pay the expen-
SEES of 500 British school teachers to
the United States in order that they
may study AmericaE scholastic meth
DDS, is now in the city. He thinks
the American systerq superior to the
English in its practicality, but he be-
lieves we do not pay our instructors
enough, and do not pay sufficient at
tention to music. In his opinion
child should be taught by women
teachers up to the age of twelve, then
its education should be given over
to a male teacher.
Hotel for Working Women.
The local branch Of the Federation
OF Womens Clubs at meeting held
few days ago decided to establish
hotel for working women who earn

of from $3.50 to $37S per week. The
Mills Hotel. for meu, at which they
can obtain platable breakfasts and
dinners at fifteen and twenty-five
cents respectively, has proven sucf
a success that there is no reason why
