Fifty eighth street theater, La Belle
Dazie,' the "erstwhile girl with the red

Tight fitting but scanty costume of orig
inal design, calculated to excite quite
the famous red mask by its impenetra-
bility. At the Casino one of the chief
features of 1.-THE Social Whirl" is
Blanche Deyo, an exceedingly pretty
and supple young woman who, unless
appearances are deceiVing, dances in
nothing but long and singularly airy
outer skirt and pair of equally long
black stockings. In THE Free Lance"
at the New Amsterdam, not the least
attractive member of the company is
Jeannette Lowrie, who sings the Goose
Girl song and who wears the tightest
pair of tights seen on Broadway in
generations. Oscar Hammerstein is to

One of the Press Agents
A diamond ring with coat of arms
on it and the initials III J. c." was
found yesterday In the body of Heidel-
burg. a royal Bengal tiger belonging to
Frank c, Bostok at Coney Island dur
ing an autopsy performed by veterin-
airy. The tiger was made sick by the
recent rough voyage from Paris and
died suddenly in great agony. Mr..
Bostok says he obtained the tiger two
years ago from his agent in Bombay
and that the big fellow was about seven
years old when he commenced to train
him for the Hendrickson act. His
theory is that some Englishman, prob
ably an army officer, was devoured by
the tiger while hunting big game

Special Correspondence of The Herald

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 2.-'"Living is
cheap in this town for some folk" said
the janitor of my apartments today.
During the summer months a good
sized portion of New Workers live on
the furniture vans. That lavish family
that lived on the second floor front for
the last four months moved out yester-
day, forgetting to pay the last three
months rent. L should have yelled '23'
long ago, but 1 certainly was slow get
ting next. You see, during the summer
all the babtail flush apartment houses
with the gay front and gladstone hall
ways give every new tenant the second
months rent free to take a chance on
the building not colapsing before the
builder could rattle it off to some con-
fiding person tired of losing money on
Standard Oil securities and owning an
ambition to turn his securities into
some permanent investment. With a
new building already full of tenants the
investment looks to an old real estate
hunter like a soft thing with stone
foundation. Well, there's any number
of people take advantage of that second
months free rent and then move, ana
get another second months rent free in
some other place."
Scarcity of Hose
There is a scarcity of hose-not of
the garden variety oh, dear, no, but or
those fine, cobwebby effects. If the
hosiery manufacturers who are IN con-
vention here are to be believed 1t Will
cost more to encase the neither eXtrem-
ity of the summer girl than heretofore.

Give Girls a Rest

Some of the department stores here
are good to their help. One of the
largest, commencing early in the sum
mer, sends from thirty to forty clerks
to the beach each week to rest and re-
cuperate without a penny of expense to
them.
The firm foots the bill. Not only are
they sent to the beaches and main
tanned there free from all expenses, but
their salaries go on at the store just
the same, The advantage of this can
readily be seen, as the girls return to
their posts healthy, vigorous and en-
thusiastic for their work. Another
store. instead of giving a weeks Vaca-
ton, closes all day ON Saturdays dur
ing the heated spell.

Chalk Line for Cops

Commissioner Bingham proposes, ac-
cording to the latest report, to take the
kinks out of every beat and make his
cops walk the chalk line. Every post,
it is said, is to be straight, so that the
copper may be within eye-shot of all
its territory from end to end. Under
present conditions the ground to be
covered may follow an avenue four
blocks and turn four blocks down a
side street. The advantages of such a
system are obvious. Cops are human
they get tired like ordinary mortals,
and pounding the sidewalks for eight
hours at a stretch is irksome not to
say monotonous. But the New York
cops are onto the game, and it's ten to
one that if the proposed system is
adopted they will have system of
codes and signals with their friends al
various points, so that they can take
an occasional rest and at the same time
be on the job when the rounds" come
around.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL ON TRIAL
Deposed President Expected to Aid
Government Inyes-

Stuyvesant Fish, former president OF
the Illinois Central railroad. was Ia
conference yesterday, first with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. who ordered the inves-
tigation Of the Hartman railroad sys-
tenn. and afterwRrd with Chairman
knapp. OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission. who will have charge Of
that investigation.
II has been expected for some time
that Mr.. Fish would place the Govern
rneht thorities in possession Of much
valuable information about the organ
iz8tiOn and methods OF the Hartman
system. Soon after he was deposed by
Hartman from the presidency Of the
Illinois Central. which he had success
fully managed for many years. Mr.. Fish
was quoted as declaring that IL the
Government wanted 10 go into the af-
fairs Of the Hartman interest. he
could help il.
Inquiry at Early Date.
During the holiday week the commits
sion will begin its hearings. probably in
New York. The work will be pushed
as fast as possible. The lawyers who
will have charge OF the inquiry are now
working in this city on the prelimina-
ries. Whether Mr.. Fish will appear az
the hearing and tell what he knows OF
the methods OF the Hartman group is
only to be conjectured. but the impress
sion after what took place yesterday
In Washington Is very strong that he
will be among the early witnesses.
Friends Are Ineensed.
The President Is said 20 have been
much incensed at the treatment &C
corded Mr. Fish BY President Harri-
man IN the Illinois Central anair. Chair
man Knapp. also an old friend OF Mr..
Fish. was likewise indignant on the
same account
After his visit at the Wh'ae House.
Mr.. Fish went to The Interstate Com
merce Commission Offices. While he
was locked Up with the chairman. at
tendants denied ali knowledge OF his
presence.
II is known. however. that while the
conference was being guarded tnus
carefully. the two gentlemen were IN
Chairman Knapps room. What was
said only they know, but there is little
doubt that it related IN the main to the
coming HsrrimaA inquiry.
