Not Bothered by Strike

The coal strike seems to bother
New Workers but little. There is no
possibility of a famine here, dealers
say, and the ultimate decision of the
operators and miners is, as conse-
quence, of but little moment to them.
1t is announced that there is sufficient
coal on hand in and near New York
to last all summer, for which period
the dealers say they can supply the
city and it's environments whether or
not there is a strike.

Red-Headed Women Defended

Mrs. Leslie Carter, the distinguished
actress, who is herself plentifully en-
dowed with hair that is as a living
flame for brightness. arises to defend
the retl-headed woman in the following
vigorous terms: THE theory that a
red-headed woman has fiery temper
is on level with that story that if
you saw white horse you would soon
see a red-headed woman; if you saw
a red-headed woman you would see a
white horse-a sort of endless chain in
red-headed women and white horses
There is nothing to it, and the sooner
the idea is expelled the better it will
be for the human race, because, as it
is now, a great many black-haired tar
tars are obtaining husbands under
false pretenses. After all is it any
serious accusation to say that women
with red hair are sudden and quick in
quarrel, since it must be admitted that
they are equally sudden in reconcile
alton? OF their anger and its results
it may be said that the falling out all
the more endears. Slow to anger is
slow in forgetting the original trou-
ble."

Power of Music

Nearly all the hospitals and institu-
tions for the insane in New York pro-
vide music as regular part of the
cure for bodily and mental ills. Music
is so much a pleasure that the fact
that it is a power, / believe I may
say the greatest in the universe, is
not considered says Lacek Baker the
musician and choirmaster. when a
man of such uncommon good sense
as Andrew Carnegie takes music. vary
ing from the organ bagpipe, daily in
practically unlimited quantities it is a
hopeful sign. ! therefore permit my
self to believe that at no distant date
the power of music will be appreciated
and utilized"

BrookIyn's Moral Sundays

Many of the clubs in Manhattan are
run Sundays as on any other day of
the week. but in Brooklyn it's different.
Enough of the Puritan spirit still re-
mains to keep the billiard and card
rooms closed. OF course, the members
resort to private rooms for their Sun
day bridge game, which is getting to
be Il necessity with Brooklyn club
men. Efforts have been made again
and again by the younger members in
what is perhaps the liveliest of clubs
across the bridge to have the billiard
and card rooms open on Sunday, but
the frowns of their elders have thus
far prevailed.

Bixby Gets There All Right

There is naturally chaos when a
circus moves bodily from its winter
quarters to the first stand. But the
coolest man in Madison Square garden
during the present turmoil is Bob
BXby, the head property man. He
moves about in a quiet way, issuing
orders to his Is assistants, talking
to this performer, explaining to that,
and never once losing his head. He
reminds one of Big Jim" Clarke, di-
rector of the department of public
charities of Pittsburg, at headquarters
during a heated campaign. BiXby
never seems to hurry. and one Won
ders how all the paraphernalia for the
big acts can be placed in one morning
after the show arrives in some small
town, but Bixby is invariably prompt,
and the management has never had
any kick coming. He studies each piece
of apparatus with view to its eXpedi-
ent handling later. Those performers
who watch the erection of their rig
ging, and whom he understands, he
answers courteOusly and those he cam
not understand he answers just the
same.

Not Much

Hitting a ball to beat the Dutch
But if he earned his bread that way
Would he then play at golf? Not
much.
For hours, he faced the tennis net,

But if that meant his living, would
He play lawn tennis? No, not much!
Throughout the night, at poker, he
Stacked up the chips, with easy touch.
If he were paid to buck the tig-

Plugging the ivory balls about,
Long time, his steady cue he'll clutch.
If salary were paid for this,
Would he find billiards fun? Not

Spring Rise in Stocks

1t has become a fixed idea in Wall
street that there must be a spring rise
in stocks this year. There seems to
be only one small doubt concerning it.
which is that it may be talked to
death before it gets started. There
is a tradition which calls emphatcally
for a spring rise in prices. The exist
ence of such a tradition is curious
enough, but it's survival Of countless
dsapp0intments is marvellous. The
market has never shown any respect
for the tradition.
An examination of it's record for the
last ten or fifteen years would prob
ably show that it's spring movements
have been as uncertain as its summer,
autumn or winter fluctuations, recalling
Mark Twains assertion that there is
one very unlucky month for specula-
tion and eleven others. A long time
ago some notable operator who hap
pened to be long of a big line of
stocks at springtime, and, no doubt
was worried about his commitments,
declared it unwise to sell stocks when
the sap runs up the tree. The saying
has been variously attributed to Daniel
Drew, Addison Cammack, Jay Gould
and ten or twenty others.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM; THINGS
OF GRAVE AND GAY MOMENT

Special Correspondence to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April flames II.
Breslin, widely known hotel man,
who had been for years identified with
properties in this city. Chicago. st.
Louis and other cities, died at his
apartments in the Hotel Wolcott the
other day. Breslin had been proprietor
of the Wizards hotel in Washington,
the Southern in St Louis. partner in
the Auditorium in Chicago, the Edge
mere in Edgemere, l.. l., and once
owned and operated the Manhattan
Beach. the Brighton Beach and the
Oriental hotels all at one and the same
time. He at one time owned the Gil
sey house when it was one of the stand
ard houses of New York. George r.
Stockham, formerly manager of the
Midland hotel in Kansas City, is the
manager of the Hotel Breslin in New
York. Here are some of the rules
Breslin once laid down for hotel
mans success:
Work
Don't grow old.
Keep good-natured.
Don't forget names and faces.
Stick to honest dealing.
Remember that cleanliness is next
to godliness.
Keep pace with the times if you can't
keep u little ahead of them.
Keep your old employees around you,
so that when old friends enter your
door they will feel as if they were get
ting back home

The warning tongs of Chinatown
buried their difficulties tonight behind
a 150-course dinner. For twenty years
the terror of the tongs has hovered

and the scandal of the respectable
merchants. But not until the judges

Francis Wilson's New Stunt

Can any of Francis Wilson's friends
imagine him spouting German-and
serious German at that? Well, that's
just what the comedian proposes to do
here in New York in the near future.
Since the present season has opened
Mr.. Wilson has been conducting the
members of his company through the
mazes of German reader. They have
made rapid progress, and this is what
he is going to do: Some afternoon
very soon Wilson and his company are
to meet on the Criterion stage and
each one is to have his or her part in
1.-The Mountain Climber" The curtain
will go up on an empty house and the
play will be read entirely in German.
There is to be no rehearsal and no
preparation, except the study the COM
pany is constantly at. Mr.. Wilson will
not divulge the date and no call will
be made until the night before the
German reading of the play. The stage
manager will keep record of all hesi-
tation in translating and all mistakes.
After it is over Mr.. Wilson will make
the punishment fit the crime.
