Man in TN, Real Estate once.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-,Sir: Just to show
you and o. T. Taylor how silly land uselcss
some men can be / will give you an Illustration
from a recent Incident in a real estate Office.
Mrs. A. rents o desirable apartment In a good
neighborhood: pays rent a week befole> moving in;
two days before moving she calls tho real estate
agent up on the telephone and inquiries what gas
company supplies the house with gas: is promptly
informed by agent that the A. b. c. Company sup
plies 1t. Mrs. A. goes to said company. is Informed
that that company supplies only one floor In the
house in question. Agent is called up once more,
and he finally admits that he really doesn't know
what gas company docs supply the newly rented
apartment. He does know by this time that three
different companies supply the house, but what
companies they are or which apartments they
supply Is quite out of his ken; and he adds in a
rather Injured tone: we cannot know all these
details aboutt the houses we rent; iti impossible"
fit is not an agents business 10 inform correctly
an incoming tenant as TO the highly necessary
details regarding light and cooking conveniences.
I should like to know what he is expected 10 do
beyond calling around on rent day for his money.
After much telephoning, letter whiting and run
ming around town on q hot day. II was discovered
that the d. F, F. Company supplied that apartment,
and II Is to be hoped that this agent has noted the
useful Information in his books, for the benefit of
the next tenant. Mr.. Taylor may see that even
Man, noble and almost omniscient Man. can be Just
as silly as woman In the real estate buslness-or for
that matter In any other occupation. MRS. A.

Mr.. H~AMMERsTErN Is a brave manager,
as his plans just made public show. He
will open his opera house on the night
when the annual horse show begins, a date
respected and avoided by his more super
~stitious colleagues.
Mr.. H~AMMERsTEfN puts his theatre into
direct rivalry with the Metropolitan Opera
House. 1t became known last spring that
Mr.. CoNRIEp intended to revive there next
winter AUBER's Fra Diavolo" and BEL
LrNI's Il Puritani." Mr.. H~AMMERsTRIN
will produce" both works next winter.
Only the Wagner operas in German will
remain the exclusive possession of the
older house.
Some time ago Mr.. CoNBIED decided to
bring out BERLIoz's l. Damnation de
Faust" in the absence of any new operas
20 well worth performance. He had also
planned to revive CLICKS "Armida." Both
are in Mr.. HAMMERsTEN's list. The
operate repertoire to which New Workers.
have been accustomed may be broadened
and enriched as a result of competition.
The impresario Of former years In New
York was never compelled to think OF what
his rival might do. He never had any COM
petition to struggle against. Now there
are two managers in the field the result is
bound to be for the good Of the public.

Drapers and Tailors.

The philosophers and ~philologers of
the Sdrtoridl Art journal have begun a
crusade to prevent the misuse Of the
English language on the lips and letter
heads of the men OF shears and needle.
Years ago, it seems, tailors called their
trade "a profession, as BARRIERS and prize
fighters are fond of doing, and some even
spoke of mans unmentionables as pants"
Happily, these practices have fallen into
disfavor. The tailor Of to-day refers to
himself as a tradesman, and fits brooches
or trousers to his customers. A great re-
form has been wrought. More remains
to be done, however, Thus the Journal
" Merchant tailors frequently speak about drap.

about their skill in cutting and hitting clothes 10

Says the Westminster Church Hasn't Sued
for Peace.
The Rev. John Lloyd Lee Of the West
minister Presbyterian Church. which has
been involved in a long wrangle with the
P~resbytery. made this statement yesterday:
] desire to correct a misleading statement
which appeared to-day to the effect that the
Westminste Presbyterian Church had applied
to be received into the Presbytery Of New
York.
Neither the Church nor I have applied to
be received into the Presbytery OF New York.
The resolution discussed in Presbytery on
Monday was the result Of a series Of con-
~ferences had by prominent members Of the
Presbytery Of New York representing the
peace party in the Presbytery and friends
Of the Westminster Presbyterian Church.
This resolution was offered in Presbytery
by the Rev. James G. Patterson, ID. d.. who
represents the peace party in the Presbytery
fully as much as he represents any interests
Of the Westminster Presbyterian Church.
Our position In this Chu rch is much stronger
than at any previous time. and that We will
surely win.
Notwithsta nding the above facts the West
m mister Presbyterian Church and j would be
ready for an honorable adjustment that would
give and. insure to this Church its rights
are not willing to be sacrifi ced at the will Of
q clique which happens to dominate the
Presbytery of New York, q nd We do not need
to be 30 sacrificed.

Wild Pigeons.

To THE Epiron OF The SUA-Sir' You say OF the
wild pigeon: From that to this, nearly three quar-
tiers OF Il century. there have been no pigeon flights,
and only rarely has a solitary one been seen, lonely
upon the wide ranges OF Its former abundance"
This is a mistake, even II Mr.. Burroughs Is respon-
sible for II. OF which l am In doubt,
In the spring oflS77 there was an immense "roost"
OF these birds In Cambria county. Pennsylvania,
on the South Fork OF the Conemaugh. the stream
that was responsible for the YOUNGSTOWN food. The
numbers were NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. almost any
one who was there al the time would say there
were millions OF them. In a ride OF two hours from
South Fork TO wllmore on the Pennsylvania Rail
road We saw flock after dock pass over us. one al
most always In sight. The Cocks would probably
average 5000. possibly twice as many.
Although have been much In the woods and
fields since, | do not thins that | have ever seen one
solitary pigeon since the day OF that ride.

Mr.. ADAMS would end the elective

TO he small colleges, like Brown, for
instance, IA we'll IA in ovorgrown in
situations like Harvard, he would deal

knot of students would pursue its studies
under immediate direction and advice.
The powers of observation and reflection
would be cultivated. Compulsory train
Ing would take the place Of the go-as-
you-please, happy-go-lucky fashion.
It will be noticed that Mr.. ADAMS, who
ran amuck against the classics some
twenty odd years ago, would now make
Latin or Greek a required study.
Many difficulties of endowment and
many prejudices lie in the way of the
foundation Of small colleges, constitu-

are sent to college nowadays, and that
the majority of them, pleasant fellows

his usual directness of mouldy traditions
and of bigwig dons.
There is a world of good sense in his
characterization of that curious, unde-
cided, unbalanced, mostly unmeritorious

LOST HIS BADGE AT ANTIETAM.
IS. Zielie" Last Heard OF When He was
Wounded at Fredericksburg.

ALBANY, June l2.-Gen. Arson G.. McCook
and State Historian Hugh Hastings are max
ing an effort to discover traoe of a soldier
who fought at Antietama and whose identif-
cation badge was picked up on the battle
field over forty years afterward in an excel
lent state Of preservation.
When the New York State Battlefield Com
mission wal at Antietam about two weeks
ago the official guide showed them the
badge, which had belonged to IS. Zielie,
Company +, 44th New York Volunteers"
as the inscription plainly showed. The
guide told the New Workers that the badge
had been dug up by a farm laborer
in 1902, whohad discovered it near the head
quarters OF Gen. Lee.
The Battle Of Antietam was fought Sen
TENDER II. 1852. The badge was bought
by Gen. McCook, who determined il possible
to see to il hat after the long lapse of years
it should fall into the hands Of the soldier
owner i he is living or some OF the members
Of his family.
The State records show that Zielie was
wounded at fredericksburg, which was
three months after the battle Of Antietam.
