Mourners Locate Perfume on Corpse
but In Reality 1t Exudes From
Minister'S Head
Special to The Herald.


PITTSBURG, June 5.-The fondness
of certain well known minister of the
gospel for hair oil and shiny locks
caused MIN considerable embarraSS-
ment recently and threw crowd of
mourners into confusion. vanity of
Vanities," saith the preacher, "all is
vanity" but the text did not prevent
the hilltop preacher from Sticking his
hair for the funeral of a German who
had passed into the Great Beyond.
The minister in preparing his toilet
for the occasion decided he would have
his hair trimmed. His friend the bar
ber suggested that little new hair oil
would be beneficial to his head. and as
a result the preacher appeared at the
house of mourning sleek and shiny.
Seating himself beside the easket he
awaited the coming of the hour of
service Friend after friend of the fam
lily passed on the other side of the cof-
fin, looking at the deceased. Nothing
especial occurred until two elrerlS
German women entered the room and
slowly made their way to the casket
For moment the foremost gazed with
sorrow, but her sorrow turned to as
tonishment. She shifted and gave vent
| to several expressions
The minister awoke from the contem-
plation Of his text and realized to his
| CONSERVATION that the friends In sorrow
failed TO distinguish between the EN-
balmed corpse and the hair oil. Upor
going home he promptly washed out
the hair oil and that barber has his
custom no more.

NEW SKYSCRAPER ON

Special to The Herald,

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 5.-Wall street Is
to have new skyscraper which VIII
have the distinction of occupying the
most valuable plot of ground in the
world. This is located at the southwest
corner of Broadway and Wall street,
opposite Trinity church. 1t VIII be put
up by a st. Louis company at cost
of $500, 900 and will be ready Tor occu-
pancy about January l, 1907.
The new skyscraper will be one Of the
most remarkable buildings ever con-
structed. Although it will rise to a
height of 220 feet the foundations VIII
be only 30xS9 feet. This Is the tallest
building ever put up on so small a base,
and architects have had to give par
ticular attention to utilizing every inch
of space and to braclnB the structure
against wind.
The interior of the new building will
be of steel and bronze finish, but there
will be no attempt at ornamention. In
stead of embellishments, the architects
have been bent upon making the struc-
ture absolutely fireproof. Tenants
/ could not be secured for such build
| ing, which Is scarcely more than huge
nue. unless the danger from fire was
eliminat ted. This has been done by
specifying that the steel frame shall be
| thoroughly protected by hollow tile.
Every BEAM girder and column Is to be
surrounded by this unburnable mate
rial. Hollow tile is also to be used for
all floors and partitions. This Is the
TYPE of construction that so successfully
lwithstood both fire and earthquake In
the recent disaster at San Francisco.
Among other features will be the
three high-power elevators, so inelosed
that passengers will not disturb the
privacy of Offices as they go up and
down. Each floor win contain but one
office. into which the elevators Will
open directly.
The price paid for the 1170 square feet
that comprise the site of the new sky
scraper was 100000. This figures out
at about $500 per square foot or s4.1b
per square inch. In other words this
means a value per acre OF $26,O51 ,A2.4
EARLY in the eighteenth century this
piece of property was sold for S5l5. BY
