AdAmIess Edens Fail.
New York has two AdaInless Ddens, and
each by analogy has proved the other to
be a dismal failure. One is the Hotel Mar
tina Washington and the other is what
is known as the widows Settlement" In
the upper arm of the lake in Central park.
For long time rumors of discord, II not
actual war have reached the outside world
from the sacred precincts of the hotel
whose threshold few mere men dare to
cross. The trouble reached climax one
day last week when a stockholders meet
ing was called to consider the fact that,
whatever 1t may have been as theory,
the hotel had so far proved a prohtless
venture. Then arose divers guests who
are stockholders to the extent of not less
than one whole share of stock, and de-
clared that It was no wonder Such man
agement would ruin anything. they COM
planned. To say nothing of the absurdity
of refusing to serve wine jelly with the
Christmas dinner, just because 1t is tenn
perance hotel. 1t was positive shame to
charge for rolls when that is all one really
needs for breakfast, and the head waitress
was altogether too fat to be artistic, even
If she was efficient. Then, too, II was
simply impossible to get-well, certain in
teresting novels from the hotel library.
But when It came to the women bellhops.
they were the limit! There was no such
thing inducing one OF them to do a
little thing like tightening a few strings
or buttoning a waist up the back without
a tip. Up in his institution in Central
park Director Smith last summer had a
colony of 176 domestic ducks and only a
dozen brakes To be sure, the ducks don't
wear waists that button up the back, and
their creature comforts are looked after
by a mere man. But since they were put
into limited winter quarters a short timo
ago, there have been single combats and
battles royal which the old keeper declared
to be nothing more nor less than fight
| for a husband. So couple of dozen more
brakes were transferred to the lake and
the trouble has entirely disappeared
Blonde Types Disappearing.
OF all the weighty subjects discussed by
the savants of the American Association
! for the Advancement of Science, who for
| week have been holding forth at Co
| lumbia university. none attracted greater
attention than the talk Of Major G. E,
woodruff on the Disappearance of the
Blonde Types in America" Even the grey
| haired members sat up and took notice
| Not an eye closed to the end of the dis
cussion. According to the major, who has
made a close study of blondes Cunder what
| circumstances he did not state) there is TO
be slow disappearance of the type, which
| is to vanish entirely In about 600 years. It
was also argued, a fact which even a
| non-scientist can recognize, that blonde
women will be more and more sought as
they become scarcer. Major Woodruff holds
| out only scant hope that science may yet
discover some means Of transplanting pig
! ment into the skin, which controls the
| color Of the hair and the complexion; but
| it Is hard for New Workers to believe that
| in only coo years Lillian Russell's golden
| locks will have disappeared forever or
given place to tresses of dusky brown
