sal of the department of docks

 springer, a wealthy real estate
 ofoker. lie wants three of our sten-
 ographers on each boat. The terrors
 ot fog and ice are diminished when
 the typlsts and stenographers are
 there to do the work, so that a
 large share of the business mans days work is ready for the mail
 when he sets foot on the shores of
 Manhattan Island. It has even
 been suggested that the government place a substation postoffice on each boat, and that the privileges of a lunch counter be granted some
 body to serve passengers with breakfast, luncheon and supper. As great deal of time is lost to busi- ness men on the trips, which fre- quently occupy more than a half hour, the trip to Staten Island would no longer be scarecrow, but attractive.
 It is rather striking and signiti- cant that 22 of the largest hotels in the city. were the subjects of a strike of 300 porters was specially significant that the principal ground of complaint was the food served out to the servants of all kinds. In ,aany Of the restaurants and hot the waitresses and wait CTS have .o s',rreptlt;ously take food, and sometimes are discharS d for cooking themselves sGmethAs Some of them are almost starving while serving the most appetizing of eatables to patrons. There is a general complaint on the part of the hotel employees of the character of the food served out to them, al- ways secondhand scraps and some times even putrid, the -cast-off scraps that nobody could masticate. 1t must be the extent of the sub- lime that these walters have to smell and see and carry to guests food that in contrast to what they themselves are compelled to swal- low is as widely different as can be furnished on earth.

now wears her hair disappears and a stylish coiffure takes it's place. She is dressed simply in the picture. as. in- deed, she is on most occasions. Of course the lace collar she wears doubtless cost the proverbial pretty penny, and her frock probably is the best the German taxpayers money can buy. But the effect is one of girlish simplicity and pleasing. The kaiser- ein's gown seems equally plain at first glance, yet study the embroidery along the f1ounce and coller quickly reveals there is nothing cheap about it.

sThe Marcel wave," said the halrdresser, illustrates how cap- ariciously fate often bestows fame
 on man by giving his name as
 discovering something he never
 discovered. The wave which we
 know as the Marcel wave was in vented long before Marcel at his
 modest and not extraordinary shop
 In the Due de PEchelle began to
 use it. By then the wave was al-
 ready widely popular, Lantherio
 and the other hairdressers of Paris
 all practiciAg it and practically all
 the Parisian women of the world
 having taken to it. There was one
 olfhculty; the wave was graceful and lent an air of great distinction, an, yes, but it was so expensive, and, alas, lasted so short time. In a few hours at the most, the beau- tlful waves had collapsed to their natural limp lankness. Here was Marceps opportunity. He devised irons, method, trained attendants under his enterprising hands, then the wave was put into stay four or live days. Imagine the grati- tude Of the Parisiennes. To be kept enc i've days running, and that with one-fifth of the former trouble and expense. M. Marcel became the object of that gratitude. All Paris flocked to hin,-at least until other hairdressers could, more or less effectively, copy his method. How the women of other nations came, saw and demanded, you can ngure for yourselves. So the wave spread, carrying with it Marcel's methods and that giving his name to the wave,

1 The tree-planting association hoDes
 this year to plant many more trees
 than 1t did last yeast. The associa-
 ton has good balance on hand. but
 the planting of trees and their pro-
 lection cost, and the association l would like more members. Then too It mas it's eye on a part of the ESQ., ooo that was appropriated this year by the city for the care of trees in the city streets. The association feels that the amount is larger than will be lound necessary for the actual care of the trees now in the streets, and
 hopes to get part of the money to-
 ward the purchase of trees. The as-
 sociation has just sent out the annual
 report of it's officers. It contains many
 half-tone engravings to show how
 much better street looks when there
 are trees instead of simply asphalt, stone and brick. During the last year
 the shade trees committee spent about S1,5O0 setting out 150, twice as many
 as the year before. "The embellish- ment of the city by planting trees is financially profitable" declares Cor nelius B. Mitchell, 'the president of the association. Tt proved so in Paris, in Washington, in Cleveland, and in all other cites where the work has been carried on. Houses rent more readily in attractive streets than in bare look ing rows of stone and motor. What little objection was formerly raised to trees in our city streets is rapidly There are few gifts | that would be so beneficial to the masses of people in the tenement dis trict.' All sums contributed will be employed for that purpose, and the committee take entire charge in plant ing trees in designated localities, at cost of fifteen dollars each.

Leaders of New York society are
 looking up, and becoming more am
 bilious than they ever were before. They are scheming to have the kali ser's daughter to come over. They are hopeful that the little Princess Vic toria Louise will be permitted to come over to this country before she is married off to some snubnosed sover- eign or princeling. The princess is of the schoolgirl age, but she is ap- preaching young womanhood rapidly. Her newest photograph shows her sit- ting on the arm of her mothers chair with her youngest brother, Prince Joachim, standing beside the kaiserein on the other side. It is a simple home scene that doubtless makes a highly favorable impression on the kaiser's subjects, as it certainly does on German Americans. The princess is not pretty. but she has a good face. and it's impossible to say how she will look when the mane in which she

Death of A. A. Brackln.

Alex. A. Brackin died at the old

illness resulting from blood poison
which kept him confined to his bed
about three weeks. Mr.. Brackin
was the son of the late John A.

age He was the last of a family
Of four children, his sister, Miss
Della, having preceded him last.
Mr.. Brackin had been member
of the Methodist Church for many
years. He was quiet, reticent, al
ways respectful, man of strength
and courage, the very soul of
honor. He was for many years en-
gagged in farming and was known
as a good neighbor, kind and oblig-
ing and attentive to his business.
He was good man.

THE ATsle Of Spice. .

The fame of the isle of Spice
and it's gay ensemble had bee n
waited over the boards long before
its appearance in this city, and as
a result Reynolds Opera House was
dressed in its best and graced with
the most fashionable audience of
its career last Thursday night.
Moreover the pleasant anticipa-
tons of those present were not
dashed by the performance. The
inhabitants Of the isle are as gay
as they are painted. The book is
collaboration of two eminent gen.
tlemen. who have experience IN this
line. and the lyrics are the product
of SCHNEIDER an d Jerome, whose
works are we'll known. The score
is musical and varied. The COM
pany selected by Mr.. Whitney is up
to the New York standard. There
is an abundance Of lingerie and
pretty faces and figures who are
accustomed to the footlights of the
metropolitan theatres and the re-

might feel complimented with a
small house.

a very strong offering, which will

present seasons great successes.
1t has been seen in all the larger

The music ct the opera is OF that
nature which sends everybody away
from the theatre whistling d
hnmming the catchy airs. The
strains of the opera run through
two acts and at the close of the
second the audience is thrilled with
the perverted volume. Mr.. Whitney
has spared neither pains nor ex-
pense in the production of the Isle
of Spice. The chorus is large and
the voices excellent It shows SUI
perb training and care. The seen
cry and costumes are also far be-
yond anything ever attempted in

heartily and freely. The isle of
