 It is not yet known whether any of the twenty-five persons to whom tba woman has communicated typhoid has dieG of the disease.

ish metropolis, always marked by brief menus, have cut these even shorter, and Paris and Vienna are fast following the example No more long lists of dishes on. or two of each. that is all. In stead of the New York bills of fare at the smartest places, bound like books, with hundreds of items, your fashionable London restaurant now has two or three soups a fish or so, three or four entrees and hors d'oeuvres, a couple of roasts, perhaps two salads, choice of heavy or light dessert. fruit, cheese and cof- fee.
 Today the average number of items on the London menus Is not more than 50 to TO- There are plenty of places in New York where 800 dishes are served every day in the year and some Of the greater ones run as high as twice that number
 "Cut it to 100 dishes" is even now the plea of some of our own overworked Henris and Jeans, following out the Lon don and Paris idea.
 Their reasons are the London and Paris reasons-a higher standard of excellence. each dish to be perfect of it's kind.

Stock Gambling.

From the New York Sun.
 "As a business man I never made a dollar by gambling with stocks in my life. I would just as soon gamble with cards or at bridge whist, and I see no difference between them. I speak as business man, and business is an honor able calling. Wall street is not all of the country. There are even other places in New York besides Wall street. Speculation is parasite feeding on values and creat- ing none.

Since an attempt was made to kill H. c. Prick ;n p,ttshurg he has never gone out with out a guard and 1t is said that the de- tectives even sleep in his house at night MT. Rockefeller was frightened into pro viding protection for mmseit py the n,,n,her of cranks that flocked to his Sunday afternoon Bible class, Not long ago a wild eyed individual walked into the lobby of the church and asked tor MT. Rockefeller saying that he had made an engagement with him by wireless. MT. Rockefeller since then has always been accompanied by body guard.

Pity the Rich.

Some of the New York newspapers have worried themselves into fever over the slump in Wall street One, which seems to have been more seriously overcome than the rest, is lamenting that the rich will have to practice economy even in their living expenses to make up for the losses in the values of securi- ties Listen to this grave headline; Items of Retrenchment by the Rich Since the Wall Street Slump" Then ls- ten to the sad story that follows
 That the wealthy people of the city nave retrenched at least $50000, O00 in pres ent and contemplated expenditures since the slump in Wall street Is the estimate of well informed tradesmen.
 "Of this amount $10000.000 would have been spent in jewels, largely for the Easter season.
 Sales of paintings and objects of art nave suffered to the extent of sSOOO. .Oo0
 New York spends s5,00O,0OO for flowers during year. At least $500 GOO less will be expended this season.
 Automobile sales have suffered a s5OD ooo loss, while plans for $1O0OOOO in yachting expenditures have been given up.
 Private building plans to the amount Of SlOooo,Oo0 are being held in allowance
 Fefsonal expenditures of about s20.- ooo,ouo, including travel. extravagant 1lv ing, gifts, etc, have been temporarily abandoned.
 During the same time the small de positors of the savings banks have with drawn eWo,oOO of the billion they have accumulated and have invested if in Iow- priced securities, railroad notes and most gages." '''o'

Of course rich lolk are not eager to invest now hut they are not ready to give LID porterhonsa steak Tor chuck just yet While tbe wealthy are not falling over themselves to invest in stocks the persons with . little money to invest are rushing to Wal street to put 1t In standard securities while the prices are low '

 Typhoid Factory.
FINE WALL STREET YARN
BY SEWELL HAGGARD.

New York, April 6.-The sensation of the week in New York, and of the na- tion as for that matter, has been politi- cal-the letter of E. II. Hartman to Sidney Webster, giving some inside his- tory of how the republican party raises campaign funds. MT. Hartman, after being added to the Presidents gallery of liars, refused to say thing further than that he was sure that he had put the President in a hole. And 1t seems that MT. Hartman is right. Apparently the President is in a hole. He tried to explain away MT. Harriman's assertions in letter to Congressman Sherman, the chairman of the republican Con gress campaign committee. but there are some omissions in that letter that have caused surprise among the Presidents friends The most striking omission was Mr Roosevelt's failure to censure Mir. sherman for asking Mir Hartman for a campaign contribution.
 It had been commonly supposed that after the insurance disclosures and the revelation of MT. Harrimans partcipa- ton fin those scandals the republican campaign managers would not immediate ly go to him seeking to fill their treas uries. It is recalled that Congressman Babcock, who had the reputation of be- ing "fat-fryer" and Congressman Over street retired from the committee be- cause they believed there would be no money with which to conduct campaign, and there was a strong feeling at the time MT. Sherman was elected that the corpora tions would be immune, at least, during the congressional campaign of 1906. Everybody will now recall with smile MT. Sherman's appeal for dollar con tributions" and his assertions that the campaign was being conducted with the poor mans money.
 The President let's out the secret In his letter. While making an appeal for dollar contributions" MT. Sherman went about getting the real campaign fund In the old way, that Is, by appealing to the corporations and the chief figures in Wall street. MT. Hartman, evidently smarting under fancied wrongs, refused to contribute. Instead of accepting this refusal as final, MT. Sherman hastened to the President and MT. Roosevelt, in- stead of scoring MT. Sherman for ap. preaching MT. Hartman in the first place. writes him q long letter bolstering up his reasons for acting as he did after tho Presidential campaign of 1904, in which MT. Hartman rased $200 900. One of the interesting differences to be drawn from the whole affair Is that If MT. Har- riman was approached for funds it Is likely that other financers and corpora tions were also solicited and that the charges which the President has often so vigorously denied are absolutely true

Fires Due to careIessness.

There were 12000 fires in the city ot New York last year and of these nearly 5000 were due to carelessness. In many instances it was a case of children play ing with matches and the grown-ups not needing where they threw them. Others were caused by smokers tossing lighted cigar and cigarette stumps into waste paper baskets Kerosene lamps were filled while lighted and lace curtains were allowed to swing in drafts that carried them against blazing gas jets.
