IN THE last two months there has ! been a surprisingly large increase in the number of convictions of Ital- fans in New York. It used to be said that it was almost impossible to get & verdict against them, and often the courts, low and high, had turned loose men of whose guilt there was not the slightest doubt, simply because wit nesses would not dare to testify against the accused.
 Some were deterred by the threats of men supposed to be connected with the Mafia, or the Black Hand; others comforted themselves with the thought that the friends of the injured or dead victims would attend to the crim. inals after they were set at liberty.
 The wedge has been entered into the world of Italian crime, and the police have learned that it Is easier to punish Italian criminals than hith- erto. The Mafia is walking around just to save funeral expenses. It no longer has any terrors for the Latin people. And as for the Black Hand, they laugh at mention of it. To the average Italian, indeed, Black Hand or simply means loafer who has

A number of the society swells of that city, under the inspira- tion of few bottles of extra dry, decid- ed to go in bathing without their cloth ing, substituting therefore a narrow band of fig leaves, cunningly devised by the ladies of the party. The natives about Walnut Creek were startled all right. Not guilty" was the verdict of the jury after trial for improper conduct, but they left strong hint tc 'not do it again.

Fort Smith will have a Home In dustry Club with the motto: Buy no thing abroad that is manufactured or sold in Fort Smith" This is charact- eristic of the pluck and energy of Fort Smith. It is an indisputable fact that every progressive town or city must have some kind of commercial organiza- tion to foster and promote its own busi- ness interests. Prescott will wake up to this fact after a while.

STREET OF THE SPENDERS SHOWS SUMMER IS HERE

bury Kane, J. P. Morgan, c. Oliver lselin Elihu Root, when he is in town, Joseph Choate, w. Gould Brokaw, FoXhall Keene and, in fact, all cf the men who have won or inherited fortune and fame.
 It is said that nobody walks in tho Street of the Spenders save those who serve-the others ride. That is true only in the winter. When summer comes, as now, many plebeian strolls down the thoroughfare and sees in it little to differentiate 1t from thousands of others in the city. for those to whom the street is the recep- tacle for the overflow of wealth-ths profits of great commercial enter prises, the wealth of millions in the west or the graft reaped from politfcs have gone to other lands or to sea coast or mountain side, and the pedes. trian sees nothing that tells him of the magnificent entertainments cost ing housands-sometime hundreds of thousands of dollars-given there almost nightly when the rich are in town. You can't find the Street of the Spenders in the New York directory Look under West Fourty-fourth street, and if you want to see 1t, it won't take you long, for it extends only from Fifth avenue to Broadway.

erty held by Trinity and property upon which it pays taxes range from s40,000000 to $100,000,000 The best of these estimates seem to be those that most nearly approach the latter figure.
 In the control of this vast wealth the 22 wardens and vestrymen of Trinity are absolute. The actual man. agement is left in the hands of a com mittee of half a dozen men, No re- ports are required to be made to tho state or any church authority An annual report is prepared and is opened to the vestrymen, but they are allowed to see only such books as are mentioned in the report. The list of persons allowed to vote at Trim ity church elections is secret.
 Trinitys holdings consist in large part of West side tenements, and it has often been criticised as an in- considerate landlord. These buildings are old and ages behind the times. Some were originally fine private dwellings that have been rearranged to accommodate several families

NO other thing than the deserted ap " pearance of the Street of the
 Spenders is required to tell one that summer has struck New York. The Street of the Spenders is a little less than a third of mile long, yet it is probable that more money is spent l there for pleasure than in any other locality of similar extent in the world ! It is an ultra-fashionable thorough fare, lined with palatial buildings worth millions. Except in summer. an average of 5000 pleasure vehicles pass through the street each day. and perhaps $500 of these are there be- tween the hours of six o'clock and midnight, when the clubs, the dining places and the bathrooms are in full swing
 At one end of the Street of the Spenders are Delmonicos and Sher- .-gs, at the other end the new $7,0OO. 900 Astor hotel. Between them are some of the finest and most exclusive clubs in the world, the St. Nicholas, the Racquet, the New York Yacht. Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, the Bar association and the Lambs. Frequent ing their favorites in this list are the Nanderbilts, the Astors. Clarence II. Mackay, Payne Whitney, James Hagen Hyde, the Belmonts, Wood

RICH TRINITY CHURCH IS AGAIN UNDER FIRE

NEW YORK.-Trinity church is un- " der fire again, and it has, as usual, been as serene under the lombard ment as Gibaltar would be if peppered by broadside of popguns.
 Trinity is the richest church corporation n the world. and it is in regard to the riches of the church that the fuss is about. What the wealth of Trinity is and what is done with its income has been burning issue for more than a century. It is a standing mystery in New York
 ! The property of the church is held by Trinity corporation, and it is a close one. The extent of its wealth is, secret recorded in the corpora ton books, and they are open only to few of the higher officers.
 Outsiders cannot get complete view of the church holdings, because much of the property stands on the tax rolls in the names of persons to whom it has been leased for long terms. Estimates of the church prop
