Broadway without new sensation

descent Alley, as it is dubbed, is al
ways on the lookout for the latest bit

over one Russell Hopkins, a millionaire,

of this sort as only last winter an
elephant was called in to draw a sleigh

have never been harnessed in this coun'

may be seen in public is unknown, as
its appearance may be postponed until
Mr.. Hopkins finishes a yacht race from
New York to Colon, Panama. The race
is to be early in November and in
Broadway's parlance is the sportiest
ever, since the wager is nothing less
than the best dinner to be gotten in
New York. To decide who shall pay
for it it is possible that Mr.. Hopkins
and his oponent, Major Miller, will each
purchase a new yacht and If this be-
comes necessary it is estimated that

NEW YORK, Sept 23.-New York
is undisputedly the greatest telephone
city in the world. Enough words are
spoken over its telephones every day to
fiji three freight cars with books con
tanning them. Should one man attempt
to repeat the messages of single day
the end Of his lie would find him with
his task unfinished. The metropolitan
contains more instruments than are to
be found in France, Belgium, Holland
and Switzerland combined, or more than
there are in the twenty leading cities OF
the German Empire. These telephones
Sutnumber the whole population Of any
of the following political divisions of
the country: Arizona, Delaware, Dis
trict of Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada. New Mexico, North Dakota Utah,
Vermont and Wyoming. There are
$4,000 instruments now in use here,
enough for instance to give one to every
man. woman and child in the state Of
Vermont. with a mere trife Of 10000
left over. The total number of en-
ployees engaged in the operation and
management of the New York telet @
phone system alone aggregates 1000.
Or several hundred more than those OF
the whole Bell system Throughout the
entire country nine years ago. The
Americans are not only the greatest
users of telephones in the world, but
they demand and get the most. Since =:
every improvement in telephony is
brought into use here as soon as its
permanent value is proved, foreign ex-
perts look to this country, with New
York as its best example, as setting the
standard for them to follow. Engineer

also pays out something like 100000

is the freman's busiest day as about
one-fifth OF the fires occur then. Tues
