THE latest entry seems TO be Mr..
William &. Hodges, Of Tallahassee,
who, while he Is not an active candi-

also said that he has received the act

There would be very little TO say
against the appointment Of Mr.. Hodges

for q year he has been In delicate
health. He has been the head Of the
criminal bar of his section Tor nearly q
dozen years, and Is regarded by his
legal associates as one Of the most
courteous men possible 70 meet on a
legal question. For some years he has
represented the present Governor Of
Florida In private litigation against
prominent newspapers Of the State, and
Il is generally conceded that Gov.
Broward would be glad Of his appoint
ment, and the probability OF his APP
pointment is largely due TO the fact
that he would make an agreeable COM
promise 10 all conflicting interests, and
would be much preferred by tine citi-
zens of the district TO an outsider

The giant 700-foot Lusitania still attracts the attention of thousands. but inter est Is already turning. The very lat- est thing is an ocean liner in which live fish are kept for the table. That vessel which plies the broad Atlantic should attract attention in this man ner smacks of the ridiculous. moving, as she does, in the very home of fishes. but nevertheless until the arrival of the Amerika this week. Atlantic liners have always carried their Ash from port to port dead and stored away for the simple reason that at the present day rate of steaming no one should catch fish, even if he were to try. On the Amerika. however, the novel scheme is just being introduced of having an aquarium on board stocked with live trout which the sated millionaire may select any fish that appeals to his jaded palate with the certainty that 1t will be served sto him fresh. Taking HStt " SCdr HOWGNNts SlAtPic dS lt sounds. is still too much like taking coals to Newcastle not to appeal to the average person.
 New York not only uses more tele- phones than any other city in the world, but manufactures more than all the rest of the country combined. This fact was brought out in connection with the announcement that the West ern Electric Company, which makes all the instruments used by the various Bell companies at it's huge West Street plant, in this city, is to sell telephones to the general public. Something like 100000 instruments year, or more than 5000 complete telephones every day. is New York's contribution to the business of vocal communication to supply the demands of the Bell inter-, ests The telephone business, though now thirty years old, has had it's great expansion in the past ten yeaars, and 2s,00p persons are employed in the making of various parts by this one company alone. Heretofore 1t has not been possible for an individual or for a group of neighbors with a private telephone line to buy the instruments used by the Bell system, but this is now to be changed. The big company admits that it's refusal to sell instru- ments in the past has caused 1t to be regarded as a monopoly and says that in taking it's present step 1t has in view the cultivation of better relations with the public on the part of it's various subsidiaries Lopgacre.

Princess Hatzfeldt (Miss Huntingdon and the Duchess de valencaY (Miss Morton), each of whom had a dowry of s1, 100000 or more.
 An exception to the rule was the case of Miss Grant. daughter of Gen. Fred Grant who carried an insignihcant dover to Prince Cantacuzene of Rus sia, whom she married in 1899. Prince BoloseIsky of Russia also chose an American bride who was comparatively poor--Miss Susan Whittier. daughter of Gen. Charles A. Whittier.

Oct. 2e--Tweive build ings with an aggregate height of mora than three-quarters of a mile, and havs ing 2a0 stories. will be New York's record in the slxyscraper line when the construction now underway is finished For q concentration of lofty buildings, this dozen. all grouped within few steps of one another in the downtown district, will surpass anything of the sort that all the rest of the world can put forward. even though this chasm of stone and steel does not take into consideration the skyscrapers uptown. The average height of each building is more than twenty-four stories, and 1t would take less time to walk from one to any other than to climb the stairs in the shortest. which rises mere twenty-one stories into the air, or just half as far as it's tallest peighbor. The value of these twelve buildings is up- ward of $25,000 900 and their floor area more, than 3.60o.00o square feet. or nearly ninety acres, all of which rents on an average for something like two dollars a foot. Fifteen, twenty or even twenty-five thousand tons of steel is no uncommon amount to go into one of these monsters. which often extend 7S or 100 feet below the street level. In spite of the remarkable size of the group, however, the average rate of construction under favorable cireulp- stances, is about four stories a week.

 Separate waists of embroidered net and all-over lace are more attractive than ever before. Some of the blouses are loose fitting, but the lining Is fit- ted and boned carefully so the effect Is unusually pretty. Tucks, ruches and satin appliques are the .favorite trim mings.
