The Third Mills Hotel.

The third Mills Hotel for the accommo-
dation Of sober and honest workingmen
has just been opened at the corner OF 31h
street and 9TH avenue, New York, near
the new Pennsylvania railroad station.
and it is a striking illustration of the
possibility of combining benevofence and
business. The first Mills Hotel for WORK
ingmen, erected by Mr.. D O. Mis- in the
tenement-house district downtown, was
regarded as doubtful experiment. Il
provided accommodations of the neates.
and most comfortable kind for wage
carriers at very low prices. A man could
get room TO himself. with a hair mat
tress and wire springs. clean sheets and
feather pillow for 30 and ~ cents a
day; he could get q bath for cents, a
breakfast for 10 Dents. a dinner for -
cents, or as much more as he desired to
pay. For dollar a day he can have as
comfortable a room and as nourishing
food as he can get at the Waldorf Astoria
for s10 and the only difference is in APP
pearances. A large and attractive read
ing room with papers. magazines and
well-selected library of books is pro-
vided a smoking room and other apart
mentS for rest, conversation and amuse-
ment, and everything is as bright and
cheerful as 1t can be made without tufted
chairs and embroidered hangings. There
are no carpets on the floors, but they are
just as clean as a New England dairy.
This experiment was remarkably sue
cessful. The hotel has been crowded from
the beginning until now. and has paid
Mr.. Mills dividend Of from to q per
cent annually upon his investment.
n second hotel of even larger size was
built on the East Side two or three years
later and has been conducted on the same
plan. 1t has been equally successful. For
weeks. even for months at a time there
has not been a vacant room in either
house. Occasionally in the summer this
patronage falls off, but both investments
have paid good dividends. and now Mr..
Mills has built third hotel uptown for
the benefit of respectable workingmen
who will be coming and going by the
new Pennsylvania terminals. 1t is as
perfect in all it's appointments az any
hotel in New York. The beds are as soft,
the air is as sweet and the food Is as
wholesome and nourishtng as can be OBJ
tanned at any of the big hotels on 18th
avenue, but the prices will be only about
one-tenth as much.

Admiral Evans Bird Disappears.

A gray parrot disappeared from the
home of Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans,
324 Indiana avenue, Wednesday after
noon, and the police have been asked to
make an effort to recover the bird. The
bird was a pet in the family, Mrs. Evans
and the children having been in the habit
of talking to 1t and taking it from the
cage Wednesday afternoon the parrot
was left in the rear of the house for an
airing and 1t managed to get away. No
body saw the parrot get away. and its
absence was not discovered until after
o'clock.
Bicycle Policeman jeremiah Mccarthy
was summoned to the house and told of
the absence of the bird. He searched the
parks about the neighborhood In which
Admiral Evans lives. but got no trace of
the parrot The police Of the several pre-
cincts were told yesterday to do what
they could for the fighting admiral but
this morning they had receiv ID no in
formation which would assist them in
locating Polly.

advised him not to visit this country be-
cause 1t was absolutely certain that he
would be subjected to serious embarrass-
nent and modification.
The two gentlemen met incidentally at
Paris hotel; they were introduced by
mutual friends, who naturally informed
the New Yorker that the prn was sail
ing for the United States in Nov smber.
AS soon as an opportunity offered, the
New Yorker exp, aimed with great candor
the situation in the United States. and de-
scribed the sensation and the newspaper
discussion that were excited when the
President of the United States and Book
er Washington drank a cup of tea and
ate sandwich together in the cabinet
room at the White House. The prince at
once countermanded all orders concern
ing his tour in America and expressed his
deepest gratitude to the gentleman who
had nerve enough 10 tell him the truth.

The LongfelloW Statue.

Mr.. William Copper, the well-known
sculptor. whose studio is at POT East 18th
street. New York city, has just completed
the model of a statue of Longfellow,
which Is to be erected. on the triangle at
the junction of Connecticut avenue, mode
Island avenue and NJ street in the city of
Washington. The funds for the statue
have been raised by an association of
which Mr.. B. H. Warner is pres dent, and
Gen. A. w. Greedy and Bishop Mackay-
Smith, formerly rector Of ST. Johns
Church, and others are active members
The association was formed twelve or fif-
teen years ago, and the fund was made
up mostly of small contributions from
those who love and admire the great poet
AT the last session of Congress an ap-
preparation was made for a pedestal and
the site named granted.
Mr.. Copper has been at work upon the
model for nearly a year, and the result
Is considered a remarkable success. 1t was
accepted unanimously by the committee
at the first inspection without a single
adverse criticism. No alterations have
been suggested. Longfellow's ia nily are
equally pleased. and several of his old
friends who have seen the model have
expressed their profound qualification at
the remarkable accuracy with which the
sculptor has portrayed his character in
mis- attitude and expression. The model
will be sent to the foundry very shortly
and will be ready for the pedestal mex.

ng the supply of mother-of-pearl upon
which the button factories depend.
Fourteen years ago l tried to have a
law passed protecting the pearl industry
by regulations which would have pre-
vented the determination Of the mussels,
but several dealers went down to Wash
ington and told the committee 1t was a
conspiracy on the part of >the Tiffany
company to get hold Of the fisheries and
deprive the poor .clammers' of their oc-
cupation and their earnings. AS / was not
able to do anything in Washington l ap-
pealed to several of the legislatures. Ar
kansas was the only state that took any
notice of the matter. and it's law was
more for the benefit of the cotton plant
ers than to protect the pearls. 1t sim
ply prohibited pearl fishing during the
summer months, which compelled the
pearl hunters to go back to the cotton
fields.
In the meantime there have been no
regulations in the other states, and, as a
consequence. the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries, which all bear more or less she'll
fish. have teen stripped by the natives In
their eagerness to find pearls. They have
killed everything and pearl fishing in the
United States is practically at end
unless the streams are artifcia!iy restock-
ed with mussels and protected under strict
regulations. as fish and game are.
This year the Wabash river has been
the scene of the best discoveries Some
body found a pearl that was worth more
than $1,000. and later two others were
found worth about $3.50 apiece. which,
very naturally, set the whole community
crazy and at one time last summer more
than N.GO men were claiming along
the Wabash river north and south of Vim
cennes. The finds have been so valuable
that farm hands and laborers, mechanics
and everybody else have been
fishing. and have Destroyed everything
in the of shell life 10 riy
This is very unfortunate because, prop
erly protected. the pearl fisheries on our
fresh-water streams might become large
and profitable industries"

Killing the Pearl Industry.

Mr.. Kunz says that the pearl harvest
this year in the United States has been
ve:y large but disastrous to the indus
try. The pearl hunters are killing the
geese that lay the golden eggs. They
are rapidly DISCRIMINATING the mussels
and other shellfish which produce the
pearls They are not destroying the pc irl

Commissioner Aliens Plan.

1t was planned about a year ago By
Commissioner Allen of the patent office
to clean out the three floors and throw
the collection on the junk pile keeping
only very few of the more valuable
historic models. Part of the plan was
also to distribute to certain educational
institutions that asked for them certain
models.
Secretary Hitchcock never acted on the
proposition. partly because of numerous
objections to it by inventors, who wished
the model room kept intact for senti-
mental reasons and partly because Of the
stress of business incident to the close Of
his term of office.
When Secretary Garfield and Commits
sioner Moore came into office the matter
was lost sight Of for time. The con-
sideration OF the estimates for the ex-
penses of the department for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1908, brought the
subject to the front again.
The Union building, it is said. was
erected especially for the purpose of rent
ing to the government.
Assistant Secretary Wilson is apparent
ly in no hurry to reach a conclusion in
the matter, but has instructed Commits
sioner Moore of the patent Office to make
a thorough investigation with a view to
learning what disposal of TIE models
can be made. and especially whether they
can be sent over to the pension Office.

Rival Drugs Bridegroom

Sioux City, S. D., April Is. -Alexan-
der ]. McAllister, of Lyman, S. D.,
failed to appear to marry Miss Lena
Olmstead, daughter of a leading busi-
ness man of Emerson, Neb., a week ago
and the townspeople were much agitat-
ed. The romance started in Dakota,
where McAllister and Miss Olmstead
had nearby claims. She returned to
Emerson to prepare for the wedding.
McAllister arrived there on time and
made particular effort to be kind to a
youth who was pointed out as rejected
suitor of the bride-elect. He declares
that this young man drugged him while
they were drinking, making him unable
to attend his own wedding. The girls
father found him helpless and forbade
the marriage.
Miss Olmstead was sent to Omaha
and when McAllister came to his senses
he searched two days for her, the vii
lage taking sides for or against him.
Mr.. Olmstead is a church deacon and
the church people were scandalized.
The youth finally traced the girl to
Omaha, won her again and now they
are on their way to Emerson to explain.
