 New York Oct. s.-The very latest style in New York is to have a shadow, and there is scarcely man of promi- hence in the city, especially in the great financial district. who is without one While they are worn at all times these shadows are not those cast by the sun. but real detectives idisguised in second-hand froek coats and false whiskers.
 Never before has there been such q rage for having people shadowed and with exposures in high finance and politics eoming daily, the person who has not a shadow on his trafl does not amount to much. Stuyvesant Fish as- serts that he has been followed for more than q year and strangely enough { F. H. Hartman has not the natural alIowance of one shadow, but i've While the public adds two and two 7 and makes shrewd guesses, each ci these gentlemen refnses to say whom he suspects of having Aim shadowed
 Comptroller Metz, who recently re- fused to shake hands with Police Com missioner Bingham asserts that he was shadoweds across the ocean and back again by the latter's sleuths while @Fingy" Corners, chairman oi the Democratic State Committee. as serts that the shadowing emissaries oi hIs arch political opponents have made themselves extremely obnoxious It is also reported that Mayor McClel- Ian is watched by the shadows ot Hearst and Wall Street fairly swarms with them. There is nd reason why any shadow should be without a job. The number of private detective bu- reaus in the city has more than dou- bied in the past two or three years ar and all of them are kept busy. The New Yorker who has not a shadow now-a days is accredited with little standing.
 The oftenest bitten man in the world is the title claimed for Isiah Lees official dog catcher of Yonkers, who is dying from hydrophobia.

 M. Camille Flammarion is in despair. and M. Leon Barthou Is sharing his worry. for no minister can fight against the stars. M, Flammarion has found a greater enemy. as he puts 1t, to astronomy than even the judges of Calico. for they were mental vapors, but this enemy is solid. terrible and persistent.
 It Is the citomonilists. and the emil nent astronomer and director of the Observatory at Juvisy says his work Is at standstill on account of the fine but heavy clouds of dust which are in- cessantly being raised by the automo- piles. which cannot be kept out. and which coNers his glasses and delicate instruments with a perpetual carpet.
 The fine mechanism of his instru- ments is stopped, many of the articles are spoiled. and the astronomer finds all his efforts wasted. Naturally. a complaint from such source must be attended to. and an effort Is now being made to find out whether anything can be done to alleviate the trouble tarring the road all around Juvisy.
