$55 each, and there must be more
shoes than hats that can be had from
So to 500 pair. Hats and shoes are
subject to frequent change.
This is all very well for the outside
but there must be at least score of
gowns to go with this, and gowns soon
grow old and must be frequently re-
newed.
For the other clothing, including
fans and parasols, it is difficult to get
figures, for there is such broad lati-
tude in taste, quantity and quality,
and frequent changes make purchases
of almost daily occurrence. The cost
soon runs into the thousands and
makes the total expenditure of $780,
900 a year quite easy, to say nothing
of the jewels, which are supposed to
endure for some time, subject to the

This is only a slight evidence of
the rule of Wall street to stifle or
conceal its personal feelings. And
yet. beneath the surface, bankers,
railroad financiers and capitalists are
banded in hostile groups or camps
that prey on one another. Even the
fair sex enters into the secret wars,
and many a social rivalry is trans
ferred from the drawing-room to the
financial fighting grounds in Wall
and Broad street. One very aggres-
sive matron not so long ago convulsed
not alone society, but also the finan-
cial district, by making an observa-
ton that is still being repeated in
the millionaires' clubs. 1t was at the
close Of the life insurance investiga-
ton, when e. H. Hartman made his
famous trip to San Francisco, just

matron, after having robbed the

EXPERT opinion fixes the average
l. annual cost of a New York wom-
ans clothing at $685.. This is not a
large sum, but it is figure on which
balances the thousands who do not
spend $40 and the scores who spend
$4,000. A gown for the latter costs
more than the entire expense of the
family of the former.
There are about 100 women in the
metropolis who spend $4,000 a year
each on dress, and it is not difficult
to do so if one gets the necessary
gown and Accomplishments in order to
be we'll dressed for each of the num-
erous occasions required by social
custom. Then there are some 10000
women in the city who eacn spend
$4,000 year, and about 5000 who
go close to $4,000.
One days shopping, not + buying,
simply as an experiment, showed how
easy these highest figures can be
reached. A furrier offered fine sable
coat for the reasonable price of
$4,000, while the milliner suggested

the bootmaker selected proper foot

Devotees of the more fashionable
life also are taking to underground
city since some of the new hotels and
department stores have utilized the
space below the surface of their sites
with doors leading to and from the
subways.
1t is pointed out that a man can
come from Chicago to New York, put
up at a hotel visit several stores,
transact business at downtown office
building and return home without
once setting foot out of doors. This
state of affairs undoubtedly presages
the time when there will be an under
ground city extending over the whole
lower part of Manhattan Island, with
its own streets, shops and systems OF
transportation. Perhaps in time a
race of real human moles will develop

RECIPE FOR SIMPLE HOMEMADE
KIDNEY CURE.
inexpensive Mixture of Harmless Veg
etabe Ingredients Said to Over
come Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.

Here is a simple homemade mix
ture as given by an eminent authority
on Kidney diseases, who makes the
statement in a New York daily news
paper, that it will relieve almost any
case of Kidney trouble if taken be-
fore the stage of Bright's disease. He
states that such symptoms as lame
back, pain in the side, frequent desire
to urinate, especially at night; painful
and discolored urination, are readily
overcome. Here is the recipe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well-known physician is authority
that these ingredients are all harmless
and easily mixed at home by shaking
well in bottle. This mixture has a
peculiar healing and soothing effect
upon the entire Kidney and Urinary
structure, and often overcomes the
worst forms of Rheumatism in just
little while. This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and cure
the Rheumatism by forcing the Kid
neys to filter and strain from the blood
and system all uric acid and foul, de-
composed waste matter, which cause

RAPID GROWTH OF NEW
YORK CITY UNDERGROUND

NEW YORK.-An investigator with
~ a bent for facts of curious interest
his discovered that while the sky
scrapers of Manhattan are pushing to
greater and greater heights, the city
underground has been growing even
more rapidly. According to his COM
putation hundred thousand persons
carry on their daily occupations be-
meath the streets and below the wat
ers of Greater New York. Some OF
these are caisson workers laying
the foundations of huge buildings,
employees of the various tunnels push
ing their way under the North and
East rivers and workmen in the sub
ways. In addition to this specialized
line of underground activity, there are
certain industries carried on almost
entirely beneath the surface. One Of
these is baking, and it is stated that
nearly all the bread and pastry eaten
by New Workers is prepared below the
ground. There are thousands of small
shops on the east side that occupy

FISH RAILROAD CLASH

n HE fight for the control Of the Hi
i nois Central railroad between Stuy-
vesant Fish and E. H. Hartman re-
calls other clashes between men who
deal in railroads. Many people re-
member the bitter fight waged two
years ago by Joseph Ramsey, Jr., then
president of the Wabash, against
George ]. Gould, with the avowed pur
pose of wrestling the system from him..
1t was hot fight while it lasted, and
many unpleasant words were said on
both sides. Yet if you were to go
into the Wabash Offices you would
see among the photographs on the
wall, one enclosed in narrow black
frame, the portraits of Mr.. Ramsey
and Mr.. Gould, placed side by side, as
though they were the best of friends.
The two portraits will probably re-
main framed together until they be-
come yellow and timeworn as the
other mementoes of the past that are
on the Wabash Office walls.
