NEW Works. CLUBS.
some Oddities OF the Organization,
OF the Metropolis.

OF the Metropolis.
New York's club list Is long one,
comprising over 1000 names of social.
business and other organizations. a list
largely made up of a conglomeratlon
OF names quite meaningless to the SIM
pie citizen aud only to be under stood
through the experiences OF a Balzao
with a Spcncerian Imagination.
The Lambs, with their shepherd. as
the executive Is called. is quite a well
known literary society, but only the
widest conjecture could hit upon an
Interpretation for the Concatenated
| Order of Hoo Hoo or the Rabbit club.
One would suspect the worst OF the
Hoo Hoos. but perhaps give the Rab-
| bits credit for scientific research into
| the traits of their namesake and not
| an admiring imitation OF its personal
| habits. With the divorce court epithet
| Of Old cats still so popular, Ii seems i'm
| proba BILE that the Kit Kat club should
be an organization of kittenish females.
and. as for the Duo-Decimos, 1t is quite
impossible to judge from their alias
whether they are persons dubbed to-
i
NAL system or whether they have found
| one life too slow, even In New York,
and have formed brazen band to lead
from two to three different ones. The
| Orpheus club belongs more appropri-
ntely to Boston or Philadelphia. The
| Private Car club smacks Of life inSur-
Gnce. aud. as for the Thirteen club,
evidently its members are fatalists and
don't care what they do and are worthy
of being carded recklessly with the
Molly Magulres.
These are only a few examples from
the lengthy and curious list of organi-
cations which find but meager express
sion In the many splendid club build.
ings seen about New York. The vast
majority have their outward and Wis.
ible signs only In their weekly or
monthly meetings, and the increasing
demand for suitable meeting places has
wrought marked change in the con-
struction Of our new hotels
The hotel OF our grandfathers was
almost purely a lodging for the night"
The growth Of clubs aud business or.
CARNATIONS has been the most impor-
tant factor in the evolution OF the hotel
OF today-no longer mere hostelry,
but public meeting place. social
family, commercial club, dining and
reception room. To meet this modern
demand the hotel architect must now
provide series of dining and reception
rooms appropriate for almost every
sort of club meeting or banquet. AT
one OF the most recently constructed
New York hotels no less than sixteen
dining ana meeting rooms have been
| found necessary. ranging from the
great upstairs banquet hall. capable OF
seating 400 persons. to the snug little
nook where Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed
may chortle through their feast in un-
interrupted scclusion.-New York Her

She Sells Books.

The most successful book canvasser
ia the United States Is q woman. She
Is Russian and came over here ten
years ago, unable TO read or write
English. Now she is earning $4,000 a
year selling special limited editions
for Philadelphia house. This woman
thinks 1t nothing TO sell set OF books
for $4,000, OF which she receives 40
per cent. The books OF course IRE sup
posed to be bound in covers OF special
design, the paper, printing and Illus
trations are of the finest, and the edi-
ton is said to be limited. The woman
sells the books mostly to wealthy wo-
men. She drives up to their homes in
n magnificent carriage, attended by a
footman in livery. She never falls to
Impress the prospective customer with
her refinement and frequently poses as
a Russian countess. There is hardly q
society woman in the country who has
not purchased Il set of books from this
woman.-Argonaut

A few days later Mr.. Adams visited

a DESERTED VILLAGE.
Il Cost n Million ana Now stands In
Dense Woods.

Dense Woods.
Hidden behind the precipltous rocky
bluffs OF Point Mamainse. on the north
shore of Lake Superior. lies the once
thriving village of Mamalnse, long
deserted town of former comfortable
homes aud well paved streets. Il
stands in the midst of thick wood,
and except for the occasional hunter
or proSpector it is never visited. II
has some fifty dwelling houses, besides
other buildings, nearly all constructed
OF line white pine, and shaft house.
stamp mill and reduction works.
Near the site OF this deserted town
Is au old and abandoned copper mine,
the attempt to open which explains the
existence of the village. the last re-
naming vestige of an English corpora.
ton, backed by mint OF money. The
outcroppings of mineral were rich. and
on the strength of this showing. even
before the shaft was started that was
TO open the supposed copper deposit,
the corporation built its town and
stamp mill and reduction works.
More than a million dollars were ex.
pended in this way, and at one time
there were more than 200 men on the
payroll. Money was spent lavishly.
Long and beautiful drives were laid
cut in the virgin forest, and a steamer
line was established between the town
and Sault Ste. Marie. But copper was
lacking, and the enterprise failed, to
the dead loss of the stockholders.
The corporation was called the Que.
bec-Lake Superior Copper Mining COM
pany. Operations were conducted for
several years and in 1884 were sus-
pended indefinitely, since which time
the town has been abandoned to un-
derbrush and weeds. The buildings
remain standing, denuded of doors and
windows and open to the SHOWS and
rains.
1t was not expected by the last group
OF people that departed from the place
that the village would be deserted. In
fact, the majority OF the houses were
left furnished and the big general store
well stocked with goods. For a time
watchmen We're employed to protect
the property against thieves, but finally
they, too, were recalled, and all was
abandoned 10 it's fate.
AS soon as it was discovered that nc
one was left to take care of the mill
shops, store and houses, systematic
Epoliation was organized, and plumber
from the town was taken away by the
| boat load.
The mining claim, together with the
entire tract of land, comprising 6.1O(
acres, was subsequently acquired 10y

sands of dollars.
The main street of the town is a mile
In length. A remarkable fact in con
nection with the houses is that, nj
though never painted, they today lool
almost like new buildings. The quality
OF the lumber probably is responsible,
for this. The plaster. too. remain:
white and clean. uncracked by frost OF
rain. There is not one among then
that is not quite as cleanly.as the ordi

What TO DO.
There is comfort III the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swalnp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain IN the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures OF the most dis
tressing cases. IF you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

TO notice about these paths of gospel

all paths to travel. They will give

Borough Hall Squad VIII Here
after Report to Inspector
in Charge.

Police Commissioner Bingham took
another step In his plan to reorsauiae
the Department in BROOKLYN to-day
when he Issued an order abollshtut the
One Hundred and Eighty-secou Precinct,
or Borough Hail Squad with hcndqunr-
ters In the Borough Hall, This squad
was unde rthc command OF Cant Wen
dell and comprised four lIrutenan,s,
four scrgeants and 100 patrolmcu
The patrolnen were all assigned 10 the
courts and public offices of the borough
Of Brooklyn. and on the Department
rolls were regarded as attached TO the
one Hundred and Eighty-second Pre-
cinct.
Hereafter Capt. Wendell and the four
lieutenants and sergeants Will do regu-
lar precinct duty. The patrolnen will
continue on duty In the courts and
public buildings, but will repor' to the
office OF Borough Inspector Schmittber-
ger. The order also hits fifteen patrol
men in Queens assigned to court and
public building duty. owho are trans
ferred to Inspector Sweeny S staff
The effct of the order simply transfers
the policemen assigned to duty in
Brooklyn ad Queens to the direct super
vision OF the inspectors In those Dor
oughs and gives the department another
captain and eight additional subordinate
officers for precinct duty. The system
has been in vogue IN Manhattan for
several years.
