Chinese rugs have within the last
few years come into high favor with
collectors and are steadily enhancing
in price. One Of the finest in the coun-
try was acquired FIVE or six years ago
by Henry c. Friok for 10000, and the
price was considered low in view of
the high quality of the textile, which
cannot be purchased at any such
terms at present.
II is believed the highest sum ever
given for rug before this last trans

New Skyscraper to Be Six Stories Deep

When asked how he happened to
plan six stories underground, Mr.. Haz-
lett said:
"A man asked us how far we pro-
posed to carry the building down into
the ground and l told him about fifty
feet.
of you will carry it down as far
as you possibly can,' he said, 1 will
rent the space on long lease
II asked him what he wanted to use
IL for and he said: L won't tell you,
but it will be for a legitimate purpose.
$50 we planned for a structure five
stories below water level, so tenants
in the lower levels can't hang pictures
by driving holes through the walls"
With the improved methods of light
ing, ventilation, and heating, the un.
derground rooms will be just as
healthful as the thousands of Offices
above ground when artificial light is
used during the day.
An extraordinary feature of the new
plans is that the engine and boiler
room will be on the third and fourth
floors. There will not be enough wood
in the building to make a toothpick
There will be in it 5000 to 10000 tons
of steel, 100000 bricks, and nine
acres of rental area.

chiseled out of this mountain of solid
white statuary marble, and still there
would be fields of unknown extent
above and below and on all sides. So
great is the deposit of white marble,
that IL perchance every person in the
civilized world should expire to-day, a
monument of generous proportions

These statements, extravagant as they
may appear to be, are actually more
than conservative and IL is possible
to easily verify them by actual meas

For present-day requirements there
has been exposed one section of solid
white marble one mile long, 355 feet
thick, and extending back at least
mile and half. as indicated by drill

Ar EW YORK.-Mrs. William B. Leeds,
~ widow of the tinplate millionaire,
who inherited the bulk of his $30,000,-
900 estate for life when he died in
Paris a few months since, is reported
eagaged to James DeWolf Cutting, the
society and club man of Newport, and
their friends look for an early mar

1t is said that on account of the re-

so much money on his beautiful wife
and devoted his life to her, the we'd
ding will be strictly private and will
be announced TO their friends by news

her beauty, and by the fact that Mr.
Leeds paid 100000 to claim her as
his wife, half the sum to his first wife
TO grant him a divorce, and a like sum
to his bride in presents, has been al
most constantly by Mr. Cutting, one
of Newports most popular and social

To Keep from InhaIIno Dust.

II, when you are ready to do your
weekly sweeping. you will place a
small piece of cold cream in each nos
tril you will not inhale any dust in
the head, as it will all stick to the
cold cream, and can be easily removed
with a handkerchief This is also
good when riding in the dust during
the summer. and again in the sharp
winter weather, If you place some of
the cold cream in your nostrils before
going out in the air, 1t often saves
hard cold, and will be appreciated
by any one troubled with catarrh in
the head.

Finishing mills, electric power

100 or more cottages have been erected
within the past eight months, and
many structures of various kinds are

Long before the finishing mill was
completed, and actually before the
company was ready to ship one cubic
foot of finished marble, contracts had
been made with Cuyahoga county,
Ohio. officials to supply 100000
worth of marble to finish the interior

A Surprise in Little italy.

Recently a party from uptown Wis.
tied a restaurant in the heart of Little
Italy and proceeded to enjoy local
color at a terrific rate
What they particularly liked was
the singing of Italian songs by local
talent gathered along Elizabeth and
Mulberry streets. And their Joy was
heightened when a large, quiet Italian,
who had been sitting modestly at a
table nearby, suddenly volunteered to
contribute a few operate songs. He
did so, arousing wild applause among
his countrymen. And the party, in
search of local color joined in the ap-
plause, for the man certainly had a
good voice.
So insistent became the encores that
finally the quiet man, with a low bow,
paid his bill and vanished.

an excellent one and Mrs. Leeds's in
come and great private fortune, given
her in cash and bonds by her husband,
will not be affected by her second mar
riage.
Mr. Cutting has frequently been re-
ported engaged. The report was that
he had been engaged to Mrs. Ogden
Goelet. This he sadly denied, saying
that he only wished il were true, but
about Mrs. Leeds he has not been SC
frank.
Mr.. Cutting is a nephew of Mrs. l.,
Townsend Burden. He has been one
of the prime favorites in the exclusive,
ly social set over which Mrs. Astor
presided during her lifetime.
Mrs. Leeds, whose life has been a
romance, is a strikingly handsome
woman, and it is regarded as a rather
curious coincidence that her husband
should have been largely interested in
railroad properties with which Mr..
Cutting was identified, although they
were strangers to each other.
AS Nancy May Stewart OF Rich
mond. Ind, she was one of the most
beautiful girls in the Hoosier state.
Her first marriage was unfortunate,
and after her separation the courtship
of William b. Leeds, who also was di-
vorced, led to series of peculiar COM
plications.
When his first wife divorced him
Mr.. Leeds settled 100000 on her,
and after he married again the first
wife made it a point to appear near
the second Mrs. Leeds and seek to
outshine her in jewels and gowns.
Leeds died suddenly in the Hotel
Ritz, Paris, June % last.
