HOST BOTHMAN
TO OPEN HOTEL

Harry Bothman, proprietor OF the
Clayton House in this city. who recent
ly acquired the Hotel Wiltshore at the
ocean end Of Virginia avenue, Atlantic
City, N. j., will open that hostelry on
next Saturday. The Atlantic City
Press has the following to say in con-
nection with opening of the hotel;
"Refurnished from top floor to base
ment, generally renovated and improv-
ed throughout. the popular Hotel Wilt
shire delightfully."- situated at the ocean
end Of Virginia avenue within stones
throw of the boardwalk. steel pier
and leading amusements, will open its
doors for the reception of guests on
Saturday, under the personal manage
ment of the new proprietor, Harry
Bothman, a veteran hotel man, and
who also conducts the Clayton House,
Wilmington, Del.
Frightened by a becoming coat Of
paint, the Wiltshire has taken on a
new appearance and will hardly be
recognized by the old guests, who are
already making inquiries for reserve
tions for the Easter and early sum-
mer seasons"
Mr. Bothman says that the hotel will
be conducted along the same lines as
heretofore and there will be but few
changes in the Office or mechanical
stats. He will manage the hotel per-
sonally. John Thackery, who is now
with Mr.. Bothman at the Clayton
House, will be steward and William
White, also Of the Clayton House force,
viii be chef James A. Bakey who is
at present located at the Hotel Will
mington and we'll known in the city,
viii have charge Of the barroom.
The Atlantic City newspaper states
that Mr.. Bothman is a married. man.
This is untrue as Mr.. Bothman is still
rated among the bachelors. His friends,
however, are having considerable fun
over this paragraph in the article.

succeeded in securing her. She is a
sister-in-law Of Signor Campanini, the
great conductor. Like Caruso, she has
been her own instructor in the singing
art. When asked how she learned her
art the great singer replied:
"You ask me how to learn singing?
Well, well, I should have to write you
a big book, not a short article like
this, and then perhaps you would be
none the wiser, for no one can learn
to sing as people learn to play games.
"In the very first place, It is a gift
for If you wish to be a singer you
must have a voice. Everybody is not
born with voice, and some people
who are have not the second vital
qualification OF singer. l allude to
what / can only describe as heart
A voice and the heart to go with it
ah, there you have the complete

"But how often does this occur7
have heard so many vocalists with
wonderful, pure, perfectly trained
voices who sing the notes fiawlessly.
and that is all. There is no warmth,
no passion. in their singing. 1t leaves
one quite unmoved afterward. And
this is solely because they have not
been born with a heart The voice
can be trained; the heart never. 1t
is there or it is not there.
"People have been kind enough tc
say that l was born with both voice

"But as to how TO become a singer

scribe the way to do it. But this car

Gowns Worth Altering.

Before attempting to alter a garment
consider whether 1t is worth it. Ascer-
tain what will be needed to make it
presentable and what it viii cost to
get the necessary articles, what time 1t
win take to make the alterations and
how it Will look when finished as well
as for what length of time the gar
ment would likely be useful after the
changes are made.
Balance this against the cost, ap-
pearance and wear Of a new garment
Of the same character and then decide.
II It does not cost less than one-half
the price Of new gown, require less
than one-half the time TO make the al
teration that it would to make a new
one and If 1t will not wear at least
half as long as a new one, put it aside,
as It is not worth the exertion.
Do not for a moment think this arh-
Gle is written to discourage the thrifty
and lead them into extravaganza. be-
cause some of the prettiest gowns
ever seen were made over and so
skillfully arranged that the most sus-
pecting could never have told just
what it was that changed the whole
aspect and made it new.
On the other hand, many wom-
en- try to economic and spend more
money. time and energy on a frock-
and then have nottingham would
have been required to make two new
ones. Therefore a study Of each gar
ment should be made before it is re
modelled
When once you have made up your
mind that it is worth while to make
the change, do not spoil the gown by
buying a yard less Of the new goods
than is really needed, saying to your
self that it is only a made over" and
may be sximped. This is the poorest
kind of economy.
In the same way do not try TO save
in the sewing. Rip 1t wherever It is
needed and do not be afraid Of few
extra stitches. If necessary rip the
sleeves entirely out and the collar of.

Methods employed by certain ID. U
r. conductors In beating the com
pany out OF fares, was disclosed In
Judge Lemkie's court Thursday morn
| ing. when Walter c. Markle. one OF
the conductors recently lot out
brought suit 10 recover wages.
The company. which didn't dispute
the wage claim. alleged that Mafkie

The Offset was allowed. and Markie

The company claimed that MarkIe' :
pilteriIg was greatly in excess OF the
$3.50, but that II was unable TO show
by Its records a greater amount.
Testimony against Markle was
given by his motorman, Frank Shep
herd. The latter testified that on
one trip when there were 10 or IL
passengers on a Springwells car. Mar
kle came 10 him, and asked IL he
knew any OF the passengers. Shep
hord said they were strangers to
him. and Markle observed, according

The witness also testified that Mar

used IL 10 get ahead OF the company

tutes transfers for cash. In such a
manner that his register and trip

tenn by which the company had been
beaten out OF considerable revenue,
but he did not say that Markle had
employed that plan He explained
that on the hrst trip the conductor
would collect so fares, register 40. and
make his trip sheet show so. On the

Four-year-old Joseph Lawton. whose
home is at No l05 Bethune-ave. west
met with a painful accident in the
county building. Thursday morning
when his foot was caught between the
floor OF one of the elevators and the
ground floor OF the building.
The elevator, In charge OF Clarence
Gateley, had just descended. and the
car. instead of stopping on a level
with the floor. dropped three or four
inches. The conductor first threw
open the door and then gave the car
slight jerk upward. The Lawton
boy accompanied by his mother, had
already started TO leave the car and
one OF his feet was caught as the car
was brought into place.
Little Joseph tainted from the pain
and his mothers hysterical cries
brought persons from all over the
building to the scene OF the accident.
The little lad showed his pluck when
on reviving. he said

HAVEN FOR HAWKS.
Wandering Falcons Make Home in
Postoffice Tower.

Every winter for years pair of duck
hawks have used the tower of the post
office department building, on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, Washington, as place
If refuge. The birds are in their win
,er quarters again this year, and from
heir safe retreat high above the street
.hey make daily trips to the Potomac,
where they pick up many a luckless
,oot or grebe, which are forthwith sac
-ifced to appease the seemingly never
completely satisfied hawk hunger.
The duck hawk Is cosmopolitan
bird. 1t appears in very slightly varied
forms in most parts of the world. The
extent of its range has given it the
name of the wandering falcon. 1t is a
rue falcon, and in its life it typifes
nature at it's widest, and it may be
aid, at its fercest. 1t is impossible,
IF course, to tell whether the pair of
falcons in the tower of the postoffice
building this winter are the same that
have lodged there during the cold
Weather in past seasons.
Three or four years ago some of the
oostoffice authorities sought permission
% shoot the hawks, for they were in
he habit of carrying their quarry into
he tower, there to devour it at their
leisure. Pipes became DISTRACTED with
he remnants--feathers, bones, and feet
of the hawks victims, and so the
death of the marauders was decreed.
The duck hawk is not common bird,
nd ornithologists and bird lovers gen
rally do not think species so inter
,sting should be forced to extinction,
sven though it does kill few game
birds. The bird lovers argued that if
Filling game were to be made capital
pffense, good many men would suffer.
There was a protest against the killing
If the hawks, and they were spared.
The postoffice department building is
'ituated at one of the busiest corners
N Washington, but the fact that the
building is in the city has been pro-
lection to the birds. 1t is not unusual
10 see them shoot by the windows of
he higher office structures as they go
their way to the hunting grounds.
The first assistant postmaster general
IS an ornithologist, and the chances are
