New York. Sep. 4--It has been fre- quently remarked that there is more business done over the luncheon table in New York than in the busy office. and this Is becoming more and more true with the rapid increase in the number of luncheon clubs that are being formed in the downtown dis trict.
 There is club for nearly every line of business and the name is generally taken from the occupation in which the majority of the members engage. There Is a fashionable Railroad Club for railroad officials; the Hardware Club for hardware men; and so on with such names as the Druggists, Chemists. Lawyers and Publishers Clubs. Of course some of the clubs choose other names such as the. City Lunch Club. which is situated on the roof of a twenty-five story building which makes 1t one of the most enjoy able places to dine fin the city. At these different clubs men gather about o'clock and 1t is often nearly 4 before the last of them depart for their offices. Over their coffee and cigars they discuss some big business scheme and the custom is becoming so general In New York that when man has some proposition to offer, he invites the one he would interest out to lunch con, and there they spend several hours In going over the details. It Is very seldom nowadays in New York that one sees the sign placed on an office door, that is so common In other cities. Out to lunch, return in ten minutes"
 Possibly New Workers are little slower in naming their children after the Presidential nominees than people In other sections of the country, but the fashionable hotels are not slow in getting the names on the-bill of fare with a good stiff price after 1t. One of the favorite deserts which has been invented by a chef in one of the swell restaurants on Fifth Avenue is Melon a la Taft. The new dish is not, as might be imagined. built up from the biggest melons coming to market, but consists of only an ordinary cantaloupe cut in halves and filled with sliced peaches and maraschino. It has not yet rivaled the fame of those other cantaloupe connections bearing the names of Lillian Russell and Admiral Schley, but those who have the price. at 50 cents per, pronounce 1t win- her.
 There is an attractive young lady In Gotham who models cloak models. It is good business too, for there are about a thousand hne-hgured pret-, ty faced girls in New York who make a living donning and dofflng tiuffs and ruffies for the edificatfon of the buyers at big dry goods stores. The proprie- tor of the New Mode Factory" is Miss Alice christal, andN she runs things in a business-like way. Her real work is to train the young ladies who wish to be cloak models to &C., quire that grace and temperament nec- essary to show off an $S skirt so it will look like a creation of Paquin's when they put 1t on. Miss Christal has a busy factory for the positions of cloak models are attractive ones pay ing anywhere from $15 to $35 week. It Is no unusual thing to hear a pro- prietor of cloak house call up the Model Factory" and say, Send me over a S6 and 3S, and a tall one for skirts" The figures. of course, refer to girls with that bust measure.

To Re Remembered When visiting.


 The girl who goes to other peoples houses as a guest, either for a fort night or a weekend. should be careful about remembering certain things. She does not want her hostess to hope, at her departure. that she will never come again. If you are the guest. observe these rules:
 Be puncutual at meals.
 Don't make engagements until you consult your hostess.

 Do not fail to provide your own writ ing paper, stamps and pen.
 Attend to your own laundry and be prompt about paying for 1t.

 Don't play the piano while the chill dren are taking a nap.
 Don't stay beyond the day set for your departure unless something unus- ual happens and the hostess urges 1t. Take half hour every morning for putting away your clothes and strengthening your room. Don't leave everything to the housemaid.-

STRAY TOPICS FROM
 LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

pressario, who startled Gotham last year by starting rival opera house. has just sprung d new one on would be Melbas and Tetrazinnis who would fill his oh horus this winter. The new method of selecting singers Is de- seribed as the painless system" but it caused a lot of worry and discomfort to the applicants who expected to startle the operatic world with their efforts.
 Before each aspirant Is asked to run the various scales a throat specialist examines her vocal appurtenance and before she is put to the test MT. Ham merstein has a fair idea as to what the future may bring out in the way of a prima donna. A record of the medical examination of each girl is kept on a card and of the first lot who were examined only one had perfect vocal cords.
 Up in the Bronx, where the moving picture shows, are intensely popular aud where the rivalry is keen, the greatest question has been how to get rid of the many children who come and stay for hours at a time. In some of the places there Is always a crowd in the afternoons. and the question of having room is a pressing one. With the youngsters occupying the seats at all performances for the price of one the box office receipts naturally suf- fer. one man. whose place is near Prospect and Third avenues, has solved the problem. He bought Q time stamp. and every ticket purchased Is stamped with the time 1t is sold. These tickets are now taken up at the door. Every once in g while man goes about and examines the children's &f-T. lT...-. |. enough to allow for a whole perform don't go. and on more than one oc- casion a small struggling form has been carried from the place.

 The public schools of New York will cost the city next year $33.750,00o, or more than $7,0o0,000 in excess of this years expenditures. The $7,00o,00o ad- ditional needed for 1908 includes the $3,000,000 with which to raise the sal- aries of the teachers, as decided upon by the board at its meeting, and the remaining $4.000,000 to cover the ad- ditonal expenses caused by the natural growth of the system. Considerably more than 25,000 pupils are added to. the school rolls each year, new huild- ings are being opened, effort is being made to reduce the number of pupils on part time, and new courses of study. including trade schools, are be- ing developed.

Back to Pasta Jewels.

Newport Special to New York Times.
 Paste jewels. which are replicas of the originals. are again being worn during the evenings at the larger affairs here.
 For twenty years there have been many fine pieces of jewelry lost. and some of these have found their way back without the assistance of the police. but there are still many valuable jewels which have new CT been located, notably those lost by Mrs. ney.
 Several seasons ago Mrs. Perry Belmont lost a magnificent sunburst of diamonds which loss was reported to the police. The late Chief of Police, Benjamin H. Richards. responding to the call of Mrs. Belmont at her cottage just at sun set one day. when he on the road of the driveway the missing jewel. called on him for TskinR the tewsI from his pocket he handed 1t to her.

 This remedy is commonly called Rengo The rate at which this remedy will reduce fat and do it harmlessly and surely is tru- iy remarkable. A pound day is ordinarily the loss recorded, being done by compelling perfect assimilation of the food. and send Ing the nutrtment where 1t belongs.

covernment own. Telegraphs.

The unwisdom of the Chinese Gov ernment in taking over at the present time the system of telegraphs which now covers the province with net work of communication is leading topic of discussion and criticism In Chinese society.
 Most persons agree that the forced transfer of the telegraphs to the Chi nese Government is a high-handed act. and there is a strong tendency to at- tribute the desire to possess them to the fact that they have proved remu- nerative.
 1t is freely stated that the Govern ment cannot leave possi%se sources of revenune unexploited. and this aspect of the situation, it is stated, will mill itate strongly against railway. min ing and other investments for which there is at the present time pressing necessity in order to assist in the de- velopment of the country. the fear be. ing widespread that sne Government would. when such schemes were seen to be profitable, enter upon possession without proper regard to the rights of original shareholders.
 At the request of the telegraph ad- wiser of the Board of Posts and Com munications. Cheng Pi. the President of the Board. will establish a factory in Tientsin for the manufacture of all the material which. is likely to be re- quired for extensions of the telegraph system which are projected and which the impending standardization scheme will involve.
 It is expected that the new lines and extensions which are contemplated will involve 10000 miles.

Fight in a Theatre.

The Shanghai Times prints lively story from Soochow. It appears that soldiers and citizens in that district are on indifferent terms, and when four soldiers, carrying pet birds. entered theatre recently to see the play. and were asked to cover the cages, so that disturbance might not arise. they not only regarded the attendant with frtgfd stare but assaultedAhim for his lmpertinenco in making the sugges- tion.
 The servants of the theatre gathered in a body, beating the soldiers in turn, and handing over, two 70 the police. The two who were handed over were taken to the camp for punishment, but they seem to have aroused instead the sympathy of their comrades, and a hundred soldiers determined to raid the theatre on the morrow. Their de- signs became known, and 200 unem- ployed but eager men rose up on the instant to defend the theatre with their lives
 Unfortunately. the soldiers did not come on the instant, and the valor or the voluntary army oozed away. till at length the last man had gone probably inside-and when the soldiers arrived they carried the box office by storm. Having obtained entrance to the building, they set about beIaoor- ing the spectators with long sticks as a conseauence of which action the show broke up rather suddenly but no one was seriously hurt.
 After matters had quieted down, the Chinese oficials approached the scene, and made inquiry for the officer of the camp. who, 1t turned out. had just run away. In his absence, they beat the soldiers. and left them with an arrow stuck in the back Of their ears.
