NEW YORK, Dec, 19.-In a little book
called "A Summer in New York. written
six or seven years ago, the author has a
young lady from the west write home of
an adventure with her city cousin, thus:
'wnl took me to a place called Long
Acre square. II is a part of Broadway
which looks as If 1t had been struck by an
earthquake. a landslide and a blizzard all
at once. We climbed a pile of rocks 50

run us down had to give it up. and then
Cousin VIII began, like the man who ex-
planned the views in the panorama;
Here you see what the span of a
few brief moons is destined to be to the
known world what the Place de la Con-
corde, Paris. now is to Europe-its center.
Aye, the center of gayety, of art, of litera-
ture, drama; occidental civilization in all
fits moods. In the near future here We
shall find transportation uneQualled,
views unsurpassed, climate glorious, So
ciety various, fresh eggs and milk in
abundance, theaters, hotels, policy shops.

pls to seat a city full, repositories OF

The author should be-in fact he is
proud to see with what a prophetic UNI
derstanding he wrote OF Long Acre so few
years ago when It was the most hope

ramshackle buildings. IL not then, Ger.
tainly a few years before 1t was the

PrOphesy Came True.
The whimsically worded forecast of the
Acre has more than come true. There are
mere theaters, hotels, restaurants and
clubs In the neighborhood than even were

or elsewhere.
Not that the Astor is without Acreage
characteristics. SO to speak. Attractive
show girls may be seen there In quiet
company and wholly on their good be-
havior. Also David Belasco, David War

seem to find satisfactory nourishment in
the ~yictuals of the Aston and may be seen

quently seen, in New York fifteen years
ago than now. Society may be a little less
conventional there than elsewhere; but it
is none the less fashionable in part at
least, for If you haunt the Acre much you
discover that the same individuals seen
earlier in the night at other Acre recorts
are supping again at ChurchiI's later In
the night.
Patrons circulate about more freely,
they drink to each other with something
more moist than eyes, from table to table.
The late men patronize the place freely;
men who have been working late find a
welcome relaxation there, and even some
of the women of exalted place in the pro-
fession may go to Churchill's with a friend
later, tina is, after passing the shank of
the evening, from midnight to, say, l or 2
o'clock in other restaurants.
Late at Night.
And at about that hour, that is, some
time after midnight, another class of res
taurants in the Acre are crowded with
patrons: restaurants where some kind of
meal may be had for 10 cents, and where
the patrons are glad to have the price.
They have seen better days most of them,
| at least brighter days, and no doubt many
have dined where a $50 upper was as COM
mon as a Decent supper is where fortune
sends them to sup now.
Tho edges of the district retain their
faithful patrons; over on Sixth avenue in
Jacks and Burns, tables are crowd ID
with men and women who assert that
only there can they get the kind of sup
per they like. None of the newer fancy
dishes of the Acre, itself, for them.
And still you note, as you did when as a
very young man you first supped at

SPAIN HAS A DRUcE CASE.

Madrid.-Just before his death q
few years ago, the marquis de Campo,
the well-known proprietor Of the
transatlantic steamship line known as
Campo & Co., which ran a service 10
India, the Philippines, Japan and the
United States, made a will leaving his
property to his son, who, he stated
also, vas his natural son and heir, and
was to take his fathers title upon his
majority. Until he reached that major
ity the youths interests were to be
looked after by Senior Macias, a
wealthy and honorable gentleman.
When the present marquis de Cam
po entered into possession of his title
and property, two claimants appeared,
who declared that they were the
rightful heirs. Senior Macias sided
with them (they are ,Frenchmen by
birth), saying that they had shown
him documents proving their claim.
Actions were taken simultaneously in
France and Spain. The French au-
thorities dismissed the case, but the
Spanish tribunal admitted the demand
for an inquiry on account of certain
letters brought forward and the evil
dence of some witnesses.
The marquis de Campo has de-
nounced Senior Macias, alleging that
the latter is trying to rob him Of his
rightful Inheritance. Many sensation
