NEWS AND VIEWSOF
OLD NEW YORK TOWN
A Pine Dream.
BY elsFeuernscy.

A Pipe Dream.
A pleasant press agents pipe dream
which nas been published in nearly
every newspaper IN the United States,
Delaware and foreign parts deals
with the experience of a gentle old
lady from the country who was visit
ing in New York. According to this
veracious tale, the consuming ambi-
ton of the aged woman was to dine
at the Jimdor1-Hysteria Hotel. I'm
fortunately she possessed only SO
cents, and that sum, while il might
serve for tip, would hardly make
any great inroads on a Jimdorf-Hys-
terra bill of fare.
Confiding her desires to the genial
general manager of the hotel-who is
always hanging about. anxious to lis
ten to the tales OF the hungry but
mpoyerished-that worthy gentle
man Immediately assured her that
the sum she possessed would be quite
adequate So the gentle old lady
from upstate was seated at the best
table in the dining room, and served
with everything on the. menu, from
soup to nuts. all for % cents. And
the waiter refused a tip.
Now, that is a nice story, a very
excellent yarn, and l am no icono-
clast, that / would willingly deny
that it is a veracious record of actual
facts. Yet a few days ago / saw an
aged woman, clad In shabby black
dress, enter the corridor of a famous
New York hotel and overheard her
ask for something to eat. Did the
solicitous clerk escort her TO the din
ing room? Not noticeably. He threat
ened to call a policeman, and a bell
boy escorted the aged woman, none
too gently TO the street.
Its that yarn sent out by the press
agent OF big hotel that caused all
the trouble explained the clerk.
to New York thinks she can spring a
story that will get her free feed at
any of the best hotels, and we are
constantly pestered by them. They
are almost as bad as the hotel shop

Tine hotel shoppers?" inquired,
interrogatively.

heard Of them? They are home

fifteen-a-Week clerks who live in Har-
lem and Brooklyn flats. bat who
drift in Aere with a great flourish of
trumpets and announce haughtily
that they wish to look at some of our
! 5est apartments. They. spend an hour
or two sightseeing about the hotel.
and then decide that our shack is
hardly up to their standard. They
have an eye on a thousand-a-week
apartment at the st. Vitus, but If
that has been taken, they may come
back. But they: never do. With
some women, hotel shopping is a
habit, and we've got next to these
chronies. But there is always a new
crop springing up. and in the aggre-
gate they cost lot In the time given
them by employees"

Toxic. April 2S.--Ugly charges of
treachery against the makido's occi-
dental ally are heard everywhere in
Japan because of the attitude of the
British In regard to the japanese pro-
tectorate in Korea and their subse-
quent monopolization of the trade In
that country and Msnchuria.
Threats that Japan will also attempt
to absorb much of England's Indian
and Australian trade are heard here.

behind the investigation that England
is now carrying on as to trade condi-
tlons in the far east 1t is well known
in Japan that English merchants
openly sympathlse with the Chinese
in their boycott on japanese trade.

NEW BUILDINGS
FOR NORMAL
PLANS FOR STRUCTURES
COSTING ABOUT $4,000.
President French Says They Will BE
Needed TO House Departments Al
ready in Existence or TO BE Created
by Passage of Bill by Congress
Training school. Domestic Science,
Manual Training and Agricultural
Laboratories.

Preliminary plans for two new
buildings desired by the Weston nor
mai are now being prepared according
to President II. c. Grench, who came
down last evening to attend the boos-
ter mass meeting and was an interest
ed spectator at the gathering.
The two buildings, says President
French, will be needed by tile school
to house departments that are now
already in existence or will be created
upon the passage Of the Wilson bill
now before congress.
one of the buildings is being de-
signed for the training department
and for the agricultural laboratories,
while the other one is wanted for
the domestic science and manual
neutrality-suspicious..
II the measure now before congress
becomes a law the normal schools
will be given funds with which to es-
tabish courses that will give training
in agricultural science and domestic
economy The measure is fathered
by the department or agriculture,
which desires to see those subjects
taken up more thoroughly in the
public schools, and to that end now
desires normal students instructed
along those lines.
According to President French the
two buildings that will be needed by
his school will cost in the vicinity of
$4,000, and the next legislature will
be asked to appropriate money for
their construction.
At present the normal schools are
under the control of a general board
of regents and there is also a visiting
board which has the duty of inspect
ing the schools and seeing the charac-
ter of work being done. At the next
session of the legislature these boards
will have reports that will largely de-
termne what legislation shall be
enacted and IT is believed that the
normal schools will be freed
from the embarrassment with which
they met last session.

clares In his message: But when la
Dor undertakes in an unlawful man
ner to prevent the distribution and

This very bold declaration Is made
on the eve Of presidential campaign
and nominating convention in which
the presidents tavorite candidate hat
already been severely attached as a
foe of labor.
This morning, the enemies Of Taft
declare that despite the strong stand
the president takes against law
breaking corporations and his evident
desire to restrict the power of the in
junction. labor will view the message
as less favorable 10 them than they
had hoped.
The president advocated a national
incorporation law and declared there

THIS subject as "occasional' and in
