HUNGRY MAN DEN0UNCES
DINERS AT ST. REGIS
Fashionable Folk Are Startled by
the Sudden Appearance Among
Them of Wild-Eyed
Crank

NEW YORK, Oct. PA tall old man
with gray pointed beard. bushy eye
brows and a rather haggard face stood
in Fifth avenue last evening in. front
of the Hotel St Regis. He wore
black hat and a suit of black clothing
which, while not exactly shabby. was
of a somewhat antiquated cut. Under
his left arm he hugged book. He
looked earnestly at the half hundred
diners on the terrace, stroked his beard
once or twice and then cried aloud:
Listen to me. you men and women of
idleness! Listen to one who once pos
sessed a fortune such as you are now
thoughtlessly sowing to the winds in
the neVerceasing hunt for happiness.
Once / was wealthy as any one OF you.
Once / owned a seat on the thievish
stock exchange. But they hurled me
down, stripped me of my means, and
sent me adrift into the world. And
here I am to warn you that in the midst
of your idle pleasures, when all seems
bright and secure about you, time is
surely coming when you and all like
you will tremble for what new horror
the next day may bring. / am here not
to threaten, but to warn. Look at me.
Once r
ing intently to the old nan, some with
amused indulgence and other bit ap-
prehensiVe that his remarks might
finally be punctuated by a bomb. Sew
eral touring cars had stopped, and their
occupants were listening, too. In one
of the cars was DR.. 1. l.. Hill of GIG
Madison avenue. He is man of keen
perception and quick to act He made
a rapid diagnosis of the orators case
and concluded that what that man
needed more than anything else was a
meal. The doctor jumped out of his
car. tapped the old man on the arm and
entered into earnest conversation with
him. At the conclusion of the little
talk Dr. Hill invited the stranger to
dinner, handed him into his waiting
car and hurried away.
II don't care to talk about the thing"
said Dr. Hill later. ''The old gentleman
is what he claimed to be. He undoubt-
edly was a wealthy man and lost his
fortune, and perhaps he is trifie un-
balanced mentally. But he is man of
education and refinement, and the fact
is he was famishing"

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Such was the
read in the Correspondent, published at
Toledo, Ohio. He wrote to the fair one

met and plighted their troth. Now the

suing Farrell for $4,000 damages.
charging him with breach of promise
of marriage.
She, it turns out, is Miss Helena NJ.
Scully, who lives here now. Farrell is
a hotel keeper at Deposit, Broome
county, N. Y. The fact that Miss
Scully considers herself Tilted and
wants golden salve for her bruised
heart was developed in affidavits sub
mitted to Justice Bisehoff in the SUI
preme court.
She Relied on Him
Miss Scully, in her complaint, sets
forth, somewhat tearfully, that on De-
cember 12 last Mr.. Farrell promised to
marry her, and that relying on his
promise she has remained sole and
unmarried" She says she Is still ready
and willing to wed him, but although
she has asked him often he refuses to
take her as his wife.
Farrell, in his answering affidavit,
tells of the matrimonial "ad' and of
his correspondence with Miss Helena.
She visited his mother and him at
Deposit and the future seemed rosy to
Farrell until the good cook, house
keeper and seamstress" told him she
had been exchanging letters with a
man in Los Angeles and had deter
mined to marry him because he lived
'in nicer climate" However much
Farrell suffered, he says prosaically in
his affidavit that thereupon Miss Hell
ena and he released each other from
their engagement,
She went to California; he swears, but
returned, saying she would not marry
the Los Angeles man because he
drank and was out of employment"
Coyly she sought to renew her en-
gagement with Farrell, but he repulsed
her.
Miss Helena wants the suit tried
here. Farrelrs lawyer asked Judge
Bischoff to change the venue to
Broome county There, Farrell says.
he has eleven witnesses, one of whom,
at least, will sweGr that she told him
that Farrell, who is about SO, was too
old for her.

It has been noted throughout the depression in the iron and steel trade that the demand for lighter products has kept up much better than the de mands for heavy products. says one writer. This is not a fortuitous cir cumstance. In the case of sheet mill products the persistence of demand is only chapter in a steady and rapid growth which would have attracted more general attention if Compara- tive statistics of annual production had been available. There has been an astonishing growth in output in the past eight years, and capacity is being increased at the present time Within about year, a detached plant has been built near Buffalo. a small plant has been built in eastern PennsylVania and a large plant has been built in Ohio. in connection wirh steel works already established. Some of the older sheet plants have been enlarged. There are two new sheet plants being built in Ohio and an old plant is being enlarged. the total new erection which should add to productive capacity early in the new year covering a round dozen mills, with an annual capacity of 30.00o or t40,000 gross tons of sheets.
