EASY VICTIMS OF BLACKMAIL.
When Royalty Is Indiscreet There Is
Generally Nothing to Do But
Pay Up.

In spite of all precautions no one
more readily falls a victim to the
blackmailer's snare than a member of
a royal house. If the blackmailer has
the faintest shadow of a hold it is
impossible to fight it out in court and
the unhappy prince must grin and
pay it.
The German crown prince is the lat
est victim. When he was at Ploen col
lege he struck up friendship with a
young German noble, Count Hochberg,
who was also student at Ploen. The
friendship was kept up after college
days were over, and for some time
letters were exchanged regularly.
The count fell on evil days and had
to emigrate to America, where he be-
came chauffeur to a man named
Barnes. After some time he dropped
his own name and, having adopted
that of Barnes, vanished from the
sight and hearing of his friends.
Recently he has eappeared-with
the crown princes letters. These he
threatens to publish unless his i'm
perial highness cares to buy them.
The princes attitude resembles that
of the duke of Wellington in a similar
situation: Publish and be hanged"
He says there is nothing in the letters

SSVU HAT is your totem?' is the lat
w est question in Washington
swaggerdom, and if you cannot answer
offhand the inference is you have been
dead to the world of fashion for at
least two weeks.
Nowadays, in lieu of the familiar
monogram and the banal crest and
the erstwhile much coveted coat-of-
arms, society DANES and damsels, tax
ing the cue from the aboriginal ma
tives of the country, go out to the
fields and, selecting whatever bug or
bird or beast strikes their fancy,
promptly pre-empt it as their totem"
The pendulum has swung the other
way, and society with a golden halo
has elected to become America of
The Americans. If, for instance, but
terf1y is chosen as the totem, then
milady proceeds to have it embossed
On her note paper and to have it
embroidered on her dainty lace
trimmed lingerie. Delicately cut out

handbag, and to her card case, while
A whir of wings flashes across the gilt

THE Metropolitan hotel, for more
l than a century southern headquar-
,ers at the national capital, with
history almost as long as that of the
city itself, has closed its doors for
want of a new tenant The last pro-
orietors did not ask for a renewal of
their lease because of the loss in
traffic caused by the demolition of the
Did Pennsylvania railroad station,
and the diversion of transients to
points nearer the new Union terminal.
AS the Indian Queen Tavern, the
raffic center of the old stage-coach
laws. the hotel began its career at the
ime of the administration of Thomas
Jefferson. From the courtyard in
ront of the old building the Baltimore
nd philadelphia coaches started each
morning, and thrice week a coach

frederick, Cumberland and Pittsburg.

WASHINGTON.- is so
w cially deserted village" these
days. Drawn shades and boarded
front doors are the features of all the
uptown streets and are so general

Lieut.. u. S. Grant to Be Busy cantor,

Lieut.. Grant married not long ago
the daughter of Senator Root of New
York. Since that time he has been
stationed in Boston in the engineer
department. Under the law a member
of the engineer corps must superin-
tend the state, war and navy building.
This is, without exaggeration, the
largest office building in the world. 1t
extends from Pennsylvania avenue to
the Oval and from Executive avenue
almost all over town. Branches of
the enormous building can be found
on almost any street within mile.
The state, war and navy building
in itself is enough care for an or
binary man, but there are also the an
nexes, which are arranged without
any consideration for the convenience
of the superintendent.

Sometimes it is the window or an

sent to play on a roof which appar-

Sometimes an awning breaks the

fell from the third floor of his home

Georgia avenue, Brooklyn, fell from
window of the third story of his
home and landed on his feet, prac-
tically unhurt- Clothes lines had
caught him and, after holding him
suspended in the air moment,
dropped him lightly to the pavement.
What saved two-year-old Peter Geb-
hardt when he fell from the fourth
floor of his home at No. 440 West
Thirty-ninth street no one will ever
know. There were neither clothes
lines, awnings nor anything visible to
save him. Yet, notwithstanding, he
landed on the sidewalk unframed. An
ambulance surgeon failed to find even
so much as scratch on the little
fellow.

Mrs. Perry Belmont's delicately per-
fumed notes from Paris are surmount-
ed by a great, big, buzzing bee of gold,
his quivering wings poised for flight.
Miss Mathilde Townsend's totem looks
like a giant mosquito, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh have for their
totem bird built on hieroglyphic
lines. The bird, which looks much
like young robin with bill tightly
closed and neck considerably longer
than the usual, perched on the Walsh
note paper, and also on the Walsh
cards of invitation, is sometimes dull
blue, sometimes gray on gray papers.
and again it comes in glowing gold,
and yet again in cleaning silver.
Just outside the entrance to the
Walsh mansion the bird shows up in
the form of a clipped tree of dwarf
box. The Walsh totem has addi-
tional significance when it is remem-
bered that the Walsh millions were
dug out of the famous Camp Bird
mine, near Auray, Col.
Mrs Taft on her stationery uses the

teen stars-and similar die is used

that trade almost exclusively and
enjoyed the patronage of practically
half the southern congressional dele

Its broad, low ceiled lobby filed
with broad hated frock coated men
was far more suggestive of Memphis
or New Orleans than of the northern
cities. The bar was always famous
for it's juleps, toddies and sherry cob
blers.
Bob Callahan, the retiring prorrie-
tor, found recently among the ar
chives of the house bill made out
for one of the guests of the early
days-one Dougherty. Mr. Callahan
called attention to the fact that in
1915 the jumping of board bill was
as popular a pastime with a certain
class of customers as it is in the
twentieth century. Mr. Dougherty
had run up bill of $497.75, mostly
for toddies and juleps. It shows
single credit of $50. The proprietor
of the Indian Queen had the unsettled
bill framed. The price of a toddy
in 1915 was two for a quarter.

the building. She was standing on
the fire-escape watching her papa
down in the yard below when she
lost her balance. What was more
natural than for her to call to her
papa to catch her? And he did it!
Baby Helen Graf, 21-months-old
tot, who lives at No. 1857 Webster
avenue, owes her escape to two strong
little arms that her father has
boosted of all his life. She was play

of the fire escape when a misstep
sent her plunging down towards the
ground. At the fourth floor, however,
her tiny hands struck the iron rounds
of the ladder. Instinctively she
clutched one of the rounds and hung
on with all her baby might Her
mother rescued her.

Recently King Leopold of Belgium
received an anonymous letter from
Liege saying that the writer was an
accomplice in a plot to blow up the
royal palace at Brussels and to kill the
entire royal family. He demanded

foot of a certain tree in the Kinkem-
pois wood near Lege. In return he
would reveal what he knew about the
plot
The king sent messengers to the
place named with orders to place an
envelope at the foot of the tree and
then watch what happened. The
watchers had not long to wait A man
who had evidently been keeping an

out the hot weather term, such a
small-such a splendidly small-per-
centage of the accidents end fatally.
FELL DOWN THE AIRsHAFT.
For instance, there was the marvel
GUS escape of those two Brooklyn
tots, Catherine Moriarity, just past
her second birthday, and Marie Clark,
two years her elder, who live in the
five-story tenement at No. % Front
street They went to the roof one
day to play
Ring around-a-rosy'' these two were
playing, and having a lovely time
that day. They would swing around
and around until they quite lost their
balance. Then suddenly a frightful
thing happened. They swung too
close to the glass skyIght, and fell,
hand in hand. through the glass and
down the airshaft.
AS they plunged headforemost
through so feet of space to the bot
tom of the shaft their screams brought
every one in the building to the roof.
Little Marie being the heavier of the
two struck the bottom first, and her
little playmate fell on top of her, par
TALLY breaking the fall But the Un-
seen Hand had stretched out to save
Marie. A bundle of old newspapers
thrown into the shaft lay at the bot
tom between the bones of the baby
and the stone pavement.
The shaft was too small for man
to climb down and rescue the chill
dren. The windows, too, that opened
on it were mere Sits in the wall. Yet
the children must be rescued by some
one at some hour. Next door was a
firRhOuSQ and this the frantic
mothers ran. Firemen with axes and
poles hurried into the building and in
almost less time than it takes to
tell it they had torn a great hole in
the wall along the side of the shaft.
The children were lifted out and hur-
ried to the hospital. Now they are at
little scar each will carry all her life,
been hurt.
SAVED BY CLOTHES LINES.
Quite as remarkable was the escape
of Master Sammie Weintraub of No.
20 Stanton street. This tenement is
six stories high and Sammie Vein
traub fell all the way from the top
to the bottom, but six pairs of clothes
lines, all weighted down with clean
clothes, went with him, and when the
ambulance surgeon unwound the
yards and yards of clothes lines and
laundry from Sammie all they could
find as a souvenir of his tumble was
a little cut on his forehead.
Little Margaret Hart, who at the
time she took her tumble lived at No

more than ever are children exposed
to the dangers of Manhattan's hurly-
burly outdoor life.
Clang-g, Clang-gi
Round the corner the perfectly
drilled horse dashes. He heads for a
huddled crowd almost without guild
ance from the reins. If it is in the
crowded tenement district, perhaps
in his wise old head he knows just
what sort of a case is waiting for the
ministration of the young surgeon
who swings lightly from the tail of
the ambulance.
The crowd breaks, making a narrow
avenue for the surgeon His keen
eye glimpses first the figure of a
mother almost PROSTATE on the pave
ment, and beyond smaller figure,
ominously stiff.
Instinctively he glances upward to
the fire escapes, now crowded with
white-faced tenement jewellers. Which
was it-third or fourth foor?-he
wonders in that instant of crossing
the sidewalk
The surgeons examination is hur-
ried. The little white lips do not
open to tell him where it hurts The

ure would strike terror to any one
