again on March 25.

APPROACHING EVENTS
 IMPORTANT ID SHIPPERS
Why BaIke's Big Curio Store Is the
 Place for Easter Gifts.

There are two events that are rap idly approaching. and they have some thing to do with each other. One is Easter and the other is the time for the departure of R L. Bake. of Balke's Big Curio Store, on his European trip.
 The latter event offers an oppor- tunity to purchasers of Eastern gifts that they have never had before. for the Big CuriO Store has thrown prices to the winds. There is a large stock at the Big Curio Store from which to make selections and for visitors who are about to take their departure after a winters residence, nothing would be more highly appreciated than some ar ticle which would remind them of their residence.
 There is the Mexican filigree or drawn work, consisting of bracelets. jewel boxes, watch fobs and other ar

While it may seem somewhat para doxical for clergymen to demand that saloons be allowed to remain open on Sundays, that is exactly what is talk ing place here. The movement indeed has already developed so far that a bill legalizing such a course has been introduced at Albany which has the backing not only of ministers in gen. eral. but of the famous Committee of Fourteen itself This committee, made up of prominent church men and workers for civic betterment, was originally organized for the sup
 precision of the so-called Raines law hotels" and its investigations in this field have forced on its members the conclusion that to permit drinking places to open under certain restric
 tions for a part of the day on Sunday is the proper solution of the question and far preferable to the present plan under which it is common knowledge that the saloons keep open in viola tion of the law. By legaliZing this opening the committee expects to ac- complish several things. First of all. it would be possible to put out of business the disreputable resorts where drinks are served Sundays and week days alike. now encouraged by the liquor law of the state. The pro- posed innovation, it is believed, would also confine liquor selling to the more respectable class Of places. since the producers of 59 per cent of the beer consumed in New York have for some time been in agreement with the committee to cooperate for the betterment of existing conditions. By legaliZing Sunday selling, too, the chance of police graft from extOrtion of money for protection would be

 the transformation of this city which | is now nearing completion-a total to
 be compared only to the number who suffered a similar fate in the recent
 Italian earthquake. These figures will
 be doubled. it is asserted, before the
 new New York. structurally speaking. is achieved. The destruction of homes
 has been confined to no locality. nor
 has it come as the result of any one
 event Every big undertaking has contributed its quota of persons who have in many cases literally had | their homes pulled down about their
 heads. To make room for the ap- proach of the new Manhattan bridge. now nearing completion. the destruc- | ton of the homes of 2.0O0 families
 has been necessary and the wrecking
 of the tenements along the lines of approach have made 10000 persons homeless. More than 2,0O0 persons were driven from their homes to make
 way for the approach to the new Williamsburg bridge. In place of the former narrow tenement lined street there is now a wide parkway. The
 new s25.0OO.O0O Pennsylvania terminal swept away the homes of 15,000 per sons who inhabited four square
 blocks. The new building, however. will have space to accommodate twenty times that number. or S00.000. and if pushed to its greatest capacity will be able to handle 146.000.000 every year. The erection of the new
 Grand Central terminal. which be-
 fore it is finished will cost close to

 sons of their homes. Almost every new office building and manufactur-
 ing plant erected means a further en- croachment of business upon resi- dence territory and Manhattan is all ready so crowded that most of those evicted by this process must go to other boroughs or to the suburbs. Altogether. New York's continuous building quake is quite as great a wrecker of homes as any quake which nature can produce.

Whether it is due to a falling off in
 his taste for literature, or because of business reasons. Father Knicker-
 booker has lost one record, and worst
 of all. from his point O. view. to the
 city of Chicago. New York. once the
 great magazine publishing center of
 the country, must now take second place. since the latest figures show that the Windy City has outstripped it in this respect. Woman's World. the Chicago magazine which has the
 largest circulation of any in the United States, which means on earth,
 the figure being over 2.00O,OOO. ships every year more than 5,O0O.00O pounds of it's publication. In the face of figures like these Father Knicker- booker can only fall back on the fact that he still has a larger number of publications, even though their circu- lation is smaller. Perhaps he has only his business methods to blame for the fact that the magazine pub fishing record is no longer his. A
 great factor in that business here. as in a good many other fields of busi-
 ness, has been to increase capitaliZa- tion as fast as possible. with the re-
 suit that the total capital of three leading magazines published here with a combined circulation of 1.400.-
 900 is many times greater than that
 of the Chicago publication with it's
 1000. 900 readers. which started with
 the investment of sl.000 and has
 grown from the profits to a $2,5OO,OO0 concern with annual net earnings of s6OO, ,0OO. Here such earnings would
 be more highly capitalized, meaning
 smaller returns, and it is therefore
 largely due to Father Knickerbocker's
 love for big figures that investors
 have given the impetus to the pub
 fishing business in the west which
 has robbed him of his literary laurels.

Sixteen voyages across the Atlantic on an investment of one nickel would seem to be a somewhat incredible achievement. but that is just what the prize trouble maker of the local i'm migration authorities has accomplish ed. Benjamin Axelrod is the name of the precocious youth. who, starting from his Russian home some years ago with the equivalent of just five pennies, has kept Commissioner Watchorn busy deporting him ever since. No less than seven times has he reached Ellis Island, the emigrant station. as a stowaway, and no less than seven times. has he been sent back. The last time the commis- sioner. who apparently does not ad- mire persistency, warned Benjamin that he would never again be al lowed to set foot on American soil. That occurred in February, 1908, and since nothing was heard of the prize stowaway for more than q year, MT. Watchorn was lulled in the happy belief that Benjamin had finally de sisted in his attempts to reach this country. No such idea had occurred to Benjamin. however. Repeated ialI- ure had simply made him more cir cumpect and the commissioners hap py belief was rudely shattered this week by a telegram from the authori- ties at Montreal. advising him that Benjamin was there and wanted to cross the border In his reply. the To- cal commissioner strongly intimated that if Canada desired to continue e-i,,,ll,. reiatious with the United States Reniamin must not be per mitted to leave Montreal, except for his native country. But the eighth failure will hardly balk Benjamin and he will doubtless try again. since ne says that he likes the voyages any how. He is strong in the belief that if he had a pair of long trousers he would be admitted, holding that he IS barred because MT. Watchorn thinks he's a kid"
