The account of the papers as to
how the widow Of a wealthy ranch
owner in Nevada. who came to New
York on visit and stopped at one
of the most aristocratic hotels, found
her long lost son. reads like a chap
ter of a romance. She recognized her
son in the waiter who waited at her
table in the hotel dining room and
had no difficulty in establishing his
identity with the boy who had left
his parental home in the west to seek
his fortune on Wall street. The
| young man did not become a king,
nor even a prince Of the street and,
after he had lived a rather gay life
! for a while. he was compelled to
earn his own living. being too proud
to acknowledge his failure and to ask

AS was to be expected the use Of
| special cars for the exclusive use Of
women on subway and elevated
trains has been discontinued after
a trial of several months. The use
of these women's cars was ordered
by the traffic commissioners after a
small clique Of women had represent

= The sudden and unexpected man
ner in which John O'Neil, a young
mechanic, lost his life the other day,
shows how uncertain is mans tenure
of life. ONeil, a strong and healthy
young man was on his way home
when he was overtaken by fate. Dur
