 It is marvellous thing this pine grove, and promises to mark decided depar- ture in the matter of playgrounds for the children and breathing places for all the residents of Manhattan
 You go up to the roof of the great hotel. Below you are liveried servants, busy pa- irons and throbbing machinery keeping the breath in the large hostelry. It is civilization at his highest fever heat.
 As you step out of the elevator you are dazzled Surely this Is not New York? You think you are dreaming. You might as we'll be as far from the madding crowds as in 8 Maine forest. That pine odor up there in the fresh air yester- day was going miles for.
 The trees-nearly 400-are real pine trees. They are growing in rock-concealed tubs. just like they do on some hillside up north. Beneath them and in cozy little nooks bowers and resting places are erected. Everything is quiet.
 The hotel has provided steamer rugs and capes, and the guests spend much time up there. They looked around lazily yesterday and from some fragrant bower viewed the harbor and the boats.
 Children were playing in and around. Maids were walking in the sweet air with infants.
 In the center of the roof the magnif- cent sun parlor Is erected. It might be a room modelled from the description of a castle in some fairy tale. Everything is green and fresh. The sun parlor is en-

Of other days and she has lost her step with her perspective.
 Not the recall and the referendum, nor constitutional amendment, nor the su- pfenIe court, nor an edict from Tammany Hall, rcr government by commission, nor the Emmanuel movement, nor rhythmic breathing, nor sexless suffrage can bring back to town the housekeeping of 40 years ago. Somewhere amid rural shades and exclusions old ways may finger and seem still part of the age. Not so where gas stoves and composite dwell ings multiply and where more and more expands the city of time-consuming dis tancts. Not so where the cellarsS of homo have given place to the markets and green grocers' shops around the corner and where the milk comes up the dumb walter shaft.
 One may reflect with respect but not with regret upon the housekeeping Of 40 years ago. Speaking for the general, 1t never brought a. tithe of the luxury to the humble or the convenience to the rich which are tho fruit of today's domestic devices.

 Many guests of the Waldorf have for saken the streets as a place to take their exercise. Instead they promenade up and down and around the pine grove. It is like walking through some fine old woods up in the real pine country. The air is bracing. and a ten-mnute walk there is better than an hours promenade on the dirty streets.
 supposing all those buildings had pine forests on their roofs? What a boon it would be to tired clerks and workingmen of every description. They would not have to go out on the hot streets on a sweltering day for their meals They could dine in a pretty little corner shaded by real trees growing They could loll in the bracng air for their lunch hour.
 Each building could accommodate many hundreds of children The watchful wom- ep of the Fairgrounds association would be glad to give their services.

Doctor CaUed-Husband
Finds Her Dead.
CORONER DEEMS 1T NECESSARY

Under circumstance which cause Coroner
Heatey to deem a rigid investigation neces-
sary. Mrs. Ethel Albright, 80 years Of age
and the wife Of David Albright, an employe
at the Union Pacific shops, was found dead
in bed Thursday morning at $40 O'Clock.
The use OF patent nerve medicine and
settler powders, the drinking OF some milk
Wednesday evening and the failure to call
a physician during the wpman's illness Of
four or five weeks, lead to the idea that
some II not all of the three circumstances
may be at least partly responsible for Mrs.
Albright's death.
A post norton examination Of the body
will be made this afternoon and Conorer
Heafey says he will also conduct an in
quest.
Mrs. Albright lived with her husband at
1922 North Sixteenth street and had lived
in Omaha for about seven years. They
had no children. Mrs. Julia Murheid also
occupied the same house.
According to the. coroner's statement Of
Mrs. Murheid's account Of the case, made
Thursday morning. the patent nerve medi-
cine has been taken daily by Mrs. Albright
for some time. No one saw her take any
Of the medicine Wednesday. but she took
two settler powders in the evening. Some
milk that she drank about the Bsme time
made her violently sick, but no doctor was
called.
At $40 Thursday morning Albright found
her dead in bed. An examination OF the
body by Coroner Heafey gave possible In
dcations that consumption or dropsy, or
both. may have been the original trouble,
