The most significant feature of the blast furnace

the cases which the Public Service ComussIon dis
missed last week the ground that l0-cent fare
Coney Island justified on Saturdays. Sun
days and holidays told the commission yesterday
that he would lodge complaint against the custom
of charging 20 cents ordinary week days The
commission Ein entertain his complaint. and from
the opinion rendered in tie other case il seems
entirely probable that scent rate to and from
Coney Island viii be charged ali days save
Saturdays. Sundays and holidays
Il think il is outrage that the company
should charge 10 Coney Island at any
slime said Monheirner. yesterday They well
afford carry people 10 Coney Island for cents
and they ought do it. I don't propose TO give up

BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

Here is a Jap with a record. His
name is Sato Krisima. His record is
buttoning 500 buttons in one minute
and thirty-three seconds. He is ready
to meet all corners at Button, Button,
Who's Got the Button?' for any kind
of a match from 500 buttonholes up, no
brass knuckles allowed.
Sato Krisima was not always a but
toner He was Lee Shubert's valet de
chambre. He is a Jap, and like most
Japs, is extremely deft with his fingers.
ing rehearsed it ran into a trap right
away on account of Miss Mabel Barri-
sons button gown. Clyde Fitch, with a
stroke of humOr unusual even for him.
managed to arrange the scenes so that
Miss Barrison had to change into this
gown in less than two minutes. On the
first rehearsal Annette, Miss Barrison's
maid, worked her faithful fingers black
and blue, but three minutes was the
best she could do. They called in an
extra maid, but the two girls took even
longer than one alone.
Mr.. Fitch was besought to change the
time of the action so that Miss Barri-
son could have at least three minutes,
but he was obdurate. Two evenings be-
fore the premiere Miss harrison said to
Mr.. Shubert:
Il simply can't get that dress but
toned inside of two minutes, and that's
all there is to il. No maid can button
500 buttons that quick"
"Ten you what" said Mr.. Shubert,
TN lend you Sato. my valet. He is the
quickest man alive today"
Sato was presented to Miss harrison
and expressed himself as humbly de-
lighted to button the $500 HOnOra BILE
buttons on the Honorable gown of the
