Whether from the effects Of these

trates got lost. True, he turned up
again, but for several days he was lost
as completely as Charley Ross In the
meantime his wife died, and he knew
nothing about 1t until he returned to
Manhattan Island. Then he said he
had been at Asbury Park and had not
read the New York papers. Now. AS

religious resort. aud what there Is
down there that would not only lose
man to the world, but make him
cease reading the papers and cause
him to remain in ignorance even Of the
death Of his wife. Is mystery that
needs clearing up. The only probable
explanation Is that the religious atmos-
phere Of Asbury Park seemed so I'M
usual to New York police magistrate
that 1t stupefied and confused him
until he needed many days to recover
and to regain his mental bearings.
A New York millionaire recently
died. and two women claimed the body.

this case Is used adylsedly. Moral

There are three new subway plans
before the city. that Of the public serv.
ice board. that Of the traction. trust
and that Of the Bradley Ga nney-S Steers
company. It Is now up to the board
Of estimate, which apparently has no
plan unless It be to prevent the adop-
ton Of any other plan. At present the
board Of estimate Is on an extended
vacation, which causes the committee
Of one hundred to grow sarcastic and
say real mean things. among others be-
ing the assertion that the relief Of
the travelling public IL more important
than summer vacations. Late In the
fall the board of estimate will prob
ably return; then 1t will deliberate, and
along about 1912 1t will take action.
This may be a rapid age, but its rapid
ity has never been communicated to
the board Of estimate.
