Why Whittall " Anglo
Persian" and " Arabic
Rugs Rival The Oriental
in Beauty and Wear.

The yarns of which both Oriental
and Whittall Rugs are made come from
the same SourceS-Persia and the Hima-
layas. The designs of Whittals Anglo
Persian" and Arabic" Rugs include many
faithful copies of famous Eastern rugs; the
dyes for Whittall Rugs are the equals,
perhaps because scientifically made, the
SuperiOrs of the Oriental
Practically the only difference be-
Anglo-Persian and Arabic, and Oriental
Rugs is in the manner of making Orient
al Rugs are made by human fingers, with
their proneneSS to err, while steel fling

no variation, weave the Anglo-Persian and

But, when it comes TO price, there's
a decided difference between these Rugs
and Orental-the Whittall, with all their
beauty and durability, cost but one-tenth
of the price of the Oriental.

STRAY TOPICS FROM
LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

NEW YORK,-Usually the excite
ment incident to every campaign and
general election in New York is fol
lowed by reaction which, by con.
trast with the previous turmoil and
noise, makes things appear decidedly
tame. But there was no such abate
ment of excitement after the election
of last week. The big strike with
its daily trouble supplied excitement
enough to satisfy the sensation crav-
ing citizens.
From time immemorial it has been
the custom after every election for
the defeated side to hold what might
be called a post-mortem, ito ascertain
the cause or causes OF their defeat
Since the election of last week the
Republican politicians OF New York
have been extremely busy in explain
ing why their gubernatoria1 candidate
Stimson was defeated. Col. Roose-
welt was blamed most generally for
the Republican Waterloo, but many
politician, although admitting that Col.
Roosevelt had something to do with
the result of the election, expressed
the opinion that score of other caus-
es had contributed to the defeat. But
one wise man came to the conclusion
and that Mr.. Stimson was defeated
because there are thirteen letters in
his name and because there are thir-
teen offices on the ballots.
The other afternoon there was a
street fight between ticket specula.
tors in front of the Alhambra thea
tire on Seventh avenue and 126th ST.,
which became SO vicious that the po-
lice reserves had to be ordered out to
quell the disturbance. The driver OF
coal wagon stopped his team near
the scene of the trouble and watched
the fight with great interest Sudden.
ly he noticed that not far from his
wagon another storm center had de.
veloped. Men and boys fell all over
one another in their frantic attempts
to pick up dollar bills and silver coins
scattered over the street. The second
scrap was even more amusing and
the driver upon his elevated seat on
the coal wagon. laughed until his sides
ached. Not until ne reached the office
of his employers did the man discover
that leather Pouch. which had con-
tanned 1858, his days collections, had
dropped out OF his pocket while te
had watched the street fight and that
# had been the contents of his hag
the men and boys had been scrambling
for.

has exceeded the best camps of the
west, as have been proven by many

new strikes during the last few months
Durango is city OF which the peo-

lars and gold coins, which form the
bulk of the circulating medium in the
west are used SO little in the east,
particularly in New York, that there
are many thousands OF persons in
this little old city VINO have never seen
much less owned,-a silver dollar or
This fact was illustrated the other day
when a westerner, fresh from the
prairies and mountains Of the Rocky
mountain region. tried to pass new
$5 gold piece to the cashier OF one OF
tho subway stations. The cashier,
who had never seen one OF the new
gold coins, refused to accept 1t, be-
lieving it to be bogus coin. The
westerner insisted that the coin was
genuine legal tender and that the
cashier had no right to refuse 1t. Soon
score of persons were surrounding
the cashiers booth, demanding tick
cts. but the westerner held his ground
and blocked the way. The gold piece
was shown to every one, but not one
single person in the crowd could state
with certainty whether the coin was
really an American S. gold piece OF
not.
To characterize the dishonest pro
pensities of certain individuals it has
often been said that they would ever
steal red hot stove. At the same
time nobody really ever thought thai
any thief. no matter how great his Gu
pidity, would ever think of carrying
off red hot stove. And yet,-a mar
was arrested the other day in Hoboker
charged with having carried off q
red hot stove. What makes the story
even more interesting is the fact that
the man charged with purloining the
red hot stove was special policeman
and that the place from which the
stove was removed, was the Second
precinct of the police station at Hobo
ken.
Unless the city manages to scare up
few dollars all the thirty-two clocks
in the city's official buildings in the
Bronx will stop their ticking and the
residents of that section of the city
will remain in ignorance of the Official
time. Owing to the lack of funds 1t
became necessary to discharge the Of
ficial clock winder, who has held his
position for several years and received
so cents per week for every one of the
clocks. AS the keys for winding the
clocks are in his possession and he
has refused to give them up, the clocks
will remain unwound unless the city
can find way of reinstating the Off
cial winder
