GIVEN UP TO TRADE.
Only the Old Guard Holds Forth
on Fifth Avenue, N. Y.
Fashionable Thoroughfare Has Been
Almost Completely Sold Out to In
vading Mercenaries-onIyF Few
Prominent Families Remain.

New York.-Imperious old Fifth
avenue has gone-not into clay, but
into trade. At Fifty-second street the
Vanderbilts, the Sloanes and the Shep-
ards, buttressed behind their massive
mansions, have been making the last
stand of the old guard against the in
Vaslon of mercenaries. But now, un-
like the old guard, they have surren-
dered, and within a year Mrs Corr
nelius Vanderbilt will have for third
door neighbor French modiste with
hne, big electric signs to enliven the
famous mansion at Fifty-soventh
street, where for years and years the
destinies of social America have been
swayed
1t is we'll within the memory of
most New Workers when Fifth avenue
from F1ftieth to Fifty-ninth street was
so exclusive that only the Knicker-
bockers could live there, whatever
their wealth. Then policemen frowned
creaseless trousers off the street. Now
folks of all classes mingle freely, and
there is only one block in all the ten
where trade has not intruded. In this
block within six months an apartment
house with promised height of some
hundreds of feet will crown the neigh
borhood
The whole story of it all is that the
"old Fifth avenue" has sold out It has
received more money! consideration

the new Fifth avenue than the senti-
mental satisfaction of preserving it's
ancestral homes was worth. 1t has

one-half knots an hour and the cabins
accommodated only 115 passengers
Now the Franconia's length is 625
feet, it's gross tonnage $4,000 tons,
displacement $4,000 tons; it can carry
1900 passengers and it's power is
twenty times as great as that of the
Britannia.
More than three thousand workmen
labored on the liner for IL months up
to the launching at Tyne.
The sister ship, the Laconia, has just
been laid down in the same shipyard
and will be launched next year. Next
in point of readiness are the White
Star liners, Titanic and Olympic, two
ocean giants under construction at
Belfast. Already they are immense
in bulk and when they are completed
they will be $4,000 tons each, or more
than $4,000 tons bigger than the Maui
retania. They are each $50 feet long
and it is understood they will be fitted
with turbine engines.
The Mersey dock and harbor board
has commenced the construction of a
huge new dock at Liverpool, but as it
will not be fully completed for three
years. it may be guessed that the pro-
vision is mainly intended for the still
bigger Cunarder, that, report says,
will run to 10000 tons. Definite infor-
nation is not forthcoming at the Gu
nard Offices on this latest plan, but it
is not denied that the news that has
come from Germany of the new Ham
burg American liner Hansa has reused
the Cunard directors to a determine
ton to produce somethAo that will
lick creation for some wars to come.
The big German liner Kansas ton
mage will be almost $4,000, or $4,000
more than the Mauretania and 5000
more than the Titanic The Hansa
will not, according to present ac-
counts, aim at ocean speeding. It will
have turbine engines designed to run
it at % knots an hour, but the cargo
and passenger accommodation will be
immense. So carefully is it to be con-
structed that it will not be in commits
sion before the beginning 1913.
Apart from the natural rivalry of
two great maritime nations in the
American passenger and freight trade
there is another influence on the Amer
.ican side of the Atlantic that has made
for shipping developments. Since the
Armbose channel and other New York
:harbor improvements were carried out
shipping men have found the limita-
ttons to the dimensions of their yes
sells removed. The biggest liners they
have ever dreamed Of can now gain
ready access to New York, and the
difficulties at present lie more In the
harbors Of the old world than the
new.

take the water is the Francon1a, a new
twin-screw vessel of the Cunard fleet,

There is no statue of Washington in Lafayette
square, though one day there may be- for it is
said to be possible that Andrew Jackson may be
put elsewhere and George Washington may take
his place. The nearest physical approach, so to
speak, that one gets to the first president in La
fayette square, is in the White House, which
fronts it. 1t may not be generally known that the
White House was completed before Washington
died. 1t was only few days before his death,
as Washington tradition has it, that George and
Martha Washington walked through the recently
completed White House, to give their approval
or dlsapproval, as it may be, of the arrangement
of the rooms. 1t is possible that that visit to
the capital was the last one which the Father
OF his Country made, for it was only short time
afterWard that he died at his country seat Mount
Vernon.
Reference to Mount Vernon brings to mind
the fact that there is living in Washington today

Take that stroll down Fifth avenue
from Fffty-ninth street, for the fun of
it. Then it was one fine long row Of
manslons-granite and marble and
brownstone-every one a palace and
every one inhabited by an aristocracy
as great as America can ever furnish.
But now, walking down the street
from the park entrance, you meet few
er mansions, than shops even for the
first three blocks. A count shows five
brokers, three real estate offices, two
corset concerns and a French modiste
between the Plaza and the residence
of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt to the
south. And in Fifty-seventh street.
not far from the Vanderbilt mansion
and just west of the Harry Payne
Whitney residence, the famous old OIL
yer Hartman mansion is to be made
over into store for dressmaker. The
fact that this new neighbor is said to
have been a Virginia beauty before she
entered the trade, however, may ap-
peal to the social taste Of the Whit
neys and Vanderbilts.
Just below, the famous old Andrew
Zabriskie house has gone into the
hands of Schumann's sons, who are
making it over into fine business quar-
ters, with apartments above. And
right there, also, is the Coils P Hunt
ington mansion, with a new gilded art
shop across the way.
This little jaunt down Fifth avenue
shows, in addition, an amazing display
of glittering signs, with stately back
grounds of brownstone and marble, ad-
vertising trade where New Yorks real
society used to hold levee Signs are
everywhere. One of them even adver-

mansion that wreckers are destroying
