MADE FAMOUS BY DICKENS
elaces Are Hardly DiseoVerabIe as
One by One They Have Under
gone Changes.

One by one the places made famous
by Charles Dickens have undergone
such changes that they are hardly dis
coverable. The rookeries in Tabard
street, Southwark borough, among the
last of these places are now being
closed up and very soon this charac-
teristic place OF --lckens-land in Lon
don will have passed away, the
housing committee" having deter
mined for sanitary reasons that it
must be obliterated. The Church of
st. George the Martyr, which stands
at one end of the street, is the house
of worship immortalized as Little Dor
rit's church, and on this account is
visited every year by thousands of
American admirers of the great novel
list. Near the other end of the street
was the Marshalsea prison for debt
ors, where Little Dorrit's father,
man with "a mild voice, curling hair
and irresolute hands," as the years
passed by became gray-haired and ven
cradle and was known as "the father
of the Marshalsea,' title If which he
grew to be ridiculously vain. And this
character (much of the color of which
Dickens is said to have taken from
that of his own father is one of the
most pathetic in any of his novels.
But the medical officer for the district
says it has long had wicked repu-
tation, and London cannot allow such
degraded and unhealthy spot to re-
main, no matter what its romantic
and historic interest. Long before the
days of Dickens this corner of South
wick was known as the hiding place
of highwaymen and debtors of the
worst description.

Lovers of history will readily recall
the influence possessed by the barber
valet and confidant of Louis XI of
France, Olivier lie Dain, and perhaps
less easily the name of Nicholas
Stagebeck, who gained like influence
with Christian II of Denmark; while
there is no doubt that many other men
in the calling have been on the most
friendly terms with their famous Gus
toners who enjoyed their discourse
and did not disdain their advice, like

Fraud nestles even on the roof OF

sophisticated Thibetan does little
cheating on his own account He is

times its weight in silver, so one
would think the scent would be pure.

always sold in pockets" and the vend-
ors will not allow an examination by
the buyer other than touch. But by
this means he is unable to determine
upon the purity, and it frequently hap
pens that the vendor has adulterated
his merchandise with amidon, peas,
beans, potatoes, mixed with blood, the
yolk of eggs, pounded in mortar un
til it resembles musk.

word to start them in race which has
been the talk of the sporting world for
James Ten Eyck, whose portrait is

Saratoga starter, sent Ten Eyck and
Riley away. AS one horseman re-
marked as the doughty oarsmen sent
their shells through the water: Its
sent two stouter-hearted thoroughbreds

Ten Eyck was the favorite in the
race, not because of the disparity of
five years in age, but because of the
fact that through coaching at SYRIA
cuse university he has had to keep up
his profession since he ceased racing
himself, while Riley only rows occa-
sionally for his health. For three
quarters Of the three mile course
Riley kept the bow of his shell on
even terms with his rival, but after
that Ten Eyck pulled away, finishing
six lengths ahead in 23:13h, while
Riley was clicked in 1881
Jim Ten Eyck is the father of Ned
Ten Eyck, winner of the famous Dia-
mond Souls and last years coach at
Wisconsin, and of young James, who
stroked the Syracuse eight-oared crew,
of which James, senior, is the coach.
Ten Eyck has a father 88 years old,
living at Fishkill Landing, who still
earns an honest dollar by rowing ferry
across the Hudson river. Mrs. James
Ten Eyck was sister of Ned Hanlan,
the famous sculler. Young Jim and
Ned, therefore, come from famous
oarsmen on both side of the family.
