Cutting Down Homes
 of the Millionaires
New York Worldly

When the Board of Estimate found it necessary to take 71s feet along each side, Fifth Avenue residents made a fuss, but the city set a heavy fine for all who do not commence the nec- essary alterations by August 1.
 And now the section buzzes like a beehive, The usual summer stiffness is broken with the chisels and saws and picks of 400 workmen. And when the rich owners return in the fall. the appearance of the place will be chang ed.
 w. K. Vanderbilt is perhaps the heaviest loser His house. at the cor ner of Fifty-second Street is a replica of the Chateau of Chenonceaux. The Gothic entrance will be spoiled and the sunken gardens filled in. The dead line cuts his estate within 3 feet. of the house wall. The orna- mental lamp posts, with their bronze been torn out and laid away, and only room enough for steep flight of six steps has been left. The Italian palace of Mrs Collis F. Huntington at the corner Of Fifty seventh Street is likewise badly scar- red. The front portico has been torn out and $100,000 is being spent to re- place it with an appropriate doorway of shallow design.
 Henry Clay Fricke will lose the best effect of his grass plot and the Hotel Gotham and the St. Regis will both lose the marble terraces which are used in summer for outdoor dining rooms. These are valued at $50,000 each.
 Some few owners have not yet or dered any changes made. The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian, Dr. Jowett's Church, is one of the chief offenders, It has an iron railing and three flights of steps, which must be removed. The delayed action is said to be due to absence of trustees from town. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs. Mrs. Marcus Daly and the Union Club are other offenders.
 The University Club will utilize the 4 feet left by it by building an addi- tion to come flush with the pavement. The William Rockefeller house, cor ner of Fifty-fourth street, has already been deprived of it's stoop, and Mrs. Russell Sage and the Misses Brice have likewise sheared off the front porch and replaced it with plain door ways.

LEGISLATIVE AGENTS.
tNew Haven Journal-courier.)

fNew Haven JOurnal-COurler.)
 1t has taken the General Assembly of 1pI1 six months to become inter estinE It is certainly most interest ing today when it is concerned with measures of popular welfare. With the various demands of special inter ests sout of the way, our lawmakers are busy with bills and resolutions that. actually relate to the happiness and scontentment of the masses
 Among the bills introduced from the Judiciary committee on Thursday was one :proposing to compel iegisiative agents having business before the Leg islature to register with the Secretary of State. One report, and of course the ajority report, recommends no acti1n. The minority report, to which Senator Judson appends his name, recommends favorable action The first section provides that the agent must file notice of the legislation in which he is interested. The second section prohibits the employment of such agents to be compensated contin- gent upon the passage of any partlcu- liar lesislatjon. According to Senator lJudson= thiss praetice has long been done away with in the courts. The third section requires the filing of a isworn statement by legislative agents 1 or counsel after the rising of the Gen eral Assembly in which shall be dis closed the amounts disbursed and re- ! ceived Tn defense of his report Sen ] ator Judson said:
 'f wish this bill had been law while the public utilities bill was pend- ] ing, 50 we could have known how many people from the. four corners of this commonwealth were employed here on Capitol Hill"
 The strange feature of Legislation of ! this character is that anyone should ] find 1t worth while to oppose it.. There is nothing dishonorable about appear ing. before legislative committes and urging upon them course of action . in which citizens or corporations are interested. The only suspicion that can attach to such appearances is when the legislative agents shrink from stating squarely, who and what 1 they represent. It is information te which the Legislature is entitled, and : it is information to which the public is entitled Nor does it work hard ship to any interest whatever. As Senator Judson truly says:
 ''In every civil and criminal court lawyers must enter an appearance. This i General Assembly is the general court and It isea7nf6tter of public policy tha, 1 those attorneys working here should make a similar entry"

 August Madico, Housatonic avenue, bruises and contusions.
 The last four named were taken to their homes in teams furnished by the s. w. Hubbell Building company by whom all were employed. A faulty support to the scaffold is believed to have been the cause of the accident which occurred just after the men had resumed their work in the afternoon.
 The collapse of the scaffold precipi- tated all six to the ground, a distance of 20 feet.
 The ambulance corps was summon ed and all six were taken in the auto ambulance to the Emergency hospi- tai where temporary dressings were applied to their injuries.

THOUGHT SEED.

By Emma Rodemeyer Wait, in Ca
 paan News) Our life is like the blossom, Our life is like the cup; Our thoughts are like the pollen That falls and then grows up. Each day of life we're planting Some seed in fertile ground. And all along life's pathway Our own blossoms are found. For thoughts are like the roses. Or like the cruel thorn; They cheer or may embitter, They pierce or they adorn. God grant that we may scatter, Seed that is good and true. That in the reaping season.
 Our harvest we'll not rue.
