have already decided that in every
lease for building rights on the ave-
nue. there will be restrictions govern
ing the character and style of the
building.
The cost of changing Park avenue
below the new terminal will be enor-
nous, for it is no small task the en-
gineers in charge have outlined for
themselves. In the first place, If
their plans are approved, Vanderbilt
avenue will be moved eastward a dis
lance of 25 feet, and the upper road

will be the first time in the history o.
engineering that a city street is liter
ally hung on the side of a building.
The expenditure of this enormous
sum of money and the outlay of years
Of time in labor are part of a plan of
the interests in control of the New

Method Used to Break Into CountsS
feiters' Workshop In the Mon
roe-Head Case.

IN McClure's Magazine Detective
Burns tells the following story of the
ingenious methods he used to break
into the counterfeiters' workshop. in
the famous Monroe-Head counterfeit
case:
The counterfeiters had a young
boy In their employ who tagged cus-

Next a secret service man accost-
ed the boy about five blocks from
Taylor and Bredelps place.
Want to make a half-dollar, SOM
Yes said the boy.
"'Then take this bundle up to
Guys hotel and give 1t to Mr.. Mat

THE boy did so, not knowing that
Mr.. Matthews was also Mr.. Burns.
What do you do tonight. SOM I
asked.
Nothing he replied, and I asked
him how'd he like to be a super at
the Walnut Street theater. I then in
vited him up to see the manager, an
other secret service operative, and
told the boy to try on the clothes.
The boy was taken into another
room, where he put on the clothes and
was then taken to see h manager.
While he was gone l extracted his
keys from his pocket. With them

Bartholomew Close, Most Interesting

London.-Bit by bit each veal whai
little is left OF old London disappears.
Before long a whole ne~ighborhood
known as Bartholomew Close-nearly
the most interesting relic of Old Lon
don, for it includes houses where Mil
ton and Benjamin Franklin lived-will
have TO go.
The Smithield meat market adjoins
Bartholomew Close and traffic has
grown so heavy around the market
of late years that It has been found
necessary to construct some new roads
there. The best part of the old dis
trict overs the space wanted for the
new roads, so sentiment must bow
before expediency and the Close VIII

A close is literally the precincts Of
an abbey or a cathedral and this old
district is so called because it partly
is and once wholly was the precincts
of the Priory Church Of St. Bartholo-
NEW. At the present time what is
known as the Close is just a network
of rambling little streets and squares
with qIaiut little courts branching out
here and there; the church itself only
occupies one corner OF the place.
Milton lived for some time in this
spot when he was in retirement about
1860. He took up his abode at a

German Actor Honored.

Friedrich Haase, the German actor
who died recently, was the proud pos
SCISSOR of the Inland ring, which, by
the will of that famous actor, was to
be worn by the most worthy" When
August Wilhelm Inland died the ring,
made of iron and thickly set with dia-
monds, was given to Ludwig Devrient,
from whom 1t descended to Emil De-
vrient. The next most worthy was
Theodor Doring, after whose death 1t
came into the possession of Friedrich
Haase. At various times since his re-
tirement from the stage Haase had
named Mitterwurzer. Matkowski and
Josef Kainz as worthy of the Ifiand
ring, but they all left the stage of
life' before Haase, who, after con-
s~ultation with his friends. concluded
to name Albert Bassermann as the
ring heir, and he now wears 1t.

ROAD TO WEALTH is PLAIN
But the Man Of Millions Quotes Ono
Vital Point From His
Directions.

The Man Of Millions smiled benignly
upon the earnest faced youth who
stood before him, hat in hand.
You wish to know" he said to the
young man. the rules to be followed
to attain fortune. 1t Is a simple mat
ter and it is no secret. Yet SO many
men fail"
The Man CT Millions sighed. After
a momentary pause, he resumed in his
most gracious manner:
First. l wish to say that every boy
has today the same opportunities
nay, better opportunities-that l had.
You have a better knowledge Of men
and books than | had at your age.
Furthermore, you have glorious e
amples of men like-well, l might men,
ton myself, but modesty forbids. Any
way, the magazines and newspapers
are filled with stories of the successes
Of our great men OF industry from
which you may profit
Work and save. by boy. and oppor-
tunity will come. For instance, you
might buy a few good standard stocks
when they are down at ~rock-bottom
and sell when they get high; or you
might buy some good lots in a local
ity where some great city Is to be
built and hold them until the city
springs into being, and gold will flow
in upon you in a steady stream"
The Man of Millions swung back to
his desk to contemplate the plans for
the new hospital he was building for
sufferers from govt.
But" suggested the youth timidly,
how am I to know when stocks are at
rock-bottom?
Il have already given you too much
Of my valuable time" said the Man Of
Millions shortly. as he pushed an cleo
trio button on his desk which released
the section Of the floor on which the
youth was standing, and lowered him
gently to the reception room below
Roy r. Atkinson in Puck.

Firearms Accidents,

Pierre.-Within the last week one
child has been accidentally killed in
this state by allowing children to play
with firearms, and another shot
through the body on the same account.
The first case was the little daughter
of William Stoppelman of Hyde coun-
ty, who was shot by a 1~3-year-old
neighbor boy, who was, with a party
of smaller children, out shooting 60
pliers with an automatic shotgun. The
little girl vas instantly killed by the
shot. The other case was where a
6-year-old son of George Rose, of Mis-
land, secured a loaded revolver as a
plaything and accidentally shot himself
through the body, but it is thought he
will recover.

old verger Of st. Bartholomew said.
Its been completely metamorphosed
into something quite different" Com
p~aratively recently q lady chapel was
added to st. Batholomew's and to

ployed as a journeyman printer while

they will be sorry to see 1t demolished

venerable associations.

DAME NATURE HINTS

When Nature gives her signal that
something Is wrong 1t is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Ari-
soma man says:
For years I could not safely eat
breakfast foods, but they were all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better. for l found the toast
very constipating.

THE change they have worked in

OF the distressing sensations In my

any headaches. l have gained IL

licious as well as a nutritious dish.

Floral decorations are deservedly the
most popular for use at parties, recep-

floral designs and cut flowers at COM

America since time out Of mind.

specimens of this queen Of flowers as

The giving of a successful school

ly upon the arrangement and quality OF

GUIDE Brothers excel, for they have
specialized on just such ARRANGEMENTS
for many years. and are acknowledged
as leaders in the art of getting up Just
the right sort of decorations.
The quality of their gardenias, violets,

that of the roses, and splendid

the fact that Guides cut flowers come
direct from the lighthouses they last and
retain their fragrance for long time.

At last he got his STORY"
All that had gone before had been
comparatively easy to the problem OF
getting his scoop" on the wire. There
was no chance to get It out OF Charles
ton The nearest station with wires
working was twenty-four mics away
at a little railroad station called Sum-
merville. 1t was then for him Sum-
merville or bust" But no train was
running out of Charleston. So he ap-
propriated a deserted cab, and pushed
the old horse through mud and washout
until he reached a small junction, where
he was able to board a freight. He
wrote his story on the train, using the
backs of envelopes and due bills.
But in Summerville there was no
operator. r was then that the young
man climbed a wet telegraph pole. cut
in on the wire with pocket instru-
ment, and telegraphed his story to
Atlanta. It was a clean beat. Davis
made good with the first announcement
to the outside world Of storm conditions
in Charleston,
