HICAGO.-ln Chicago there are
- what are called Eleanor clubs,
where girls of all sorts and conditions
find homes. Among them are office
clerks of all descriptions, telephone
operators, milliners, bookkeepers, de-
partment store and other clerks, music
and art students. These latter are
encouraged to live, few at every
club, since it helps the clubs and the
club girls in general.
At these clubs the weekly board rate
pays for two meals, breakfast and din
ner. If girl wishes to take her
lunch with her she pays five cents for
three sandwiches and either fruit or
cake, for which downtown she would
pay about fifteen cents. There is the

Pomeroy killed two children, a boy
and girl. after treating them with
barbaric cruelty. He inveigled other
small children into isolated sections,
stripped them Of their clothing, tied
them to trees or upon boards and then
beat them until they were unconscious,
stuck pins into their tender flesh and
stabbed and jabbed them with knives.
When this boy with the demon heart
was finally run down and forced to
confess he barely escaped lynching
Only his youth saved him from the
hangman's moose.
Pomeroys letter to the public In
general and to the governor of Massa-
chusetts in particular is a lengthy
document. He cites many reasons why
he believes he should not have been
convicted of murder and concludes
with an appeal to the governor.

REV YORK.-In the city of New
~ York, where millionaires seem to
thrive like mushrooms in cellar
there is being constructed an apart
ment house in which a suite Of rooms
will rent for s25, ZOO a year. Probably
this rental is the highest that has ever
been asked for an apartment, even
such as will be found in this house,
series of IS rooms and so many baths
that one would be able to use a differ
ent one every day in the week and
two on Sunday without doubling On
his trail. 1t is the apotheosis of lux
ury; the last word, so far as the hui
man mind OF today can imagine, in
scandalous magnificence. In other
words, the builders of this house have
set new pace for spendthrifts In the
way Of living. A yearly rental of $751;
600 Is the highest that has ever before
been asked for unfinished housekeep-
ing apartments in New York city.
The new apartment house will have
II apartments-One on each of the II
foors-and five duplex apartments in
addition. The eleventh and twelfth
floors will be devoted to apartments
which will occupy all the floor space.

Costly New York Living Apartments

and these will rent for So 1909 a wear
The apartments which share a floor
with half of a duplex apartment Will
rent for $4,000.
The architects have arranged the
suites so that each OF these big floors
shall have more and larger rooms than
can be found in private city dwelling
occupying the regulation city lot, and
the number Of houses in New York
that occupy more than one lot even in
"Milionaires' Row" DO not exceed a
score. The four principal rooms Of
each apartment-the salon, dining
room, living room and galeTy-cover
$500 square feet, and they are SO ar
ranged that they can be turned into
practically one immense room Tor en-
tertaining. Each apartment will have
at least three or four real freplaces
where real logs can be burned; an In
GENERATING plant for the disposal of
garbage; vacuum cleaning system ex-
tended to every room; the latest heat
ing, ventilating and refrigerating sys-
tens. and both electric and gas ranges.
Those who have studied the condi-
tons of Manhattan island, and who
have been most emphatic in predicting
the era of overcrowding, will take this
sumptuous tenement as a real sign, of
that ultimate time when they believe
only business houses and the homes Of
the rich will be left in Manhattan.

predicted when all city dwellers will
live in cooperative apartments.

A TLANTA, Ga.-Atlanta's society
"A leaders and club women put on
white aprons one day recently and
armed themselves with brooms to lead
militant crusade against dirt in the
city's streets and back yards. They
raised prodigious dust, and found
the experience no less interesting and
no more strenuous than their accus-
toned bridge parties or dances. Incl
dentally, they accomplished a real
good, for they obtained the assistance
of five or six thousand housewives,
each of whom agreed in advance to
set apart the day for general clean
ing Of their respective premises.
For this one day the municipal street
cleaning and sanitary department
turned over hundreds of men and its
teams and wagons to the officers Of
the Federated Women's Clubs.

Women Sweep the Streets of Atlanta

These women, with the assistance of
able lieutenants, chosen from among
the bellies of the city, directed a 12-
hour campaign, which had for its OBJ
ject the cleaning up of odd little cor

had not always come in for their full
share of attention under the routine
dispensation Of the forces.
Other officers and members of the
federated clubs. brooms in hand,
showed by their individual examples
how much could be accomplished by
individual effort, and when the sun
set it was upon a brighter, cleaner
city.
So effective was the onslaught that
in the first few hours more dirt and
trash was carted off to the city dump
piles than had ever been carried there
within 4S hours before.

the satisfaction of seeing him fall on
the spot. When we come up he is ly-

go In search of the first. We can.
however, find no traces of him, and at
last reluctantly put him down as
missed. Leaving the gillie to deal with
the last trophy we make our way back
to the ponies. and find the rest of the
party already assembled for the jour

two good stays, one 13-pointer.
