AN ELKINS STORY.
Late Senator'S Struggle with
Razor of the Safety Kind.

The news of the death of United
States Senator Stephen b. Elkins was
a topic of conversation at the Waldorf
and the Belmont yesterday, for the late
Senator used to stop at one or the other
of these hotels whenever he came to
New York. The last time he was here.
about the middle Of August, he spent ten
days at the Belmont.
On that visit the Senator unintention-
ally gave the Information clerks lot
of trouble. 1t was his habit upon arriv-
ing to impress upon them that he did
not wish to see visitors. IF anybody
asks for me-" he said the last time, you
can just say I am not here" Then. for
getting that he was not in the hotel, he
would often take seat in the lobby,
and of course would be spotted by callers
who had been told at the Information
desk that the Senator was not stopping
at the hotel. The clerks would have to
explain to the irate ones that the Sena-
tor had said he was not in, and they
had to take his word for 1t.
The mechanism of a safety razor gave
the Senator and a house detective n
bad time one morning. Senator Elkins
had been invited to take luncheon ut
noon that day with prominent citizen
whose home Is at Oyster Bay. At
o'clock he telephoned for the hotel de-
tective to come to his room in hurry.
Look here" said the Senator when
the detective entered. Somebody has
been in this room and removed my
safety razor and left this blunderbuss
in its place" He held up what appeared
to the detective to be a safety razor.
What's wrong with it?' inquired the
detective.
"wrong?" repeated the Senator. why.
man, everything is wrong with it. 1t
won't shave. Here I've got to be at
Oyster Bay by noon, and I had calcu-
lated on shaving myself in two minutes
and attending to some business before
catching q train, and now / shall nave
to take a later one because I'll have to
go down to the barber shop. Why on
earth do you suppose anybody selected
my safety razor to steal?"
The detective could not answer the
question. but took the pieces Of steel tho
Senator gave him and promised to see
II he could not have something done.
In the hall he met one of the assistant
managers, to whom he told the troubles.
adding that he could not see how any
body could have got into the room In the
flrst place. The manager. who shaves
himself, looked at what the detective
had In his hand and found that Senator
Elkins had Apparently screwed two pieces
OF the raxor together. leaving out the
blade. which he had handed the detective
along with the rest Of the ra3or. The
manager put the ra8or together properly
and took IT into the Senator. Tho lattep

but he did it, spelling it out slowly while
his eyes blurred with the strain: Locust.
But the name of the cross-street was ef-
fectually hidden.
After breakfast at his boarding house
Wiles plunged into a series Of abstruse
calculations. in which the height Of Tow
er Hill. the magnifying power Of his
telescope and the distance Of Oak Har-
Dor above the sea level all had a part.
Just before dusk that day Wiles, "all
dressed I'D like a broken arm," as he ad-
mitted humorously to himself, strolled
down Locust street at the spot where
his calculations indicated his search
should begin. Within half an hour he
came to a girl hanging over an old-fash-
ioned front gate, and he stopped with
amazement and pleasure.
why, Coralie Fleet!' he cried. Il
haven't seen you for years"
The girl, who had dark hair and gray
eyes in which the joy of living was
alight. shook hands warmly.
Nor I you," she smiled: land I would
not have seen you now: only I'm waiting
for my little brother. He's late for sup
per, as usual. Won't you come up on
the porch and sit down.
Il will,' said Hoover Wiles, with
solemn joy.
That was four years ago. Now at bed
time every night Hoover Wiles. jr. a
chunky boy with his mothers gray eyes
and his fathers sturdy shoulders, waves
'by-bye" from a lighted kitchen window
toward Tower Hill. Mrs. Wiles throws
kiss, for she knows her husband Is
seated at his telescope waiting for their
messages.
But the pretty little custom will soon
be discontinued. Wiles has advanced.
He has Just been appointed chief Of the
forces at Tower Hill, and Is going to
move his family to the residence adjoin-
ing the observatory.

NOT A PASSENGER KILLED

Figures compiled by the railroads
show that during 1910 not a single
passenger was killed on the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific or Southern
Pacific lines in Mexico, a total of H.
600 miles.
During that period there were car
49,491 900 passengers, or. in other
words. 3,0OO,000000 passengers were
carried one mile.

Men struggled and almost fought to
