to several of his American and Eng
lish friends at the Waldorf hotel. For
several years prior to 1908 he was the
owner of a number of the speediest

attention as Brady entered the oak

GODS GRACE OR A FALL?
Anyway, a Yonkers Woman Is Well
After Years of illness.

New York, Jan. 2S - Mrs, julius
Henry Caryl, one of the wealthiest
women in Yonkers, has recovered
from an illness that made her a help
less invalid several years ago. She
attributes that recovery to the pow.
er of prayer and the grace of God"
The shock of falling when she was
being lowered from the steamship
Minnehaha into a lifeboat last year
after the steamship struck a reef also
is credited with having played a part
in her recovery.
Mrs. Caryl was handled so careless
ly she fell several feet That shock
was what she needed, because she
scrambled to her feet and took the
place assigned to her. When the
boat reached shore she stepped out
without assistance Notwithstanding
that prior to her fall she barely had
been able to totter along with the as.
sistance of cane, Now she is we'll.

have the top of the tower on his new
building about $50 feet above the
curb
The original plan called for struc
ture about $50 feet high, forty feet
higher than the Singer tower, but
still leaving the Metropolitan tower

Now that Mr. Woolworth has gained
control of the entire block front he
has a site which warrants a taller
building, and he has determined to
out-top them all. The main building
will rise thirty stories. The tower
which will be either over the middle
of the Broadway front or at the Park
Place corner, will have twenty-eight
or thirty additional floors.
Besides being the tallest In the city
the building will also be the largest
in point of floor area. The entire cos,

For the ground alone four and one

To Cut Dakota Election Costs.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 2S.-The senate
passed the Curtis bill which has for
its purpose the reduction in election
expenses in this state. Under the
present law it cost the counties over
$4,000 each for printing at the last
election and the Curtis law provides
for printing laws and amendments to
be voted on in pamphlet forms. This
was opposed by Cone, with Curtis and
Fleeger supporting the measure, and
Candy presenting statement that
newspaper men wanted to continue
the expense. After the row was over
the bill passed easily.
When the daylight saloon bill comes
up for action an amendment will be
offe ed to make 1t local option meas
ure and If that is secured 1t is said
the bill will have little opposition.

WIFE A BUSINESS PARTNER.
Give Married Woman Equal Chance

Give Married Woman Equal Chance
to Earn, Prof. ZuebIin Says.
New York, Jan. 2S. - Suppose you
are a man with a thousand dollar in
come.
And suppose your wife is woman
with a million dollar personality.
What are you going to do about it?
That's the question being asked by
Prof. Charles Zueblin, formerly of the
University of Chicago, at present a
lecturer and writer on social and &C.
onomic topics, who has just brought
out a book here called Democracy
and the Overman."
Professor Zueblin has a solution.
The woman should simply be given
an equal chance with the man to earn
the money her intellectual and social
possibilities may require" he asserted.
children, church and kitchen no
longer monopolize the energies of the
modern healthy woman. There is not
enough domestic work for all of wo
mans time, any more than there is
agricultural work for man.
"Wives now have no claim upon any
definite sum; they are dependent upon
the generosity of their husbands
There are millions of women whose
capacity is never tested, because they
are the recipients of charity. The
charity may be disguised by the love
of a devoted husband, but they are
still stunted by patriarchal admins
tration.
There Is no question but that the
average woman is the inferior Of the
average man in development. But
that is the woman's misfortune, moi
her fault. She must be given the
same control of her life as man en-
joys. She must receive her wages.
THE majority of women have tC
marry" declared Professor Zueblin
Most of them, happily, wish mar
riage, but there is no opportunity fol
deliberate choice.
Women should not be forced tC
marry a financial lord and master, bu
their marriage should mean entering
a business partnership. Then rela
tions after marriage would be indefi
, initely more pleasant. There is little
fellowship between many married
couples. This is primarily due to thu
husbands monopoly of the pocket
book. The beginnings of marital un
rest are in the concealment Of man.

In the production that comes to the

Mort II. Singer has done himself
much credit for "The Golden Girl" far
surpasses any other Of his well known
productions in stupendousness, elab.
orateness and expensive detail. Much
of the success of the Singer produc.

so, when playgoers see Singer show

Round About
N lew DIRK

New York, Jan. 2S.-Due honor will
be paid to a useful, IL wealthq, citi-
zen next Tuesday night, when some
Of the greatest men of the nation will
join in birthday banquet given in
honor of Nathan Straus, the Jewish
philanthropist President Taft has
accepted an invitation to attend the
dinner, and the committee of arrange
ments includes distinguished men in
all walks of life and of all national
tiles and religions. Among them are
Andrew Carnegie, William G.. McAdoo,
August Belmont, Charles NJ. Schwab,
w. Burke Cochran, Lloyd C. Griscom,
and Comptroller Pendergast. The oc-
casion will mark the sixty.third birth
day of the millionaire merchant, and
will serve as testimonial Of the
city's and nations appreciation of the
work he has done in saving the lives
of the poor. 1t may be remarked, in
passing, that this work of mercy has
not been bounded by racial or relig.
ious lines. When San Francisco was
shaken by earthquake and menaced
by flames, sent up cry for help, r.
w. Brown, managing editor of the
Louisville Times, and then head of
the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks, was the first to respond
pledging his order to large sum
which was to be expended, "Not for
Elks-for everybody" In the same
spirit Nathan Straus has sought to
alleviate the ills and save the lives OF
New York's children-"Not for Jews
alone, but for everybody" Consider
ing such exhibitions of broad liberal.
ity and wide human sympathy, the
most bigoted exponent of illiberality
may discern that Jews are human
and that the Elks, although some OF
them have been known to drink beer
are kindly at heart.

NEW YORK DRAMATIC LETTER.

New York, Jan, 2S.-Edmund
Breese, as paradoxcal as it may seem,
is proving a very attractive devil at
the Garrick theater, where he has
the leading role in "The Scarecrow."
The first act is an especially fine one
and invariably gets grip upon the
audience that is retained until the
curtain goes down in the final scene.
The play is one of symbolism and its
author Is Corey Mackaye Alice
Fischer and Frank Reicher are excel
lent supports for Mr.. Breese
