SHE IS BUYER FOR CITY
Mrs. Won Hohoff Takes Of
 flee As Inspectress
Not a Suffragist-The Things Upon Which She May Pass Judgment In- clude Gum Boots, Fire Trucks, Hay. Pins, Horses, Absorbent Cotton, Beans, and Good NIousing Cats.

New York. Feb. 3.-Nfarket as a part of the city's housekeeping is for the first time under the eye of a woman who will henceforth keep the oatmeal and automobile fire-Uruck purchases up to standard. Mrs. Anna w von HOhon assumed the fu,I authority and title of Examining Inspectress of the Inspection Bureau of the Finance De Henceforth,- whenever James J. Mon roe, Chief Inspector, is away, she will be acting chief inspector, in command of the Bureau.
 Mrs. von Rohoff does not make a so- cial function of the daily occupation of marketing. If her household du- ties should make it necessary for her to go to the butchers and the gro cer's,, and buy a chop and a can of tomatoes, she might take a minute off to talk with a friend. But marketing for the city is altogether different. It is a business to be strictly attended to and no talk about herself or any oth- CT person is permitted All that Mrs. Hohoff would volunteer about herself suffragist
 Perhaps it was the satisfaction of her job that made her so much en- grossed in it. The duties of the Bureau of Inspection are to watch all pUrch- ases of the city and to certify whether they are according to specifications, so that Controller Prendergast may be safe in putting his hand in the ctty'S
 
 plies The Inspection Bureau sees the things bought, but MT. Prendergast does not. He just gives a voucher, and the contractor presents this some where and gets his money sometime. STARTLING IS HER SPECIAL JOY.
 But Mrs. Hohoff does not deal with things so intangible as vouchers and stubs and duplicate vouchers. She has the tremendous satisfaction of or dering the dealers to send up right away to Mrs von HOhoff, care of the city of New York, samples of anything they have to sell which the city wants to buy. And there is the extra joy if the samples of gum boots, fire trucks, hay. pins, absorbent cotton, hospital pajamas, horses, beans, pa per and good housing cats, do not suit-of sending back the samples of gum boots, fire trucks, hay, pins, ab- sorbent cotton, hospital pajamas, horses, beans, paper and good nous ing cats, and ordering other samples of gum boots, fire trucks, hay pins, horses. beans, paper, and good nous job that ought to please Mrs. Hohoff and it's being whispered about the Controllers office that he is puffed up over picking it out for her, and her for it.
 Next month, Mrs. von Hohoff says she may have something to tell about her job. Just now, although she mar kets for a household of several mil lions of people, she has no ready made opinion of the high cost of Iiv- ing.

'iThere'II Be No ShOW," " Declared
 Principal SimOnds High School Boys Forced to Call Off Boxing Bouts Had Planned Several Events For Bicycle Sheds at High
 School

After days of arduous training, and weeks of joyous anticipation, the band of young athletes of the Bridge port High School who expected to participate in what Announcer Harry Whiting would be pleased to term ''an all star boxing exhibi-shun' were grievously disappointed late yesterday when they learned that the High School authorities had shut down on the enterprise.
 Several of the prospective pugilists had put themselves through all the training paces long and faithfully, and practically the entire male student body was awaiting the bouts wi h keen interest. No attempt was made at secrecy, the young contestants and authorities to look upon the events as a part of the regular athletics of the school.
 Principal H. D. simonds was care several of the students laid their plans for holding the bouts in the bicycle shed at the High School, he said the place was s'too cold.'' He suggest- ed the Y. M. c. A. But former ef- such purposes having failed, the stu dents are fearful that the prospects for holding bouts in convenient cen traI locations are not over-bright at present.
 Among the most interested in the project was George Lebenthal, who was generally regarded as chief pro moter I.ebenthal and several of the students have been daily visitors at pugilfsts at John Bonds, Stratford, where Stewart Hamilton, a student, has been standing up with such good boys as Al Ketche'I, Young Bosse ard others. Competent judges who have seen Hamilton work out, declare he has the goods.

NAZIMOVA


 Nazimova, the artistic sphinx of the century, the artist who baffles anal ysis and whose personality denies classified tion, has linguistic gift that has been a great factor in her success When she came to America, only a few years ago. she could speak the tongues of her native Russia France and Germany, huently but she had not even the slightest idea of English. Foreigners who have Sbut- little difficult ty in picking up at Least a. working knowledge of the principal Continen- tai languages, throw up ther hanoS in despair at English, but Nazimo- va in less than year, by diligent and concentrated application mastered speaking actress, supported by an English-speaking company. Of course only natural talent for languages made this possible.
 Now that she is familiar with it, ngIish is -Nazimova's favorite among the languages with which she is con versant and she uses it almost exclu- ssively in her daily life, except when French or German will secure better service from the foreign born experts of the napery and the knife and fork.
 She frequently has in her compan- 1es, members who speak excellent French or German but she frowns up- on conversation with her in any ton gue but English.
 One evening during her closing week iu New York, wel-known young actor went back after the play to pay his respects to Nazimova, and meeting her as she was crossing to her dressing room exclaimed: Bon joar. Madam, Tai but he got no further
 How often have I told you not to speak French to me- interrupted Ma zimova, in English, with touch of Russian imperiousness, you know that from choice I always speak Eng fish and wish others to do so.''
 Needless to say the remainder of the conversation was not in French.

 Their belief was similar to the pre- sent Presbyterian faith. The Sande- manianS held no Sunday school and had no saiaried officers A dinner was given every Sunday at the parish house and the meal was called The Love Feast
