An Old Romantic Custom That Has
Fallen Into Desuetude.
In recalling the serenade of the Phil

of bestowing marked compliment
upon any one whom you wished par
ticularly to honor.
The serenade was not emily offered
to visitors OF distinction. but prevailed
extensively as delicate attention
which you might pay to The lady of
your choice. 1t was thought the prop
er thing at that period for q man TO
engage the best brass band he could
afford and to proceed with it after
midnight to the house Of his preferred

most sentimental and sonorous selec.
lions. 1t was not an uncommon sound
even to hear double quartet of male
voices, with a French horn thrown in
singing beneath the windows Of some
favored damsel, while paterfamilia or
the butler made ready some light re-
freshment for the donors Of this grace

These romantic attentions have tas

fore 1t Evidence in the
Rosenthal Murder.
(National News Association


NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-When the
grand jury which is investigating the
murder OF Gambler-Informer Herman

mail from gamblers and other law
breakers. so
Detective William J. Burns who has
been investigating police conditions in
New York for some time for the dis
trict attorneys office, is reported to
have furnished Mr.. Whitman with
names of the three men who are
charged with being at the head of the
graft syndicate.
Developments of the utmost import
ance are expected to result from the
session of the grand jury beginning
today. This was the session designed
to reveal the identity of the men
higher up" who for years have been
talked about vaguely as beneficiaries
of the New York police graft system
but who have eluded exposure.
It was predicted that seven indict-
ments would be returned, one of these
against Sam Schepps, the murder
paymaster," who was caught in Hot
Springs, Ark.
A superseding indictment against
Police Lieutenant Charles A Becker,
one of the principal figures in the
scandal, was also looked for At
taches Of the district attorneys office
admitted that evidence has been piling
UP at a swift rate within the last few
days. Amongst this is information
that Becker has maintained safe de-
post box in a downtown vault since
last December. Mr.. Whitman claim
ed not to know the contents of the
box but there was every indication
that he believes it stuffed with cur
rency which came to Becker in the
form of tribute from the underworld.
The box is under guard constantly and
no one can get into it without the
district attorneys knowledge.

The word ''ironmonger" has as curl
Gus an origin as any other word in the
English language. 1t means literally
an eater Of iron and came to its present
use in this way. There was once law
that forbade buying fish to sell again,
and the fish hawkers, who still carried
on their trade In spite Of this law. were
facetiously termed fish eaters or fish
mongers. for to evade the law their
large purchases of fish were said to be
for their own consumption. Gradually
the term monger was applied TO other
trades. as cheesemonger. until at last
it came to mean any middleman as
distinguished from a manufacturer and
so was applied to the dealer in hard
ware.-London Graphic. ?
