 Looking almost directly downward one sees below the ever interesting moving picture of City Hall park. with it's myriad dots of black, representing persons going to and fro on their vari- ous businesses. The view is curiously foreshortened. of course, and the build ings lose the shapes rendered familiar by pictures or by actual sight The small, architecturally beautiful city hall appears tinier still when seen from above and looks like toy house set in the middle of the little City Hall park.
 Off to the east is the dome of the World building. itself a place of pill grimage for sightseers who wish to gaze at New York from above But at the top of the Woolworth building we have a curious feeling of dsdain for the comparatively low cupola from which in bygOne years we found the view so wonderful It is almost 400 feet high, of course, but what are 400 feet compared with 750?
 To the south stretches beautiful New York bay. mother of the city's pros- perity. filled with the shipping of the world. Beyond lie Sea Gate. Staten Island and the New Jersey coast. with Sandy Hook. guardian of the city's seaward approach, in the distance. To the west is still more of Jersey, and little north on the New Jersey side lie the wharfs of some of the big ship ping companies, with the ocean mon sters, huge in themselves. but seeming no more than skiffs at this distance, so marvellous is the transforming power of altitude
 To the east stretches away Brook lyn, a city in itself, with the rest of Long Island in the background There. as in Manhattan to the south and north it is curious to note the checker board effect of the streets. From the Woolworth building you cannot, of course, see the people in Brooklyn's streets, but you can imagine them as pin points crawling about, if your pow CT of visualiZation is sufficiently strong.
 The woolworth building is nearing completion rapidly. The last piece of steel was riveted to the lantern dome of the structure a few weeks ago, when the accompanying picture was taken. A flag was thrown to the breeze by the workmen and the city below paused in it's rush and hurry to gaze up for few seconds as the folds of the stars and stripes caught the air and unfurled themselves.
 The Woolworth building is f1fty-five stories high. twenty-five of them being in the tower. The tower is almost square, being eighty-six feet one way and eighty-four feet another. The cost of the building and land is estimated at s11 000. of which no less than s1.- 00O.000 was expended in digging and erecting the foundation. The edifice is considered handsome one the style of architecture being Gothic modified to meet modern building conditions. Cass Gilbert designed the building

 them splashing about and enjoying themselves in innocent happiness of which their elders and little sisters know so little.
 We've all heard of the boys swim min holes," but who ever heard of the
 places to which the little girls go and splash? Such places simply don't ex-

 The problem of aiding the slum
 dwellers to keep cool and preserve
 their lives during the heated term is
 one that makes the philanthropical
 workers violate daily and hourly the don't worry injunctions of the phy- sicians. Whenever possible droves of the kiddies are taken, with their moth CTS, to the seashore and lakeside and on boat rides and trolley rides. Moth ing tickles the little ones more than does the seaside, with it's deep, cool sand to be dug up and fashioned into all sorts of shapes. Just a little way down lies the water. When that is reached the sand comes up in thick, heavy mud that is just too nice for anything for building purposes. Give a little one of four or five a pail and shovel and let him dig while the cool ing sea breeZes prevent him from be- coming overloaded and you have solv- l ed one of the problems of summer | philanthropy.

 As has been said. rules for keeping cool vary with the ideas of the indi- vidual doctor. But a lot of physicians employed by the New York city board of health announced to the 5000 900 citizens of the big town during one of the recent hot spells that if they fol- lowed these regulations they might be reasonably safe:
 Dress lightly and as cool as possible. Avoid physical exercise.
 Keep out of the sun.
 Drink cool water in plenty.
 Avoid alcoholic beverages and tea and coffee.

DoRR, ILL, REACHES BOSTON.
Alleged Slayer of George E. Marsh Back
From California.

Boston, May l3-William A. Dorr,
who is charged with the murder of
George +. Marsh of Lynn, whose body
was found with five bullets in it on
the LYNN marshes, arrived here Satur-
day in custody of two Lynn police in
spectors. The journey from Stockton,
Cal, has made the prisoner a physical
wreck. His frail body, pallid features
and listless manner made him a pitiable
object as he was wheeled in an invalid
chair from the train TO an automobile.
The only bit of information which
the inspectors have secured from the
prisoner which links him with the crime
for which he was brought east is a
diary. This details his movements from
the time he left his California home I'M
til he mailed it with q letter to his
aunt. Miss 0rpha Marsh, of Stockton,
on the morning of April II.
An entry in the book says ut is all
over" This entry was made on April
II. Another entry is; "Oh, my God,
the Niger has done it." In the letter
which contained the diary Dorr eX-
planned to his aunt the death of Marsh.
The police say that this letter was
mailed before the body of Marsh was
found.

DID NOT GO ON MISSION.
Major Butt Not Sent to Rome by Presi-
dent Taft.

Washington, May l3.-At the White
House last night personal statement
by President Taft was given out, cate
gorically denying that Major Butt, the
presidents military aide who was lost
on the Titanic. had gone to Rome on any
mission whatever from the president to
the Vatican.
The statement says in part: Among
the insidious methods of attack pur-
sued by some persons against me is the
attempt to arouse religious prejudice on
the charge that 1 am unduly favoring
the Roman Catholic church. 1t has been
my official purpose, first, as governor of
the Philippines, second. as secretary Of
war and third. as president, to encour-
age every church as far as possible where
this does not involve invidious distinc-
tion.
Il have unduly favored no church, but
treated all with absolute impartiality.
When my aide Major Butt set out on
his trip solely for his health and pro-
posed to visit Rome, he asked me for
a letter of introduction to the present
Pope that he might have the privilege
of an audience and | gave him such a
letter

statement who Major Butt was, and the
expression of the hope that he might

Boston, May l3.--More than 10000

primaries in this state were lost because
nine, instead of eight, candidates were
voted for. The Roosevelt slate had u

their claims that the real sentiment OF
the state was favorable to their candi-
date has been amply borne out by the
re-canvass of the votes.
The statewide recount which took in
10 per cent. Of the whole vote east was
finished Saturday night and the official
returns are expected to be in the hands
of Secretary OF State Langtry in time
for the canvass of the vote on Wednes-
day and Thursday by the executive
council. While the recount asked for
by the Taft league covered only the dele
gate at large vote, attention was pad
BY the Taft watchers to the cases where
in preference votes for the president
were lost because OF the mistake of the
primary officers in refusing to count bal.
lots that had been partially spoiled.
No word was forthcoming from the
Taft league Saturday as to the purpose
to which the information secured in the
recount will be put, but it will be ready
in case it is needed for fuel for the
