SAYS BOYS STOLE HIS
WIFE's WEDDING RING

A Solomon man came to town to-
day with complaint that neighbor
boys had broken in his house during
the absence Of the family and taken
his wife's wedding ring. He noti-
fled the jewelers. to be ON the look
out for the ring. A boy came into
one of the stores with the ring on
his little finger. 1t was too small
for his finger and as a consequence
the finger had swelled and he came
to the jeweler to help him get it off.
The jeweler notified the owner Of
the ring and returned it to him. The
owner believes that the ring was
traded to the boy by others who
took it from the house.

Considerable discussion has arls-
on over the manner in Whlcn tne
seating of the lecture course auu-
fences will be conducted this year.
The rotary plan, as it is called pro-
vides that no one will have the
somo seat more than once. AT i've
~ the seven entertainments ticket
holder will be seated down stairs
and Of the other two upstairs. TINS
win give all an equal chance at the
hest seats for some of the perform
ances and equalize the seating ar
rangements. But where two tickets
or six. are held together, then on
every performance those ticket nolu-
ers will have seats next to each otner
So that there will be no separation
as some have thought.
A receipt is given on payment Oh
the price for the lecture course
ticket. Either before the first num-
her ON the course, or that evening
these receipts may be exchanged at
the box office at the seelys for the
tickets for the course. 1t VIII not De

every number but a string OF seven
t,erats WIN be given for every sim

Two rows downstairs in front
will be reserved for those to whom
the seats in other parts Of the house
would be a decided disadvantage.
Under the rotary plan patrons Will

a ticket holder draws for the first
performance seat in the outside
section at the right of the stage, he
will be seated in the other sections
in order at the following perform

DESTROYS MANY HOUSES.
Manhattan Demolishes Enough An
nually to Make a City.

The borough of Manhattan in New York
city destroys annually enough houses to
make a large sized town. Last year the
number of buildings demolished was S19,
and gas tank brought the total Of dem
o.itions to $40. The front feet measure
ment of the houses pulled down was
24,s75. or approximately four and three
quarter miles.
Most of the demolition last year was in
the fortes and fifties and as far north
as Goth street. Nine houses out of ten
destroyed We're of brick the rest OF wood
Ell frame work. The majority or the
houses We're four stories high. The bu-
reau of buildings issued permits during
the year to destroy 81 one-story houses,
IS two-story houses, 141 three-story
houses, 429 four-story houses, 80 five
story houses, II siX-story houses, , seven
story houses, / eight-story house and )
skyscrapers.
Manhattan was originally built Of brick.
Then came the era OF broWnstone
houses, the ma jority Of which remain.
The easy steps to the first story above
the basement and the jutting porticoes
have now given way to entrances flush
with the sidewalk, however, i'll order to

Review of His Activities.

In arranging to make this change, which
involves no alteration in his business in
this city Mr.. Wardman has had an op-
portunity to pass in review his activities
during; the past four years. which repre-
sent, however, only about a third OF his
business career in this city. However
they have been busy years.
He finds since 1909 that he has erected
N large operations alone and sold
lO22 houses and thrty-one apartment
houses. For the houses he re-
ceived $500. 200 and for the apartments
s.. 10000. making a total of s6.511, 300
These large operations conducted by one
man are notable in the history of the
growth OF the city and represent an effort
made to meet a market demand. for, as
stated. all the houses have not only been
sold. but for the most part are occupied
by the people who own them.
In carrying out his building enterprises
Mr. Wardman has gone into localities
where there We're no improvements and
Rhode Island avenue and III street north
east he built go houses in a subdivision
which he called HighView, along 18th
street from Park road to Spring road and
the intersecting streets he built :SS
houses. at Georgia avenue and Lamont
street there are i0S Wardman houses and
at 1ith street just north of florida ave
nue. there are' 1876 houses
His apartment houses range from the
Dresden of the large type to structures of
smaller size.

This past week negotiations were COM

four-story apartment buildings on the
south side Of r street between 14th and

Harry Wardman. In closing these trans
actions Mr.. Wardman completes an en-
terprse which he entered upon a year
ago last December when he bought the
ground which comprises the whole of the
frontage of that square with the excep-
ton of the lots fronting on 14th street
which were built up.
He began at once the Improvement of
this unoccupied ground by the erection o.

them when completed and occupied have

purposes than ever before. When he
started in the year 1858 his Office on the

has seen all his contemporaries in the
business pass away so that he is now the
oldest living coal merchant in the city.
