PASSING OF OLD LANDMARK
SHOWS CHANGE IN GOTHAM
BY Carlton Ten Eyck
Written for the United Press

NEW YORK. May 2G.-NO more bean
p0rage on Tuesday? No more old
fashioned New England boiled dinner
on Wednesdays. or soft clam scousc
on Thursdays: no clam choWder on
Fridays. nor turkey wings and vcgr-
tables on Saturdays? No, Mr.. Broker
and Mr.. Wall Street Clerk and Mr.
and Mrs. Visitor to New York, you will
get none Of these things on which you
have been reared after May 80. On
that day the historic AstOr House will
close its doors forever and become a
memory. a wrath Of The things that
have been sacrificed to the modern
idea.
The building of the new Broadway
Lexington avenue subway to enable Mr.
Wall Streeler to gel down 10 his Office
with more speed did for his luncheon
place. II was necessary 10 cut off a
slice Of The old hostelry for the under
ground system. and the AStor estate
decided 10 close up The place entirely.
You had all heard Of it. you outside
the metropolis as well as those who
hurried in and hurried out of the big
rotunda today. including the man who
stood behind my stool for ten minutes
waiting in rather fidgety fashion for the
seat, after | had ordered dish OF
hot rice pudding when the twelfth oyS-
Ter had vanished forever from the she'll
When the AStOr House closes sine die
three days from today many will sing
the valedictory of the famous house and
wax sentimental over the list Of presi-
dents, and justices of the supreme
court. and editors and writer's and fl
nanciers and sea captains and diplo-
mats who did their SOjOnrning or their
campaigning or their dickerng or may
be just their eating there-not to men

of Wales. and the Grand Duke Alexis
Of Russia, both Of whose names appear
on the old registers.
But all that is beside the poin
IThere are those 10 whom The closing
Of The Astor House will mean a com
Eplete revolution Of The, scheme Of eX-
IIsience. There are today men in Wall
street and that vicinity who have never
ealen business luncheon anywhere
else since they were kiddies in knick-
'erbOckers. Some of The ''heavy" men
Of the street began TO frequent the As
Tor House when. as Office boys, lhey

were sent there to get the luncheonS
Of their employers, the dead-and-Son
brokers of yesterday.
If this were the worst of the pathetic
story it would not he so bad. but there
are the employees Of the familiar old
place. Walters. portcrs and other at
tachcs Of the hotel have been there
for generation-an some Of them
have never worked anywhere else.
When the doors close for the last time
Thursday these men will go out. They
are all old in The service. but the
Astor House is all they know. II has
been home to them for 20, 80, ana
even 10 years. and they will feel like
travellers in a strange land when they
start ont to find new places Of EN-
ploymcnt. The AstOr had style all
its own, vastly different from the mod
ern New York restaurant and hotel, and
The men who have devoted their lives
to the old place naturally feel a diff
dence in facing the world from some
other coign of vantage. And all the
walters there have not been like Paul
who has made 100000 out of his tips.
The passing Of the Astor House will
bring a touch Of wistful sadness per
haps to more hearts than could the
closing Of any other similar inStitu
tion in all the greater city.

need glasses? If you have eye
strain you may have one or more
of the following named symp-
toms -
Eyes tire on near use. Vision
dim at a distance or at ten inches
from the eyes. Eyes burn or lids
itch and twitch. Eyeballs and
lids become inflamed. The lids
feel droopy and heavy.
We get drowsy and sleepy aft
er reading a few minutes. We
have a tendency tG seek a better
light or to push the book or paper
farther from the eyes, or we
sometimes wear our glasses
farther down on the nose, which
Is very injurious to the eyes.
We may have perfect vision
for any and all distances and
yet have all kinds of headaches
due solely to eye-strain. All of
the above and many more indi-
cate that glasses are needed re

BOTTLE MESSAGE RE-
VEALS SEA MYSTERY
Farewell Note Found Along En-
glish Coast Tells Of
Ships Doom.

A message in a bottle. picked
up on the Kentish coast of Eng
land, has disclosed one of
the most bewildering mysteries
of the sea in recent years. Nine
years ago while en- route to her
home port, after loading cargo
of lumber in Mobile, the London
steamer Nutfield disappeared as
completely as though the sea
had opened its jaws and swal-
lowed her.
The Nutfeld. which carried
1000 tons, and a crew of 25.
under the command of Capt.
Tackell, sailed from Mobile with
a cargo of timber on Dec. 3,
1904, bound for the Tyne. and
she was to have called at Havre
on the passage.
After the steamer left Norfork,
Va, where she called for coal,
nothing had been seen or heard
of her. On board the vessel
were two Shields men-a donkey
man named William Howard,
a fireman named George Slater:
and Mrs. HoXNd, the formers
widow, of Newcastle, England.
received a letter by post contain
ing a communication apparently
written by her late husband and
his friend Slater, just before the
vessel foundered. Mrs. Howard
formerly lived in Hardwick St..
South Shields, but she at present
lives in Raglan street, at which
address the letter was delivered.
The letter in. which the message
from her husband was inclosed
is as follows:
THE Compasses, Cliffe, near
Rochester, Kent, Feb. %, 1913.
Dear Madame: If this reaches
the person concerned. please let
me inform you that it was pick
ed up at Cliffe, on the Kent
