PASSED BY THE CENSOR

TNWO years ago, an Englishman of Jewish
l. extraction came to this city with $4,000
lie rented building in Sth street, turned it
into -ccnts-a-night lodging house for men,
spent thousand dollars in improvements and
is clearing $4,000 a year on his venture Incl
dentally, he and his father and brother own
and operate 40 lodging houses in this city,
New York and Boston. They are models in
every way, which is perhaps the reason why
they pay well.
How this family came to go into this busi-
ness is rather an interesting story mas
ter plumber by trade the father built up a
good business in Bradford, England Then
came illness and he brought his family TO
this country, going to Buffalo, where he
started shoe store. Knowing absolutely
nothing about shoes, lie managed TO lose his
money but made enough out OF real estate
to rccoup himself. So he had an attic fun of
all sorts and conditions of shoes
Then ne ventured into the painting bus
ness. His partner was a good painter and u
better drinker and soon the business collapsed.
SO the lodging house impresario accumulated
barnful of paints Next he sought fortune
i'm the clothing business, in which he prosper
cd until the panic of 1892 came along and left
him with $4,000 in cash and many unstable
suits of clothing.
Then he drifted to Boston, where he opened
his first lodging house. Fortune backed by
hard work, smiled and now he is trust with
no trust for the rooms.

HNHE members of the Board of Censors that
L pass on moving pictures in this city are
still laughing over Joke at their own ex-
pense and, which, although 1t happened in
nocently enough came very near interfering
with the first performance of Dr. Raymond L.
Ditmars wild animal pictures Book OF
Nature"
When Doctor Ditmars and George Meeher,
his manager arrived here last Monday. they
were met at the train by wild-eyed opera
tor. who said that the Board of Censors had
demanded an immediate review of the pic
lures. Doctor Ditmars and Mr.. Meeker had
overlooked this technicality and were about
to proceed to the Academy of Music when the
operator declared in great excitement:
"You got TO cut out Venus"
"And what do you mean we've got to cut
out Venus?" said Mr., MeeSer.
well, the censors have heard something
about diving Venus in this show" said the
excited operator, "and they want to see what
it is all about"
Doctor Ditmars and Mr., Meeker in order
TO go through the fOrmalties rushed the pic
lures up to the Board Of Censors' headquar-
ters, where the members were assembled TO
sit in judgment
II came TO the sixth reel in the Jungle Cir
cut, when Mr.. Meeker assuming his best
attitude, declared: We will now show the
picture of the wonderful diving Venus. The
first time that she has ever exhibited her
self" The Board sat back in expectancy.
Then Venus made her marvellous dive.
There was a roar Of laughter from the
members of the Board, who, after enjoying
the joke to the utmost, declared that it was
on them and that they had been much edi-
fed. Venus is a comedy salamander Of
the frog variety and does her wonderful
diving speciality in tank as big a gold
fish bowl
Somebody had misled the Board OF Cen
sors

$4,000 after Wedding.

Fire of unknown origin completely
destroyed the new Polish Catholic
church and pafochial residence at
iMonongah early Saturday night, with
a property loss estimated at $d2 900
which was partially covered with an
insurance OF $4,000. The d1re was
discovered about $3.50 o'clock Sat
urday evening and rapidly consumed
the two buildings. Not only We're
the two buildings destroyed, but the
contents as well, with q few excep-
tons were burned
"A polish wedding had taken place
at the church during the day Satur-
day and ii is thought a match drop
ped at this wedding might have
caused the fire. A theory was also
advanced that it was crossed wires
witch caused the trouble, while still
smother theory was that the building
had been set on fire.
