REAL CHAMBER or HORRORS
Attic In New Works. Criminal Court
Building Poor Place to Spend 4
Pleasant Afternoon.

Any attic is a collector of forgotten
relics as thickly enveloped in associa-
lions as In dust. But In the attic Of
the normal household there is very lit
tie that is gruesome and much that
is tender. and humorous, in its
associations. The ghosts of the past
which Turk under the domestic caves
are for the most part kindly, though
some may be melancholy and some
foolish. One finds them, on rare visits
to their musty retreat, making a gen.
tie appeal to ones heart, seeking to
soften ones facial lines with ghostly
caresses, coaxing philosophical well
come.
We dwell upon these characteristics
simply to emphasize the contrast pre-
sented by the fearsome wraiths haunt
ing the attic OF the criminal courts
building. A spring housekeeping
there, the first in many years of crime,
has discovered among the dustgath-
ering contents thousand suits taken
from the bodies OF murdered men,
including the clothing worn by Caesar
Young, by Stanford White and Herman
Rosenthal. There was the trunk in
which Elsie Siegers body was found.
There were gambling outfits captured
In the spectacular raids of William
Travers Jerome. There were weapons
OF every description. the agencies Of
murder and assault-in fact. an 40
emulation Of criminal exhibits cover
ing q decade and more of the city's
history and recalling to mind host
of half-forgotten tragedies and sad
failures and grim triumphs Of JUS
tice.
Perhaps it Is not altogether fair to
call this chamber of horrors our COM
munal attic, since to be completely
representative 1t should gather also
those more wholesome relics of peo-
pies activities which eventually find
their Judgment in museums. And yet
until this criminal courts attic more
nearly resembles In contents Of asso-

lennium will seem too far off to bother
about.--New York Tribune.

Russ,A.s FOUNDATION.


Pierre L. Bark. Russian minister
of finance recently declared that Rus
sfa's prosperity is rapidly on the In
crease.
"Russia's finances rest upon the
most solid foundation in the world"
said Mr.. Bark ''The economic pros
perity Of the Russian people is now
greater than was ever conceived pos
sible before the beginning OF the war.
There is nothing illusory or spectous
about Russia's prosperity. It rests
upon the incontrovertible fact OF the
Russian peoples increased earnings
and savings. When a year ago the
savings banks showed monthly in
crease in deposits of $4,000, 900 rubles.
1t was regarded as phenomenal. But
that was only the beginning. Say
ings deposits have increased over.
1000 per cent under prohibition. This
greatly changed condition of Russian
finances, Minister Bark explains. lis
accounted for principally by the grow
ing thrift and economy of the peas
ants since the enforcement Of proht
bition."
