WILLIAM DE MORGAN,
ARTIST AND AUTHOR, DEAD
Joseph Vance" His First Novel, Writ
ten Merely for Recreation

ten Merely for Recreation
London. Jan. 17.-William Friend De
Morgan, seventy-seven years old. an
artist who turned novelist at sixty
five, died from stomach trouble at his
home at Chelsea on Monday.
Mr.. De Morgan was the son Of Au-
gustus De Morgan, professor of math-
ematics in University College, London.
His mother was a daughter of William
Friend, whom Cambridge College ex-
PEELED for heretical opinions.
After course at the Royal Academy
De Morgan took up, in 1864, the max
ing and designing OF stained glass.
From 1870 TO 1904 he was manu-
facturer of artistic pottery.
His first novel, Joseph Vance" he
began while i'll. It was published in
1906 and Immediately became popular.
Then came IAN III Written Autobiog-
raphy," "Alce for Short Somehow
Good" at Can Never Happen Again.
"An Affair of Dishonor," "A Likely
Story" and "When Ghost Meets Ghost.
The opening chapters Of JOSEPH
Vance" were written for recreation,
with no thought of publication, and
smacked strongly of Dickens, the au-
thor felt, he said, because he began
to read BOZ" at seven and read him
all through life. The completed novel
was rejected by one publisher, but ac-
cepted by the next. Thereafter De
Morgan had a ready market, and made
a fortune out of literature.

DEWEY FLAG ORDER DELAYED
Some One Neglects to Instruct Placing
of Colors AT Half STAFF on Buildings

OF toioTn AZ nan Stau on buhuihbs
After the Treasury Department at
Washington apparently had forgotten
to issue an order that the flags on the
LOO Federal buildings throughout the
country be placed at half staff in re-
spect to the memory of Admiral George
Dewey, President Wilson was informed
of the situation and gave instructions
that the order be sent out to-day.
The custodians of the buildings and
the officials at the Treasury Depart
ment passed the buck" back and forth
20 each other when their attention was
called TO the oversight. While Mayor
Mitchell gave orders that the flags on
all city buildings should be lowered,
those on the Postofice, Custom House
and other Federal buildings remained
at the top of the stats. When inquiry
was made the building custodians said
they had received no orders from
Washington. At the Treasury Depart
ment il was said this was matter
which heretofore had been left to the
initiative of the custodians, but II was
admitted that general order had been
sent out when the Presidents wife
died

The Coming Tower

know not by what right.
There stood before the massy door
One gorgeously bedight
"Where is your luggage of good decds?"
Thus, with a scornful eye,
The Gorgeous One. "Ah, have none"
Bonifaee made reply.
Yet did he pass the portal through,
And down the gilded aisle;
He registered "New York." which made
The grave Saint Peter smile.
"A small room, and not too high up"
So Boniface did say.
"A ten-dollar suite on the nineteenth floor
Is all we have to-day.
Front! Just show Mr. Bonifaee
To nineteen-seventeen."
Forth stepped a man in uniform,
OF most majestic mien
Up the lift shot and when they got
To Bonifsces floor,
a merry chase had Bonifsce
BY many corridor.
At last the naughty bell-hop paused,
And then a door flung wide
Quite out of breath and nigh to death,
Bonface stepped inside.
The suite was done in Louis Quinze
Mountings Of ormolu,
And lscquer-work and marquetry,
All marvellous to view.
Hangings of chintz, fake mezzotints,
And all that kind of stuff
That female experts do prescribe
When they arc paid enough.
Each suite in Heaven was done the same
Rocco laid on thick;
IT'S called Interior Decoration, and
It makes a plain man sick.
oh. must I bide"-thus loudly cried
Poor Boniface, loud cried he
"Bido here alway?" Said the bell-hOp, yea,
Through all eternity"
Then Boniface sought the dinins-hall,
But, 10, they bade him stay;
And he saw a stout red velvet rope
Was stretched across his way.
The head-waiter said, you must reserve
Your table in advance,
If you wish TO open nectar here
And see the Angel Dance"
Then straight an amazon person grabbed
His beadpear from his head
And tore his topcoat from his grasp;
Here is your check" she said.
The morning paper cost one cent more
Than on the streets of Earth;
Things in the buffet all were priced
At thrice what they were worth.
The service that attendants gave
Seldom deserved the name,
But Boniface was a coward, so
lie tipped them just the same.
And ragtime music was dispensed
In stupid, endless flow;
Wherever went our Boniface,
Some band was sure TO go.
A week was past, when he at last
To good Saint Peter went,
And said, "Kind sir, much prefer
Eternal punishment"
"Churl. YOU who never comfort gave
To any fellow-msn
Shall ever dwell at this Hotel
Run on the New York Plan

FIRE THREATENS HISTORIC
 CITY HALL IN NEW YORK
Flames and Water May Have Damaged Paintings and Priceless Furnishings Made Sacred By Time.

New York, May 10.-Ffre broke out early this afternoon in City hall where yesterday the French mission was re- ceived.
 The fire broke out in the cupoia at the historic edifice about 12:45 o'clock The whole building had been wired for electric lights for the illumination in connection with the reception to the French commission It was thought possible the blaze was caused by defective insulation.
 The blaze, however, was not under control thirty-five minutes after 1t began, and the smoke which poured out indicated the fire was of con- siderable proportions. The water from the firemen's hose was flooding through the building and it was feared that much damage would be done to paintings and other historical ob. jects.
 Flames five minutes later suddenly burst from all sides of the cupola.
 With nothing but the shell of the cupola standing and its famous old clock destroyed. the firemen at 1:45 o'clock announced that they had the flames under control.
 Building More Than Century Old.
 The city hall was erected more than 100 years ago and Is regarded as one of the most beautiful pieces of archi- lecture in the country. It contains many priceless relics of historic sig nificance to the city and the nation. The architect was John McComb. Con- struction began in 1903 and it was completed in 1912.
 The American flag flying from the fagpole surmounting the cupola was rescued. On the floor just beneath the roof were stored many historical relics, including paintings of great value and furniture which once was used by the first United States senate. Police and flremen hastened to re- move these treasures to place of safety.
 Huge crowds gathered in city hall plaza and in Park Row and Broadway, completely blocking traafi1c:
 All the decorations in honor of the French and British envoys were ruined by water.

Espionage Bill by Saturday.
 Washington, May lo-Conferees on the army bill reached an agreement today and the measu.e will be re. ported to the two houses for conllr- nation as soon as possible. E:
 The conferees made tho age limit of those subject to the selective draft 21 to 30 years, inclusive, in place of the 21 to 27 limits in the senate bill and 21 to 40 in the house bill.
 The amendment put in the bill per- mitting Colonel Roosevelt to raise four divisions for service in France was eliminated, as was another au- thorizing the raising of three volun- teer regiments fog border patrol duty.
 The senate amendments prohibiting the sale of liquor at army camps and safeguarding the morals of the troops are retained.
 Protests Against Taxes.
 Protests against many provisions of the $1, 1900, 900. 900 war tax bill poured in upon congress by telegraph and mails today as the house was about to debate on the measure.
 A number of members on both sides of the house were ready to voice their objections to various features, and particular opposition was felt by re : pubicans to the increased excess profit taxes. The senate finance com mittee expects to conduct public hearings on the bill and these prob- ably will develop vigorous attacks from interests hit hard by the pro- posed war taxes. X N s,sa
 The bill will raise the per capita tax of the American people to $3S mainly through income, profits and in- ternal revenue taxes. and customs duties with a multitude of minor as- sessments against necessities or near luxuries consumed by all but the poorer classes. '.
 By unanimous consent the senate today agreed to limit debate on the espionage bill to one hour for each senator until II o'clock tomorrow and thereafter to ten minutes on the bill or five minutes on amendments for any senator. No time was fixed for q vote. but it probably will come by Friday night.
