The Western Union Telegraph Conn
pany. which Is increasing its ownership
gradually over the property In the block
between Broadway and Chufch street,
Dey and Fulton streets. until very little
, remains beyond its control, is under
stood to have secured the New York
Law School Building at ia Fulton
street. The deal was closed late yester-
dsy afternoon, according to the story
which was heard in downtown real es-
tate circles. Dean Chase of the Law
school, when asked over the telephone II
tbs property had been sold. said II had
not been. Asked II there was deal
in negotiation for the property, he an
svered that he had nothing more to say
about the matter at this time. Legally
a. property Is not sold until title is trans
ferred from the seller to the buyer. The
Law School property Is the largest In
dividual holding not in the ownership
OF the telegraph company. 1t also Is the
best improved OF the many parcels
which the company has secured, II being
eleven stories high and not more than
ten years old. 1t was built before the
aims of the western Union interests had
been formulated to take over the entire
sblock to Church street, and along Dey
and Fulton streets Having determined
on. its plans the company has lost no
opportunity to increase its control In The
block. Exclusive of the Law School
Building the company now controls all
tne Broadway frontage Of the block, the
property on Dey street west to the small
building adjoining the Church street
corner, and on Fulton street an un-
broken stretch from Broadway west to
the Law School Building. 1t also owns
the four story building ut 17s Fulton
street, which divides the plottage at the
northeast corner Of Fulton and Church
streets so as to prevent its improve
ment with a tall building. The Law
School Building has frontage OF "a
feet and Is n feet deep. 1t has been held
in the market at 100000, and the price
which the Western Union Company Is
understood to have paid for 1t is close
to this figure. or this amount S375.000
represents a mortgage held by the New
York Life Insurance Company. Tine hew
building Of the Western Union encloses
the law school property on the east and
in the rear. This building Is twenty
eight STOVES high and so constructed
that 1t CA be extended from time to
time When the war is over and build
ing conditions improve II Is the plan OF
the company to extend its building over
the remainder of the Broadway block
to Fulton street and west on that street
to the wing Of the building in the centre
of the Fulton street frontage. The war

price fixing decision and other condi-

the week are estimated at 10000 pieces.
This covers nearly the entire output
available for civilian needs. Manufac-
turers have been chiefly affected by the
price fixing on tire 3Sh inch, 64x60
goods. Prices arc all normal and such
contracts as have been placed are sub
ject to Government revision.
Manufacturers are disinclined to take
on much business. because Of the pros

greater volume than any previously
handled. The mills are holding the
looms for the new Government business.
There will be very little goods for the
civilian market in the wide print cloth
lines. Many mills will have all their
looms tied up with Government work.
Shortage of labor stu curtails the out
put of the mills.
In the fine goods market trading is

 And now I find that I've written pages and pages quoting and commenting upon many vital wonderful facts in Julia Collier Harriss wonderful book and have left no place for picture of the beau tiful home life of Joel Chandler Harris and his lovable and happy family Nor have I told you how Mrs. Harris has described his early life, his career as a "cornfied journalist" I must tell you this, though, if you don't know it. By birth Joel Chandler Harris was one of those racial accidents" which have so often produced the incalculable thing genius. He was the only son of a Geor- Eia girl of good family and an Irish laborer who ran away with her and de- serted her 'within a short time of the ;hild's birth.' The boy was given hii mothers name and fortunately inherit ed her sturdiness of character. But phys ically he bears the brand of his pater- nity The remarkable colored portrait given as frontispiece to this biography shows the red hair, light blue eyes and heavy Irish features of his fathers race. And who can say how much the Celtic strain may have had to do with his magical handling of the folklore he found in his hand? The actual place of his birth is in doubt, but it must have been near the little middle Georgian town of Eatonton, where his early boyhood was

0 HAVE just finished reading Julia
 Collier Harris s 1"The Life and Let
 ters of Joel Chandler Harris" and
 I feel like I've spent a delightful "week-end'' with our beloved Uncle Re- mus" and "Brer' Rabbit" and "Brer Fox" "Brer' Bar" and the Tar Baby"
 The author, who is the wife of Julian LaRose Harris-the beloved son of Un- cle Remus-has done beautiful piece of work in presenting to the public many deliciously entertaining sde-lights, as it were, on the character and life of the most popular and beloved of southern authors; with rare skill Mrs. Harris has selected and compiled from tremendous amount of data, and arranged all of 1t in delightful form and given a touch which few could have given, because of her intimate, close relations with the much beloved man and his family.
 Mrs. Harris carries us through the life of Uncle Remus so fully and so inter- estingly that we can scarcely believe that for 10 years he has been no more-one of the mute majority" instead of the scintillating human sweet person that he was, and we almost feel like saying, with Mark Twain, that until we read '~The Life and Letters of Joel Chand- 1er Harris we felt that 'the reports or his death had been greatly exaggerated;' for somehow until we did read this book we had hardly realized that Uncle Re- mus was still in death and no more would sing his appealing songs.
 In that blessed band up yonder-the aover Of songs-points to many of his fa- worites-Goldsmith Lamb. Lewis Car roll Oliver Wendell Holmes. Mark rwain, Eugene Field, Robert Louis Stew enson and Joel Chandler Harris; but xbeir light still shines and we still feel --the touch of a vanished hand" in the marvellous legacy of stories they have 1eft us.
 Perhaps the most potent quality Of kreatness which Uncle Remus possessed was his rnodesty. Like many other great men. he disliked the "limelight," and liks Lamb and many other humoriSts, he was shy to a degree and he was ai- ways willing to pay whatever price was demanded of him, just to be let alone; to be remote from his fellow men, whom he loved so devotedly as individuals, but was frightened to death of them zen massew
 Indeed, he was so visibly affected ns the very thought Of notoriety that he continued until very late in life his drudgery of newspaper work rather than do. as Thomas Nelson Page and various other friends begged him to do-accept Major Ponds splendid offer of slo,oOo TOT a season of reading from his own works' he would have had as companions.

to transmute into sweet music the sorrow of a loving friends when he wrote few days after the death of Uncle Remus these beautiful lines:
 JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS. Summer is in the world sweet singing And blossoms breathe in every clod, The lowly wales with music ringing, High answered from the hills of God! Yet hills to dream-deep wales replying, Sing not if one flower could die; He would not have the summer signing Who never gave the world a sigh Who heard the worlds heart beat and
 listened,
 Where God spake in drop of dew, And if his eyes with tear drops glistened The world he loved so never knew. It's grief, was his each shadow falling That on a blossom left it's blight But when he heard the darkness calling He knew that darkness dreamed of
 light!
 And that Gods love, each life inspires Love in the humblest breast unpearled He made the lowly cabin fires Light the far windows of the world!
 
 giving
 Joy to the wide worlds end; For in the man the child was living, And little children called him friend Wherever song is loved, and story Cheers the worlds firesides-there he
 dwells-
 A guest regardless of earths glory To whom time waves no sad farewells.  From life to life he passed: Gods pages Shine with his name, immortal bright, One with the starred and echoing ages, A brother to-Eternal Light!
