BT IjLOTD f. lonerqan. NEW lORK, Oct. IS. (Special.) Now that the world's series Is over. New Torkers are awaken ing to a realization of the fact that they have been "done" again. They do not object to a legitimate expenditure for amusement, but the amount of craft that was realized by someone Is appall ing. One statistician of repute esti mates that BU0,000 mora was spent than should have been paid out by the fans. To start In with, $3 for a seat at a ball g-ame Is entirely too high. Further more, only the elect could obtain the pasteboards at this price. The major ity of the persons who sat In the grand stands gave up from J 5 to $50 for tick ets. And everything- else was In pro portion. During the season soore cards and sandwiches are each 10 cents apiece. At the world's sories games prices were jumped to 25 cents, with a lack of quality, especially as to the sand wiches. Persons who sat in the bleach ers and the unreserved portions of the grandstand had to be on hand by or before 11 A. M. to get accommodations, and naturally hunger came upon them before the game. Evidently the cater er bad not overlooked that fact. If one did not care to patronize him they could go hungry. Many of them did. Of course there has been much loud voiced indignation, and threats of in vestigation. This happens every year, and It is a safe bet that nothing will be done. We New Torkers are easy marks, and probably will remain so until the end of the chapter. The Board of Education Is affording entertainment at present by its unusual efforts to Balllfy a state law. Some time ago the Board had a regulation providing that any teacher who mar ried should by that act be automatical ly remove. The edict was taken to the oourts for review, and was fought out at great length, the Court of Ap peals finally deciding that a teacher had a life Job unless removed on charges, and that, while the Board f Education could prevent married wom en from entering the aervioe of the city, yet, if teachers became brides, that did not affeot their standing. This was a sad blow to the Board, until some bright member saw a way to nul lify the decision. A bylaw was passed that any teacher whe became a moth er should be removed on the ground that by her necessary absence f'om hei class she was setting discipline art naught. By virtue of this bylaw, one Mrs. Flexotto has been thrown out of her place, and the other women teaob ers ara up in arms about it. They have raised a fund and declare they will fight the matter to the highest court In the meantime Mrs. Plexotto is home and has plenty of time to look after her baby. The case has already been the. occa sion of much oratory, and the end is not yet. The Board of Education has Its partisans, it is true, but they are completely out-talked by the critics, who are planning mass meetings and other kinds of demonstrations. One of the few women practicing lawyers In Manhattan Is Mrs. William Mulligan, who achieved much fame some years ago as "Agnes Murphy, the beautiful girl lawyer." Bne was a con tinual souroe of copy to the "sob sis- ters" of the local dallies, and her mar riage to Mulligan, also a lawyer, was given much space. Now Mrs. Mulligan is again In the public eye, but not favorably. John Hart man, a tailor, made a will and named Mrs. Mulligan executrix. Hart man's widow objected to the account ing of Mrs. Mulligan, in whioh the de cedent's estate was given at 3x8.653, out of which Mrs. Mulligan had paid her husband $7075 for services, dis bursements and loana Surrogate Fowler says In his decision that, "according to Mulligan s bill of particulars, he must have talked to Hartman from two to six hours a day for nearly two years." Furthermore, the surrogate does not believe that Hart man borrowed money from Mulligan, as the lawyer and his wife both swear-. Mrs. Mulligan testified that the de cedent gave a receipt for each sum bor rowed, but that all the receipt were lost. The surrogate says this was most unfortunate for the executrix, and or ders her to repay the estate the sum she paid illegally to her husband. Another business enterprise which on the surface looked mighty good has come to grief. This is the "new Astor House rotunda," which is now In the hands of a receiver. The famous old Astor House did the greatest lunch business in Lower Man hattan. When it was decided to tear down the building some months ago the . regular customers mourned and de clared they would do anything to keep tnelr noonday resort alive. The em ployes listened, and some of them saw a ohance to get rich. They sounded the customers and practically every one agreed to help them with trade. Then the employes pooled their savings, bor rowed a large sum without difficulty and hired a restaurant around the cor ner, which, in interior fittings, wa miles ahead of the old Astor. The same old waiters were on duty; the same cooks prepared the orders and the supplies were obtained from the same tradespeople as the Astor House patronized. The new place, as has already been stated, was only around the corner, but the trade did not come. Why this la so, no one can ex plain. It was a fact, however, and day by day business fell off, until at last the Sheriff arrived and closed tne doors. Now a number of excellent cooks and waiters are traveling about town, looking for Jobs, and cursing the eustomers who had induced them to venture their savings in a losing prop osition. The preliminary legal battle of the Tianio viotlms and the White Star Llife is still in the courts. It has now reaohed the Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Holt In the District Court, held that the determination of the liability is a matter for English law, as the disaster was the result of a collision between an English ship and an Ice berg on the high seas. The steamship company wants the matter tried under the American statutes, which would limit its liability to about 190,000, sal vase from the wreck, plus the passen ger and freight moneys. Under trie English law, a much larger sum oould be secured. The suits already filed, in death, accident and property . claims, amount to 118,000.000. When the Clr ouit Court of Appeals renders a de cision, some time this Winter, the matter will go to the United States Su. preme Court, after which the Butts will be started, unless, as Is highly prob able, the lawyers find some other way to string out the initiation. The Remedy for Rheumatism Acute rheumatism is an inflammation of various parts of the body, characterized by greneral fever, by pain, heat, redness, and swelling of the joints affected, and by a tendency to leave one joint suddenly and fasten upon another. It is primarily the result of the failure of the kidneys to take uric acid out of the blood. Warners Safe Rheumatic Remedy is one of the most effective remedies ."known to medicine in expelling uric acid from the system, and it thereby removes the rheumatic pains and eliminates all traces oi the disease.
