Picturesque Character Disappears Front Favorite flaunts in 'ew York' New York, July" 18. (Special) That: New York will be the first city In the world to be cooled artiScially during the summer months as soon as an efficient system for accomplishing this result Is completed Is the most striking result of the. recent hot wave which In. five days caused more than 160 deaths-and nearly 1,000 prostra tions and kept the ambulances tearing through the streets to such an extent that the city thoroughfares resembled an enormous racetrack. The possibil ity of providing a municipal cooling system hag been discussed before, but nothing has ever been done because of the fact that it has been thought that :n';. crrrvr? - -'tt'.tinn would i be too great. Now, however, the reali zation has come that it would work tremendous economies. Eiperts who have looked into the ma.ter figure that every stifling summer day causes a loss of at least half a million dollars to the city's business Interests through the" decreased efficiency of labor of all k'mds under the existing conditions4one of ,ts moet Picturesque figures but Every" day when the thermometer shows 90 degrees or over means a de crease in working efficiency of about 40. pfr cent, It is figured. Moreover, practically every kind of business feels the effect through slackened public Interest. Altogether the loss of half a million dollars a day is considered a conservative estimate. Even at.thU figure the total for the hot period will rome close to $25,000,000 which would pay twice over the Interest on the sum which It is es'lmated would be neces saryto supply cool air to the city dur ing the summer along exactly, the same lines, though on a larger scale, as those by which heat Ig supplied to the great office buildings in winter. The solution of the problem has of course not yt been worked out. but its actual value in dollars and cents makes Us ultimate arrival seem inev itable. In returning here this week in th role of expert investigator, to labor in an official capacity in this stat for the first time since he left Albany for Washington former Governor Hughes starts on what 'may be tanned the second lap of one of the most meteor ic careers In poHtka1 history. As an jnjftlgator an n unraveller of tan gled probldma, he U ftnp&reutly unriv alled and U was his ability in this field which first brought him into gen eral Dromlnence. His masterful han dling of the life Insurance investlga-1 tlon led to two terms as governor of this state, and thence to an appoint ment aB a member of the supreme court of the Cniied States. Now ne returns as head of the commission which Is confronted with the task of gathering evidence to dftermlne what should be the rate for the different grades of second class matter. While this iB not such a task so far as tlw amount of money Involved as was the insurance Investigation, it is of huge proportions and rendered still more difficult because ofl ,ts niany ramifica tions as a chief factor in the conduct of lh" postofflce' department. v Just what changes my occur remains to ba seen. Periodical publishers have pro tinted aeainst any change which will Increase their rate, and the railroads which carry the malls are pleading for a readiustment of pay which win at this service, a plea which has gained added weight since the report of the Iaw them to. earn a fair return ror postmaster general that out of about inn roads Investigated neany one-ui w are losing money under the present tvstem of mail pay. a condition which congress will undoubtedly be called unon to remedy next winter, in aam tlon the railway mall clerks have their crievances. thus complicating matters Still further. Altogether former Gov ernor Hughes returning here in the role which made him famous, that of InvestleaW.. Is likely to find himself confronted with a problem worthy of the mn who straightened out the lire insurance muiaie . An Invasion of womfn'g rlchts on the part of Ihe male sex is now immin ent here ss a result of the tstnbllsh ment of a nowl cooking school, ex clusively for raw. the first of its kind In the city. In it they will be laitiat- ed into all sorts of culinary mysteries which heretofore have been taught on ly to women and within elx weeks it is expected that tbe 16 pupilB who have entered up to da.e v. ill be able to make biscuit which wiH far excel the best that father ever made and rival the famous mother product. Incidentally they will learn to cook meats, make pas ry, manufacture a pie or prepare any other dish which may be desired. The ,, establishment of this unique school is not, however, an effort to educate, husbands for suffragettes who can care for the househld while the wife is engaged In politics or busi ness. The idea is merely to undermine the sovereign independence of the cook who at present comes 'close t4 being the ruler of many New York Households. The - founders, of the school believe that as soon as a reali zation ig achieved or the fact that a threat to leave on the ipart.of the ook does not mean that the family will be left in dire straits, a fairer relation will t established all around. Inci dentally, a course In the new school will be valuabe to the- husband tefij I J 1 - . 1. -tA J f .. .. UCB",ttto m ,ue w uunng me time that his family is at tne seasuore or in the mountains. If the Idea develops as it is hoped It is expected that sum mer cases of dyspepsia will be mini mized and the so-called servant prob lem solved, at least In part. , , The recent death of "Davy" Johnson has removed from New York not only at the same time the last of a group of men who made and lost millions here when gambling in this city was an un trammeled business patronized by mil lionaires who took chances merely for sport, with no consideration for the money at stake. Twenty years ago gambling flourished in different sec tions of the city. There was no diffi culty In placing beta In those days and raids were almost unheard of. The doors of the gambling houses wer? practically wide open and in nearly every Instance there was an unwrit ten gamblers' law calling for fair play. This applied to race track betting as well as other forms of gambling and few men who lost money on horse rac ing or cards ever had recourse to law to recover unpa'id gambling debts. Among Ihe biggest gamblers this was a valuable asset, as th reputation of being a "square" gambler brought de sirable patronage. Among such men Johnson had a reputation for the strictest honesty. Just as he had the reputation of being a tremendous plun ger. It is recorded that in a single day at the Belmont race course thert' years ago he won more than $100,000. Like all such men however, his Income was precarious and while one week might find him urorth half a million, the n?xt might see blm forced to bor row money.. No matter what rebuffs of fortune he met, his word was never compromised, end so when hiB luck was contrary he was always able to live the" life of luxury he was accus tomed to a Bthose who accommodated him knew that when his luck return ed he would take up all his paper and pay his debts. Although the "banana is generally supposed to be a purely tropical pro duct, Father Knickerbocker has just finished harvesting his annual crop In the shape pf two huge bunches, each of which contained more thai 50 fruits and taxed the strength of two men in lifting them. The harvesting of bananas in the midst .of the city, however. Is not the result of the swel tering heat, since the trees have been growing In the Central park conserva tories, wnere tnousanus or persons who have' never seen thiB fruit in the process of iproduction have dally view' ed "the, ripenitjg .bunches with keen curiosity. ' In fact Father Knicker bocker's activities in1 the field of ag riculture provide varied entertain varied entertainment for an urban pop ulation, the annual sale of sheep from the, Central jark fold vlelng with the banana picking In popular Interest Forty-nine sheep were disposed of at the sale for a total of J380, while 800 pounds of fleece from the spring clip ping brought $115. In the flock were two orphan ram lambs which hda been brought up on the. bottle In the me nagerie after their mother died. It la estimated that more than 100,000 New Yorkers who bad never before seen a growing banana or a sheep clip ping viewed these "t wo events.

For M.., by e.l deW Lettrcs d Cachet. Lettres de cachet was the name giv en in France to warrants sealed with the king's seal ordering persons to be thrown into pnxou or exiled. The first came into use about 1670 and shortly became one of the popular ter rors of France. It is said that no less than 0.000 lettres de cachet were U sued during the reign of Louis XIV and 0.000 during the reign ot Louis XV. In many cases these terrible doc uments were secretly sold and used as a source ct Illicit revenue. They were frequently sitmrd in blank, and the bolder of one of (bene royal fer rors could write In tbe name of any person against whom be nappe tied to have a grudge. The national assem bly abolished this Iniquitous privilege of issuing lettres de cachet on Nov. L 1789. ' Juvenile Logie.
