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

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

that his family is at tne seasuore or in

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

ulation, the annual sale of sheep from

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.

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.
