ACHINERY of the best make is as
necessary in the production of

individual artistic propensities
and the inks. The best presses on the mar

I ture historians probably will spend
years of research and waste reams of
good paper in attempting to solve the
mystery as to whether Col. Theodore
Roosevelt of Oyster Bay, N. Y did
or did not say at the already famous
Aldlne association dinner that he
would be a candidate for the republi
can nomination for president.
Three hundred guests were present
at the banquet and nearly three hun
dred versions of what actually was
said already have appeared.' One sub
ject, that was touched upon vocifer
ously, however, was the attitude of
the postmaster general In relation to
the second-class postage rate, the
sentiments of the diners being expres
sed In the following song with which
the chief guest was greeted:
Oh, tell us, Colonel, If you please
Are you a candidate?
And what would foe your sure decrees
Upon the postage rate?
The times are hard, our hope Is frail;
, We often cogitate '
Why Outlook goes by fastest mall-.
Review of Reviews by freight?
We wonder If youi views are sound,
and what's the best you'll do?
The World must 'go for a dollar a
pound, '
The Evening Post for two!
For us, the best of magazines ,
You'll cut the rate in. two?. '
If we can have these nectarines,
Then, Colonel, we'll vote for you.
,. The railway officials who' have a
grievance against the postmaster gen
eral as pronounced as that of the pub
lishers In view of his proposal to pay
for main transportation- on the basis
Of cost as determined by him with an
allowance of six per cent on the di
rect cost of train operation, but with
no allowance to cover capital Invest
ment, terminal charges, dead space In
postal cars, and all other expenses,
are now looking for a poet, laureate
who can present their case3 against
official discrimination with equal effectiveness.

iNew York, Jan. 19 (Special) That
New Yorkers are acquiring the dlsap
peering habit with alarming rapidity
is Indicated by figures compiled by the
police department, which show that
during the past year no less than 3,192
persons disappeared from their homes
In this city. More surprising still-is
the fact that only 520 of those report
ed as "missing" were 'found. So far
as any official records go the other 2,
6,62 have vanished Into thin air. v-
Occasionally of course a disappear
ance of particular note attracts the
attention of the whole country as In
the case of Miss Dorothy Arnold. Thu
records show, however, many more
surprising cases of which the public
rarely ever hears. One of the most
remarkable of these Is the case of an
Italian woman with her four small
children walked out of her home last
April to purchase some small sup
plies and has never been heard from
since. The fact that all five should
have disappeared so completely is con
sidered particularly remarkable by
the police who point out that it Is
about ten times more difficult for even
wo persons to disappear together
than to vanish alone, and that for
five to disappear at once Is almost an
impossibility. With an average . of
nearly nine persons disappearing ev
ery day New York has undoubtedly set
a new record In this particular field.

New York, Jan. 19. (Special).
Whether New Yorkers are growing
more temperate or more economical la
a question which is open to discus
sion. There Is no doubt, however, that
they are doing one or the other as
Indicated by the great shrinkage dur
ing the past year la the Imports of
champagne. Hardly enough of the
beverage supposed ta be New York's
particular thirst quencher was
brought Into the whole country last
year to have supplied thiB city a few
years ago. Less than 240,000 cases
made up the total, an amount which
Father Knickerbocker could pretty
nearly have gotten away with himself
half a decade.
'A. man who knows what all the Im
porters are doing said that one of the
bl house which Imported 60,000 cases
as' recently as 9110 brought in only
S.000 cases in 1911. Another establish
ment Imported 50,000 cases as against
100,000 cases a year ago. A third
which Imported 40,000 cases In 1910
brought 25,000 last year.
Undoubtedly the panic of 1907 has
had considerable effect In decreaslne
ther consumption of "bubble water"
acre but New Workers are also shame
facedly owning up to a growing fond
pep? for. beer,' the consumption of
$
! Geifcels
'A
which increased greatly last year.
Should the use of the supposedly aris
tocratic beverage continue to decrease
at , the present rate and the use of
beer to Increase, New York may yet
behold the unbelievable sight of ban
quets at which the -toasts are actual
ly drunk In malt liquor. ;
New York, Jan. 19. (Special) New
York's famous Fulton market, which
during the 90 years of Its existence,
four generations have bought and sold
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of foodstuffs, is soon to pass. When
New York was young, Fulton market
took the place of the old Fly market,
which got Its name from the Dutch
"v'lel" (valley).. The Fly market In
1699 was further down the river near
Maiden Lane. Many years later the
market was moved to Fulton Slin so
as to accommodate the Long Island
farmers who brought their teams over
on the Fulton ferry. Fulton market
was established under chapter 75 of
the laws of 1817 for the purpose of
supplying the "common" people with
the necessaries of life at reasonable
prices.;' A big fire had swept away
the building nrUlnnlly on the mm-ket
site and farmers and marketmen ear
nestly petitioned that the land be tak
en for a market. Of late venrs. hnw-
eyer, the market which Is still own
ed by the city, has not produced suf
ficient income to' nav emm. t
addition the ancient building is in
such a state of decay that only very
expensive repairs could save it from
condemnation. '
