Opening of Mrs. W. K. Van
derbilt's Hygienic Tenements.
MK8. W. K. VANDEHB1LT, BR.
. Through the generosity of Mrs. Wil
lam K. Vanderbilt. Sr.. 334 apart
ments were recently opened lu New
York city providing homes for persons
with tubercular tendencies. These
apartments are to-be rented at nominal
prices. Id planning the humane enter
prise Mrs. Vanderbilt desired that per
sons of limited means who might be
in delicate health sbonld enjoy the ben
efits of a trip to n high priced sanita
rium without leaving home.
For the purpose, of educating tenants
as to the most hygienic aud economic
methods of furnishing their homes an
apartment of five rooms and bath, fur
nished in a manner approved by emi
nent medical authorities, will be avail
able for inspection at all times. It is
expected that the four buildings will
shelter about 2.0(C) persons wheu all
the suits have been taken. In 'addition
to giving delicate members of a family
a chance to regain their health, one of
the chief advantages of the plan will
be that families will not lie broken up.
as is generally the case when illness
forces the ailing one to seek a more
beneficial atmosphere.
Overlooking the East river, with its
ever changing and interesting pano
rama, the four buildings are situated
on the new John Jay park, one of the
most desirable locations imaginable.
The buildiugs are separated by gener
ma courts in order that there shall be
free and unobstructed circulation of air
at all times. The structures are of
modern fireproof construction, and not
having been designed to produce in
come, in the ordinary commercial
sense, no expense has been spared to
make them sanitary and healthful. As
all the staircases are exterior, each
apartment is a unit, this arrangement
assuring greater privacy and quiet for
the patients.
The entire roof space is given over
to gardens and playgrounds, covered
and uncovered, and it is believed that
this feature will appeal to all the ten
ants. Why He.Asked.

One morning while in London on tak
Ing up my newspaper after breakfast
to scan the news my eye fell on a per
sonal which read as follows:
; Wanted. One versed in smuggling de
vices to carry valuable papers. -
Now. if there was any man who
could beat me In methods to pull the
wool over customs officers 1 would
have been pleased to meet him.
I bad begun my labors by working
the hollow boot heel racket; then I hsd
a lot of diamonds fixed up in cherries
to ornament a woman's hat and hired a
passenger on the ship going over with
me to wear it. She ,got through all
right, but came down on me for all the
profit or she would peach. I made
some money by having the tiny works
of a lady's watch put in a chronometer,
the space around the wheels and pivots
being tilled with valuable-jewels. A
wax tumor on the top of my head-was
cut open by butcherly customs man
and disclosed a big diamond, the profit
on which would have been $20,000
The diamond and the profit both went
by the board. Passing over the Swiss
line into France, I bad a bouquet in
which there was $10,000 worth of Ge
neva watch works. A lady confederate
carried .it safely over for me, and she
didn't bleed me either, for she didn't
know she carried anything but flowers
It occurred to me to get on my feet
again by securing, if possible, this ad
vertlsed job; but. though 1 knew ways
and means. 1 was the best known man
In the business to the customs men.
and that would make me the worst
man to successfully carry valuable pa
pers, for it was evident that the owuer
wished to get them through secretly
and all my luggage would be turned
inside out for smuggled goods. Be
sides, the papers might be bulky, and
that would make tbeui hard to get
through. They couldn't tif wound

around the body like lace, and they
couldn't be carried in a false wart on
the nose.
I spent a whole day trying to think
up a plan to get thpse papers through,
providing for dangers similar to those
to be met in a custom house, but fail
ed. At 4 o'clock the uext morning I
awoke and lay in bed thinking. My
brain always works better at that time
than any other. . I worked out a scheme
which I consider the crowning device
of my life
By 9 o'clock I had mailed a reply
to the ad., and the next morning's
post brought me a reply I was in
vited to call at the office of a promi
nent firm of solicitors. I went to the
address at once and was introduced
into the private otlice of the head of
the' firm. Mr. Edward Collamore.
"Now. sir." he said to me. "I am
ready to listen to your fitness for tne
work of carrying some legal documents
to New York, of which any ordinary
messenger would be robbed on the
way. if not murdered as well."
1 gave hi ut a history of my work in
deceiving customs officers. He -was
quite pleased at some of my devices.
esecially the carrying of watchworks
in a bouquet, and asked me if papers
could not be carried in that way. I
told him that depended on the person
or persons who would try to get pos
session of them. He was sufficiently
impressed with my accomplishments to
tell me all about the work be needed
done.-
Viscount B., one of his clients, bad
laarried an American heiress owning
8D Immense property' in. New York:
There were other persons the count
ess' half brothers and sister who were
interested. She had recently died, and
her. husband was having a big fight
with these persons for the property.
His case hinged on certain papers
which were in London and must be
transmitted to the surrogate's office
in New York. Unscrupulous attor
neys were acting for the American par
ties, who knew of these papers and
that if they con Id get possession of
them some $10,000,000 would pass to
their clients. "Now." said Mr. Colla-
- more, "tan you transmit the papers
' safely? If you can yon will be paid
10 per cent of the t count's inherit
ance." ,. '"
VHow'do you know that I will not
turn tueiu i ver to tht .New York par
ties for twice that?" z
"I have a plan for preventing your
doing so."
"Your plan would fail. However. 1
can gjxe you a scheme of operations
by which you can work wiih me. I
shall need a confederate. You may
name that confederate."
' "Proceed."
"I shall- require a few carpenter's
tools, which i shall take with me on
the ship, and a tiny pot of paint. I
suppose from what you have told me
that the moment the papers leave your
vaults the enemy will know it."
"I have been told that We have spies
here in this office, and the best Lon
don detectives are watching us."
"Very well, send the papers to the
ship in any way you like and deliver
them to me in my stateroom, which
you will engage for me. As soon as you
have secured it cable some one you
kuow in New York to engage it for the
return trip. This done, we shall pro
ceed further." -
"I will attend to the matter at once.
How" about your confederate?" " '
"He may go with me on the trip and
will take the papers from me in New
York." -'-
"But I don't understand the necessity
for these details." '- '' -
"They are more necessary ofl my acr
count than on yours. A long experi
ence enables me to get these papers
through for you, but that experience
makes me a suspicious character. - 1
shall be searched by- the customs of
ficers in New York. ; But therejs this
advantage .in your employing me. Like
ly your opponents will get on to the
fact of my taking the papers to Ameri
ca. If they don't I prefer that you
should see that they do. This will
concentrate suspicion on me." f
"And insure failure." - -
It took some time to convince Mr.
Collamore of the expediency of em
ploying me. In fact, I was obliged to
give him my whole scheme before he
would do so. - When. I told him all he
engaged me at once. ;
I was given the papers In his office
and went direct to the ship, watched
by several detectives, who remained On
the dock till the ship had sailed. Once
in my stateroom I took my carpenter's
tools from a satchel, loosened a board
In the floor,' put in the papers and,
putting back the board, dabbed a little
paint on it. so that its removal wonld
not be noticed. To make more sure I
removed the board under the berth.
I was conscious of being watched all
the way over, but : I did not know
whether my watchers were in the
service of the London or the New York
parties interested in the papers.' One
man. a middle aged gentleman, I sus
pected of being my confederate, who
was not to make himself known to me,
but I was not sure. -It didn't matter
to me how closely I was watched, for
as soon as I had concealed the papers
under the floor of my stateroom my
work was done. When we arrived at
New York and I went ashore I was
accosted by a customs man who knew
me well by: ' -
"Hello.. Bob! What racket are yon
working on this time?" -
He took me and my baggage into a
private room' and went through every
thing. He found nothing dutiable, not
even my carpenter's tools, for I had
thrown them overboard. Finding noth
ing, he let me go. I had not got a block
from the dock before 1 -was attacked
by a gang of roughs, one of whom,
doubtless disguised, searched me. A
policeman picked me up half dead, put
me in a cab and sent me home. .
My confederate had received full in
structions from Mr. Collamore. A
couple of hours before the ship sailed
the former went aboard the ship, ac
companied by one who purported to be
his daughter, but who "was really a
typist in the employ of a legal firm
who were Mr. Collamore's correspond
ents. The confederate, having obtain
ed the key to his stateroom the one
I had occupied on the last trip from
England went there and. with tools
he carried in his suit case, took up
the board in the floor, secured the pa
pers, the typist concealed them on her
person and. when the "All ashore!"
bell was rung, bidding a tearful .good
by to him . who purported to be her
father, she went down the gangplank,
and in another hour the papers were
deposited in the vaults of asafety de
posit company.
According to the contract I had made
before leaving London. I was given
$200 a month till the estate was set
tled, when I was to receive a million.
I was paid the $200 regularly; but
when the final settlement was made I
was put off with a beggarly half mil
lion on the ground that after all the
viscount ' had been obliged to compro
mise with the American heirs.
However. I am quite comfortable
and do not need to practice any more
schemes, for I can get on very well
from the income I enjoy from the pro
ceeds of my last venture. . I live in
London and .am much respected,
though I am known to be a retired
smuggler. You see, of late years smug
gling has become fashionable. The
wives of American millionaires do the
principal part of what is done in that
line and do it on the other side of the
big pond. As for the English, they so
dislike our protection system that any
man who can beat an American cus
toms officer Is popular among them.
But I'm. getting tired of London.
I'm thinking of going to Ireland. The
pride of family Is going out in Eng
land, and there is no country where
It is still held In respect except among
the older families of the Emerald Isle.
If that rascally viscount hadn't beaten
me out of n part of my pay for getting
his bloom in papers through I could
have set up a racing stable In Ireland.

6TH AND MAIN STREETS
THE MAN THAT CARRIES EVERYTHING IN THE AUTO LINE
Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN J A. NYE.
JACK SHEETS, HERO.
One of my correspondents asks for
the story of Jack Sheets, the wireless
hero.
Here it Is:
Jack Sheets is a sixteen-year-old
high school boy of Philadelphia. Dur
hls spare hours he mastered the mys
tery of wireless telegraphy and learn
ed the code.
Last summer he secured a position
during vacation as wireless operator
on the steamer Lexington, an Atlantic
coast vessel.
- On the first "Voyage out the ship ran
into a storm off the coast of South
Carolina. Huge waves swept over the
vessel. The frightened passengers
huddled in the cabin, while the crew
fought to keep the Lexington off the
much dreaded reefs.
Lying prone on the deck, where no
man could stand, and cool as a veter
an, , was young Sheets, flashing his
distress signal over the waters.
Before long, because of the buffet
ing of the waters, the wireless rigging
was parted from the transmitter, ren
dering the boy's instrument useless.
Rut
in his makeup was hero stuff. He
realized that the lives of passengers
and crew were in his small bands, and
he took a desperate chance. -
No sooner was the connection bro
ken than he started to climb Into the
rigging with his instrument Up there,
stretched between the masts, was the
wireless outfit.
The captain, himself lashed to the
wheel, looked , to see the boy blown
away in the teeth of the, gale or
thrown into' lhe' sea by the lurching
of the ship.
It was a fearsome chance. -
Summoning alt- his determination
and every atom of his strength and
agility, young Sheets slowly but sure
ly made his way. Lashing himself to
the mast, he was- able to attach his
Instrument to the wires.
And there he stayed.
Meantime the vessel had drifted on
to the reefs and was pounding out
its life. And Jack Sheets, the six
teen-year-old-boy, was up there sound
ing out his pleading call for aid. . -.
Finally through the storm came an
answering signal, and shortly after
the revenue cutter Yamacrow came to
the rescue.
It was a situation requiring good
seamanship, but tbe passengers and
crew were taken off, one at a time;
The last one off was the captain. The
next Co the last was Jack Sheets. "
Yes; heroism is common.
But, mind you, it never is common
place. Bashful.
Nellie Is that fellow of yours ever
going to get up the courage to pro
pose? Belle Guess not. He's like an
hourglass. Nellie Like an hourglass?
Belle Yes;, the more time he gets the
less sand he has. Philadelphia Times.

1MRTY ELECTS
SELF COMMITTEEMAN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. Represen
tative ' Lafferty today elected himself
Republican Congressional committee
man from Oregon to succeed ex-Representative
Ellis. It was a solemn
occasion, but it was effective.
Senator Bourne called a meeting of
Republican members of the Oregon
delegation, but Representative Haw
ley was ill and could not attend. When
Lafferty arrived the two insurgents
proceeded to the election of a Con
gressional committeemaa Each wrote
the name of his first choice on a slip
of paper and dropped the vote in a
hat When the slips were opened up
there was one vote for Bourne and
one for Lafferty. Bourne looked at
Lafferty . and Lafferty looked at
Bourne.
"Letf'3 vote again," said Bourne, and
two, more slips were written out and
deposited. This time there were two
votes for Lafferty. It was Lafferty's
vote for himself that broke the tie.
"Let's shake on the unanimous
vote," said Bourne, and the meeting
adjourned.
Lafferty was asked afterward what
decision had been reached.
"Oh, our action was confidential,"
said he. "Any information must come
from Senator Bourne."
At the Republican caucus tonight,
Lafferty reported that a "majority of
the Republican members of the Ore
gon delegation had chosen him for
committeeman.'"' And in accordance
with rule, the caucus ratified Laffer
ty's selection.
PAUL GOZESKY BURIED.
The funeral of Paul Gozesky, who
committed suicide Saturday by drink
ing carbolic acid because he could
not obtain work, was held Monday
afternoon at the Holman Undertak
ing. Establishment, the interment be
ing in Mountain View Cemetery. The
services were attended by many
friends of the deceased.
Gratitude!
An unusual form of testamentary
gratitude is recorded in the diary of
Henry GrevIIle. "A man who had
spent much of his time in fishing left
a direction in his will that as he had
derived much nourishment as well as
pleasure from the fish he bad caught
at Chertsey it was only fair to the
descendants of those fish that be in re
turn should become their food. He
therefore desired that his body should
be cast into the Thames at Chertsey."
