Woman's World 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.

Carried From London to New York - By STEPHEN TROWBRIDGE T .i..i..I..H-i-.i-.r'.H--M"i"i"i"i"i-i"i-i"i"i"i"i"i-i' 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 3 3vh. I WAS GJVKN THB PAPERS IN HIS OFFICE.' 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. Buried Treasure. " .

KIIIlLILrlSIt 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.

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." London Tatler. MENTAL ENERGY. It pays to think.
