all night under a Juniper tree. In wore
weather than that."
So since Mr. Hill could not go to
Fum. Mr. Hanley urged all of tha
Kurns people as many as could to so
over to see Mr. Hill.
"We wsnt to go over and pay our
resperts to Mr. Hill. That Is our rail
road Just as much as It Is Hend's." he
urged. "It's Central Oregon's railroad.
We want to go over and see Mr. "Hill
drive the golden spike, and we want
to encourage him, and keep him busy
driving golden spike tn Central Ort
gon." That Is the spirit of the Interior. It
Is the spirit that does things. As
nearly as It Is possible it Is the spirit
that the men of the Interior are Imbued
with. "All for one. and one lor all."
C:in you doubt that men of such spirit
will succeed In getting railroad to
build further Into their rich country?

MAYOR GAYNOR PUTS DAMPER ON
CITY'S PROPOSED "COLUMBUS DAY"
Celebration Preparation in Hand of Wealthy Men Who Want "Poor Public" to "Pay Piper," but City'f
Executive Toils Move, and Eude Awakening Oaynor Believe in Economy.
N
BT LLOTD r. LONBRllAX.
EW TOR K. Oct. T. (Special.)
W are going to celehrat Colum
bus day next Thursday, but ex
what will be dona Is a problem
that Is not answered at tb last mo
ment. The preparations are In the
hands of a committee of cltixens. but
recent developments liar made them
very peevish.
These public-spirited rltlaena have
been working at odd tlmea for many
weeks, preparing an elaborate pro
gramme. Tha featurea included a pa
rade uf the National Guard. Knights of
Columbus. Boy eV-outm. many Italian so
cieties and everyone els that could b
ordered or Induced to march. Also
there was to b a great banquet at
which the committeemen and all their
friends, familiarly known as "distin
guished guests. were to win, dine and
talk.
Mayor Oaynor waa consulted at inter
vale, and Invariably approved of a very
thing Lbat was being don. Apparently
xpans waa do waller to aim, aaA tba
happy committeemen wr apurred on
to fresh extravagance. Ob. It was to
bo a lively time.
Bad Anskislsg Caa.es,
There was a rude awakening, how
ever, when the committee, having; com
pleted ita plana, went to tb Board of
Estimate and asked, for money. All
they wanted at the start was 140.000.
just tn make the wheels revolve. Jduch
to their surprise, they didn't get on
cent. -..
"When I named this committee." the
Mayor explained In kindly tones, "I
never dreamed that you would ask the
city for money. The plan, of course,
waa that the rash ahould be raiaed by
popular euhscrtptton."
There waa a hurried meeting of the
committee, and from all evecounts, a
private war dance. Finally, the chair
man handed out this statement:
The members of tha Columbus day
celebration committee keenly regret th
refusal of th city tn appropriate money
to carry out th work for which tba
Mayor, at th request of th Board of
Aldermen, appointed them, but bavins;
undertaken th task they ara deter
mined to perform it, trusting; to the
public spirit of New Torkers to sgpply
the necessary funds."
Th general Impression Is that the
committeemen are "stung. New Tork
baa never raiaed a large aum of money
for any cvlc affair, even as far back
aa the time of the Statu of Liberty,
and they ara not storming the City Hall
with cash for the honor of Columbus.
Committeemen Are Wealthy.
The committeemen are nearly all
wealthy men. and It would not hurt
them one bit to pay the bills them
selves. Thla suggestion has been made,
only to be greeted with loud howls.
They want tb dear public to help, but
the dear public has a fancy to spend
its money In Us own way.
What tha outcome of the affair will
be no one can say. It Is safe to pre
dict, however, that the next time
Mayor Gaynor wants a committee of
prominent cltlsens he will be compelled
to get out warrants before he can land
them.
From the viewpoint of the ordinary
humble taxpayer, conditions are ideal.
For yaara tbar hav been paying tba
bills to buy gold medals and course
banquets fox solemn eld humbugs. Ktw
a celebration comes along that la not
going to cost tbem one cent.
So far as Gaynor is concerned, the
committee can go as far as It likes.
It can buy one another badges, flags
and uniforms, but It must pay the bills
Itself. And the poor committeemen are
bustling as hard as they can, hoping
to find enough "public spirit" to save
them from financial loss. Here is
wishing them (rood luck.
One of the committee, Arthur Ben
InKton, is an Italian chevalier. He ex
plains that there are only seven other
Italians among; his colleagues, the full
membership belna-440, and that it Is a
shame to call the affair a "Wop Holi
day," as many rude persona are do
ing. Burglar Alarm la New Place.
They have put up a burglar alarm
on Police Headquarters, so that thieves
will not get in and muss up the Rogues'
Gallery.
The old glory of headquarters is
slowly but surely departing. Former
ly a captain was on duty there all
night so that in case of emergencies,
the proper police arrangements could
be made. Now tha building Is simply
the office of Commissioner Waldo and
his staff, and everyone Is out at ( P. M.
After that there ia only one decrepit
old patrolman on duty, as watchman.
Janitor and telephone operator.
There are no more detective lineups
In the morning, so that the sleuths can
see the new prisoner The defectives
are assigned to the vsrious stations.
The cells where prisoners were de
tained, are now empty, and will not be
used. Even fir alarms do not coma
in at night. The whole town might be
burning down after f "P. lit, or Hayor
Gaynor have a fit on the steps of the
City Hall, and only the adjacent po
lice station would know anything
about it.
It is said that these changes have
been made at the direct order of Mayor
Gaynor, who has some queer notions at
times. Waldo Is doing the best he can
under the circumstances, and the in
stallation of the burglar alarms dem
onstrates that lie is taking all the pre-
I cautions that are possible. But crooKs
may find It possible to break In any
way, for burcrlm- al.irms are not al
ways able to Keep quirK-wnino. cruun
out. If thev want to gft Into a certain
house.
Court Flxhlhlt Interesting.
A recent exhibit In the Bankruptcy
Court that Is exciting much Interest,
is the schedule of Mrs. Kthel E. Elli
ott, formerly a show j-rlrl. then the wife
of a millionaire broker and mine own
er, and now a divorcee.
Mn Klliott won a divorce In 1906,
and was nald tl.ii0ft.000 In cash, and ali
mony of $20,000 a year. Now she asks
the law to clear her of debts amounting
to 24.0fl(U and has no available as
sets. She explains that her former
h,,.Kor,rl is'in arrears S28.000 on the
alimony nroposltlon. but she under'
stands that the creditors do not come
in nn that.
She owes J 11.600 for dresses, hats
and furs: $2166 for rent; $1097 for laces
and underclothing, and smounts rang
ing from $14 to $360 for milk, meat,
hardware, ice, coal. toys, books, pam
pers and magazines, cab hire, doctors,
and even piano tuning. The Inference
is that she spent her alimony and mil
lion for subway tickets, for apparent
ly she owes for everything else.
Within the past year many society
women have taken advantage of the
bankruptcy laws to clear off their ex
travagant shopping bills. The result
Is that dealers are becoming more wary
In the matter of credit, and many sup
posedly rich persons are required to
pay C O. D.
The courts are beginning to frown
on these claims too, and the chances
ar that before long they will be
thrown out. A lawyer who practices
largely in tha United States courts,
said to me the other day:
"The bankruptcy laws were- designed
to give deserving business and profes
sional men a fresh start, the idea being
that unless relieved from a heavy load
of debt, they might not be able to rise
again- It was never intended as an
easy way to pay drygoods bills, but
many women seem to have that idea.
I expect that very shortly the Judges
will refuse to grant discharges In such
eases. Cnless they do- so, there will
be strong efforts to have the law re
pealed." 4S-Ceat Dinner gliovta.
Up at the Pure Food Show at Madison-Square
Garden much excitement
was created when Mrs. Anna Scott, of ,
aend
at the
Philadelphia, demonstrated to the, club
women that It was possible to cook
a four-course dinner for four persons
at a cost of only 49 cents.
She did it and here is what they got:
Barley soup, German beef stew, gar
nished with carrots, side dishes of po
tatoes and string beans, lettuce salad
and grape tapioca pudding.
Well, probably it Is a dinner, but I'd
hate to have to eat it. The only good
thing about it is the 49-cent cost.
Stephen Seidenheimer had a salary
of $10 a week, but managed to cut. a
swath In the night life of New York.
His employer Investigated and found
that Stephen had stolen $635. Where
upon Stephen was arrested and con
victed of grand larceny. His relatives
made restitution, and many pleas for
mercy poured in on Judge Swann. Sen
tence was suspended for so long as
the prisoner kept away from the Great
White Way. .
"Make Broadway and Forty-second
street the center, and make the radius
a good big one." the court commanded.
1 shall instruct the trafrio polioemen
in that section and the detectives to
..tiinTi.tiHhpiiiff vou before me if
T find von there, men i sua"
you to prison for five years
least."
One reason why this peculiar sen
tence was imposed Is that the wife of
the prisoner wrote Judge Swann a
pathetic letter, winding up with thes
words: m,
"I know that the Great White Way
dragged him down, but will you pleas
give him a chancer'
A Blind Baroness.
London Tit-Bits.
A short time ago th Baroness von
Kranischfeld (Miriam Gardner) an
English woman, died in Bucharest. Th
Baroness, who was one of the Queen of
Roumania'e personal friends, was writ
ing a poem one day when a mist sud
denly spread over her eyes, and she
thus became, in her 60th year, totally
blind. In spite of her age, however,
h Ttaroness attended an English
school to learn the alphabet and the
use of the typewriter, and In the end
triumphed over her affliction to the
extent of being able to make her own
clothes and hats without any aia
whatever.
