NEW YORK, Aug. 1,-New York will never have an office building a mile tall, in spite of all the recent talk to that effect. Indeed it will never have one half a mile high for that mat ter, unless the present building code is expanded instead of contracted as the present architectural policy de mands. For the limit in height of any building in New York is now ab lolutcly fixed at 2,(XK) feet, or about two-fifths of a mile, and in view of the present outcry against the latest skyscraper it seems certain that that limit will not only never be increased but will shortly be diminished. The reason that New York will never have tiny of the mile high buildings predic ted for it is not only architectural but geological. The city does not rest on a basil any too firm as it is. Be yond a certain point it will be abso lutely impossible to rest additional weight on the underpining of the city. The limit of this weight it has just been figured out amounts to a foun dation pressure of the enormous amount of fifteen tons to the square foot. On a building lot 200 feet Mis Margaret Higgins entertained ; "I"", which is about the limit in the the members of the Thursday Clubja'ready crowded downtown district yesterday afternoon at her home on M' wi:! mca" niiximum height of Kltrhiti mrcM i-"s feet.

When asked if he could consume more than six beers without showing the effect he became extremely angry, "Me drink six!' was his retort, "Why, I only been off de blankets an hour and I've planted fif teen pots.' ' But while "Chuck" is a consistent performer he is held to be in the kindergarten class compared with such prominent Boweryitci as "Calway Paddy" and "Hoxie Clark." The former once consumed seventy six goblets of beer in six hours and then to complete the wager walked a chalk line. This performance still stands as the record. Mr. Stutt Mc Dennott, another thirsty resident of the lower East End, averages around Si glasses a day and says that he con siders himself on the water wagon when consuming lesi than twenty. In view of these fact! it is no wonder that Dr. Berbert's dictum has been the cause of much mirth on the Bowery, Anne of Green Gables, Montgomery M-s. Carles Bergman entertained the la.'ies of the Aid Society of the First Lutheran church and a number of friends at her home in Uppertown on Wednesday afternoon. There was a cood attendance.

Miss lister Asp entertained the Dorcas Society of the First Lutheran Church and a number of friends with a "Walkout Party" on Friday evening. The Fairvicw grounds on Young's, River was selected as the site for the evening's festivities. Chinese lanterns were strung fronij the trees and a large bonfire built on the beach. Games were played and1 a happy time was experienced by all. The hostess served sandwiches cake and ice cream for refreshments Mrs. George W. Sanborn and Mrs. Frank H. Sanborn were hostess on Friday afternoon at the home of the former for a charming five hundred party. The decorations for this oc casion were beautiful and artistic, the parlors in pink and . white with sweet peas and in the dining room, pink roses. About 40 guests were present and spent a delightful afternoon. High cards were held by Mrs. G. W.

The most baffling pro blem which has ever been put up to .this department has just developed in the question "Is it necessary for a rooster la trow!" This is looked on by some members of the force as akin Mr. Edward E. Henry, with the United States Express Co., Chicago, writes: "Our General Superintendent, Mr. Quick, handed me a bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy some time ago to check an attack of the old chronic diarrhoea I have used it since that time and cured many on our trains who have been sick. I am an old soldier who served with Rutherford B. Hayes and to the old inquiry as to why a chic ken crosses the road.

As a result of his investigations he places the most common reasons for the rup ture of martial ties in this order. Ex travagances and wastefulness, Clubs, Drink, , Too much mother-in-law, Bridge Whist, Bad Bread. Bridge whist by the way is becom ing a more and more common cause for divorce since it is stated that one business failure out of every seven teen in New York is caused by the gambling propensities of wives and their inability to win. Whatever it may think of its own shortcomings in this respect, New York is certain that such a commonplace cause as that ad vanced by Dr. Wiley-that is bad bread- is entirely without the pale of its consideration. ine cnances are twenty to one against being blown up in New York by the Black Hand Society. At least these are the odds quoted by the fa mous Lloyd's, which has lately achie ved considerable notoriety by writing "insurance" on the forthcoming pres idential election. While Wall Street has a very black eye as a result of its willingness to gamble on so-called securities the famous English under writers association has given New York a new lesson in, the gentle art of gambling by its latest step. Practi cally what the English agency is wil ling to do is to bet that the Black Hand is bluffing but various persons who have received threatening letters from this mysterious society are not entirely reassured by this view.

One of the most pro minent of the Boweryites, Mr. "Suds" MacFee, known for his temperance on all subjects, has come to the support of Mr. Gerbert, in that he believes in a limit to beer which can safely be consumed bv thirsty individuals. On the amount however, he and Dr. Ger bert differ widely, for "Suds" would maks the limit thirty glasses a day, coast agian. sum of currency themselves, their fa milies, and the buildings they live in will be blown into smithereens, have been availing themselves of the new English insurance as a protection against explosive death.

From the standpoint of LlcTyds, however, the matter is merely one of relative chance on which the associa tion is willing to bet twenty to one than the Black Hand won't get you or your house whether you do or don't watch out.
