and Down In Gotham Town Fifth Avenue Fascinating, but Not to Be Explored Without Caution A Friendly kterchange Pie and Finance. v A New Kind of Man. From Our New York Correspondent. HE Fifth avenue bos a wide reputation both at borne and abroad as a gen eral observation ground. Those who visit Gotham do not delay long In getting there, and those who have never been outside the city limits are equally conscious of tha thoroughfare's Ir resistible charm. It is a region In which something Is continually go ing on. Those who go there to see things are !.ippoInte4 rarely. Now, the seeing of those things in volves some risk. In these degenerate, Lombroslan days one may traverse tho Bowery from Chatham square to Cooper institute, even at midnight or after, In tbe most prosaic and uninter esting security. There was a time when Chinatown was an uncertain re gion to explore late at night, but it has lost its excellent reputation as a pos sible thriller, and the present rectitude of Its ways and byways Is positively disgusting to him or her who Is in search of the otherwise. The ancient glory of the Five Points neighborhood has departed forever. It has been cap tured and stripped of Its old time naughtiness by the most peaceable and law abiding colony of Sicilians that ever preferred polenta to starvation. One might remain In the section for a week without molestation, and during all that period he would probably wit ness nothing more exciting than an occasional- verbal and gestlculatory con flict between rival dealers In domestic and Imported macaroni. Not so with the Fifth avenue. He, she or it not to show sex discrimina tion who would see it as It should be seen must do it at the risk of bodily Injury, maybe worse. Within the past lew years there has been a genuine wild western holdup by dayllcht in the vicinity of the Waldorf-Astoria, Only a few short months ago pedes- trlans on the gUded highway wer , 'JlBJLJWTLY TO 77VK Ff-Jft compelled to dispute the right of way wun a nuge boa constrictor, and only last month nn .inhant i '., ! adventures emerrl frnm ti, : ncauu ui drome Jungle and gravitated jubilantly to the Fifth avenue. But all these possibilities the hojd np, the serpent and the frisky elephant are as nothing compared with a new danger which confronts the frequenters of the gay ave nue. Recently a bright red wagon on which the leg end "Dynamite" Is displayed in large letters has made Its appear ance. From Its dashboard flut ters nonchalantly a little red flag on which Is In scribed the sug gestive caution, "Danger!"

The genial chancellor speaks no Danish and the blond and Intelligent student body of the Danish school speaks no English, but that fildn't seem to stand In the way of the general hilarity of the occasion. As an ontertalner Chancellor MacCracken was a ten strike. The Danish youth had never before seen anything of the kind, nnd It sort of prepared the way for an even more novel sensation, two lectures by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia. Now, at home tlint Is. on the Columbia campus the president had never been suspected of bolti s humorist, and ula success In Denmark came as a surprise. Presl--dent Butler invited Professor Otto Jer- j persen of tbe Danish unlversltj M Df An f come over next fall and amuse tlwTlUV Ctllll&S UI Columbia boys, and be baa promised 1 to do so. According to Mark Twain, who. In spite of his lack of humor. Is believed to be a trustworthy authority on geog raphy, tbe three streets in the world most famous are the Applnn way. Broadway r.nd the board walk at At Inntlc City. Jacobus Dnmm is not at one with him in this opinion. "Where is the Applnn way?" be de manded when I quoted the author of "Innocents Abroad. For reasons neither here nor there I did not enlighten him. Nor was it nec essary, for he proceeded without pause to sin? the praises cf his favorite thor oughfare. I "The board waltr be sniffed con temptuously. "Even Coney Island's Surf avenue has the board walk stung to a whisper. I wonder if Mark Twain knows that In 1092 one of my fore- j fathers was offered lots as far north as Fulton street for $20 apiece and : wouldn't buy, the old nincompoop! In those dnys the name of the street was I not Broadway; it was railed Main road. Then It was known as Hoog V'eg, or Highway, and afterward as Heeren street, which meant street of the masters. The board walk. Indeed!" . Terhaps the most human thing about J. rierpont Morgan Is his affection for apple pie. 1 may not answer to the description of a grand passion, but cer tain It is that the great financier cher ishes a tenderness for apple pie that is as genuine In Its way as was the pref erence of Abelard for the society of Helolse. "At precisely 12:30 every work ing day, which means all days except Sunday, tbe Mor- gnn office boy pro ceeds to a nearby lunch room and Invests a dime of the big promot er's fortune In a mammoth piece of apple pie, which constitutes the great man's mid day meal. One evening, at h 1 s New York borne on Madison ivftne, Mr. Mor gan and a few literary and ar tistic friends were discussing epi taphs. Finally each member of tee great mah's the company pro- middat meal, ceeded In turn to quote the most striking and appro priate tombstone Inscription he could remember. When it came Mr. Mor- Ban'" turn he declared that the most Poetic and expressive thing of the mna tnat baa ever been brought to bis attention was tbe following tribute of a disconsolate husband to his wife, who lies burled In the neglected little cemetery of a Maine village: "She was good and true, and she was the best plemaker In Somerset county." Professor Gugllelmo Ferrero, the eminent Italian historian now on a Visit to America, has been making a remarkable character study of Presl- dent Koosevelt. The professor Is very ,t .. . . . enmusiasuc over ms researches In this direction and believes that he has dis covered a new species of nion. "He has some distinctive features which 1 have never before observed In man," the learned young Italian told the stu dents who flocked to his lecture nt Co lumbia university. "For one thing, his frankness is amazing. He confessed that be was a barbarian, although he was born In New Vork. This seemed incredible, but Mr. Roosevelt soon made It clear to me. Almost before be had spoken a word I realized that I was in the presence of a man who was tlon exposed no more to tbe decay that destroys all other civilization." Tbe student body cleared its throat and did the Columbia yell. It was the professor's first experience with this time honored Institution, but a man who Is writing a history of fifty vol umes, five of which are already com pleted, does not lack courage, and be did not lose consciousness. "If I am saying anything out of the way," be said appealing!- "ycu must ascribe It 1 to my difficulty with the English lan- 1 guage." The student body can be gen- ! erous on ocnslon. and It composed It self nnd brhnved like n perfect gentle man until the end. STUYVESANT BROWN. xTW.KAT r Va I V si .
