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,

But all these possibilities the hojd

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

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

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

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.
