pallyof plato ghws, although tho or
nate iron structure is painted pale
green and balconies of Mqorlsh design
decorated with silver appear at every
one of tho seven stories. Thin twisted
columns painted in gold, silver nnd
pale green extend as high ns the sec
ond floor of the house. These gay tints
would make the building striking
enough with the gilt letters that blnze
on all the glass windows on every
floor. A sudden sight of tho edifico is
dazzling to one accustomed to. the com
paratively sober style of our sky
scrapers.

The magnificent new Hotel Astor
as been in operation now two weeks,
uring which time its splendors have
ccn inspected and admired by thous-
nils of sightseers. The Astor was the
rst of Broadway's now hotels to be
pened for business, tho event being
AmuUaneous with tho formal opening
the 350-room addition to the Hotel
iperinl. Tho Hotel Astor contains

Tho rate of suicide by carbolic acid
has increased from 31 per cent of
males and 47 per cent of females in
1902 to 35 per cent of males and 59
per cent of females. Taking cogni
zance, of the epidemic, Health Commis
sioner Barlington has amended his
code to forbid the sale of carbolic acid
or phenol, to any person without a
physician's prescription. In spite of
the fact that the death is violent nnd
excessively painful, it hns come to be
the preferred method of suicide, espe
cially among women, and mere school
girls have been known to tako car
bolic acid on mere impulse.
Hereafter hens no bearing tho
union label will not bo allowed to lay
eggs for the market in or about Feder
ated Newark. Tho Egg Inspectors'
Mutual Protective Union has demand
ed that all egg crates must bo union
ized and cooks are asked not to handle,
heat, boil, frizzle, escallop, fry, roast,
scramble, omelet or shirr any egg com
ing 'from a non-union crato; any t hen
laying eggs for non-union crates might
as well save herself the trouble, bo
cause tho market will be closed against
them. And if any person eating such
eggs becomes sick, no union physician
is going to treat a caso of non-union
indigestion. The Amalagamted Cack
lers are expected to hold a meeting
next week to discuss tho issue.
Competition in the laundry business
has grown so keen of late years that
in order to hold his trade almost every
laundrymnn has to offer grenter nccom
dations continually. Ono of the West
Side lnundries now advertises that it
will "mend flannels and darn socks
free." Since the adoption of this plan
tho laundry has incrensed its business
wonderfully. The scheme was to catch
tho trade of unmarried young men, but
busy housewives were quick to see the
advantage of such a plan.

The Statue of Liberty in Now York
haibor is to bo cleaned and burnished
so that it will once more bo in fit con
dition to "enlighten the world." The
balance of $40,000, which was left af
ter it had been erected on Bedloo's
Island at the expense of public spirit
ed subscribers, has nt last been turned
over to tho war department, nfter con
siderable legal quibble ns to what
should bo done with it. A thorough
renovation of tho statue is now prom
ised. It is plnnned also to install an
electric elevator to tako visitors to the
interior of the crown.
Although congested conditions of
population are reported in many Hnr
lem districts as a result of tho influx
from the lower East Side, it is becom
ing more apparent that tho most ur-1
gent demand for new houses comes
from tho better middle clnsscs who do
not belong to the lower Enst Side peo
ple. Tho middle class is being gradu
ally but persistently forced out of
Manhattan. It refuses to live in pro
miscuous tenements, and ns there is no
satisfactory provision within means in
Manhattan, the movement is toward
the outlying boroughs and to tho near
er Jersey settlements.
